Yesterday I used vidIQ to research my title before starting a new R&B live stream — and it got 600+ views overnight. (Signed up with @Jesse Hull affiliate link) Instead of just guessing a title, I used the title generator and compared SEO-optimized titles with more emotional “Outlier” titles. Some examples vidIQ suggested were: - Pure Soul: 1 Hour of Smooth R&B Live Performances - Nothing But Smooth R&B: The Ultimate Live Soul Collection - Pure R&B Soul Live 🎧 The Smoothest Melodies You Need to Hear - Midnight Soul Sessions 🌙 Smooth R&B Live for Late Nights My simple process: 1. Start with your main keyword, for example “Smooth R&B Live” or “Gospel R&B Live.” 2. Generate several SEO and Outlier title ideas in vidIQ. 3. Look for a title that combines a clear keyword with an emotional reason to click. 4. Make the thumbnail match the promise of the title. 5. Start the live and watch how YouTube responds in the first hours. For this stream, I used: 🔴 Relaxing Gospel R&B Live: Ditch the Noise, Find Peace Now The stream reached 600+ views overnight, and at one point vidIQ showed it moving at around 5.5x my usual pace. Of course, one title does not guarantee views. I use this as a testing system: keyword research → title → thumbnail → live stream → analytics → improve the next one The main lesson: don’t guess your YouTube titles. Research and test them before you go live. Are you doing YouTube lives to get more watch hours? I get 20 - 50 hours per day from that.
