Should you use AI to choose your YouTube Video title?

NO

Here's my recent experience: My latest video on the romantic topic of 'Rotator Cuff Calcific Tendinopathy' was uploaded this week using a title I had asked Gemini to suggest.

I pasted my video script into gemini and asked for 5 keyword rich titles of which I then selected the 1st one on the list.

'Shoulder Calcium Deposits: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment (Calcific Tendinopathy Explained)'

When the video went public it failed to pick up search traffic and I felt that all too common despair that nearly all YouTubers secretly feel very frequently.

The Fix: I knew the solution was a title change. Going back to basics I researched the top ten videos on the topic, filtered by views, and then made a note of the titles and picked out the most common key words. I then used this to create a new title that would appeal to patients more than professionals - because there is more patients looking on YouTube than professionals.

The RESULTS as you can see in the image were rapid and I can now sit back and watch the video grow while I enjoy a cold drink in this UK heat wave.

This is perfect timing because tonight I am teaching my Health Creator Pro students all about Titles and Thumbnails and I can use this example from my own work this week.

The NEW title is: Calcific Tendonitis Shoulder Pain: Treatments Without Surgery

I hope you found this helpful
