How To Get Better YouTube Video Performance

Click "TubeBuddy" tool in the top navigation

Click "Create A/B Test Now"

To see the results of previous tests or in-progress test, click one.

Here, you can view the performance of our original and variation metadata.

TubeBuddy will let you know if the original or variation metadata has statically overperformed or underperformed on YouTube.

Click "Manage" to return to the main A/B testing hub.

Click "Create AB Test"

Select the video you would like for a thumbnail A/B test.

Click "SELECT" and Thumbnail CTR Test.

Click "Stop test" if you would like to stop your test and choose the original or variation at any time.

You can enter a custom number of days to run the test if you like. I do not recommend this option.

Click "Manage" to return to the main A/B testing hub.

I recommend "Run until Click-Through Rate is "Statistically Significant" instead and click "SELECT"

Click "Create AB Test" to start a metadata test.

Click this dropdown if you want to start the test at a scheduled time, otherwise it will start ASAP.

Select the video you would like to test for metadata and click "SELECT" Click "SELECT"

Click "CONTINUE"

Click the "Upload a Thumbnail to Test" field and upload your variation thumbnail.

Once again, I do not recommend determining a set number of days to run your test, but if you must, type that in here and click "SELECT"
