2. Ubersuggest 

Ubersuggest is a keyword research tool. You can look up a keyword or phrase and see how many searches that keyword gets per month, the SEO difficulty, cost per click, and more information. It can help you research content ideas fast and help determine if a video idea has numerous searches or hardly any at all. It can also be used to check out statistics on a website, you can even check out a competitor’s site.  As a word of caution, it may not be 100% accurate, but the results should be fairly close. Below is just a snippet of the information you can find on Ubersuggest’s page, to learn more click here. 

3. Sprizzy

Sprizzy is a great tool to help your video reach more people with its effective YouTube promotion. Sprizzy is a service that helps your video be found by your target audience on YouTube.

4. YouTube Creator Studio App

The YouTube Creator Studio is an app version of the YouTube Studio. However, many people enjoy using this app as a way to keep track of their channel on the go and make adjustments as needed. You can add thumbnails, respond to comments easily, check analytics, adjust monetization, tags, and more! Definitely, a great app to download and it’s free!

5. Social Blade

Well, Social Blade is a website and an app that has all that info and more! Just go to the website and type in any channel and you can find out these vital stats!

6. Vid IQ

VidIQ is often seen as Tubebuddy’s competitor, but it is a little bit different. While Tubebuddy provides a lot of tools to help promote your channel and track your growth, VidIQ’s strong points are the deep analytics it provides. Personally, I think VidIQ can be helpful for bigger channels or channels that upload consistently and have more than 5,000 subscribers. Of course, any channel can use VidIQ, but the more consistent you upload, the more data you will have to get a bigger picture of where your channel is and where it is going.  VidIQ also has a strong YouTube Channel that frequently does channel reviews and provides a deeper explanation of their analytics tools. VidIQ has a Google Chrome app, a free version and paid versions. Check out VidIQ here! 

7. Morning Fame

This tool is similar to TubeBuddy and VidIQ but touts itself as simplifying your YouTube Growth. The MorningFame layout is simple and easy to understand quickly. The website organization immediately points out what is working for your channel and what is not! You can easily see what content to double up on and create more of. They have a free one month trial, however, after that, it is a paid-only tool. Also, you must have an invite code to use this tool. Brian G Johnson YouTube Expert has an invite link in the description of his video, click here to check it out. The cost is affordable, it starts at around $4-5 a month.
