As the title above asks. ^^

I've noticed some people put the title of what they are recording first while others put it last. Trying to grow my channel but struggle getting noticed as it is been a small youtuber.

Would love to here everyone opinion on this and what they do with their video titles.

I usually put the game first then then the interesting thing in the video later because I don't want to make my viewers click on a video just because they saw that title, I do it a little bit but most of the time I put the interesting thing at the end

I like making titles that have puns in them, but only when I feel creative that day. You should definitely focus on search engine optimization as well, because getting noticed is key ^^

It depends on the games popularity.

You dont want the same titles as markipier, or pewdiepie, or zack scott, or any of the other million plus subscriber channels...

You just wont win in a battle for search ranking with them...

But if its a new game that not many people are playing you can go with the basic title episode number.. or whatever

For me the game title is in the middle and the episode title is at the end.

Kratos plays (Insert Game Title here) Part ##: Insert Title here

Here is a recent example of mine.

Kratos plays Apollo Justice Ace Attorney Part 38: Little Forehead Growing Up

Why did I select Little Forehead Growing Up as my title? Because it was a line from a character in the game that I got a kick out of hearing XD

I don't do it all the time though. Sometimes I quote things from the episode in the title like above (Sometimes the quote comes from me. It's not always the in game character). Sometimes I'll briefly describe an event from the episode and other times I'll name a new character as the episode title. An episode I just scheduled for Castlevania Aria of Sorrow for example had the episode title Mr. J because I met that character in that episode.

Use capital letters. That's the one thing I hate, when a person dosen't use capital letters in a title. Also tell people what actually happens. For example I would do " PS4 - Star Wars Battlefront - THE DARK SIDE" :)

There's no "right" way to do it, but my personal favorite is putting some funny, eye-catching title, followed by what the video is covering.

For example, I titled my latest vlog:
3 Weirdly Adorable Buys! | Cracker Barrel Haul
