Transcribe Your Videos and Post the Entire Transcript into Your Video Description

Add text to your videos, its known to increase video views by over 44%.
- Pick out the words, phrases that you want the viewer to catch on to and add that to your video with subtle transitions and effects.
- If the video is divided into segments, use text and transitions at the beginning of each segment. This will make the consumption of a long video much easier
- If there are statistics that you want to call to the attention of the viewer, add that on the video
