YouTube playlists are one of the easiest ways to increase views<\/a> and engagement for your channel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this article, you\u2019ll learn how to create playlists of your YouTube videos using the YouTube website as well as the mobile app. You\u2019ll also find actionable tips that you can use to make highly watchable, view-generating playlists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Create<\/span> a YouTube Playlist?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You may be wondering, why create a YouTube playlist? Doesn\u2019t that involve a lot of time and effort, just to group together your old videos?<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s true that it can take a while to make playlists for your channel, especially if you\u2019ve uploaded a lot of videos up to this point. But it\u2019s all worth it for these three benefits that YouTube playlists bring to your channel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Groups Similar Videos<\/span> in the Same Place<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Most YouTube creators use playlists to group similar videos in the same place. For example, you can group all your how-to videos together in one playlist, reviews in another, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This practice is beneficial because it not only helps you keep track of the videos you\u2019ve made in each category, but it also allows your viewers to easily find more of the same kind of content.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Improves Your Channel\u2019s SEO<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Playlists can improve your YouTube channel\u2019s search engine optimization (SEO)<\/a> by containing keywords that your viewers are likely to search for. Improving SEO is essential for helping your videos become more discoverable on YouTube as well as Google. You can insert relevant keywords in the playlist title and the description.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Organizes Your Videos<\/span> on Your Channel Homepage<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The third benefit of playlists is they help you organize your videos on your channel homepage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When you create a playlist for public view, it\u2019s displayed on your channel homepage. This makes your homepage look fuller and cleaner. It also allows viewers to browse the content categories they\u2019re interested in quickly instead of forcing them to scroll through your Videos tab.<\/span><\/p>\n
