Well, Tag Explorer brings that same power to YouTube. It helps to find the absolute best tags to add to your videos which are a huge advantage and will directly lead to more views. keep in mind, YouTube tags are really an important part of ranking your YouTube videos and If you are not using these relevant tags then you are missing of the important part of SEO that will lead you only in low ranking in search page.

YouTube allows you to automatically share your published videos to Facebook and also TubeBuddy makes it simple to publish your video to Facebook but the difference is, TubeBuddy shares your video as a native Facebook video, not a YouTube video which gives you all the benefits of native Facebook videos, most notably auto-playing.
To publish your videos from YouTube to Facebook, Just click on "Bulk" button then select "Bulk Publish To Facebook" after going to your Videos section.

There are millions of people who use YouTube to watch videos and It may possible that you have subscribers or viewers those belong to different countries and off course they use YouTube at different times.
According to me, The best strategy to get good amount of views & conversion after publishing your videos is to publish your video at that time when the most of your subscribers or viewers are online and don't worry, You don't need to do hard work for that and also you don't need to wake up at late night for hopping your viewers comes online.

Tracking YouTube mentions is just as important as tracking any other social media mention.
TubeBuddy Pricing – Free and Affordable Paid Plans:
As mentioned at the starting of the article that TubeBuddy is free to use with many plenties of helpful features but It also has feature packed premium plans for advanced users to optimize their YouTube channel and videos seriously but the free plan works well for normal users too.
Currently TubeBuddy offers four different affordable paid plans and If you really want to grow your YouTube channel then I would recommend using paid plans instead of free one and the funniest thing about TubeBuddy paid plans is that the cost of their one month plans is equal to your one day pocket money which invests for fun and useless things.
Sorry to mention that free plan is missing out on some key features like Facebook publishing and bulk processing and also Its version of the Tag Explorer is also limited, which makes it less effective for YouTube SEO but Still, it’s a good option if you’re just starting your YouTube channel.
If you already have a popular channel, you’ll definitely get more value from one of the premium plans. These plans will give you a better Tag Explorer, bulk processing tools to quickly manage all of your videos, and lots more depending on the specific plan that you choose.
My Final Thoughts:
TubeBuddy is a most popular and powerful YouTube SEO tool that helps to manage and grow your YouTube Channel account in an easy way with its countless features which are also easy to use and don't require any technical knowledge.
Also, it doesn't matter, Your channel is popular or not because TubeBuddy will always help you to grow and nothing else.
At the starting, You can go with TubeBuddy free plan but later, I would definitely recommend going with it's affordable paid plans which costs few pence and equal to the one-day pocket money that you invest in fun or useless thing as I said earlier. Now the choice is your that what do you want - Useless things or Be famous and become popular among the world.
