YouTube’s own analysis points creators toward 10 high-performing video types: Challenges, Behind the Scenes, Real and Raw Conversations, DIY and How-To, Soundscapes (including ASMR), Listicles, “I tried…” experiments, “With me…” videos, Reactions, and Official drops. In this post, we highlight a practical set of hashtags for each type, grouped by popularity so you can mix broad high-traffic tags with more specific format and niche tags. Use a small, focused set of hashtags that describe what the viewer gets, avoid stuffing, and build repeatable series around the same video type. For quicker results, you can generate fresh hashtag sets based on your topic using the TunePocket YouTube Hashtags Generator, then pick the best 3–5 for each upload.
