What planpo.st publishes to YouTube: Videos and Shorts.
YouTube is the slowest social network and the longest-lasting one. A post on X is finished in hours; a useful video can still be collecting views, subscribers and sales a year after upload, because YouTube is a search engine wearing a social network's clothes.
That changes what scheduling means here. You are not feeding an algorithm's appetite for daily novelty; you are building a library on a steady cadence, and the cadence is what scheduling protects. This guide covers videos and Shorts through planpo.st, the metadata craft, timing, reusing vertical video, handing uploads to an agent, and why YouTube's description links quietly make it the strongest attribution surface of the seven networks.
Every other network in this lineup mostly shows content to people at the moment of publish, then forgets it. YouTube keeps recommending and surfacing videos for as long as they keep satisfying viewers, and it answers search intent: 'how to', 'review', 'vs', 'tutorial'. A video answering a question your customers actually type is an asset with a yield, not a post with a lifespan.
For products, the highest-intent viewer on the internet is someone watching a demo or a tutorial: they are minutes from a decision. That is why the description link matters more here than any link anywhere else in social, and why connecting YouTube to revenue attribution produces the least ambiguous numbers of any channel planpo.st supports.
Who this channel is for
Standard uploads with title and description, scheduled to the minute. Descriptions run to 5,000 characters with clickable links, room for chapters, context and the tracked link that does the selling.
Vertical short video, published as a Short. Shorts are where YouTube hands out discovery to channels without subscribers, and the same file you cut for Reels and TikTok publishes here unchanged. The cheapest new-audience surface YouTube has ever offered.
The library-and-doorway pattern: Shorts pull strangers in at high volume and low cost, the channel page and end screens hand them to the longer videos, and the longer videos carry the description links that convert. planpo.st schedules both formats in one calendar, so the pattern is a plan rather than an aspiration.
Titles are search queries, not captions
Have a YouTube channel on your Google account
Personal or brand channel both work; you pick the channel during consent if your account manages several.
Approve the Google consent screen
Connections, YouTube, and approve. The app is Google-verified, so you see the standard consent screen (upload and read-only scopes), not an unverified-app warning. Tokens are stored encrypted and refreshed automatically.
Schedule a test Short
A private-audience test or a low-stakes Short two minutes out proves the pipeline before a real premiere depends on it.
The failure mode on YouTube is scope: channels die from planning cinematic uploads that never ship. The sustainable shape for a business is modest and scheduled: a batch of Shorts weekly (recycled from your Reels and TikTok output) and one useful longer video per month, each answering a question customers genuinely ask.
In planpo.st that means uploading the files, writing titles and descriptions in the composer, and placing them on the calendar alongside every other network's posts. Consistency of schedule matters more to YouTube's systems and to audience habit than volume does, and the queue is what makes a monthly video actually monthly.
Timing matters less on YouTube than anywhere else here, because search and recommendation dominate the browse tab. It still matters at the margin: publishing a few hours before your audience's evening gives the first-day velocity that recommendations read as a signal.
The working default: weekday evenings in your audience's timezone for longer videos, and consistent daily or near-daily slots for Shorts, because Shorts feed on freshness more than search. planpo.st schedules to the minute, so publish timing is a decision you make once per video, not a reminder on your phone.

The mistakes video: what to avoid in your niche
Negative framings match how people search when stakes feel real.
Before-and-after transformation with the steps named
Visual proof plus search intent ('how to fix...') in one asset.
Your pricing explained to camera, no evasion
Pre-answers the awkward call; honesty here converts disproportionately.
A yearly 'everything we shipped' recap cut from existing clips
High perceived effort, low actual effort, evergreen on the channel page.
Every vertical video you make is a Short, an Instagram Reel and a TikTok, and planpo.st schedules all three from one upload in one pass. This is the highest-leverage cross-post in the entire product: the marginal cost of the second and third network is zero production and one checkbox each.
The strategic difference is what each network does with it: TikTok and Reels burn hot and fade, the Short keeps surfacing through search and the Shorts feed for months. Same file, different half-lives, which is why the Short is worth the extra checkbox even when the TikTok has already peaked.
You say
Here's the demo video file. Write a search-shaped title and a description with chapters and our tracked signup link, then schedule it Tuesday 5pm and a teaser Short for the same morning.
What happens
The agent uploads both, writes the title like a query, structures the description with the link up top, and books both slots, for your approval if you turned that on. Once scheduled, the upload goes out whether or not Tuesday is chaotic.
You say
Which of our videos drove signups and revenue this quarter, and what should the next three videos be?
What happens
On Pro, the agent reads per-video attributed revenue from the tracked description links, ranks topics by yield rather than views, and proposes the next three titles. The channel starts compounding on evidence.
To set this up, connect your agent once: one command for Claude Code, a link for Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, and no key to paste. Then posting to YouTube from Claude Code lists the settings the publisher reads and the limits that stop a post.
YouTube description links are clickable, sit under content with real intent, and keep working as long as the video keeps getting found. A tracked link there (on Pro) attributes clicks and payments to the specific video, and because of the long tail, the attribution keeps accruing for months. A demo video's revenue line can still be growing a quarter after upload.
Judge videos on a long window
The cinematic brand film that dies in planning loses to the phone-shot demo that ships Tuesday. Publish beats polish here.
'Exciting update!' is invisible to search. 'How to schedule YouTube Shorts' is findable forever.
No link, no chapters, no context: the highest-intent surface in social, wasted. The first two lines and the tracked link are the minimum.
Shorts are the subscriber acquisition channel, and you already own the vertical footage. Pride is expensive.
YouTube assets appreciate. The channel that quits at week four forfeits the month-six yield.
The monthly video that depends on remembering becomes quarterly. The scheduled one stays monthly.
Any agent that speaks MCP can, through the planpo.st server. These 8 have a page each for YouTube, with the connect step, the settings the publisher reads and the limits that stop a post.
