When you publish a new blog post or a YouTube video in general, there are many factors that determine how quickly it will be indexed or discovered by Googlebot. To increase the discoverability of your new blogs, you can use simple SEO practices like

But, without making your blog visible on google search, one cannot implement above methods. Also, if you submit your blog or a YouTube video through FETCH method in Google Webmaster Tools, it will take at least 6 or 7 days for GoogleBot to crawl and index your new blog post.
This is where submitting your blog post to blog directories will help you the most.
Using Blog directories, your blog will be exposed to a completely new audience, you will get highly targeted traffic, and your blog will be generating a good number of backlinks for your blog.
