Full transcript
- 0:00are you uploading shorts but every one
- 0:01of them is getting no views and you're
- 0:03left wondering what magic button to
- 0:04press to push it through the YouTube
- 0:06algorithm to start getting those views
- 0:07but what if I told you it's not the
- 0:09algorithm's fault it's probably because
- 0:11of some mistakes you're making and if
- 0:13you avoid them you can start getting not
- 0:14just a few views but thousands and who
- 0:16knows maybe even Millions depending on
- 0:18your Niche stick with me and I'll show
- 0:20you how all right first mistake that you
- 0:22must be making is uploading a lot of
- 0:24shorts in just a day in general terms
- 0:26you'd call this spam you keep on
- 0:28uploading one after another with just a
- 0:30few minutes gap between them and that's
- 0:31a big no no it can overwhelm your
- 0:33subscribers and mess with your reach
- 0:35YouTube's algorithm isn't in favor of
- 0:37spamming and it's clearly mentioned in
- 0:38its Community guidelines too so don't
- 0:41make this mistake instead try to upload
- 0:43one to three shorts a day but don't pump
- 0:45out hundreds of them the chances of
- 0:47getting shadowbanned are real here and
- 0:49you don't want that another mistake you
- 0:51might be making not letting your channel
- 0:54warm up you just created a new account
- 0:56and then you start uploading tons and
- 0:57tons of shorts that get no views it
- 0:59doesn't doesn't work that way YouTube
- 1:01needs time to understand your content
- 1:02and audience for example accounts made
- 1:05back in 2022 tend to get better traction
- 1:07than accounts that were just created
- 1:08today why because they've been around
- 1:11they've built up some trust it's a good
- 1:12way to make sure YouTube doesn't think
- 1:14you're a bot just pumping out random
- 1:16content so if your account is new you
- 1:18should warm it up by posting a few viral
- 1:20shorts consistently over a few weeks
- 1:22building momentum and letting the
- 1:23algorithm pick up on your content all
- 1:25right mistake number three do you happen
- 1:27to add a bunch of hashtags then stop
- 1:29doing this already ready look hashtags
- 1:30are great as long as they're popular and
- 1:32relevant but overloading your shorts
- 1:34with them can actually do more harm than
- 1:36good here's what YouTube has to say
- 1:37about hashtags it clearly tells you to
- 1:39avoid over tagging because it can lead
- 1:41to your video being removed so if you've
- 1:43already made shorts make sure they're
- 1:44not overloaded with so many hashtags try
- 1:47to stick to a minimum number of hashtags
- 1:48where it's due one in the title and a
- 1:50few in the description section of
- 1:51YouTube and here's the thing YouTube's
- 1:53algorithm doesn't rely on hashtags
- 1:55anyway it can still push your shorts to
- 1:56the audience without them how by looking
- 1:58at your shorts title and description so
- 2:01your main focus should be on ensuring
- 2:02your title and description have the
- 2:04popular keywords that your audience
- 2:06might be interested in think about what
- 2:07people are searching for and weave those
- 2:09terms into your content hashtags can
- 2:11help but it's the title and the idea
- 2:13behind the video that will really get
- 2:14you the views mistake number four your
- 2:16video idea is just bad maybe you didn't
- 2:19realize it but you picked a topic that's
- 2:20no longer popular it's underperforming
- 2:23or it caters to a small audience here's
- 2:24how you can tell if your video idea
- 2:26falls into any of these categories do a
- 2:28quick search just type your video idea
- 2:30into the YouTube search bar if you see
- 2:32low performing shorts from other
- 2:34creators posted a month ago with zero or
- 2:36just a few views that's a sign it means
- 2:38that topic just isn't catching on it
- 2:40flopped because either the topic is old
- 2:42now or it doesn't appeal to a wide
- 2:43audience that YouTube can push to but
- 2:45hey don't go deleting these
- 2:47underperforming shorts just yet Trends
- 2:49change over time and you never know when
- 2:50a trend could pick up bringing your
- 2:52short back to life instead you should
- 2:54always always do your research start by
- 2:56watching the shorts of other creators in
- 2:58your Niche see which ones are are
- 3:00popular and more importantly recently
- 3:02posted take inspiration from that and
- 3:04tweak it to make it your own mistake
- 3:05number five you're not making longer
- 3:07shorts now hear me out this one might
- 3:09surprise you in my experience a lot of
- 3:11the shorts that go viral and gain
- 3:13thousands of views are longer than 30
- 3:14seconds but here's the catch it can't be
- 3:16boring you need to make it engaging
- 3:18hooking your audience till the very end
- 3:20or they're just going to swipe away
- 3:22again I'd say take inspiration from
- 3:24other shorts that are doing well in your
- 3:25Niche see how they keep the audience
- 3:27interested for those longer durations
- 3:29and you'll learn lot from that it's all
- 3:30about studying what works and making it
- 3:32your own on the flip side if your
- 3:34audience prefers shorter content then
- 3:36stick to it don't force a longer video
- 3:38if it doesn't fit the idea here is to
- 3:40experiment try different lengths Styles
- 3:42and formats to see what gets those views
- 3:44you'll never know what clicks until you
- 3:45give it a shot and finally mistake
- 3:47number six you're not being patient and
- 3:50consistent look I used to think that if
- 3:52my shorts kept flopping it was probably
- 3:53because YouTube didn't want me on its
- 3:55platform but I was wrong it's super
- 3:57common for new YouTubers to feel
- 3:58discouraged when their content doesn't
- 4:00blow up right away but that right there
- 4:02that's the big mistake instead of
- 4:03letting those low views discourage you
- 4:05don't give up keep creating keep posting
- 4:07and most importantly have patience Rome
- 4:09wasn't built in a day and neither is a
- 4:11successful YouTube channel it takes time
- 4:13for the algorithm to recognize your
- 4:14content for people to discover your
- 4:16shorts and for you to find your next
- 4:18viral idea I'm telling you it might feel
- 4:19like nothing's happening at first but
- 4:21keep nurturing your channel and one day
- 4:23you'll get there you'll start seeing
- 4:24those views the comments the growth
- 4:26you've been waiting for just be patient
- 4:28be consistent and trust the process
