  1. 0:00Your long-form YouTube video is shot.
  2. 0:02Editing is done too. Now it's time for
  3. 0:05uploading. But when the video is
  4. 0:07actually published, you get zero,
  5. 0:09absolutely zero views. I know this
  6. 0:11feels very demotivating. I have
  7. 0:14experienced all these things too. I
  8. 0:15made some changes and the views started
  9. 0:18coming in. Recently, two of my videos
  10. 0:21crossed over 100,000 views. And one
  11. 0:24video even got over 400,000 views. In
  12. 0:27this video, I will tell you five
  13. 0:29strategies you need to follow after
  14. 0:32uploading. Many people work hard before
  15. 0:35uploading, but don't even look at the
  16. 0:37video after uploading. But trust me,
  17. 0:40this video is going to be very
  18. 0:41important. Sit with a notebook and pen
  19. 0:44and note everything down carefully. Not
  20. 0:48all content creators will tell you this
  21. 0:51. That's why don't forget to watch the
  22. 0:53video until the end. Let's start the
  23. 0:55video. Point number one: you have shot
  24. 1:03the video. Editing is also done. Now
  25. 1:05it's time for uploading. What will you
  26. 1:07do at that time? You'll publish it
  27. 1:09directly. This is the biggest mistake
  28. 1:12every content creator makes. You must
  29. 1:14keep your video unlisted. This means
  30. 1:17you should schedule the video. At least
  31. 1:19for 24 hours. Keep the thumbnail, title
  32. 1:22, and everything edited. Write the
  33. 1:24description well too. But don't publish
  34. 1:27it directly. Schedule it for the next
  35. 1:29day. Do you know what happens because
  36. 1:30of this? YouTube gets time to set its
  37. 1:33algorithm. Your video gets processed in
  38. 1:364K. Which makes your video quality even
  39. 1:39better. Point number two: the video is
  40. 1:41uploaded. After that, comment on your
  41. 1:44own video. Many people think that
  42. 1:46someone else will comment first, and
  43. 1:48then I will reply to them. But no, you
  44. 1:52have to start the conversation with
  45. 1:54your audience. Ask any question, listen
  46. 1:59to me carefully. Just post one or two
  47. 2:03comments. Your comment must go out at
  48. 2:05the time of video uploading. Give
  49. 2:08people something to talk about, or a
  50. 2:11topic so they start replying. Do you
  51. 2:14know what that will do? When your
  52. 2:16viewers see it and see one or two
  53. 2:18comments, they will start commenting
  54. 2:20themselves. But on the contrary, if
  55. 2:24there are no comments, zero comments,
  56. 2:26your viewers or audience won't comment
  57. 2:29initially, or it will definitely help
  58. 2:31you a little in increasing your reach.
  59. 2:34The most important thing, highlight
  60. 2:37this. Pin the comment that you find
  61. 2:41good or the one you personally like.
  62. 2:45Then see how many more likes and
  63. 2:48replies it gets. This works, yes,
  64. 2:51definitely try it once. Point number
  65. 2:54three: search for your YT video title
  66. 2:56on YouTube. Search for the topic you
  67. 3:00made a video on YouTube. See how many
  68. 3:03other people have made similar videos.
  69. 3:05Compare yourself with them. Your video
  70. 3:08thumbnail, their video thumbnail, your
  71. 3:10title, their title. Your title and
  72. 3:13thumbnail should be at least 5%better
  73. 3:16than theirs. Only then will you get
  74. 3:19higher tap rates. This helps you to
  75. 3:21grow your algorithm. And yes, I am not
  76. 3:24saying you should compare yourself. But
  77. 3:27good comparison. Do you know what will
  78. 3:29happen because of that? You will keep
  79. 3:31getting better. When you watch a viral
  80. 3:34video, it will have more views, good
  81. 3:35thumbnails, and good titles. From that,
  82. 3:39you will start writing your own titles
  83. 3:41and thumbnails better. Which will start
  84. 3:44benefiting you in your next videos as
  85. 3:46well. Now I am going to tell you a very
  86. 3:48important point. Listen to this
  87. 3:50carefully. Many times we upload a video
  88. 3:52and it doesn't get views. Or the video
  89. 3:55doesn't go viral. It doesn't even get
  90. 3:58half the views that our old videos get.
  91. 4:01So do you know what you have to do? It
  92. 4:02is a very simple thing. Go directly to
  93. 4:05YT Studio and change your thumbnail and
  94. 4:08title. Use AB testing. Or try uploading
  95. 4:12different thumbnails to see. Who knows,
  96. 4:14it might work. The more you help the
  97. 4:17YouTube algorithm, the more your videos
  98. 4:19will go viral. Look at trending
  99. 4:21thumbnails, look at trending titles.
  100. 4:24Try using them and then watch your
  101. 4:26videos start getting views. How does
  102. 4:29your algorithm perform in the 24 hours
  103. 4:33after uploading? Or how well you
  104. 4:36maintain your description, comment
  105. 4:39section, replying to people, or using a
  106. 4:42good thumbnail and title matters a lot.
  107. 4:47That is why you need to stay active on
  108. 4:50YouTube for the 24 hours after
  109. 4:52uploading the video. How is the video
  110. 4:55receiving a response? What are the
  111. 4:56questions people have? What are people
  112. 4:58not liking in the video? Do people like
  113. 5:01the thumbnail or not? It is very
  114. 5:03important to keep all these things in
  115. 5:05mind. The effort we put into shooting,
  116. 5:08editing, and uploading the video. We
  117. 5:11need to put in more effort than that
  118. 5:14after uploading. When you are telling
  119. 5:17your audience something through a video
  120. 5:19, it is obvious that they will comment.
  121. 5:22And they also expect to get replies to
  122. 5:25their comments within 24 hours. That is
  123. 5:28why you must pay attention to all these
  124. 5:30things. Now let's talk about the last
  125. 5:32point, which is very important. I have
  126. 5:35specifically kept this for the end
  127. 5:37because 99%of content creators make
  128. 5:39this mistake. And you do not want to be
  129. 5:42one of them. You shoot a video, upload
  130. 5:45it, and send the link to your family
  131. 5:48and friends. Everyone does this. You
  132. 5:52also feel that you should get some
  133. 5:53quick views at the start. Otherwise,
  134. 5:55you post it on your story or put it on
  135. 5:58your WhatsApp status. Do you know what
  136. 6:00happens because of that? Your family
  137. 6:02members and friends love you a lot.
  138. 6:04That is why they quickly tap on the
  139. 6:07link. They watch your video. They
  140. 6:09comment. "Son, this is a very good
  141. 6:11video." They even like it. And many
  142. 6:13times they share it in other family
  143. 6:15groups too. Do you think they will
  144. 6:17watch your entire 15-minute video? Will
  145. 6:20they watch 10 minutes? Yes, they will
  146. 6:22definitely show you support. Many
  147. 6:24people will even watch it. But if they
  148. 6:28don't consume content related to your
  149. 6:30niche, do you think they will watch it?
  150. 6:33Absolutely not. And do you know what
  151. 6:35happens? You get their comments, you
  152. 6:38get likes, and sometimes the video is
  153. 6:41shared, but it sends a different signal
  154. 6:44to YouTube. It sends a negative signal
  155. 6:46to YouTube. Which shows that your
  156. 6:49video's retention is not good. People
  157. 6:53don't watch the video for more than 3
  158. 6:54minutes. Sometimes not even for more
  159. 6:56than 2 minutes. What happens because of
  160. 6:58this? YouTube feels that this video is
  161. 7:01not good. People don't seem to like
  162. 7:03this video at all. Therefore, let your
  163. 7:06video go into the feeds of people who
  164. 7:08actually consume content about that
  165. 7:10niche. Yes, you can send it to your
  166. 7:13friends and family. But send it two or
  167. 7:16three days after posting the video. Do
  168. 7:18you know what will happen because of
  169. 7:19that? You will get views. First, the
  170. 7:21algorithm will get set. Your video will
  171. 7:23go into the feeds of the right people.
  172. 7:25And then, whether people watch it for 3
  173. 7:27minutes or 10 minutes, it won't make
  174. 7:29that much of a difference if a couple
  175. 7:31of people do that. But if such an
  176. 7:33algorithm gets set in the starting 24
  177. 7:36hours itself, then of course YouTube
  178. 7:38will also think that this video is not
  179. 7:41worth it. In this video, I have tried
  180. 7:43to cover every single thing. Use these
  181. 7:47five strategies after uploading. Keep
  182. 7:50up your hard work and stay active even
  183. 7:52after uploading the video. If you liked
  184. 7:55the video, let me know in the comments.
  185. 7:57If you have any questions, be sure to
  186. 8:00ask in the comments. And yes, if you
  187. 8:02still feel like you're doing all this
  188. 8:04but aren't getting views, then
  189. 8:06definitely join my one-on-one session.

  191. 8:12at everything in your account. See you
