5 THINGS You MUST DO After Uploading a YouTube Video ๐ โ Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Your long-form YouTube video is shot.
- 0:02Editing is done too. Now it's time for
- 0:05uploading. But when the video is
- 0:07actually published, you get zero,
- 0:09absolutely zero views. I know this
- 0:11feels very demotivating. I have
- 0:14experienced all these things too. I
- 0:15made some changes and the views started
- 0:18coming in. Recently, two of my videos
- 0:21crossed over 100,000 views. And one
- 0:24video even got over 400,000 views. In
- 0:27this video, I will tell you five
- 0:29strategies you need to follow after
- 0:32uploading. Many people work hard before
- 0:35uploading, but don't even look at the
- 0:37video after uploading. But trust me,
- 0:40this video is going to be very
- 0:41important. Sit with a notebook and pen
- 0:44and note everything down carefully. Not
- 0:48all content creators will tell you this
- 0:51. That's why don't forget to watch the
- 0:53video until the end. Let's start the
- 0:55video. Point number one: you have shot
- 1:03the video. Editing is also done. Now
- 1:05it's time for uploading. What will you
- 1:07do at that time? You'll publish it
- 1:09directly. This is the biggest mistake
- 1:12every content creator makes. You must
- 1:14keep your video unlisted. This means
- 1:17you should schedule the video. At least
- 1:19for 24 hours. Keep the thumbnail, title
- 1:22, and everything edited. Write the
- 1:24description well too. But don't publish
- 1:27it directly. Schedule it for the next
- 1:29day. Do you know what happens because
- 1:30of this? YouTube gets time to set its
- 1:33algorithm. Your video gets processed in
- 1:364K. Which makes your video quality even
- 1:39better. Point number two: the video is
- 1:41uploaded. After that, comment on your
- 1:44own video. Many people think that
- 1:46someone else will comment first, and
- 1:48then I will reply to them. But no, you
- 1:52have to start the conversation with
- 1:54your audience. Ask any question, listen
- 1:59to me carefully. Just post one or two
- 2:03comments. Your comment must go out at
- 2:05the time of video uploading. Give
- 2:08people something to talk about, or a
- 2:11topic so they start replying. Do you
- 2:14know what that will do? When your
- 2:16viewers see it and see one or two
- 2:18comments, they will start commenting
- 2:20themselves. But on the contrary, if
- 2:24there are no comments, zero comments,
- 2:26your viewers or audience won't comment
- 2:29initially, or it will definitely help
- 2:31you a little in increasing your reach.
- 2:34The most important thing, highlight
- 2:37this. Pin the comment that you find
- 2:41good or the one you personally like.
- 2:45Then see how many more likes and
- 2:48replies it gets. This works, yes,
- 2:51definitely try it once. Point number
- 2:54three: search for your YT video title
- 2:56on YouTube. Search for the topic you
- 3:00made a video on YouTube. See how many
- 3:03other people have made similar videos.
- 3:05Compare yourself with them. Your video
- 3:08thumbnail, their video thumbnail, your
- 3:10title, their title. Your title and
- 3:13thumbnail should be at least 5%better
- 3:16than theirs. Only then will you get
- 3:19higher tap rates. This helps you to
- 3:21grow your algorithm. And yes, I am not
- 3:24saying you should compare yourself. But
- 3:27good comparison. Do you know what will
- 3:29happen because of that? You will keep
- 3:31getting better. When you watch a viral
- 3:34video, it will have more views, good
- 3:35thumbnails, and good titles. From that,
- 3:39you will start writing your own titles
- 3:41and thumbnails better. Which will start
- 3:44benefiting you in your next videos as
- 3:46well. Now I am going to tell you a very
- 3:48important point. Listen to this
- 3:50carefully. Many times we upload a video
- 3:52and it doesn't get views. Or the video
- 3:55doesn't go viral. It doesn't even get
- 3:58half the views that our old videos get.
- 4:01So do you know what you have to do? It
- 4:02is a very simple thing. Go directly to
- 4:05YT Studio and change your thumbnail and
- 4:08title. Use AB testing. Or try uploading
- 4:12different thumbnails to see. Who knows,
- 4:14it might work. The more you help the
- 4:17YouTube algorithm, the more your videos
- 4:19will go viral. Look at trending
- 4:21thumbnails, look at trending titles.
- 4:24Try using them and then watch your
- 4:26videos start getting views. How does
- 4:29your algorithm perform in the 24 hours
- 4:33after uploading? Or how well you
- 4:36maintain your description, comment
- 4:39section, replying to people, or using a
- 4:42good thumbnail and title matters a lot.
- 4:47That is why you need to stay active on
- 4:50YouTube for the 24 hours after
- 4:52uploading the video. How is the video
- 4:55receiving a response? What are the
- 4:56questions people have? What are people
- 4:58not liking in the video? Do people like
- 5:01the thumbnail or not? It is very
- 5:03important to keep all these things in
- 5:05mind. The effort we put into shooting,
- 5:08editing, and uploading the video. We
- 5:11need to put in more effort than that
- 5:14after uploading. When you are telling
- 5:17your audience something through a video
- 5:19, it is obvious that they will comment.
- 5:22And they also expect to get replies to
- 5:25their comments within 24 hours. That is
- 5:28why you must pay attention to all these
- 5:30things. Now let's talk about the last
- 5:32point, which is very important. I have
- 5:35specifically kept this for the end
- 5:37because 99%of content creators make
- 5:39this mistake. And you do not want to be
- 5:42one of them. You shoot a video, upload
- 5:45it, and send the link to your family
- 5:48and friends. Everyone does this. You
- 5:52also feel that you should get some
- 5:53quick views at the start. Otherwise,
- 5:55you post it on your story or put it on
- 5:58your WhatsApp status. Do you know what
- 6:00happens because of that? Your family
- 6:02members and friends love you a lot.
- 6:04That is why they quickly tap on the
- 6:07link. They watch your video. They
- 6:09comment. "Son, this is a very good
- 6:11video." They even like it. And many
- 6:13times they share it in other family
- 6:15groups too. Do you think they will
- 6:17watch your entire 15-minute video? Will
- 6:20they watch 10 minutes? Yes, they will
- 6:22definitely show you support. Many
- 6:24people will even watch it. But if they
- 6:28don't consume content related to your
- 6:30niche, do you think they will watch it?
- 6:33Absolutely not. And do you know what
- 6:35happens? You get their comments, you
- 6:38get likes, and sometimes the video is
- 6:41shared, but it sends a different signal
- 6:44to YouTube. It sends a negative signal
- 6:46to YouTube. Which shows that your
- 6:49video's retention is not good. People
- 6:53don't watch the video for more than 3
- 6:54minutes. Sometimes not even for more
- 6:56than 2 minutes. What happens because of
- 6:58this? YouTube feels that this video is
- 7:01not good. People don't seem to like
- 7:03this video at all. Therefore, let your
- 7:06video go into the feeds of people who
- 7:08actually consume content about that
- 7:10niche. Yes, you can send it to your
- 7:13friends and family. But send it two or
- 7:16three days after posting the video. Do
- 7:18you know what will happen because of
- 7:19that? You will get views. First, the
- 7:21algorithm will get set. Your video will
- 7:23go into the feeds of the right people.
- 7:25And then, whether people watch it for 3
- 7:27minutes or 10 minutes, it won't make
- 7:29that much of a difference if a couple
- 7:31of people do that. But if such an
- 7:33algorithm gets set in the starting 24
- 7:36hours itself, then of course YouTube
- 7:38will also think that this video is not
- 7:41worth it. In this video, I have tried
- 7:43to cover every single thing. Use these
- 7:47five strategies after uploading. Keep
- 7:50up your hard work and stay active even
- 7:52after uploading the video. If you liked
- 7:55the video, let me know in the comments.
- 7:57If you have any questions, be sure to
- 8:00ask in the comments. And yes, if you
- 8:02still feel like you're doing all this
- 8:04but aren't getting views, then
- 8:06definitely join my one-on-one session.

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