0:00If you're uploading YouTube shorts, and
0:01they're constantly getting zero views,
0:03or they flatline immediately, then this
0:06video is for you. This has nothing to do
0:08with your hooks, editing, or niche. It's
0:11just a few things you need to fix on
0:12your channel. In this video, I'm going
0:14to break down what zero view jail
0:16actually is, why YouTube flags new
0:19accounts as spam, the mistakes that keep
0:21people stuck for weeks or months, and
0:23lastly, the exact process I use to age
0:27accounts fast and break past zero view
0:29jail. This is the same system I've used
0:31to get accounts monetized under 30 days,
0:34and the same process I run every student
0:36through inside my inner circle. If you
0:39follow this video properly, it will fix
0:41the zero view jail. But most people rush
0:43it, skip steps, or just guess. And
0:46that's why they stay stuck. So, watch
0:48this video all the way through, because
0:50skipping one step can set back
0:52monetization by months. First, let's
0:54talk about what zero view jail actually
0:57is. Zero view jail is when YouTube
1:00doesn't push out your shorts at all. So,
1:02for example, here's an account that I
1:03ran over a year ago, and I had no clue
1:06what I was doing. And I would just
1:07upload shorts hoping something would
1:10kick off, but nothing ended up being
1:11pushed. And what happens is zero view
1:13jail is when YouTube doesn't push your
1:15shorts to the shorts feed at all. This
1:18usually happens on brand new accounts,
1:20or accounts that haven't been used in a
1:22long time. The main reason YouTube
1:24doesn't push shorts, especially to new
1:26channels, is because YouTube flags the
1:27account under suspicious or spam. So,
1:30this is simplified, YouTube basically
1:32thinks you're a bot, and they won't push
1:35out your videos to anyone at all. And a
1:37lot of people find this super
1:38frustrating, and this is why a lot of
1:40beginners quit even before they get
1:42their first push in any of their shorts.
1:44And every day you stay stuck here,
1:46you're missing out on hundreds or even
1:48thousands of dollars you could be
1:49earning. People who started after you
1:52are already making money. Not because
1:54they're better at YouTube shorts, but
1:55because their account is trusted. This
1:57is the stage where people either fix it
1:59fast and start printing or waste months
2:02being stuck at zero view jail. What I
2:04actually help my students with is how to
2:06age your accounts extremely fast, so we
2:09can break past zero view jail as soon as
2:11possible because they know the faster
2:13they break past the ceiling, the faster
2:15they get monetized. Now, let's talk
2:17about why zero view jail actually
2:19happens. One of the main reasons it
2:21could be happening is like I said
2:23earlier, you have a brand new channel
2:25and you have no usage history. Like for
2:27example, this is a brand new account I
2:29just made. If I started posting on here,
2:31it's like 99% chance that all of my
2:33videos are going to get zero view jailed
2:35and I'm not going to get pushed. Also,
2:36another reason it could be getting view
2:38jailed is you just made a new Gmail
2:40account. So, what you can do to avoid
2:41this is create a new account on an old
2:44Gmail. And as you can see over here, I
2:46have a lot of shorts channels that are
2:48under the same Gmail. And if you're
2:49wondering how you make more channels
2:51under the same Gmail, let me show you.
2:53First, you're going to go to the account
2:54section and you're going to click view
2:56all channels. If you don't have this
2:57button, just go back to your actual
2:59settings, click on settings over here,
3:03and then click on add or manage
3:05channels. Then, you're going to be
3:06brought to this section over here. All
3:09you're going to need to do is create a
3:11new channel. And this will create a
3:12channel on your email that is already
3:14aged. Another reason you are getting
3:16zero view jailed is because you have no
3:18usage history on your account. Some
3:20people just make an account and they go
3:21straight to posting, but that's entirely
3:23wrong. You actually have to watch videos
3:25and act like a real human being. If you
3:27have no watch history or no likes or no
3:30subscribe to other accounts, then
3:32YouTube is literally going to think
3:33you're a bot. And the last reason why
3:35you could be getting zero view jailed is
3:36you post and you ghost. So, what is post
3:39and ghost? Post and ghosting is when you
3:42post a video and then you just get off
3:44the app, but that's not right. YouTube
3:45rewards the people who are actually
3:47actively using their app because they
3:49want people to be on their website and
3:52actually generating them income. The
3:55whole point of YouTube is to keep the
3:56viewer on their app so that they can be
3:59printing more and more money. So, after
4:01you post a video, you're going to still
4:03want to go, watch some YouTube shorts,
4:05like the videos, watch some random
4:07videos, and subscribe and comment to
4:08people. I know a lot of this sounds
4:10really dumb, but I tell this to people
4:12all the time. You actually need to use
4:14the account that you're posting on. If
4:15you're not watching any videos or
4:17engaging with any content, then your
4:19videos are going to get jailed. People
4:21are like, "Oh, I'm just going to watch
4:22for 10 minutes a day, and that's going
4:23to fix my issue." No, it's not. You're
4:25going to have to watch for hours a day
4:27for at least 3 to 4 days, and repeat
4:29this process a few times. And then
4:31you'll actually have a chance out of
4:32breaking out of zero view jail. Some
4:34mistakes people think that will actually
4:36break them out of zero view jail is
4:38re-uploading your content. Re-uploading
4:39your content that already got zero view
4:41jailed won't work. It's not the content
4:43that's the problem. It's your account,
4:45and you need to fix that first. Some
4:47people think, "Oh, if I took someone
4:49else's video that has millions of views
4:50and reposted it on my account, I'm
4:52actually going to get a couple thousand
4:53views." Because if their video was able
4:55to get a couple million views, why can't
4:57mine get a couple thousand? So, then
4:58they completely rip off that video, post
5:00it on their account, and boom, zero view
5:01jail again. Remember, there's no
5:03guaranteed method to breaking out of
5:05zero view jail. You actually have to use
5:07the app actively and act like a real
5:09human. Most people do the wrong thing
5:11that digs them an even deeper hole. They
5:14keep re-uploading, hoping YouTube will
5:16finally push the video, and you will
5:18break past this ceiling. But, that
5:20doesn't work. People come to me asking
5:22for guidance, and they have been blindly
5:24spending weeks doing this, which wastes
5:26time. You could have been stacking
5:27views, growing your audience, or
5:29generating income with these things. The
5:32first thing we're going to talk about
5:33out of the only real solutions is using
5:36an aged account. So, what is an aged
5:38account? So, an aged account is an
5:40account you made years ago or months,
5:42but you actually used. Because if you
5:44made an account years ago, but you
5:46didn't use it, this won't fix the issue.
5:48An aged account alone does not fix the
5:50issue. It actually has to have some past
5:53activity. So, for example, this channel
5:55right here used to upload
5:56geometry-videos. It had a few long-form
5:59videos, but I unlisted them. And if I
6:02posted a short on here, it would most
6:04likely not get zero view jailed. And
6:06like I said earlier, if you have an aged
6:08account, the account still has to have
6:10history, data, and engagement. Because
6:12if you try uploading on an aged account
6:14that has no history at all, you're going
6:16to have the same issue as if you created
6:19a new account and started posting. So,
6:21let's say you don't have an aged
6:22account, you're going to need to make a
6:23new one. What I would do to make a new
6:25one, I would only make a new one if your
6:27current channel is completely dead and
6:29is still getting zero views. And once
6:31you do make that new channel, do not
6:33start with spam uploading on it. That's
6:35just going to make things worse.
6:37Instead, you're going to want to warm up
6:39the account, and I'll show you every
6:40step you can do to effectively warm up
6:43your account. Because if you mess this
6:45step up, you don't just slow things
6:47down. You push monetization back 30 to
6:5090 days. Most people are actually doing
6:52a lot of things right. They're posting,
6:54they're testing, and they're staying
6:56consistent. But there's one hole in the
6:58system. So, all that effort and time
7:00they spend putting into their channel,
7:02it just leaks out. Nothing compounds,
7:04and they don't even realize why. What's
7:06wild is this is usually a simple fix.
7:08Fix it once, and this could be worth
7:10tens of thousands later on. I've done
7:13this myself. I used this exact process
7:15to fast-track an account and get it
7:17monetized in 30 days. And it's the same
7:19thing I run every student through inside
7:22the inner circle to get them monetized
7:23as fast as possible. So, okay, so now
7:26let me show you some steps that you can
7:27do today to warm up your YouTube
7:30account. And I'm going to be using
7:31account I just made just for the purpose
7:33of this video. So, first thing you're
7:34going to want to do is verify your
7:36account. Go to www.youtube.com/verify,
7:41okay? And once you're here, you're going
7:43to want to verify your channel with a
7:45number. And bonus points if you can do
7:47this with a US phone number. If you
7:49don't have access to a US phone number,
7:50that's completely fine. Just do it
7:52whatever phone number you have. But once
7:54you get this verified, this is going to
7:56be a lot easier for you to escape zero
7:58view jail. So after you verify your
8:00phone number, there's another
8:01verification you have to do to unlock
8:03the advanced features. And that is
8:04you're either going to have to send a
8:05video verification, a valid ID, or just
8:09build channel history over time. And
8:11trust me, verifying all of these will
8:13just make your entire experience of
8:15uploading YouTube shorts a lot smoother.
8:17So get this done first and clear your
8:19mind. The next step to aging your
8:21account is like I said earlier, don't
8:23post and ghost. YouTube favors accounts
8:25that actually use this app. So when you
8:27just make an account, you're going to
8:29want to do these steps. You're going to
8:30want to watch YouTube shorts and normal
8:33YouTube videos like 2 hours a day. I
8:35know it sounds absurd, but if you do
8:37this for like 3 days in a row, this is
8:39going to make you escape zero view jail
8:40extremely quickly. And by the way,
8:42you're also going to want to like,
8:44comment, and subscribe to creators just
8:46to not seem like a bot. And bonus points
8:49is you're going to want to like videos
8:50and subscribe to creators who are in the
8:53niche you are planning to upload in. So
8:55let's say I wanted to upload in the
8:57ranking niche. I'm going to like this
8:58guy's video, I'm going to subscribe to
9:00him, and I'm just going to comment
9:01something crazy like "Number two was so
9:06insane, all right?" Boom, comment this
9:09and then just keep scrolling and keep
9:11repeating the process. So you guys can
9:12see I'm already starting to get a lot of
9:14ranking videos in my For You page, which
9:16is awesome. So just act like a human,
9:18keep subscribing to these accounts who
9:20you are planning to be in the niche in,
9:21and just keep watching. Also, if you do
9:23find a video that's like a ranking
9:25video, don't just like and comment on
9:27it. You're also going to want to watch
9:29the whole video. All right, guys. So I
9:31only did this for about 10 minutes, and
9:32you can already see that most of my For
9:34You page is ranking videos, which is
9:37awesome. And you're going to want to do
9:38this for a few hours every day, like I
9:40said earlier. I know it sounds crazy,
9:43but if you want to get out of zero view
9:44jail, you're going to have to do this.
9:46And most people fail because they do
9:48this only for 5 or 10 minutes a day, and
9:50that's not enough. Or they just think it
9:52doesn't work, but that's not true. It
9:54works. You just need to do it for a few
9:55hours a day for two or three four days
9:58in a row, and boom, you'll be able to
10:00upload and you won't get in the zero
10:01view jail. You need real usage, not fake
10:04activity. So, actually watch the videos
10:06through, the ones that are in your
10:07niche, or just watch random videos as
10:10well. You can like also watch long-form
10:12videos, it doesn't matter. Just actually
10:14use the app. If YouTube doesn't see real
10:16behavior, it won't trust you. People
10:18make new spam accounts all the time, and
10:21people can't tell the difference between
10:23you and them. And no trust means no
10:25revenue. So, here's just a few extra
10:27things we do to help speed up the
10:29process. And all these things actually
10:31help out a lot more than other people
10:33say. The first thing is upload one
10:35long-form video with your face in it. I
10:38know, it sounds a little bit scary. Oh,
10:39I'm going to upload my face, a lot of
10:40people are going to see me, all my
10:41friends. But no, it doesn't even matter.
10:43The video's probably going to get like
10:4410 views. But what this does is makes
10:47YouTube think that you're not a bot, and
10:49you're actually a human being who's
10:50uploading long-form videos with your
10:52face in them. You can private it later,
10:54but keep it public for now.
10:55>> Then you can see here on this exact
10:57channel, Animal Moments, we posted a
10:59video with
11:00>> Here's a guy, I'm going to link his
11:01channel in the description. Full credit
11:03goes to him. But he does YouTube shorts
11:05channels, and he owns a lot of accounts,
11:06but he had a problem where he was
11:08getting like 30 views or 500 views, and
11:11that's not normal. Because usually
11:12you're supposed to get that 30K view
11:13push. But what he did is he uploaded a
11:16long-form video, and boom, his video
11:19started getting over 10,000 views
11:21consistently.
11:22>> 14th. Then you can see here on this
11:24exact channel, Animal Moments, we posted
11:26a video with my face in it. I just did
11:28some random nonsense video of me ranking
11:30the most and least alpha animals. And
11:32you can see this was posted on January
11:3415th, and since then on this channel
11:36we've never had a single video drop
11:39under 1,000 views. You can see all the
11:41videos after this date, we never had any
11:43problem with a view glitch after that
11:45point.
11:45>> So yeah, he said it, not even me. If you
11:47post a long form video with your face,
11:49it could be anything related to your
11:50niche, and like just it has to be like
11:53an actual normal video, YouTube is going
11:55to see you as a human being. And after
11:57you actually do that, you're basically
11:59not even going to get zero view jailed
12:00anymore, and you're going to start
12:02consistently getting thousands of views
12:04on your shorts just from that one small
12:06fix. Let me show you guys another trick.
12:08So here's an account that was getting
12:10zero view jailed. I deleted all the
12:12videos that were getting zero view
12:14jailed, but what I did is really simple
12:16to warm it up. So after you make a long
12:18form video with your face in it, you can
12:20start testing by posting random YouTube
12:23shorts that you just record on your
12:25shorts camera and posting it on YouTube
12:28shorts app. And when I did this, these
12:30type of random videos got a couple
12:32thousand views. Like I literally just
12:34uploaded a random video where I'm
12:36walking around my neighborhood with some
12:37caption on it from my phone. Make sure
12:40you do it from your phone using the
12:42actual camera. You record it from here
12:44and you post it, and this will actually
12:46get pushed because it's like you're
12:48using their app and it's giving activity
12:49and usage on their app. So for now,
12:52restrain from posting on your computer.
12:54Try doing it from your phone. Trust me,
12:56this works. It usually does not get zero
12:58view jailed. All of these steps that I
12:59showed, uploading a long form video or
13:01uploading from your phone, make you look
13:03like a real human user. People skip the
13:05long form video part because it makes
13:07them feel uncomfortable, and they're not
13:09comfortable showing their face online.
13:11Then they sit there confused when other
13:13channels blow past them and make more
13:15money faster. They assume it's the
13:17content. So they tweak hooks, edit
13:19styles, posting times, and wondering why
13:22they are still stuck at zero view jail.
13:24Copying other viral formats hoping
13:26something will work. But most of the
13:28time the content isn't broken, the trust
13:30is. The channel foundation is broken.
13:33Until that's fixed, every upload is
13:35capped by YouTube. This is where doing
13:37it yourself quietly hurts. You're
13:40guessing what to post, when to post it,
13:42guessing when something should be
13:43unlisted or left alone, guessing when to
13:46take things down and when to start
13:48posting real YouTube shorts. Each wrong
13:50call doesn't look dramatic, but stack
13:52enough of them and you've burned weeks
13:55or months of monetization opportunity
13:57without realizing it. So follow this
13:59process and it will definitely help you
14:01get past zero view jail a lot quicker.
14:04What I normally do with students is
14:06remove that guessing entirely. I give
14:08them the exact videos to post, tell them
14:11when to post, when to pull something
14:13down and how to move through this phase
14:15as fast as possible. I've laid out the
14:17basics here in this video so that you
14:19can do it on your own. Just make sure to
14:21remove trial and error because that
14:23costs time, momentum and usually the
14:26window where growth and monetization
14:28happen the fastest. So when you start
14:30posting shorts again after you age your
14:32account, here are a few things that
14:33might happen but are completely normal.
14:35Your first video might flop, but that's
14:37normal. It's usually going to get a
14:39thousand through thirty thousand views,
14:41but that's completely fine. You might
14:42get stuck in the thirty thousand view
14:44jail, but that's totally normal. Don't
14:46spam upload to get out of the thirty
14:48thousand view jail. That's just going to
14:49make it worse. That's going to bring you
14:51back to the zero view jail. In the
14:53settings, use hashtag shorts. Don't spam
14:56tags. A lot of people think SEO and tags
14:58and everything boosting the shorts is
15:00really good, but in reality, you don't
15:02need to do that. Just put hashtag shorts
15:05in your description. Also, make sure you
15:07select not made for kids and don't
15:09schedule your shorts early on. When
15:11you're just starting uploading, just
15:13post them right away when you're
15:14finished editing them. If a YouTube
15:16short truly gets zero views, don't
15:19upload for two to three whole days. This
15:22usually fix the issue, then you'll be
15:24able to upload again and it won't get
15:26zero view jailed. Also, when you keep
15:28uploading and you're consistently
15:30getting good views like 30,000 view jail
15:32or sometimes even a viral video, but
15:34then you randomly get a video that's
15:36zero view jailed, usually you want to
15:38delete that video and run it through a
15:40metadata remover. Here's one that I use,
15:43it's called
15:44metadatatogo.com/deletemetadata.
15:48And if you go here, you'll be able to
15:50run that same file that got zero view
15:52jailed, run it through here, and then
15:54you'll be able to re-upload it without
15:56flagging YouTube as spam. Because if you
15:58re-upload videos normally, YouTube will
15:59be like, "Oh, he's re-uploading the same
16:01videos over and over, that's spam
16:02content. We're going to get him
16:03demonetized." But if you run it through
16:05a metadata remover first, then re-upload
16:07it, it's actually not going to flag
16:09YouTube and you'll be able to get away
16:10with this. It's actually not going to
16:12flag YouTube and this is a safe way to
16:14re-upload content safely. Just make sure
16:16to not abuse this and not to use this on
16:17videos that don't get zero view jailed.
16:19Just do it on the ones that get zero
16:21view jailed, delete them, then run them
16:23through this metadata remover, then
16:25re-upload it. If it still doesn't work,
16:27remember, take a short break, keep using
16:29their app, and try to re-upload a few
16:31days later. This is where most people
16:33quit and move on to a new channel or a
16:35new niche. Not because shorts don't
16:37work, but because they don't know what
16:39the signals mean and how to read the
16:41back end of YouTube. Here's the final
16:43reality check. Views coming in waves is
16:46normal. Sometimes the video starts off
16:48like this, then it gets a huge spike to
16:4930,000 views, and then it flatlines.
16:51That's completely normal. Everyone goes
16:53through that. Hitting 30,000 view jail
16:55is actually a good sign. It means that
16:57your videos have potential and you're
16:59close to breaking out. You can see, a
17:01lot of my videos actually do get 30,000
17:04view jailed, but the ones with the
17:05highest potential actually end up
17:07getting pushed. The more times YouTube
17:09tests you in 30,000 view jail, the
17:11closer you are to breaking out. So if
17:13you're in 30,000 view jail currently,
17:15don't be discouraged. That means you're
17:16actually really close to going viral.
17:18Just keep uploading and staying
17:20consistent. So, this last part is only
17:22for people who are actually serious
17:24about making money with YouTube Shorts
17:26this year. My channels keep making me
17:28money every month for one simple reason.
17:31The number of people watching YouTube
17:32Shorts keeps increasing. Screen time
17:35only goes up, and it's not slowing down,
17:38not now, or not anytime soon. So, the
17:40real advantage here is speed. If you
17:43want to keep doing this solo, everything
17:45you need to start is already in this
17:47video. But, understand, this is the
17:49phase where people lose the most time
17:51and the most money. The key with YouTube
17:53Shorts is getting your channel past zero
17:55view jail and 30,000 view jail as fast
17:58as possible, so monetization can
18:00actually start compounding. Because once
18:02you break through that, 2 through 3
18:04months from now is when people actually
18:06start stacking thousands per week. Most
18:08people don't lose because Shorts don't
18:10work. They lose because they're guessing
18:12signals that they don't understand, and
18:14they're guessing the back-end rules of
18:15how YouTube actually works. So, they
18:18hesitate. They test blindly. They
18:20re-upload. And while they are stuck,
18:22other channels pass them and start
18:24compounding with views and start earning
18:26real income instead. Inside the inner
18:28circle, I remove the guessing
18:30completely. I show you the exact same
18:32strategy I used to get my own account
18:35past zero view jail and monetize it
18:37within its first 30 days. At this stage,
18:39you're not wondering what to post, when
18:41to post, or whether something is hurting
18:43your channel. You're following a process
18:45that gets accounts trusted and monetized
18:47as fast as possible. And once we're past
18:50that first stage, this is something I
18:51usually don't talk about publicly
18:53because it's only for people who are
18:54actually serious and usually have
18:56already booked a call to join the inner
18:58circle. The same editors who run one of
19:01my full channels, generating multiple
19:03four figures a month, edit your first
19:05five real YouTube Shorts completely free
19:08in the niche we choose together. We post
19:10them to your channel, then replicate
19:12what works to get you monetized as fast
19:15as possible. The point is simple. Every
19:16extra week you stay stuck here isn't
19:19neutral. It's time and money you could
19:21have been compounding instead. So, if
19:22you're serious about breaking out and
19:24not wasting another 30 to 90 days
19:27testing blindly while not monetized, the
19:29Inner Circle is the next step. There's a
19:31link below if you want to check it out.
19:33And by the way, if you haven't seen this
19:34already, I have an 80-minute full course
19:37video here on YouTube for absolutely
19:39free explaining how to start a YouTube
19:40channel start from finish. So, if you
19:42haven't already, make sure to check it
19:44out and peace out.
