If Your Shorts STOP Getting Views ( Watch This ) — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Do your Shorts also get good views in
- 0:01the beginning? But after a while, the
- 0:03views just get stuck. In the first few
- 0:05hours, the graph goes up so fast that
- 0:07you start feeling like this Short is
- 0:08definitely going to go viral. But as
- 0:10soon as the Short crosses 1K views, the
- 0:12graph starts to plateau slowly.
- 0:14Sometimes it gets stuck at 1.2 K,
- 0:15sometimes 1.5 K, and sometimes at just
- 0:172K views. If this happens to you too,
- 0:19then believe me, this video is made
- 0:21just for you. Because I have analyzed
- 0:23this problem in the channels of more
- 0:24than 50 of my subscribers. And as you
- 0:26can see, we have successfully solved
- 0:28this problem for many of these channels
- 0:30. But fixing this problem on every
- 0:32single subscriber's channel was very
- 0:34time-consuming. That is why, in today's
- 0:36video, I will tell you the exact three
- 0:37things you need to check and fix in
- 0:39your Shorts analytics. Just don't miss
- 0:41even one of them. Because perhaps the
- 0:42solution to your channel's problem is
- 0:44hidden in one of these points, and you
- 0:45might miss that very point. So let's
- 0:47start. But before that, if you want me
- 0:49to analyze your channel next, then like
- 0:51the video, subscribe to the channel,
- 0:52and leave a sweet comment. Maybe the
- 0:54next analysis will be of your channel.
- 0:59Okay. So the first thing you need to
- 1:01check in your Shorts analytics is "How
- 1:02many chose to view". Now, unlike other
- 1:05creators, I won't tell you that if your
- 1:07swipe-away ratio is high, you need to
- 1:08make your hook stronger. No, because a
- 1:11high swipe-away rate doesn't always
- 1:13mean your hook is bad. Another
- 1:15important reason for this could be that
- 1:16YouTube hasn't been able to reach the
- 1:18right audience for your Short yet. Just
- 1:20think for yourself, if your Short is in
- 1:22the gaming category and YouTube
- 1:23recommends it to a viewer who has never
- 1:26played a game and has no interest in
- 1:27gaming videos, then no matter how
- 1:29strong your Short's hook is. That
- 1:31viewer is going to scroll instead of
- 1:33watching your Short. Because the
- 1:34problem isn't in your Short's hook, but
- 1:36in that viewer's interest. They simply
- 1:38don't like gaming videos. And this has
- 1:40a direct impact on this stat. It tells
- 1:41you that fewer people watch your Short
- 1:44and more people skip it. Which causes
- 1:46the views to get stuck. Therefore, it
- 1:47is very important to reach the correct
- 1:49audience for a Short. But now the
- 1:51question is, how will YouTube know
- 1:52which audience your Short is for? And
- 1:55how can you help YouTube reach the
- 1:56right audience for your Short? To know
- 1:58the answer to this, we need to
- 2:00understand YouTube's recommendation
- 2:01system a little. Look, the YouTube
- 2:03recommendation system works on the
- 2:04basis that it understands the viewer
- 2:06first. YouTube understands what type of
- 2:09content a viewer likes through their
- 2:10watch history, search history, likes,
- 2:12subscriptions, and interests. For
- 2:14example, one viewer watches YouTube
- 2:15growth charts every day. The second one
- 2:17watches Free Fire gameplay. The third
- 2:19one watches comedy content. So, YouTube
- 2:20will not recommend the same Short to
- 2:22all three of them. Recommendations are
- 2:23personalized according to each viewer's
- 2:25interest. But now you might be thinking
- 2:27that if YouTube knows so much about
- 2:29what type of content a viewer likes and
- 2:31what videos it should recommend more.
- 2:33Then why doesn't it find the right
- 2:35audience for our Shorts? Well, for this
- 2:37, you need to check this second point
- 2:39on your channel, and you need to
- 2:41observe by going to your channel
- 2:43whether all the Shorts you have
- 2:44uploaded so far are consistently
- 2:46targeting the same type of audience or
- 2:48not. Now, some of you might say that we
- 2:51have already selected a niche for our
- 2:53channel. If we are in the gaming niche,
- 2:55then obviously all our videos will be
- 2:57for the gaming audience. Exactly, if
- 2:58you also say the same, then listen. I
- 3:00am not just talking about the niche
- 3:01here. I am talking about your sub-niche
- 3:03. Because you will find multiple
- 3:05sub-niches in every niche. For example,
- 3:07this is the Free Fire gaming sub-niche.
- 3:08But even in this sub-niche, you will
- 3:10find multiple sub-niches. Like funny
- 3:12Free Fire moments, Free Fire tips and
- 3:14tricks, ranked gameplay, challenges and
- 3:16experiments, Free Fire updates, etc. If
- 3:18you uploaded funny Free Fire moments
- 3:19today, tips and tricks tomorrow, and a
- 3:21Free Fire challenge video the next day,
- 3:23then your viewers will also be
- 3:25different because some people came for
- 3:27entertainment and some to improve their
- 3:29game. Now think for yourself, will the
- 3:31viewer who came after watching your
- 3:33funny moments video watch your tips and
- 3:34tricks video? Of course not, because
- 3:36they only want entertainment, right?
- 3:38Therefore, if you haven't targeted an
- 3:40exact niche yet, it can be difficult
- 3:42for YouTube to identify your ideal
- 3:44viewer. That is why your shorts aren't
- 3:46reaching the right audience. But let's
- 3:48assume your shorts are getting the
- 3:49right audience. Your content is
- 3:51targeting just one sub-niche. Yet, the
- 3:53views still stop after 1K or 2K. This
- 3:56is where the last and most important
- 3:58point comes in: if I told you that
- 4:00people aren't watching your shorts
- 4:02because of a specific mistake, would
- 4:04you repeat that mistake in your next
- 4:06short? No, right? That's why YouTube
- 4:09provided you with this graph; note the
- 4:11points in every short. That cause
- 4:12people to leave your short and scroll
- 4:14away. Now, what you need to do is look
- 4:16at the point where the graph drops. See
- 4:18what reason the viewer had at that
- 4:19moment that made them scroll past your
- 4:21short. Did you take too long to get to
- 4:24the main point, or did the video
- 4:25suddenly feel boring or slow? You will
- 4:28find many such reasons there. So, do
- 4:29not repeat these mistakes next time.
- 4:32But another important thing you need to
- 4:33understand is that you shouldn't draw
- 4:35conclusions from just one short's graph
- 4:37. Compare the retention graphs of your
- 4:39last 15 shorts. And see if a pattern is
- 4:41appearing repeatedly in these graphs or
- 4:43not. If viewers are leaving at a
- 4:45similar point in multiple shorts, then
- 4:46understand that this isn't just an
- 4:48issue with one short. This is an area
- 4:49for improvement in your content format.
- 4:51And when you identify that problem and
- 4:53fix it in your next short, check the
- 4:54analytics again. If retention improves
- 4:57and viewers stay for longer. And the
- 4:59other signals also perform better. Then
- 5:01you will start to realize what actually
- 5:03hooks your audience. So, next time,
- 5:05note these points in your shorts and
- 5:07keep improving. Okay. So, if you are
- 5:09watching the video until this point, I
- 5:10want to give you a special gift. I want
- 5:12to do a channel giveaway for you. I
- 5:14know that very few people will be
- 5:15watching the video up to this point.
- 5:17That is why you will easily win the
- 5:18giveaway. Simply go to the description
- 5:20of this video, where the channel link
- 5:21is provided. Subscribe to it and
- 5:23comment the name of that channel here.
- 5:25Okay, see you in the next video. Until
- 5:26then, bye.
