  1. 0:00Do your Shorts also get good views in
  2. 0:01the beginning? But after a while, the
  3. 0:03views just get stuck. In the first few
  4. 0:05hours, the graph goes up so fast that
  5. 0:07you start feeling like this Short is
  6. 0:08definitely going to go viral. But as
  7. 0:10soon as the Short crosses 1K views, the
  8. 0:12graph starts to plateau slowly.
  9. 0:14Sometimes it gets stuck at 1.2 K,
  10. 0:15sometimes 1.5 K, and sometimes at just
  11. 0:172K views. If this happens to you too,
  12. 0:19then believe me, this video is made
  13. 0:21just for you. Because I have analyzed
  14. 0:23this problem in the channels of more
  15. 0:24than 50 of my subscribers. And as you
  16. 0:26can see, we have successfully solved
  17. 0:28this problem for many of these channels
  18. 0:30. But fixing this problem on every
  19. 0:32single subscriber's channel was very
  20. 0:34time-consuming. That is why, in today's
  21. 0:36video, I will tell you the exact three
  22. 0:37things you need to check and fix in
  23. 0:39your Shorts analytics. Just don't miss
  24. 0:41even one of them. Because perhaps the
  25. 0:42solution to your channel's problem is
  26. 0:44hidden in one of these points, and you
  27. 0:45might miss that very point. So let's
  28. 0:47start. But before that, if you want me
  29. 0:49to analyze your channel next, then like
  30. 0:51the video, subscribe to the channel,
  31. 0:52and leave a sweet comment. Maybe the
  32. 0:54next analysis will be of your channel.
  33. 0:59Okay. So the first thing you need to
  34. 1:01check in your Shorts analytics is "How
  35. 1:02many chose to view". Now, unlike other
  36. 1:05creators, I won't tell you that if your
  37. 1:07swipe-away ratio is high, you need to
  38. 1:08make your hook stronger. No, because a
  39. 1:11high swipe-away rate doesn't always
  40. 1:13mean your hook is bad. Another
  41. 1:15important reason for this could be that
  42. 1:16YouTube hasn't been able to reach the
  43. 1:18right audience for your Short yet. Just
  44. 1:20think for yourself, if your Short is in
  45. 1:22the gaming category and YouTube
  46. 1:23recommends it to a viewer who has never
  47. 1:26played a game and has no interest in
  48. 1:27gaming videos, then no matter how
  49. 1:29strong your Short's hook is. That
  50. 1:31viewer is going to scroll instead of
  51. 1:33watching your Short. Because the
  52. 1:34problem isn't in your Short's hook, but
  53. 1:36in that viewer's interest. They simply
  54. 1:38don't like gaming videos. And this has
  55. 1:40a direct impact on this stat. It tells
  56. 1:41you that fewer people watch your Short
  57. 1:44and more people skip it. Which causes
  58. 1:46the views to get stuck. Therefore, it
  59. 1:47is very important to reach the correct
  60. 1:49audience for a Short. But now the
  61. 1:51question is, how will YouTube know
  62. 1:52which audience your Short is for? And
  63. 1:55how can you help YouTube reach the
  64. 1:56right audience for your Short? To know
  65. 1:58the answer to this, we need to
  66. 2:00understand YouTube's recommendation
  67. 2:01system a little. Look, the YouTube
  68. 2:03recommendation system works on the
  69. 2:04basis that it understands the viewer
  70. 2:06first. YouTube understands what type of
  71. 2:09content a viewer likes through their
  72. 2:10watch history, search history, likes,
  73. 2:12subscriptions, and interests. For
  74. 2:14example, one viewer watches YouTube
  75. 2:15growth charts every day. The second one
  76. 2:17watches Free Fire gameplay. The third
  77. 2:19one watches comedy content. So, YouTube
  78. 2:20will not recommend the same Short to
  79. 2:22all three of them. Recommendations are
  80. 2:23personalized according to each viewer's
  81. 2:25interest. But now you might be thinking
  82. 2:27that if YouTube knows so much about
  83. 2:29what type of content a viewer likes and
  84. 2:31what videos it should recommend more.
  85. 2:33Then why doesn't it find the right
  86. 2:35audience for our Shorts? Well, for this
  87. 2:37, you need to check this second point
  88. 2:39on your channel, and you need to
  89. 2:41observe by going to your channel
  90. 2:43whether all the Shorts you have
  91. 2:44uploaded so far are consistently
  92. 2:46targeting the same type of audience or
  93. 2:48not. Now, some of you might say that we
  94. 2:51have already selected a niche for our
  95. 2:53channel. If we are in the gaming niche,
  96. 2:55then obviously all our videos will be
  97. 2:57for the gaming audience. Exactly, if
  98. 2:58you also say the same, then listen. I
  99. 3:00am not just talking about the niche
  100. 3:01here. I am talking about your sub-niche
  101. 3:03. Because you will find multiple
  102. 3:05sub-niches in every niche. For example,
  103. 3:07this is the Free Fire gaming sub-niche.
  104. 3:08But even in this sub-niche, you will
  105. 3:10find multiple sub-niches. Like funny
  106. 3:12Free Fire moments, Free Fire tips and
  107. 3:14tricks, ranked gameplay, challenges and
  108. 3:16experiments, Free Fire updates, etc. If
  109. 3:18you uploaded funny Free Fire moments
  110. 3:19today, tips and tricks tomorrow, and a
  111. 3:21Free Fire challenge video the next day,
  112. 3:23then your viewers will also be
  113. 3:25different because some people came for
  114. 3:27entertainment and some to improve their
  115. 3:29game. Now think for yourself, will the
  116. 3:31viewer who came after watching your
  117. 3:33funny moments video watch your tips and
  118. 3:34tricks video? Of course not, because
  119. 3:36they only want entertainment, right?
  120. 3:38Therefore, if you haven't targeted an
  121. 3:40exact niche yet, it can be difficult
  122. 3:42for YouTube to identify your ideal
  123. 3:44viewer. That is why your shorts aren't
  124. 3:46reaching the right audience. But let's
  125. 3:48assume your shorts are getting the
  126. 3:49right audience. Your content is
  127. 3:51targeting just one sub-niche. Yet, the
  128. 3:53views still stop after 1K or 2K. This
  129. 3:56is where the last and most important
  130. 3:58point comes in: if I told you that
  131. 4:00people aren't watching your shorts
  132. 4:02because of a specific mistake, would
  133. 4:04you repeat that mistake in your next
  134. 4:06short? No, right? That's why YouTube
  135. 4:09provided you with this graph; note the
  136. 4:11points in every short. That cause
  137. 4:12people to leave your short and scroll
  138. 4:14away. Now, what you need to do is look
  139. 4:16at the point where the graph drops. See
  140. 4:18what reason the viewer had at that
  141. 4:19moment that made them scroll past your
  142. 4:21short. Did you take too long to get to
  143. 4:24the main point, or did the video
  144. 4:25suddenly feel boring or slow? You will
  145. 4:28find many such reasons there. So, do
  146. 4:29not repeat these mistakes next time.
  147. 4:32But another important thing you need to
  148. 4:33understand is that you shouldn't draw
  149. 4:35conclusions from just one short's graph
  150. 4:37. Compare the retention graphs of your
  151. 4:39last 15 shorts. And see if a pattern is
  152. 4:41appearing repeatedly in these graphs or
  153. 4:43not. If viewers are leaving at a
  154. 4:45similar point in multiple shorts, then
  155. 4:46understand that this isn't just an
  156. 4:48issue with one short. This is an area
  157. 4:49for improvement in your content format.
  158. 4:51And when you identify that problem and
  159. 4:53fix it in your next short, check the
  160. 4:54analytics again. If retention improves
  161. 4:57and viewers stay for longer. And the
  162. 4:59other signals also perform better. Then
  163. 5:01you will start to realize what actually
  164. 5:03hooks your audience. So, next time,
  165. 5:05note these points in your shorts and
  166. 5:07keep improving. Okay. So, if you are
  167. 5:09watching the video until this point, I
  168. 5:10want to give you a special gift. I want
  169. 5:12to do a channel giveaway for you. I
  170. 5:14know that very few people will be

  172. 5:17That is why you will easily win the
  173. 5:18giveaway. Simply go to the description
