- 0:00As a small channel, if you putting a lot
- 0:02of work, you upload your videos and you
- 0:03get less than 500 views on your videos,
- 0:06please stop posting and watch this video
- 0:09to the end. Look at this video for
- 0:11example. This video has gotten over
- 0:12350,000
- 0:14views and has made over $2,000 for me.
- 0:17Now, let's look at the analytics where
- 0:19the traffic is coming from. So, if you
- 0:21look at the traffic source on this
- 0:23video, you see that it's coming from
- 0:24YouTube recommendation. So, as a small
- 0:27creator, the biggest secret you need
- 0:29right now to start getting a lot of
- 0:30views on your videos is YouTube
- 0:32recommendation. In this video, I want to
- 0:34show you two things you need to do to
- 0:37get YouTube to start recommending your
- 0:38videos because with YouTube
- 0:40recommendations, you will get a lot more
- 0:42views on your videos than you currently
- 0:45get. Look at this video again. You see
- 0:47that in the last 48 hours, this video
- 0:50has gotten over 5,000 views in just 48
- 0:53hours and this is an old video. So, let
- 0:56me show you what I did in this video
- 0:57that's making this video to get a lot of
- 0:59views and even earn a lot of revenue for
- 1:02me.
- 1:03The first secret I applied on this video
- 1:06that helped me get a lot of views on the
- 1:07video is in the video itself, the file.
- 1:11It will take you a little more work, but
- 1:13if you're willing to put in extra 20
- 1:16minutes or 30 minutes work in the video,
- 1:18you will get more views on it. This
- 1:21first hack is one of the biggest secret
- 1:24why videos get a lot of recommendations.
- 1:26YouTube start pushing the video and that
- 1:29is the file optimization, the video
- 1:32itself. So, if you want to get more
- 1:34views on your videos, you need to
- 1:36optimize the file itself even before you
- 1:39upload it on YouTube. I'm going to show
- 1:41you step-by-step how to optimize it
- 1:43whether you're using an iPhone or you're
- 1:45using an Android phone. But first, let
- 1:48me explain how it works. When you are
- 1:50done recording the video, editing it,
- 1:53just before you upload it on YouTube,
- 1:55you need to optimize the name of the
- 1:58video. I'm not talking about the title
- 2:00of the video. I'm talking about the file
- 2:02itself. If you are able to add a
- 2:04relevant keyword to the name of that
- 2:07video file, you will double and even
- 2:10multiply your chances of getting this
- 2:12video recommended or pushed by YouTube
- 2:15itself. So, say for example, you would
- 2:17edited the video with CapCut. You are
- 2:20going to see something like this as the
- 2:22name of the file.
- 2:24If you're able to add a keyword to this,
- 2:26to move the file name from this to this,
- 2:30you increase your recommendation. So,
- 2:34this is the video file when I was done
- 2:36editing it and this is the name of the
- 2:38file when I was done with this
- 2:40optimization. Now, guess what happened?
- 2:43YouTube recognized this one better and
- 2:46faster and as a result, it started
- 2:48pushing the video. So, like I said, it
- 2:50takes extra work to move the file from
- 2:53this to this, but if you are able to do
- 2:55that, you will get 10 times more views
- 2:58on your videos than you normally get.
- 3:01So, when you are done editing the video,
- 3:03you save it to your phone or your
- 3:05computer. You can go on immediately and
- 3:08change the name.
- 3:09But before you do that, you need to go
- 3:11on YouTube and research relevant
- 3:13keywords you can actually add to the
- 3:15name of that video file. So, if you're
- 3:17using an iPhone, it is just easy. When
- 3:19the video is done, you can simply go on
- 3:21and change the name. But if you're
- 3:23working with an Android phone, you will
- 3:25have to save this file maybe in your
- 3:28Google Drive and from Google Drive, you
- 3:31can now go on to change the name like
- 3:33this.
- 3:34If you work with your computer, when
- 3:36you're done editing the video, send this
- 3:38video to your laptop and then go to your
- 3:40laptop and change the name.
- 3:44So, when a file is not optimized,
- 3:47algorithm does not understand this and
- 3:49even who to recommend the videos to. But
- 3:51if you optimize that video, algorithm
- 3:54understands exactly who to show this
- 3:56video to. So, immediately you upload
- 3:58this video, YouTube algorithm picks it
- 4:00and start promoting it and start sending
- 4:01it to everyone that needs to see this
- 4:04video. But for this one that's not
- 4:05optimized, it's going to take algorithm
- 4:07extra work to discover who it's meant
- 4:11for and in some cases, it will end up
- 4:14not even pushing it to the right
- 4:15audience. And that's exactly what I did
- 4:17in this video. As you can see here,
- 4:19recommendations are coming simply
- 4:22because the file name got optimized.
- 4:25Now, the second thing. This one will
- 4:28blow your mind. What this particular
- 4:30hack does is to help you get more views
- 4:32on the videos without anybody clicking
- 4:34on the video. So, this one is done in
- 4:37the settings of your channel. If you
- 4:39turn the settings on, anybody that comes
- 4:41on your channel will be watching this
- 4:43video without even them clicking on the
- 4:45video. So, let me show you example from
- 4:48my channel. So, when you open this, you
- 4:50can see it. I just opened the channel
- 4:52right now and this video is playing.
- 4:54What really happened here is a simple
- 4:57settings and this has helped me get more
- 5:00views on a daily basis on this video
- 5:02even without anybody clicking on it. So,
- 5:05as a small channel, you need to activate
- 5:07it immediately. How do you do that? You
- 5:09need to turn on the settings in your
- 5:10studio and it's something you can do
- 5:12with your smartphone.
- 5:13All you need to do is to go to Google
- 5:15Chrome and then you are going to type
- 5:18YouTube dashboard. You click on it. It's
- 5:20going to bring you to this place. Then
- 5:22you click on this to continue and then
- 5:24it's going to bring you to the desktop
- 5:25version of your smartphone. It has to be
- 5:28desktop version before it works. Once
- 5:30you come over here, the next thing you
- 5:32want to do is to go on and click on
- 5:34customization. Once you open it, it's
- 5:36going to bring you to this place. You
- 5:39can see this profile and you can see
- 5:41home tab. Go on and click on home tab
- 5:43and it's going to bring you to this
- 5:45place. A lot of small creators have not
- 5:47activated this and it's the reason why a
- 5:50lot of them are struggling to get views
- 5:53cuz this simple settings helps to
- 5:55optimize your channel in a way that
- 5:58people who come on your channel will see
- 5:59the right videos to watch and it will
- 6:01also help YouTube to start recommending
- 6:04just the videos you want YouTube to
- 6:05recommend for you. And that's exactly
- 6:07what I did in this particular case. So,
- 6:10what you need to do is to first of all,
- 6:12come over here and toggle this button
- 6:13on. So, it will show you sections of
- 6:16your home tab you need to activate. Now,
- 6:18there are a lot of sections here you can
- 6:20activate, but the one that really helped
- 6:21this video to get a lot of views is this
- 6:24one called featured video for returning
- 6:26subscribers. So, you are going to
- 6:29activate this.
- 6:31By activating it, you simply make this
- 6:34video to play every time anyone that
- 6:36subscribed to your channel comes over
- 6:38here. Without watching the video, you
- 6:40are getting views on the video just like
- 6:42I showed you. So, this is what you're
- 6:44going to do. You click on this and
- 6:46you're going to see spotlight for
- 6:47returning subscribers. You turn it on.
- 6:50And once you turn it on, it's going to
- 6:52request that you select a video you want
- 6:54to use for this section. So, you go on
- 6:57and select that video you want to get a
- 6:59lot of views on. Make sure it's a video
- 7:01that offers value. So, once you select
- 7:03it, you activate this settings. So,
- 7:06anytime someone who subscribed to your
- 7:08channel comes over here without clicking
- 7:10on the video, you're getting a lot of
- 7:11views. Another thing you can do is also
- 7:14to make this video your channel trailer.
- 7:17Let's say for example, you want to get a
- 7:18lot more views on this
- 7:20video. So, after making it your featured
- 7:23video, you can also make it your channel
- 7:24trailer, which means those that are
- 7:26subscribed will see it. They will watch
- 7:29it without watching it. Those that are
- 7:31not yet subscribed will see it. They
- 7:32will still watch it without watching it.
- 7:35So, you can choose it as your channel
- 7:36trailer and then as your spotlight or
- 7:38featured video. The moment you are done
- 7:40activating it, make sure you come over
- 7:42here and click on this button that says
- 7:44save to save this video. Moving forward,
- 7:48not only will YouTube start recommending
- 7:50this video to a lot of people, but those
- 7:52that land on your channel for the first
- 7:54time or even returning viewers will
- 7:56always see this video and start watching
- 7:57it immediately without pushing the click
- 8:00button. So, these are two powerful hacks
- 8:02I applied on this video that's helping
- 8:05the video to get 5,000 views every 48
- 8:08hours and it continues to get me a lot
- 8:10of views, a lot of subscribers and even
- 8:12earn me revenue on a daily basis. Yes,
- 8:15it works and I'm sure that if you
- 8:17implement it, you're going to get more
- 8:19views on the video. One more important
- 8:21thing you need to do to make sure that
- 8:22this video continues to get views all
- 8:24the time is to optimize your channel
- 8:27itself using the right keywords in the
- 8:30right places. And that's why you need to
- 8:32go on and watch this video right now
- 8:33because I explain exactly how to
- 8:34optimize your channel as a beginner that
- 8:37will help YouTube to recommend your
