Full transcript

1. 0:00YouTube just released a massive
2. 0:01algorithm update for November 2026 and
3. 0:03completely changes what you should be
4. 0:05doing in order to get more views and get
5. 0:07more subscribers on YouTube. But, I
6. 0:08don't want you to panic because if you
7. 0:10simply begin to use the AI tools that
8. 0:12YouTube has now put out, turn on the new
9. 0:13settings that they recently changed, and
10. 0:15the other things I'm going to share with
11. 0:16you in this video, it's going to
12. 0:17increase the odds that you're going to
13. 0:18get more subscribers on YouTube and get
14. 0:20monetized before we go into 2027.
15. 0:23Because November is one of the most
16. 0:24important months when it comes to
17. 0:26getting views on YouTube, and I want to
18. 0:27make sure that you don't miss this.
19. 0:30Change number one is now YouTube is
20. 0:31rolling out AI to everybody's channel,
21. 0:33and this is actually going to allow you
22. 0:35to optimize your content and create
23. 0:37better content in the future in a
24. 0:39totally different way. Check this out.
25. 0:41So, that first thing I actually wanted
26. 0:42to show you here is going to be S Studio
27. 0:45in the top right-hand corner right here
28. 0:47because this can now actually go through
29. 0:48and help you optimize your content. For
30. 0:50example, we could come over here and we
31. 0:52can say, "Can you give me different
32. 0:55thumbnails so I can run an A/B test
33. 1:00on this video." And then what I'm going
34. 1:02to do is I'm actually going to copy the
35. 1:03name of this video right here, and then
36. 1:05we're going to feed this into this. And
37. 1:07what this is actually going to be able
38. 1:09to do is it is going to look at the
39. 1:11current thumbnail, and it is actually
40. 1:13going to go through and come up with
41. 1:15other thumbnails that we should be
42. 1:17potentially A/B testing here. And while
43. 1:19it actually goes through and does that,
44. 1:21I wanted to show you other things that
45. 1:22you could actually get this to do. You
46. 1:24could come over here and get it to
47. 1:25summarize comments, summarize
48. 1:27performance, refine video titles,
49. 1:29suggest new ideas. You could use it to
50. 1:31workshop a video, you could use it to
51. 1:33create a content plan, and you could use
52. 1:35it to understand your channel community,
53. 1:37and even engage with your community,
54. 1:39which is pretty incredible. And it's
55. 1:40great that they actually have this AI
56. 1:42tool in here that's actually trained on
57. 1:44your specific channel. Now, check this
58. 1:46out. This has actually gone through, and
59. 1:47this has actually grabbed this. So, this
60. 1:49gave me another one that I should check
61. 1:51out right here, and gave me this one
62. 1:53right here. And what's incredible is I
63. 1:55actually literally just got this hat.
64. 1:57So, if we come over to this video, we
65. 1:59could see through sure, yep, I'm wearing
66. 2:02this hat in this actual video. So, it
67. 2:04actually took what I was wearing from
68. 2:06here. So, this allows consistency, and
69. 2:08this allows me to not have to actually
70. 2:10take thumbnail photos every single time
71. 2:12that I go to do something. But again,
72. 2:14you could get this to run AB test across
73. 2:16your entire channel. You could do this
74. 2:18with titles. You could do this with
75. 2:19thumbnails. You could even say, "Hey,
76. 2:21what is killing my audience retention on
77. 2:24this video?" And it will be able to give
78. 2:25you an in-depth answer for what's
79. 2:27causing that. We can see these look like
80. 2:29professional thumbnails. They don't look
81. 2:31bad or AI generated. Change number two
82. 2:34is that now only two metrics matter when
83. 2:36it comes to your long-form content and
84. 2:38it comes to your short-form content.
85. 2:40Now, I'm going to give them to you so
86. 2:41that you know exactly what to focus on
87. 2:43when it comes to your analytics because
88. 2:44otherwise, staring at that screen can be
89. 2:46incredibly overwhelming. So, here are
90. 2:48the only two metrics that actually
91. 2:49matter. If we come over into the content
92. 2:51on this page right here, we look at this
93. 2:53video that got 45,000 views. So, it's
94. 2:55performing pretty good. We come into the
95. 2:57analytics. The first thing we want to
96. 2:58look at is the reach right here. We want
97. 3:00to make sure that in the first 24 hours
98. 3:02that this is as close or over to 10%. If
99. 3:06it's not, either one, your topic is
100. 3:08wrong, or two, your thumbnail was wrong.
101. 3:10The next place we want to look is we
102. 3:12want to come into overview. We want to
103. 3:14scroll all the way down here, and we
104. 3:15want to look at the audience retention
105. 3:17for the first 30 seconds. We want that
106. 3:19to be over 70%. If your click-through
107. 3:22rate isn't that high and your audience
108. 3:24retention isn't that high, those are the
109. 3:26first two things that you need to change
110. 3:28because here's the deal. If somebody
111. 3:29doesn't make it past the first 30
112. 3:31seconds of your video, there's no way
113. 3:32they make it through the rest. So, you
114. 3:33need to stop that bleeding immediately.
115. 3:35And if nobody clicks on your content,
116. 3:37then they never actually watch a video,
117. 3:39which is why that also needs to be a
118. 3:40focus. So, you can literally ignore
119. 3:42everything else showing up in your
120. 3:43analytics if you focus on those two
121. 3:45things and fix those first. And when it
122. 3:47comes to YouTube Shorts, this is
123. 3:49actually going to be completely
124. 3:50different. So, if we look at this video
125. 3:51right here that got over 5 million views
126. 3:54on YouTube Shorts, we come over into the
127. 3:56analytics, we could see I have a few
128. 3:58things right. First and foremost, state
129. 4:00to watch. This means did somebody make
130. 4:01it past the first 3 seconds? And that is
131. 4:04basically the click-through rate version
132. 4:06for shorts. You need this to be over 75%
133. 4:09ideally you have it over 80%. If you're
134. 4:12able to do that, the second thing that
135. 4:13matters is your average view duration
136. 4:15should ideally be longer than the actual
137. 4:18video itself. If that's not the case,
138. 4:20then that is what is actually holding
139. 4:22back the growth of your YouTube channel.
140. 4:25And again, you don't have to look at all
141. 4:26these other metrics and all these other
142. 4:28things you could possibly look at. Just
143. 4:30look at those two metrics but for both
144. 4:32long-form content and for short-form
145. 4:34content in order to maximize your
146. 4:36results you're getting. Change number
147. 4:37three is that SEO is more important than
148. 4:40ever before. And when I talk about SEO,
149. 4:42I'm not just talking about showing up on
150. 4:43YouTube because now people are chatting
151. 4:45with chat GPT, they're chatting with
152. 4:47Gemini, they're chatting with Claude,
153. 4:48they're chatting with Grok, they're
154. 4:50chatting with Muse, all these different
155. 4:51tools and they're actually pulling
156. 4:52content from YouTube to recommend it.
157. 4:55And there are a few things that you need
158. 4:56to make sure that you're doing in order
159. 4:57to get this to happen the right way. In
160. 4:59fact, there's an AI tool that can help
161. 5:01you do this way better. Let me explain.
162. 5:04Now to prove to you how important SEO
163. 5:06actually is, I wanted to very quickly
164. 5:08just come over into my audience insights
165. 5:10so that you could actually see just how
166. 5:12much this means to my channel. Because
167. 5:15if we come over here, we could see that
168. 5:17more than 70% of the traffic I'm getting
169. 5:19on my channel come from search. And if
170. 5:21we look at the rest of it, a lot of it's
171. 5:23coming from external which is going to
172. 5:25be from other places like chat GPT or
173. 5:28Google. Now the way that I'm actually
174. 5:30able to make this happen is I am using
175. 5:32vidIQ. In fact, I obsess over using this
176. 5:35tool. Because when you log into vidIQ,
177. 5:37you're going to be able to see that we
178. 5:38could come over into more right here and
179. 5:40we could see that they have all these
180. 5:42different tools. But where I'm focused
181. 5:44is on research right here. Because this
182. 5:46shows outlier videos in my niche. This
183. 5:48shows rising keywords. And if I come
184. 5:50over to keywords right here, I could see
185. 5:53what people are searching for. I could
186. 5:54see the top search terms. And if I come
187. 5:56over here for example, people are
188. 5:58searching for an After Effects tutorial
189. 6:00and I click into this, we can actually
190. 6:02see all the different keywords. We could
191. 6:03see all the videos that actually show
192. 6:05under this, all the shorts that show
193. 6:07under this, all the different channels
194. 6:09that show under this, all of the
195. 6:11thumbnails that show under this, and
196. 6:12this allows me to then make better
197. 6:15content because I know who I'm competing
198. 6:17against, I know what terms are getting
199. 6:19the most search, I know what videos are
200. 6:20trending, and I can now go through and
201. 6:22create better content than the other
202. 6:25things that are showing up, which is
203. 6:26essentially how you're going to rank for
204. 6:28search. And when it comes to ranking for
205. 6:29search, you need to not only be focused
206. 6:31about the new content that you're
207. 6:33making, but also optimizing your old
208. 6:35content. If we come over into optimize
209. 6:37right here, this allows us to go through
210. 6:39all of our videos, all of our shorts,
211. 6:42and let's say we want to optimize, let's
212. 6:44say this one right here, we can actually
213. 6:45click into this, come into SEO, and this
214. 6:48does an SEO review, and writes us a new
215. 6:50description, writes us new tags, and
216. 6:52suggests what we should actually change
217. 6:54to increase the odds that this video is
218. 6:56going to end up ranking for search. And
219. 6:58VidIQ is the only way for you to be able
220. 7:00to do this. That S Studio feature that I
221. 7:02showed you earlier on YouTube will not
222. 7:04be able to accomplish any of this
223. 7:05because it doesn't have access to the
224. 7:07things that VidIQ has access to, which
225. 7:09is why this is a tool that literally
226. 7:11every single YouTuber, if you're taking
227. 7:14this seriously and you want to get
228. 7:15monetized, needs to be using. And the
229. 7:17best part about VidIQ is you could go to
230. 7:18the pinned comment below and get started
231. 7:20with that today for only $1. This tool
232. 7:22is going to help you rank for search,
233. 7:24it's going to help you get discovered
234. 7:25more, and it's going to help you grow
235. 7:26way faster. In fact, it's been my secret
236. 7:28weapon to gaining over 900,000
237. 7:31subscribers on this channel. Without
238. 7:32VidIQ, that never would have happened.
239. 7:35Change number four is you need to make
240. 7:36sure that you are protecting your
241. 7:37likeness on YouTube because now what
242. 7:39YouTube actually has happening is AI is
243. 7:42watching every piece of content that
244. 7:43comes up. So, if somebody else is
245. 7:45uploading videos of me and they're not
246. 7:47doing well, that could actually signal
247. 7:49to YouTube's AI that, "Hey, this face,
248. 7:52this guy doesn't do well on YouTube.
249. 7:54Don't show his content to these people."
250. 7:56So, if people are stealing your name or
251. 7:57likeness, guess what? It could actually
252. 7:59be hurting your own channel either now
253. 8:02or in the future. Now, that you'll
254. 8:04actually be able to go through and
255. 8:06protect your likeness is if we come over
256. 8:08into content detection on the left-hand
257. 8:10side right here, we're now going to see
258. 8:12this likeness beta right here. We could
259. 8:13come over here and click on start now
260. 8:15and this goes through exactly how you
261. 8:17set it up. So, basically, you have to
262. 8:18agree to YouTube using biometric
263. 8:20technology to look for your likeness.
264. 8:22You have to take a photo of your ID and
265. 8:24record a brief video of your face and
266. 8:25voice. Then you have to check your email
267. 8:27and go through the verification process.
268. 8:29After you do that, you'll be able to
269. 8:30actually agree to this and then YouTube
270. 8:32will actually tell you when somebody's
271. 8:34using your likeness and you'll be able
272. 8:35to stop them from using it. This is
273. 8:37going to be different than people
274. 8:38copyrighting your content. This isn't a
275. 8:40big deal. So, basically, if we come over
276. 8:42here, we could see that I have gotten
277. 8:43thousands of views, if not tens of
278. 8:45thousands of views, because hundreds of
279. 8:47people have gone through and ripped my
280. 8:49content off. This person took 100% of my
281. 8:51video, 90%, 100%, 90%, 100%, but I'm
282. 8:56totally fine with that because it's
283. 8:57content that I personally made. They
284. 9:00weren't making me say or do something
285. 9:02that I didn't do, which is actually
286. 9:04going to hurt me. Instead, it's stuff
287. 9:06that I already made. So, if they want to
288. 9:07put that out, God bless them. All
289. 9:09they're doing is actually helping me
290. 9:11out. If you want to be able to
291. 9:12supercharge this, well, then you want to
292. 9:13make sure that inside of your video
293. 9:16settings right here, if we scroll all
294. 9:17the way down, that you are actually
295. 9:19allowing people to clip up your content.
296. 9:22So, shorts remixing, you want to make
297. 9:23sure that that's on. Embedding, you want
298. 9:25to make sure that that's on because all
299. 9:27that's going to do is help you get more
300. 9:28views that you aren't doing any work
301. 9:31for. If people want to spread your
302. 9:32content around, they want to remix your
303. 9:34videos, they want to remix your audio,
304. 9:35please let them. Don't be one of those
305. 9:37people that doesn't allow it because
306. 9:39literally all you're doing is hurting
307. 9:41yourself. Change number five, is there a
308. 9:43handful of different account settings
309. 9:44that I want to make sure you're enabling
310. 9:46because these are going to be new and
311. 9:48they could be preventing you from
312. 9:49getting the views or subscribers that
313. 9:51you actually want. Now, in order to
314. 9:53access those important settings, what
315. 9:54you're going to want to do is come over
316. 9:56into settings right here. We want to
317. 9:58come under channel, advanced settings,
318. 10:00scroll all the way down. The first thing
319. 10:02you want to turn on is third-party
320. 10:03training. In the past, I would have said
321. 10:06do not have this turned on, but I would
322. 10:07actually have this turned on now because
323. 10:09it's going to increase the odds that
324. 10:10your content shows up in AI. Because if
325. 10:13AI is being trained on your content,
326. 10:16well then guess what? The knowledge, all
327. 10:17that different information, is going to
328. 10:19be in there, and it's more likely that
329. 10:21they will actually use your content as a
330. 10:23source. In addition to that, video
331. 10:24quality enhancements, turn both of these
332. 10:26on. Clips, we're just talking about this
333. 10:28in the last section, make sure that's
334. 10:30turned on. Allow automatic dubbing,
335. 10:32allow it. Manual reviews, turn that off
336. 10:35so that it just automatically happens.
337. 10:37If become over here, you also want to
338. 10:40make sure that hype is going to be
339. 10:42turned on. Because what that's going to
340. 10:44allow your viewers to do is actually
341. 10:45hype up your content. In addition, if we
342. 10:47come under basic info right here, you
343. 10:49want to make sure that this contains all
344. 10:51different tags that are relevant to what
345. 10:54you're posting about. If we come into
346. 10:55advanced settings right here, this is
347. 10:57where we just were. In feature
348. 10:58eligibility, you need these three green
349. 11:00dots. Now, the next thing you want to do
350. 11:02in terms of settings is you want to make
351. 11:04sure that you're clicking on the top
352. 11:06right hand corner right here, clicking
353. 11:07on your channel, and then you actually
354. 11:09want to come in to customize channel.
355. 11:11Because from here, what you're going to
356. 11:13be able to do is change your handle. You
357. 11:15need to make sure that your handle has
358. 11:17your name in it and has your niche in
359. 11:19it. Otherwise, you're just going to get
360. 11:21a random tag, and that random tag
361. 11:23decreases the odds that you'll rank for
362. 11:25SEO, decreases the odds that chat GPT,
363. 11:28Gemini, and all of the above are going
364. 11:30to actually be promoting your content.
365. 11:32Basically, it's just another way for you
366. 11:33to be able to raise your hand, tell
367. 11:35YouTube exactly what your content's
368. 11:37about, and then all those tags that you
369. 11:39had in the last section, make sure those
370. 11:41show up inside of your description right
371. 11:43here, or vice versa, whichever way you
372. 11:45actually filled them out. Now, if you
373. 11:47enjoyed this video and you're stuck with
374. 11:48low views on YouTube, I would strongly
375. 11:50suggest you check out this video right
376. 11:51here that walks you through the exact
377. 11:53changes that you can make in order to
378. 11:55fix this. I'll see you over there.
