NOPE, SKIP!!! [HQ BLOG] YouTube hacks to get a lot of views

Every YouTuber wants to increase the number of views in their videos but how will you do it? Well, let’s be true that it won’t matter much how many hacks or ads you use if your videos aren’t good enough. So how can you create compelling content that will get more views on YouTube?

We will discuss how you can increase views on your videos.

Simply find what your ideal customers most want to know, and then create videos that meet their needs.

Ask Viewers to Subscribe

 One of the simplest ways to increase your YouTube views is to encourage your current viewers to subscribe because gaining subscribers will increase the number of views on each new video that you release. 

How do you persuade viewers to subscribe?

The best way is to simply ask at the start and end of each video! However, do not simply ask viewers to subscribe to your YouTube channel. After they’ve clicked ‘Subscribe,’ make sure to remind them to turn on the notification bell.

Once a viewer subscribes, they will be notified when you upload a new video. 

Increasing your subscriber base is critical for getting more free YouTube views, so begin asking your viewers to subscribe right away!

Create Playlists to keep your audience engaged

According to YouTube, “top-performing brands on YouTube build and promote twice as many playlists as the bottom 25%.”

Playlists can help improve search rankings because the titles of playlists provide another opportunity to target keywords.

The simplest way to make a YouTube playlist is to go to each video you want to add and click the ‘+’ icon beneath the video.

Then you can either make a new playlist or add it to an existing one. Create a playlist of your best content and start promoting it today to get more views on YouTube!

Use End screens and cards to promote other videos.

Cards and end screens are promotional tools that you can use to increase the number of views on your YouTube videos. 

What are End Screens?

An end screen is a dedicated frame at the end of your videos that you can use to wrap things up and highlight calls to action.

What are Cards?

Cards are a tool that can be set to appear at any point in the video. 

You can use these to direct viewers to another video or playlist, or you can create a poll card to ask viewers what they want to see more of. 

To use these features, you must first verify your YouTube account. 

To do so, click on your profile picture in the upper right corner, then select ‘Creator Studio.’ and then click on ‘Video Manager,’ then click ‘Videos.’ Find the video that you want to add the end screen card to and click ‘Edit.’ Once you’re on the video editor page, you can add end screens and cards by clicking the menu items at the top of the page:

Add a Watermark in Videos

Watermarks promote your channel throughout all of your videos, allowing you to gain more subscribers and more YouTube views.

What are Watermarks?

A watermark is simply an image that you can configure to appear on all of your videos most brands use their logo as a watermark. 

A subscription prompt appears when a viewer hovers their mouse over a watermark.

To do so, click on your profile picture in the upper right corner, then select ‘Creator Studio.’, and then click on the ‘Branding’ option.

It’s important to note that you can’t choose which videos have watermarks and which don’t; they either appear on all of your videos or none of them.

Make Sure Your Videos Are Embedding Enabled

You’ve spent hours making an amazing video, and your viewers want to share it on their websites and blogs, but they can’t. Because you did not enable embedding. Allowing viewers to embed your video on their websites and blogs is an efficient way for your brand to reach new audiences and increase YouTube views. 

If a video supports embedding when a viewer clicks ‘Share’ beneath the video window, YouTube will display the ‘Embed’ option and When they click this, they will be able to copy the embedding code for the video and paste it into their blog or website.

To enable embedding, go to the Creator Studio and navigate to the video’s edit page. Then click ‘Advanced Settings’ and scroll down to the “Distribution options” and make sure the “Allow Embedding” is ticked

Promote Your Videos on Social Media Platforms.

If you have followers on other social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter, notify them often when you upload a new video to YouTube. 

A short teaser video is an excellent way to accomplish this. 

Understand the Importance of ‘Watch Time’

The YouTube algorithm is complicated, but the most important thing to remember is that it is heavily based on ‘Watch Time.’ 

Indeed, YouTube claims that “every video uploaded — as well as every channel on YouTube — is ‘ranked’ by watch time.”

What is Watch Time?

Watch Time is the amount of time people spend watching your videos.

Keep in mind to focus on retaining viewers as long as possible, and don’t be afraid to promote other YouTube channels in your niche!

Optimize Your Video Titles

YouTube functions as a search engine. It is also important for YouTube’s algorithm to consider multiple factors when selecting videos for search results. And the platform offers a variety of options for optimizing your channel and videos, such as video file names, titles, descriptions, and tags.

As a result, include as much relevant information. You must first determine which keywords you want your videos and channel to rank for.

Optimize Your Channel

Optimizing your channel is essential for building your brand and increasing your YouTube views. 

And YouTube has plenty of options for optimizing your channel.

How do you do it?

Create a strong, consistent brand. Check that your YouTube branding matches that of your website and other social channels. This entails making use of the same logo, images, and colors.

Optimize your YouTube channel description.

 This is displayed in the ‘About’ tab of your channel. You only add 1,000 characters, so use them wisely. 

What should you include in the description of your YouTube channel?

Begin with a brief description of your company and the benefits of your products. Then, explain why viewers should watch your YouTube videos. Are you instructing them in anything? Tell the audience what they stand to gain. Make sure to include your targeted keywords in your YouTube channel description, just like you do in your video titles.

Add channel keywords.

After you’ve researched and decided on the keywords you want your channel to rank for in search results, go to “Channel,” then “Advanced.” 

Simply type your keywords into the box labeled “Channel Keywords.”

Create Compelling Thumbnail Images

What is Thumbnail?

A thumbnail is a preview image for a video. This small image is critical if you want to get more free YouTube views. When you upload a video, you have the option of selecting one of the auto-generated thumbnail images.

In general, try to include backgrounds that are brightly colored, Close-ups of people’s faces, and Overlays of text with Subtle branding.

Know What’s Viral

Keeping up with what’s going on in your industry can mean the difference between becoming well-known and fading into obscurity. 

Those who have a thorough understanding of what is going on in their world can create videos that are both current and interesting to those who are researching the niche.
