How to get more views on YouTube.

2 million view certificate

1. Compelling content creation 

No matter how many promotional ads or avant-garde tactics you use, it won’t matter if your videos are irrelevant. What can you do to be more creative? How can you create compelling content that will get more views on YouTube?

Make videos your consumers want to watch and consistently add new content. To grow a fanatical following and increase YouTube views, it’s the proven way to go.

2. Subscribe, Subscribe Subscribe!

Persuade current viewers of your videos to become fans of your site by using the built in function in YouTube Studio that allows them to register or subscribe to your channel from the video itself. Getting Subscribing from your existing users is one of the fastest ways to get more views on YouTube. 

Q. What is the Best way to grab your audiences attention?

Begin and end each video with an “ASK” – subscribe now. But don’t be content with just asking your fans to subscribe to your YouTube channel; engage them in conversation. Also, make sure that you tell them about the notification sign up when they opt to subscribe.”

3. Use different PLAYLISTS to define your videos.

Customers will get sick of videos if they are the same topics every day. Make different playlists with different subjects, different lengths, for them to keep them coming back for more.

Playlists provide results for marketing researchers because they help target fans with a specific focus, and provide useful information about video watching patterns for marketing researchers because they assist in segmenting fans based on watching habits.

The simplest way to put together a YouTube playlist is to select your videos, and press the ‘+’ button next to the desired videos. Choose a new playlist or just add it to one you’ve already made. The easiest way to gain views on YouTube is to promote your own videos on your social platforms!

4. Use all your Social Media platforms to promote your videos.

The more social channels you use, the more people can find your videos.

If you have other social media fans, post a notification on all your sites when you post new videos on; Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Vimeo, Instagram, Rumble, MeWe, Parlor USA.Life, Telegram, Snapchat, TikTok to name a few.

Don’t forget to include links in your email lists too. A market-average email open rate of 18% and a buy rate of 66% makes email marketing one of the most effective sales-generating platforms possible.

5. Create and Engage  your tribe.

Encourage the exchange of knowledge, information, and the growth of the community – this is social networking.  In addition to being a video search engine, YouTube is also a sharing network where users can make comments and watch other people’s videos. It’s also a meeting spot. 

Similar to other social networks, the only way to get more likes on YouTube is to make more videos. In other words, you need to engage with your audience watching your specific videos. Respond to people’s comments, answer questions, provide feedback, ask for shares,.

6. Think SEO for your TITLES

YouTube is one of Google’s largest search engines, and as such search engine optimization (SEO) is prioritized highly.

The search results on YouTube weigh several considerations when choosing the videos to view. You will use the app to make the channel and videos more searchable by optimizing the filenames, titles, explanations, and tags.

The more data you have, the more results you can get. It is absolutely essential that you know the keywords you want your videos to appear for and videos to optimize for.

Use keywords to help your videos rise in search results, but you’ll get more clicks if you incorporate well-structured keywords into your titles and explanations. accurate, insightful, and attention-grabbing are better than selective.

7. Make or use great thumbnail Graphics

The thumbnail on every video needs to tell its own story – “click me”. This small image is critical if you want more views on YouTube. When you upload a video, you can choose one of the preset thumbnail images that the computer creates. Don’t do that. Instead, upload your own image. 

90% of the best YouTube videos have their own purpose made images as the thumbnail.

Thumbnails are critical in branding. They shouldn’t be ignored. You should make sure you have the best possible video to catch a good thumbnail.  An attractive thumbnail is one that draws the interest of the viewer, portrays your character or theme, is compatible with your brand, and is right for the video.

Use Brightly colored backgrounds – my faves are red, yellow and bright blue.

Crop into peoples faces rather than a full length body shot.

Use text to convey what’s in the video

Add a logo or brand to one of the bottom corners of the video.

Be sure to use thumbnails that are exciting and that are successful when uploading your video to YouTube so that they keep your audience’s interest.
