HOW TO GET MORE VIEWS ON YOUTUBE CHANNEL IN 2024






 A New Era for Creators on YouTube


So we are entering a new era on YouTube and everything is changing subscribers mean nothing literally just a vanity metric now so the question is what's working right now on YouTube and is it still possible to start and grow a channel this video will cover the four best strategies that are working right now and one strategy that a Creator used to get 1,000 subscribers in just 9 days and monetized in a total of 15 days and while I'm not promising that your channel is going to get those results I can promise you that applying these tips will help you fix some of the mistakes that hold creators back and help you reach your goals faster you got to just press record is it true that only the big creators the top 10% of famous YouTubers get all of the views the answer is no that's not true but I understand why it feels that way I mean maybe you're even feeling discouraged because you put a lot of effort into a video like you edit for 7 hours and you get seven views that's super frustrating it's important that we take a step back and look at YouTube objectively and when we do we actually can discover a massive opportunity right now for new and small creators consider these facts out of 10 people that we surveyed said that they are seeing videos from small creators recommended to them on their home feeds that means brand new channels that are just starting and that's happening right now and YouTube themselves has revealed that they have a staff dedicated just to helping new creators get discovered so if you're not getting views right now it might not be your fault it could be the fact that YouTube has changed and the old rules don't apply anymore so when you're armed with the right information and the four strategies going to talk about in this video you can tap into this massive opportunity for new and small channels .

YouTube's Algorithm Today



But to understand and apply these strategies we first need to understand how YouTube's algorithm is working right now firstly and this might sound controversial but subscribers don't matter when social media started the old school way algorithms would work is called the social graph which would focus on connections who you follow and who follows you so basically your friend's activity determines what you see the problem is algorithms based on the social graph make for a terrible viewer experience for example you're online searching for interesting content when suddenly you're bombarded with knitting tutorials because you liked one of your mother-in-law's posts out of politeness now your feed is a sea of yarn in Needles and you're questioning every life choice that led you to this point this is why social media platforms including YouTube are moving away from the social graph and towards the interest graph this means that what's being recommended to you on YouTube is based on likes searches your YouTube watch history and all of that determines what videos you get recommended so instead of knitting patterns or moonlanding hoaxes you get recommended the content that you actually care about not that your mother-in-law cares about essentially the YouTube algorithm is like having a personal assistant who actually listens and remembers your preferences and understanding this is critical to YouTube success right now in fact one of the top business creators on.

YouTube is Changing


The platform Alex heroi called this the ticktock ification of YouTube look at this clip in my opinion all social media has switched to the Tik Tok tiktock ification of of social media um I you know I actually think it's good because what it does is it like subscribe mean nothing followers on Instagram mean nothing they're literally just a vanity metric now and so the only thing that matters is Click retain reward that's it like that like and it doesn't matter what the platform is they're all the same is like did you get them to click did you get them to watch and to get them to come back yeah that's it and so you could be a brand new account and have your first video do 10 million on the first upload ever which I think in some ways is like a great equalizer and it makes the content King so we just discovered a big key if you want to get views subscribers don't matter what matters is creating smart interest based .

 Creating Smart, Interest Based Videos


Videos now earlier I mentioned a Creator who's one of the students in our YouTube coaching program who quickly grew a brand new channel because he understood this his name is Marco and his channel is called just dream Italy and from publishing his first video it only took him 9 days to reach 1,000 subscribers and 15 total days to get his channel monitized but what people don't realize is that he strategically tapped into interest based content and search based content when he was starting his channel I was very prepared when I started my channel I knew exactly what I wanted to do I had zoned in really on the style that I wanted on my video based on other YouTubers that I admire and so I really knew what I wanted to produce when I started with the channel I I think that's why the channel did take off because I was prepared in terms of the actual filming of the content I was prepared um in knowing how to edit that content and I knew who the channel was meant for uh I I knew what the niche was I was really informed you know of other channels who were doing similar things to a lesser quality and already getting a lot of uh a lot of views having that Clarity I think is what made the channel take off his first two videos included a specific searchable location Nardo a town in Italy and a specific desire buying a home in that area or buying a townhouse so Marco wasn't just making random videos he was discovering intelligent video ideas and boom that was the foundational key to his early YouTube success so the question is how do you and I actually discover what people want to watch on YouTube how can we find these smart interest-based video ideas and how can we get people to click.

Strategy 1 :



And watch them here are the four YouTube growth strategies number one learn from video outliers on channels similar to yours so for example if a channel has 1,000 subscribers and on average gets 1,000 views per video if they had a video that got 100,000 views that would be a 100 times greater than the Channel's average and that video would be worth studying so essentially an outlier is a proven video recipe that works and it's proof that there is demand for that video topic so the question is how do we find outliers well there's two ways you could do it manually or you could use software or a tool so if you do it manually you would identify some competitor channels or similar channels search their videos by most popular preferably look for the most recent videos that have the most views and kind of calculate the math yourself this is worth doing although there's a much better way and that is to use cool software one of my favorite tools for YouTube content creation is called vid IQ and one of the features they have inside of the software is called outliers discover winning ideas to inspire your next video so let's say that your channel was about real estate and you typed in a topic like buy a house what's going to show up is videos that have a score next to them 45x 76 x 16x what does that mean those scores mean the video did 45 times better than the channels average or 76 times better than the channels average so immediately you can start identifying topics that maybe you want to create on your real estate channel should you buy a house now or wait until 2024 how to buy a house at foreclosure auctions and if one of these video ideas stands out to you you can click these Three Dots and open the video in YouTube so you can watch it and see what you can learn from the video itself you can search and find similar videos or you could say give me ideas based off of the outlier video you just identified is now the time to buy a house is 2024 the worst time to buy a house and as we scroll down the page we can find endless inspiration when it comes to titles and thumbnails and again the key here is that these are proven video topics that outperform channel averages that can Inspire your next best video now there's actually another way to identify outliers directly on YouTube once you've installed the vid IQ Vision Google Chrome plugin and so what will happen is you'll start getting these additional bits of info when you go to any YouTube channel and what you're looking for again is outliers you can see this episode of the think media podcast outperformed the Channel's average by 3.1 and so it makes it easy to scroll on the page this was an 8.1 outlier score 4.3 outlier score so the goal is to quickly scroll through somebody with a similar channel topic or a competitor and find certain videos that stood out and then study those videos Remember success leaves Clues let's say that your channel was about health and wellness and you wanted to dive into the topic of anti-aging on this page we can see inspiration with anti-aging fruits anti-aging exercises but up here we can also filter our outliers by a couple of factors with this software one of the smartest things is to not look at all time but perhaps look in just the last 6 months maybe we want to focus on videos that are a little bit longer over 10 minutes how many views per hour are they getting how many subscribers does the channel have maybe you want to just look at smaller channels that have say under 177,000 subscribers how many views does the video have but this first score right here is the outlier score saying that okay do these videos have at least 25 times the Channel's average views and you could tweak these sliders and therefore get different results that can lead to inspir ation regarding anti-aging content and this isn't my Niche but I'm already inspired with these top three results I could dive deep into this anti-aging device maybe this is something I want to try or cover or in the future could be a brand partnership or relationship we saw in our last result as well as this one that anti-aging fruits is very popular and again you might not have thought about going that direction but that's something that you could easily talk about that's now been inspired and verified that people care and that that topic outperforms channels of smaller size so I think you can see how powerful this outliers concept is the goal is to discover winning video ideas that will inspire your first or next video and if you actually want to try out vid IQ you could try it out for just $1 I've got a link in the description down below I do earn commissions from that link but I've been using vid IQ for years it's one of my favorite softwares and I think you're going to love it strategy number two is.

Strategy 2 :


Trend surfing create strategic videos around people places and events so we've already learned that the YouTube algorithm uses your viewing habits and your watch History to recommend you similar content that's why when you're watching a YouTube video about a particular person or a particular event the algorithm will start to recommend other videos from other creators about   that same person or that same trending event and one of the verifiable facts that is happening right now is they're not just recommending big creators small creators are being included in these recommendations and this my friend is your opportunity to start getting your content suggested even if you're brand new so the question is how do you find Trends to Surf well one of the ways is to search your channel topic and your channel subtopics on Google News for example this channel think media is dedicated to helping you succeed on YouTube we cover the tech side cameras as well as the strategy side tips and so I'll go to Google news and I'll type in terms like YouTube social media Creator  economy influencer marketing video marketing and I'll look at trending articles and headlines to identify things that I can Trend surf on for views additionally I recommend building your own mini network of handpicked creators you follow new sources that you follow related to your industry that can feed you inspirational video ideas and Trend surfing opportunities here's two questions to answer what creators and brands are known in your Niche for covering Trends and news and what are the best industry newsletters that you could sign up for so that in your inbox is hot Trend surfing information that can Inspire your next video idea and I think one of the important aspects of actually doing Trend surfing well is not simply reacting to news stories or headlines but to add your own perspective and Analysis while you're writing that Trend so we've just stumbled on a big key here by understanding how the YouTube algorithm works and strategically creating content around current events you can tap into a steady stream of views even if you'r  starting from scratch so you can grow to 1,000 subscribers and Beyond faster strategy number three Master Video.

Strategy 3 :


Packaging think about this if you're a brand new channel trying to get discovered trying to grow and YouTube starts to promote you and recommend your content to strangers on the different surfaces of discoverability on YouTube you don't want to waste that opportunity with sloppy video packaging so what is video packaging well it's really a combination of the topic of your video the title and the thumbnail that is presented to the viewer that gives them the opportunity to click if you were going to do it manually your goal would be to come up with the most powerful topic possible then to write a titlet hat creates curiosity and includes relevant keywords next you're going to want to design a thumbnail that stops the scroll and intrigues viewers to want to click in watch and then you don't want to take any shortcuts when it comes to optimizing your descriptions and your video script the actual words you say in your video now there are some cool ways to speed up the video optimization process and to create some shortcuts and so for that we're going to dive into vid IQ again so we'll go through this process again of topic title and thumbnail using some of these vid IQ tools and let's start with keywords so let's say we wanted to create a video about the benefits of caster oil and so I'm going to start with the keyword tool really from the topic strategy level because as soon as we start doing some keyword research we can see some related keywords that might actually inspire our next video idea for example casor oil for hair versus caster oil uses that might be a listicle video versus caster oil on the face so we actually might be inspired with topics here also as we scroll down we can see this area call d top trending videos for the benefits of caster oil and so this is going to shop us videos on YouTube that are count kind of like outliers like trending topics that could Inspire our next video idea but then after that we may want to start coming up with some specific titles so if we know that the video we're making is on the benefits of castor oil can actually use vid iq's AI coach to really refine the title of this video that we want to create so I'm going to say write 10 title ideas for a video on the benefits of caster oil now of course you could use something like chat GPT for this as well what we're seeing here with  vid IQ is we're seeing them leverage chat GPT as an engine but layering on top of that they're programming for this to be a YouTube based AI assistant and so it's kind of coming from that YouTube mindset and it's just one of the features that they've included here in this software so now we are really refining that packaging unlock the secret benefits of castor oil for your health why castor oil is a Game Changer for your skin and hair top 10 surprising benefits of castor oil you need to know so as you can see these are nuances of really dialing in what what is the topic of this video going to be how exactly do we want to craft the title to inspire the click and then of course we could go back over to outliers type in our benefits for caster oil idea and get some thumbnail inspiration from some of the top performing videos but next as we dive a little bit deeper here in packaging let's check out the generate video ideas tool the point of this is to streamline the entire video creation process and if we take our benefits of caster oil video idea what we could see here is it's going to give us some of the top related keywords a title written for us does casor oil actually work my 30-day experiment and results and then we have our description here as well as the tags that we could quickly copy and paste into the tag section of our video now we also see some thumbnail ideas these aren't going to be your final thumbnail the but the point here is to get some Shock composition and maybe some inspiration but this is really cool it is going to give you a starter hook I put castor oil to the test for 30 days and the results were mind-blowing you won't believe what happened as well as an outline for the video the hook the introduction present problems and challenges exploration and development the climax and the key moment the conclusion in the summary and your call to action and you can click generate script and it'll add in even more so here's the thing when it comes to cool AI tools like this it's not doing all the work for you in the sense of you don't have anything else to do or it's finalized content that's not going to need polish like you still got to get involved with your own unique style your own wisdom on the video but I think you can see how powerful this is and it really functions as a checklist and really as a starter to make sure that your packaging is cohesive using some of the other vid IQ tools you are ideating that really strong topic whether it's an outlier or a trending video idea you are dialing in a strong title you're getting inspired for what your thumbnail is going to look like you're even thinking about your script and then reinforcing the metadata which would include the tags and the description of your video now in just a second we have to hit strategy number four but in summary when it comes to video packaging remember you could do all of this stuff manually and if you want to tap into to software so you can go faster and really kind of have an unfair Advantage you can always check out vid IQ as well we'll link to it in the description down below and by the way there is a free version you might as well get the vid IQ Vision Google Chrome plugin because that'll give you all kinds of insights on not just your videos but on other people's videos but the vid IQ boost plan is the plan that I use and you actually can try it out for just $1 using my link and so I definitely think that is a great price if you don't like it you can always cancel but I think you'll find that just one or two video ideas and some help with strategy packaging and quickly optimizing your videos is well worth the investment into vid IQ and they just keep making it better every single day so we covered outliers we talked about Trend surfing we talked about mastering packaging but strategy number four is.
