Let’s cut to the chase. You just want to get more views without wasting time, money, and energy. But the game is on YouTube and you are wondering how you will get it, you will tip over those views to increase by just one. Maybe you are starving and desperate about this situation. The only person who knows the urgency of the situation is you.

Here are some of the ways to increase those YouTube views.

Have good content

This is one that is non-negotiable. When it comes to growing your YouTube channel, this must be your first step. If not, then how do you expect other people to like your channel when you are producing nonsense? Adopt the craftsman mindset and look into what you can offer the world rather than the other way around. You are either here to entertain or create value in people’s lives. Otherwise, you are just wasting your time.

Getting viewers to watch till the end

 

The YouTube algorithm is a strange thing. It might not care how good your content is. All it cares about is how long viewers spend time watching a video. And for that, YouTube has created a yardstick long enough that it has to matter for it to count as a view. The viewer has to watch all the way to the end. If not, you run the risk of being knocked out of the game.

One trick that you can use is to create a hook. Just like how great writers and novelists do, you have to initiate curiosity until the end.

Cut the crap

You have to see the world from the eyes of the viewer. And if you are honest enough with yourself, you will realize that they don’t have all the time in the world to perceive what you are trying to say. You’re to be concrete, concise, and clear about what you are saying. This means that the snipping tool in your video editing session is going to be used as much often as needed.

Use metadata to get recommended after a popular video

Views are also about the association. When popular videos are associated with your niche, then you have a higher chance of getting more videos as people will get curious about what this channel is all about. Imagine what could happen when they find out that you have even greater value to deliver. It can cause a serious spike in your views. That’s why you need to take point numbers really seriously.

Have a great thumbnail

A thumbnail refers to the text and image the viewer will see before clicking on a particular topic. This is mostly the visual part that appears after clicking on the search button. The thing is that your topic has to be relevant to the work you are doing. It also has to scream and stand out from all the other videos that exist. That means you select your words correctly and select a part of the video that shows what you are going to showcase.

This will create that immediate sense of urgency to click and continue to work on the curiosity of the viewer. It will also grow your YouTube channel.
