If you’ve ever felt like you’re feeling like the YouTube algorithm isn’t taking care of your less popular YouTube channel? It could be the case. But there’s also an easy way you can combat this. We set out to find the answer to why channels remain in a state without views. So we headed straight to the source . Oh my god it’s changed. The algorithm has changed. I’m not receiving the same number of views. – That’s Todd. He works for YouTube and is familiar with the YouTube algorithm to the palm of his hands. He’s also close to Mr. Beast. If anyone knows how to be to the top of YouTube algorithm, that’s going to be Todd. Todd actually provided us with five YouTube tips that you’re not going to hear in another YouTube algorithm-related video. His last suggestion that really threw me off. Trust me when I say. Follow these guidelines and follow them in order if would like your channel to become a major one. Do not ignore these guidelines or the YouTube algorithm might continue to ignore your channel. Let’s dive into the details. What creators have got wrong regarding their YouTube algorithm. The primary job that the algorithm has is to help the user whenever they show up. Many creators view things from the perspective of the creator. “Oh it’s okay I’m making videos, and then YouTube sends it to a plethora of users. Most of the time Search and recommendations don’t appear to be pushed out. They are taken away from users. Also, in this sense, it’s actually the YouTube viewer who is actually able to invoke this algorithm. YouTube algorithm.
But if this is true, how do you, as a creator, make sure that your content will show up? We look at the watch history as the primary indicator we have of the viewer in order to know what they’re likely to be interested in the next. We’re moving closer to the answer. Watch history is what you must be concerned about. If you’d like your video to be indexed from the YouTube algorithm it is essential to be able to access someone’s watch history. As we all know, this isn’t as easy to accomplish. If you have a few subscribers you’re probably aware that they’ll see your videos and consequently, you’ll be on their watch list. But what happens if you start with zero and the algorithm isn’t sure which person to pair your video with? If we’ve got no behavioral information We’ll probably depend more on metadata, the data we have as the title and description. I’d say that search is the most likely spot to find fresh videos. You upload a new video about Minecraft. We’ll consider the video as a result of a search for Minecraft by the description and title. Okay, so this can be helpful. YouTube will search your title as well as your description These are the factors you should be focusing on to get the new viewers, even though you’re beginning from scratch. Perhaps you think you’re already doing this , but yet you’re struggling. What else could be wrong? Todd offered an answer. I’d like to discourage creators from trying to competing in the most competitive areas around the globe. Instead of going for the Minecraft question for instance You might want to find an area of interest that isn’t being filled by millions of other videos. Take a look at the content that viewers are seeing and then consider where you create the most engaging video that is more effective than the existing ones because that’s where the potential is.
I’m awestruck by the fact that an employee of YouTube calls an ‘a spade’ here. YouTube is by nature a marketplace that is competitive. It’s a fact that at all times, the success you have on YouTube will be contingent on how your videos stand out against the competition you’re competing against. It would be wonderful if the high-quality videos produced by us could be competitive in any segment on YouTube however that’s not the way it is.
As creators, you have to be extremely careful and deliberate about the segment of YouTube you decide to venture into. There was a second thing that Todd stated that took me off guard. I wouldn’t count solely upon YouTube as the only method to get attention for your content. Find other sites that your content may be useful. It could be anything that is available on Facebook communities, Discord servers, Twitter etc. Seed your video into places that you can gain some history of your watch and get that signal going. – Todd has dispelled a major myth in this video. Contrary to popular opinion it is actually advisable to promote your short videos on different platforms, outside of YouTube. However, that does not mean that you have to be a regular visitor to every subreddit or Discord server you can find and send your video URLs all over the internet. Relevance is the most important factor in this case. You’ll want to go to places where your friends are gathering and offer clips and videos from your videos that could aid them in the issue they’re experiencing. If you decide to ignore this last piece of advice, I’d strongly advise that you do so because you might be paying for it. YouTube isn’t exactly will know which channel to pair it up with. Be mindful when sharing your content outside of YouTube. It’s time to work. I’m going to write three paragraphs. Don’t get cats. If you want to be YouTubers, that’s the correct advice. Don’t do it. For those who don’t like being able to share your video beyond YouTube and all that work, don’t fret. This isn’t something you need to be doing forever.
This is just an early stage of the journey in order to give the algorithm a push to move in the direction it should go. When you have a lot of people who have your videos on their watch history and are your ideal audience and have a high-quality video, the YouTube algorithm will step in and complete the process. This is a list of viable strategies to use.
