10 TIPS to help you increase your visits on YouTube:

YouTube Algorithm: How does it work?


Before we go into the "Tips on how to increase the views on our videos on YouTube", it
is important to know how the algorithm of the platform works. It is in this way that we will be
able to study all the strategies to increase the ratings in your channel.
People around the world spend a total average of a billion hours watching YouTube videos.
The YouTube algorithm is the recommendation system that decides which videos will be
shown to the more than 2 billion users.

How does this algorithm work?


The YouTube algorithm basically selects the videos to show to users with two objectives.
The first one is to find the right video for each viewer, so that they can be trapped into
watching them later on.

This algorithm is mainly based on two selection or discovery systems. One of them
selects videos for the homepage and another one selects suggested videos for viewers to
watch next. The homepage and suggested videos have become the main sources of
traffic for most channels, but what factors does the platform determine to rank these
videos?

Each traffic source is slightly different. But what is certain is that both directly affect the view
count through: Personalization (Viewer history and preferences) Video performance and
external factors.

These tips will help you to increase your YouTube views.

1. Make sure all keywords are linked to Google.


A YouTube channel with millions of views starts with good SEO. All this is achieved by
understanding each of the viewers perfectly. Many users do not directly search for videos on
YouTube, they mostly use Google to start the search. As a result, Google has now
prioritized video over any other search content.

There aren't really exact keywords that will help you increase views. But with a little research
you can find the words that work best for you depending on your content type.

2. Your videos should have concise and descriptive titles.


The first thing users will see when they come across your content is the title. Your job is to
grab them and not let them pass by. Try to always keep titles short and sweet -the most
viewed videos on YouTube tend to have very short titles.- Always stay within the 60-
character limit. If you go over, your title could be cut off.
Of course, your keywords should be in the first half of the title. Many users focus only
on the beginning of the sentence and skip the rest. Finally, be very careful with Clickbait.
This strategy is often very tempting, but it could damage the reputation of the channel in the
future.

3. Design very creative and original thumbnails:


Although it may not seem like it, thumbnails do count and in some cases much more
than the title. Our brain is designed to notice visual elements, so a good thumbnail can
quickly lead new audiences towards your content.

Although YouTube automatically creates thumbnails for all videos, they are not very eye-
catching. So if you want to give a good boost to your views, create a fully customized
thumbnail.

4. Pay close attention to your profile.


Many people overlook this section. An attractive profile is undoubtedly a way to promote
your channel and make your SEO more effective. To do this, it is ideal to always be
consistent. This can be achieved by using the same writing style and branding as other
associated channels. Don't forget to include keywords and always include contact
information.

5. Don't forget to optimize your video descriptions.


The description of your video is very important so it is important that you pay a lot of
attention to it. Make sure to put your keywords at the beginning of the description and stay
within the 5,000 character limit.

You can also help viewers find what they are looking for through a content page. Direct
viewers to other of your videos with links to the most relevant playlists.

7. Your videos should be of high quality:


A video with minimal quality can overshadow even the best content. Make sure your video
looks a little more professional before you post it. Do a sound check before you start,
use a decent camera and learn some editing skills. Believe me, they will help you a lot.
8. Interact with your community:
Interacting with your audience doesn't end with the creation of your content. Many
YouTubers interact with their followers. Respond to comments, even negative ones, or
post video responses. By doing so, you show affection towards your followers, and they will
appreciate seeing more of your videos.

9. Engage with content creators in your niche market:


One of YouTube's goals towards content creators is to build a community within the
platform, that's why YouTube tries to find your niche market and make you part of it.

Subscribe to channels whose followers are similar to yours. Watch their videos, share their
content, write positive comments. This will not only help you meet content creators similar to
you, it will also help you reach more viewers.

10. If you are going to work with brands, do it authentically.


When entering into any partnership, try to do it in the best possible way. Identify brands that
reflect your personality and the specific needs of your audience. Inauthentic videos can
have negative rather than positive effects.

11. Create a playlist:


If you want viewers to see a lot of your content, a great way to do this is through a playlist.
Collections can be addictive for many users. For YouTube a very good playlist with
keywords is a candidate to appear in the suggested videos of the platform.

11. Attract viewers from elsewhere:


Views that do not come directly from the YouTube algorithm can also have a positive impact
on your channel. Examples are external sites, cross-promotion on social media, and partner
channels or YouTube ads. All these strategies can increase your number of views and
followers.
And finally, these are the strategies to increase views that are NOT
allowed by YouTube. Pay close attention!
YouTube does not take a very good view of all those services that try to increase the number
of views in an automated way. You cannot increase viewers through:

- Buying views from external websites.


- Fraudulent designs on third-party sites, which trick viewers into playing the video by
clicking on unrelated elements.
- Posting some kind of underlying window.
- Redirecting the user, which happens when the URL changes and sends them to a
new page.

Time to get to work!


With over a billion hours of video viewed per day on this popular platform. There is no
disputing the benefits that can be gained from posting a video on YouTube. Both content
creators and brand owners should take advantage of this platform to increase their audience
and attract potential customers.

Once you are aware of the YouTube algorithm and understand how it works, creating
strategies to increase views on the platform is a piece of cake. What are you waiting for to
give it a try!?
