[0:00] YouTube just released a brand new shorts [0:01] algorithm that completely changes [0:03] everything because now they're using AI [0:04] in order to actually monitor your [0:06] content to determine whether or not they [0:07] should push it out. They change the [0:09] [music] settings that you need to make [0:10] sure are turned on and so much more. And [0:11] if you simply adapt to the changes that [0:13] I share with you in this video, it's [0:14] easier than ever before for you to be [0:16] able to get subscribers on YouTube. In [0:17] fact, I just helped this creator, this [0:19] creator, and this creator get over [0:21] 100,000 subscribers on YouTube by simply [0:23] implementing what I'm going to share [0:24] with you. Change number one that YouTube [0:26] has now implemented is now they're using [0:28] Gemini to actually watch your content [0:30] before they ever upload it. And [0:31] essentially the way that this works is [0:33] that Gemini is a multimodal model. If [0:35] you don't know what Gemini is, it's [0:36] basically YouTube's version of ChatGPT [0:39] or Google's version of ChatGPT. And [0:40] Google owns YouTube. So now what they're [0:42] doing is they're running your content [0:44] through that before your content ever [0:45] gets posted. And what they're looking [0:47] for is alignment on three things. First [0:49] and foremost, they want to make sure [0:51] that whatever you're creating content [0:52] about, you are actually showing in the [0:54] video. For example, if I was making [0:55] content about an iPhone, I'd want to [0:58] make sure that I actually show an [0:59] iPhone. And you need to make sure that [1:01] you're doing this in the beginning of [1:02] your content. In fact, the first three [1:04] to five seconds is really where they're [1:05] looking for whether or not you're [1:06] showing whatever you're actually [1:08] telling. In addition to that, they want [1:09] to make sure that the text that you have [1:11] on the screen, which yes, their AI model [1:13] can also see, matches the text that [1:16] they're going to find in the title of [1:17] your video, in the description of your [1:19] video, in the subtitles of your video, [1:21] and in the tags of your video. And then [1:23] the other thing that they're looking for [1:24] is they want to make sure that your [1:25] content isn't just a carbon copy of [1:28] somebody else's content because if [1:29] you're not providing people information [1:31] on a topic, well, guess what? Your [1:33] content isn't going to get pushed out. [1:35] What I'm saying is that you need to make [1:36] sure that you can still create content [1:39] about topics that are popular in your [1:40] niche or topics that are outliers or [1:42] that are trending in your niche. But you [1:43] need to make sure that whatever you're [1:45] actually saying about that topic is [1:47] going to be something that's new because [1:49] otherwise YouTube's going to say, "Hey, [1:51] we have 100,000 people interested in [1:53] this, but they've already seen this [1:54] information. So if they get shown this [1:56] information again, they're going to get [1:57] bored, they're not going to watch us, [1:59] and then they'll just stop pushing out [2:00] your content." This brings me to change [2:02] number two, which is kind of [2:03] piggybacking on that point. And that is [2:05] that you can't just upload content that [2:07] already exists on YouTube now. So you [2:09] can't repost content, you can't take [2:11] somebody else's content, and you can't [2:13] just take somebody's content and change [2:15] the script a little bit. You need to [2:16] make sure that you're actually giving [2:18] YouTube new information. And I actually [2:21] have a really easy way for you to be [2:22] able to do this by leveraging AI. Check [2:25] this out. So, let's say for argument's [2:27] sake that I wanted to recreate this [2:28] video right here about the five best [2:30] online business ideas for 2026. What I [2:32] would do is I would come over to ChatGPT [2:34] right here, or you could use Claude or [2:36] any other AI that you want, and you [2:38] could say, "I want to create a YouTube [2:41] video on this topic." And then you're [2:43] going to put in the title right here, [2:45] and we're going to say, "But I want to [2:47] include completely different [2:50] information." And then what you're going [2:52] to do is you're going to get the [2:53] transcript of this video. You're going [2:55] to put this in here and say, "I want you [2:57] to give me different information than [2:59] other people have thought of." Or what [3:00] you could do is just say, "I want you to [3:03] give me five things that aren't popular, [3:06] but would appeal to a very large [3:10] audience." Now, what this is going to do [3:12] is this is going to give you other [3:13] things that aren't going to be things [3:15] that are really popular. For example, AI [3:18] inbox manager, it literally goes through [3:19] everything that you could do here. [3:21] Personal AI setup, goes through [3:23] everything that you could do here. And [3:24] basically, you want to use AI in order [3:27] to be able to uncover things that other [3:28] people haven't spoken about on YouTube. [3:30] Because if you're just copying what [3:31] other people have already spoken about [3:33] on YouTube, it's going to increase the [3:34] odds that YouTube actually flags your [3:35] content and says, "Hey, this isn't [3:37] original content. We're not going to [3:39] push this out because we already have [3:40] two creators, three creators, 10 [3:42] creators that have said the same exact [3:44] thing." That's what you're trying to [3:45] prevent, especially as YouTube rolls out [3:47] more and more of their AI systems that [3:49] are going to be detecting these things [3:51] and are going to be blocking content [3:52] that is low quality. [3:54] Change number three is you need to make [3:56] sure that you're not only relying on [3:58] YouTube to push out your content because [4:00] there's so many other ways for you to [4:01] actually push out your YouTube channel. [4:03] And guess what? None of these really [4:04] require doing that which work. But I do [4:07] want to warn you, there's a right way to [4:08] do this, and there is a wrong way to do [4:10] this. So I want to show you the wrong [4:12] way, I want to show you the right way, [4:13] and then I want to show you how I'd [4:14] actually do this. [4:16] Okay, so the wrong way for you to [4:17] promote your YouTube channel is doing [4:19] what Dr. Jones is doing right here. We [4:20] could see it has youtube.drjonesdc. [4:22] This is at the end of his description. [4:24] This isn't really helping. The other way [4:26] that would be the wrong way to promote [4:28] your YouTube channel is if you put a [4:29] link to a YouTube video in your bio, or [4:32] if you just put your YouTube channel in [4:33] your bio. Instead, you want to do what [4:35] this creator does right here. If we come [4:37] over into their content, for example, [4:39] this video right here, we could see in [4:41] their description they have this right [4:43] here. "Start at the start here playlist [4:45] on my YouTube channel, or go to the 100% [4:49] free course." And then we could see [4:50] right here, "Search baddie and business [4:52] torrent." So actually, if we grab this [4:54] right here, and we come over to YouTube [4:57] and we do a search for this, here's the [4:58] experience that we're going to have. [5:00] When we do this, we're going to see a [5:02] bunch of their viral videos. We could [5:04] see that they recently dropped this [5:05] video. We could click on their channel. [5:07] We could come over into their playlists, [5:09] and we could see that they have all [5:10] these playlists about how to get [5:11] started, and a ton of people are [5:13] actually coming to these. In fact, [5:14] playlists on YouTube don't get a lot of [5:16] views unless you drive people there. We [5:18] could see this right here, 14 people [5:20] every single hour are coming over here [5:22] and watching this. I know that that [5:24] doesn't sound like a lot. But if we [5:25] actually click into this playlist right [5:27] here, we could see that all of these [5:29] videos are going viral. And more [5:31] importantly than going viral, I bet that [5:33] all of these videos are making this [5:34] creator a ton of money because she is [5:37] actually directing people to a very [5:38] specific place instead of just saying [5:41] type in my YouTube channel. Because what [5:43] if other people made content under that [5:44] or something along the lines of that, [5:46] they might not actually go to your [5:48] specific channel. And you want to make [5:50] sure that they're searching for it, not [5:51] just going in and trying to find your [5:53] channel because they might not be able [5:54] to find it. Now, if you want to make [5:56] doing this as easy as humanly possible, [5:58] I would strongly suggest that you use [6:00] Metricool because Metricool's going to [6:01] allow you to publish your content to [6:04] YouTube shorts, Instagram, to Facebook, [6:06] to TikTok, to almost every single social [6:07] media platform you could think of, all [6:09] from one click. On top of that, they're [6:11] the only platform I've ever used that [6:13] doesn't actually decrease your views [6:15] when you schedule out your content. And [6:17] if you go to the pinned comment below [6:18] right now, you could get 30 days free [6:20] access to any of Metricool's premium [6:21] plans with code Robert. In addition to [6:24] letting you schedule out content and put [6:26] content across all these different [6:27] platforms, they also make it incredibly [6:29] easy for you to be able to figure out [6:30] exactly what's trending in your niche, [6:32] and you could respond to all your [6:34] comments and all your DMs from all these [6:35] different platforms from one place, so [6:37] you never miss a message that your [6:39] audience sends you. So what are you [6:40] waiting for? If you want to grow faster [6:42] on YouTube while spending less time [6:43] creating content, I would strongly [6:45] suggest you go to the pinned comment [6:46] below and get started with Metricool [6:48] today. Again, use code Robert for 30 [6:50] days free access to any of their premium [6:52] plans. [6:53] Now, change number four is you need to [6:54] make sure that you stop YouTube from [6:56] auto dubbing your content into any [6:58] languages that are destroying your [6:59] views. And I can pretty much guarantee [7:01] you that this is probably happening on [7:03] your channel, so you need to make sure [7:04] that you stop everything right now, see [7:06] what I'm about to show you, then look [7:08] into this for yourself. Okay, so in [7:10] order to actually figure this out, you [7:11] want to come over into your analytics. [7:13] From here, you want to click on advanced [7:15] mode. You're now going to come over into [7:17] breakdown right here. You're going to [7:18] click on geography, and this is going to [7:20] show you who is actually watching your [7:22] content the most right here. So if we [7:24] come over here, we could see average [7:26] view duration 46 seconds. Now, this is [7:28] including both long-form content and [7:30] shorts, which is why it's showing so [7:31] low. But we could see right here that [7:33] the United States watches my content for [7:35] 59 seconds. India watches my content for [7:38] 30 seconds. The Philippines, 38 seconds. [7:41] And if we scroll down a little bit, we [7:42] could also see that some other countries [7:44] are really poor like Nepal or [7:47] Bangladesh. And I'm not saying poor [7:48] monetarily, I'm saying poor in terms of [7:50] watch time. So if we actually come over [7:52] here, what we're going to notice is if [7:54] we come over into one of my videos, for [7:56] example, this video right here, and we [7:58] come over into languages, we could see [8:00] right here that we have all of these [8:03] different audios that my content is [8:04] being published in Arabic, it's being [8:06] published in Dutch, it's being published [8:08] in French, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian. So [8:12] what I want to make sure that I do is [8:14] actually want to look at those analytics [8:15] and see if there are any countries that [8:17] are really holding things back. Because [8:19] the last thing that you want to do is [8:20] have one of these languages turned on. [8:22] In fact, you could literally just come [8:23] over here and unpublish it or delete it, [8:25] and it will stop YouTube from serving [8:27] content to those people. Because what [8:29] you don't want to happen is for YouTube [8:30] to be showing your content to a specific [8:33] language, it lower your average view [8:35] duration or lower your click-through [8:37] rate, and then as a result, YouTube [8:38] thinks that your video wasn't good, and [8:40] they stop pushing it out. That is the [8:42] last thing that you want to happen. So [8:44] please make sure that you're going [8:45] through, you're fixing these, and you're [8:47] adjusting these. Because if you're not, [8:48] this could silently be holding your [8:50] content back, and I see this happening [8:52] to so many people's channels. Change [8:54] number five is that thumbnails on [8:55] YouTube are quietly becoming the most [8:57] important part of you getting views on [8:59] YouTube. Because here's the deal. In the [9:00] past, the main thing that required you [9:03] to get views from a YouTube short was [9:05] one, that people watch your video past [9:07] the first three seconds, aka they didn't [9:09] swipe away, and two, that your average [9:11] view duration was high. But now we have [9:13] a problem because YouTube shorts are now [9:15] getting shown in Google search results, [9:17] they're getting shown in Gemini, inside [9:19] of ChatGPT, on the homepage, inside of [9:22] search. And now guess what? This [9:24] introduces a new metric that YouTube [9:26] needs to care about because before [9:28] somebody ever gets a chance to swipe [9:30] away from your video or they ever get a [9:32] chance to watch your video all the way [9:34] through, they're now going to have to [9:35] click on your video, which silently made [9:37] YouTube thumbnails more important than [9:39] ever before. So I want to show you a few [9:41] examples of how you can do this [9:43] correctly. Now, the first example of [9:45] this that I want to show you is actually [9:46] going to be looking up something like [9:48] how to upload a YouTube thumbnail. So we [9:49] could see right here that all these [9:50] videos have done pretty well, but this [9:52] one right here has a custom thumbnail. [9:54] And look at it, it got 1.4 million [9:56] views, which is quite frankly almost [9:58] more views than every single other video [10:00] here. Reason for that is because they [10:01] put text here that says how to change [10:03] your YouTube Shorts thumbnail and they [10:05] circled it in bright green. That [10:07] captures people's attention and it makes [10:09] them think, "Hey, I need to click on [10:10] this." Now, if we come over here and [10:12] type in something like YouTube settings, [10:14] we could see something very similar [10:15] here. This video right here crushed it. [10:17] It's actually my video that got 3.3 [10:19] million views because I did the same [10:20] thing. I pointed with my finger. I have [10:23] bright red text. This creator right here [10:25] did something similar, but they're just [10:26] showing their laptop. And this one right [10:28] here has Mr. Beast, which is why it did [10:30] well. And this one right here also [10:32] pointing their finger, it just wasn't as [10:34] bright, so you could see that these [10:36] different types of formats that capture [10:37] people's attention do lead to people [10:39] getting more views. And if we come over [10:41] here, we could see the same thing with [10:43] squats right here. We have a squat [10:44] checklist right here. Captures people's [10:46] attention. We have this woman. Looks [10:48] like she's not actually squatting [10:50] correctly and green check mark, which [10:52] captures people's attention. And then [10:53] fix your squat mistakes also has this [10:55] red. So, you can see that the creators [10:57] that are getting the most views are [10:59] choosing a very specific frame inside of [11:02] their content. They're adding in very [11:04] bright colors. And this is all capturing [11:06] people's attention to increase the odds [11:08] that people click on the video. As a [11:09] result, they watch your video and the [11:11] YouTube algorithm pushes out your [11:12] content more. Now, if you enjoyed this [11:14] video and you don't still have your [11:16] first 1,000 subscribers on YouTube, I [11:18] would strongly suggest you check out [11:19] this video right here that walks you [11:21] through how you could get 1,000 [11:22] subscribers on YouTube in 24 hours or [11:24] less. That sounds interesting. I'll see [11:26] you over there.
