[0:00] YouTube Shorts just released a brand new
[0:01] algorithm update that completely changes
[0:03] everything. You need [music] to change
[0:04] the settings that you're using when you
[0:05] go to upload your content, the type of
[0:07] content that you're making, and what
[0:08] you're doing after your content stops
[0:10] getting views. And by the end of this
[0:11] video, you're going to know about all
[0:13] these changes and how you could use them
[0:15] to get more views, get more subscribers,
[0:17] and increase your odds of you going
[0:18] viral. In fact, I just helped this
[0:19] creator, this creator, and this creator
[0:22] gain over 100,000 subscribers on YouTube
[0:24] simply by implementing the tips that I'm
[0:26] about to share with you. Change number
[0:27] one is you need to make sure that you
[0:29] optimize the settings when you go to
[0:30] upload something on YouTube Shorts. And
[0:32] if you've messed up any of this before
[0:33] in the past, you need to go through on
[0:35] all of your past Shorts and fix this.
[0:38] Okay, so those first settings that you
[0:39] need to make sure are turned on, I'm
[0:40] going to show you in this video right
[0:42] here. So, the first one that you need to
[0:43] make sure are turned on going to be
[0:45] these two on the right-hand side right
[0:46] here. In fact, it's going to be two
[0:47] settings, not one. And then we're going
[0:49] to go through another one. So, first
[0:50] right here is subtitles. You want to
[0:51] make sure that when you click into this,
[0:53] that this has the subtitles from your
[0:55] content right here. Because if this
[0:57] doesn't have subtitles in here, one,
[0:58] it's actually going to decrease the
[0:59] amount of people that YouTube end up
[1:01] showing your video to. And two, it's
[1:02] actually going to affect your metadata.
[1:04] And ideally, what you want to find is in
[1:06] the first sentence of your subtitles
[1:08] right here, you want to make sure that
[1:09] if you actually look at this, we can see
[1:11] viral on TikTok. And then if we come
[1:13] over to the title of the video, you want
[1:14] to make sure it has the same exact
[1:16] keywords. Same exact thing here, viral
[1:18] on TikTok. And essentially, what that's
[1:19] doing is my title is then combining with
[1:22] my subtitles in order to tell YouTube
[1:24] what the video is actually about. And
[1:25] then YouTube shows the content ideally
[1:27] to the correct audience. In addition to
[1:29] that, you want to make sure that you
[1:30] have the related video filled out right
[1:32] here. Because you want people that watch
[1:34] this video to go watch another video.
[1:35] For example, this one was about going
[1:37] viral on TikTok. So, I might want to
[1:39] link this video to another video about
[1:41] the same exact topic. We come over here,
[1:43] type in viral on TikTok, we can see that
[1:45] I have a bunch of other content here. I
[1:46] might want to link it to this video. So,
[1:48] now they're going to watch my short-form
[1:49] video and then they'll watch our
[1:51] long-form video. The other setting that
[1:52] you need to make sure is enabled is if
[1:54] you come under languages right here, you
[1:55] want to make sure you have all of these
[1:57] different language published right here.
[1:59] We can see that I have tons of them.
[2:00] It's being translated to Russian. It's
[2:03] being translated to Spanish, Portuguese,
[2:06] Polish, Korean, Japan, Italian. It's
[2:09] being translated to all these different
[2:10] languages. And what this ends up doing
[2:12] is actually increase the odds that my
[2:14] content gets shown to more people than
[2:16] just people that speak English. And this
[2:18] is one of the biggest hacks, one of the
[2:19] biggest tricks right now to getting more
[2:20] views on YouTube Shorts.
[2:23] Change number two is you need to make
[2:24] sure that you're optimizing your
[2:25] thumbnails before anything else. Because
[2:27] in the past, 90% of views came from the
[2:30] Shorts feed for YouTube Shorts, but this
[2:32] is now all completely changing. A lot of
[2:34] that reach is now coming from LLMs like
[2:36] ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok. In addition to
[2:39] that, your content is showing up inside
[2:41] of Google search results and on browse
[2:43] features, which is going to be the
[2:44] homepage and search results on YouTube,
[2:47] which makes your thumbnail more
[2:48] important than ever before. Because
[2:50] guess what? If your thumbnail's not
[2:51] optimized, somebody's not going to click
[2:53] and then as a result, you're not going
[2:54] to get the views that you deserve. And
[2:55] the YouTube algorithm's going to say,
[2:57] "Hey, nobody's clicking on this
[2:58] creator's videos. Let's not push out his
[3:00] channel." So, to prove to you just how
[3:02] powerful adding a custom thumbnail is, I
[3:04] actually want to show you this. So, if
[3:05] we look up how to add a thumbnail to
[3:07] YouTube Shorts and we come over here, we
[3:09] can see that an ad gets shown and then a
[3:11] bunch of Shorts content. Now, if we look
[3:13] at the Shorts that are getting the most
[3:14] views, 1.2 million, 400,000, 200,000,
[3:18] 1.3 million, 500,000. So, the one that
[3:20] got the most views is this one right
[3:22] here and we can see that the reason that
[3:23] it got the most views, and this is
[3:24] actually my video, is because I have
[3:26] this arrow actually pointing here. And
[3:28] we can see this isn't the actual way
[3:30] that the video starts off because I
[3:32] added this custom thumbnail right here.
[3:34] Now, in order to do this, you need to do
[3:35] this from a mobile device. You're going
[3:37] to upload your YouTube Short from a
[3:38] mobile device and you're literally going
[3:39] to see what you actually see in this
[3:40] thumbnail right here. You click on that
[3:42] pencil and then you can choose any part
[3:44] of the video in order to actually turn
[3:45] that into the thumbnail. If we look
[3:47] right here, they did something pretty
[3:49] similar to mine. And guess what? That's
[3:50] why these two videos are getting the
[3:52] most views under here. This one is a
[3:54] custom thumbnail, not as good though.
[3:55] This one isn't a custom thumbnail. This
[3:57] one isn't a custom thumbnail. That's why
[3:59] those videos didn't get as many views as
[4:01] they could have gotten if they edited in
[4:03] a custom thumbnail. So, please make sure
[4:05] that you are adding these in. It will
[4:06] increase your reach. And change number
[4:08] three is you need to make sure that
[4:10] you're going through and actually
[4:11] finding breakout videos inside of your
[4:13] niche for you to be able to recreate
[4:15] them. And there's a new AI tool that
[4:16] makes this incredibly easy to do. Now,
[4:19] the way that you can actually go and do
[4:20] that is using VidIQ. So, if we come over
[4:22] to VidIQ right here and we come over
[4:24] into outliers, we can see right here
[4:26] that this is automatically set to my
[4:28] niche and it's showing me outliers for
[4:30] my niche. Or if I wanted to, I could
[4:32] search for things. For example, maybe
[4:33] I'm looking up TikTok algorithm and we
[4:34] can see this is then going to find me
[4:36] outliers. And we can see that it can
[4:38] find me outlier long-form content. It
[4:40] can find me outlier Shorts right here.
[4:42] It could go through and find me outlier
[4:44] thumbnails right here. And it can
[4:46] actually find me breakout channels. And
[4:48] what you're going to notice here is that
[4:50] this will actually go through and show
[4:52] you which channels are getting the most
[4:53] views in your niche that are breakout
[4:55] channels, which thumbnails are working
[4:57] the best for whatever topic you are
[4:58] uploading on, what Shorts are working
[5:00] the best, and what long-form content.
[5:02] And what you should ideally be doing is
[5:04] using this every single time that you go
[5:06] to actually look for something. And what
[5:08] I would do is sort this by highest views
[5:10] per hour. And this is going to reveal to
[5:12] you what topics are getting the most
[5:14] views for whatever you want to actually
[5:17] post about or whatever your niche is so
[5:19] that you actually know exactly what to
[5:20] post. In fact, using this and making
[5:22] this one change could be the difference
[5:24] between you getting millions of views or
[5:26] you being stuck with low views on
[5:27] YouTube Shorts. In addition to that
[5:29] though, you also want to use this
[5:30] optimize feature right here. This is
[5:31] going to allow you to go through with
[5:33] your long-form content or with your
[5:34] Shorts content and actually optimize all
[5:36] of your videos. For example, let's say
[5:38] this video didn't get as many views as I
[5:40] thought it should get, we could actually
[5:41] click on this right here and it will go
[5:42] through and give us different title
[5:44] suggestions. It'll give us different SEO
[5:47] suggestions. It'll actually review our
[5:49] video and tell us what we could have
[5:51] changed about the content. And this
[5:52] right here is the biggest secret to
[5:53] actually doing what the YouTube Shorts
[5:55] algorithm wants. Because you need to be
[5:57] looking at these outlier videos. You
[5:58] need to be optimizing all of your old
[6:00] content. You could go through and do
[6:01] this for all of your content to
[6:03] skyrocket your reach.
[6:05] Now, the best part about VidIQ is you
[6:06] can go to the pinned comment below and
[6:07] get started with it today for only $1. I
[6:10] would have never gained over 800,000
[6:11] subscribers if it wasn't for VidIQ. And
[6:13] this is going to be your secret weapon
[6:15] too because they release new features
[6:17] literally every single week and they
[6:18] make it way easier for you to grow
[6:20] faster on YouTube, go viral on YouTube.
[6:22] And again, I have an exclusive offer at
[6:23] the pinned comment below where you can
[6:25] get started today for only $1. It's an
[6:27] absolute no-brainer if you're serious
[6:29] about growing on YouTube. Change number
[6:31] four is you need to change the strategy
[6:33] that you're currently implementing on
[6:34] YouTube. When you come across a video
[6:36] idea that's actually worth making, you
[6:37] should ideally be doing two to three
[6:39] different videos on it and not only
[6:41] relying on one video because it might be
[6:43] your hook, might be your length, might
[6:44] be something else that actually leads to
[6:46] you getting more views on YouTube. In
[6:47] fact, I want to prove this to you by
[6:49] showing you how I do this on my own
[6:51] channel. Okay, so here's how I'm
[6:53] actually doing this. Let's say that we
[6:54] come over to my Shorts and we type in
[6:55] something like YouTube setting. Guess
[6:57] what we are going to see? We're going to
[6:58] see this video, 3,000 views, 8,000,
[7:01] 16,000, 15,000, 900,000. If we scroll
[7:04] down, 2.9 million, 180,000, 16,000 on
[7:08] the same exact topic right here. I've
[7:09] uploaded several videos and several of
[7:11] them have gone viral. Or maybe we come
[7:13] over here and we type in YouTube
[7:15] algorithm. What are we going to notice?
[7:17] 4,000 11,000 5,000 120,000 91,000
[7:21] 33,000. You don't get to decide which
[7:24] video you make on a topic is going to
[7:26] actually go viral. But what you do get
[7:27] to decide is how many times you actually
[7:29] swing at that pitch, aka that video
[7:32] topic. Let's come over here, best time
[7:35] to post. What are we going to see? We
[7:37] are going to see that again several
[7:39] videos. 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, 18,000,
[7:43] 120,000. And ideally, what you should be
[7:46] doing is doing the same strategy as me.
[7:48] You should be making multiple videos for
[7:50] each topic that you deem as a good
[7:52] topic. Because you never know which one
[7:53] of these videos is going to end up
[7:55] taking off. You just know that that
[7:56] topic is going to be good. So, if you
[7:58] actually swing and you miss, guess what?
[8:00] Just swing again. That's a great thing
[8:02] about YouTube is these videos are free
[8:04] to make. They're free to upload and you
[8:05] can just keep uploading until you have a
[8:07] video actually do well for whatever
[8:09] topic your ideal audience wants to see.
[8:11] We come over here and type in hashtag,
[8:12] we see the same thing. These videos have
[8:14] done solid, but if we scroll down a
[8:16] little, 160,000, 800,000, 60,000. There
[8:19] are so many videos and so much
[8:21] opportunity that you need to make sure
[8:23] you're doing this. Now, that last change
[8:25] you need to make sure that you're making
[8:26] is when you go to upload a YouTube
[8:27] Short, you need to make sure that you're
[8:29] actually creating a Short that's the
[8:30] right length. And now YouTube actually
[8:32] shows you what length you should make
[8:33] your content. Check this out.
[8:36] Now, the way that you're going to
[8:36] actually do this is you're going to come
[8:38] over into your YouTube analytics right
[8:40] here. You are going to click on trends
[8:41] and whatever topic you were going to
[8:43] upload on. For example, we could come
[8:44] over here and we could type in YouTube
[8:46] algorithm or even I'll type in YouTube
[8:48] Shorts algorithm. Let's say that I was
[8:49] going to make a short-form piece of
[8:50] content about this. What I would do is I
[8:52] would type this in right here. Under
[8:54] what people are watching, you want to
[8:55] click on show all. You want to come
[8:57] under Shorts. This will show you what's
[8:59] doing the best. We can see 13 seconds, 5
[9:01] seconds, 15, 21, 7, 47. So, the majority
[9:05] of videos that are doing well under this
[9:07] are anywhere from 7 to 21 seconds long.
[9:09] So, if I was making a video about this
[9:11] topic, I would also want to make it
[9:12] short. But let's say that we come over
[9:14] here and we type in something like
[9:15] ChatGPT hacks, we're going to find
[9:17] something completely different. If we
[9:18] come under here, 1 minute, 46 seconds,
[9:21] 57 seconds, 41, 20, 56. So, the best
[9:24] videos under here are anywhere from 40
[9:26] seconds to 1 minute long. So, depending
[9:28] on what topic you're going to upload,
[9:30] even if it's inside of the same niche,
[9:31] it's going to change how long you should
[9:33] be making your videos. And that's why
[9:35] you need to be going through and looking
[9:36] at this before you upload any piece of
[9:38] content. Because making content that's
[9:40] the wrong length could be the reason
[9:42] that you're not getting the views that
[9:43] you want. You could have done everything
[9:44] else right that I've shared with you in
[9:46] this video, but you're simply making
[9:47] content that's not the right length. And
[9:49] as a result, you don't get the views you
[9:50] want. Now, if you enjoyed this video and
[9:52] you want to learn how you can get more
[9:53] subscribers on YouTube fast, I would
[9:55] strongly suggest you check out this
[9:56] video right here that walks you through
[9:58] with bunch of different changes that you
[10:00] need to make sure that you're
[10:00] implementing in order to get more
[10:02] subscribers faster on YouTube right now.
[10:04] If that's something that's interesting,
