AI Summary

The video addresses content creators who blame external factors for low view counts, emphasizing personal responsibility. It outlines five reasons for poor performance: boring storytelling, poor sound design, bad clip selection, ineffective camera presence, and lack of self-marketing. The creator stresses improving content quality over quantity and offers practical tips for each area.

[00:02]
Mindset: Take Responsibility

Creators who blame the platform, audience, or luck will never succeed. Successful people take responsibility and analyze their failures to improve.

[00:47]
Reason 1: Boring Story

The first reason for low views is a boring story. The video implies that storytelling is crucial to retain viewer interest.

[01:10]
Sound Frequencies and Pacing

Remove gaps between words to improve pacing. Stick words together within a point, but leave a quarter or third of a second pause when changing topics.

[02:05]
Three Types of Sound

Background music, ambient sounds (environmental), and sound effects (like risers, echoes, whooshes) are used to immerse viewers and manage attention span.

[03:22]
Using Sound Effects

The creator uses many sounds, available on the TV broadcasting website (likely Beth Duty), to create atmosphere and keep the boredom timer from running out.

[03:46]
Reason 3: Clip Selection

Choosing good clips (images, videos, memes) is crucial. Many YouTubers use gaming clips with commentary, and even Mr. Beast started that way. Shots are important for catching the viewer's eye.

[05:02]
Importance of Writing/Text

Adding text manually or via AI helps viewers understand and watch simultaneously. It's important to include writing with footage.

[05:14]
Reason 4: Talking to the Camera

Tone of voice, hand movements, eye contact, and lighting are vital. Use a voice changer if needed, and ensure good lighting for a good impression.

[06:07]
Reason 5: Marketing Yourself

Instead of showing videos to family, share them in Facebook groups, Reddit communities, and Discord servers to reach the target audience directly. Small Discord servers are better for engagement.

[07:46]
Bonus: Text and Improvement

Include text in videos. Focus on improving content quality before increasing quantity. The creator invites viewers to share their channels for feedback.

To succeed on YouTube, creators must take full responsibility for their results and focus on improving storytelling, sound, clips, camera presence, and marketing. Quality improvement should precede quantity, and leveraging communities like Facebook groups can provide valuable support.

[00:02] video is specifically for the kind of people if they don't get views, don't look for the reasons why. They others, saying things like, "It's the platform's fault," or "It's the people's fault," or "I'm unlucky," or "I do

[00:17] n't have support," or "I don't have money." These people will never succeed in life. And this isn't just true in the world of content creation; it's true in everything. For that the weak, noob who doesn't know how to play is always making excuses. They keep saying, "It's the game's fault," or "It's the

[00:32] skilled player always wants to improve. They take responsibility and start looking for what went wrong. They ask, "Why did n't I get views?" or "Why didn't it work for me?" If you want to succeed in life, or to succeed... In content creation and in any field, it's essential to have this mindset. If things are n't working out for you, there's a 100% reason. In other words,

[00:47] if you're not getting views, the fault is 100% yours. So, let's start with the five points. The first reason you're not getting views is that your story is boring. getting views is that your story is boring.

[01:10] sound frequencies. If you see any gaps between words, you remove them. This significantly improves your video. It's crucial to observe how you phras your videos and how others do it—

[01:23] how they connect the words. This doesn't mean you have to go through every single word. You're sticking things together in places where they shouldn't be. There are places where you need to space out the words so you know when to space them out and when to stick them together. The video is made like an Arabic article.

[01:37] words are always consecutive, but when the topic or the entire paragraph changes, they put a period or a comma. So when you go from point one to point two, there needs to be a space so the viewer understands that you jumped from one point to another. But when you're speaking at the same point, the

[01:51] words should be stuck together. Always stick the words together and keep them following one another until you change the topic, at which point you need to leave a space of about a quarter of a second or a third of a second. Now, the Sound comes in three forms. The first form is music, like the

[02:05] music that's put in the background, which is called background music. The second type is called amps in English. Ambient means the sound of the environment, like the sound of fun, the sound of horror, or the sound of the beach. Any sound that creates a specific atmosphere is called ambient sound. The

[02:19] third type of sound is sound effects, like what's called a riser. This is when a sound rises and rises and then suddenly drops. It's used to build excitement, like when someone is telling you what's going to happen and then gives you the clear sound.

[02:31] Besides risers, there's the echo sound effect, and there's even a sound called "wh," which is the sound of movement. Sounds like pops are very important. The main use of sound is to immerse you in the atmosphere. That's why Abu Al- Rab and Abu Falah's

[02:44] videos are so successful. If you watch any 30 seconds of Ahmed Abu Al- Rab and Abu Falah's videos, you'll find that every 30 seconds they use a new sound and many sound effects. These sound effects make you get into the atmosphere of the video.

[02:56] There's also a bigger reason why I use sounds, and that's for attention span. Attention span is like your boredom timer. As a viewer, you have a boredom timer; if you watch 30 seconds of nothing happening in the video, you'll get bored and lose interest. To keep this

[03:09] timer going, they play a funny sound followed by a scary one. To see for yourself, or rather, to hear it with your ears, go watch any of Abu Falah's or Abu Al-Rub's videos. You'll see how they constantly change the sounds, keeping your boredom timer going.

[03:22] Personally, I use a lot of sounds in my videos, and I've put them all on the TV broadcasting website. If you go to the broadcasting website and open the editing section, go to the sounds. You'll find many meme sounds and sound effects. These sounds are very useful for creating the

[03:34] atmosphere of any video you want. It's nice, like the sound of a shock or an outside noise. your device and use them on all your videos. Now, the third reason is simply that your clips are stored. By clips, I mean the

[03:46] images and videos you upload. The better you choose them, the more views you'll get. There are many types of clips, like stop-motion, which are all kinds of images. There are also memes of all kinds, and even movie clips. Almost all videos

[03:58] on YouTube are clips. So, you can simply steal from others and save yourself the trouble. Even gaming videos are a type of clip, especially gaming videos. If you were clip, especially gaming videos. If you were watching YouTube back in 2013, 2014, and 2015, when the

[04:10] whole world was discovering YouTube and YouTube was becoming popular, 90% of YouTubers' content consisted of gaming clips with commentary behind the clips. They didn't even... They use cameras, even Mr. Beast was one of those guys. He'd just put on a Call of

[04:23] shots are very important because they're what catch the viewer's eye. Even if your shots are really good, people will remember you by them. Shots are also helpful for people who don't have a camera or whose camera is bad; they can simply put shots over their face and solve the whole

[04:37] problem. Shots are so important to me that I choose the shots before I even shoot the video. If you're looking for random pictures and videos, like memes, to use in your videos, I have a lot of pictures, videos, and memes on the Beth Duty website that you can

[04:49] you use Beth Duty to edit your videos, you can upload any type of footage, like pictures, videos, and GIFs. So try editing a video on Beth Duty, especially if it's a gaming video or a content video. And will the writing help you? You can add it manually, meaning you hold it in

[05:02] your hand and type, or you can use artificial intelligence, which will do it for you. Writing is very important to include with the footage because it will help people understand you and watch the footage simultaneously. Now, the fourth reason is that you do n't know how to talk to the camera. This doesn't just

[05:14] depend on your movements and words; it depends on your tone of voice. Even if your tone of voice conveys emotion, like "Please, watch me!"—and you can distinguish these people just by their tone of voice—make sure you don't have that tone. Make sure can distinguish these people just by their tone of voice—make sure you don't have that tone. Make sure

[05:28] If you have any problems or struggle with your tone of voice, use a voice changer and adjust it. Make your tone deeper or softer. Also, pay attention to your interaction with the camera—how your hands move, how your eyes follow the camera, where you look.

[05:41] It helps people connect with you more and interact with you, so the viewer needs to trust you. If they don't trust you, they won't listen to you. This depends on your style with the camera, your tone of voice, and even how you film with the camera. When I say filming, you don't need a

[05:54] thing is to have good lighting. Good lighting gives a good impression. If you look closely, you'll find people with great filming who rely on strong lighting. Just make sure you have good lighting, and that alone is enough. Of course, you also

[06:07] camera. I have a whole video on this topic called "How to Talk to the Camera," so if you're interested, go watch it. Now, the fifth and final reason is that you're not marketing yourself when you make your first video. Instead of showing it to your family and friends, show it

[06:20] directly to your target audience. To find your target audience, go to Facebook groups. These groups are target audience, go to Facebook groups. These groups are gaming video, you upload it to a gamer group. These groups have huge numbers; some can have

[06:32] 50,000 members. If you're a techie, you upload your videos to PC groups. Similarly, if your content is about cars, you upload your videos to car groups. There are Facebook groups dedicated to virtually anything, even things like

[06:44] how to learn to swim. Facebook groups connect you directly with your target audience, and if they like your videos, they'll give you incredible support. Even if your videos are weak, they'll still help and advise you. Facebook groups offer unparalleled support that you won't find anywhere else in the world. There's also

[06:57] advise you. Facebook groups offer unparalleled support that you won't find anywhere else in the world. There's also best people in history. They'll watch your content no matter what it is. Besides Facebook groups and Reddit communities, there are also Discord servers. Regarding Discord servers,

[07:10] only 100 or 200 members. These smaller servers don't have high demand, so the people there are likely interested in watching your content. Larger Discord servers, on the other hand, have millions of members uploading videos, so no

[07:22] your videos are long, you can cut a to cut long videos or convert them from landscape to portrait, use the website Bath.tv. It allows you to do these things with just

[07:34] one click. You can also add images, audio, videos, and text on the site, meaning you can edit your videos. So, try using Bath.tv if you want to make short videos. That covers all five reasons why you're not getting views. One

[07:46] more small point: you need to have text included in your video. In this video, I'll explain how to add text using AI or manually. I'll also explain the benefits of writing and how to choose the best text I mentioned. If you follow the

[07:58] five main reasons, and this sixth point is a small one, your content will be 100% successful. This way, you'll keep improving your videos instead of chasing views. Instead of thinking about how many videos to upload per week, think about how much you can improve. It's crucial to improve your

[08:11] videos before increasing their number. If you have a channel or are trying to create content, write to me in the comments so we can all see your videos and your channel. I and the viewers will give you and your channel. I and the viewers will give you our opinions, but please don't be upset if we criticize your videos.
