The Right Way to Upload YouTube Videos in 2026

[00:02] watch this video completely because chances are that till now you are uploading videos in the wrong way and to tell you the truth, I myself kept making the same mistake for years. I used to upload regularly and was

[00:14] consistent. I was uploading videos , uploading them nonstop but the result was zero views, zero growth and 100% frustration and the reason for this was very simple. I was n't even uploading the video correctly. Just think, there are already so many

[00:29] spam channels on YouTube. Full of AI generated nonsense videos. If you mess with any wrong settings, YouTube will put you in the same category. This means that the video will become dead and will not get any impressions. And worst case scenario Shadow

[00:44] Bane. Meaning you will keep uploading videos but YouTube will not show them. The video will not reach the people. And I am not saying this just like that. I myself have seen my friend getting trapped in this. He

[00:57] followed wrong advice online. Enabled one option incorrectly and his views were completely lost. And this is the only reason why I am making this video. Because I don't want you to repeat the same mistake that I have made in the past and that my friend has

[01:12] made. So it is a simple thing that if you do and without the trust of YouTube, your growth will end even before it starts.

[01:24] So the first and most common mistake that every new Uber makes. Publish the video immediately. Editing was completed, exported, uploaded the video and clicked on publish directly. We think this is the right thing to do as soon as the

[01:40] video gets live. But in reality it kills your views. Look, when you upload a video to YouTube , YouTube crawls it. Meaning the algorithm checks whether the video is safe or spam. Is anyone violating our guidelines

[01:54] and what topic is the content about? YouTube scans it completely overall. And if your channel is new then YouTube does not recognize you yet. To him you're just another spammer. So if you publish it immediately,

[02:07] YouTube will not get proper time to understand you, understand your video , scan it and what will be the result? You will get low reach. Meaning, impressions will be slow, views will be slow and the chances of the video going viral will

[02:20] also reduce. But its solution is very simple. Whenever you upload a video, keep it private or unlisted and then

[02:33] scan your video to understand its topic and whether it is safe for our platform or not. And then when you finally publish, the YouTube algorithm will push your video directly. And believe me, this

[02:46] little hack gives you a huge advantage compared to other users who make all these mistakes and publish immediately. Now look, this trick of publishing videos for 24 to 48 hours is Now look, this trick of publishing videos for 24 to 48 hours is

[03:01] find out whether the video will go viral or not. Whether views will come or not, it all starts even before uploading. What does it mean? Meaning your title, your intro and your keywords decide whether YouTube will

[03:14] I know you might be wondering what the title and intro have to do with the upload, but they do. Let me explain. YouTube needs signals to understand your video and those signals come from your title which should be

[03:28] accompanied by SEO keywords. From your intro in which you should mention the same keywords from your description and from your file name, the name of the file that you upload also matters. So here is a simple thing, when you

[03:41] upload a video, its file name should also match the keywords in the title. The file name of the thumbnail must also match. In the description you are writing a short paragraph in which you will have to add keywords manually. That should also be a match.

[03:53] Because YouTube matches everything for indexing and when all these things match, then the YouTube algorithm immediately understands that yes, this video is on this topic and I have to show it to this audience and then it shows it and yes, the

[04:07] impact of this small planning is so big that your video will start reaching the right people from the very first day and if you want that such growth related videos keep reaching you too, then subscribe to the channel and also press the bell notification

[04:20] so that you get the first update of my upcoming videos. Now comes a very important thing that will change the game of your YouTube title. There is a strategy that I use and I call it cricket strategy. Look, every new

[04:34] YouTuber makes a mistake. Trying to go viral with every title. It means adding an over dramatic hook and thinking that now the video will go viral. And then what happens? If you look at it, 99% of the time they fail because the truth is that there is no guarantee of going viral on YouTube.

[04:49] If it were so, everyone would go viral, every video would go viral. Now let us way of cricket. In cricket, not every player goes to hit a six on every ball. Because to win the match, the team needs both single runs and double runs and they are equally

[05:04] important. If a player tries to hit a six on every ball, his chances of getting out will increase significantly. But if he continues to score single runs and double runs then the scoreboard will build. Runs will keep increasing and the pressure will also remain low.

[05:19] And then when you get the right ball, you will hit sixes and fours too. And the YouTube title has the same scene. Overall, do n't try to go viral with every video. Just keep scoring your guaranteed singles. Start the title with SEO keywords.

[05:34] This will ensure you always get views from search traffic. And then after that put your hook further in the title. Which creates curiosity that attracts the browsing people towards the video. This combination is absolutely killer. Meaning the

[05:46] chances of going viral increase in the short term. At the same time, the chances of getting evergreen views in the long term also increase. With a single video, we will get traffic from YouTube as well as from Browse and Suggest. Meaning from sir as well as from recommendation. So

[05:58] keep taking single runs consistently. Do SEO and when you see a good opportunity, hit a sixer by adding a viral hook. Just with this your channel will become stable and sometimes views will come from search and sometimes views will come from recommendation and this will increase your overall

[06:12] chances of the video going viral and along with that a right balance will also be maintained and the views on the overall channel will remain stable. But if you are thinking that this cricket strategy seems right but does it work? So let me show you an example

[06:25] which will clear all your doubts. I made a video titled How to Record and Edit Your Voice. Now honestly when I uploaded this video, initially almost the video was a flop. In the first 2 months, only

[06:38] around 11,000 views were received. Meaning there were not many views. But I followed the same cricket strategy. The title started with the keyword. How to record and edit voice. This was my keyword. And this is a search friendly keyword which people

[06:50] someone types on YouTube how to record and edit? And after this I added a hook at the end of the video to add curiosity. And what was the result of this ? Gradually, the video started gaining views through search and as it

[07:04] gained some speed, YouTube also started recommending it. And right now that video has more than 2 lakh views which come from search as well as recommendation and are continuously increasing. But this thing does not happen suddenly on its own. This happens because

[07:18] first we take single runs by doing SEO after SEO and then add a hook along with it so that one day we hit sixes and this is not just one video, I have many such videos which are following the same pattern and are growing. Initially,

[07:33] slow views will come from your search and then from recommendations as well and then those views will keep increasing that first views come from recommendations and then the video gets ranked on search and more views come from search as well. So this is complete proof. If you align your title, intro, and keywords

[07:48] videos may seem like a flop at first, but you'll still be hooked. But in the long run it gives you guaranteed views. And one thing I can guarantee you right now is that you will keep learning a lot about YouTube on this channel.

[08:14] our next question comes that how to find keywords? How to create a title? Because cricket strategy will work only when you know that the keyword I have entered is the right keyword. Look, tools like Vikon Tube Buddy

[08:29] we can see the exact search volume, exact competition, everything. So if you can try it. So I will give the link in the description below.

[08:55] can use after trying them out a bit. But as I said, this thing is not limited to just the title. You can optimize your entire upload through a checklist. You can make it better. First thing is to take the fine print of the video.

[09:10] Rename the file name of your video to match the title. Put keywords in it. The file name of the second cheese thumbnail. Save it with the same title keyword. He should be there too. Third thing, description type paragraph in which use keywords naturally. Meaning you are

[09:24] Fourth thing title. First our SEO keyword, then the viral hook. But where you feel that there is not much traffic from search, then you can use your hook there first and then add SEO keywords. I like it that way too

[09:37] and it works. Fifth Cheese Intro. Say keywords at the beginning of the video so that YouTube gets the signal. YouTube does all our transcriptions. Whatever we say, whether we speak in Hindi or in any language, he understands it.

[09:50] And last thing uploaded. Keep the video private and unlisted. Publish it after 24 to 48 hours. So, if you follow this six-step checklist, your video is guaranteed to get views both from search and recommendations, and your video will

[10:06] perform well. Otherwise, you will get results and views from at least one place. And yes, when you apply this consistently, there comes a point where your videos start comes a point where your videos start generating views consistently and then

[10:19] sometimes you hit that unexpected six that we have been waiting for – the viral video. But if you are serious about YouTube and are going to follow this upload checklist then comment below the checklist. Let's see how many people follow it

[10:31] and how many people are serious about YouTube. Please do comment. Now it must be growing on YouTube is not just about uploading videos and going viral. This is a proper system in which our upload timing, title, keywords and audience everything matters.

[10:45] But now the next step is even more important. What should I do after uploading the video ? Because most of the uters make the same mistake. After uploading the video, nothing is done and the video gets stuck there. That's why I made this dedicated video.
