The 2-Minute Algorithm Hack That Helps YouTube Recommend You!!

[00:00] - [Narrator] If you're a small YouTuber

[00:01] and your videos are getting zero views,

[00:03] this two-minute hack

[00:06] I'm going to show you the hidden settings

[00:08] that most creators don't even know exist.

[00:10] Here's the brutal truth.

[00:12] When you're a new channel,

[00:13] YouTube has no idea what

[00:16] or who should see it, so

[00:19] But YouTube actually

[00:22] According to YouTube, new

[00:26] Your titles, descriptions,

[00:29] to help the algorithm

[00:32] But there are three secret settings

[00:34] that most creators never touch,

[00:36] that literally teach the

[00:38] who should see your videos,

[00:40] and get YouTube to start

[00:43] to the right people.

[00:44] I'm about to walk you through each one.

[00:46] So let's start with the

[00:49] These are invisible keywords

[00:50] that describe your entire channel,

[00:53] not just individual videos.

[00:55] Here's how.

[00:56] Click your profile photo,

[00:59] then click Settings, then Channel.

[01:02] You'll see a keyword section

[01:04] that 99% of creators leave empty.

[01:07] Add broad keywords like fitness or finance

[01:10] or whatever your channel is about,

[01:12] but also add long tail phrases

[01:15] your audience actually searches for.

[01:17] Instead of just fitness, add,

[01:21] or "home workout routines."

[01:23] As a regular viewer browsing YouTube,

[01:26] you can't actually see these keywords

[01:28] that channels are using

[01:31] push your content to the right viewers.

[01:33] But with a two buddy extension installed,

[01:35] you can spy on a channel's keywords.

[01:38] That means you can go look

[01:41] in your niche, see exactly

[01:45] and model what's working for them.

[01:47] The second hack is in the

[01:51] In that same menu, click Upload Defaults.

[01:53] This is gold because

[01:56] will automatically include

[02:00] What I want you to do here

[02:02] about your channel, what

[02:06] what topics you cover.

[02:08] If you need help, just look

[02:11] but think about this

[02:13] for your channel.

[02:14] Now, every time you upload a new video,

[02:17] YouTube will automatically

[02:21] And above it, you can just add

[02:24] you have for that specific video.

[02:27] This saves a load of time,

[02:29] and make sure that each video

[02:32] in the description that

[02:34] push your video to the right viewers.

[02:37] Now, for the third and

[02:41] This one is massive for new channels,

[02:43] because tags are one of the main things

[02:45] that YouTube relies on when

[02:49] and the algorithm doesn't have enough data

[02:51] about your content yet.

[02:52] You'll find this in the

[02:56] What you want to do is

[02:59] that describe your channel as a whole.

[03:01] These tags will automatically be added

[03:03] to every single video you upload.

[03:06] No extra work, no remembering

[03:09] Just like with keywords,

[03:11] you want to make sure you

[03:13] with long tail phrases.

[03:16] These three settings work together

[03:18] like a GPS for the algorithm.

[03:20] They tell YouTube exactly

[03:24] so your videos can get

[03:27] Now, getting recommended

[03:30] If you're looking to get monetized,

[03:32] watch time is going to be critical.

[03:35] And if you want to hit that 4,000 hours

[03:37] of watch time milestone faster,
