How To Increase Views On YouTube?

Increase Your YouTube Videos Views Organically! 

Today I'm going to show you exactly how to get more views on your videos fast the secret a new strategy called the sequel technique I recently used the sequel technique to get twenty five thousand three hundred thirty-nine views on one of my youtube videos in about two weeks one of my subscribers also use this strategy on one of his videos and that video now has over a million views and in this video.

I'm gonna walk you through the entire process step-by-step keep watching last year I saw something that blew my mind I was looking at where most of my YouTube views came from and even though I ranked in the top three in YouTube for popular keywords like video SEO keyword research and SEO tutorial I noticed that most of my views didn't come from YouTube's search they came from suggested video mind-blown in my case 25% of my views came from search but 41% came from suggested video now as a quick recap suggested video is a section on the right-hand side of every video on youtube or underneath the video if you're on a mobile device and if you can get your video to appear as a suggestive video you can get thousands or even millions of views and the best way to do that this sequel technique in fact when I use the sequel technique this video from my channel racked up over 25,000 views in less than three weeks and even though my video is a few months old now views continue to roll in like clockwork and it's all thanks to the sequel technique in fact 66% of the views on that video have come from suggestive video which as you'll see in a minute is by design with that it's time for me to show you the entire step-by-step process starting with step number one find a popular video in your niche your first step is to find a video in your industry with lots of views why remember the goal of the sequel technique is to show up as a suggested video and when you get your video to appear next to a popular video lots of people will click over and watch your video the question is how do you find a popular video in your niche here are two simple strategies that work great first use YouTube search all you need to do is search for a keyword that describes the video you want to make then keep an eye out for a video in the search results that already has lots of views for example when I searched for improve Google rankings I noticed that this video had over 200,000 views bingo you can also look at your competitors most popular videos just head over to their channel and hit videos then sort by most popular

 

 just like that you get a list of their top performing videos for example remember Jeff rose that guy I mentioned earlier as you might remember Jeff used the sequel technique to get over a million views on one of his videos well when Jeff looked at his competitors most popular videos he found this one so he went with that video for step number one next it's time for step number two create a bigger and better video to sequel so now that you found a popular video it's time to create something bigger and better why is this important well a while back YouTube published a little-known research paper called deep neural networks for YouTube recommendations in this paper outlined how suggested video probably works as it turns out YouTube focuses on something called expected watch time expected watch time is simple it's YouTube's best guess of how much time someone will spend watching your video after they click on it and needless to say YouTube promotes videos that keep people on youtube so the higher your expected watch time the better for example let's say you just published a video about cold through coffee let's call it video a and YouTube starts to show your video in the suggested video sidebar but when people click over to your video they only watch it for 30 seconds on average YouTube knows that when someone clicks over to your video as a suggested video it's only gonna result in 30 seconds of watch time so that video has an expected watch time of 30 seconds now let's see you create another video about cold brew coffee video B this time people watch two minutes of your video on average that video has an expected watch time of two minutes four times more than video a and because video B has a higher expected watch time YouTube's gonna promote it in the suggestive video side bar like crazy so as you can see to show up as a suggestive video your video needs to keep people watching and to keep people watching your video needs to be awesome that's where this step creating the sequel comes into play with your sequel you take the video that you found in step number one and make it better in other words you want your sequel to be more like Empire Strikes Back and less like Episode one here's exactly how to do it first create an awesome video intro why is this so important well YouTube's data shows that the first 15 seconds of your video is huge in fact YouTube says that if you lose someone's interest in the first 15 seconds they're gonna click away and watch something else boring next but if you can grab their attention in this 15-second window they'll stick around the question is how do you create an awesome video intro in intro that's even better than the video you found in step 1 I'll explain with an example again here's the video that I found in the first step from this process this intro was actually pretty good but I knew that I could do a little bit better so for my sequel I started my video off with something that would grab people's attention specifically I let people know that I was going to show them how to increase their Google rankings fast I also showed people real-life proof that my approach worked and because my intro grabs people's attention they keep watching next create a longer video..

 last year I analyzed over a million YouTube videos to understand how YouTube search engine worked and we found that long videos crush short videos even though our study focused on YouTube search the message is clear YouTube promotes videos that keep people on YouTube and longer videos do that best plus longer videos tend to have a higher expected watch time for example let's say that your video is three minutes long well even if people watch a hundred percent of your video which will never happen you're expected watch time will be at most three minutes well let's say that your video is ten minutes even if people only watch half of your video you're expected watch time is gonna be five minutes in my case my competitors video was ten minutes 48 seconds long so I created a video that was a little bit longer at 12 minutes nine seconds finally it's time to add pattern interrupts to your video pattern interrupts are super powerful in fact I found that pattern interrupts can dramatically increase your videos audience retention and watch time so what our pattern interrupts pattern interrupts are something that you add to your video to change things up a pattern interrupt can be a visual a camera angle change a joke music basically anything that's different than the rest of your video for example the video I found in the first step didn't use a lot of pattern interrupts it was pretty much a static screen recording so from my sequel I used dozens of pattern interrupts I added visuals I changed the camera angle I told stories I even added a handful of little funny well at least they're funny to me how about another example Jeff Rose implemented all three of the tactics from this step for a sequel video just intro grabbed people's attention his video is almost 18 minutes long and he used a ton of pattern interrupts with that let's move on to step number three optimize your video..

 finally it's time to optimize your video now usually when you optimize a YouTube video you optimize it for SEO but with the sequal technique you're not trying to rank in YouTube search if you do great that's a bonus but it's not the main goal the main goal is to show up as a suggestive video next to a popular video for example let's look at Jeff Rose's video again like I mentioned earlier Jeff's video has over a million views but when you search for the keyword passive income in YouTube his video doesn't even rank in the top three the vast majority of Jeff's million plus views came from suggested video so how do you optimize your video for suggestive video it's simple copy your competitors keywords in fact YouTube's creator Academy says that when your videos metadata matches the video someone's watching you're more likely to show up as a suggestive video with that here's exactly how to optimize your video for suggestive video first say your keyword in your video this is a big one you probably notice that YouTube can understand what you say in your video it's not perfect but in my experience they understand about ninety to ninety-five percent of the words you say in a given video and when YouTube hears your target keyword in your video it helps them understand that your video is about that topic for example I noticed that this video used the keyword improve your Google rankings in the title and description so I made sure to say that exact phrase in my video next you want to use that same keyword or variation of it in your title for example you can see that my video title contains the keyword hire Google rankings which is a variation of improved Google rankings now that you've optimized your title it's time to optimize your description specifically you want to check out your competitors description 

And use the same keywords they use for example I noticed that my competitors description used the terms SEO improve Google rankings and search engine so I sprinkled those same keywords into my video description finally copy your competitors tags to do this you'll need to look at your competitors tags in the source code of the page or use a tool like to buddy or vid IQ then just use a few of these tags in your video for example I used as many tags as I could from my competitors video in my video and because my videos title description and tags match this popular video so well I consistently show up as a suggestive video next to that video in fact YouTube even promotes my video as up next which means it automatically plays after people watch that video now before end today's video I have a quick bonus step for you which is to increase your suggested video CTR as you just saw suggest a video as a powerful way to get more YouTube views well what if there was a way to double triple or even quadruple the amount of views that you get from suggestive video well there is and it's improving your CTR you might have heard of CTR before if not CTR stands for click-through rate and it simply means of all the people that see your video how many actually click on it and needless to say the higher CTR the more views you'll get for example let's say that your video shows up next to a popular video as a suggestive video and five percent of the people watching that popular video click over to your video that's great but if you can increase your CTR to 10 percent you'll double your views without needing to do anything else with that here's exactly how to do it first log out of YouTube or open an incognito window in Chrome that way your viewing history won't affect what you see next visit the popular video you want to show up next to and take a look at the thumbnails in the suggestive video sidebar finally create a thumbnail that's different from those thumbnails for example I noticed that most of the suggested videos next to this video use the same colors red orange and white so I made the main color of my thumbnail green that way it really stands out I also realized that most of the thumbnails didn't show anyone's face instead they use mostly text screenshots and visuals now I knew that there were studies out there that found thumbnails with human faces get clicked on the most so I made sure to include a shot of me from the video in my thumbnail in the end as you can see here I have a thumbnail that really stands out and because it stands out it has a super high CTR and thanks to that high CTR my video gets thousands of extra views every single month views that I wouldn't get if my thumbnail blend it in okay so that's it for the sequel technique ..

see the thing is is there are a lot of great videos on YouTube that can help you get more views to the videos you publish however those videos also talking about things that are pretty hard to implement like create great lighting or improve your audio or edit your videos better sure those methods work however they're hard to implement in this video the easy way to get views here's what's up I'm going to share a bunch of tips that you can use to get more views in two minutes to the videos you publish for example I wanted to get more views to this video that I published a year ago so I spent two minutes implementing a simple strategy and this was my result I got six hundred and thirty views to that video in about two minutes now those 600 views are awesome but here's where it gets really exciting you see those views triggered the YouTube algorithm allowing me to drive hundreds of thousands of views millions of views to the videos I publish and here's what's up it's really easy to get those kind of views no matter what kind of channel you have no matter how you're making those videos let me show you exactly how I made that happen you see I published this video here just a couple of days ago and my results were solid I got 740 views in less than an hour to this video and even better it created all kinds of momentum from my YouTube channel but here's what's up I did things a bit differently than most youtubers and it allowed me to get those kind of results and you can do it too no matter what and here's a clue of what I did check out these comments I got on that video and I watched this the whole way through for audience retention audience retention you see there's something that you can do that can really improve the likelihood that YouTube suggests your videos to thousands of YouTube viewers it's getting viewers to the end of the video you published and this is how you can get more views in just two minutes you see at the end of the video that I published I mentioned this video and again remember my goal was to get as many viewers to the end of the video so I had all of people hearing me say you should watch this next video it will help you to get the results you're after so did it work well check this out these are the comments I got within minutes of publishing my video this is very good great job you dig lol topics here from the upload today I was here from the upload today you see when I published a video I don't get just one view I get two or three views which is the secret sauce to getting more views all of these commenters didn't watch one video they watched two videos and that is the easy way to get more views now it gets even better because when you implement these strategies you're gonna get even more views to the videos you publish check out this comment from Kate I found this through the suggested videos your first video is very informative you see suggested videos is how you take a channel from 50 views a day to 5000 views a day and this is what YouTube says about getting your videos suggested the algorithm prioritizes videos that lead to longer overall watch time or viewing sessions rather than videos that get more clicks if viewers watch your videos beyond the first click those videos are likely to be suggested more often so when you get not just one view to the video you just published but two or three you're more likely to trigger the YouTube algorithm because this is the thing the algorithm prioritizes and this is why you don't want to add a channel intro viewers don't care about your channel intro and they'll be more likely to leave the video you just published and furthermore in the beginning of your video don't ask viewers to subscribe don't ask viewers to like the video and get right into the content immediately and then do this when you're editing your video cut out as much as possible that will result in a shorter video and you might think well that's going to hurt my watch well what happens when those viewers get to the end of your video and then watch a second video and maybe a third video you're actually going to increase your watch time by publishing shorter videos crazy but true and then at the end of the video you're going to do something a bit differently again to make sure you get more views and you're going to want to tell viewers to click and watch the video on the screen right now and that's the exact words you say because once your video is uploaded you'll add an end screen to your video and this is where the end screens are located when you upload a video you've got an option to add an end screen and again remember you're gonna tell viewers to click and watch a very specific video and then you're going to select this option which is like choose the video you want something to that effect and then you select the video that you want to show and that appears on the screen and viewers are gonna be far more likely to click and watch when you tell them in a very clear manner to do just that now there's another secret that's super powerful that will help you to get more views in just minutes in fact this video that's on the screen now will guide you through how to make that happen click and watch that video now
