No Views, No Subscribers, TURN ON This Settings Now

0:00 As a small channel, if you put in a lot of work, you upload your videos and you get less than 500 views on your videos, please stop posting and watch this video to the end. Look at this video for example. This video has gotten over 350,000 views and has made over $2,000 for me. Now, let's look at the analytics where the traffic is coming from. So, if you look at the traffic source on this video, you see that it's coming from YouTube recommendation. So, as a small creator, the biggest secret you need right now to start getting a lot of views on your videos is YouTube recommendation. In this video, I want to show you two things you need to do to get YouTube to start recommending your videos. Because with YouTube recommendations, you will get a lot more views on your videos than you currently

0:45 get. Look at this video again. You see that in the last 48 hours, this video has gotten over 5,000 views in just 48 hours. And this is an old video. So let me show you what I did in this video that's making this video to get a lot of views and even earn a lot of revenue for me. The first secret I applied on this video that helped me get a lot of views on the video is in the video itself. The file it will take you a little more work or if you're willing to put in extra 20 minutes or 30 minutes work on the video, you will get more views on it. This first hack is one of the biggest secret why videos get a lot of recommendations. YouTube start pushing the video and that is the file optimization the video

1:32 itself. So if you want to get more views on your videos you need to optimize the file itself even before you upload it on YouTube. I'm going to show you step by step how to optimize it whether you're using an iPhone or you're using an Android phone. But first let me explain how it works. When you are done recording the video, editing it, just before you upload it on YouTube, you need to optimize the name of the video. I'm not talking about the title of the video. I'm talking about the file itself. If you are able to add a relevant keyword to the name of that video file, you will double and even multiply your chances of getting this video recommended or pushed by YouTube itself. So say for example you've edited

2:18 the video with cap cut you are going to see something like this as the name of the file. If you are able to add a keyword to this to move the file name from this to this you increase your recommendation. So this is the video file when I was done editing it and this is the name of the file when I was done with this optimization. Now guess what happened? YouTube recognized this one better and faster and as a result it started pushing the video. So like I said it takes extra work to move the file from this to this but if you are able to do that you will get 10 times more views on your videos than you normally get. So when you are done editing the video you save it to your

3:04 phone or your computer. You can go on immediately and change the name. But before you do that, you need to go on YouTube and research relevant keyword. You can actually add to the name of that video file. So if you're using an iPhone, it is just easy. When the video is done, you can simply go on and change the name. But if you're working with an Android phone, you will have to save this file maybe in your Google Drive. And from Google Drive, you can now go on to change the name like this. If you work with your computer, when you're done editing the video, send this video to your laptop and then go to your laptop and change the name. So when a file is not optimized, algorithm does not understand this and even who to recommend the videos to. But

3:51 if you optimize that video, algorithm understands exactly who to show this video to. to immediately you upload this video, YouTube algorithm picks it and start promoting it and start sending it to everyone that needs to see this video. But for this one that is not optimized, it's going to take algorithm extra work to discover who it's meant for. And in some cases, it will end up not even pushing it to the right audience. And that's exactly what I did in this video. As you can see here, recommendations are coming simply because the file name got optimized. Now the second thing, this one will blow your mind. What this particular hack does is to help you get more views on the videos without anybody clicking on the video. So this one is done in the

4:37 settings of your channel. If you turn the settings on, anybody that comes on your channel will be watching this video without even them clicking on the video.
