Transcripts
your shorts get zero views and no matter
what you try they never seem to get
pushed by the algorithm you've searched
on YouTube Reddit everywhere for a
solution but everything you find either
does not work or makes it worse it is so
frustrating because you see all of these
people flashing their million view
videos and you're still stuck at zero
well what if I told you that you could
also get millions of views and it's
simple even if you're at zero views
right now in this video I'm going to
explain the strategy that every single
successful shorts Creator uses including
me to KCK start a channel I'm even going
to show you an example of how I used it
on a brand new channel to get results
like this there were three different
reasons for your shorts not getting
pushed by the algorithm if you are
missing any one of these three reasons
then it can be detrimental to your
channel the first reason is your upload
schedule this is the most overlooked
reason to why your shorts do not perform
especially for new channels imagine this
you're super pumped on a new channel
that you created and you want to start
uploading a ton of shorts every day you
create three shorts and post them all on
the same day they do fairly well then
the next day you create three more
shorts and post them then boom they're
all at zero views you blame it on the
algorithm and give up this is the cycle
that so many shorts creators go through
but what if I told you there was a fix
because I was in the same situation not
that long ago I started a new channel
and uploaded Four Shorts every day and
almost all of them got no views then I
fixed my upload schedule and I'm
starting to see results like this but
what do you mean fix your upload
schedule well the shorts algorithm is
very strict and loves consistency
especially from new channels they want
to see you upload the same time every
day but not more than once a day this is
because the algorithm sees it at
spamming if you upload more than once a
day so find a time during the day where
you can consistently post a short and
stick to that time every single day also
I've gotten a lot of people asking me if
they should re-upload shorts if they do
not perform well do not re-upload your
shorts this is the easiest way to get
Shadow banned really quick if you want a
free Channel review of your channel
click the first link in the description
then sign up for the [ __ ] and join the
Discord from there DM me your channel
and I will give you a free Channel
review and some stuff you need to work
on going forward the second reason your
shorts do not get any views is because
of your hooks I cannot stress this
enough Your Hooks are so crucial to the
success of your shorts when has there
ever been a short that you have watched
that has had a bad hook let me answer
that for you that has never happened
because every single viral short has a
good hook the best part about hooks is
that they are super simple to get good
at this is because the secret to hooks
are are already in the shorts you watch
you just have to be more aware here's a
simple way I got better at hooks that
you can also do and it doesn't take any
extra time whenever you were scrolling
through shorts become aware of what you
are watching when you stop to watch a
short look back at the hook and analyze
it think why did this hook make me stop
scrolling what image was shown on the
screen first that made me want to
continue watching go through every
detail of what made up the hook and
break it down if you do this correctly
you will start to pick up on what does
well as a hook but I want to help you
guys even more and give you three
criteria IA that make up a good hook if
your hook does not meet these three
criteria then do not use it first the
hook has to bring up some sort of
question in the viewer's mind that they
can only get answered by watching the
rest of the short second the hook has to
convey the idea of the short in a plain
simple and fast way third the hook also
has to have a visual hook that ties into
whatever is being said in the voice over
these are the three criteria that I use
for every single short that I upload if
you start analyzing hooks from viral
videos and use these criteria then there
is no doubt in my mind that you will go
viral the third and final reason your
videos do not get any views is because
your content is low effort this is tough
because you probably think your content
is good enough to go viral but the
unfortunate reality is it's not if your
content was good enough to go viral then
the algorithm would have pushed it out
more the algorithm knows better than you
what performs well on its own platform
it's really easy to blame the algorithm
when your video does not perform well
but you need to start taking
accountability start looking at your
shorts from a perspective of a person
who is completely new to your Channel
would they watch your shorts would they
stop scrolling out your hook is the idea
of your short interesting these are
questions that you need to start asking
yourself when creating your shorts I
know it's frustrating because you
probably spend hours on a short then you
go to post it and it gets no views you
need to stop blaming the algorithm and
start taking accountability find ways to
make your shorts better analyze other
shorts this is the only way to progress
at the beginning of the video I said I
was going to give an example of a
channel that I started that was getting
zero views but I turned around here's
that channel as you can see the first
tennis shorts got no views I was so mad
I spent hours creating these shorts but
instead of blaming it on the algorithm I
took accountability so here was my
strategy to start getting more views I
first started uploading the same day
every day not missing a day and only
once per day then I analyzed other
successful shorts in my Niche since this
was a new Niche to me I needed to learn
what hooked people in this Niche and I
found that through analysis then I
created high quality content content
that was interesting and resonated with
the target audience
after a week of using the strategy these
are the results I got this Channel and
Niche will be revealed in an upcoming
video so subscribe to not miss the video
again I'm doing free Channel reviews but
if you want more in-depth help I have a
one-on-one program where I will guide
you through whatever you struggling with
on YouTube and help you grow it doesn't
matter if you are a beginner
intermediate or Pro I can help you
members are already starting to see
results after only being in the program
for a week right now it's $25 but there
are only four spots left once those
spots are filled then the price will
increase trust me this is the best value
to price YouTube service there is out
there you literally get access to my 5
plus years of experience on YouTube so
get yours before the spots fill up
because they are definitely going to go
quick
