How to Fix YT Shorts Getting Stuck at LOW / 0 Views

Summary

In this video, the creator addresses the common issue of YouTube channels getting zero views and offers solutions. He explains that new accounts often struggle to gain traction because they aren't 'aged,' and uploading content too quickly can hurt visibility. He advises using accounts that are at least a few months old and warns against mass uploading without an audience. The video emphasizes patience, consistency, and uploading once per day to increase chances of hitting the YouTube algorithm. The creator also critiques misleading advice from some 'gurus' and encourages viewers to stay committed.

Takeaways

• 😀 Aged accounts are crucial for gaining views on YouTube. New accounts posting immediately are often seen as bots by the algorithm.
• 📅 Accounts that are 2-3 months old tend to perform better compared to freshly created accounts.
• 🚫 Posting videos too quickly after creating an account can lead to the algorithm ignoring your content.
• 🕒 Building up an aged account by waiting a few months before posting can save time and improve your chances of success.
• 🤔 Many 'gurus' claiming to have succeeded in 30 days actually use aged accounts, which misleads viewers.
• 📱 Using an account associated with a phone number may help get around some of the algorithm’s restrictions, but the account still needs to be aged.
• 📈 Mass uploading videos without an established base can hurt your chances of hitting the algorithm and getting views.
• 📊 Shorts videos hit the algorithm in three ways: no hits, browse feature hits, or full algorithm hits. Browse hits aren’t ideal for growth.
• 🎯 To maximize chances of going viral, stick to one video upload per day, and focus on unique, fresh content with good commentary.
• 💪 Success takes time, consistency, and strategy. Avoid shortcuts like mass uploading and courses; instead, focus on long-term growth.

Q & A

What is one of the main reasons for getting zero views on YouTube?

The main reason is using a brand new YouTube account, as the algorithm often flags new accounts as bots, preventing them from getting impressions.

What is an 'aged account' and why is it important for YouTube growth?

An aged account is a YouTube account that is at least 2-3 months old. It's important because older accounts are more likely to be trusted by the algorithm, resulting in better chances of receiving impressions.

Can a brand new YouTube account still get views?

Yes, but it will take much longer for new accounts to gain momentum compared to aged accounts. The process can be slow and frustrating.

Why is uploading content too quickly a bad idea for new YouTube accounts?

Uploading too quickly can cause the account to crash and burn, as the algorithm may perceive it as spammy or bot-like behavior.

What is the difference between content that 'hits the algorithm' and content that doesn't?

Content that hits the algorithm can get a few hundred to a few thousand views, reaching a larger audience. Content that doesn't hit the algorithm remains within the browse feature or receives zero impressions, only reaching a limited number of viewers.

How many videos should you upload per day to maximize chances of hitting the YouTube Shorts algorithm?

It is recommended to upload a maximum of one video per day. Uploading more than that can waste opportunities for the video to hit the algorithm effectively.

When does it make sense to mass upload videos?

Mass uploading videos only makes sense if you already have a very established audience. Established channels like ESPN can get away with uploading multiple videos a day because they already have a large base.

What happens if you mass upload videos without an established audience?

If you mass upload without an established audience, your videos are likely to be placed in the 'browse feature' bucket, where only people who have already seen your content will get impressions. This limits your reach and growth potential.

What is the 'browse feature' on YouTube?

The browse feature shows content to people who have already seen your videos or interacted with your channel. It doesn't reach new, unique visitors, which makes it less effective for growing a new channel.

What advice is given to those frustrated by slow YouTube growth?

The advice is to stay consistent, upload one video per day, and focus on unique content with good commentary. Growth is a long-term game, and with consistency, results will come in 3-6 months.
