π Boosting YouTube Short Reach with Embedding Hacks
The speaker shares seven hacks to increase YouTube Short reach, starting with the importance of embedding content to make it eligible for Google search, which can lead to thousands of daily views. They demonstrate this by searching for 'best time to post on TikTok' and showing how embedded videos appear in search results. The speaker emphasizes that enabling 'allow embedding' is crucial for content to be discoverable through Google searches, which can significantly increase views on YouTube shorts.
π Optimizing Content with Text and Length for Maximum Views
The second hack involves using on-screen text to create curiosity and confusion, prompting viewers to question or ask themselves a question about the video's topic. This strategy is used to create compelling thumbnails that can increase the likelihood of viewers watching past the first few seconds. The speaker suggests three methods to achieve this: on-screen text, voice-over, or visual representation. They also discuss the importance of creating content at the optimal length for the niche, which is typically shorter than the average, to increase the chances of achieving high audience retention and going viral.
π Identifying the Best Video Length and Posting Time
The speaker introduces a method to determine the best video length for a specific niche by analyzing recently uploaded and successful videos on YouTube, focusing on those with high view counts. They suggest creating content at the lower end of the two main length spectrums for YouTube shorts (0-30 seconds and 31-60 seconds) to hit the required audience retention rates more easily. Additionally, they recommend using tools like vidIQ to find the best time to post videos, ensuring content is uploaded when viewers are most active, thus maximizing views and engagement.
π Creating a View Train and Leveraging Expertise for Growth
The speaker discusses the concept of a 'view train,' where all shorts are added to a playlist for easy access and each short is linked to related content to encourage multiple views per viewer. They also emphasize the importance of learning from those with more knowledge about YouTube shorts, offering personal assistance through channel audits, phone calls, or mentorship programs with a money-back guarantee if the subscriber growth goal is not met. The speaker invites viewers to continue watching for more personalized help on growing their YouTube presence.

Transcripts
by the end of this video you're going to
know seven different hacks that you can
Implement in YouTube shorts today to
increase the amount of reach that you're
getting these are the same hacks that
allow me to get over 50 million views on
my channel over 700,000 subscribers make
a full-time living from YouTube and
ultimately I was able to quit my job
working for Gary ve to help you know
exactly what you need to do to get more
views on YouTube so hack number one is
making sure that you're actually
embedding your content in your YouTube
videos if you're not clicking in bed
well guess what's going to happen your
content isn't going to be eligible to
show up within Google search and you're
going to get so many different views in
fact I literally get 10,000 views a day
from YouTube search but it doesn't
actually happen on YouTube it happens on
Google and had I not clicked that embed
button well guess what it would have
never happened now to further explain
this to you I want to actually show this
to you with a search so I'm going to
type in the best time to post on Tik Tok
today and then if I come under videos
right here guess what we're going to see
a bunch of different short form pieces
of content here now if you want your
content to show here AKA your YouTube
shorts you need to make sure that you're
actually embedding your content so again
if we come over here if we look at this
video it's getting 3,300 views every 48
Hours coming from YouTube search and if
I come down here under reach what it is
going to show me is that a lot of that
is coming from outside AKA external
sites like Google search and the reason
that this happened is if I come down
here and I keep scrolling here and I
keep scrolling a little bit more you
need to make sure that allow embedding
is on because if you aren aren't doing
this your content is not going to show
up for those Google searches and people
are searching for Stuff related to your
content every single day so you need to
be doing this to increase the views
you're getting on shorts the second hack
you need to be implementing is actually
what I did in this piece of content here
so if we come over here and watch this
piece of content look at what we see
here's how to get monetized on YouTube
as quick do you see what I did here I
put text on the screen right here that
confuses the viewer or gets them to
question something essentially what I
did here was fastest way to get
monetized so now they know exactly what
this video is about and what they're
going to learn and it has nothing to do
with all the other text that's popping
up and what this allows me to do is it
allows me to grab this part of the
screen right here and put it as a
thumbnail so if somebody was doing a
search for what this title was about
which is how to get monetized on YouTube
guess what's going to end up happening
they're going to see that thumbnail in
addition to that this is going to get
them past the first 3 seconds cuz
they're going to have a really good
reason to keep watching they're going to
know the fastest way to get monetized
and that's exactly what somebody doing a
search for this is going to want to see
and you need to do this in your content
too and you could do this with three
different ways one you can do it with
text on the screen like I did right here
the second way that you could do this is
by adding in a voice over and the third
way you could do it is by actually
showing it on the screen for example
another way for me to do the same exact
thing is if I would have put a graph of
how much money I've made and put like 24
hours or something along the lines of
that would have accomplished same exact
thing which is getting across to this
viewer as quickly as humanly possible
exactly why they need to watch this
piece of content the two best ways to do
that are one to get them to ask
themselves a question or two to dispute
something that they think is true and I
did that with this right here fastest
way to get monetized it makes them
automatically ask themselves a question
what is the fastest way to get monetized
and then this video answers that for
them by the end and then boom they've
watched the entire video gotten exactly
what they wanted and now they're going
to subscribe and watch more of my
content like hopefully you are because
you're getting a lot of good tips here
which brings me to hack number three
which is that you need to be cre your
content on the lower end of the spectrum
for whatever the length spectrum is for
your specific Niche and if you don't
know what length spectrums are on
YouTube let me explain it essentially
YouTube shorts are broken out into two
different spectrums the first are going
to be videos 0 to 30 seconds long the
second going to be videos 31 to 60
seconds long now the majority of videos
that end up going viral within each of
these are going to be 8 to 12 seconds
and then 31 to 34 seconds why is that
because the audience retention graph
that you need is a lot easier to hit if
you create your content within those two
zones because if you create a piece of
content less than 30 seconds long you
need 100% average view dur duration if
you're not hitting that your content is
going to get no reach but if your video
is over 31 seconds long well guess what
you only need it to be 80% so if you
create a video that's 31 seconds long
it's way easier to get 80% on that than
it is on a 50-second video or on a
60-second video and the same thing goes
for that 8 to 12 second video it's way
easier to get 100% average view duration
on a video that's that short versus 27
second video or 28 second video which is
why I would strongly suggest that you go
to the lower end of those spectrums and
no this doesn't mean that you create a
video that's 2 seconds long or 3 seconds
long it just means that I want to
challenge you to get more across in your
video in less time now you're probably
wondering exactly what length is going
to work best for the content that you're
making because I bet that you don't
create content like me but had to gr on
YouTube or maybe you do in which case I
see you spying on me and trying to learn
something so that you can then tell your
viewers nevertheless what you want to do
is this next hack right here which is
going to show you the perfect length to
make your content no matter what ni
you're posting it now the easiest way
for you to be able to figure this out is
to come to a search on YouTube for
example if you were going to be creating
a video about how to get big biceps and
then we're going to put hasht shorts so
only short show up here and then if we
go under recently uploaded guess what
this is going to show us all the
recently uploaded videos that are
created on this topic now this video
here got 59 views so we want to ignore
it this video here got 400 views so we
want to ignore it but this video here
guess how many it got it got 3.5 million
views but it has nothing to do with what
we're going to be posting about now this
video right here is kind of related with
bigger forearms so I'm going to click
into this and this video right here is
also related so what we do here is Click
into these videos come up here change
shorts over to watch and guess what this
is going to do change the view that we
now have and guess what this video like
I said is towards the lower end of that
Spectrum at 38 seconds so this means
that a good video to make on a topic
like this is going to be 38 seconds but
let's test that again with this video
right here we're going to click here
we're going to go watch and boom we're
going to see a video that's 55 seconds
long so what I would do is I would
create your content either at the 38
second Mark within 1 to 2 seconds or at
the 5 5c Mark and if you went through
and did this with those other videos
that didn't get a lot of reach I bet
what you'd find is that they were
uploaded the wrong way either it was a
completely wrong length or just wasn't a
good match for what that viewer was
actually searching for because the way
that YouTube works is they want to push
you content similar to content that
you've watched before in the past and
length has a huge part to do with this
now of course I'm saying this directly
towards you but you need to think about
this from your viewers perspective if
your viewers watching 55c videos 38c
videos do you think it's a good idea to
make your content that length well of
course yes it is now this next hack is
going to be really really important if
you don't know what time you should be
posting or you don't actually know what
content you should be creating and that
is going to be making sure that you're
using a tool like vid IQ in fact if you
sign up for vid IQ you link your channel
and then you come in here to subscribers
guess what this is going to show you
this is going to show you the best time
to post on YouTube for every day it's
also going to show it to you for the
time zone that you actually live in and
this is going to make it incredibly easy
for you to know the best days for you to
be posting the best times for you to be
posting because the last thing you want
to do is create a great piece of YouTube
content and upload it on the wrong day
or upload it at the wrong time have that
destroy the amount of views that you

comment below register right now because
the next thing that you can do with this
is actually come over to YouTube and
you're going to be able to spy on your
competitors and see what type of content
is getting them most views for example
think media right here is one of my
competitors so I'm going to click into
their Channel I'm going to come under
videos right here what I'm going to be
able to do now actually if I come back
under home and I pause this I am going
to be able to come over right here click
view trending videos and guess what this
is going to show me all of their
trending videos this is going to show me
which one of their shorts is getting
them the most views and essentially what
this is going to allow me to do is know
exactly what topics are getting the most
views in my Niche because if I go
through and do this across all of my
competitors guess what I now have an
exact blueprint for which topics are
working which lengths are working and
exactly what content I need to be
creating right now if I want to reach
the right audience but you can't stop
there because I've got one more hack for
you and then we get into by far the most
important hack if you want to get
monetized on YouTube now this next hack
is that you need to be creating a view
train and there are two ways for you to
be able to do this the first way is
adding all of your shorts to a playlist
so that they show on your channel and
people will be able to very easily swipe
through them in addition to that every
single one of your shorts needs a
related video it needs to either be your
latest long form video or it needs to be
other shorts that people could watch
because if you're not doing this then
you're not getting multiple views per
viewer imagine for every person you got
to watch your channel you get five views
that would literally five x the amount
of views that you're currently getting
because I bet you're not getting that
many views every time somebody views
your content which brings me to by far
the most important hack that you could
take advantage of right now to get more
views on YouTube shorts and that is that
you're actually taking advantage of
somebody that knows more than you about
YouTube shorts in fact I just helped
