Create a Strategic Video Loop<img decoding=\"async\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.0.3\/svg\/1f3a5.svg\" alt=\"\ud83c\udfa5\" \/><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Strategic loops get me every time. I was just watching a Short on how much one creator made on his channel, and before I realized it, he looped it. After the third time, I caught on to the fact that I had listened to the same Short three times in a row.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s the power of loops.<\/p>\n<p>When you loop properly, you say or do something at the end of the video that transitions right back to the beginning. Now, why would you want to do this? Well, YouTube will pay you for the rewatch \u2013 more than the first watch \u2013 and it will trick the algorithm because:<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> People rewatched the video, so they found value in it<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> More views are going to push the Short to more people<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You&#8217;ll need to spend time with your video to really understand how you can make it loop. If you watch the end of the video and it restarts, just ask yourself: will people realize they\u2019re watching again?<\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Optimize Your Shorts to Help the Algorithm<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You want to make the YouTube algorithm happy (read about it in <a href=\"https:\/\/viralyft.com\/blog\/youtube-algorithm\">our guide<\/a>), and one tactic is to optimize your Shorts. Captions are a good start, but you\u2019ll also want to optimize:<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Hashtags (more on this below)<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Titles<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Description<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Any hint that you can feed the algorithm to let it know what your video is about will help you get more views. You can even add in strategic keywords \u2013 naturally \u2013 and your video may show up in search results, sending more views your way.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. Master Your Thumbnail Creation Game<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Want to know how to get more views on YouTube shorts? Choose the right thumbnails. You&#8217;ll find people having a lot of problems with this because:<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Some say you need a <strong>verified account<\/strong><div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Some say videos need to be <strong>15 \u2013 30 seconds<\/strong> long or longer<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You&#8217;ll need to see if changing the thumbnail is working for you on your phone\u2019s app or not.<\/p>\n<p>If you can change your thumbnails, do it. The right thumbnail is crucial to getting more videos if people go to your channel.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tools to Help You Create Better Thumbnails<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/viralyft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Create-Captivating-Thumbnails-900x544.jpg\" alt=\"Create Captivating Thumbnails\" width=\"800\" height=\"484\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For a lot of creators, making thumbnails isn\u2019t their idea of a fun time. It\u2019s time-consuming and tedious, but these tools can help:<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/youtube-thumbnails\/templates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canva<\/a><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adobe.com\/express\/create\/thumbnail\/youtube\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adobe Express<\/a><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/pixlr.com\/design\/youtube-thumbnail-maker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pixlr<\/a><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/snappa.com\/create\/youtube-thumbnails\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Snappa<\/a><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Creators Share Tips on Thumbnail Creation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Not sure how to create amazing thumbnails? You can listen to some of the best creators in the world and see what they have to say about thumbnails:<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0vxwUT9Ujkg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mr. Beast Talks About Thumbnails<\/a><div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=01ojn0WArFs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Think Media<\/a><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One of the tips that has always stuck with me is to go on Netflix and see what they\u2019re doing with their thumbnails. If you have Netflix, you know that they create amazing thumbnails that get you to watch shows that you would never watch otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>If you become a student of thumbnails and really analyze them, you\u2019ll start getting more views.<\/p>\n<p>But this is only relevant for people who go to your channel because if they\u2019re watching Shorts, they\u2019ll automatically start watching your video.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>6. Focus on Quality Not Quantity<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ll find many creators who are focusing on quantity and not quality content. YouTube is being flooded with poor quality videos from people who hope that they\u2019ll instantly hit it big and make heaps of money.<\/p>\n<p>But subscribers will remember if you produce poor-quality content and will stop watching your channel.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;ll also unsubscribe.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever watched a TV show that started out amazingly and then all of a sudden, the quality tanked, you don\u2019t want to do this to your audience. It&#8217;s better to post a few <b>great Shorts<\/b> than a bunch that have no substance or views.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>7. Create Shorts for Upcoming Content to Lure Subscribers to Watch<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Subscribers will see your Shorts, and it\u2019s a great opportunity for you to show off your upcoming content. One of my favorite creators recently released a Short telling everyone he is on vacation and when he\u2019ll be back on his channel.<\/p>\n<p>And it was a nice update because now subscribers know what\u2019s going on and when to check the channel for new content.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you plan on doing any of the following, Shorts are a great way to promote it:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Take a short break<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Release a video soon<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Run a contest<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Shorts are a fun way to keep your subscribers engaged and in the loop about what\u2019s happening with your channel.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>8. Hook People in During the First 2 Seconds<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Shorts are short. <b>You have a second or two to hook people in, <\/b>and that means do something fast to keep eyeballs on your video. Every niche is different, but if you tell a Story and show something dramatic at the start of the Short, there\u2019s a good chance people will watch it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#e5ddce;border-radius:14px;-moz-border-radius:14px;-webkit-border-radius:14px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#fff7e8;border-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;border-radius:14px;-moz-border-radius:14px;-webkit-border-radius:14px;\"><div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n<p><strong>For example,<\/strong> you can start with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> How did I get here? (Show yourself locked in a car)<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Well, it\u2019s a long story.<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> And go through it quickly, showing the viewer how you got locked in the car at the end of the video<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>9. Hype Up Your Titles<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Titles are what catch people\u2019s attention and get them to click on your videos. Hype yours up! Don\u2019t be \u201cclickbaity\u201d with your titles, but do make them catchy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n<p><strong>Here are some tips for creating hyped-up titles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Create a sense of urgency<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Use emotive words (big, easy, proven, how to, expert, secrets, etc.)<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Use brackets<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Keep it short<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Use the right keywords<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Use numbers when it makes sense<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Make sure the title and thumbnail make sense together<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your title needs to be intriguing enough to get searchers to click and deliver on your claims (i.e., don\u2019t say you have the best solution and never talk about that solution).<\/p>\n<h2><strong>10. Add Your Shorts to Your Featured Section<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Another way to increase views for your Shorts is to add them as a featured section of your channel. YouTube is more likely to recommend videos that are featured, so this could be an easy way to generate more views.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sue-panel\" data-url=\"\" data-target=\"self\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:14px;-moz-border-radius:14px;-webkit-border-radius:14px;box-shadow:2px 3px 5px #eeeeee;-moz-box-shadow:2px 3px 5px #eeeeee;-webkit-box-shadow:2px 3px 5px #eeeeee;border:1px solid #5339D3\"><div class=\"sue-panel-content su-u-trim\" style=\"padding:15px;text-align:left\"><div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s how it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Open the YouTube website.<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Click your profile icon, and then click \u201c<strong>Your Channel<\/strong>.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Click the <strong>Customize Channel<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Scroll down to the <strong>Featured Sections<\/strong> area.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The \u201c<b>Short videos<\/b>\u201d section should be there by default, but if it\u2019s not, click the \u201c<b>+ Add Section<\/b>\u201d button and choose <b>Short videos<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>You can move the tab around to choose the order of your featured sections.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#e5ddce;border-radius:14px;-moz-border-radius:14px;-webkit-border-radius:14px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#fff7e8;border-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;border-radius:14px;-moz-border-radius:14px;-webkit-border-radius:14px;\"><strong>For example,<\/strong> you may want your Shorts to appear before your long-form videos. Just click and drag the double-line button to the left of the thumbnails to adjust the order.<\/div><\/div>\n<p><b>Don\u2019t forget to click the Publish button before you leave the page. <\/b>Changes are <i>not <\/i>saved automatically.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>11. Use The \u201cWould You Watch Your Video?\u201d Tactic<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When you create YouTube Shorts, you obviously have an idea that you\u2019re passionate about or at least interested in. But how well have you executed your plan?<\/p>\n<p>Before you post a Short, take the time to watch it and give yourself an honest opinion. If you were a YouTube user, would you watch your video?<\/p>\n<p>If the answer is \u201c<strong>yes<\/strong>,\u201d then post it right away.<\/p>\n<p>If not, then it\u2019s time to reevaluate things. Analyze your Short and find areas to improve. What is it about the video that just isn\u2019t working? If you can\u2019t quite put your finger on it, ask a trusted friend who will be unbiased to tell you what they would change.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>12. Add in Hashtags for Good Measure<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Hashtags aren\u2019t as impactful on YouTube as they are on other social platforms, but they\u2019re still useful.<\/p>\n<p>Add <strong>three relevant hashtags<\/strong> to your Shorts to help other users discover your content.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Bonus: View Your Analytics and Change Your Strategy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>YouTube Shorts analytics can give you a ton of insights into engagement and growth on your channel. Those insights can help you understand what\u2019s working, what\u2019s not working and what could use some improvement.<\/p>\n<p>Pay attention to metrics like Average View Duration (AVD), as this will tell you whether people are really watching your Shorts all the way through.<\/p>\n<p>Use your analytics in addition to your engagement insights to tweak your strategy as needed. Continually improving will help you get more views on your YouTube Shorts over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever wondered how to get more views on YouTube Shorts?
