Use Trending Audio<\/strong><\/h3>\n
![\"Use](\"https:\/\/viralyft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Trending-Audio.jpg\")
<\/p>\nWant an easy <\/i>way to boost your Shorts views? Use trending audio. Head over to the audio library and look for trending tracks that will go well with your video.<\/p>\n
Make sure that the audio fits. You still want to create high-quality content, so don\u2019t just pick a random song because it\u2019s trending.<\/p>\n
4. Loop Your Shorts<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Here\u2019s a pro trick to skyrocket your Shorts views: loop your videos. A looping video repeats itself over and over again. They encourage people to rewatch your Shorts, and each rewatch will count as another view<\/a>.<\/p>\n
To create a looping video:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n- \n
- <\/i> Make it short<\/div><\/li>\n
- <\/i> Add a still frame to the beginning and end of the Short
<\/div><\/li>\n- <\/i> Skip the music (it will ruin the effect)<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Some creators add a few seconds of video that would typically be at the beginning of the video to the end so that it loops together perfectly.<\/p>\n
5. Use Analytics to Create More Popular Content<\/strong><\/h3>\n
![\"Analyze](\"https:\/\/viralyft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Analyze-Your-Performance-e1712205675280.jpg\")
<\/p>\nIf you have an established channel, you can use your Analytics data to figure out what type of content your audience likes. You can use the data from your long-form videos or your Shorts videos \u2013 or both \u2013 for this purpose.<\/p>\n
Create a list of your top-performing videos and analyze them. <\/b>What do they have in common?<\/p>\n
Once you have a better idea of the type of content your audience likes, you can create more of it.<\/p>\n
6. Add Captions<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Did you know that 80% of people watch videos on mute? If you\u2019re not adding captions to your Shorts, these people will just scroll past your content. <\/b>Adding captions is one of our top tips for getting more Shorts views. Why? Because your videos will be accessible to everyone<\/i> \u2013 people who crank up the sound, and people who watch videos on mute.<\/p>\n
You can use YouTube\u2019s automatic captioning feature, but it may be better to use a third-party tool, like:<\/p>\n
\n - <\/i> Add a still frame to the beginning and end of the Short
- <\/i> Hacks:<\/strong> Show people a life hack that will change their lives, such as opening a banana like a monkey.
- <\/i> Persistence<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- <\/i> Food and Drink:<\/strong> Recipes are evergreen classics that you can create content around, or you can also create food and drink content that is centered around delightful-looking foods (think Nutella-filled, gooey foods that are divine).
