Aside from publishing videos at the right time, here are some other ways to get more views, likes, and subscribers on YouTube.
Improve your average view duration. This is one of the most important factors that YouTube’s algorithm looks at. The longer your viewers stick around before clicking off your video, on average, the more it’ll be recommended to new viewers. A good way to increase your view duration is to use a hook at the start of your videos in which you give viewers an incentive to watch until the end, such as by promising a ‘big reveal’. Decrease your swipe rate (YouTube Shorts). This is another super important factor in the algorithm, but it only matters for YouTube Shorts. Ideally, you’ll want to make sure that less than 20% of the people who see your Shorts swipe past them. A good way to do that is to make sure your Shorts start strong. Promote your videos elsewhere. You can get more views on your YouTube videos by promoting them off the platform. An easy way to do this is to share a link to any new videos you publish on all the social media platforms you’re active on. You can also try promoting them on places like Reddit, Quora, etc.
