[0:00] If you've just started your YouTube channel and you're struggling to get people to watch your videos, [0:04] I'm going to show you how to get more views on YouTube, even if you have zero subscribers. [0:10] Stay tuned. [0:10] [music] [0:15] What's up creators? [0:16] Sam Oh here with Ahrefs, the SEO tool that helps you grow your search traffic, [0:19] research your competitors and dominate your niche. [0:22] Today I have some crafty tips for you to get more views to your YouTube videos. [0:26] And more views often leads to more subscribers. [0:29] So first, let's kick things off by touching on 3 core principles that will help you consistently [0:34] get more views to your YouTube videos, and then we'll jump into some tactics. [0:38] The first core principle is to focus on your title and thumbnail [0:42] to boost your clickthrough rates or CTR. [0:45] Now, if you can't get people to click on your videos, then you aren't going to get any views. [0:49] CTR generally comes down to your title and thumbnail. [0:53] Now, this doesn't mean you should create clickbaity titles like, [0:55] "This One Trick Got Us 15 Million Views in 1 Hour." [0:59] While it might drive a click, it's unlikely that you'll be able to deliver on that promise. [1:04] As for the thumbnail, you want to create something that compliments the title. [1:08] For example, let's say you created a video on "How to Get a Six Pack in 3 Months." [1:12] Now, if I were to create a thumbnail like this, I highly doubt it would help my CTR. [1:17] The thumbnail has nothing to do with the title. [1:20] On the other hand, a thumbnail like this, [1:22] would likely drive more clicks because it teases proof of concept. [1:26] #2. Create videos that engage your audience. [1:29] And by "engage," I'm referring to people actually watching a good portion of your videos, [1:34] liking, commenting, and sharing. [1:36] Here are a few tips. [1:38] Make sure your video delivers value. [1:40] Script or outline your videos so you stay on topic. [1:43] Ask questions throughout your video to get more comments. [1:46] And ask viewers to like and share your videos. [1:50] And #3 is to create relevant videos on a niche topic. [1:54] When you're just starting out, I highly recommend staying very focused [1:58] on a specific topic within your niche. [2:00] By doing this, you're building an audience that isn't just interested in one of your videos, [2:05] but will likely want to watch other related videos on the same topic. [2:09] For example, your broad niche might be food. [2:12] And under that umbrella, you might make your own home-cooked meals. [2:16] Now, rather than creating videos on all of the foods you eat, it might be best to start out [2:20] with a more narrow topic like "grilling meat on a barbecue." [2:24] Then start branching out to "marinades," "sides," [2:27] and as your audience grows, getting views won't be such a feat [2:30] because slowly but surely, you'll be building a like-minded audience over time. [2:35] Now, take these tips as foundational advice, so that the tactics you learn today go beyond one-off views. [2:41] Alright, so the first tip is one of my favorites, and that's to leverage the power of suggested [2:45] views using series playlists. [2:48] Suggested views are when someone clicks on your video in the sidebar. [2:51] Now, there are two parts to this sidebar. [2:53] The Up next, and then the rest of the videos. [2:56] Obviously, the spot that you want to get is the "Up next" spot. [2:59] Reason being, the next video automatically plays after the current video is over, [3:04] which is super powerful for getting more views, [3:06] particularly on mobile that doesn't have a sidebar. [3:10] Now, the problem is, if you're a small or new channel, it's tough to get suggested on other people's videos. [3:16] So if you're just starting out, claim the "Up next" spot on your own videos using series playlists. [3:22] A series playlist allows you to mark your playlist as an official set of videos [3:26] that should be viewed together. [3:28] And only the creator of the videos can do this. [3:30] Think of how Netflix does it with seasons and episodes of your favorite show. [3:34] Watching the videos out of order wouldn't be the best experience. [3:38] So when you create a series playlist, YouTube is then able to judge whether people agree [3:42] with the order of the list you've set. [3:44] And if viewers are watching your videos in the order you set, you'll heighten your chances [3:48] of getting suggested views in the "Up next spot." [3:51] To set up a series playlist, go to your Playlist, click on Playlist settings, [3:56] and choose "Set as official series for this playlist." [3:59] And if all goes well, the next episode in your playlist should be in the "Up next" section. [4:04] In fact, Tim Soulo, CMO of Ahrefs is starting a new channel called, "SaaS Marketing Vlog." [4:10] And as his official and very expensive YouTube advisor, [4:13] I've recommended he waits until he has at least a few episodes before launching. [4:18] Why? [4:18] Because he should get more suggested views, which leads to longer session watch times, [4:23] and ultimately, creating the binge-worthy effect. [4:26] The next thing you can do is target keywords that actually have search demand. [4:30] One of the biggest mistakes that I see new creators make is creating "me-centered" videos with titles like: [4:36] "Camera Gear I Use." [4:37] If you don't have a following, the truth is that people won't care who you are [4:41] and no one is searching for these kinds of queries. [4:44] But people are looking for advice on camera gear. [4:47] In fact, Ahrefs' Keywords Explorer, which is our keyword research tool, shows that [4:51] "best camera for YouTube" gets 4,500 monthly searches in the US [4:56] and 7,300 globally on YouTube. [4:59] Now, targeting a popular keyword usually means the competition will be fierce. [5:03] So to find lower-competition keywords that still have search demand, you can use keyword modifiers [5:08] to target long-tail queries. [5:10] YouTube's autosuggest works great to get some ideas and angles fast. [5:14] But again, you should use a YouTube keyword research tool to find out if there's search demand, [5:19] otherwise you could be creating a video for no one. [5:22] Now, since YouTube's autosuggest gives you suggestions based on phrases, [5:26] you can use the "Phrase match" report in Keywords Explorer to see even more suggestions [5:30] and choose based on monthly search volumes. [5:33] Now, this is just a way to determine search demand. [5:35] If you want to actually rank your videos, [5:37] then I highly recommend watching our video on YouTube SEO. [5:41] The next way is to embed your videos on forums that are already getting traffic. [5:45] Now, by no means am I encouraging you to spam your videos on forums. [5:49] In fact, I think this does more harm than good. [5:52] But there are popular forums like Quora, Stack Overflow, and TripAdvisor where people are [5:57] asking questions where your videos could have the answer. [6:00] Now, you can go and answer all relevant questions and I'm sure you're going to get some views. [6:04] But a more effective way to do this is to find questions that are [6:08] already getting consistent traffic from Google [6:10] and post your answers with your video there. [6:13] You can find these popular pages on forums using Ahrefs' Site Explorer. [6:17] So I'll type in quora.com and run the search. [6:20] Next, I'll go to the top pages report, which shows you the pages that generate the most [6:24] search traffic for this website. [6:26] Now, using the Include search feature, I'll look for pages [6:29] that rank for a keyword related to my niche. [6:31] So assuming I have a tech blog, I might type in a broad keyword like "mobile." [6:37] And this one looks interesting on the topic of checking your T-mobile balance. [6:41] Now, as a final check, I'll open the "Overview" report for this page and then I'm going to click on [6:45] the "organic search" tab to analyze the page's traffic over time. [6:50] And it looks like this page has been getting consistent traffic for the past couple of [6:53] years, so it would definitely be worth the time to answer the question. [6:57] The next thing you should do is leverage your existing audience outside of YouTube. [7:01] If you've built an email list for your blog, send your videos to them in your weekly newsletter. [7:06] If you have a business or personal social media account, share your videos there. [7:11] And if you have a blog, you should embed your videos in relevant blog posts. [7:15] A good way to find pages that can drive views to your YouTube videos [7:18] is to look through your Google Analytics. [7:21] In this case, you'll see we had around 12,000 unique pageviews to our SEO tips blog post. [7:26] And since we have a video on this topic, we embedded it in our post, which has resulted in [7:30] over 2,000 views from this page alone. [7:34] Another strategy that I absolutely love is to use YouTube search ads. [7:38] This is something that we've experimented with for a little while now and we've found [7:41] two ways to use YouTube ads effectively. [7:44] The first method is to target keywords on YouTube that are already producing high watch times. [7:50] As I mentioned earlier, we don't want to get views for the sake of getting views. [7:54] We want to get views that engage our audience. [7:57] Views that teach people how to do SEO effectively. [8:00] Views that are going to stir a desire to watch more of our videos because the original ad that [8:04] caught their attention was worth watching. [8:07] Now, to do this, go to the Traffic sources report in YouTube analytics. [8:11] Next, click on YouTube search, which will show you the keywords that have driven views to your videos [8:16] along with keyword-specific watch time stats. [8:19] From here, you'll want to scan the keyword, average view duration, and average percentage [8:24] viewed columns to analyze which keywords are generating minutes watched for your videos. [8:29] As you can see, "SEO," "search engine optimization," [8:32] and "SEO for beginners" are all producing great watch times for us. [8:37] Now, looking at the "Average percentage viewed" values, you'll see that people are watching [8:41] around 45% of the video for these keywords, [8:44] which in my opinion is pretty good for long videos. [8:47] Now, these keywords all happen to come from the same video too. [8:50] So we created an ad targeting these exact keywords, [8:53] which has resulted in over 100 new conversions, [8:56] over a thousand subscribers, and over 9,500 earned views, meaning over 9,500 people [9:02] who clicked on our original ad, decided to watch another video on our channel by their own will. [9:09] The second way that has been super-effective for us is using retargeting ads. [9:13] For each of our SEO tools, we have landing pages. [9:16] And because every person isn't going to subscribe to our tools, we retarget educational videos [9:21] showing how our tools fit into everyday SEO processes. [9:25] And the results have been pretty awesome. [9:26] 58 conversions and over 1,100 subscribers. [9:30] Now, the most impressive stat here to me is that we've had over 6,800 earned views. [9:35] Now, the reason why this is so impressive is because 23.5% of people who watched [9:40] one of our retargeting ads, watched another video on our channel, which didn't cost us a penny. [9:46] YouTube ads are cheap relative to more popular advertising networks like Google Ads and Facebook. [9:52] So try YouTube ads to amplify your best videos and enjoy growth in your channel. [9:57] Another thing I highly recommend doing is using endscreens and cards. [10:01] Endscreens are video thumbnails that you can add towards the end of your video. [10:05] And if someone clicks it, then that video begins to play. [10:08] Cards on the other hand are slide-ins you can add at any point in your video. [10:12] You can do things like suggest videos and playlists to watch, promote other channels, [10:17] add polls, or link to a website. [10:19] Now, while your instincts might tell you to always link to your website, you might want [10:23] to think about keeping users on the YouTube platform. [10:26] From my experience, the cumulative value you get from longer session watch times far outweigh [10:32] a few link clicks here and there. [10:34] By getting viewers to keep watching your videos, [10:36] the better your channel will perform as a whole [10:39] and you'll increase views to your YouTube videos. [10:42] Now, which YouTube marketing strategy are you going to try? [10:44] Or maybe you have some better tips that are working for you. [10:47] Let me know in the comments and if you enjoyed this video, make sure to like, share and subscribe [10:51] for more actionable SEO and marketing tutorials.
