If youΓÇÖve been uploading some videos to your new channel lately, like many others, youΓÇÖre probably wondering why your videos arenΓÇÖt getting that much attention. You start wondering what youΓÇÖre doing wrong. You ask yourself (or others) what do you need to improve? What do you need to change? What can I do to get people to notice my videos?
But perhaps youΓÇÖre not asking the right questions. Or to be more specific, the right question. Have You Spoken To The YouTube Algorithm Lately?
ΓÇ£But BraveStar, what do you mean by talking to the YouTube Algorithm? You can do that?ΓÇ¥
Well, in a sense, yea. You see, the way the YouTube Algorithm works is that you have to share your content with it. You have to tell the algorithm what type of content youΓÇÖre uploading, who your audience is. You do this by uploading. You have to upload lots and lots of videos. Most YouTube Pros will tell you to upload at least 100 videos in a year. The idea is to get the YouTube Algorithm to analyze your content, to understand your style, to define your audience so that it can share it to more and more potential viewers.
Think of it like creating an app, say, for the iPhone. The more code you add, the more features you add to the app, the nicer the look, the better the performance. In the process you replace some codes that are old, glitchy or simply useless to the app thus improving the app.
With the Algorithm your videos are your code, your channel is the app. The more videos (code) you add, the better your channel (the app) looks. As you learn more about editing, the kind of content you want to share and the improvement of the video/audio quality, the Algorithm takes all of that into account and will use all this information to determine who to share your content with.
I know that views and subs are important to content creators. But you have to accept the fact that if you just started your channel you canΓÇÖt expect a boom in views and subs right off the bat if the Algorithm doesnΓÇÖt even know who you are and what content youΓÇÖre uploading. Remember, youΓÇÖre competing against millions of other content creators uploading content at the same time as you so you have to give the Algorithm some time to get to know you. To get to know your content and find the audience youΓÇÖre making the content for.
So donΓÇÖt be impatient. Growth takes time. Focus on just making content. It doesnΓÇÖt matter if it sucks. You know why? Because according to most YouTuber Pros, your first videos are always gonna suck unless youΓÇÖre a professional movie maker. ItΓÇÖs just normal. Once you accept that youΓÇÖve taken your first step towards a better experience. Your first 100 videos should be about learning, improving, analyzing and talking to the Algorithm.
Good luck.
