As a small channel, if you putting a lot of work, you upload your videos and you get less than 500 views on your videos, please stop posting and watch this video to the end. Look at this video for example. This video has gotten over 350,000 views and has made over $2,000 for me.

Now, let's look at the analytics where the traffic is coming from. So, if you look at the traffic source on this video, you see that it's coming from YouTube recommendation. So, as a small creator, the biggest secret you need right now to start getting a lot of views on your videos is YouTube

recommendation. In this video, I want to show you two things you need to do to get YouTube to start recommending your videos because with YouTube recommendations, you will get a lot more views on your videos than you currently get. Look at this video again. You see that in the last 48 hours, this video

has gotten over 5,000 views in just 48 hours and this is an old video. So, let me show you what I did in this video that's making this video to get a lot of views and even earn a lot of revenue for me. The first secret I applied on this video that helped me get a lot of views on the

video is in the video itself, the file. It will take you a little more work, but if you're willing to put in extra 20 minutes or 30 minutes work in the video, you will get more views on it. This first hack is one of the biggest secret why videos get a lot of recommendations.

YouTube start pushing the video and that is the file optimization, the video itself. So, if you want to get more views on your videos, you need to optimize the file itself even before you upload it on YouTube. I'm going to show you step-by-step how to optimize it whether you're using an iPhone or you're

using an Android phone. But first, let me explain how it works. When you are done recording the video, editing it, just before you upload it on YouTube, you need to optimize the name of the video. I'm not talking about the title of the video. I'm talking about the file itself. If you are able to add a

relevant keyword to the name of that video file, you will double and even multiply your chances of getting this video recommended or pushed by YouTube itself. So, say for example, you would edited the video with CapCut. You are going to see something like this as the name of the file. If you're able to add a keyword to this,

to move the file name from this to this, you increase your recommendation. So, this is the video file when I was done editing it and this is the name of the file when I was done with this optimization. Now, guess what happened? YouTube recognized this one better and faster and as a result, it started

pushing the video. So, like I said, it takes extra work to move the file from this to this, but if you are able to do that, you will get 10 times more views on your videos than you normally get. So, when you are done editing the video, you save it to your phone or your

computer. You can go on immediately and change the name. But before you do that, you need to go on YouTube and research relevant keywords you can actually add to the name of that video file. So, if you're using an iPhone, it is just easy. When the video is done, you can simply go on

and change the name. But if you're working with an Android phone, you will have to save this file maybe in your Google Drive and from Google Drive, you can now go on to change the name like this. If you work with your computer, when you're done editing the video, send this video to your laptop and then go to your

laptop and change the name. So, when a file is not optimized, algorithm does not understand this and even who to recommend the videos to. But if you optimize that video, algorithm understands exactly who to show this video to. So, immediately you upload this video, YouTube algorithm picks it and start promoting it and start sending

it to everyone that needs to see this video. But for this one that's not optimized, it's going to take algorithm extra work to discover who it's meant for and in some cases, it will end up not even pushing it to the right audience. And that's exactly what I did in this video. As you can see here,

recommendations are coming simply because the file name got optimized. Now, the second thing. This one will blow your mind. What this particular hack does is to help you get more views on the videos without anybody clicking on the video. So, this one is done in the settings of your channel. If you turn the settings on, anybody that comes

on your channel will be watching this video without even them clicking on the video. So, let me show you example from my channel. So, when you open this, you can see it. I just opened the channel right now and this video is playing. What really happened here is a simple settings and this has helped me get more

views on a daily basis on this video even without anybody clicking on it. So, as a small channel, you need to activate it immediately. How do you do that? You need to turn on the settings in your studio and it's something you can do with your smartphone. All you need to do is to go to Google

Chrome and then you are going to type YouTube dashboard. You click on it. It's going to bring you to this place. Then you click on this to continue and then it's going to bring you to the desktop version of your smartphone. It has to be desktop version before it works. Once you come over here, the next thing you

want to do is to go on and click on customization. Once you open it, it's going to bring you to this place. You can see this profile and you can see home tab. Go on and click on home tab and it's going to bring you to this place. A lot of small creators have not

activated this and it's the reason why a lot of them are struggling to get views cuz this simple settings helps to optimize your channel in a way that people who come on your channel will see the right videos to watch and it will also help YouTube to start recommending just the videos you want YouTube to

recommend for you. And that's exactly what I did in this particular case. So, what you need to do is to first of all, come over here and toggle this button on. So, it will show you sections of your home tab you need to activate. Now, there are a lot of sections here you can

activate, but the one that really helped this video to get a lot of views is this one called featured video for returning subscribers. So, you are going to activate this. By activating it, you simply make this video to play every time anyone that subscribed to your channel comes over here. Without watching the video, you

are getting views on the video just like I showed you. So, this is what you're going to do. You click on this and you're going to see spotlight for returning subscribers. You turn it on. And once you turn it on, it's going to request that you select a video you want to use for this section. So, you go on

and select that video you want to get a lot of views on. Make sure it's a video that offers value. So, once you select it, you activate this settings. So, anytime someone who subscribed to your channel comes over here without clicking on the video, you're getting a lot of views. Another thing you can do is also

to make this video your channel trailer. Let's say for example, you want to get a lot more views on this video. So, after making it your featured video, you can also make it your channel trailer, which means those that are subscribed will see it. They will watch it without watching it. Those that are

not yet subscribed will see it. They will still watch it without watching it. So, you can choose it as your channel trailer and then as your spotlight or featured video. The moment you are done activating it, make sure you come over here and click on this button that says save to save this video. Moving forward,

not only will YouTube start recommending this video to a lot of people, but those that land on your channel for the first time or even returning viewers will always see this video and start watching it immediately without pushing the click button. So, these are two powerful hacks I applied on this video that's helping

the video to get 5,000 views every 48 hours and it continues to get me a lot of views, a lot of subscribers and even earn me revenue on a daily basis. Yes, it works and I'm sure that if you implement it, you're going to get more views on the video. One more important

thing you need to do to make sure that this video continues to get views all the time is to optimize your channel itself using the right keywords in the right places. And that's why you need to go on and watch this video right now because I explain exactly how to optimize your channel as a beginner that

will help YouTube to recommend your videos and your channel.
