Today, I want to show you how I went from getting less views than a Minecraft let's player to now the algorithm literally sending me 1 to 2,000 views every single hour. And in turn, that blew up my subs, helped make a bunch of money, help me monetize not just this channel, but a bunch of different
channels as well. Some of them with literally one video. So, let's go through this step by step. Step number one is we need to figure out why the algorithm isn't promoting your channel. Now, most people think that the algorithm just hates them. But there's a way to actually go into your analytics and verify whether it is the algorithm
hates you or whether there's a deeper problem at play. So, just come to your YouTube studio, and this is just like a random example channel I have. Then come down to content, and then in content, come to whatever video you think the algorithm hates. Let's say this one's been up for over 2 years and only got 30
views in that period of time. Then go to analytics by hovering over this button here. Last, we're going to go across to this reach tab. And what we're going to look at is this number here, impressions. Cuz impressions essentially tells us how many times the algorithm has promoted our video. And in the case
of this video, you can see here, even though we've only got 29 views, the algorithm has actually promoted our video 400 times. The problem is our video just actually isn't enticing enough to viewers. If we come and look at the retention of this video, I go to overview and come down here. By the time
the video reaches the 10-second mark, over 50% of viewers have left the video. And so the issue here is like what Mr. Beast said, the algorithm didn't like that video. No, the audience didn't like that video. It's just that the data is showing us here that the video isn't resonating or clicking very well with viewers. And
