1. Optimize the title and description
The title of the video should be catchy, but honest. Think about what you would type into a search to find your video. In the description, add keywords, a summary, and links to your other videos.
2. Use an attractive cover (preview)
Even if the video is great, it may not open without an attractive cover. Create a bright, contrasting, and understandable preview - preferably with a face and text on the image.
3. Add tags and keywords
Tags help YouTube understand what your video is about. Use tags related to the topic of the video, including spelling variations, synonyms, and popular queries.
4. Create Shorts
YouTube Shorts are now actively promoted by algorithms. If you have a short fragment, make a separate video out of it - this can bring new viewers to the main video.
5. Embed videos on other sites
If you have a blog, website, or social media accounts - share videos everywhere. The more external sources of traffic, the higher the chances of getting into recommendations.
6. Use view exchange platforms
Services like [site name] allow you to get real views from other users in exchange for yours. This helps to launch a video and get the first metrics (views, retention, engagement).
7. Interact with the audience
Ask to subscribe, leave a comment or like. Even one action from the viewer is a signal to the algorithm that the video is useful and interesting.
