How to Get More VIEWS on YouTube in 2023 (GUARANTEED TO WORK) 

One of the best ways to get more views on your videos is by editing in interesting footage and visuals. The key to beating the YouTube algorithm is keeping the viewer's attention as long as possible. And adding extra footage called B Roll is one of the ways to do that. Another is editing your videos in such a way that they include jump cuts, graphics, and transitions that can reset the viewer's attention and keep them watching.

Those are just two ways to boost retention and watch time, and when applied properly they will lead to more views. The big idea here is if you want to stand out amongst rising competition on YouTube, you need to level up your videos. To defeat the next level enemies on Cyberpunk or Final Fantasy, you have to level up your weapons, level up your materia, and make sure you get that second heart and those gorilla arms.

That analogy was a little too niche. Forgive me, but, hey, let's keep going. You gotta just press record. So here are six additional ways that you can make better videos so that you can get more views. Camera presence. Unless you're running a faceless channel on YouTube, you have to get better at being on camera.

 And don't be hard on yourself, your first videos are gonna be your worst videos. Like check out my first YouTube video. All right, so this is, I guess, the first Sean Thinks vlog, and I'm gonna try to vlog every single day, mainly so I can remember what I'm even doing, and what's going on. But if you commit to getting 1% better with every upload by practicing, studying great communicators and content creators, watching the most viewed TED Talks and taking notes, you'll be amazed by your progress over time.

Preparation. Dude, just because YouTube is free to upload for anyone doesn't mean that you have to post your disorganized stream of consciousness rants about how you think the world should work. A better approach is to ask, who is this video for? And what value do I hope the viewer gets out of this video? Just by taking a few minutes to organize your content, thoughts and ideas can go a long way to making your videos 10 times stronger.

 Get to the point. Hey guys, so welcome back to my channel. - [Foreign Voice] Moments later. - And it's been so long since I've posted, but my dog, Foo Foo, got sick. - [Foreign Voice] More moments later. - My mom has been all over my back to do my homework, but I'm so excited to be back, and today I'm gonna be talking about my planning routine.

 Get to the (beep) point. If you wanna break through the algorithm, especially when you're just starting on YouTube and nobody knows you yet, think about delivering the value quick to the viewer. It doesn't mean you can't include your personality or some story, but when possible, trim the fat and make your videos half short and twice strong.

 Another way to make your video stronger and get more views is humor. It's one of the best ways to re-engage the viewer, and reset attention, especially if your video contains a lot of ongoing teaching. So if you wanna make the viewer as happy as a hog in mud, consider lightening the mood a little bit with a joke or two, and a bit of your personality.

 Quick word of warning though, humor is kind of a matter of taste and you don't have to use all these tips to make your video stronger. So use it with caution because it may backfire. We've all seen it. In fact, it almost never works. You have the teacher that tells the joke. No, not everybody thinks everything's funny.

 Music. - [Electronic Voice] Three, two, one. (upbeat music) - Music sets the mood, creates energy, and can keep your viewers watching longer by making the content more engaging, but a word of warning, a word of warning, a word of warning, make sure that the music you use is copyright free because you don't want your video to get flagged and lose monetization.

 And if you need some good copyright free music for your YouTube videos, we compiled our best resources into a video made just for you. We'll post that in the YouTube description, or just click or tap the screen at the end of this video. Additionally, consider adding sound effects by using music sound effects and well thought out content, you'll be able to keep the viewer's brain engaged and get views faster than a Tesla in ludicrous mode.

We could include all that. That might be funny. (car exploding) (upbeat music)
