YouTube's Algorithm

Are you trying to start a YouTube channel? Or maybe you have already started one. Tired of waiting for your YouTube channel to grow? Then you are at the right place.

YouTube is a network that has been supporting creators for a while now. But it isn't very easy to be relevant on YouTube. 

YouTube has its Algorithm that makes it special. It takes into account the users interactions and gives them what they want. Basically the recommended section for each person is different.

Now to the trending page. The hottest newest viral trends tend to get attention on this page. These are those videos that are viewed by many people all over the country or even the world. The most trending topics become a staple ingredient for YouTube videos.

If you make videos about things you love its good. But you may not get noticed of it isn't relevant. Whereas people all around the world are looking at current trends and they make videos based off those trends. That's how you climb up the views. 

YouTube shows great preference to view time. View time is the time that the person has seen your video as this gives YouTube data on how much you can engage your audience. As per the current Algorithm changes YouTube is looking at videos that are atleast 10minutes long. For you to be relevant you need to have a relevant topic and need to know enough to make the video atleast 10 minutes long.

The next thing the Algorithm will check is the frequency of uploads. If you upload frequently it means you are committed to your channel. People that upload twice a week are ok, thrice a week - good, but daily uploads are the videos that take the biggest piece of the cake. The cake being the YouTube ad money. To get into YouTube's ad program you need to fulfill a few of YouTube's requirements which they have on their site.

So in short:

1. Relevant videos : probably about the most trending topics but if you are really passionate about something go for it.

2. View time : try to keep your videos 10 minutes or more.

3. Upload Frequency : try to upload as much as possible.

These are the current formulas to get relevant on youtube. But as you may have noticed this cannot be healthy for a creator. To know more - stay tuned for my future posts.
