How can I get more views on my YouTube videos?

Transcribe Your Videos and Post the Entire Transcript into Your Video Description

Websites do not currently have the ability to accurately fetch keywords from spoken audio in videos, so for now, written keywords are still a significant factor in video rankings.”

This also shows that although you are creating videos, the written text remains an effective way to get your videos seen – because a significant percentage of YouTube views are on mobile, people may not be in the right context to watch your videos with sound. What can you do in this scenario?

Go one better than transcribing your video and posting it in the comment

Add text to your videos, its known to increase video views by over 44%.

  • Pick out the words, phrases that you want the viewer to catch on to and add that to your video with subtle transitions and effects.
  • If the video is divided into segments, use text and transitions at the beginning of each segment. This will make the consumption of a long video much easier
  • If there are statistics that you want to call to the attention of the viewer, add that on the video
