in those 8 minutes he basically told me to just change the title and thumbnail, and if it's not getting impressions, just have an end screen link to the video to get it back into the algorithm. your welcome.
This is 100% true. I posted a video several days ago and it barely got any views at all compared to my other videos, and yet the quality of the video itself was way better then anything I had ever done. Well the other day I changed up the thumbnail to see if that would help and several hours later.....still nothing. Then I wake up the next day and BOOM it is rapidly increasing in views! So yes, if the video is actually good but didn't do well try changing the title and thumbnail.
Thank you VidIQ for all that you do!! I started my channel almost 5 months ago and just hit 1.5K subscribers yesterday!!! I have been watching this channel since the day i started my channel and you guys have really helped a ton!🔥❤👍
I’m truly grateful for all the advice from this channel, I posted a video a month ago but it had less than 50 views in a week but now it has over 2,500 views and it is the most viewed video on my channel. Now i have 224 subscribers thanks to this video 😊
I've just been setting stuff to private and focusing on building my presence on other platforms. Pivoting away when you find you're not wanted can be a surprisingly powerful move.
Valuable advice, I did this for one of my videos and it actually worked. Revisiting thumbnails on poorly performing videos is something I regularly do. Cheers Guys.
You guys seriously couldn’t have dropped this video at a better time. I’ve been searching for ways to improve the performance of a video I dropped last week. Thank you for the excellent content 🙌🏻
The end screen tip is a major key to reviving a previous video. I have a video from last month that had about 1K views until I released my next video this month. The newest video has almost 23K views now and from putting the older video in my end screens, the views have boosted to almost 4K views! Change the thumbnail if you need to, but if you link that video on a future banger video, it will start to get more views.
This may be a silly question, but I am new to the tips and tricks of RUclips. When reviving an old video, do you change the thumbnail and title and re-release it, or do you just edit the old one and save the new changes? Thanks 😀
@@treatdizzinessathome2023 you just change the thumbnail in your RUclips studio. Scroll down to the thumbnail section it'll say change or download and just select download and you can just upload a new thumbnail. Then just click the save button and you're done.
Great info, I would add - if this video is also getting search volume and all has failed, simply look for the number 1 phrase that people are searching to find the video and edit the title to match that at the start of the title. This can really help if you are more of a search channel.
I like this method, for me personally if i see bad ctr in few hrs of upload i know a video will do bad. So i change things up right after few hours of failure. Great video🔥
@vidIQ Man I don't even know how to research anything. Its like Ya'll read my mind and made this video. The VIDIQ app ain't some sort of spyware now is it ? 😁
I have two endscreen videos linked, playlists in the description and still never any fresh views on a video but on the newest one. Its not even time limited content, its timeless comedy/entertainment content. Literally any video's clicks get frozen forever, once the new one has been uploaded. Its like impressions are a limited currency that only big channels can afford for more than only their newest video.
Tried a new twist from within my niche yesterday, and relieved to get a 2 out of 10. It kinda platued overnight, but took a spike again this morning. Super happy.
Hello everyone. If you're reading this, do not give up! Growing a channel takes time, effort, and hard work. For me, i also think uploading a viral video or short requires good timing and consistency. Good luck! ❤
- The hook could be more specific about the problem it's addressing. Instead of just saying "videos that do not perform well", it could mention specific metrics like low views, low watch time, or low engagement. - The hook could be more concise. It takes about 12 seconds to get to the point where it promises a solution. Shortening the intro could make it more attention-grabbing. - The hook could use more emotional language to connect with the audience. For example, instead of saying "it takes your Creative Energy and it crushes it in an instant", it could say "it feels like a punch in the gut that drains your creative energy and motivation". - The hook could use more vivid imagery to paint a picture in the audience's mind. For example, instead of saying "have the dreaded 10 out of 10 rating stare you back in the face", it could say "see the red thumbs-down icon mocking you from the screen". Overall, the hook is good but it could be improved by being more specific, concise, emotional, and vivid. As a RUclips creator, you can use these tips to create attention-grabbing hooks for your own videos.
When I started my channel (different from this one) First few 4-5 days I got decent views on my shorts even one of them reached 55k views and other 9k but after that it's been 10 days I am getting like 2-3 views on every short and RUclips is not showing it in feeds !! What should I do ? Do I need to create another channel and shut down that old one with almost 190 subs and 65k views on total ?
I feel like the thumbnail should be him making a thinking and enthusiastic face with a red/purple gradient and white glowing background and a subscriber count analytic going through the roof
I know a lot of people are saying the same sort of stuff, but I’m gonna add my 2 cents😁. Now keeping in mind my channel is small, where I’ve been averaging 300-500 views per video. I did this for the last two videos on my channel at it totally worked. I changed the thumbnails and title on both, as I notice the videos were still getting impressions. It took a day or two but BOOM! The first video went over 1K views (which is big for my channel) and the second video is making the same slow climb. Anyway, if you read this, keep working hard! You won’t fail, if you don’t give up. Cheers👊!
I love the cat. You have to show him/her more Dan. I watched the video you talked in this one and I liked it. I had the brilliant idea to change the font I was using in the 3 words of the thumbnail of my most viewed video a year ago, my views dropped. I noticed a few days later (I don't like to watch analytics everyday it gets me stressed), I changed again the thumbnail and used the old one. Almost no views. I tried to change the title and it's the same. So advice to everyone: if it works don't change it. Thanks for the video.
Great content guys. I recently fell into a niche and have been seeing some progress. With this progress I’m running an experiment on an old video that plateaued at 493 views. I changed the title and thumbnail to see if it moved at all. A week has passed and no movement. I will add it to the end screen and see what happens. Will come back in a week and reply with results.
I just brought a 2 year old video that had 600 views to over 8k in just a week w yt shorts. Its not just as simple as adding a related video to a short. That is just 1 step of my process... Edited btw just cracked 200k this morning
What do you do for a video to get more impressions in the first place? whats if its low amount mostly everytime? i have 5-6% ctr on most of my longforms but it doesnt seem to get many impressions overall
At 6:05 minutes into this video, he speaks about Impressions and shows a screen shot but he doesn't indicate the source of the screen shot. How can you find out if RUclips is still sharing your video with viewers?
Been looking for this exact topic over the last couple of days/week and bamm here we are ❤ appreciate the video is what i needed to boost some of my videos.. also appreciate you encouraging about, trying something different on you tube.. i did the scariest thing ever with my channel, mostly with my thumbnails, i did watch so many of your videos very valuable and informative. Yet i decide to try out something a bit different than what commonly people do... let's finger cross and see how it goes 🙏🔥
The new title and thumbnail was exactly why I didn't click on it - I had no clue what would I get had I done so. However, I'm probably not the target population of that video :)
Great video! And yes I have already seen this phenomenon on my channel. Thumbnails and titles are very important. I did a re-branding a while ago and I'm thinking about making a new one soon. To everyone out there, making videos is amazing but it is perseverance that makes channels stand out. Thanks again for an amazing video! I will definitely follow this advice!
Did you reupload the video with the changes or did you just change the thumbnail and title? I have a similar problem with my last video. I changed the thumbnail and title and i have been getting a consistent 8.1% click through rate but low impressions. Just wondering if i should just reupload the video with the updated changes ot wait it out.
We have 461K subs due to an insanely viral video we made many years ago received 200 million+ views, but never took RUclips serious. Now our channel is dead and we're trying to revive it! Thanks for the great info!
Really struggling with CTR, lower than 1% usually. Using low word count, clear images, fairly short titles and complementary colours but just don't seem to be getting good results the majority of the time
Thank you for that! I have some videos on my channel that I personally think are good, but they hardly get any views. I'm trying this method. I learned a lot on your channel!
Thank you so much, it was shown to me so right on time, have kinda creator crisis here, but now I’ll try this and change things around in my channel. I appreciate your work and effort here! Wish everyone persistence and hope!❤
TY vidiq! Any advice about how to fix shorts? Or are they really short lived and no way to fix? I deleted a bad performed short and reloaded, and the rank turned from 1 to 10. Is this pure luck?
Im still grinding and trying to figure out my key to success, I still enjoy making content and mixing it up but struggling to capture my target audience. I feel like my videos are getting a little better each time but hopefully soon enough it will break through a little more!!! Thanks for all the helpful videos your team creates!
The whole thing is that this , that this works in your (specific) explainer niches. But Im in the Ambient Relaxation background music Niche and this means a CTR of 1% - 3% is already pretty good. Updating the title and Thumbnail does'nt make the channel thrive though. Which I could find the golden formula for my Niche 😇😄. Anyhow, Thanks for this. keep up the good work.
Love this video. Great advice - definitely going to try this on a video from a few months ago that shouldve performed better. Will record the process and see what happens.
This video is spot on, I feel like you have just read what was going through my mind. So yesterday I did upload a vlog 😅 results? You guessed it right 10/10 🤥 I was just frustrated. Ideally when I do new a vlog, I usually get between 1/10 - 3/10 but this one just fell flat on its belly!
Thank you for this. Quick question, Is it better to change the title and description of an old underperforming video or to delete and repost it with the changes?
I wouldn’t have clicked the first one because I don’t know him and the surrounding channels don’t look like something I’d watch. The second approach is more intriguing and speaks to a pain point…
Love the explanation of how you came up with the titles and thumbnail etcetera. However, the rest of this is useless to small channels unfortunately... For a small channel if a video gets no impressions or clicks the first day it will probably flatline, changing the thumbnail or title later will do absolutely nothing, not even if you find ways to promote that video (trust me, I tried).
Yep once it flat lines it's very hard to get a video back on track. I have tested one of my videos, it's a Mortal Kombat tutorial, I must have changed the tumbnail 10 times lol its just a dead video. There is nothing to do that will revive that video I just have to let it dies in the youtube abyss.
@lajeandom unfortunately that's the way youtube works these days, and which Vidiq just doesn't get... You can (hypothetically) have the most perfect video the entire world would want to watch, if the youtube algorithm somehow gave up on it and you're a small channel you can just as well throw it away (though I wouldn't bc there's also no harm in keeping it and it might still get some views through search and all).
This right here. The harsh reality these RUclips advice channels try so hard to just sweep under the rug, but it still towers in the faces of small channels no matter how they try to look around it.
This was an awesome video - that probably could have been done in three minutes....lol all that said, I watched it and appreciate the intel and ideas 🔥
But, doesn't changing the video title mess with the algorithm? Meaning, it resets it so it isn't getting fed to the viewers as much as before, even if it's not getting many views to begin with?
I will say, those end screens help jump old videos pretty well... End screens are definitely important to help boost, even if you only manage to get a few views from it, it is more than what you would get from not having an end screen at all. But that is my 2 cents. 👍
I'm leaving this comment here as a reminder. Whether it's hours, days, weeks, or even years from now, when someone likes or comments on it, it'll remind me to never forget where I started
Do anyone knows the reason why I get a lot of short views but not a single long video views? I mean how can I get 4k watch hours without long video views. there are about 7 months left and within that time period if I could get 2300 more watch hours, the 1700 watch hours I got in a single month won't be wasted for nothing. What should I do?
in those 8 minutes he basically told me to just change the title and thumbnail, and if it's not getting impressions, just have an end screen link to the video to get it back into the algorithm. your welcome.

Great advice.... getting stuck at 4/10 or 5/10.
for getting answer just watch 6:30 after.
i really hate when i should watch mkre than half of the video and get nothing.
unfortunately this doesnt work for shorts videos, maybe for title but not for videos because we cant change the thumbnails yet :(
when you first said 10/10 video, i thought you meant an ABSOLUTE BANGER,! HIGH VIEWS, HIGH CLICK-THROUGH-RATE, HIGH RETENTION, HIGH LIKE RATIO

Can someone please explain what's wrong with 10/10 and why it is "dreaded"? My limited knowledge of analytics makes it sound like a good thing.

This right here. The harsh reality these RUclips advice channels try so hard to just sweep under the rug, but it still towers in the faces of small channels no matter how they try to look around it.
This was an awesome video - that probably could have been done in three minutes....lol all that said, I watched it and appreciate the intel and ideas 🔥
Just do what you love, the rest will come naturally ❤
Absolutely!
Thanks for ur support VidIQ
VidIQ. You have been a blessing. Thank you for the content.
Sometimes its crickets after posting. What give???
I am a newbie, and the videos you share are very valuable. Thank you 😍👍
Just reached 100 subs today!!!
Never give up to be the best in RUclips
But, doesn't changing the video title mess with the algorithm? Meaning, it resets it so it isn't getting fed to the viewers as much as before, even if it's not getting many views to begin with?
Good morning @vidIQ and everyone!!!! Very much needed for me!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!🥰🙌🙏💖
good luck guys I believe in you!
Oh wow then pray for me hahaha
I wish they could really give us efficient solutions instead of repeating the same words again and again
I will say, those end screens help jump old videos pretty well... End screens are definitely important to help boost, even if you only manage to get a few views from it, it is more than what you would get from not having an end screen at all. But that is my 2 cents. 👍
Your videos help us small creators get better
I’m gonna be so proud of my silver play button when it arrives
I'm leaving this comment here as a reminder. Whether it's hours, days, weeks, or even years from now, when someone likes or comments on it, it'll remind me to never forget where I started
When you realise this video literally does what he's advising us to do. 🤔👌
Do anyone knows the reason why I get a lot of short views but not a single long video views? I mean how can I get 4k watch hours without long video views. there are about 7 months left and within that time period if I could get 2300 more watch hours, the 1700 watch hours I got in a single month won't be wasted for nothing. What should I do?
Tysm for the advice! I'll keep being persistent to make my vids better! 💪
Thank you for this. Keep it up everone.
Thank you VIDIQ, YOU MADE ME PROUD OF CREATING MORE VIDEOS
New Stones album is incredible
