Do you have a YouTube channel and want to get more views to increase your profits?

Did you think about the question "How do I get views on YouTube?" Or "How to Increase YouTube Views for Free"

Here are these effective and free ways to get more views on YouTube!

1- Use “BOGY Thumbnails” in the image for the video

There is no doubt that your video image (Thumbnail) is one of the most important factors for the success of any video on YouTube!

According to YouTube statistics, 9 out of 10 videos who use a "custom image" get more views








As stated by YouTube:

A custom video image is the first thing a viewer sees, so make sure to make it unique
The question now: How do you design an attractive and distinctive thumbnail?

The answer is "BOGY Thumbnails." I will explain this method to you now.

BOGY Thumbnails in short are custom images that use one of these four colors:

  • Blue
  • Orange
  • Green - green
  • Yellow - Yellow

Why are these colors specifically?

If you look at the colors of the YouTube site, you will notice that it is "red, black and white", so if your video image uses one of these three colors it will not be distinctive, as shown in this image




But if you use the four colors that we mentioned before, the video image will be distinctive and attractive to viewers.







Notice the difference ?! Which of these pictures caught your attention the most?


Therefore, I strongly advise you to use these colors in your upcoming videos, and you will notice the difference for yourself.

2- Improve the description of the video this way

YouTube confirmed your video description is something that YouTube algorithms help understand the content of the video. As shown in this video.





Despite the importance of describing the video, many channel owners ignore this, and think that writing the description of the video is difficult!


But the good news is that there is an easy and simple template, which you can rely on to write a description of any video you have.


  • The model consists of 3 parts:
  • An attractive and powerful introduction
  • Detailed description of the video content
  • Links to your website and social media pages
  • Here's a detailed explanation of each of them, and how to apply it!


First, an attractive and powerful introduction:


The introduction to the video description must be attractive and strong, because the first 3 lines in the video description are very important.


You should place the keyword you are targeting at the beginning of the description lines, especially in the first or second sentence.
Because YouTube gives priority to keywords when they are at the beginning of the description.




Second, a detailed description of the video content:

Make sure the description of the video is at least 150 words, and you should tell the viewer what they will learn from it.

And don't forget to mention the keywords that you want to appear on YouTube. This way, YouTube will clearly understand what the video is about.

Third, placing links:

If you have watched the YouTube tutorial videos, you will find this advice, which is to put some of your information and links

Whether it is links to your website, or your social media pages, viewers can follow you through them






The goal of these links is to increase the number of your followers, and it is preferable to place links to your active social media pages, and publish them constantly.
For example, if you are active on your Facebook page, and post on it continuously, then include its link in the video description.


Of course, you should include in the description the link to subscribe to your YouTube channel, in order to encourage viewers to subscribe to the channel.


3- Optimize the click rate for the video title:


The video title plays a very big role in ranking the video in the search results on YouTube.
As YouTube stated before, the title of the video either causes the success of the video, and gets the largest number of clicks on the part of viewers,


Or make the viewer ignore the entire video.


Here's how to type in video titles that get a lot of clicks


First, add parentheses and parentheses to the end of the title:


According to a study by HubSpot, adding parentheses to the headline increased the number of clicks by 33%!





Second, use a number in your address:

  • How many tips or strategies you'll cover
  • The current year
  • The number of steps in a how-to video

How much weight a person has lost.

Generally speaking, any number gives meaning to your video title.

Finally, use headings between 40-50 characters:

After a study by Justin Briggs showed that videos with titles less than 50 characters long ranked first in YouTube searches!

4- Get views with "suggested videos":

As a reminder, “Suggested Videos” are related videos YouTube promotes next to the video that you are watching




As they say that successful channels, are the channels that get the most views through "suggested videos."

And you can imagine that the suggested videos can bring you more views than the views you get through search!

The question now is, how do you get views from your suggested videos?

Quite simply, use the "tags" your competitors are using.

YouTube stated that it uses metadata such as “title - description - hashtags” related to your video,
On the basis of it, he displays the video in the proposed videos that are similar to the same video content.

So when you use the same hashtags for another video in your field, it is very likely that they will appear in the suggested videos for this video.

And you get many free views.

Last but not least, if you want more views, you have to publish your video on social media platforms.

All social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and others, seek to keep their users on their site,
Therefore, all posts that contain external links have very little traffic, and you have definitely noticed this.

So what is the solution then?
