This is why your videos aren’t getting views

Hey there,

If you’ve been posting on YouTube and still not getting the views you want…

This email might change everything for you

See, most people don’t get stuck because they’re not trying

They get stuck because no one ever taught them how YouTube actually works

So let’s break it down…

1. Your titles are too vague

Nobody clicks on a video unless the title makes them curious

Look at it like this:

You're not trying to summarize the video – you're trying to sell the click

Stop writing titles like…

“How I Became Successful”

“My Daily Routine”

“Life Update”

Start writing titles that create tension…

“I Tried This for 30 Days… Here’s What Happened”

“If You Hate Your 9-5, Watch This”

“7 Mistakes Every 30 Y/o Should Avoid”

A strong title makes someone stop scrolling

That’s the goal

2. Your thumbnails are doing nothing

Thumbnails are just as important – maybe even more…

Your thumbnail should:

1. Tell a visual story

2. Show emotion or contrast

3. Be easily readable on mobile

4. Make someone feel something

You don’t need to be a designer

You just need to stand out

Quick test: Would you click your own thumbnail?

If not, it’s time to fix it

3. You’re losing people in the first 30 seconds

The intro of your video is make or break

If someone doesn’t understand what the video is about – and why they should care – in the first 20–30 seconds…

They’re gone

The algorithm notices that

Instead of opening with a long backstory or intro…

Hook them immediately

1. Start with the payoff

2. Tease what they’ll learn or see

3. Set up the value, then deliver it

Example: “Most people waste their first year on YouTube. I’m going to show you how to skip that.”

Now you’ve got their attention

4. You’re uploading with no strategy

Random videos = random results

Look at your last 10 uploads. Is there a clear theme?

Do they speak to the same audience?

If not, your channel won’t grow

Start by locking in one niche and one format

Then post with a purpose

Each video should target a specific viewer, follow a proven format, and lead naturally to the next video

This is how bingeable channels are built

5. You aren’t using retention tricks

Getting the click is step one

Keeping them watching is what triggers the algorithm

Use these simple tactics like… 

- Pattern interrupts (visual or audio changes)

- Open loops (“Later in the video, I’ll show you…”)

- Mid-video hooks

- Fast pacing – cut the fluff

Viewers don’t need fancy editing

They need to stay interested

If you actually apply these, I guarantee your videos will start to perform better

But here’s what I know from experience…

Most people will read this, nod their head…

…and go back to doing things the same way

Don’t let that be you
