Not getting views on your YouTube Shorts Try this‼️? #youtubeshortstips
Introduction
Are your YouTube Shorts stuck at just one view? Here's a little trick you can try to boost your view count.
Step-by-step Guide:
Re-upload the Clip:
- Upload the same clip onto YouTube again.
- Instead of using the same title for the re-uploaded video, change the title slightly.
- Once the new video is processed and the thumbnail is added, make the new video public.
Thumbnail Optimization:
- YouTube currently selects its own thumbnail for you, so you might want to see if a different thumbnail can help.
Managing the Original Video:
- Make the original video, the one with one view, unlisted for the time being.
Consistency is Key:
- To keep all variables the same, copy and paste the description and tags from the original video to the re-uploaded one.
- Do change the first line of the description to match the new title.
Results:
- After one day, my re-uploaded video jumped to 176 views compared to being stuck at just one view.
- Historically, my engagement data shows a surge around this time, and the view count may continue to rise.
- I've used this trick before for a video stuck at one view that later surged to 811 views.
Try this method out for yourself and let me know if it works for you!

FAQ
Q: Why re-upload the same video? A: Re-uploading gives the video another chance to be picked up by the YouTube algorithm, especially if you tweak the title and thumbnail.
Q: Should I use the same title for the re-upload? A: No, make sure to slightly change the title to see if it attracts more viewers.
Q: What should I do with the original video? A: Make the original video unlisted to avoid confusion and crowding of similar content on your channel.
Q: Do I need to change the description and tags as well? A: No, you can copy and paste the same description and tags, but it's useful to change the first line of the description to match the new title.
Q: How long should I wait to see if it works? A: Give it at least a day to check the difference in views, but sometimes it might take a bit longer to see a significant increase.
