How to get more views on youtube
Introduction
Want more views on your Youtube videos? Here are the best ways to maximize your youtube following.
Don't buy fake views
We don't want to scare you, but buying fake views is against the terms of service. If YouTube finds out that your video has been artificially inflated with fake views, they will remove it. This can be devastating to your channel and make it hard for you to get a new video up there. Even worse, if they suspect that all of your videos have been boosted by fake views, they may take down all of them!
So don't waste your time and money on fake views; instead invest in creating quality content that people will want to watch again and again (and tell their friends about).
Don't pay for bots

Seriously, don't do it. A bot is not a human being; it's software created to mimic human behavior. And that's exactly what they do: they like your videos on YouTube and leave comments with spammy links, which then trick people into clicking them and driving traffic to their site (where you might end up paying more money). Even if these bots are real people who are being paid by someone else, they aren't interested in your video—they're just pretending to be interested in order to collect money from you. It's all just fake activity that doesn't help your channel at all!

Don't get in trouble with YouTube.
Do be creative, and do be interesting. Network with other YouTubers as often as you can, read a post mortem when one of your videos flops, and try to find new ways to make videos that are different from what other people are doing on the platform (which should hopefully also be fun for your audience).
Don't get in trouble with youtube
There are certain things you should never do on YouTube. Some of these rules are common sense, but there are others that you might not think of.
Don't use copyrighted material (e.g., music or video) without permission from the owner(s). This can get you in serious trouble with YouTube if they find out and will result in a strike against your account.
Don't post offensive content that is defamatory, illegal, or misleading to viewers. If it's too risque for prime time television, then it's probably not appropriate for YouTube either; this includes hate speech/racism/etc., conspiracy theories/lies about people/companies (even if they're true), animal abuse videos (no matter how funny they may seem), sex videos etc
Don't react to something just because everyone else is reacting to it
Do be creative
Be creative. There are tons of people on YouTube who are doing the same thing (whether it's singing, playing an instrument, or simply vlogging), so you need to stand out. If you want more views on YouTube, be original and different!
Be yourself. Don't try to be something you're not—you will probably fail at it anyway! Don't pretend to be funny if you aren't naturally funny; don't pretend to be a great singer if the only time people hear your voice is when they ask how many slices of pizza they can get with their value meal at McDonalds; don't pretend like doing a Let's Play is fun when it actually makes you want to hang yourself from the ceiling fan with duct tape! You have been given this gift of life: use it wisely by being authentic!
Be honest. Honesty is always important, even when it hurts (or helps) others' feelings sometimes (or most often). For example: if someone asks me what I am up too today and I say "nothing," then that means there really isn't anything going on today for me personally--no special plans or activities planned for later this afternoon-evening; but if instead I say "I'm going over my friend's house tonight," then that means there *is* something going on later tonight--a social gathering involving other people besides just myself enjoying good food together while watching movies/drinking beverages while listening music/looking at artworks...etc....
Do be interesting
YouTubers are inundated with content every day. To stand out from the crowd and get more views, you need to create something that's interesting.
The good news is that there are some basic tips you can follow that will help make your channel more engaging for viewers.
Do network with other youtubers
You don’t have to be a big-time YouTuber with millions of subscribers and advertising deals to get the most out of your network. The first step is simply finding people who are doing what you want to do—and if they even just have a few hundred followers, that’s great!
Start by looking up your favorite channels in the “related channels” area on the right side of their channel page. Look for other channels that are similar in tone, content and style as well as layout and aesthetics. If possible, try subscribing to them all so you can keep an eye on their videos when they go live—that way, if there's anyone whose work really stands out from the crowd (or looks like yours), it'll catch your attention right away!
When you find someone who seems like they might be worth getting acquainted with, take some time getting familiar with their work before reaching out personally: watch some videos until one stands out as particularly impressive; check out their past uploads/posts/social media posts/etc., looking for patterns in what makes them successful; try to understand why people like watching this person so much (or don't).
Do read a post mortem when a video flops
If a video flops, do read a post mortem. It’s easy to feel like you’re doing everything right and still fail—and even if you didn’t do anything wrong, it can be helpful to learn from others' mistakes. A post-mortem is an analysis of what went wrong, with the goal of helping you avoid making those same mistakes in the future. You can also learn from other people's successes: see what they did differently, or better yet try out their strategies yourself!
This is hard, but to doable.
There is no magic bullet. This is hard, but it's also doable.
It takes time. Patience and persistence are key to success in anything you do, whether it be learning a new language or starting a channel on YouTube with the goal of growing it into something big.
It takes effort. If you want to see results from your work, then you have to work hard at it! You're going to have days where you don't feel like doing anything because of lack of motivation or inspiration—but those days will pass if you keep up with your daily routine (see below).
It takes patience and persistence above all else: patience with yourself when things aren't going as planned; persistence in the face of failure—and there will be many failures: learning how to deal with these failures can be very challenging for some people (but not impossible!).
