Bakit mababa views ng Shorts (10 fixes)

 Nakaka-badtrip ‘no? Gumawa ka ng Shorts, ang effort solid—tapos 0–50 views lang, minsan parang “pinost ko ba talaga ‘to?” 😤

Pero eto ang totoo: hindi ka “minamalas.” Kadalasan may specific reasons kung bakit hindi tine-test ng algorithm ang Shorts mo, or tine-test pero di pumapasa sa retention.

Sa post na ‘to, ituturo ko 10 fixes na beginner-friendly, mabilis i-apply, at proven na nagpapataas ng views sa Shorts—lalo na kung consistent ka.

Fix #1: Mahina ang Hook sa First 1 Second

Kung unang segundo pa lang boring—scroll agad. Shorts is swipe culture. Walang patience ang tao.

Step-by-step fix:

1. Start sa result, hindi sa intro.

   • ❌ “Hi guys…”

   • ✅ “Gusto mo 10x views? Gawin mo ‘to…”

2. Gumamit ng big text sa first frame (3–6 words max).

3. Put a pattern interrupt: zoom-in, sound pop, fast cut.

Hook formulas (copy-paste):

• “Stop scrolling kung…”

• “Ito ang dahilan bakit…”

• “3 seconds lang, promise…”

• “Kung creator ka, kailangan mo ‘to…”

Fix #2: Masyadong Mahaba / Walang Pace

Shorts can be 60s, pero karamihan ng nagva-viral: 7–20 seconds (depende sa niche).

Step-by-step fix:

1. Target 12–18 seconds for testing phase.

2. Every 1–2 seconds may movement/cut.

3. Remove pauses, “ahh”, dead air.

Goal: Parang hinahabol ng viewer yung info.

---

Fix #3: Malabo ang Topic / Walang Clear Promise

Kapag di gets ng viewer kung ano makukuha niya, swipe.
Kailangan one short = one idea.

Step-by-step fix:

1. Isulat muna: “After watching, alam nila ____.”

2. Limit sa 1 takeaway.

3. If tutorial: Step 1-2-3 lang, hindi full course.

---

Fix #4: Wrong Niche o Halo-Halo Content

Kung today gaming, bukas motivation, next day cooking—nalilito ang algorithm kung kanino ka ire-recommend.

Step-by-step fix:

1. Pumili ng 1 content pillar for 14 days.

2. Gumawa ng 10 shorts na iisang topic family.

3. Use consistent style: font, pacing, vibe.

---

Fix #5: Low Retention dahil sa Visuals/Audio

Shorts is sensory. Kapag:

• madilim,

• pangit audio,

• walang subtitles,
  babagsak retention.

Step-by-step fix:

1. Use natural light or ring light.

2. Audio: lapel mic or close mic recording.

3. Add captions/subtitles (auto-caption ok, edit mo lang).

Pro tip: Kahit Tagalog, captions increase watch time.

---

Fix #6: Hindi Optimized ang Title/Caption

Title ng Shorts appears sa feed/preview at channel.
Dapat: curiosity + keyword + clear benefit.

Step-by-step fix:

1. Keep title 40–60 characters.

2. Use numbers/specifics.

3. Avoid generic: “My Short video”.

Examples:

• “Bakit 0 views Shorts mo? (Fix in 10 sec)”

• “3 Editing Tricks para Tumaas Retention”

• “YouTube Shorts Algorithm: 1 Hack”

---

Fix #7: Walang Loop / Weak Ending

Kapag tapos na tapos, baba retention.
Ang gusto ng Shorts: looping (uulit yung viewer or seamless replay).

Step-by-step fix:

1. End with a line that connects back to start:

   • “So yun yung reason… balik tayo sa simula—”

2. Cut the last frame tight.

3. Make ending visually similar to opening.

---

Fix #8: Inconsistent Posting at Testing

Shorts needs volume for testing.
Isang post per week? Masyadong mabagal ang data.

Step-by-step fix:

1. Post 1 Short daily for 10 days.

2. After 10 days, i-review analytics:

   • retention %

   • viewed vs swiped away

3. Double down on top 2 formats.

---

Fix #9: Wrong Timing at Audience Signals

Hindi “magic time” ang posting, pero may impact kung saan active audience mo.

Step-by-step fix:

1. Go to YouTube Studio → Analytics → Audience.

2. Check “When your viewers are on YouTube”.

3. Schedule posting 1–2 hours before peak.

---

Fix #10: Shorts Not Getting Seed Audience

Minsan okay content mo pero wala pang “initial push.”
Kailangan mo ng early signals: views, likes, comments.

Step-by-step fix:

1. Reply sa comments fast within 30–60 minutes.

2. Pin a comment na question:

   • “Anong niche mo? Reply ka.”

3. Share sa small groups (FB page, IG story) pero huwag spam.

---

Common Mistakes / Troubleshooting

1. Maling aspect ratio (dapat 9:16, 1080x1920).

2. Walang subtitles kaya swipe mga silent viewers.

3. Overloaded hashtags (3–5 lang ok).

4. Too many topics in one Short (one idea only).

5. Intro na mahaba (“Hi guys welcome back…”)

6. Reposting TikTok with watermark (possible downranking).

7. Copyright audio issues (limited distribution minsan).

FAQ

Q1: Ilang views ang “normal” sa bagong channel?
A: Normal ang 0–500 views sa simula. Ang goal mo: ma-improve retention at consistency.

Q2: Ilang seconds best length ng Shorts?
A: For testing: 12–18s. Pag may traction ka na, pwede 20–35s.

Q3: Kailangan ba ng hashtags?
A: Helpful but not required. Use 3–5 relevant tags: #shorts + niche + topic.

Q4: Bakit biglang tumataas views after days?
A: Shorts minsan delayed push—tine-test ulit ng algorithm pag may bagong audience match.

Q5: Mas okay ba mag-upload ng maraming Shorts sa isang araw?
A: Pwede, pero mas stable ang 1–2/day kaysa 5/day na sabay-sabay.

Q6: Ano ang pinakamahalagang metric?
A: Viewed vs Swiped Away + Average Percentage Viewed (retention). Yan ang “gate.”

Q7: Paano kung mataas retention pero low views pa rin?
A: Improve topic packaging (hook/title) at consistency para dumami tests.

Conclusion

Kung mababa views ng Shorts mo, usually hindi dahil pangit ka gumawa—kulang lang sa hook, retention, at clarity. I-apply mo yung 10 fixes sa taas, tapos mag-test ka ng 10 days straight. Kapag nakita mo kung anong format ang gumagana, dun ka mag-all in.

Personal Experience (Storytelling + Paano Ko Inapply)

Naranasan ko ‘to grabe—yung tipong gumawa ako ng Shorts, pinaghirapan ko yung edit, nilagyan ko pa ng effects… tapos pag upload ko: 17 views. Kinabukasan: 23 views. Tapos ako pa yung nagre-refresh parang tanga 😭

Ang pinaka-masakit? Feeling ko “shadowbanned” ako. Pero nung tinignan ko yung analytics, doon ko na-realize: swiped away pala ang majority. Ibig sabihin, hindi talaga nila pinapanood. So hindi issue yung algorithm—issue yung first second ko.

Day 1–3: Hook overhaul

Una kong ginawa: tinanggal ko lahat ng “Hi guys!” at intros. As in brutal cut. Ang opening ko ginawa kong:

• “Stop scrolling—eto yung dahilan bakit 0 views ka.”

Naglagay ako ng big text sa unang frame at sound effect na “pop.”
Result: from 20 views naging 300–800. Hindi pa viral, pero ramdam ko na may buhay na yung Shorts.

Day 4–6: Captions + pacing

Next problem: people drop off at 4 seconds. So ginawa ko:

• captions sa lahat

• cut every 1–2 seconds

• tinanggal ko dead air

Biglang tumaas yung average view duration. Yung iba naglo-loop pa.

Day 7–10: One pillar, one idea

Dati halo-halo ako. So nag-decide ako: for 10 days, isang topic lang.
Halimbawa: “Shorts growth tips” lang. No random vlogs.

Doon ko nakita yung pinaka malaking jump: may Shorts na biglang nag 5k, 12k, 30k. Tapos yung isa, after 3 days, saka lang binigyan ng push—bigla na lang dumami views habang tulog ako.

Ang lesson?
Hindi mo kailangan maging perfect. Kailangan mo maging clear + fast + consistent. Kapag ginawa mo yung 10 fixes, binibigyan mo ng chance yung algorithm na maintindihan ka at i-match sa tamang audience.
