To optimize video discoverability, I would use strong keyword research to target what users are actively searching for and place those keywords naturally in the video title, description, and tags. I would write clear, compelling titles and descriptions, add accurate captions, and design engaging thumbnails to improve click-through rate. I would also encourage engagement through likes, comments, and watch time, as these signals help boost the video’s ranking in search and recommendations.

To grow a brand-new YouTube channel quickly, I would focus on a clear niche and target audience, create highly searchable and trending content, and post consistently—especially YouTube Shorts for faster reach. I would hook viewers in the first few seconds, use simple but clickable titles and thumbnails, and stay consistent for at least 30 days while closely analyzing what performs best and doubling down on it.
