Before I start discussing this important settings change in your YouTube channel, please note that this is only for those people who are currently enrolled in the YPP (YouTube Partner Program).
I was going through the analytics of my dead YouTube channel, which is monetized, and saw that my views in the last 48 hours were at 350 views. This was really concerning for me. And then I stumbled upon the official YouTube news channel video, which I linked at the top of this article, which talked about a new update that I was desperate to add to my YouTube channel. The update was regarding adding automatic dubbing to your YouTube default uploads.
Now I live in Pakistan, and I saw many YouTube channels that were outside my country having the YouTube auto-dubbing feature. With this feature, you get a significant boost in your views on your uploaded videos with this enabled because then your YouTube video can be translated/dubbed into multiple languages.
- French
- German
- Hindi
- Indonesian
- Italian
- Japanese
- Portuguese
- Spanish
You can find more about adding automatic dubbing to your YouTube channel through this official Google resource.
Now I immediately added the automatic dubbing feature on my YouTube channel, and then I uploaded a YouTube short with the help of my son to YouTube, and I noticed that the video got 120+ views from the YouTube Shorts feed, meaning my overall average in the last 48 hours went from 350 to 500+ after a 12-hour time period. This also equates to the snowball effect: if a video on your YouTube channel starts getting traffic, obviously your other videos start to perform better automatically as well.
The above YouTube Shorts video was uploaded yesterday, but if you look closely at the video, the automatic dubbing feature is available for it, and also I added a related long-form video to it as well, which was regarding all startups of Xbox-related consoles since the Shorts video was about how to download the Xbox app on your Windows operating system.
Final Advice
Now you might have noticed there is a growing trend of lots of courses on YouTube talking about faceless YouTube channel growth using AI tools. My advice to you all who are interested in starting out on your YouTube journey is not to fall into this trap because it simply will not work. This is a perfect example of snake oil selling, which seems too good to be true, where the creator is seen making tens of thousands of dollars in no time, but it is not what it seems.
Yes, AI tools can help you create videos, create voice-overs, voice cloning, automatic AI captions, and viral stock videos insertions etc., but at the end of the day, the best advice no one seems to be talking about these days is narrowing down on a niche for a long period of time, and I mean uploading for a 1- to 3-year period.
