Explode Your YouTube Channel with Shorts: Our Top Tips

Using Trending Audio

One of the best ways to increase views on YouTube Shorts is to use trending audios and sounds. The YouTube Shorts player features a carousel of popular audio clips that users can easily add to their videos. Using trending audios helps put your videos in front of viewers who are watching other popular videos with the same sounds.

When you open the YouTube Shorts camera, browse through the audio carousel and look for tracks that have a high number of creates or views. You can also tap the search icon to find trending audios by keywords. Try using sounds that are currently viral on TikTok as well, as these are likely to be trending on YouTube Shorts too.

Pay attention to which audios are commonly used in top videos in your niche and consider using them in your own Shorts. Avoid overused audio that feels tired and stale. Put your own creative spin on trending audios by mixing in visual effects or transitions.

YouTube analyzes the audio used in each Short to recommend the video to relevant viewers. So leveraging popular audios gives your Shorts the best chance of being widely distributed by YouTube’s recommendation algorithm. This increases the odds of your content going viral.
