Why clicking Like on a YouTube video helps my channel


Like MrExcel on YouTube

Thanks for watching my YouTube video. I am asking you to also click Like when you watch the video. Your simple click on the Like button provides awesome benefits to me:

  • Engagement Signals: YouTube's algorithm considers viewer engagement as a significant factor. When you like a video, it signals to the algorithm that the content is relevant and interesting to the audience. This engagement metric helps YouTube prioritize the video in recommendations and search results. When you and others click Like, it helps to boost the video’s visibility to others.
  • Increased Visibility: As a video gains likes, it is more likely to appear in the "Recommended Videos" section and the YouTube homepage for users who have shown interest in related content. This increased visibility exposes the video to a larger audience, potentially leading to more views.
  • Social Proof: Likes serve as a form of social proof. When viewers see that a video has many likes, it can influence their perception of the video's quality and trustworthiness. This can encourage more people to click on and watch the video.
  • Higher Search Rankings: Videos with more likes are often ranked higher in YouTube search results. This can make the video more discoverable to users searching for related content, further increasing views.
To help even more, subscribe, leave a comment, or share the video

YouTube's algorithm considers not only likes but also subscriptions, comments, and shares. Any interaction with the video, even a simple comment like “Nice one” will further boost a video's visibility and reach.

Clicking the Like button improves my videos' chances of being seen by a wider audience. It's a positive feedback loop where engagement begets more engagement, ultimately leading to more views and exposure for the channel.
