Many creators are frustrated when they put time and energy into making Shorts—only to see them flop with under 300 views. But it’s not just about luck or going viral. There are specific strategies that trigger the YouTube Shorts algorithm and help your content reach thousands—even millions—of viewers. And the good news? You don’t need to start over or have a big audience. You just need to do this.

✅ Why Are My YouTube Shorts Not Getting Views?
If your Shorts are stuck under 300 views, you're likely being bottlenecked in the algorithm's initial testing phase. YouTube tests every Short by showing it to a small batch of viewers. If it gets strong retention and engagement, it gets pushed further. If not, it dies there.

Common issues that kill performance:

Weak hooks

Low-quality visuals

Misleading titles or thumbnails

Poor pacing

No emotional payoff or value

Bad hashtags or no metadata

I break all of these down in the video and give examples of how to fix each one.

🔥 What To Do If Your Shorts Get Under 300 Views:
If your YouTube Shorts are underperforming, here’s the 5-step action plan I recommend (watch the full video for full explanations and examples):

Audit the First 1.5 Seconds – You must grab attention immediately. No intros. Start with a question, movement, or bold claim.

Cut the Fluff – Keep every frame intentional. Use fast cuts, zooms, captions, and sound effects to maintain interest.

Use the Right Tools – Apps like HeyGen, InVideo AI, Munch AI, and Leonardo AI can help automate content creation and editing for maximum impact.

Repost With Tweaks – Re-upload underperforming Shorts with a new title, hashtags, and slightly different pacing.

Use a High-Retention Format – Formats like “top 3 tips,” “before and after,” or “watch what happens next…” work extremely well.
