    The only problem with this shortcut is that viewers have to watch the video until the end and I am struggling to achieve that. Without viewers watching until the end the information in this video is useless.

    • @not-quite-comedy
      @not-quite-comedy 2 місяці тому +8

      Same here, our viewer retention rates until the end of the video are always below 20%, and considering how little views we have anyway, I'm not quite sure how to implement this shortcut.

      The ones that watch to the end are the ones you want. There are billions of people in this world and you only need a few. A few being millions 🎉
      Try not to think small and keep trying to get better at keeping more people watching. But the ones you have until the end are your most dedicated audience. Keep building that audience.
      They watch your videos and watch more of them.

      Exactly. Not all viewers watch our videos until the end. If they did, end screen thumbnails would work perfectly and we didn't need CTA at the end of every video. I think the main problem is that it is hard to find the right audience for our channels. Speaking for myself as a viewer; if I'm interested in something, I watch it until the end and ask for more; but if not, I wouldn't bother myself watching it. It is the same for everyone. So the main problem is reaching out the right audience.

With that type of content, if people are interested in learning more, that automatically would be enough to get many to check out other videos. Definitely some great ideas in this video!

    The issue with most of these "how to grow on youtube" videos is that 99% of the time, they teach you how to make videos where you're helping other people grow on youtube, so it's like an endless cycle. I'm not an "education" niche channel, so I wish that these "how to grow on youtube" channels would tell you hpw to grow or make money without teaching others how to do something or selling courses.
    Like, as a travel vlogger, how do I grow specifically? I wish there were videos focused on that, or just specific niches and not just "this is how you grow a channel that helps people grow their channels".
    I do find VidIQ and their TubeTalk podcast helpful, I just wish they focused on growing channels that AREN'T "educuational/how to grow online" focused.

My end screen click through rate has gone from next to nothing to 2-3% since doing it. And so if you get 2000 views a 2% click through to next video is another 40 views. And if EVERYONE of your videos does this it works.

    2:13 I've noticed a lot of new videos are putting captions in the middle instead of the end. Does this help keep viewers watching more videos? Since they might not have made it to the end of the video. Other argument is they might want to click on it at the end of the video because they want to watch the whole video first.

    The algorithm offers an extremely tight window of opportunity where it pushes your video out, and the CTR is relatively high, at first depending on the number of people that click, then as it falls off, the CTR falls, the video recommendation falls, and even with all this, this tactic is dependent on the average viewer sticking through to the end. So, unless you're making 72 second long videos (average viewer dips out after 30-48 seconds) the retention percentage is trash, video struggles to breath, then sinks after about 72 hours into the murk of the video wasteland. Shorts attention spans have transitioned over into the long form content... it's becoming harder and harder to keep anyone glued to the video for even a minute.

      No, desktop only from what I found although sometimes you can get onto your UA-cam Studio through your browser and then you can do from there but it’s sometimes awkward to try to get there without the app auto populating 😅

      Open your chrome and type UA-cam studio desktop with your phone.
