Day 197 | How to Grow my YouTube channel with Watch Time

I have two things on my mind: Increase watch time and grow my YouTube.

Today, I will be sharing how I grow my YouTube channel by increasing Watch Time. 😳

One of the top YouTube algorithm is Watch Time. If you can make your viewer stay longer on YouTube, YouTube will love you and show your videos to more people.

The 3 ways I  increase watch time is to use cards, end screens and clickable links.

In this live video stream, I demonstrate step-by-step on my actual videos, the following. 

✅  How to add cards on YouTube 

✅  How to add end screens on YouTube

✅  How to put clickable links in YouTube description

7 ways to get more YouTube subscribers in 2021 

Let's look at the strategies that worked for SEO expert Brian Dean of Backlinko.com. (...and compare what I have done)
  1. Create power playlists organized by outcomes (okay let me do this)
  2. Publish videos longer than 10 minutes because they rank better (not true for my Channel but let's give it a go)
  3. Promote another video in the end screen (done that and still doing)
  4. Change The Branding watermark into a subscribe button (I have that but it's not a button so let's change it)
  5. Focus on quality not quantity (so far so good that's the way I do it)
  6. Reply to every comment immediately (I am doing this consistently)
  7. Write a compelling Channel description that includes the channel overview, the topics covered, who your channel is for, and a call to action to subscribe. (let's change mine)
...and 10 more! See the Backlinko blog post...

PS:

What did I learn?
  • Use these 10 query words in front of keywords when researching on Google Search... What, Who, When, Where, Why, How, Which, Will, Are, and Can.
  • I am repeating my mistakes. Trying to edit my live videos and wasting time. Don't.
  • Set habit goals instead of destination goals.
  • Streaming and Youtubinareis my lifestyle. 
  • Tiktok tip - If your account is getting a lot of views and you are not engaging with the comments, Tiktok will stop showing your videos to more people. So I started replying the all the comments that were left in the last 3 days.
  • Whatever we post now will see fruits 3 to 6 months later. How long the fruits last depends on the topic. 
  • I can do one thing at a time. Cannot multi-task. 
  • Drop everything at 5 pm. Switch my mind to a different topic. Switchback tomorrow morning. 🥰
  • The top three gimbals people are searching for DJI OM4, Zhiyun smooth 4, and Zhiyun smooth Q2.
  • These are the topics with million searches. Other brand gimbal videos are slowing down my viewership. 
  • Should I buy the DJI OM4? Is the DJI OM5 coming out soon? The DJI OM4 was released in August 2020, so expect the DJI OM5 to be announced around August 2021. Buy DJI OM4. The number #1 talked about gimbal.
