Coin Bureau Trading is a specialist trading-focused YouTube channel within the wider Coin Bureau ecosystem, designed to serve a more action-orientated audience segment (technical analysis, market structure, trading psychology, and risk management) while complementing the main channel’s macro/education positioning.
I supported Coin Bureau as a YouTube & Digital Media Consultant, owning strategy, packaging systems, and performance optimisation to scale the Trading channel from 15,000 → 100,000+ subscribers in 8 months.
Starting Point
Challenges observed at the outset – The channel had early traction, but performance was inconsistent across uploads. – Topic selection leaned too heavily on “what we can cover” vs “what the audience is actively seeking right now”. – Packaging was not yet systemised (titles/thumbnails varied by episode and by who was publishing). – Viewer journey across the Coin Bureau ecosystem wasn’t fully mapped (main channel → trading intent → Trading channel).
Constraints – Fast-moving niche where content can date quickly.
– High competition for attention (trading creators, exchanges, ‘signals’ channels).
– Audience scepticism: trading viewers are ruthless about credibility, clarity, and time-to-value.
Built a packaging playbook that was consistent, but not repetitive.
Title frameworks used – Consequence framing: “If THIS breaks, here’s what happens next” – Decision framing: “Do you buy, wait, or exit? Use this checklist” – Clarity promise: “The only levels that matter this week” – Myth-busting: “Most traders get this wrong (here’s the fix)”
Thumbnail rules (systemised) – One message, one focal point. – Less clutter; no competing text blocks. – Strong contrast + clear chart focus (levels/zones), not “pretty charts”. – Emotion via implication (risk/reversal/decision), not exaggeration.
Why it worked – Improved click clarity for non-core viewers browsing Suggested. – Reduced mismatch between title promise and content, protecting retention.
4) Retention-First Content Structure
Trading content dies when it starts with long disclaimers, meandering context, or “let’s open the chart…”.
Implemented a repeatable structure: – 0:00–0:20 Hook: the decision point (what’s at stake). – 0:20–0:60 Map: what we’ll cover + how to use it. – Minute 1–3 Proof: show the key level / chart / signal early. – Mid-video pattern interrupts: quick recaps, “if you only remember one thing…”, scenario branching. – Clean payoff: actionable summary + invalidation conditions.
Additional retention tactics – Cut “expert theatre” and replaced it with clarity. – Reduced jargon or defined it fast. – Used “if/then” decision language to keep viewers oriented.
5) Channel Architecture & Viewer Journey
Made it easier for viewers to binge and subscribe:
– Playlists designed around intent, not upload type (e.g., “Market Structure Basics”, “Risk Management”, “This Week’s Levels”).
– End-screen logic that routes to the next most relevant video (not newest upload).
– Pinned comments used as “next step” navigation.
6) Workflow & Consistency
Created a lightweight operating system so quality didn’t rely on memory or last-minute decisions:
VidIQ is one of the world’s leading YouTube growth platforms, trusted by millions of creators globally to understand the YouTube algorithm and grow their channels more effectively.

Replay performance stabilisation: Improved opening hooks and clearer agendas increased Average View Duration on replays by ~10–25%, reducing steep early drop-off common to long live formats.

Publishing efficiency: Pre-approved frameworks reduced decision time during breaking-market moments by 30–40%, enabling faster uploads without quality loss.

Welcome to the world of YouTube, a platform where creativity knows no bounds! But with this endless potential comes the responsibility of navigating legal and platform-specific rules.
One question many new content creators ask is: can I upload public domain videos to YouTube? Or services like Kartoffel Films
This blog post aims to demystify this question and take you through everything you need to know about copyright, public domain, YouTube’s upload rules, and how these factors intertwine.
Understanding Copyright Laws
In simple terms, copyright law protects original works of authorship, including videos. When a video is copyrighted, the owner has the exclusive right to use, reproduce, or distribute the work.
Infringement occurs when someone uses, reproduces, or distributes copyrighted work without the owner’s permission.
Violating copyright laws on YouTube can lead to consequences, such as video takedowns or even channel suspensions. In extreme cases, you could even face legal action from the copyright owner.
What is Public Domain?
The public domain comprises works that are not protected by intellectual property laws, either because the copyright has expired, the work was not eligible for protection, or the copyright owner has explicitly relinquished their rights.
These works can be freely used, reproduced, and distributed by anyone.
Using public domain content is an excellent way to access and share creative material without fearing copyright infringement. However, it’s crucial to verify a work’s copyright status before using it.
The Intersection of Public Domain and Copyright
How do copyright laws apply to public domain videos? In essence, they don’t. But the tricky part is determining whether a video is truly in the public domain.
Works can be mistakenly labelled as public domain, or they may contain elements that are still under copyright.
Therefore, it’s important to do thorough research and, when possible, consult with a legal expert.
How to Find Public Domain Videos
Numerous resources offer public domain videos, such as the Prelinger Archives or the U.S. National Archives.
However, before using a video from these or other sources, verify its copyright status.
Check for any indications of copyright, research the creator, and consider the date and country of publication, as copyright laws and durations can vary.
Projected Public Domain Additions (Based on U.S. Copyright Law)
Year

Works published in 1924
2021
Works published in 1925
2022
Works published in 1926
2023
Works published in 1927
Please note that this is a simplified representation. In reality, determining whether a specific work is in the public domain can be complex and depends on factors like the date of the author’s death, whether copyright was properly renewed, and the laws in different countries.

The Internet Archive, which includes resources like the Prelinger Archives, is one of the biggest repositories of public domain and Creative Commons-licensed content. This gives you an idea of the sheer volume of such content available, although not all of it may be suitable or legal to upload on YouTube.
Can I Upload Public Domain Videos to YouTube?
Yes, you can upload public domain videos to YouTube, but there are some considerations.
YouTube wants creators to add their own unique spin to the content they upload, rather than simply reposting existing material.
How to Upload Videos on YouTube
Sign in to your YouTube account.
Click on the video camera icon at the top and select ‘Upload Video.’
Select the public domain video file you wish to upload.
Fill out the necessary information, like title, description, and tags. Make sure to accurately describe your video and use relevant tags to make it easier for others to find.
Click ‘Publish’ to complete the upload.
Remember, the description, tags, and metadata play a crucial role in search visibility, so take your time to fill these out accurately.
Monetization of Public Domain Videos on YouTube
While you can monetize public domain videos on YouTube, the platform’s policies require that you add significant original commentary or educational value to the content.
Simply re-uploading a public domain video may not be eligible for monetization.
Understanding YouTube Analytics
YouTube Analytics is a powerful tool that can provide insights into your video’s performance. Key metrics to track include:
Watch Time: This shows how long viewers watch your videos. The longer the watch time, the more likely YouTube is to recommend your content to others.
Audience Retention: This metric shows how well your video keeps viewers engaged. Higher retention rates indicate that viewers are watching most or all of your video.
Use these metrics to understand what’s working and what’s not, and adjust your content strategy accordingly.
Potential Challenges and How to Overcome Them
One challenge when using public domain content is ensuring the material is genuinely free from copyright. To mitigate this risk, do thorough research and consider seeking legal advice.
Additionally, some viewers may not be interested in watching public domain content that’s widely available elsewhere. To attract viewers, consider how you can add unique value or provide a fresh perspective on the content.
Conclusion
Uploading public domain videos to YouTube can be a unique way to share valuable content, but it’s essential to understand the nuances of copyright laws, YouTube’s policies, and best practices for adding unique value to these works.
With thorough research and a touch of creativity, you can leverage public domain content to create engaging, legal, and potentially profitable content on YouTube.

As with most social media platforms, the best day to post on YouTube depends on your audience and the type of content you’re posting. However, research suggests that the best days to post on YouTube are Thursdays and Fridays, with the peak being on Friday.
According to a study conducted by HubSpot, Thursday is the best day to post videos for business-related channels, while Friday is the best day for entertainment-related channels.
Why is it important to know the best day to post on YouTube?
Create high-quality content: Your video should be high-quality, engaging, and valuable to your target audience. Make sure your video is well-lit, has good sound quality, and is visually appealing. Use a script or outline to ensure that your content is well-organized and easy to follow.
Promote your video on social media: Share your video on your social media channels and encourage your followers to watch and share it. This can help you reach a wider audience and drive more views and engagement on your video.
Use relevant tags: Use relevant tags in your video’s description to help people find your content. This can help your video show up in search results for those tags, which can help you get more views and engagement.
Engage with your audience: Respond to comments on your videos and engage with your audience to build a stronger connection with them. This can help you build a community around your content and increase your reach on YouTube.
In conclusion, posting on the right day, optimizing your content, and engaging with your audience can all help you get more views and engagement on your YouTube videos. By understanding your audience, creating high-quality content, and using these strategies effectively, you can take your YouTube channel to the next level and reach a wider audience.
Why is it important to know the best day to post on YouTube?
Knowing the best day to post on YouTube can help you reach a larger audience and get more views and engagement on your content. By posting on a day when your audience is most active, your video is more likely to show up in their feeds and search results, which can help you get more views, likes, comments, and shares.
There are several ways to determine the best day to post on YouTube for your specific audience. One way is to look at your YouTube Analytics and see when your viewers are most active. You can also conduct surveys or polls to ask your audience when they prefer to watch YouTube videos.
In addition to posting on the right day, you can optimize your content for maximum engagement by using an attention-grabbing title, creating high-quality content, promoting your video on social media, using relevant tags, and engaging with your audience.
How important is engagement on YouTube?
Engagement is very important on YouTube because it can help you grow your channel and reach a wider audience. When viewers engage with your content by liking, commenting, and sharing, it signals to the YouTube algorithm that your content is high-quality and valuable. This can help your videos show up more often in search results and recommended videos, which can lead to more views and engagement.
Are you struggling to grow your YouTube channel despite your best efforts?
Frustrated with low view counts and minimal subscriber gains?
You’re not alone.
Many creators face the same challenges, but the key to success lies in understanding the crucial YouTube analytics and metrics that can help you identify areas for improvement. In this blog post, we’ll dive deep into the world of YouTube analytics, provide actionable tips, and share proven strategies to help you unlock your channel’s full potential.
How To Track Success on YouTube? – Track YouTube success by monitoring key metrics: watch time, audience retention, CTR, unique viewers, traffic sources, and engagement metrics (likes, dislikes, comments, shares). Optimize content with SEO, compelling titles/thumbnails, and audience-focused topics. Engage viewers and analyze data for growth.
Essential YouTube Metrics for Growth
There are handful of metrics that aspiring youtubers need to get to know in-depth if they are to understand how to grow and WHY they are growing.
Watch Time and Audience Retention
Watch time is the total amount of time viewers spend watching your videos, and it’s one of the most critical factors in YouTube’s algorithm. In fact, YouTube prioritizes videos with higher watch times in search results and recommendations. According to a study by Tubular Insights, the top 1% of YouTube channels have an average watch time of 3 minutes and 19 seconds, while the bottom 50% only manage 1 minute and 21 seconds.
To improve your watch time, focus on audience retention – the percentage of a video that viewers watch before leaving. Aim for a retention rate of at least 50%, as videos with higher retention rates tend to perform better.
Actionable Tips:
Hook viewers in the first 15 seconds with a compelling intro.
Structure your content with clear, engaging segments.
Use annotations, cards, and end screens to promote related content.
Click-Through Rate (CTR)
CTR is the percentage of viewers who click on your video after seeing its thumbnail and title. A higher CTR indicates that your video is enticing and relevant to your target audience. According to YouTube, the average CTR for most channels falls between 2% and 10%.
Actionable Tips:
Design eye-catching thumbnails that accurately represent your content.
Write compelling titles with relevant keywords.
A/B test different thumbnail and title combinations to optimize performance.
Advanced Metrics for a Deeper Analysis
Ok, now its time to dive into the harder metrics of the handful to understand.
Unique Viewers and Traffic Sources
Unique viewers play a significant role in understanding your YouTube channel’s performance. As an estimate of the total number of individuals who watch your content, this metric sheds light on the size of your audience, which is essential for assessing your channel’s reach and potential for growth.
By tracking unique viewers, you can identify which content resonates most with your target audience. This information can guide your content creation strategy, helping you produce more of the videos that attract and retain viewers.
For example, if you notice a surge in unique viewers for a specific video or video series, it’s a strong indication that your audience enjoys that particular content.
Capitalizing on this insight, you can create similar videos or expand on the topic to maintain and grow your viewership.
Furthermore, analyzing traffic sources can unveil valuable information about where your viewers are discovering your content. YouTube provides a breakdown of traffic sources, such as:
YouTube search: Viewers who find your content through the platform’s search feature.
Suggested videos: Viewers who click on your content when it appears as a suggested video alongside or after other videos.
Browse features: Viewers who discover your content through the home page, subscription feed, or trending section.
External sources: Viewers who arrive at your content via external websites, social media platforms, or direct links.
Understanding your traffic sources enables you to optimize your content and promotion strategies. For example, if a large portion of your traffic comes from YouTube search, it’s crucial to focus on search engine optimization (SEO) by using relevant keywords in your titles, descriptions, and tags. On the other hand, if most of your viewers come from external sources like social media, investing time in promoting your content on those platforms and engaging with your audience can further boost your channel’s growth.
In summary, unique viewers and traffic sources are vital metrics for assessing your YouTube channel’s performance. By examining these analytics, you can refine your content and promotion strategies to better connect with your target audience and accelerate your channel’s growth.
Engagement Metrics
Engagement metrics serve as valuable indicators of how well your content resonates with your audience and the extent to which it encourages interaction. Tracking likes, dislikes, comments, and shares can provide you with actionable insights that can be used to refine your content strategy and foster a stronger connection with your viewers. Let’s delve deeper into each of these engagement metrics and their implications:
Likes: A high number of likes is a clear sign that viewers appreciate and enjoy your content. This positive feedback not only boosts your channel’s credibility but also increases the likelihood of YouTube recommending your videos to others. To maintain a high like count, consistently produce content that appeals to your audience, and consider asking viewers to like your videos as a call-to-action.
Dislikes: While dislikes can be disheartening, they also serve as constructive feedback, indicating that there may be areas in your content that need improvement. Analyzing videos with higher dislike counts can help you identify potential issues, such as controversial topics, misleading titles, or poor production quality. By addressing these concerns, you can enhance your content and reduce the number of dislikes on future videos.
Comments: A high number of comments typically suggests that your content sparks conversation and encourages viewers to share their thoughts, opinions, or questions. Engaging with commenters can further strengthen your connection with your audience and create a sense of community around your channel. Additionally, responding to comments can provide you with valuable feedback and ideas for future content.
Shares: Shares play a crucial role in increasing your content’s visibility and expanding your audience. When viewers share your videos on social media platforms or other online channels, they effectively endorse your content and introduce it to new viewers who may not have otherwise discovered your channel. Encourage sharing by creating share-worthy content, including engaging stories, helpful tips, or unique insights, and using a call-to-action to remind viewers to share your videos with their networks.
Fostering Community Engagement
You are growing the channel but you need to keep them engaged and coming back to the channel to help the snowball roll.
Responding to Comments
Engaging with your audience is crucial for building a loyal community. Make an effort to respond to comments on your videos, as this can foster a sense of connection and encourage viewers to return for future content.
Leveraging Social Media
Promote your content on social media platforms and engage with your audience to extend your reach and drive traffic to your YouTube channel.

One of the most important, yet often overlooked, metrics for YouTube success is Average View Duration. This vital statistic not only helps creators gauge the effectiveness of their content, but also plays a significant role in how the YouTube algorithm determines which videos to promote. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the intricacies of Average View Duration, discuss the factors affecting it, and provide actionable tips for improving this crucial metric.
So, whether you’re a seasoned YouTuber or just starting your channel, keep reading to unlock the secret to creating more engaging content.
What is Average View Duration?
Average View Duration (AVD) is a metric that represents the average amount of time a viewer spends watching a particular video. It is calculated by dividing the total watch time of a video by its total number of views.
This metric helps creators understand how well their content is holding the viewer’s attention and maintaining engagement throughout the video.
How it differs from other metrics like Watch Time and Views
Average View Duration, on the other hand, focuses on the quality of engagement by assessing how long viewers stay on a video on average. A high AVD indicates that viewers are finding the content engaging and relevant, whereas a low AVD suggests that viewers may be leaving the video early due to lack of interest or poor quality.
Why Average View Duration is important for YouTube algorithm and audience retention
The YouTube algorithm uses Average View Duration as a key factor when deciding which videos to recommend and promote. Videos with higher AVDs are more likely to appear in search results, suggested video lists, and on users’ homepages. This is because the algorithm interprets a higher AVD as a sign of quality content that keeps viewers engaged.
Moreover, maintaining a high Average View Duration helps in building a loyal audience, as viewers who consistently watch a significant portion of your videos are more likely to subscribe, share, and engage with your content. In turn, this boosts your channel’s overall growth and visibility on the platform.
Factors Affecting Average View Duration
There are many factors that can impact your Average View Duration. Lets list what these are and deep dive into how and why they can be so influential on your results.
Video length
You need to match the video length to the audience expectations. Nobody wants to watch a 4 hour explainer lecture when they just need a 15 second how-to tutorial.
Pros and cons of short and long videos
Short videos have the advantage of being easily consumable and shareable, often leading to higher view counts. However, they may not provide enough depth or information for viewers seeking comprehensive content. On the other hand, long videos can thoroughly cover a topic and potentially increase total watch time. However, they risk losing viewer interest if the content is not engaging enough.
Identifying the sweet spot for your content
Finding the right video length for your content depends on various factors such as your target audience, the nature of your content, and your presentation style. Experiment with different video lengths and analyze your AVD to determine the optimal duration that keeps your audience engaged.
Content quality
Relevance to the target audience
Ensuring your content is relevant and valuable to your target audience is essential for maintaining their interest. Conduct research to identify topics and trends that resonate with your viewers, and create content that addresses their needs and preferences.
Production value and editing
High-quality production and editing can significantly impact AVD. Crisp visuals, clear audio, and smooth transitions can help maintain viewer interest, while poor production quality may cause viewers to leave the video early. Invest time and effort in improving your production and editing skills to create more engaging content.
Audience targeting and demographics
Understanding your audience’s preferences
Knowing your audience’s preferences, such as their age, location, interests, and viewing habits, can help you tailor your content to their tastes. Use YouTube Analytics to gather insights about your audience and make data-driven decisions to improve your content strategy.
Catering content to their interests
Once you have a clear understanding of your audience’s preferences, create content that speaks to their interests and expectations. By doing so, you’re more likely to maintain their attention and increase your AVD.
Tips to Increase Average View Duration
Lets help to get you more views and keep them hooked for longer.
Grab viewers’ attention in the first few seconds
Importance of a strong hook With the abundance of content available on YouTube, it’s crucial to capture your viewer’s attention right from the start. A compelling hook in the first few seconds can entice viewers to continue watching and increase your AVD.
Examples of engaging openings
Pose a thought-provoking question
Share an interesting fact or statistic
Preview the video’s key takeaways
Use humour or tell a personal story
Optimize video structure and pacing
You need to make your videos more consumable and binge worthy. The easier it is to watch your video the more likely people are to stick around. Here are some ways to make your content more easy on the eye.
Break content into sections
Organize your content into clear sections to help maintain viewer interest and make your video more digestible.
Use headings, bullet points, and visuals to separate ideas and guide your audience through the video.
Use timestamps and visual cues
Adding timestamps to your video description or as a pinned comment can help viewers navigate your content more easily. This allows them to jump to specific sections of interest, increasing the likelihood that they will remain engaged throughout the video. Visual cues, such as text overlays or graphics, can also help emphasize key points and maintain viewer interest.
Encourage interaction and engagement
The more they engage the more YouTube can see they are satisfied with the content and willing to share across the platform to new audience members.
Asking for likes, comments, and subscriptions
Prompting viewers to like, comment, and subscribe not only fosters interaction and community building, but also signals to the YouTube algorithm that your content is engaging. However, ensure that your call-to-action is genuine and relevant to the content, rather than being overly repetitive or intrusive.
Incorporating polls and quizzes
Including polls, quizzes, or other interactive elements can boost audience engagement and encourage viewers to spend more time on your video. These features can also provide valuable feedback on your content, helping you make data-driven decisions to improve your AVD.
Analyzing Average View Duration for Continuous Improvement
The more stats you have the more you can learn from what does well, and what doesn’t. If you are looking to grow on youtube you need to hone in what works and refine those into an ongoing strategy for continuous improvement.
Accessing YouTube Analytics
To access and analyze your Average View Duration data, navigate to YouTube Studio and click on the “Analytics” tab.
Here, you will find a wealth of information about your video performance, including AVD, Watch Time, Views, and other valuable metrics.
Identifying trends and patterns in your data
Analyze your AVD data over time to identify trends and patterns that may indicate what resonates with your audience.
Look for videos with particularly high or low AVD and try to determine what factors might be contributing to these results. Consider the following questions:
Are there any similarities among videos with high AVD?
Does a particular topic or format perform better than others?
Are there specific points in your videos where viewers tend to drop off?
Adjusting content strategy based on insights
Once you’ve identified trends and patterns in your data, use these insights to adjust your content strategy accordingly.
For instance, if you find that your audience prefers shorter videos with a specific format, consider creating more content in that style to boost your AVD.
Continuously monitor your analytics and adapt your approach to ensure that you are providing content that keeps your audience engaged and coming back for more.

Welcome to the wacky, wonderful world of YouTube, where the quest for clicks, likes, and subscribes is a never-ending battle. Today, we’re taking a deep dive into a question that has plagued creators and audiences alike:
Do boobs really get you more views on YouTube?
We’ll explore the psychology, stats, and examples in this fun and friendly article, so buckle up and let’s get going!
The Psychology of Attraction
Let’s start with the basic human instincts. From an evolutionary perspective, our brains are hardwired to be attracted to certain physical traits that signal fertility and good health. For instance, the sight of a voluptuous bosom could evoke feelings of attraction as it suggests a potential mate who can nurture offspring. This is true for both men and women, albeit to varying degrees.
In the context of YouTube, this primal attraction can translate to more clicks on thumbnails featuring boobs, as it plays on our brain’s reward centre that’s geared toward seeking pleasure.
However, it’s important to note that other factors like humour, facial expressions, and intriguing visuals can also trigger the same reward centre, leading to more clicks and views.
The Stats: Boob-Thumbnails vs. Non-Boob-Thumbnails
Quantifying the “boob effect” on YouTube views is tricky, but some anecdotal evidence and informal studies have shown a correlation. For example, YouTuber Philip DeFranco conducted an experiment in 2012 where he alternated between boob and non-boob thumbnails for his daily vlogs. The result? Videos with boob thumbnails received significantly more views.
However, this isn’t a universal truth. A thumbnail featuring boobs may initially attract attention, but if the content is low-quality or irrelevant, viewers will leave quickly, causing watch time to suffer. In the long run, YouTube’s algorithm prioritizes watch time and engagement, so the short-term gains of a clickbait thumbnail might not translate to sustained growth for a channel.

While these statistics do not directly relate to the use of boob thumbnails on YouTube, they do demonstrate the enormous reach and influence of the platform.
Examples of Boob-Thumbnails in Action
There are numerous examples of creators using boobs in their thumbnails, whether they be gamers, vloggers, or pranksters. Some examples include:
Prank Invasion: This channel gained notoriety for its kissing pranks, often featuring thumbnails of scantily-clad women.
Zoie Burgher: A former Twitch streamer turned YouTuber, Zoie capitalized on her revealing outfits and thumbnails to amass a significant following.
VitalyzdTv: Known for his wild pranks and social experiments, Vitaly often includes provocative images of women in his thumbnails.
While these examples highlight the potential for boobs to draw attention, it’s essential to note that these creators also rely on engaging content to maintain their audience.
In other words, the boobs may reel viewers in, but it’s the content that keeps them coming back for more.

So, do boobs get you more views on YouTube?
The answer is both yes and no. While using boobs in thumbnails can certainly grab attention, it’s only a piece of the puzzle. Engaging, high-quality content is crucial for maintaining an audience and appeasing the YouTube algorithm.
So, if you’re a content creator looking to boost your views, remember that there’s more to it than just flaunting some cleavage!
In fact, if you have a question that you’d like answered, leave it in the comment section of the video, and I’ll make a dedicated response just to that, just for you. And of course, anybody else that wants to hear the answer.
YouTube is a weird platform. It’s all based on engagement. So based on who watches, how long they watch and how they interact with you. No doubt, many of times you’ve sat there and you’ve watched PewDiePie or MrBeast, or you’ve watched people like Graham Stephan, and they’re always like “Smash that like button, help me in the YouTube algorithm.”
They’re not too far off the truth if I’m honest, but there’s not a monetary value.
You clicking on that like button down there, you know, just test to see how the button works.
You clicking on that little button down there and turning it blue hasn’t made me any money. That won’t directly pay me 10 cents, that won’t give me coffee or an ice tea at the end of the day. But what it does do is show YouTube that I’m engaging enough to warrant some kind of emotional response, whether it’s a like, or a dislike, whether it’s a comment, whether it’s a share. And that engagement is very good for a YouTuber.
Let’s say that this video is 10 minutes long. I hope it’s not, but let’s say this video is 10 minutes long and you watch it for nine and a half minutes, and then you leave a comment, and then you click on another suggested video that I’m talking about at the end or on the right-hand side.
Well, that shows YouTube that I was able to bring you in, engage you for long enough to care to leave a comment, and then leave based on the suggestions that I’ve given you or the suggestions they have on the right-hand side.
You may have flipped off to one of my videos, or you may be on a video IQ,, or you’ve dived into a PewDiePie video.
YouTube doesn’t necessarily matter where you disappear to just yet. They like the fact that I’ve brought you in, engaged with you, kept you happy enough to want to watch more on YouTube, and then disappear.
So that Like, it’s kind of a small endorsement of that video, but, and this is where people get it twisted. So there’s a Dislike. Is that engagement enough that you felt that what I’ve communicated with you is either right or wrong, where you agree or you disagree, or you’re leaving a downvoting some way shape or form?
Maybe, I’ve asked, “If you like cheese, click vote up, and if you hate cheese, click vote down.”
That’s what you need to bear in mind. It’s an engagement. You’ve made people feel something enough that they’ve not just ignored the video and bounced away after 30 seconds, they physically had to go out of their way to press something on their screen or click something on their computer.
It’s this engagement that then YouTube evaluates.
So, let’s say this video gets 10,000 views and there is 8,000 likes and 2,000 dislikes and hundreds of thousands of comments.
YouTube looks at that and goes, “Okay, 8,000 likes 2,000 dislikes, that’s 10,000 like dislikes, and then there are hundreds of thousands of comments. Okay? So this is clearly engaging enough that people want to ask questions and have a conversation compared to another video where there are 10,000 views, but no likes, no dislikes, no comments. Nobody cares enough to engage. Nobody cares enough to comment or question or build some kind of discussion.”
So the video with likes, dislikes and comments will always rank over the one that doesn’t have any engagement.
What you should be focusing on is audience retention and engagement, and not have to worry about, “Oh, if I click on that, he’s going to get paid.”
Yes, if a video does better in search, and gets more views because of it, then maybe more people will see the adverse place against it, and then they will get paid.
Or in the case of some channels, it’s not about the adverts. Maybe they’ve turned off adverts entirely. What they’re trying to do is engage enough to build the brands, that in the long run, you trust them to buy coaching from them or some kind of thumbnail pack in which you want to improve your thumbnails, and maybe there’s a link in the description, and if there isn’t, keep checking my website in the future.
So that Like in itself, that individual click that you’re just about to leave on this video… No, doesn’t pay me directly, but in the long run it could help me make more money and that’s the same with any other YouTuber and any other video online.
