Episode Takeaways 

  • The way YouTube reports views and engaged views differs between long and short form content. Understanding the difference is important if you want to interpret this data correctly. Louie tells you all you need to know.

  • Track watch time and retention for each video you produce, and you can use that information, alongside what viewers say in the comments, to inform what kind of content you make in the future. 

  • YouTube SEO matters. Louie explains how to optimise your titles, thumbnails and descriptions. In particular, how to make them keyword rich so you rank well.

  • Use YouTube´s A/B testing to help you to get your SEO right and boost your chances of people clicking on your content.

  • Engage with your audience, encourage comments, connect with subscribers, and let their feedback help shape your video topics and style.

    BEST MOMENTS

    “Think about the first 30 seconds and how you're going to keep people hooked.”

    “If you’ve got a call to action, that's five minutes into the video, 10 minutes into the video, a lot of people won't get there.”

    “Try something new and see if it sticks. Honestly, no one's going to remember it if it's rubbish.”
