The Real Reason Your Videos BARELY Get Any Views
I am absolutely fired up about this week’s newsletter
Why?
Because inside this edition I’m going to be dropping some expert level YouTube game on you
There will be no generic YouTube tips in this email like:
Keep your titles short
Use a strong hook
Make good thumbnails
This YouTube game is going to have a profound effect on your channel’s success
Let’s dive in!
To start, let me ask you this…
Have you ever released a video you thought had:
The perfect title
An amazing thumbnail
Stellar content
And still the video flopped?
I know I have and it wasn’t until I learned about this next YouTube concept that my channel really started to take off
The core idea in today’s email revolves around audience relevancy
Audience relevancy pertains to how relevant your content is for your core audience
Before you can gauge if your content is relevant to your core subscriber base
First, you need to know the demographics of the people who are watching your videos
To do this, open up YouTube Studio
Go to “Analytics” on the left sidebar
Under the Audience Tab you will see a table called “Age and gender”
This table here gives you some insights into who your videos are talking to
So, if you made the best video on earth about living on a budget at 70 years old and it flopped
Maybe it’s because only 3% of your audience is even in this age bracket…
The key takeaway here is that you need to position your videos to appeal to your core audience
If your subscriber base watches your videos then YouTube will push your videos out to more and more viewers across the platform
This is why I talk a ton about niche alignment in Tube Freedom because if your core viewers aren’t interested then your video is destined to fail…
Here’s an example of audience relevancy being used well and poorly and the results that came with it:
Example 1: Richard Fain
In this video, Richard shares how to people can grow their wealth starting with just $150.
This video would be relevant to a ton of his subscribers for the sole reason that most of them have $150 and feel like this video could offer them actionable advice
Well, the results speak for themselves as the video has gotten over 370K views in just 10 days (good job Richard!)
Now here’s an example of a video that lacked audience relevancy and fell short
Example 2: Proactive Thinker
Here’s an example of where audience relevancy did not work in this creator’s favor
Why?
Well if you look at the title, clearly it’s directed towards people with $1M in the bank or more
How many people that are watching this channel realistically have this kind of money lying around?
Few…
As such, this video wasn’t overly relevant to most of the channels subscribers and the creator paid the price for that oversight (12K views on a 800k+ channel)
So before you make your next video ask yourself this:
“Is this video relevant to my audience?”
As you can see, this can be the difference between a 300K or 12K video
And I’d much rather see you achieve the former!
Until next week,
Adam
