You’re BLEEDING Views If You're Not Using THIS YouTube Trick
On YouTube there is a golden rule
Understanding and implementing this rule guarantees your YouTube success
What is that rule?
The more money you make YouTube, the more money you make yourself…
As a beginner, this concept was hard for me to understand
I figured that I just had to show up daily, try my best and YouTube would reward me
While consistency did play a part in my own YouTube success
Understanding the intentions of the platform did more for my channels than I could have believed…
What many people forget is that YouTube is a business
It’s a business that’s in the business of making money money
One of the primary ways it does this is by selling ad space to companies
You know those annoying ads you see before, during and after a video?
That’s YouTube making money…
And the more ads they show, the more money they make
So, where do you fall into YouTube’s money making plan?
Simple, you make videos that offer YouTube the ability to serve ads to users
The more watch time your videos get, the more ads played on your videos
The more ads played on your videos, the more love YouTube will show you
That’s why in Tube Freedom I talk about the importance of ideas, structuring and storytelling with respect to audience retention
Sadly through, amongst the 100s of students I’ve worked with I keep seeing people make one costly mistake…
This mistake is costing them views, watch time and a ton of progress
What is that mistake?
Misuing their video end screens…
What I see most commonly are creators asking for 1001 things at the end of their videos
They will say, “make sure to like, comment, subscribe, wash my car, call your mom and head on over to my website to buy my product” all in one breath…
Most viewers can only handle executing one engagement at a time
It’s in my opinion that the best call to action for watch time is to send your viewers to another related video…
This is a tip that Ed at Film Booth has absolutely mastered…
Click on the video above to watch the last 10 second of his most popular video
See how he entices his audience to watch another one of his videos…
By selling another view, Ed keeps people on his videos longer
This tells YouTube that Ed is generating the company more watch time
More watch time means more eyeballs on ads and more money for YouTube
And as I said in the beginning, when you make YouTube money
YouTube rewards you
It’s no wonder this video has 2.5 million views…
Before I leave you today, let me share a few examples to really drive this concept home
Let’s say you run a productivity channel
You make a video called “10 productivity hacks of the world’s richest people”
The last point is how they work with their phone in another room to remain focused
At the end of the video you could say…
“Over the last 7 days I tried working with my phone in another room and if you want to see just how powerful this productivity hack truly is then click on this video here”
Another example could relate to a car channel
You make a video called “10 fastest cars built in the 1990s”
At the end of the video you could say…
“As you can see there were some insanely fast cars built in the 1990s but if you want to see how they compare to cars built today you’re going to want to watch this video next”
This concept right here is what I call “linking”
It’s how channels turn 1 view into 2
And when this compounds over the course of all your videos
Your watch time, session time and bank balance will all start to increase
TLDR: Don’t neglect your end screens
Until next week,
Adam
