Evergreen Content YouTube - Way more important than you thought!

Evergreen content on KZbin is a way to catch three birds with on stone. Evergreen videos can do well in the Search, Home, and Suggested Videos at the same time. To show you how important this is, I studied 4000 channels and 34000 of their top performing videos. Is that a KZbin algorithm hack?
---
On this channel I want to give you the knowledge and insights to simplify your KZbin growth journey. Expect tutorials as well success stories of other KZbin creators - all aimed towards giving you practical growth strategies.
I host a Morningfame Q&A live stream every month. Keep an eye out for the scheduled events. Simplifying KZbin growth one question at a time.
Cheers, Nico

[@Boodlebobs]

Hi Ian, have the formation of an idea for a collab with you on licensing, fair usage & strikes, if you'r interested. Background concept, musician Roger posts his own song #PLIM and receives a copyright strike from the record label (me). In his outrage, he reaches out for legal advice and he finds out he has fallen foul of most of the pitfalls. And is the victim of unscrupulous business practices. Have a think about it, if you think this is something worth considering, it would be good to hear from you. Cheers . Luke

My pleasure Ian! :)

[@TimRoseOfficial]

I am always blown away by your analytics stuff Nico, it's one of my favourite topics because it's truly fascinating to see the data visually, it makes it pop and makes sense of things in a much easier way. I am also blown away that you took your data from thousands of channels, that must have taken you a long while so THANK YOU for doing that my friend, it's greatly appreciated.

[@Morningfame]

High 5 Tim! Thanks a lot. Indeed, it’s quite some work. But it also goes hand in hand with my current development of the Algorithm tab in Morningfame. For this study I had to develop a classifier that identifies evergreen videos and that classifier - extended to detect more video types - may come in handy for my tool. 😃✌️

[@TimRoseOfficial]

@@Morningfame Wow Nico so you are a programmer too?? I am blown away!

[@Morningfame]

Haha, you flatter me. :) Programming is actually my main skill. Without it I definitely couldn’t have built the Morningfame tool.

@@Morningfame Wow Nico, I didn't even realize you had built a tool since I'm newer to your channel! Though I have heard Brian mention your name a few times it didn't click for me!

[@Archiischool]

Hey Nico. Is trying to rank for search the best way to grow to 1000 subs?

[@Morningfame]

Absolutely, it is! That was actually why I was motivated to do this study to show how far optimizing your videos for search can take you even beyond your first subscribers. Btw, did you watch the previous episode of this video? I actually answered/debunked a common argument against focussing on search: kzbin.info/www/bejne/laqunJxtnM-fnc0 And a quick look at your channel tells me that yours is even really well suited to rank in search. Your topics are very evergreen.

@@Morningfame Thanks Nico. I am trying to digest this information and the new info from Brian. It is giving me great insight and ideas, now I need to research, reference and try and do some test videos. Onwards and upwards :)

Perfect. Cheers buddy! It’s indeed one thing for me to talk about it in a general way but a whole other thing for everyone to put it into practice. If we would look at each channel individually I bet each one has its own take to make that work. Keep it up! And I am glad that I can inspire you. :)

[@TheWaterBox]

Evergreen is what carries my channel especially when I decide to take long breaks. All my new videos get recommends from all my evergreen videos which helps boost them when released. Even better when your evergreens get ranked high on google/youtube. That's why I strive to do as many as I can.

[@TheWaterBox]

Another habbit I do is take those evergreen topics and make a series of videos on it and put it in a playlist. That works great as well

[@Morningfame]

Excellent point about evergreen videos bridging the gap when we take breaks. And indeed, they constantly send new people to your channel and I bet you combine it with the “latest upload” card in the end screen. Big win! 👌

[@ScullyPop]

This is a video to be proud of.

[@Morningfame]

Thanks a ton Scully! :) I had this study in mind for a long time but when I finally did it, I was truly blown away. That makes me wonder what else the data will be able to tell us in the future?!

[@XxMr1XxX]

[@DifferentLevel]

Great video once again Nick, always trying to go for evergreen content going forward, used to just do the 'trending' topics in past but found this type of content was more useful in the longrun.

[@Morningfame]

Cheers to that! Trends can be very good to get your channel to the next level so to say but indeed, evergreen is what truly keeps your channel on the higher level and growing more in the long run. We could kinda look at our daily views as a stack of evergreen videos. The more videos you add to that stack the more the channel sees sustained growth. After all they not only drive views all the time but also converts new viewers into subscribers. Virtuous circle! :)

[@goodmind]

Great video as always Nico!

[@Morningfame]

Thanks Eugen! 😃✌️

[@SpoonLady]

Thanks for all of this information... have you thought about doing a study on translations and captions? How does translating your video adjust the way the algorithm works?

[@Morningfame]

My pleasure Abby! I once did a study about closed captions in your original language - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZWtamqbpNRkncU - but I did not look into the aspect of having translations. But at least I can tell that the channel “Zap zockt” - I talk about it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3PUnZuOnpKZpbs - can see an increase of viewers watching his videos with a foreign language CC turned on. I also see that with my few own videos where I added e.g. Spanish CC. All you need to do is to make sure that your CC in the original language is error free - you may edit the few mistakes in the automatically generated closed captions - and then you can add a new language via KZbin Studio, select to create new closed captions, and then use the Autotranslate feature. This is the quickest way to create them and then you can check your analytics to see how much it is used by your viewers.

[@SpoonLady]

@@Morningfame I had a video spike pretty heavy in Russia last spring, so I've been interested ever since.

[@Morningfame]

Interesting! Could you check your analytics for this spike to see (1) how many actually watched the video with your Russian closed captions and (2) which traffic sources like Search, Browse, Suggested etc. brought you the views?

[@SpoonLady]

[@JonathanEBoyd]

another brilliant video filled with knowledge i always find these kind of studies interesting thanks for all your helpful videos great work

[@Morningfame]

High 5 Jonathan! Gaining new knowledge is really what motivates me as well to create these videos. Let’s what we can uncover next!

[@SilverHeist]

All good advice and I have seen this a few times with the 5 or 6 videos whose views > sub count. I think the suggested is stricter than search and browse in wanting longer view times. My 4 or 6 minute videos are less likely to reach my tip top than the 9 or 10 minute ones.

[@Morningfame]

Interesting aspect! So you say that your shorter videos have kind of a ceiling of how far they can get in suggested, right? Mmh, maybe I should look into the video length / average view duration aspect and how the algos respond.

[@SilverHeist]

I have 5 or 6 with views > subs. Many factors but shorter length ultimately gets thru some doors but not others. With best of best trending longer view time. Success breeds success. What is suggested for awhile might transition to - top browse for other viewers.

[@Morningfame]

I see. Yea, that is very much in line with our knowledge that click-through rate and average view duration make or break how well videos can do on KZbin. Of course, the video topic itself is even more important but really tough to quantify. Thanks!

[@ParisSister]

Very inspiring... I am experiencing this phenomenon ; a video I made 4 months ago suddenly started to be featured as « suggested video » and generating good # and minutes. And other videos that were hot (social/economic subject) had very high pick during 1-2weeks and now almost « dead ». I give you a thumbs up and subscribe!

[@Morningfame]

Interesting observation! Indeed, evergreen content can be very powerful like this. Videos on trend like you say behave much different. They are more suited as a one-off that drive new audiences to your channel. A mix could work well with the evergreens being the very dependable part of it. Welcome to my channel by the way! :) Cheers, Nico

[@ScottFichter]

Nico when you referr to "Evergreen" are you suggesting that they are global trending topics or videos that have performed well over time at your own channel?

[@Morningfame]

Evergreen are global topic in a sense. But not trending topics. Trending would be something that is e.g. currently in the news and after some time not interesting to people anymore. Evergreen topics are topics that people want to know about all the time. Like how to tie a tie, how to do certain things in Photoshop etc. Timeless things. And of course if you do it right then those video are indeed performing well on your channel for a long time. The evergreen video that I showed from my channel for example is driving views for over a year now.

[@brooklynsix1931]

Morningfame after watching the video, THIS reply was the easiest for me to understand what ARE evergreen videos 😂

Thanks Glinda! I am glad this makes more sense with my reply. :)

[@brooklynsix1931]

Hi! Great video. Do you have suggestions on the best way to find global topics specific to a niche? Thx

[@Morningfame]

Thanks Glinda! There are tons of ways. But the most straight forward one is to play around with the search bar suggestions. Just start typing a search term that people in your niche would use and then look at what suggestions pop up below the search bar. I hope that helps! Cheers, Nico

[@pauldoktor]

great, whwn ans whwre please give the url of screenshot from youtube thank you

[@Morningfame]

Here is the link to the scientific paper that I cited: ai.google/research/pubs/pub45530 You find a download link on that page.

[@huskysquad]

I've been scouring KZbin & searching google for information about varied video lengths and if they hurt the channel. This is an amazing topic that we've not seen any stats on, but I think could make a huge impact. For example: Can a channel upload how to videos that are about 6 minutes long, and also have vlogs stye videos that are about an hour long? Our audience loves both formats. Will this affect "positive watch time"? Would love to see the data/numbers behind this. Does a channel need to be consistent in the length of the video or stay within a specific watch time to "please" the youtube watch time algorithm? When we upload a shorter video after a long video, all numbers turn red even if the new shorter video has great watch percentage. Thank you for your fantastic content!

[@Morningfame]

Excellent question! I‘ll see what I can do. The tricky things will be, however, to extract an insight because the video length itself is a very weak factor. In your particular case you mention that your viewers enjoy the particular videos topics of your two formats. The video topic is imho a much stronger factor than the video length. Well, let‘s see!

[@huskysquad]

Thank you so much! It would be great to see this data. I even contacted google YT support to inquire about this, but they gave me a super vague answer and suggested that I simply focus on “keeping my viewers watching.”

[@Morningfame]

Yea, that makes sense. Please don’t get your hopes up. The video length just plays a minor role at best. What really matters is the average view duration. Of course, if the video is too short then the average view duration is limited by that. But high average view duration is mostly dependent on your skill to keep viewers interested while they watch your video.

[@huskysquad]

Morningfame yes I understand that part. What I mean is how the dashboard completely turns red and in the negative after I upload a short video right behind a long video. The percentage of watch time can be very similar, but the watch time itself goes down dramatically therefore causing all the numbers to look red on that new video on the the dashboard tile. The true question is: if it all turns red, does that mean it’s a automatic “negative” by KZbin. So for example, say my viewers watched 25 min of my one hour videos. In the new short video of 9 minutes long, they can’t possibly watch more than 9 minutes which is a HUGE drop in watch time and average view duration (both numbers displayed on the dashboard) . Get where I’m going?

[@Morningfame]

I see. In that case we have to talk about your average view duration instead of the video length. Obviously, the video length limits how long you average view duration can get but we know that KZbin looks at the average view duration. Indeed, it turning red makes us wonder. In general, that is not necessarily a bad sign. For KZbin’s algorithms it’s all relative. Meaning that your video competes with similar videos and the average view duration is used to determine which videos wins - i.e. ranks higher, gets recommended more often. Thus there is no average view duration that you need to reach. You just have to be better than the competition. Now, you have these two video formats which not only differ in video length and average view duration but also in the topics you cover there. Since those videos are about different topics, they naturally compete with different videos. So the big question is with which videos they actually compete. Your videos on your channel certainly don’t compete with each other. So a drop in average view duration doesn’t matter as long as the shorter videos compete with videos from other channels that have a similar average view duration. Ideally the other channel’s videos have a lower average view duration of course.

Hi Nico... you may not be an excellent actor yet, but you are always better at explaining and demonstrating complex themes, congratulations... in fact, numerical analysis is essential, engineer defect, to verify or not the empirical perception.. I always remember your excellent empirical explanation of "rice" about the concept of video gateway... thanks for all this series with a lot of information based on analysis of facts (numbers)... congratulations, best regards...

[@Morningfame]

[@Morningfame]

You are too kind my friend. :) Thanks for being part of it all! Yes, forward we go!

[@neurojitsu]

I have a question: what types or characteristics of videos make them BOTH evergreen AND SEO achievable? I'm guessing that the non-SEO evergreen videos are the sort of titles that would be made specifically for the suggested and home algorithms, ie they don't answer questions or address 'how-to' topics, but they trigger curiosity on the part of your target audience for your channel. Is that right? By SEO-achievable, do you mean simply videos made for search traffic? Or are there other qualities of videos that make them search-friendly? I have just done some research on channels (both large channels, and smaller ones) and their top-performing titles/thumbnails that would appeal to my target audience. So I plan to produce a smaller portion of my videos for suggested (aimed at my subscribers as they grow, these videos will 'teach' my audience the sort of video I want to make and allow me to test what works), and the majority for evergreen search. I learned from a previous video of yours, that educational channels (compared to entertainment channels) will always have a higher volume of traffic from the search algorithm, so the plan would be to continue looking for evergreen searchable topics... so any advice on what this means would be useful!

[@Morningfame]

Great question buddy! “Evergreen” is a characteristic of the video. It means that the video topics caters to an interest that viewers have that lasts for a long time. People will always be interested certain things. On the other side of the spectrum we have trends that are of high interest only for a short time. Much of what you see in the news for example. So if you create an evergreen video then this means that there will always be people who are interested in watching it. But that is independent of how people actually find the video. They can find it through search or through the recommendation on their home screen for example. And to make sure that people do find your evergreen video we use strategies like KZbin SEO to make the video come up in the search results. Naturally KZbin Search is most of the times about questions that people ask. In any way, I recommend that you browse through possible search terms to get an understanding of what people are looking for using these techniques: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXXIdaacncx8hZI

You’re genius! Thank you for all your research and insight. Is a SEO of 85 good enough or should I aim for 100, even if this means that my text in the description get’s really weird? I have a dilemma with my tags: often I write two versions of the same tag: one with correct orthography (with the accents in Spanish) and one with not so correct orthography (without the accents) because sometimes it seems that the incorrect version of the search term is searched more, according to tube buddy. So then half of my tags I usually don’t use in my description because it would be strange to repeat myself and one time include a tag with the correct orthography in my text, and then again without the accents... But this has a negative effect on my SEO, because I have a bunch of tags just sitting there in the tag box that do not appear in my description.

[@Morningfame]

Absolutely my pleasure buddy! If you talk about the SEO score that TubeBuddy gives you then I couldn’t say. But in Morningfame you have a grading that answers that: If you get a B grade or better for Relevance then you are good to go. Yes, that way of adding tags is a good idea to explain KZbin the different spelling variants. And you shouldn’t include all your tags in your description anyway. Doing so is called “tag stuffing” and is not allowed by KZbin.

[@Clairsadventures]

Nico, I have bought a subscription to Morning Fame. A question: I have always wondered if watching the same video multiple times also count as more views. I ask because I have watched some of yours and other videos several times and just wanted to know. Thanks.

[@Morningfame]

Thanks a lot for your support Clair! I certainly know that watch time can add up in this case and you could e.g. produce a 200% view percentage. But that most likely only happens if you rewatch it straight away while you are on the watch page of the video. If you watch the same video e.g. on the next day then most likely another view is created.

[@YogaBlissDance]

NIco the key is they also need good view duration. I have successful videos in search but low view and they dont' get suggested. It's I think CTR PLUS HIGH VIEW DURATION TO GET SUGGESTED.

[@Morningfame]

You are absolutely right! CTR and AVD are an essential piece for all three algorithms. That plus the video topic which I look at from the perspective of evergreen-worthiness. 😃✌️

[@YogaBlissDance]

@@Morningfame ahhh thanks for reply, I guess it's that the topic is just either too competitive for me or not that searched... I commented elsewhere on your Advanced Tactics series that Darrel Eves talked about a strategy of working with ohter channels to put out similar content and boost each other and other tips to create a channel cluster....is this beyond the scope of Morning Fame?

[@RiverFox_YT]

I have a handful of videos that are up to date months old that have hit 47k views. Yet my daily vids barely hit 100 subs. Can not work out why.

[@Morningfame]

It’s actually very common that only a small portion of the videos of a channel really take off. You can actually see that as a plus that you made some of them that amazingly successful! However, you wonder for a good reason nonetheless. What you are possibly missing is to foster an active subscriber base who keeps coming back to watch each and every new video that you upload. That is actually also very important to trigger the algorithms and thus the bigger your active subscriber base gets, the more likely your videos can take off. I talked about this in more detail here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnrGl2udr8-sZ7M

[@RiverFox_YT]

@@Morningfame thank you very much for your reply, I will check that out. I'm very lucky that I'm a gamer youtuber and my videos are a continuation of quests so when they find my earlier videos of the first quests and subscribe, they are more likely to come back again and again as they progress through the quests that I do daily. But it does worry me how I can gain 50 + subs a day but my new videos don't get very many views until they are a few months old. I'll check your other video and keep up the great work.

[@Morningfame]

Good point! The series approach that comes more natural for gaming channels is really a great way to keep subscribers active on a channel. But indeed, with so many new subs you should do better. That said though, in gaming people are much more willing to subscribe than in other niches. But just as your reference, across niches I measured that keeping 10% of your total subscriber count active is actually a very strong performance. In your case that would equate to 533 views from subscribers with each new video that you upload. So you are not too far from that.

[@RiverFox_YT]

@@Morningfame you are extremely helpful. Thank you so much. I know I have some subscribers that I often speak with in the comments time and time again, and even play with them in the game. It seems very random how many views I get. I know a lot of my content gets more views later down the line because I do videos about certain quests in the game. I know not all people will need to watch every video straight away if they don't need to do that quest yet. I have changed my thumbnails recently which has helped a little with daily views. But I can't quite find what it is that makes them want to watch the daily videos as one video gets say 300 views in a 24hr period, and another of the same sort of thing gets 50. So it's all trial and error

[@Morningfame]

@@RiverFox_YT Indeed, it is trial and error unless of course you can copy from very similar channels what they learned in their trial and error. But that’s not bad. It is a process of figuring out what makes people keep coming back. You have a great mindset in this regard. Keep it up!

Great question Yonnel! Exactly. Like Lewis says, everything that fits a search term that people search all the time, is evergreen-worthy. Top lists, references to classics like Laurel und Hardy, or even doing parodies on non-humorous topics which you tend to actually already do. Btw, to see if a search term is evergreen-worthy you can actually use Google Trends. In Morningfame’s keyword tool you can click the “Further Analysis...” button in step #3 to go there quickly and check if the search term has an all time high in the past year.

Haha, do that buddy! That’s the beauty of looking at all the data that it shows insights that a much more than I personally experience on my own channel. Let’s see what I can share next! 😃✌️

Please make a research about WORSE videos in order to exclude the misstake of a survivor. We know those guys do well. What we do not know what had lead to the fail others. Whic are bigger in numbers.

Could you explain your question in other words? I am sorry, I don’t understand your question yet.

@@Morningfame kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKqvh3ysd86Xf6M Your researches based on top performers. They are survived. Those who fail are not researched. But all who fale share the same misstake or action. I am offering you to research losers instead of winners

[@Morningfame]

That is a very interesting thought! But I think there is a distinct difference between the survivor bias and finding out which strategies work on KZbin. There are many factors that make a video successful. And with looking at the successful videos, we can identify what they have in common and therefore identify what could have caused their success. For that, we don’t need to look at the not successful videos because they don’t represent a blind spot like in the survivor bias. The only thing that the not successful videos can teach us is that a certain strategy is not the cause of a successful video’s success. My approach here - I didn’t mention that in the video - is to cross-reference it with information we officially got from KZbin so that it backs up the conclusions that I make. One very important piece of input is this paper from Google engineers: ai.google/research/pubs/pub45530

@@Morningfame what if you will find out that all failed viedos has THE SAME factors as successfull? Do you know this 100% thta they are different? If no - you need to research. Because what makes others fail works 90% of time. If you will find that it proves your point of view - Excellent. But what if not? You may be the next to fail. The other thing. Instruments serves not the purposes the majority thinks. Recomendations working not for those who majority thinks of. It is RPODUCERS )))) He he he You missing the whole system man. KZbin is not only about views. It is about producing. So recomendations influence producers more to produce content. What am i saying - the world is always about to trick you. So make research please ))) For me ))))

[@Morningfame]

You are totally right and I get what you mean. But the whole premise of this video is to look at videos that drive a constant amount of views each day. The videos that I excluded just don’t do that. That said, I’ll keep an eye out to not accidentally forget about a possible blind spot.
