YOUR YouTube Channel Could Be Bigger If You Weren't Doing This

[@ChattieCathie]

I love Hannah the Horrible. She grew pretty fast. I like this new format with examples. Glad you were super respectful AND truthful

[@NadeemLutfullah]

the one thing I take away from this video is: addressing your viewers as individuals, which is a great tip. I have consciously adopted that approach in my last few videos, thanks to this same advice you had mentioned on an earlier video as well.

[@RoadReality]

This is timely advice, Nick! I have 3 viewers I focus on in each video, and I try to frame each video with "what can any or all of those 3 viewers get from watching this?" Information, entertainment, some combo? I really need to start incorporating some of the tips you gave here, though - so THANKS!

[@NadeemLutfullah]

brilliant as always. you make the most sense compared to a million yt 'experts' out there. thanks Nick. I benefit a lot from your tips, one tip at a time. my progress as a creator is slow but steady, and I never give up.

[@NickNimmin]

I appreciate that!

[@ThunderChasers]

This is some of the best advice I've seen yet Nick. I for one, overlook these little details, and it certainly seems to have impacted performance. I'm going to try some of this in my next video and see what happens. Thanks!

[@ambientdave]

What a great informative video Nick! This has resonated with me,since you reviewed my channel a while back. Took lots of notes and currently working on my channel while taking a extended break I got a long way to go and kick my bad habits. I need to dust myself down ,dump the negative thoughts. Quick question for you; How do i go about addressing a single person when I record a video? I usually start off with a "hi everyone" or something,. Appreciate your thoughts on this,Nick

[@NickNimmin]

You can just say Hey. Imagine the camera is human and you just met them, what would you say? Or, you can tell the viewer, by using You, what you’re doing in the video or set up the video using the same approach.

[@ambientdave]

Thanks Nick! I could keep it simple like hi there, I need to practice at this approach.Time to polish up my presentation skills.

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

I'm primarily a landscape photography channel who also shoots birds occasionally. My latest video was about birding, and it blew up (comparitively). My previous most-watched video was also about birding. This tells me, bird photographers are much more into my content. I don't want to give up landscape shooting, but facts are facts.

Nick you're my #1 source for YT knowledge, this video helps immensely! Question: Here is a message inside the YT studio under Analytics. How can this happen suddenly? What might have changed? ...."Sometimes links to videos or videos embedded on websites and apps outside of KZbin get less attention or are no longer visible. Check social media postings and sites that feature your content." Thanks in advance 🙂

[@NickNimmin]

I'm wondering whether you had a shift in or reduction of External traffic in the last 28 days? Nothing bad at all, KZbin's just observing a shift I would say.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

So then End screens are pretty pointless right? We've been using them because they look more "professional", but have thought that our Outro lets people know the video is over before the end screen pops up with our playlists and recommended videos. So when doing our outro we should have the recommended videos pop up and ditch a formatted end screen altogether?

[@NickNimmin]

As soon as the content they are there for is done, have an end screen video or playlist showing while you do anything else. If you can build up the next video before sending them that seems to get more people over there.

Nice one Nick. I have made few changes in my intros to keep the engagement and now in a process of fixing the ending my videos that feels right to my audience.

It is just a matter of having the right mixture that is good for the audience. Take care mate and thanks again for another good video 🙂

[@MrGreen99]

The reason most people cant niche down is because they dont really have any value to offer in a specfic space. Thats where the problem starts. Not having value to offer

[@Crasher1982]

I found it easy to niche. I have an opinion on a tv series character I love, and I did that. Writing about her and giving my own view.

[@NickNimmin]

Sometimes they have value to bring, but cannot see it right there and then. It can be a process to figure out what uniqueness you can bring to the table.

[@Crasher1982]

[@DannyGallowsTunes]

If you’re looking for something else to grill, right here man! I’m an original musician, consistent uploads, quality content, and I believe I’m doing everything mostly right. Been stuck at a little over 1k subs forever. I don’t gain subs or loose them. No new attention whatsoever. This year I’m starting to implement more improvements so we’ll see what happens, but so far nothing has changed. Being a completely original creator is already going against me, but my channel feels like it’s completely dead, which is a very bizarre experience with all the content I release, and because KZbin is supposedly fantastic for music discovery. Not saying I’m expecting to have 100k subs, but my page just feels way too small for what I do, how much content I have, and how often I release. Feel free to roast!

[@NickNimmin]

For original music, you should be publishing vertical content everywhere, that’s the easiest way to get in front of people. The vertical content should be things like “I was feeling like x so I made this song, I hope you like it” and “I tried to make an entire song only using (limitation), here it is…” Grab their attention and then give them a taste of the music. If you’re playing it or acting like you’re playing it it’s even better. As you’re doing that I would try to do covers and full length versions of the originals people respond well to with the vertical content. As a musician on social media you’re not only a musician but also an entertainer. So set up the music in vertical, don’t just drop the music without context.

[@Goingsololivingwithless]

I would be interested to know how long you think an introduction should be before getting the meat of the video.

[@NickNimmin]

The shorter, the better. Confirm they are in the right place (restating the promise of the packaging) then get to it.

[@Preeth-S]

Hey nick , I have been trying to grow my lifestyle channel (PreShChronicles) using the tips you have been sharing, The primary problem is the CTR, the more the Impressions the lower the CTR , how do I fix this

[@NickNimmin]

That's totally normal. The more impressions you get, the wider audience you're video is shown to, the lower the CTR will drop. That's not a bad thing, its actually good because your content is getting shown to more people. This means that a good CTR is relative to the number of impressions a video may be getting. of course if it starts off already relatively low compared to similar videos on the same topic, that might indicate that your packaging is not doing a good enough job in winning the click. You could change the title and/or the thumbnail up to see if you can get a better response.

[@NickNimmin]

End screens are added either in the upload flow, or after uploaded via your Studio dashboard. On an iPad, you would have to open Safari and navigate to studio.youtube.com to access the full desktop dashboard. Go into Content, find the video in question, and tap on the Details and look for End Screens on the right hand side.

[@NickNimmin]

Right now, KZbin doesn't give creators any geo-blocking options when it comes to content. Now if you're streaming in a specific language, you can mark that under Language and Captions certification -> Stream Language. By default, it will default to your channel's default language. Under Licence and Distribution, there is option for Distribution, but the options are Everywhere or only Monetized platforms.
