Thanks for sharing your "still watching at first 30 seconds" stats. I never thought 70% was good for a thriving channel. It gives me hope. Have a great week!

I hit 1500 subs yesterday and monetized last month, I got my first check for $167.00!! It’s awesome and I wouldn’t even care if it’s $0.27, this channel helped me a lot and still does. Thank you!

Congrats

[@gloryceeyeditingacademy1]

How do you optimize your videos please?

[@beambreaker]

@@gloryceeyeditingacademy1 I try to use the title keywords in the first sentence or two in the video but definitely the first 30 seconds is key and also the description. Also the first 30 seconds is the most importantly the entire video in my opinion just like he says here! My last video from a couple days ago didn’t do very well and I think it’s because of that, the one prior on the other hand has a promise and is way more intriguing and it was my best video so far! It’s fun to see how the littlest things you can do make the WORLD of difference, it’s like night and day.

Thank you for this Sean. I just posted six videos (going live at midnight tomorrow on @remprompt) where I scripted everything in notepad... I literally spent TWO weeks writing out everything, including all the information displayed in the Description part of the video on KZbin (tags, description, affiliate links, feedback, etc.). I talk about writing prompts for Copilot AI. I spent the last few weeks going over dozens of THINK Media videos and taking NOTES! I totally agree with the need to script everything. Thank you for this video!

Love that as a new channel this sort of content is populating on my feed. Super helpful and informative for us newbies. I've gained about 40 subs in a month, baby steps but progress nonetheless. I'm feeling more confident with talking to the camera and trying new editing techniques which seems to be gaining traction. My set up is basic but not letting that stop me...Consistency is the key! Every new sub gives me that motivation to keep posting. We got this gang 💪

[@CraftyWhisperMamaASMR]

Right on POINT, per usual! ASMR is such a niche KZbin category, so educating myself on how to read and utilize my channel's analytics has proven to be CRUCIAL in its growth. I've only had an active channel for the past 6 months now, but I quickly realized how important THUMBNAIL and intro are! THANK YOU for another incredibly helpful video! Your layout is so easy to follow along with and understand; which is PERFECT for a 40-something mom-brained, ADHD-ridden KZbin creator like myself! 😂😂😂

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks for another great video... I peaked at 81 and my 10th was 64 however I do have a lot of videos that drop off fast so I am going to work on that 1st 30 seconds. That has been one of my greatest challenges in my niche. I have experimented with intro vs no intro but now realize the intro wastes most of that first 30 seconds and our regular viewers like it but new viewers may not and leave. So, lets see in about a month or two if these numbers improve.... again, thank you for your content! Big fan!!!

[@TinaHBeautifulJourney]

Around 15 minutes in, talking about creating a video about mistake ls you made, and idea fir a videi popped into my head fully formed, hook, authority, and 8 bullet points. I pausedntonwrite it down and in about 5 minutes, I had it. It dienlsnt hapoen often, but man I live it when it does. And that's why I have small notebooks everywhere. If I don't write it down immediately, it's gone.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Lessons I need to keep learning. Your detailed, structured tips have helped me over the years. I too often jump into a video without that focus on the intro and it is difficult to fix in the editing as a result.

[@Dom-FPV]

On the first of August this year I have decided I wanted to document kind of my experience learning to Fly FPV drones, well I probably haven't planned this well as now I am posting, or try to post video of me flying around my drone. I think the channel has grown well in the first month or little over, but I did noticed that I do struggle with audience retantion, some of my videos only retain like 17% of the viewers until the end and I mostly lose 50-60% of them after the first 30 seconds, I thought that especially my latest video would have done better in retantion but it actually turned out worse than the previous. I am still learning to edit and shot videos - trying to find and put in practice all the tips and tricks I can find and surely I will start planning my shots more deepely. I have to say tho, that I am still not so confident talking to a camera in an open area sourraunded by other people.

[@dvampofo]

I credit my success of understanding the analytics of my channel and learning when to schedule my videos to this channel. Thanks Sean and Think Media team.

[@Uz_interview]

One advice! To all new users including me🥹after editing your content, set time before a day when you wanna post it. It’s gonna be premiere and It’s gonna help you get get more on… (don’t forget to be consistent 😉) it’s key of luck 🍀cuz consistency makes you experienced 😎

[@superboyjamie]

Thank you for this tip! It takes a boatload of patience in order to NOT post videos as soon as they're ready and to HOLD BACK from posting and to schedule making them public until later. I got six videos scheduled for midnight. See how that goes. I have never done it this way before. I batch recorded, edited, and prepared the videos. I didn't set any to premier, though. Let me see if I can still do that to one of them. Thanks!

[@Uz_interview]

@@superboyjamie dude nothing comes easy, nothing comes for free, but I know one thing is consistency always wins always works. Don’t disappoint that! Whatever happens, if something comes easy it won’t be worth in your life…. Just take it easy and just hang in there 😉😉😉😉we are all one person❤️‍🩹

[@NadaMajdy]

I have over 22k subs but the thing is I had a year where I wasn't posting much due to my job and because of that people forgot about me and now I barely get 200 views per video. I honestly don't know what to do, do I lose hope in this channel and just start a new one? I see lots of new channels with similar content to mine and similar quality and they get more support from people and the algorithm

[@EmmasNatureEscapes]

You have to post at least 10-15 new long format videos every 2-4 days until you get the track back. Until then, +1 sub from me. Good luck!

[@TheButcherOfWallStreet]

Hey man great video. I've managed to grow to 40k subscribers but it's been a real grind as an educational channel about something that schools don't really help people learn about, stocks, finance, and macroeconomics. It feels like the viewers intelligent enough to understand are very hard to reach but once I do, they learn a lot and even teach me sometimes. I'm trying harder to increase the packaging and structure like you mentioned and will continue to do so as I'm very passionate about teaching people about finance and macro issues with solutions. Thanks for the video and info

[@savinggracechurch4112]

About six months ago, I had an idea how to improve my church KZbin channel. I watched other channels and noticed how predicable they were. I use a hook technique now as church KZbin channels would just publish a video with someone just taking or having a countdown clock at the beginning. This same content everytime. As you can imagine, people would probably just click away! Not only do I put a unique 20-second hook on the beginning but use lots of not only visualy interesting B roll but captions on screen as well.

It all came from implementing Shorts and getting better at title, description, thumbnail, tags. My views on Shorts views got really good and just a week ago everything died again and im down to like as low as 4 views on a Short its crazy i dont know what changed and im very new to all this so im unsure of what i could do, so i watch alot of tutorials looking for something i can take Im a one man staff 😆 i just want to have steady growth im not having unrealistic expectations just need to know how to get my views back up again, so far nothing is working i was getting steady 500 views and subs everyday for several months now nothing Even going over 1k and 2k a couple times.
