[@pixelcoder]

This is 100% true. I posted a video several days ago and it barely got any views at all compared to my other videos, and yet the quality of the video itself was way better then anything I had ever done. Well the other day I changed up the thumbnail to see if that would help and several hours later.....still nothing. Then I wake up the next day and BOOM it is rapidly increasing in views! So yes, if the video is actually good but didn't do well try changing the title and thumbnail.

[@BackToTheBoomBap]

The end screen tip is a major key to reviving a previous video. I have a video from last month that had about 1K views until I released my next video this month. The newest video has almost 23K views now and from putting the older video in my end screens, the views have boosted to almost 4K views! Change the thumbnail if you need to, but if you link that video on a future banger video, it will start to get more views.

[@treatdizzinessathome2023]

This may be a silly question, but I am new to the tips and tricks of KZbin. When reviving an old video, do you change the thumbnail and title and re-release it, or do you just edit the old one and save the new changes? Thanks 😀

[@BackToTheBoomBap]

@@treatdizzinessathome2023 you just change the thumbnail in your KZbin studio. Scroll down to the thumbnail section it'll say change or download and just select download and you can just upload a new thumbnail. Then just click the save button and you're done.

[@Coldsmoking]

Valuable advice, I did this for one of my videos and it actually worked. Revisiting thumbnails on poorly performing videos is something I regularly do. Cheers Guys.

[@Kevinstats]

Great info, I would add - if this video is also getting search volume and all has failed, simply look for the number 1 phrase that people are searching to find the video and edit the title to match that at the start of the title. This can really help if you are more of a search channel.

[@MindfulPianoCover]

Great tip for small channels! Refreshing thumbnails and titles has helped me with a few videos that were stale!

[@theeternaloptimists365]

At 6:05 minutes into this video, he speaks about Impressions and shows a screen shot but he doesn't indicate the source of the screen shot. How can you find out if KZbin is still sharing your video with viewers?

What should I do ? Do I need to create another channel and shut down that old one with almost 190 subs and 65k views on total ?

[@ckp10]

[@Nurses-Bible]

One video got 8.8k watch hours , I need just 4K to monetize.. God will make a way 🙏🏻

[@Wannaknowofficial]

The funny thing is that I'm consistently bad at making thumbnails and titles. Every time I update them, the CTR stays basically the same

[@GretSanDiego]

I was kind of discourage to post videos after talking with a friend who also vlogs. I almost abandoned my channel. For almost a year in 2023, I didn’t post anything. A few weeks ago, perhaps a week before Christmas, I read an email from KZbin that they have a new monetization scheme and that my number of subs already qualified for it. I checked my public watched hours and I got around 1.7 or 1.8K. I was energized by the email that I started posting again. After 2 weeks or more (but below 3 weeks), I was able to reach 3043 watched hours. The moral lesson is: Don’t always listen to friends or family. Just do what you have/want to do.

[@OlayinaAstur]

I love the cat. You have to show him/her more Dan. I watched the video you talked in this one and I liked it. I had the brilliant idea to change the font I was using in the 3 words of the thumbnail of my most viewed video a year ago, my views dropped. I noticed a few days later (I don't like to watch analytics everyday it gets me stressed), I changed again the thumbnail and used the old one. Almost no views. I tried to change the title and it's the same. So advice to everyone: if it works don't change it. Thanks for the video.

[@HandsomeMax33]

I have two endscreen videos linked, playlists in the description and still never any fresh views on a video but on the newest one. Its not even time limited content, its timeless comedy/entertainment content. Literally any video's clicks get frozen forever, once the new one has been uploaded. Its like impressions are a limited currency that only big channels can afford for more than only their newest video.

[@HistoryBuffoon]

What do you do for a video to get more impressions in the first place? whats if its low amount mostly everytime? i have 5-6% ctr on most of my longforms but it doesnt seem to get many impressions overall

[@OpEditorial]

I've just been setting stuff to private and focusing on building my presence on other platforms. Pivoting away when you find you're not wanted can be a surprisingly powerful move.

[@DavidWhitten]

I know a lot of people are saying the same sort of stuff, but I’m gonna add my 2 cents😁. Now keeping in mind my channel is small, where I’ve been averaging 300-500 views per video. I did this for the last two videos on my channel at it totally worked. I changed the thumbnails and title on both, as I notice the videos were still getting impressions. It took a day or two but BOOM! The first video went over 1K views (which is big for my channel) and the second video is making the same slow climb. Anyway, if you read this, keep working hard! You won’t fail, if you don’t give up. Cheers👊!

Yet i decide to try out something a bit different than what commonly people do... let's finger cross and see how it goes 🙏🔥

[@SadmanHossainOfficial]

- The hook could be more specific about the problem it's addressing. Instead of just saying "videos that do not perform well", it could mention specific metrics like low views, low watch time, or low engagement. - The hook could be more concise. It takes about 12 seconds to get to the point where it promises a solution. Shortening the intro could make it more attention-grabbing. - The hook could use more emotional language to connect with the audience. For example, instead of saying "it takes your Creative Energy and it crushes it in an instant", it could say "it feels like a punch in the gut that drains your creative energy and motivation". - The hook could use more vivid imagery to paint a picture in the audience's mind. For example, instead of saying "have the dreaded 10 out of 10 rating stare you back in the face", it could say "see the red thumbs-down icon mocking you from the screen". Overall, the hook is good but it could be improved by being more specific, concise, emotional, and vivid. As a KZbin creator, you can use these tips to create attention-grabbing hooks for your own videos.
