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!

[@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.

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 🙂

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.

[@FigureFever]

[@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.

[@RustyGraffitiReviews]

Really awesome idea! I missed the post and wish I could have got thrown under the bus 🚌 on what I’m doing wrong or not doing right. I do the ending thing sometimes where I let the viewers know the video is about to end. Not very long but I do it sometimes

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

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.

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.

[@Adventureszwithmike]

Nick I like the part about speaking to an individual instead of like I'm taking to a crowd got to apply that tonight

[@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.

[@KABUCHWA.]

Hi .. thank you for your content.. please explain how to geoblock livestream.. I have another youtube account for livestreaming but i want to limit the teritory to be only my country can watch..there is a setting called 'Rights Management' .. i dont know where it is located .. thanks

[@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.

i have an ipad that i do all my videos and youtube uploads on but cant figure out how to do those little “in screen” (other) video links. i make my videos on “imovie”. is there a way, once im loading it to youtube, to add that “inscreen” link to another video, with an apple ipad?

[@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.

[@gailsfoodandstuff]

@@NickNimmin ok, cool, thx, as i do have a separate icon for youtube studio, i will play around with that now, thx. - update… i looked and dont see that “end screen” option.

Might need a short scroll, so long as you're on the Details page. Its below the video player, Visibility, and Subtitles. You can also add them in the Editor, from the right hand menu.

Check your Upload Defaults in Settings in your Studio dashboard. A new upload should default to that, if set.

[@NickNimmin]

Unless you're in gaming, music or education, the category setting does not matter. Mine defaults to Film & Animation - i could easily go with How-to and Style - it really doesn't make a difference to how KZbin promotes your videos. Also, on every upload you can manually change it to what you want it to be. Also, the Feedback option is for providing KZbin with feedback - you won't get a reply unless KZbin needs some important information from you regarding a serious bug you're reporting. If you do have questions, you can use the Creator Support button in the top right of your Studio dashboard or sent a tweet to @TeamKZbin on Twitter/X.

You wouldn't just re-upload the exact same video, but you could re-edit it, turn it into a reaction video, or a compilation video, for example. If that video is still up and getting views, you could use a community post to do your Throwback Thursday to recommend classic videos each week.
