YouTube – How to create content that keeps people hooked!
- Success on YouTube doesn’t look the same as other channels. You’re not asking people to subscribe or like your videos, although of course they will when they love the content!
- The way to make YouTube work for you Geospatialer is to create content that your audience wants to watch, and by watch I mean get right to the end of a video and not just switch off halfway through.
- This little signal tells YouTube that they might like to see more content like this and it will share related videos to that person. For example, a video describing a topic in surveying from you can then be followed up with further content from you talking about the details of another topic in the survey industry.
- YouTube wants to keep users on its platform so creating content that keeps viewers hooked is the key!
YouTube checklist:
✅ Content, content, content – create what your audience wants to watch and they will watch it to the very end
✅ Have a scroll stopping thumbnail – it’s the first thing your audience sees so it needs to be bright and bold enough to make someone stop the scroll
✅ Have an eye catching title (see Rami’s below) – make your audience want to click the title and view your content to find out more from you
