 So I thought I'd give you some quick tips for making longer videos and getting longer watchtimes on your videos from you know the king of making really long videos where you just talked me and First of all, I'd like to address why You want to have you know long video watch time in the first place so the reason you want to have a long watch time is because As you know YouTube says that what they value most in a video is watch time It's how long did somebody watch this video and we're not talking about you know relative watch time meaning Like let's say you have a video. That's like an hour long and somebody watched it for 30 minutes It doesn't matter if it's an hour long and somebody watched it for 30 minutes If it's 30 minutes long and somebody watched it for 30 minutes What YouTube does care about is how much absolute watch time every video have so you could have a 10 hour video and People watch like 50 minutes of it It's still going to get promoted a lot higher Than a 30 minute video that people watch 20 minutes of you know of the same content And the reason is because YouTube and the various networks You know the social media channels, they're all competing for the consumers Attention because in the past it would be YouTube would be more about you know keyword search Like how can we make this you know the best keywords win just like Google? But now people are the channels are competing to get your attention so Facebook You know wants you to stay on Facebook Instagram wants you to stay on Instagram, you know, they might switch Instagram might send you to Facebook, but that's because Facebook owns Instagram, but And so just like YouTube can send you to Google, but snapchat will never send you you know It's outside of there Because it does why would it you know send you there and if it does it's like Okay, I have to you know just like Facebook you post a video It's you don't even you can't even play the video from your Facebook app You have to go to the link that's because they're competing with YouTube on videos So anyway, you know as I've said I'm the king of over talking YouTube is promoting videos based on watch time so if somebody made a video about meditation and you made a video about meditation and People watch your video an average of three minutes and they watch their video an average of 15 minutes That video is gonna kill your video, you know, even if it has slightly less good keywords Because it's just a lot more profitable for YouTube to keep you there. So One example is you know a guy who's like really Got him big because of this one thing is a guy from a channel named actualized.org on YouTube this guy is basically His name is Leo and he just he makes videos. He has like a black pitch black screen behind him his face is like this like Like this when he's talking something like this and that basically all his videos are like that and he talks about pretty much Every single subject, you know related to self-development sort of like me But every video he does is between 30 minutes to two hours So he's really like making the long videos and he's he meditates a lot He meditates an hour a day like I used to But he's doing it for years. So he's like a hypnotic as shit Like he can be really hypnotic when he speaks so he gets really really long watch times So, you know when you seek something like okay, how to meditate You're gonna find his video pretty much always like at the top Because and it's like such a strong, you know keyword. It's like how to meditate it It couldn't be a more popular keyword and why is he at the top because he People watch his content them likes for so long in every sitting so You know somebody might make a video about meditation, you know the competitive competition you could say And it's like a five minute video or three minute video a 10 minute video a 15 minute video a 20 minute video And then you have his video like bam one hour 30 minutes one hour video You know and people actually watch it like most of the way through if not all the way through on average And that's why his videos like blast up on the rankings even though he's using super Popular super competitive keywords. So again the more The more watch time you have per video Absolute watch time the more that video is gonna go up. So If YouTube is gonna have to make a decision, you know, and it's it's not a real human being making that decision It's an anthropomorphic, you know, it's like the algorithm if it has to make a decision between you Your video and somebody else's video and knows that your video is gonna have much more watch time It's gonna choose you every time So this explains why you want a long as long watch time as you can possibly get and I hope you're completely aligned on that. So, you know, that's like the biggest way You can market yourself. You need to of course learn a bit more about keywords and you know How to actually rank it how to actually write the best titles and keywords so that you actually get, you know Searched for but beyond that. It's just a matter of the long watch time. The more watch time you have That's like the biggest factor for ranking higher on YouTube. It's not subscribers. It's not anything else It's just how much watch time are you gonna get? so Now that we're over that Let's talk about actually Making the video. So let's say that you Have a coaching channel and You want to talk about coaching related videos or or maybe a fitness channel or a makeup channel, whatever it is And what what you want to do is you want to ask yourself a few questions Before you make your video and that's what's gonna allow you to get that longer watch time and these questions Christians that are meant to bring out the human side the personality of you out into the surface So the example for some of these questions would be Why is this subject so important to me so why is it important to me? For me to talk about this subject another question could be what is a good story that I can tell About this subject like how it happened to me another question could be what happened when I applied what I'm teaching In this video another question could be what happened when I didn't apply what happened to this video So you're gonna see a common theme of that, you know, I don't do it Intentionally but I do it unintentionally at this point When I make my videos where I would make a video and I'd say like blah blah blah it's all about the daily habits and When I didn't apply the daily habits and this happened to me and this happened to me and When I started applying daily habits this happened this happened all and the client this happened to him And this is why daily habits are so important So the reason I can talk so much about everything is because I just put my personality out there. I just I Let myself speak about the personal shit. I don't just talk about the subject And I'm like, okay, that's the subject Now, you know, I have to say it very fast and when I say it, you know, I have to finish the video It's like it's not like, hey, this is a subject. This is subject Done. Okay. Yeah, I don't want to waste your time You know, because most people the reason they they're so bad about making long videos is because they're afraid of Wasting other people's time. So they're like, oh, I'm such a piece of shit You know, if I don't have anything good to talk about it means I'm wasting somebody else's time And I want to make sure that I, you know, I'm have to speak it so properly Because everybody's time is so important and you know, you don't even take into account that the guy who's watching, you know It just it was just watching like like a 20-minute, you know prank or something on YouTube and Yeah, you really have to put your personality personality out there and these questions are like what makes it really really Simple not easy but simple once you get used to it. It is easy like for me at this point It's a lot easier to put my personality out there than it was like two months ago when I was, you know Kind of just starting out, you know, of course I had like a lot of videos before but just started out starting out with like making videos consistently every day Especially five videos a day so So these are my tips basically it's to again number one is realize the importance of Watch time once you realize how important it is You're not going to want to make it short because you realize that the longer it is the more you get rewarded for it And number two tip is again ask yourself these questions That will allow you to to to basically bring out the human side of the of the Video where you talk about again what matters to you as a human not just about the subject as a whole So I hope this makes a lot of sense You know, feel free to in the comments like write down.
