Tips to Improve your YouTube Presence

• Determine your goals for the channel

• Keep your videos short. In today’s world, viewers want short pieces of information. 5% of viewers will stop watching videos after one minute and 60% of viewers drop off after two minutes. Short videos can boost the number of people who get to the end of your video. These videos have higher retention rates, making it more likely to capture the viewer's attention and for longer. 

 

• Design thumbnails that pop! This is the first impression of your business to the user and is really all you have to market your video until you start to build an audience. 

 

• Title your videos with search engines and humans in mind. Include a keyword, but make sure the title is enticing to your audience. 

 

• Engage your audience via comments.
