Use Insights from YouTube Analytics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regularly check your<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Dxemdyg40gg\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">video analytics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to see the health of your channel, what\u2019s performing (and what\u2019s not), opportunities for growth, and much more. Pay attention to these areas:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Realtime views: Especially important to see how new videos are performing<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Audience retention: See the average view duration of your videos, where people are dropping off, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Demographics: This shows the age range and locations of your viewers.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traffic sources: This shows where your video views are coming from<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click through rate (CTR): Look at the performance by video and optimize<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Channel Health Report in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/\">TubeBuddy<\/a> gives you an AI-driven dashboard that puts all these actioanble insights in one place.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/Tips\/sam6.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-11-do-more-of-what-works\">11. Do More of What Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason we dig into all these analytics is to get a snapshot of what&#8217;s working and what&#8217;s not. Take the lessons and apply them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If channel growth is your main objective, look at what videos get the most subscriber conversions per view (subscribe rate). If watch time is your goal, adjust for that. Things to take note of in those high performing videos:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The subject matter<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The editing style of the video<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long it was<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calls to action used<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How the content was delivered<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have that information, you will start to understand what kinds of videos you should be producing more of.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-12-test-test-and-test-some-more\">12. Test, Test, and Test Some More<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Run structured tests, and only test one variable at a time. See how the test impacted performance and apply the winning formula.  A\/B testing videos is a lot of work but A\/B testing thumbnails, video different video descriptions, or different titles isn&#8217;t.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/blog\/how-to-a-b-test-youtube-titles-descriptions\/\">TubeBuddy A\/B testing tools<\/a> make it easy<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but it is possible to A\/B test manually as well. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, you could test the following:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Video titles<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Video thumbnails<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Video descriptions<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Video tags<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This will give you incredible insights on what attracts your audience, gets the most clicks, views, subscribers, better rankings etc. and will allow you to do more of what works (and keep improving).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-13-jump-into-the-comments\">13 Jump Into the Comments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Engaging directly with your viewers and community pays dividends. When you engage people by replying to their comments, you validate them and might even earn a subscriber in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How engaged YouTubers are is also a factor in how YouTube recommends videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comments can also be a goldmine when brainstorming new topics; just look at what your viewers are asking for. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/Tips\/sam7.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This logic applies to creators leaving comments on other creator&#8217;s videos. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leaving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/blog\/how-to-create-perfect-youtube-comment\/\">insightful comment<\/a> on videos that relate to your channel&#8217;s topic is a great way to get some extra exposure with a relevant audience, potentially driving new viewers to your channel.

Share Your YouTube Videos on Other Channels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give your new YouTube videos an initial boost after launch by sharing them via your other channels.
