The 27 YouTube Commandments To Grow Your Channel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Create niche-specific channel, to increase viewer retention, conversion, and engagement<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Keyword research on YouTube can make all the difference. Later in this article, we will learn how you can do it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. There is no perfect topic. Just keep posting quality, relevant and updated content. You will see results gradually.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Thumbnail is so, so important; invest your time to create the best thumbnails. A good thumbnail takes at least 20 min.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Make the thumbnail with vivid color and great color contrast (to grab attention)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Make a thumbnail that sparks curiosity of the viewers (and intrigue them to click)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Finish it off with an intriguing, unique title, to convert the impression to a click<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. A great title must spark emotion, intrigue, and possibly include the word “you” (personal involvement)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Use relevant tags only. You want YouTube to suggest the video to the right audience, to have better performance <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Rename your raw file before upload using your video’s target keywords (not a game changer, but it takes just a few seconds and may improve SEO ranking a bit)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. Always keep the intro short, since 75% of users leave the video in the first 30 seconds. Be different, get their attention<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. The first 20 seconds are by far the MOST crucial on YouTube. Make something very engaging yet short to get the audience’s attention.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  13. Use end cards. You may not have an outro, but it\u2019s really necessary to have cards at the end of your video.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  14. Always put info cards in the most “dead” moments of the video, to eventually rescue visitors leaving and keep them on your channel<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  15. Humans respond emotionally well to surprises, changes of rhythm and “rollercoasters”. Do that in your video, to -keep the visitor engaged and addicted to your next surprise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  16. Examples of rollercoaster and changes of rhythm are, as per the audio: using many different background songs, removing background music to add it again, create audio sync<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  17. Examples of rollercoaster and changes of rhythm are, as per the video: change clips\/camera angles, change clips\/camera zoom and crop, use effects, text and lower thirds<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  18. Don’t be afraid to ask for likes, comments, shares or subs. Engagement and percentage conversion influence your ranking<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  19. Asking for likes or subs by providing a reason, without asking too often, or after giving value (i.e. entertainment, at the end of a video) is the most effective approach<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  20. A great video has a CTR of 7% or more and watch time of 40% at least, if 8-15 minutes long. If you are not there yet, that’s your goal<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  21. A shorter yet more intense video, is better than a longer yet less intense video. Viewer retention and response is more important than how many ads you can put.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  22. As a fact, though, longer videos tend to get more views from the algorithm. Without compromising quality, aim to better length<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  23. Upload regularly. Just do it. If your channel is inactive, your ranking and engagement will both tank<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  24. If you don’t have money, make quality content and make money<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  25. When you make enough money, scale your channel (or ideas) by outsourcing or creating a team<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  26. Put visitors into loop views, by producing similar content in your channel<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  27. Use analytics to your advantage, to understand what works, what does not. Reading analytics is the difference between who makes videos as a hobby, or as a real business that will succeed<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
