1
00:00:05,090 --> 00:00:13,610
Your first four thousand hours of watched them the pool that sounds very far away from you and very

2
00:00:13,610 --> 00:00:14,870
difficult to attain.

3
00:00:14,990 --> 00:00:19,010
Yes, it is actually pretty difficult to identify for the first four thousand hours which time will

4
00:00:19,010 --> 00:00:21,590
be very difficult to attain.

5
00:00:21,590 --> 00:00:28,670
And you want this to have your channel monetized and usually attaining 4000 thousand hours of watch

6
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:33,500
time is more difficult than getting thousands subscribers.

7
00:00:33,770 --> 00:00:36,250
Usually for some people it is on.

8
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:37,800
It's difficult.

9
00:00:37,940 --> 00:00:40,010
It's it's the opposite way.

10
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:45,770
For example, one of my channels, I gained 4000 hours, which some way earlier than I get from the

11
00:00:45,780 --> 00:00:46,610
1000 subscribers.

12
00:00:46,790 --> 00:00:50,020
I think I get 4000 to watch them on 300 subscribers.

13
00:00:50,030 --> 00:00:52,730
So it is it was very weird.

14
00:00:52,790 --> 00:00:57,620
So it is extremely difficult thing to do, but not as much as you think.

15
00:00:57,770 --> 00:01:04,640
The same way with the subscribers, it grows exponentially in speed, so it's difficult to gain first

16
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:05,090
hours.

17
00:01:05,090 --> 00:01:09,790
And when you get for your first four thousand hours of watched them, you'll get a second one, probably

18
00:01:10,010 --> 00:01:12,610
third time, maybe in one quarter of time.

19
00:01:12,620 --> 00:01:17,940
So just know that it's it's speeding up the same way the subscribers and speeding up.

20
00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:19,970
So what to do.

21
00:01:19,970 --> 00:01:25,590
How to make people how to get 4000 hours or something as quick as possible realistically.

22
00:01:26,060 --> 00:01:30,370
So first things that you need to focus on is you need to focus on average, watch them.

23
00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:33,490
You need to make people to watch three minutes on average.

24
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,490
And this is a minimum.

25
00:01:35,510 --> 00:01:39,640
I don't mean that you need to focus on three minutes and you're doing four or five minutes.

26
00:01:39,650 --> 00:01:44,030
I mean, the minimum three minutes overnight on average, because this is overall YouTube average.

27
00:01:44,030 --> 00:01:48,590
People are watching videos for three minutes per video on average.

28
00:01:49,130 --> 00:01:56,300
If you are having less than that, that means that you need to work more on your editing because the

29
00:01:56,300 --> 00:02:01,550
average watch time is pure decided by editing, whatever you do, whatever talk, it's purely depending

30
00:02:01,550 --> 00:02:02,680
on the video itself.

31
00:02:02,690 --> 00:02:06,950
Remember what time is purely dependent on the video, not on the thumbnail.

32
00:02:06,980 --> 00:02:07,270
I don't.

33
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:07,520
I don't.

34
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:08,840
It's purely dependent on a video.

35
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,530
You want three minutes on average, minimum.

36
00:02:12,830 --> 00:02:14,900
If you can get higher, it's better.

37
00:02:14,930 --> 00:02:21,140
The bigger channels, like 200000 subscribers, they are getting four or five, sometimes even six minutes

38
00:02:21,140 --> 00:02:23,510
of which time you want these numbers as well.

39
00:02:23,510 --> 00:02:27,560
But more attainable goal for you will be the three minutes of on average.

40
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:33,590
It is not as difficult as you might think if you have a good topic, which will be pretty easy and most

41
00:02:33,590 --> 00:02:39,320
likely you will gain this amount of time somewhere between, I don't know, one hundred and 100000 subscribers

42
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:45,380
don't even try to aim this with one hundred subscribers and less, because you will most likely have

43
00:02:45,380 --> 00:02:50,780
either much, however much time or much lower average or whatever, just because you don't have enough

44
00:02:50,780 --> 00:02:52,100
data, you don't have enough use.

45
00:02:52,100 --> 00:02:54,470
We don't you don't have enough people watching this.

46
00:02:54,470 --> 00:02:58,190
And your analytics data is a very, very, very not.

47
00:02:58,580 --> 00:03:02,840
So, you know, you need to understand this very well.

48
00:03:02,990 --> 00:03:08,570
So you most likely aim for this number somewhere closer to a thousand subscribers.

49
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:09,830
Not earlier than that.

50
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,470
This means that you need your lifetime average.

51
00:03:12,470 --> 00:03:13,910
What's that next?

52
00:03:14,420 --> 00:03:19,160
On average, you'll need 80000 years in order to get four thousand hours.

53
00:03:19,170 --> 00:03:19,580
What's that?

54
00:03:20,090 --> 00:03:23,360
So this is three minutes on average of what time?

55
00:03:23,370 --> 00:03:29,150
So if you go and just crunch the numbers, it's somewhere, something like this, 80000 to 100000 views,

56
00:03:29,390 --> 00:03:30,170
something like that.

57
00:03:30,350 --> 00:03:32,600
You need two or three minutes somewhere average.

58
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,790
And what's the highest average time you have?

59
00:03:34,790 --> 00:03:37,520
The last views you need to lower than your average time.

60
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:43,120
You have more views you need because it's four thousand hours of watched time on average is not rather

61
00:03:43,130 --> 00:03:46,160
an average exactly 240000 minutes of watch time.

62
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,740
And you have three minutes of them on average.

63
00:03:48,740 --> 00:03:50,330
Then you're going to get 80000 minutes.

64
00:03:50,330 --> 00:03:51,920
You need only twenty minutes.

65
00:03:52,130 --> 00:03:57,980
So just compared to the subscriber numbers, on average, people have the conversion rate of one to

66
00:03:57,980 --> 00:03:58,550
two percent.

67
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,580
And with the conversion rate of one, two to two percent, you need fifty 200000 views, you know,

68
00:04:03,590 --> 00:04:04,790
to get subscribers.

69
00:04:05,180 --> 00:04:09,560
Like in my case, in one of my channels, I had way lower than one percent.

70
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,460
In one of my channels, I had way higher than two percent or three percent.

71
00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:16,310
So we just now know that it's completely different.

72
00:04:16,310 --> 00:04:18,060
But you need eighty thousand.

73
00:04:18,060 --> 00:04:23,330
We just know that if you're aiming for the number of you know that you need to do with the news next,

74
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,840
longer videos are better for that goal.

75
00:04:27,290 --> 00:04:32,000
This is extremely important because they have higher watch time, but less use on average because people

76
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:38,720
are clicking the longer we use less often because people usually use YouTube in a burst, like sitting

77
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,270
down and just doing nothing at all.

78
00:04:41,270 --> 00:04:46,430
Maybe let's check out some videos and he will check the video and people have a look, usually maybe

79
00:04:46,430 --> 00:04:47,390
half an hour of the time.

80
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:50,690
They don't want to spend half an hour for one video.

81
00:04:50,690 --> 00:04:56,150
They prefer to spend it like on five, six different videos with a much lower watch them.

82
00:04:56,150 --> 00:05:01,760
But there are people who are watching the videos in its entirety, and those people are increasing average

83
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,490
with time to much higher numbers than you.

84
00:05:04,650 --> 00:05:10,970
I think so, just focus on the longer videos and because they they will help you to reach the goals,

85
00:05:11,180 --> 00:05:17,150
like how longer do you might you might ask because longer can be like one hour to hour, 10 hours or

86
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,610
15 minutes or whatever you want.

87
00:05:18,950 --> 00:05:24,920
I would suggest you to aim somewhere between 10 to 20 minutes, like 15 minutes or 15 to 20 minutes

88
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:30,400
will be probably the best case scenario because these videos are not way too long and not short enough.

89
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,550
So these videos are much higher.

90
00:05:32,690 --> 00:05:35,950
I would watch them and people with people will watch on half of the 20 minute video.

91
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:36,590
It's a ten minute.

92
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,440
So I just know that the longer videos are better for that call.

93
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:48,890
If I'm assuming if you are good at editing it, if you are doing good videos, this is like a necessity.

94
00:05:48,890 --> 00:05:54,230
If you're not doing the good videos, if you feel like if your videos views are falling off at 20 minutes

95
00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:58,190
on average, that means that it doesn't matter how long the video is you'll make.

96
00:05:58,610 --> 00:06:02,940
It's better to have the shorter videos then because you're just wasting your time.

97
00:06:03,470 --> 00:06:07,340
So if you're making more or less good videos, focus on the longer ones.

98
00:06:07,490 --> 00:06:11,260
Let's talk about the playlists because players often dismissed.

99
00:06:11,290 --> 00:06:15,770
We're talk about playlists in one of the previous lectures, but playlists are big contributors to to

100
00:06:15,770 --> 00:06:16,250
watch them.

101
00:06:16,770 --> 00:06:23,240
How and why police have a lower amount of use usually, but they have much higher amount of time, because

102
00:06:23,540 --> 00:06:28,730
sometimes when people are coming to your videos and you have shorter videos, they sometimes check the

103
00:06:28,730 --> 00:06:34,550
playlists because you might have a different types, different topics for your own channel.

104
00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:38,590
You will, of course, have different topics, even though you're the same within the news.

105
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,370
You might have the subdivision, something like that.

106
00:06:40,730 --> 00:06:45,740
And people want to know, like only one certain type of videos and they go to play to see whether you

107
00:06:45,740 --> 00:06:47,540
have the playlist for this type of videos or not.

108
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,140
And if you have, they will go and binge watch your videos.

109
00:06:51,500 --> 00:06:57,560
And for that reason, they have much higher amount of time because usually the video of they're on top,

110
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:04,120
the good videos that are being watched fully and people or you need to playlists are watching the videos

111
00:07:04,130 --> 00:07:05,450
in their fullest.

112
00:07:05,750 --> 00:07:08,450
They'll day the videos are getting much lower views.

113
00:07:08,450 --> 00:07:13,580
But people, if you if they're interested in videos, they have a tendency to watch the first videos

114
00:07:13,940 --> 00:07:15,350
to the fullest to the end.

115
00:07:15,770 --> 00:07:20,360
So if you have like twenty minutes videos, they look like two, twenty three twenty minute videos.

116
00:07:20,570 --> 00:07:24,920
There is a chance that the first three videos will get full views like one hour of watching from one

117
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,420
individual, only three views.

118
00:07:26,750 --> 00:07:30,620
So this is extremely important and you need to have a playlist.

119
00:07:31,490 --> 00:07:33,710
It is not a lot of work for you.

120
00:07:33,710 --> 00:07:42,920
It's a very minimal work and it will not contribute a lot like a lot, to be fair, but it will still

121
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:43,700
be a contributor.

122
00:07:43,700 --> 00:07:51,780
Like even if you will contribute 10 to 20 percent to the what time it's ten to twenty minutes of will

123
00:07:52,250 --> 00:07:57,800
ten or 20 percent of what time done just by doing like maybe fifteen minutes of work.

124
00:07:57,810 --> 00:07:59,660
So yeah, you need to do this.

125
00:07:59,930 --> 00:08:02,180
And last but not least is use analytics.

126
00:08:02,450 --> 00:08:07,970
Analytics is the best indicator whether your watch time is doing good or not and where you're getting

127
00:08:07,970 --> 00:08:08,570
your watch time.

128
00:08:09,110 --> 00:08:14,990
And because you can actually check out your video follow are your videos are doing what people are watching,

129
00:08:14,990 --> 00:08:16,190
what people are not watching.

130
00:08:16,460 --> 00:08:20,930
You are going to get a lot of analytical data from the editing that you're doing from the topics that

131
00:08:20,930 --> 00:08:21,380
you're doing.

132
00:08:21,620 --> 00:08:27,830
You can cross-check and correlate different things to a bunch of different other things and understand

133
00:08:27,830 --> 00:08:30,920
exactly what works for you, what's what, what not.

134
00:08:31,490 --> 00:08:36,320
Analytics is giving you so much data that it's amazing.

135
00:08:36,330 --> 00:08:39,160
It's just an amazing thing to have.

136
00:08:39,260 --> 00:08:46,850
So just use the analytics as much as possible for your videos and to help you increase your watch them

137
00:08:47,180 --> 00:08:47,360
all.

138
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,290
This will bit for this one.

139
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:49,160
Let's go to the next one.
