There's a few things you can do to keep viewers watching more of your videos and increase their session watch time. We'll discuss four of them in this video so you get more views, more watch time, and your entire channel starts performing better in search and related videos on YouTube overall.

A very simple thing is to actually reference other videos in your current video. Saying something like "I went into more detail in this other video, " will make people want to watch that video to see what they've missed out on. Just make sure to throw up a card/annotation/link in the description to that video so it's easier for people to find.

Thank you so much for this vid. The info was very helpful. I did have a question about seo (if youve already answered it then you can just refer me to that vid) but im a female gamer and whenever i put out a video im not on the top 5 pages when that particular game is searched. What can I do?

Hi, Tim! Do skippable video ads pay the same if they are on a playlist?

[AllAroundAudrey]

Thank you so Much for the tips, I have been wondering the same question as well! Never thought about the playlist url before but now I'm going to do it!

[JacobslifeinVegas]

I never even thought about the sharing videos in playlist mode tip. I'm not too familiar with cards yet, but I'm glad to hear they work on both desktop and mobile. Thank you for these tips Tim!

[TrueMexico]

Great tips - thanks! All creators should be watching your channel religiously. Always great tips. All good tips, particularly link to video in Playlist mode.

Great advice. I find that if I share playlist on Facebook, sometimes, it does not work and gives Page not found. Have you ever seen this happen before?

[BrickTsar]

I feel so dumb now. I knew how to suggest the video in playlist mode but haven't been doing it. Got to work on those branded thumbnails, Good tips!

[VlogEpicness]

Sharing on playlist mode is a great tip. Thanks Tim.

[BarryEuphorik]

I didn't even think about the sharing with playlist option. Thanks for another informative vid Tim.

[geoffcarter]

My channel is growing daily thanks to your info. Keep up the great work.

Oh Tim that sharing a video within a playlist is a great tip! Thank you!

[webstudio]

Thanks, Tim! First time I'm seeing the new YouTube cards in action, how cool are they! Gonna add those to my vids as well. : )

My youtube parter manager suggested mosted of this. This is a really good video because not everyone has a youtube point of contact & this guy shares great advice for youtubers .The book offer is a good move. I really want to DL it & read it when i get a chance. Good video!

[SecondsWithMCOfficial]

Great! I didn't know the cap is 5 on Cards. Great to know. Playlist mode rocks!!! Definitely use them. I like your thumbnails, Tim. I know which videos are yours with a quick glance! Have a great rest of the week.

[BabsRudlin]

Playlist mode for sharing is an amazing suggestion. I had no clue I could do this. Thank you so much. The rest of the suggestions are already in place love having a new option to drive new views. Still building my email list 😉

[chadwildclay]

#6 - Similar to branding your thumbnails similarly, add similar tags to each video to help your own videos show up in suggested on the right hand side of your videos.

[drinkresponsibly]

We're planning on launching our first videos in about a month's time and have been going through a LOT of your videos to help us get started here on YouTube, . Thanks for the advice, Tim!
