STOP! Thumbnails & Video Quality Don’t Grow YouTube Channels

Here's why having a high CTR and AVD isn't enough to grow your YouTube channel

Credit to @KevinChee for inspiring this video idea. With all due respect, I disagree with most of the things he said in his video, so I figured I'd create my own version.

This blows my mind. I knew about the first core but I never realized the 2nd core audiance before the "wide reach". Thank you so much for this!

[CornCrazed]

here's what you didn't account for... The higher view video had a higher view duration in its first 500 views and the CT was higher. After it was served to a broader audience, it didn't convert as well and numbers dropped.

You say it doesn't depend on thumbnail, but then at 4:40 you say if only 2 out of 100 people click then it wont be promoted. It all goes back to thumbnail once again because thumbnail and title is what makes people click in the first place.

I have been on YouTube for 18 years and my growth has been. Well doesn't reflect the years I have been on YouTube lol. Your channel is the first channel I have enjoyed watching. You help describe the ins and outs of how to grow your channel. You present it in a clear concise way that doesn't talk down to your audience or is distracting. I thank you. Now I just have to find the time to grind out the data. I honestly have always been so busy with real life or just figured I could not keep up with the bigger channels that it was not a priority. I am finally starting to change that way of thinking. "Old dog new tricks" and all that. Looks like I have number crunching to do. Only have close to 3, 000 videos to do it for lol.

Awesome video! I just started a YouTube page. Only 13 subscribers, but I’m going to keep pushing!

[ConcreteJungleCity]

I keep trying to figure out what I need to do more in order to work the algos, but this really helps out. I hope that my channel can blow up one day and enjoy the music I make. Congrats on 200k Marcus!

Sometimes the number of views is lower despite the high ctr, because the niche is smaller, it is a subject that is not of general interest.

I like when Youtubers say it’s not about luck, but it’s about dedication in the grind and what’s funny is I do think you have to put in hard work to increase your chances of getting lucky if that makes any sense. I posted the exact same video and two different YouTube channels and the only difference was the YouTube channel that it was posted to the title the tags the time and the hashtags everything else was identical. One video got seven views while the other video got 2500.

I’ve been using your tips to grow my channel and so far so good! I’ve tested multiple Thumbnails and tittles. The more you spark curiosity the better you do ❤ Good luck to everyone trying to make it on YouTube ❤❤😊

[RockAim]

Thanks man! That was very helpful. I'm gonna follow and tell you the results.

[DmpTrk]

Your channel helped me grow so much last year I can’t wait to see what happens this year

[JewelJ]

When i was just scrolling through your homepage, trying to find tips for my channel.I found this video and i decided that i dont care about thumbnail quality but i just watched it to see if it would help, and it actually got me more views and impressions!

[singaporeghostclub]

I had an old YouTube channel that had 1.5k subs from 2009 to 2011. Then i shut it down. Now, im back at it again. This helps.

[lanarhassano]

Frankly, I’m more interested in making content I’m proud of than trying to employ social science to drive traffic

[BrainofQuinn]

I'm NEW here but this was by far the most clearest and simplest way at describe click through rate, thank you for this! Great video!

[DarkBeastDiaries]

I appreciate channels like yours sharing this knowledge with us newbies. My brain stopped working but I'll be sure to rewatch a few times xD. But really thank you for the hard work put into this informative video :)

[thinnminttASMR]

Wow, perfect timing as I’m becoming more consistent with my channel. A great explanation for things I was struggling to fully understand so thank you!

[thatjewyJesuschick]

9:47 Mind blowing information and so much richer than what we get from the all fluff, “scream at you until you do the thing” gurus who never REALLY explain the jargon. Thank you for the transparency. You got my sub!

[kevstwistedhumor]

We get so much information about this stuff. It is so difficult to know what to believe. What I have found anyway, is when I post what I think would be fun to upload, it tends to get more views.

[JobOthoniel]

Creators expend so much money on video for a few views, thats insane, my best advice if you are beginner, keep it simple.
