How DELETING YouTube videos could grow your channel

In Feb 2021 I removed my most viewed videos from YouTube as well as another 100. This is the story of how this combined with some other things, caused YouTube to suggested my content like crazy!

Note: I should have made it clearer that this also impacted getting suggested views down the side of other videos and recommended a lot more too, it wasn't just the homepage

I've spent a lot of time on YouTube and NO ONE is creating content as valuable as this with respect to youtube growth. You're smashing it Ed, thank you 🌿

[TemiDansoArt]

I’m one of the new subscribers that binged your content!

[BassFishingHQ]

Just gave you a standing ovation at my desk...by myself! I noticed when you started promoting one video at the end of your videos a while back, so I started doing it too and have also seen the results you mentioned! I really appreciate your content!

One of the best videos on youtube strategy and analytics that i've watched this year, probably in the last few years..

[YolandaCalvo]

I am one of those that binge your content, and also share the links of your videos 😂. Great job Ed, great teaching. Congrats. ♥️

One of the issues with using "search terms" or "searchable titles" is that people typically won't subscribe after getting the information they're looking for. By transforming a "search topic" into a title that makes them want to know what the video is about, you can get them to watch that video & if it's done well, they're more likely, as you said, to want more & potentially binge your content & subscribe. Great video as always, challenging the status quo with actual data & great information!

I appreciate how u dig into and analyze the numbers. You looked at the analytics available and came up with your very own hypothesis. Big congrats on taking the leap to test out your theories - it shows that you're much more dedicated and thoughtful than most creators out there

Been looking forward to this video, worth the wait 👍😀

This is honestly one of the most insightful videos I’ve seen.

I have one video on my channel that blew up, and I couldn’t figure out why until today when I looked that the “average views per viewer” metric and saw that it had the highest out of all my videos.

Thanks again for the amazing content!

Thanks a lot for this video, the change in strategy from “search” to “homepage” views is something I never considered. I always made “search” video thumbnails and titles. I realize now that 1 video I made in the past was “homepage” oriented and that one indeed also has a lot more clicks like that. Will be trying this strategy out - thanks again! 🙌🏼

So good! The other thing worth noting that is insanely successful about your channel is the COMMUNITY you've started amongst everyone watching. Everyone subbed genuinely LOVES you and your content and it makes us do things like binge your channel and comment and vote on polls etc. (I normally don't comment on a lot of channels but with yours, it almost feels like leaving a comment is the SMALLEST thing I can do as a sense of gratitude for all the value you just gave me! and everyone else in the comments are pretty cool too! Love it here.)

I swear Ed, you've gotta be my no. 1 favourite YT coach.

And yes, can confirm that videos that cause readers to ask questions do well. My highest CTR vids (12% to 15%) have very "oh my god, what could this possibly be?"-style titles.

Of course, I'm still yet to try this but, fingers crossed.

Great video Ed (as always) Things I'm going to change after this and see how it goes:
- Unlist any videos that are no longer within my targeted niche
- Move back down to one well picked end screen
- Try to identify videos that fit the best in the end screen specific to each video
- Analyze the results and tweak as needed
I'll let you know how it worked!

[robozeddBehindAPlayButton]

Its always a good vibe when you upload, I've been watching you regularly for a long time and your tips always make me improve as a YouTuber on here

[JthaEngineer]

I remember looking for an old video on the channel before realizing you unlisted it. But the growth you’ve had since then has been amazing to see from the outside. Thank you for sharing!

[MalayalamMunches]

Do you recommend doing this for shorts too? I do a lot of shorts and only 30% of them come from the home page, more than 50% comes from the Shorts Shelf where end screens would not be there but I could leave a link in the description.

[TravisGilbert]

I say it under most videos but wow I really appreciate this channel. Almost everyone else in this niches sounds scammy and repeats the same content. This guy actually shows the work great stuff

[WalkWithMeTim]

love the editing! must take you forever! I feel your pain

[ElderFoxDocumentaries]

So glad this video doesn't have too many views. You're literally giving away the secret recipe here!

Just kidding, but not about the secret sauce. Great video!
