“Catching someone’s attention is easy, keeping their interest is hard.”
Great content is always king. A great thumbnail can bring people in, but without great content they won’t stick around. Awesome tips, Nick!

I've noticed a huge difference in viewer retention increase after shrinking my intro from 7 seconds to 3 seconds. Learned from your livestreams. Thanks for sharing Nick👊

Love all your videos even your new ones even though they are 99% like all your other great content in our tool box we use everyday we still watch to see if you add extra tips that we did not previously learn yet and also to recheck what we already did previously. Awesome content Tap The Shell!

I started using intros for a while, but I looked at my audience retention and there was always a big drop at the beginning. Thanks for the tip Nick.

Watching a TON of YouTube tip videos, mainly focusing on improving audience retention. Spending hundreds of hours into learning about the algorithm, and strategies. There’s a new game releasing around September time, called Apex Legends Mobile and this will be my time to shine on YouTube. 💪💪🤩🤩

I’m glad to have someone like nick who can help me with my channel

[missmauda]

This is good I actually realized that people watch how to/tutorial videos longer than they watch other normal videos
Thank you Nick for always coming through for small youtubers

I think the intro being short or nonexistent is key. I recently started implementing an intro, but it is only 2 seconds and serves as a segway. Great advice as always Nick!

[SleepyBrains]

Very interesting information, thanks!! 🙏🙏🙏

[Ninjakiller]

Love your content as always Nick, being binge-watching a lot of it lately both new and old as I want to really grow my youtube channel this year and provide that value to my viewers. Thank you for this video mate, my audience retention is bad but with these tips I am confident I will be able to make my content so much better.

All the best to all the other content creators out there and I look forward to more of your awesome content Nick 😀.
