In this video I'm going to show you how to display up-to-the-minute stats on your YouTube
channel. No, I don't mean the 48 hours. I mean up-to-the-minute stats for the whole
of the current month. I'll show you how to do it in YouTube Studio right now. So, as I'm recording
this video it is January 6th here in Sydney, but I can only display statistics up until January 4.
Ouch! Well, hang on! It's not January 6 in YouTube land! YouTube land uses
Pacific Time, so it's actually January the 5th. And, to be accurate, it's 5 14 p.m on January 5th.
So, where are my stats for today, for January 5th? Well, yeah, I can look at this realtime stats here
and I can keep track of all of that. That's great. So, that's currently 12:14 my time which is 5:14
Pacific Time, but then I'd have to go and add all of these up. Pretty messy. And this is for the
last 60 minutes; this is for the last 48 hours but all pretty messy. There's a better way to do it.
Well, surely, can I just go into here and do a custom? Remember,
today is January 6th and I want to show January, up to the January 5th, but I can't do that.
What if I type it in here? January 5. Let me try that. Nope. Can't do it. So, here's how to do it.
There we are. I have got the whole of January. January 1 through January
31. I've got the statistics. Of course, this time hasn't even occurred yet but right now,
January 5 statistics are right there. How did I do that? Look! Custom: January 1-31. How did I do
that? I actually did some magic here by pumping in the Unix epoch time. Don't worry about it!
If you don't know what that is, that is the time from that is the number of seconds from first of
January 1970. So, this is the first January 2021 through to midnight on the 31st January 2021. So,
basically just typed all of this in here. Now, if you want to do this on your channel, here's how to
do it. You would need to do—just for January—you would need to replace that with your url
and then copy that in. Obviously, you need access to YouTube Studio. You put in your channel url and
put in all the rest of that string and run that, and you will be able to see the whole of January
statistics. You can look at your revenue for January. Or you can look at your reach
and how many impressions. What your impressions are, what the click-through rate is, right up to
the minute, okay? Up to today, which is wonderful. So, if you want to do this, check out the link
below and I will include an email. I'll send you an email. What you need to do is just pop in that
channel ID. So, how do you get your channel ID? You can simply cut and paste from here or you can
go into Customization and View channel. And if you've got a custom URL, that will work. Again,
that will work as well. So, if you want to display up-to-date statistics for January
then pop your email address in below and I'll send you a link giving you all of these instructions.
