my free youtube channel evaluation checklist hello my name is herman drost
from drostdesigns.com if you want to grow your audience on youtube and
generate traffic leads and subscribers on autopilot hit the subscribe button or
hit the bell notification icon here are seven ways to improve the viewing rate
of your YouTube videos number one study peak viewing times go to youtube
analytics click on real time to find out when people are most watching your newly
uploaded videos also check which country most of your viewers are coming from for
example I've noticed that many of my viewers come from India which is nine
hours and thirty minutes ahead of Maryland time in the USA therefore I can
test if I get more views to my videos if I upload at a time that is more
appropriate for my indian viewers number three publish three hours ahead of
peak time this gives YouTube time to notify your subscribers so they receive
an email notification in their inbox so if I publish at 7 a.m. Eastern Standard
Time the email notification will already appear in the inbox at 4 a.m. just in
time for early risers number 3 keep a consistent publishing schedule treat
your publishing schedule like a TV series where you check in every week at
a specific time for instance I upload new videos every Monday and Thursday
mornings this helps viewers develop a habit of watching new videos that you
upload to your channel every week. What if you have a new channel? If you have a
new channel the time you upload won't make a big difference because you don't
have an audience built yet just focus on publishing new videos as
often as possible until you develop a regular upload schedule consider
displaying your publishing schedule on your channel banner so it's obvious to
non subscribers when you upload new videos number 4 promote videos after
upload people go online at all different times of the day so don't get hung up on
the best times to publish instead promote your videos throughout the week
by sending out tweets Facebook posts Instagram posts etc this will help your
videos get exposed to new audiences outside YouTube click the
card icon to learn how to promote your videos number 5 create evergreen content
that gets ranked if your videos get ranked on YouTube or Google people will
be able to view them anytime day or night depending on the keywords they
entered into the search engines this means that someone will always be
watching your videos irrespective of the times that they have been uploaded therefore
make sure you target the right keywords in your title description and tags
number 6 link to related videos YouTube rewards videos that keeps people
watching if someone watches several videos in succession YouTube will
promote the first video where they began the viewing session therefore before
your newly uploaded video goes public make sure your link to related video
content using cards and end screens so it increases watch time number 7 useTubeBuddy
to determine the best time to publish if you've got the tubebuddy
