In this video I'm going to show you how three
short videos got me my 4000 hours of watch time.
Click on in studio and YouTube Studio and you can see here
that I have 921 subscribers so I'm nearly there.
But now you also need to get 4000 hours of
watch time, which means that if you've got videos
that are set to public (so the ones that can be found from
anywhere on YouTube) then when you add up all of the time of
all of the people who who watch those videos that's got to add
up to 4000 hours, which seems like an impossible task but
mine is as you can see that 9000 hours. Okay,
I still don't have my 1000 subscribers but I got the 9000 hours.
So, let me show you what that looks like here
and what you're going to find is that it was just three videos got me
to my 4000 hours. So I clicked on Analytics here in
YouTube Studio and then I go to the watch time here and
I go to the watch time and that's for the last 28 days. So, we
need the watch time, let's call it for the last year,
and you can see that I have got over the last
365 days 9100 hours of watch time. Now that's not
over a year that's actually only since March till August so it's not that
long. So what/how/where did that all come from?
And so what I'm going to do is sort these videos by watch time so if
I click on here,
once again last 365 days,
okay? And so I click on the watch time here.
And what you'll be really surprised about here
is I get to see the videos in that period by their watch time
let me click on here and then see more okay because this is going to give us
more detail that we want right now what i get to see is which videos
have given me the most subscribers or or the watch time so let me sort by
subscribers first and what you get to see so just click on
this
and what you get to see here is that even though i've got over a hundred
videos most of them haven't got me any
subscribers or very few the big ones have been these ones here
200 subscribers 136 subscribers okay and so now
so so what i'm showing you here is that it's not necessarily a lot of videos and
it's not even necessarily long videos that are going to get you the watch time
this is really interesting let me click on the watch time here
and you get to see okay so we're sorting by watch time now
and we get to see which videos have got the highest watch on 1700 hours
on a video that goes for 90 seconds okay one one minute 36 seconds 96
seconds i've got 1 700 hours of watch time
1 500 on the second one which is just how to change your profile picture on
zoom now that minute that video goes for
about four minutes which is pretty long so that's three thousand two hundred
hours just from two videos and then the third
video is another nearly uh one thousand so
that's gonna get me my four thousand hours just three videos
so what did i do that was so special in those videos
actually the videos have got poor lighting
not fancy editing but they do solve a problem okay and so that's what i did
was i solved i think an emotional problem which is
people wanted to know how do i turn off my camera on zoom
and so it was so you just want if you're heading into a call
a zoom call you're going to be maybe a school student
and maybe you are you're afraid that your teacher or your professor is going
to see your face how do i turn off my camera okay you
want a quick answer i want to change my profile picture well
maybe that's not so urgent i spent a bit more time on that one but
it's still only a four minute video so i got my watch time with
just two three videos actually and can't hear yourself on zoom so all of these
are all related to how i look on zoom or how i hear
how i sound on zoom okay and testing my microphone
so you can see here just looking at the watch time here on these videos you can
see this blue one that's first one here see the blue box there
so that's the blue one that has uh got me
so much watch time you see and then and then this one here the profile pic
okay and then you can see so that one goes for four minutes
this one i can't remember how long it goes for but it's
probably around four or five minutes it's not it's not very long it's not a
15 minute video and then testing your microphone and
zoom so the interesting thing too here is that even the most popular
videos in terms of watch time there's really only three videos that
have given me so many different subscribers
and some of the other ones my point here is that
you don't necessarily need to have a lot of videos
you don't necessarily need to have long videos
sometimes the short ones that touch an emotional problem and that
really really solve it very quickly are going to be
just what you need so that's it for me you can see that my uh
subscriber rates are not very high most people who watch my videos don't
subscribe but you're allowed to if you want to so
