what is up everyone welcome back to my
channel in today's video I want to teach
you my step-by-step tips and tricks on
how exactly I organize the flow of my
videos and my scripting in order for me
to increase my watch time increase my
subscriber rates and overall increase my
engagement rates so if you like the way
that I organize my videos and you want
to learn how to do it too then keep on
watching
now before I spill all of the beans on
my tips and tricks something that you
really need to know about succeeding on
YouTube is that watch time is king and
what I mean by this is that if you want
to succeed on YouTube you need to make
sure that your watch time is as high as
possible because the higher the watch
time shows to YouTube that people are
actually really engaged while watching
your video at the end of the day all
YouTube cares about is pushing videos
that are engaging that's why you not
only have to create quality content but
the way that you script or the way that
you flow your videos it's equally as
important that's why in today's video
each tip and trick that I'm going to
share with you is really to help you
boost that watch time so that your
audience will watch until the end that
said let's just dive right into tip
number one and that tip is to keep your
introductions short now if you are
familiar with my channel you'll notice
that a lot of my recent videos I dive
right into the first point as soon as
possible I don't spend a lot of time
introducing myself asking people to
subscribe to me asking people to put on
their notification bells I just dive
right into the point and the reason why
I do this is because when I actually
look at my YouTube analytics and I look
at my audience retention report which is
basically a tool on YouTube that exists
to show you where exactly people are
dropping off I noticed that a lot of
people were dropping off because my
intros back then were way too long
that's why since then I have corrected
my mistake and now I don't spend too
much time on my intros and I give people
exactly what they want because at the
end of the day you need to realize that
people don't care if you ask them to
subscribe to you they don't care if you
ask them to hit the notification bell
what they're there for is to get the
information so if you are spending the
first few minutes of your video talking
about yourself talking about your life
begging someone to subscribe to you
they're probably not going to at the end
of the day you really need to realize
that people will subscribe to you if
they like your content so that's why you
need to dive into that content right
away the second tip that I have for you
when you are scripting your videos or
organizing the flow of your videos is to
tumble your audience right from the
get-go exactly what they're going to
learn what
to realize is that nobody likes to waste
time so if you are honest right from the
beginning and tell someone in this video
today you're going to learn blank they
have a higher chance of sticking around
because they know exactly what they are
opting into and what I mean by this is
that most people here on YouTube do not
have a lot of patience meaning that
they're not going to spend ten minutes
watching your video if they have no idea
what they're in for
not only this on YouTube it's a very
competitive space there are tons of
content creators that are doing the
exact same topic as you so in order for
you to stand out you need to be able to
really clearly communicate what exactly
your audience is going to get out of
watching your video within the at least
the first minute of having your video on
the third tip that I have for you is to
make your videos step-by-step and easy
to follow now this piece of advice is
specifically really helpful for those of
you who post educational content just
like me and what you'll notice in pretty
much all of my videos and my videos are
organized in a way where it's step by
step I walk you through tip one tip to
tip three and on top of that I put text
to physically show you where we're at in
the video by structuring your videos
this way and also visually showing
people where they're at it's going to
decrease the chances of your audience
feeling lost or frustrated and it will
also help them follow along a lot easier
when you're going through your content
now the reason why I have implemented
this tip and tactic into my own videos
is because I myself as a viewer when I'm
watching another youtubers video and
there's no clear structure or path I
often lose my patience and I click out
now maybe it's just a personal
preference so I'd love to know leave a
comment below and let me know what you
think or if that's the same for you
because for me when I ask my audience or
when I listen to feedback most people in
my community really enjoy having a
structured video so they know that
they're not wasting time with me let me
know now the fourth tip that I have is a
personal rule of thumb that I follow and
that is I always make sure that my
videos aren't over 15 minutes long and
the reason why I set that as a rule of
thumb for my channel at least is that I
notice where my videos are longer than
that
my watch time tends to dramatically go
down and I'm pretty sure that's because
most people don't have the patience to
watch a 15 plus minute video unless it's
like a Shane Dawson series or something
that being said to add on to that if you
want to make sure that your videos don't
exceed 15 minutes just try your best not
to cram too much information for your
audience
you don't really want to over a longer
audience - too much now in the beginning
on even to this day what I do is I
actually physically script out my videos
now if you want to learn more about that
make sure you click this video right
here but for now what you need to know
is that when you at least have an
outline or you have a bullet point list
or you have a full script of what you're
going to say you're going to be able to
control the timing of your video a
little bit better versus just
freestyling when you're on camera
now what I notice is that people tend to
have a love/hate relationship with
scripting but personally for me what
works is at least having a bullet point
list or an outline of what exactly I'm
going to say in each video because if I
don't and I freestyle on camera with no
outline at all I have a tendency to
overshare ramble and all these things
that will end up making my video be a
lot longer than it needs to be on top of
that when you're editing your videos
really look at each piece of content
that you're sharing and ask yourself is
this really relevant does my audience
actually benefit from this because a lot
of times as content creators we end up
putting unnecessary information in
videos so just make sure that you're
trying to have your videos to be as
concise as possible without you sharing
unnecessary information moving on to the
fifth tip that I have for you and that
is is to make sure your audience doesn't
know that your video is ending now what
I mentioned earlier in this video is
that when I was looking at my youtube
analytics specifically my audience
retention report where it shows you when
people are dropping off not only where
people are dropping off in the beginning
of my video but they were also dropping
off at the end and when I really looked
at when they were dropping off what I
realized is that people would drop off
when I would say things like that's it
guys or this is my last tip or that's
the end of the video when you save words
like that people will automatically
assume that the video really is over and
click out that's why if you still have
information to share even if you've
given your last piece of advice make
sure you're not using words that are
signaling to your audience that the
video is pretty much over what I've been
experimenting on my channel is that I
just keep going which leads me to my
next tip and that is to keep your air
screens in your video while you're still
talking something that I used to have on
my channel was a branded end screen
template that would play automatically
at the end but when I was looking at my
analytics everyone would have dropped
off before that point which would
prevent people from actually watching
the other videos that I was recommend
that's why what you'll notice in my most
recent videos I'm always pointing to the
end screens while they're running I'm
still talking while the end screens are
rolling in order to show my audience
that the video is not over yet but it
pretty much is so make sure you check
out these two videos right over here
this has significantly helped me in
terms of gaining audience retention now
if you really want to see this tip live
in action all you have to do is stick
around to the end of this video but
anyways the next tip that I have for you
that has really helped me that I've been
recently implementing is teasing your
next video what you'll notice recently
that I've been doing on my channel is
that when the video is ending I'm
letting my audience know exactly what
the next video will be that has actually
really helped me increase my views for
that next video now obviously to
successfully implement this tip you need
to be really organized in terms of your
content calendar for me I have already
planned out all the videos that I'm
going to be posting for the month that's
why it makes it really easy for me to
tell my audience exactly what they're
going to be expecting in the next video
personally when I start saying that near
the end especially while the end screens
are still rolling and when the audience
doesn't really know that the video is
actually ending it has really
significantly helped me increase the
views of my future videos
now speaking of future videos if you

really organize the flow of your YouTube
videos then make sure you hit the
notification bell because in the next
