How to Grow Youtube Channel Without Having Hundreds of Videos

[Jasmine]

One of the common piece of advice you will head from online gurus is you need to make hundreds of videos to grow your youtube channel because more videos means more subscribers and more views.

What if I tell you that is not correct. Actually, instead of more videos, you need to have longer session on your existing videos that you will allow you to earn more watch time. Having longer watch time means youtube will know people are watching your content, therefore, it will make your videos discover-able by placing on home page, and suggested video list.

What does it mean to have longer session on your videos?

Well, it means people are watching your videos for longer time. Let’s say you have a 5 minutes videos, if people watch your entire video, you will have 5 minute session, however, if they watched for only 20 seconds, your viewing session is just 20 seconds. Watching videos for longer times also mean more ad impression, and thus more money

When they say quality matters over quantity, they are not saying it without any valid reasons. Having a few good videos on your channel is far better than having a lot of bad videos. When you are focusing on quantity, you will also produce low-quality content (because you will be more focused on producing more videos than researching the video content or producing high-quality videos). If you are producing good quality videos (in terms of content and technical quality), and still not getting views, you will have to see what mistakes you are doing. In most cases, people are doing silly mistakes that are stopping their channel to explode. You also need to check your youtube analytics data to understand traffic on your videos, once you know your traffic, you can focus more on working on your mistakes and strengthening your strengths. Focus on giving the best experience to your viewers.

That is a very nice explanation. For you to make people to hang on your videos and watch everything means that you must try as much as possible to create valuable videos. One thing that makes so many people not to have longer sessions on their video is because they actually do not create what interests people and therefore there is no way they can be able to hang on and finish watching it.

The first thing you need to do if you really want to make some good amount of money and make people to watch your videos for a very long time is to choose a niche that a lot of people are very much interested on. After choosing a niche you need to start by creating something very valuable that would actually make people to always hang on on your videos and watch everything because it is adding value to them.

If you have a lot of videos and it does not have any kind of value then there is no need for people to watch it and finish everything. Consistency is also very important because in this online money making journey, we actually learn on daily basis.
