You can use your existing video to push to your most recent videos
To do this head to my video page and bulk edit or either cards or the End screen
We will show you how to bulk edit cards, but it works the same for the End screen
Using the time information we got from the retention analyzer, place a card on a video at that time.
Then follow the end screen instruction then you can add that element to all of the videos.
This is a great way to get them to watch more of your content. (On the end screen you can just select best for the viewer which youtube suggests).
2) Retention Analyzer
Knowing when people stop watching your content is important to get more views.
Because if people leave before the end, they may not be getting suggested another video from you.
With the retention analyzer, we look at your 25 most popular videos and your 25 most recent videos to find the average view duration.
Then you can know at what point people are leaving, so you can add a card to try to engage them.
Or more importantly, make additional changes so those drops don’t happen in your future youtube videos.
If you do add a card you are likely to get more views because it helps encourages people to watch more of your content instead of clicking away and watching something else.
3) Playlists organizer
Playlists are important on youtube, and they help you make your videos easy to watch one video after the other!
