Your first four thousand hours of watched them the pool that sounds very far away from you and very
difficult to attain.
Yes, it is actually pretty difficult to identify for the first four thousand hours which time will
be very difficult to attain.
And you want this to have your channel monetized and usually attaining 4000 thousand hours of watch
time is more difficult than getting thousands subscribers.
Usually for some people it is on.
It's difficult.
It's it's the opposite way.
For example, one of my channels, I gained 4000 hours, which some way earlier than I get from the
1000 subscribers.
I think I get 4000 to watch them on 300 subscribers.
So it is it was very weird.
So it is extremely difficult thing to do, but not as much as you think.
The same way with the subscribers, it grows exponentially in speed, so it's difficult to gain first
hours.
And when you get for your first four thousand hours of watched them, you'll get a second one, probably
third time, maybe in one quarter of time.
So just know that it's it's speeding up the same way the subscribers and speeding up.
So what to do.
How to make people how to get 4000 hours or something as quick as possible realistically.
So first things that you need to focus on is you need to focus on average, watch them.
You need to make people to watch three minutes on average.
And this is a minimum.
I don't mean that you need to focus on three minutes and you're doing four or five minutes.
I mean, the minimum three minutes overnight on average, because this is overall YouTube average.
People are watching videos for three minutes per video on average.
If you are having less than that, that means that you need to work more on your editing because the
average watch time is pure decided by editing, whatever you do, whatever talk, it's purely depending
on the video itself.
Remember what time is purely dependent on the video, not on the thumbnail.
I don't.
It's purely dependent on a video.
You want three minutes on average, minimum.
If you can get higher, it's better.
The bigger channels, like 200000 subscribers, they are getting four or five, sometimes even six minutes
of which time you want these numbers as well.
But more attainable goal for you will be the three minutes of on average.
It is not as difficult as you might think if you have a good topic, which will be pretty easy and most
likely you will gain this amount of time somewhere between, I don't know, one hundred and 100000 subscribers
don't even try to aim this with one hundred subscribers and less, because you will most likely have
either much, however much time or much lower average or whatever, just because you don't have enough
data, you don't have enough use.
We don't you don't have enough people watching this.
And your analytics data is a very, very, very not.
So, you know, you need to understand this very well.
So you most likely aim for this number somewhere closer to a thousand subscribers.
Not earlier than that.
This means that you need your lifetime average.
What's that next?
On average, you'll need 80000 years in order to get four thousand hours.
What's that?
So this is three minutes on average of what time?
So if you go and just crunch the numbers, it's somewhere, something like this, 80000 to 100000 views,
something like that.
You need two or three minutes somewhere average.
And what's the highest average time you have?
The last views you need to lower than your average time.
You have more views you need because it's four thousand hours of watched time on average is not rather
an average exactly 240000 minutes of watch time.
And you have three minutes of them on average.
Then you're going to get 80000 minutes.
You need only twenty minutes.
So just compared to the subscriber numbers, on average, people have the conversion rate of one to
two percent.
And with the conversion rate of one, two to two percent, you need fifty 200000 views, you know,
to get subscribers.
Like in my case, in one of my channels, I had way lower than one percent.
In one of my channels, I had way higher than two percent or three percent.
So we just now know that it's completely different.
But you need eighty thousand.
We just know that if you're aiming for the number of you know that you need to do with the news next,
longer videos are better for that goal.
This is extremely important because they have higher watch time, but less use on average because people
are clicking the longer we use less often because people usually use YouTube in a burst, like sitting
down and just doing nothing at all.
Maybe let's check out some videos and he will check the video and people have a look, usually maybe
half an hour of the time.
They don't want to spend half an hour for one video.
They prefer to spend it like on five, six different videos with a much lower watch them.
But there are people who are watching the videos in its entirety, and those people are increasing average
with time to much higher numbers than you.
I think so, just focus on the longer videos and because they they will help you to reach the goals,
like how longer do you might you might ask because longer can be like one hour to hour, 10 hours or
15 minutes or whatever you want.
I would suggest you to aim somewhere between 10 to 20 minutes, like 15 minutes or 15 to 20 minutes
will be probably the best case scenario because these videos are not way too long and not short enough.
So these videos are much higher.
I would watch them and people with people will watch on half of the 20 minute video.
It's a ten minute.
So I just know that the longer videos are better for that call.
If I'm assuming if you are good at editing it, if you are doing good videos, this is like a necessity.
If you're not doing the good videos, if you feel like if your videos views are falling off at 20 minutes
on average, that means that it doesn't matter how long the video is you'll make.
It's better to have the shorter videos then because you're just wasting your time.
So if you're making more or less good videos, focus on the longer ones.
Let's talk about the playlists because players often dismissed.
We're talk about playlists in one of the previous lectures, but playlists are big contributors to to
watch them.
How and why police have a lower amount of use usually, but they have much higher amount of time, because
sometimes when people are coming to your videos and you have shorter videos, they sometimes check the
playlists because you might have a different types, different topics for your own channel.
You will, of course, have different topics, even though you're the same within the news.
You might have the subdivision, something like that.
And people want to know, like only one certain type of videos and they go to play to see whether you
have the playlist for this type of videos or not.
And if you have, they will go and binge watch your videos.
And for that reason, they have much higher amount of time because usually the video of they're on top,
the good videos that are being watched fully and people or you need to playlists are watching the videos
in their fullest.
They'll day the videos are getting much lower views.
But people, if you if they're interested in videos, they have a tendency to watch the first videos
to the fullest to the end.
So if you have like twenty minutes videos, they look like two, twenty three twenty minute videos.
There is a chance that the first three videos will get full views like one hour of watching from one
individual, only three views.
So this is extremely important and you need to have a playlist.
It is not a lot of work for you.
It's a very minimal work and it will not contribute a lot like a lot, to be fair, but it will still
be a contributor.
Like even if you will contribute 10 to 20 percent to the what time it's ten to twenty minutes of will
ten or 20 percent of what time done just by doing like maybe fifteen minutes of work.
So yeah, you need to do this.
And last but not least is use analytics.
Analytics is the best indicator whether your watch time is doing good or not and where you're getting
your watch time.
And because you can actually check out your video follow are your videos are doing what people are watching,
what people are not watching.
You are going to get a lot of analytical data from the editing that you're doing from the topics that
you're doing.
You can cross-check and correlate different things to a bunch of different other things and understand
exactly what works for you, what's what, what not.
Analytics is giving you so much data that it's amazing.
It's just an amazing thing to have.
So just use the analytics as much as possible for your videos and to help you increase your watch them
all.
This will bit for this one.
Let's go to the next one.
