One Simple Trick For Getting MORE Views on YouTube!
Want to know the simplest way to dramatically increase views on your YouTube? It might seem unusual, but it’s insanely effective! We call it Reverse Content Creation. But first, let’s talk about why certain videos rack up views. Impressions Click-Through Rate The most significant factor determining how many views a video usually gets is the Impressions click-through rate.

The higher this number, the more views your videos will usually receive. You boost this number by crafting irresistible thumbnails and titles around topics your audience finds interesting. We believe this is the most important metric for getting more views on YouTube. You’ve probably heard about the importance of retention, average view duration, and smashing the like button. However, those metrics come into play after someone clicks on your video. People click on… Continue reading One Simple Trick For Getting MORE Views on YouTube!
