When it comes to youtube its very important that how long your audience is
watching your video, also known as Audience retention.
So High Retention youtube views means users are actually watching your video for
a while.
This creates an importance for youtubers to produce an engaging unique content
which actually keeps their watchers on the video for a while. If people are watching your
video like for 90%+ watch time, great, if its like 10-20%, you definately need to work
on creating some good engaging video.
Retentin on a video is just an mirror which allows you to understand what people want
and have you given this in the video.
There are many ways to keep your audience engaged. Here are few ways to get high retention:
- Is your Content worthy: I know you love what you just created, but this does not means its the best. First you need to analyze that whether your video actually has the answers of what your topic is about. Is it unique? Is this properly explained? Is the quality of video good? and so on.
- Briefly and Necessary : You have lot to explain and you know you can speak or show for many hours, but what important is, does the user have so much time to watch whole? No, you should analyze your content before start that which part is most important and be brief and share only what is absolutely necessary.
- Keep rolling the screen: You should not just fix the camera on a static view and make a video of an hour, instead keep your screen rolling with changing the screen/locations/people etc.
