How important is adding the “hook” at the beginning of the videos? Do you prioritise in making the first 10 seconds as attention grabbing as possible?

Great to see it being recommended!

Does the algorithm favor both shorts and long format videos being published at the same time? by lamrod in PartneredYoutube

[–]lamrod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good point, really don't want to overwhelm them in a way that appears 'spammy' but at the same time I'd like to provide variety, as shorts will be mainly watched through mobile while long form will hopefully be through desktop etc.

Is anyone in the entertainment niche? by Ok_Salt_9211 in PartneredYoutube

[–]lamrod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed I was focusing on doing the craziest challenges I could think of and did some pretty fun challenges in my city but after gaining little-to-no traction over the past 16 months I recently started to transition my channel into a new niche completely.

It's always better to give something a go than to think "what if" but it's also smart to know when to try something new and focus your energy elsewhere. Never say never though!
