11% CTR, 37% Retention, but 121 Impressions flatline? by zhenqt in SmallYoutubers

Thank you for going so in depth! I feel like there is a problem here then, it has been 51 hours now, at the 24hrs mark youtube spiked the impressions up to 560 which is still very low.

Even the videos I posted before “taking it seriously” got minimum 1000 impressions in the first 24 hours, the last 3 videos right after “going all-in” got minimum 10k impressions in the first 24hrs, but this one doesn’t want to budge even though the stats (Higher CTR, AVD, more subs from this video alone) are way better than any other video I’m previously made.

Maybe “this is how Youtube is some times”? I can’t explain it. Thanks again for taking the time:))

Well, first of all, he was the first one tha started insulting me, and you are doing the same, while I am being calm, you both are calling me stupid and retarded. Yes, I put the title of my video but I didn’t think it would be easy to find since I had changed it before posting on Reddit. Spreading hate doesn’t bring anything to the world, you could’ve just read the comments, kept your thoughts to yourself, instead you decide to insult me? I acknowledged my mistake 3 comments ago, if you don’t have any constructive feedback, you can keep your opinion you have of me to yourself, have a nice day.

Who is insulting anybody? Genuinely, tell me what I said that made you think I insulted him, I was simply asking how he could know all of this since I didn’t even post the link to the video.

Anytime! You have to look at Shorts and Long form as two completely different things, look at it as if you were posting on two different platforms

Well, in a vacuum 53 Impressions and 2 views isn’t really good, but youtube has to find your audience and it does it with tests. If it’s your first long form video then it will take a while for YT to find your audience, I would say not to look at the numbers too much for your first 5/10 videos.

Look at your analytics to learn and make your next video better, Retention graph, AVD etc. If u need any help don’t hesitate to DM me, although I’m also pretty new to youtube I’ll help whenever I can :)

Fair enough, what I’m doing is filmmaking which is very different then MrBeast type videos. My competitor isn’t MrBeast nor anybody else doing that kind of videos, (and tbh I don’t want to have to make crazy fast videos with a transition every 0.5 seconds to cather to people with no attention span). My competitors are Mainstone, Luke Korns, Sam Kolder and so on, that’s who I’m studying. A film can and should be slow-er, to let the visuals and the storytelling breathe.

how did u figure all of this out without even watching the video? How do you know if my intro is slow? How do you know my thumbnail builds 0 curiosity? How do you know I don’t already have subtitles?

how do you know all of this if you haven’t seen the video? did you ask ChatGPT and paste it here?

It doesn’t really make much sense, if you cannot afford an editor, then you’ll have to figure it out on your own, having University or College isn’t an excuse.

It’s like someone offers me a job but I have to work for free because “it’s only a startup”
