Do your YouTube videos earn enough watch time? It's not an easy question to answer, but it's one you should ask often.

. It represents the total amount of time people spend watching your videos, so it's in your best interest to increase that number. The more watch time you have, the easier it is to monetize your channel and get more video views.

 to qualify for the YouTube Partner Program (along with 1,000 subscribers). Once you're in, you can make money through video advertisements and hopefully earn a full-time income.

Plus, videos with high watch time – among other things – send a positive signal to YouTube's algorithm. So as you improve that metric, YouTube might 

But if you're struggling to get YouTube watch hours, don't worry. Here's how to increase the amount of time people spend watching your videos.

1. Start with an Attractive Title and Thumbnail

Imagine what it's like to browse the YouTube homepage. There are dozens of videos to look at, with bold, colorful thumbnails. If you want to earn any watch time to begin with, you need a graphic that stands out and encourages viewers to click.

YouTube Thumbnail Guide: 9 Ways to Boost Click-Through Rate

Take a look at the vidIQ thumbnail below. It's paired with one of our popular videos, "How To Check Who Has Subscribed to Your YouTube Channel (New Method)."

Viewers responded so well to this thumbnail that the video has:

In other words, 15% of people who saw the thumbnail decided to click on the video – which is pretty good! And once viewers clicked, we gave them a fantastic video that has collected 

Thumbnails pop out at viewers first, but titles play a role too. Make sure yours are better than the standard YouTube title, which has relevant keywords and a clear topic. 

 have all of that, plus a mysterious aura that whispers, "Click me."

Your video needs more than a basic introduction if you want to increase your watch hours. It's best to create a 

 that reels viewers in and keeps them watching past the 30-second mark, where most people click away.

To see what we mean, go to your YouTube analytics and look at the 

Finally, click on any video and scroll down to 

Take a look at the audience retention graph for the video you selected. More than likely, it has a line trending downward after 30 seconds. That line is shaped like a hockey stick, and the first "bend" is where people stopped watching your video.

The right video hook should do four things to combat this:

Do all of the above in less than 30 seconds

Need an example? The video below checks all four boxes. The hook is only 20 seconds long, and Rob Wilson (our expert YouTuber) is having fun. He's teasing valuable parts of the video, being playful, and making us chuckle at a few memes.

Thanks to our hook, 71% of viewers were still watching at the 30-second mark. That's better than our typical performance.

Over time, little victories like these increase your watch hours on YouTube.

Have you ever watched a YouTube video with long, never-ending scenes? How did it make you feel inside?

If words like "bored" or "disinterested" come to mind, you can guarantee your viewers feel the same way. No one wants to see the same thing for several minutes, especially if nothing new pops onto the screen. That's the fastest way to kill your watch time as people exit the video.

The solution? Use the almighty jump cut. It's a video editing technique that breaks longer scenes into two or more clips to 

, arguably the best YouTuber ever, does it. He's the jump-cut king, so there's never a dull moment in his videos.

As mentioned before, hundreds of people leave videos at the 30-second mark. They either get bored, look for better videos, or leave to do non-YouTube-related things. It's normal and to be expected.

But if you want to squeeze in some extra watch time, place 

 is anything that changes a person's behavior or thinking process for a short while. On YouTube, the best pattern interrupters stop viewers from thinking, "I should leave this video."

If your content has any of these elements, you're already using pattern interrupters:

These elements break up the monotony of previous scenes, so viewers stay engaged.

If you need an example, check out the video below from lifestyle creator 

. She uses a mix of text, jump cuts, images, and B-roll to keep people watching.

5. Don't Announce the End of a Video – Just Leave

This might be an unpopular opinion, but most videos don't need outros. If the viewer already got what they came for – entertainment, instruction, etc. – there's no incentive to keep watching beyond that.

So instead of doing an outro, just end the video without warning. Otherwise, people will look for the X button when you say things like, "That's about it" and "Those are all of my tips." 

And when they leave, they'll take extra watch time with them.

Are you wondering how to get watch time on YouTube? Minute by minute, here’s how to hold viewers’ attention on any video.

5 Ways to Increase YouTube Watch Time on Any Video

Are viewers watching your YouTube videos to completion? Is your audience retention so high that 70% of people are still watching after the first 30 seconds?

If not, you have an opportunity to improve the "stickiness" of your videos. This is a special kind of video magic that stops people from clicking away. Creating sticky videos is about identifying what’s working (or not) to keep viewers engaged.

This simple act will help you flourish on YouTube. The algorithm loves to

The first step is understanding how audience retention works. Keep reading to discover this metric on your own channel, plus six simple ways to keep people watching.

 shows how many viewers are watching a video throughout the beginning, middle, end, or altogether. The "altogether" rate is shown as a percentage of total views. So for example, if you post a 12-minute video, and people watch for eight minutes on average, your audience retention rate is 66%.

In the YouTube Studio, you’ll see different moments within a video that affect your audience retention, such as:

 where viewers re-watched or skipped certain parts

 where viewers skipped a section or left the video completely

These moments highlight where viewers are losing or gaining interest during a video.

Take a look at the image below from YouTube’s

 is a key retention metric. It’s an estimate of how many minutes viewers watched a video, on average. Increasing this number, as well as other retention metrics, can boost your views on YouTube.

“YouTube’s search and discovery system loves videos that people have found satisfying, and a great way it determines that is audience retention,” creator liaison Matt Koval said in a Creator Insider 

How to See Your Channel’s Audience Retention

Want to see if your videos are truly engaging? Follow the steps below to find out.

 (click your profile image and select YouTube Studio).

Select the video you want to analyze. Choose from the list of videos shown or use the search bar to find a specific video.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page. You’ll see a graph showing the video’s average view duration and average percentage viewed.

This data is from a video of ours, titled “

YouTube’s Discovery Algorithm...Exposed

.” The audience retention graph shows that:

On average, viewers watched the video for 

, a new YouTube metric. It compares videos of similar length on your channel and tells you if the video you're analyzing is performing better or worse than previous content.

Audience retention varies widely. It can change depending on the length of your video, the topic, and the audience. For example, a gaming or education channel’s retention could be low because of 

Young children are intrigued by gaming videos, but they have short attention spans. An adult who watches a video about investing may skip certain parts to find one piece of information. There are many reasons people don’t finish a video, so take your niche, as well as audience behavior, into consideration.

What Is a Good Audience Retention Rate on YouTube?

First, know that there isn’t a golden percentage for audience retention. Viewers have different intentions for watching a video, which leads to shorter or longer Watch Time. That’s not a bad thing at all. It leaves you free to analyze your data and make adjustments without comparing yourself to others.

But if you need a benchmark, our YouTuber-in-residence Rob Wilson has a number in mind.

“If your video is longer than five minutes, and audience retention is above 50%, you’re probably doing a good job,” Wilson says. “If your video is longer than five minutes, and you’re getting audience retention above 70% in the first 30 seconds, then you’ve got your hook on the video and you’re doing a good job.”

Want his full opinion on audience retention (and another important metric)? Watch the video below to hear Wilson explain in more detail:

How to Increase Audience Retention on YouTube

With everything we’ve covered, here are some tips for increasing audience retention:

During the first 30 seconds, hundreds of people will click away from the video. But you can reduce that number by catching viewers’ attention early. Just think: What would intrigue them so much that clicking away is not an option?

 Some people think chapters encourage viewers to leave a video quickly, but that’s not always the case. For example, would you rather someone click away in the first 30 seconds or watch a three-minute chapter that answers their question? You get more Watch Time from the second option, especially if you’re making valuable content.

Give viewers a sneak peek of what’s coming.

 In your intro, tease the juiciest part of your video without giving away all the details.

Use pattern interrupters to keep viewers engaged. 

Create variety by adding graphics, music changes, lower-thirds, and different camera angles.

Make your videos as long (or as short) as they need to be.

If you can cover a topic in five minutes, end the video there. Lengthy segments that don’t add value will push viewers to click away, which hurts your audience retention. If the information will truly help and engage viewers, it’s OK to keep going.

Study your audience retention graphs in the YouTube Studio.

 Follow the directions in this post so you can check your audience retention for every video. As you investigate, pay attention to the percentage of viewers watching after the first 30 seconds. Is that number low? Maybe you need a better intro or a juicier sneak peek. Next, identify what’s happening in the rest of the video. Are there spikes where almost no viewers clicked away? Replay those portions and try to understand what made people stick around. Keep doing what’s working, and experiment with new pattern interrupters when your audience retention starts to dip.

Boosting your audience retention is smart, but there’s one step to conquer before that.

You need viewers to see your thumbnails and click them to start watching your content. Here are six solid tips to improve your click-through rate every single time.

Want to boost your YouTube audience retention? Here are six ways to improve that metric and keep viewers watching for longer.

How to Increase Audience Retention on Every YouTube Video

What’s your average view duration on YouTube? For every video you post, do people watch to the end or leave midway?

To us, a 50% duration is phenomenal. It’s hard to get viewers to go any further than that. Meeting or even crossing the 50% threshold means you’re doing something right on YouTube.

If you’re not there yet, don’t worry. We have two suggestions to increase your average view duration:

Post some YouTube Shorts on your channel.

Shorts, which are vertical videos of less than a minute, are capable of holding viewers’ attention. It’s easy to finish a video that’s only 20 or 30 seconds long.

4 Tips to Grow Your Channel With YouTube Shorts

That creates a huge opportunity for you. By posting quality Shorts, you can get close to a 100% view duration, on average. This helps you penetrate the YouTube algorithm, which suggests videos with a high Watch Time to viewers. And if you 

 – videos that have no discernable end or beginning – you can convince someone to watch twice, which doubles your Watch Time.

How to Get 4,000 Hours of Watch Time and Monetize Your Channel

 of 4.9 million subscribers. Viewers used to watch nearly 100% of his content. That percentage climbed to almost 200% when he started looping his 3D Minecraft Shorts. Without realizing it, viewers were watching each video twice.

The screenshot below shows Fellman's average view duration, which doubled from January to April.

Here’s how Fellman looped his Shorts to earn more Watch Time.

Fellman is used to getting several million views on a Short. He’s been doing that for months now, so the numbers have to change drastically for him to take notice.

One day, he posted a Short of a skeleton getting shot with a red arrow. It performed so much better than his previous videos, even though they had millions of views. So he decided to investigate.

“When it clicked in my head that I needed to start making loops, was when the arrowhead video went from one million to 20 million views in the course of a couple of days – which just never happens with any videos,” Fellman says. “It did 15 million views in 48 hours. Typically, my top-performing video in 48 hours, for a good week, tops off around three or four million.”

The looped arrowhead video is titled “Minecraft RTX 24% Arrowhead Loop.” Press play below to view the Short, which seems to have no beginning or end:

YouTube has a built-in loop function for Shorts. If the viewer doesn’t swipe to the next video, the same Short plays again. When the replay creates a perfect loop, someone can mistakenly watch a video twice – maybe three times – before realizing the video is over. That’s when the Watch Time soars above 100%.

Want to increase your Watch Time? Do these three things to make Shorts that seemingly play forever.

 Fellman’s looped Shorts are rarely longer than seven or eight seconds. The longer a video is, the harder it will be to replicate a scene without the viewer realizing what happened.

Add one still frame to the beginning and end of your Short. 

On YouTube, there’s a brief delay before the start of a video. So if you rewatch a video, one second will pass before it plays again. Fellman takes advantage of the delay by adding a still frame to the beginning and end of his Shorts. The frames are identical, so it’s difficult to know the video has looped after two plays.

If the music in your Short doesn’t loop perfectly, it ruins the effect. Viewers will instantly know they’re watching a loop.

Looping a Short to get more Watch Time feels like a grimy hack. But according to YouTube, that’s exactly what you should be doing as a creator. It’s one of the growth strategies YouTube suggested in a recent 

In the screenshot above, you’ll see some of the same tactics Fellman uses. YouTube encourages creators to make really short videos and add frames to the end if they want to create loops.

But maybe you’re just getting started with Shorts. If you aren’t in the looping phase just yet, 

 to increase views on short, vertical videos.

This simple hack for YouTube Shorts will help you double your Watch Time. Keep reading to harness the power of looped content.

How to Double Your YouTube Watch Time by Looping Shorts

Earning 4,000 hours of Watch Time is the dream for most creators, but it isn’t easy. Gaining 100 hours, sure. But thousands? That’ll test your determination to keep going on YouTube. Essentially, you have to post multiple videos and hope people watch them for long enough.

But once you have 4,000 hours, everything gets easier. You’ll be one step closer to applying to the YouTube Partner Program, which lets you monetize your channel with advertisements. Having those valuable hours allows you to focus on other things, too, like 

. That’s the second milestone required for the YPP.

YouTube Partner Program – How to Monetize Your Channel

When you’re collecting Watch Time hours, it’s easy to overlook certain parts of the process. The biggest, most understated thing, is that 

These 5 Videos Aren’t Eligible for YPP Watch Time

Before you start earning Watch Time, know which videos are in your best interest to create. There are five videos that make it hard – in most cases, impossible – to reach 4,000 hours.

Years ago, private and unlisted videos counted toward YPP Watch Time. 

 when YouTube decided that public videos, not partially viewable content, could accumulate watch hours.

prioritize public videos over private or unlisted ones.

 Unlisted videos can only be watched if certain people have the link. This privacy option benefits creators with specific content plans. They may want to send videos to friends and family or create a webinar for a limited audience.

If you’re trying to monetize your channel, unlisted and private videos aren’t very helpful. Make sure videos that need to be public are, in fact, set to public. That’ll help you reach 4,000 hours and apply to the YPP.

How to set private or unlisted videos to public on YouTube

Log in to YouTube on desktop. Click your profile icon and select 

You’ll see a list of all the videos on your channel. Find the videos you want to make public, then go to the 

 column. Click the eyeball symbol to reveal a menu of options: private, unlisted, members only, and public. Choose 

 from your monetizable total. For example, imagine your channel has 2,000 watch hours. If you delete a video that contributed 500 of those hours, you’ll be left with 1,500. Before you delete anything, check to see how many watch hours your content has earned.

Sometimes deleting a video is inevitable. Maybe you’ve grown as a person since it was first published and want to clean up your image. Or perhaps someone appeared in your video without prior consent, and they want you to take it down. Whatever the reason, make sure it’s worth deleting a video and losing precious watch hours.

Have you created video ads for YouTube? If you were hoping these would help you apply to the YPP, unfortunately, they won’t. Watch hours from advertising campaigns don’t count toward YouTube monetization. Even if you’ve earned 10,000 hours, none of it will go toward the 4,000 hours you need.

This seems fair because ads can get millions of views. If YouTube counts them for YPP acceptance, that’ll create a shortcut to monetization.

Short, vertical videos and how they relate to the YPP is a complicated subject. We know that 

; YouTube made that clear a few months ago. The platform also announced that Watch Time from Shorts doesn’t contribute to a creator’s 4,000-hour goal. But will this change in the future? Is there a monetization program just for Shorts in the works?

Only time will tell. For now, know that Shorts won’t help you monetize your channel – not quickly, at least.

There’s a small caveat to this statement, though. If a Short is viewed on the Shorts shelf, a display area for brief, vertical videos, it won’t earn YPP watch hours. But if the same video is viewed on a regular watch page with YouTube ads and a comment section, you can earn eligible Watch Time.

So while Shorts are mostly viewed on the Shorts shelf, they 

 get played in monetizable areas. If you need all the watch hours you can get, take advantage of this loophole. Those seconds, however small, add up.

Live streams are a great way to increase your Watch Time. These videos are usually lengthy, and if people stick around until the end, you can add several hours to your analytics.

According to YouTube, live streams that aren’t converted to video-on-demand content won’t earn YPP watch hours. The information around this is pretty vague, so we'd suggest making sure your live streams are public when they've ended. Don't archive a live stream by setting it to unlisted or private. 

Just to be sure, we asked YouTube if this advice made sense for creators. 

We didn't get a straightforward answer, but creators chimed in with their personal experience. A few of them said they earn Watch Time both during and after a live stream, which includes video-on-demand viewing.

Whether these hours were recorded for YPP Watch Time is another story. That's why, as soon as possible, we'd recommend checking to see if your live stream is public after it ends. If it's unlisted or private, switch it to public.

How to Get 4,000 Hours of YouTube Watch Time

 That means in addition to regular videos, posting lengthy live streams and experimenting with Shorts. The latter isn’t going to bring you quick success. The Watch Time you earn, if you earn any at all, will depend on where people watch the video. Shorts should complement your regular videos and live streams because all the Watch Time accumulates.

be intentional with the videos you upload.

 It’s easier to earn watch hours when you post videos that are relevant all year. Anything about making more money, product reviews, and video games with lasting popularity are good examples. People continue to search for these evergreen topics on YouTube.

 Instead of posting 30 videos in 30 days, aim to create videos that are entertaining, informative, and completely cover a topic. That could be 15 videos that answer every question about a topic, complete with video chapters and detailed instructions. Provide as much value as you can to make people watch longer.

Create a diverse set of content (regular videos, live streams, Shorts).

Post evergreen content that’s always relevant.

Give your video so much value that people can’t click away.

YouTube Monetization: Which Videos Count Toward 4,000 Hours of Watch Time?

En este post (y en el vídeo anterior), vamos a guiarte sobre lo que se necesita para conseguir 4000 horas de tiempo de visualización en YouTube.

Todos somos adultos aquí, así que no voy a insultar tu inteligencia y preguntarte por qué quieres tener 4000 horas de tiempo de visualización. Es obvio, es la única manera de poder monetizar tu contenido en la plataforma. 4000 horas de tiempo de visualización nunca fue un objetivo para ningún creador hasta que YouTube lo introdujo como una regla para aplicar para el 

. Ahora que YouTube ha establecido ese punto de referencia único, averigüemos de qué se trata el tiempo de visualización.

¿Qué significan realmente 4000 horas de tiempo de visualización en YouTube?

Para que las 4000 horas de tiempo de visualización cuenten, tus vídeos tienen que ser públicos. Eso significa que no se puede hacer una transmisión en vivo, y luego configurarla para que no aparezca en la lista. Tampoco puedes hacer vídeos y luego seis meses después, borrarlos o convertirlos en privados. Tienen que permanecer como públicos para que cuenten.

Además, tienes que alcanzar esas 4000 horas en 12 meses consecutivos. Así que, a partir de la fecha de hoy, retrocediendo 365 días. No es necesario que los vídeos hayan sido publicados en los últimos 12 meses, pero sí que hayan sido vistos en tu canal en las últimas 52 semanas.

Pero hemos cubierto el tema de las 4000 horas casi hasta el final 

, así que por favor, tómate tu tiempo para verlo si quieres más detalles.

Cómo llevar la cuenta de las 4000 horas de tiempo de visualización en YouTube

Si quieres llevar un registro de las horas de tu tiempo de visualización, YouTube Studio tiene una página dedicada en el panel de navegación de la izquierda llamada "Monetización". Esto te mostrará el progreso del suscriptor y del tiempo de visualización.

Por otro lado, si quieres controlar tu tiempo de visualización, tu cuenta de suscripción y otras estadísticas del canal, en cualquier lugar de YouTube, 

 y obtendrás esta increíble barra de estadísticas en tiempo real. No hay necesidad de que te preocupes por el precio tampoco, este va por nuestra cuenta, completamente gratis.

¿Por qué 4000 horas de tiempo de visualización en YouTube es una meta importante para el creador?

Con todo eso dicho, adoptemos la mentalidad. Esto es algo de lo que hablo frecuentemente con los creadores que tienen este tipo de objetivos en mente. Si empiezas un canal de YouTube con la única intención de conseguir 

 y 1000 suscriptores, y luego monetizar tu contenido, entonces temo decirte que muchos nunca lo lograrán.

En primer lugar, piensas demasiado en ti mismo, en vez de en tu audiencia. En segundo lugar, es un objetivo demasiado grande para lograrlo al empezar en YouTube.

__4000 horas de tiempo de visualización es mucho. Son 240.000 minutos o, para decirlo de otra manera, es una sola persona viendo tu contenido continuamente durante 166,6 días. __

Si publicas tu primer vídeo en YouTube, y obtienes solo una hora de tiempo de visualización del mismo, durante la primera semana, estaría bastante satisfecho con eso. No voy a mentir - 4000 horas de tiempo de visualización es difícil por una razón.

YouTube quiere la mayor cantidad de datos posible de tu contenido para poder confiarte sus socios publicitarios. Recuerda, no es YouTube quien te paga directamente, son esos anunciantes. YouTube es básicamente un intermediario en este caso, y necesita asegurarse de que el contenido que difunde en su plataforma no genere controversia. Ha habido una gran cantidad de este tipo de cosas en la última década.

__Y aquí es donde hemos terminado, 1000 suscriptores, 4000 horas de tiempo de visualización. __

Bien, algunas personas pueden estar en desacuerdo con esto pero creo que YouTube no te debe nada. Te permiten emitir tu contenido a una audiencia global de forma gratuita. Cuando, con el tiempo, seas capaz de demostrar tu valor a tu público y a YouTube, entonces sí, empezaremos a ganar algo de dinero juntos. Pero no veas la monetización como un derecho, sino como un privilegio. Trabaja por ella, gánatela, respétala.

Por qué el contenido perenne es la clave para lograr el éxito del tiempo de visualización

Echa un vistazo a estas estadísticas. Son sumas de las vistas en cuanto al tiempo de visualización en tiempo real de algunos de nuestros vídeos de mayor rendimiento en el canal vidIQ de YouTube. ¿Notas algo en particular? Echa un vistazo a la fecha de publicación:

Casi todos estos vídeos se publicaron hace más de seis meses, y sin embargo hoy en día todavía nos aportan miles de vistas diarias. Estos vídeos funcionan para el canal días, semanas, meses, incluso años después de que los publique.

Probablemente has oído hablar de este tipo de vídeos antes. Son de contenido perenne, y hemos hecho un estudio de caso muy detallado sobre cómo implementamos esa estrategia en nuestro canal:

Ser descubierto en YouTube puede ser bastante difícil. Una de las formas de hacerlo es que tu contenido aparezca en los resultados de la búsqueda. Si puedes responder a las preguntas, proporcionar información valiosa sobre los temas que la gente busca, especialmente si esos temas son recientes, por ejemplo, la última actualización de software de un juego, nuevos productos de belleza, lo último en tecnología, entre otros, puedes establecerte en la búsqueda de esos temas.

Y dependiendo de la vida útil de ese tema, tus vídeos pueden durar más tiempo en términos de obtener vistas, y tiempo de visualización. Puede que no sea tan sexy como el contenido viral que te consigue muchas vistas en un espacio de tiempo muy corto. Pero si lo haces bien, puedes ver que tus vídeos generan vistas consistentes durante un largo período de tiempo.

Hemos visto esto suceder muchas veces en nuestro canal de YouTube. Y una vez que tengas 5 o 10 piezas de contenido perenne, pronto verás tu gráfico de vistas subir y a la derecha, y rápidamente empezarás a perseguir esas 4000 horas de tiempo de visualización.

Cómo las transmisiones en vivo pueden acelerar las horas de tiempo de visualización

Si eres un usuario o seguidor de vidIQ, sabrás que todos los martes, 

hacemos una auditoría de canales en vivo

 donde envías tu canal de YouTube, y te damos una crítica constructiva.

Cuando empezamos a hacer estas transmisiones en vivo hace dos años, teníamos entre 50 y 100 personas viéndolas. Ahora tenemos en promedio entre 600 y 700 personas. ¡Y cada vez que revisamos nuestros análisis de las transmisiones en vivo, vemos las bombas de los tiempos de visualización!

si 600 personas ven una transmisión en vivo de dos horas, son 1200 horas de tiempo de visualización

. No puedo prometerte ese tipo de cifras, y ni siquiera te recomendaría hacer transmisiones en vivo cuando inicies tu canal de YouTube, porque lo más probable es que no te acompañe ni una sola persona.

Cuando tienes 6, o incluso 9 meses en tu aventura en YouTube, y has acumulado una audiencia de unos pocos cientos de suscriptores, incluso si consigues que 10 o 20 personas se unan a ti para una transmisión en vivo durante una o dos horas, es un buen momento para el tiempo de visualización.

La gente que se une a tus transmisiones en vivo son tus súper fanáticos. Se preocupan por ti y tu progreso en la plataforma de YouTube. Pero toma tiempo cultivar esa audiencia.

Aquí en vidIQ, hemos estado transmitiendo en vivo durante dos años. Pero en los últimos meses, algo asombroso ha sucedido, y parece haber sucedido de manera orgánica. Una cultura meme ha surgido en torno a las transmisiones en vivo, y la hemos adoptado tanto que incentivamos a nuestros espectadores a divertirse con nosotros a cambio de auditorías de canales.

No tenemos ni idea de que iría en esta dirección, pero nos encanta este tipo de interacciones con la comunidad, y aparentemente a ti también. Así que cuando tengas tu audiencia en YouTube, haz que esa audiencia sea tu comunidad, parte de tu canal, y puedes hacerlo a través de transmisiones en vivo, lo que significa mucho tiempo de visualización para ti.

Por qué la consistencia es la clave para el crecimiento del tiempo de visualización en YouTube
