I just dropped a new YouTube video, and I’m trying to figure out what’s holding it back.
Here’s where the video is currently at:
- Views: 194
- Impressions: 3.6K
- CTR: 4.6%
- Avg View Duration: 1:24
- Subs gained: +1
📊 My thoughts:
- CTR feels decent but not strong enough, which means title/thumbnail might not be hitting hard enough
- AVD is okay, but I know it can be better—maybe the hook isn’t strong enough or pacing drops
- Most traffic is coming from Browse (72%). YouTube is testing it, but it’s not breaking out
💡 What I need from you: If you have 2–3 minutes, watch the video and tell me:
- Would YOU click this thumbnail/title if you saw it on your feed?
- Where (if anywhere) did you lose interest?
- What would make this more compelling to watch all the way through?
- Be brutally honest—I'm trying to grow, not protect my feelings.
🎯 Goal: I want to push this video higher by improving:
- Click-through rate (CTR)
- Average view duration (AVD)
- Subscriber conversion
Appreciate anyone who takes the time—this is part of me getting better at the craft.
Let’s build 💪
