where we are all about helping you grow your YouTube audience

so you can spread a message that reaches people

and changes their lives.

And I'm here at VidCon today

to give you three quick tips that'll help you grow your channel.

Tip #1 is to make sure you pay attention to your traffic sources.

I like seeing where people are coming from to find my videos

and I want to know, where's my most valuable viewer coming from?

And so if it's coming from suggested

I want to know which videos are suggesting traffic

sending people to my video

so I can get better ideas of maybe other types of content

that my audience might be interested in.

The second thing I pay attention to is real-time analytics

because I want to see if an older video on my channel starts to pop

and really starts to get momentum

I want to be able to quickly make a part two or a follow-up to that video

so that the new people who are finding my channel on that older video

have a next natural video that they want to watch

to further increase watch time and the viewing session on my channel

and really get them pulled in to what my content's all about.

The third thing to really pay attention to in my analytics

is the graph that goes from impressions to click-through rate to watch time.

And what that helps me understand is

if there's a decent amount of impressions and click-throughs

but the watch time's really low

then I think, "maybe my title and thumbnail are not setting an accurate representation

"and not pitching this to what my content's about."

So, maybe I can make a more accurate title and thumbnail

that sets a more accurate expectation

so when they click and watch, they actually stay and watch the full video.
