The Friday Roundup – YouTube Intros, Editing Workflows and Cloning

YouTube user clicking away from bad content.

How To Make YouTube Video Intro Correctly

When a user on YouTube does a search for something there is a whole “process” that has led them to that point.

They have identified a problem or thought of something they want to know or know how to do.

Maybe they have decided there is some kind of “entertainment” they want… who knows!

So then they have navigated to YouTube, thought about a search term, done a search, checked some thumbnails and titles and finally clicked on a video.

You know what is way easier than that?

Clicking away from a video that they don’t want to watch for whatever reason!

And while we are on that subject of clicking away, that decision these days only takes seconds to occur.

If I want to know about training dogs I am not going to sit through two minutes or one minute or even 30 seconds of you telling me about yourself, your dog problems or anything other than the reason I clicked in the first place.

I just want to know about training dogs!

If you don’t let me know up front that I am watching the right video I’ll just go to the next video in the search results.

I will then go to the next and the next until I find a video that clearly shows me I am in the right place.


1000 Subscribers on YouTube No Longer Needed

A recent update announced by YouTube has changed the requirements for users to have access to the “Community” tab for their channels.

Previously that tab was only available once the channel hit 1000 subscribers.

This prerequisite had been lowered to 500 which makes a powerful growth tool available to channel owners much faster.
