Keywords

💡Bingeable content

Bingeable content refers to videos or a series of videos designed to encourage viewers to watch multiple pieces in succession. In the context of the video, it's compared to platforms like Netflix, where users watch episode after episode. The idea is that content creators should create videos that naturally lead into each other, making it easy for viewers to watch more content from their channel.

💡YouTube recommendation algorithm

The YouTube recommendation algorithm is the system that determines which videos appear as suggestions for viewers. It is responsible for 70% of views on YouTube, according to the video. The algorithm suggests content based on what viewers have watched previously, and understanding how it works can help creators increase their visibility by making bingeable content that is more likely to appear in the 'up next' section.

💡Up next feature

The 'Up next' feature refers to the list of suggested videos that appears on the right-hand side of a YouTube watch page. This feature is critical for encouraging viewers to continue watching videos on the platform. The video emphasizes that content creators should aim to have their videos appear in the 'up next' section by creating related and bingeable content.

💡End screens

End screens are tools that YouTube content creators can use to direct viewers to other videos or playlists at the end of their current video. The video discusses how adding end screens with relevant videos can help guide viewers toward watching more content, thus boosting binge-watching sessions.

💡Data connection

A data connection on YouTube refers to the way YouTube tracks the viewing patterns of users to establish relationships between videos. If many viewers watch two specific videos in a row, YouTube may automatically suggest the second video to others who watch the first one. Creators can take advantage of this by strategically linking videos in descriptions and end screens.

💡Suggested content

Suggested content is the videos that YouTube recommends to viewers based on their watching habits. These appear in the 'Up next' section. The video explains that having content that is thematically connected helps increase the likelihood that your videos will be part of these suggestions, increasing views and engagement.

💡Series

A series in the YouTube context refers to a set of videos that are thematically connected, encouraging viewers to watch each video in sequence. The video encourages content creators to produce a series of videos tied together by a 'through line' to boost binge-watching. For example, a video about making a chocolate cake might be followed by one about making icing.

💡Watch history

Watch history is the record of all the videos a user has watched on YouTube. This data is crucial for the YouTube recommendation algorithm, as it helps determine what content to suggest to viewers. The video notes that having multiple views from the same user helps the algorithm recognize patterns, which can boost a channel’s visibility.

💡Target video

A target video is a specific video that a content creator wants to drive traffic to from other videos. The video advises creators to ensure every video they make links to another, ideally a 'target video,' so viewers are more likely to continue watching. This strategy increases the likelihood of binge-watching sessions.

💡Homepage recommendations

Homepage recommendations refer to the videos that YouTube displays on a user’s homepage based on their previous watch history and interests. The video suggests that when a viewer repeatedly watches multiple videos from the same channel, YouTube is more likely to recommend that channel’s content on their homepage.

if you want to grow fast on YouTube one

of the best ways to do it is to learn

how to get people to binge watch your

content that's super important and some

of the most successful channels do it

awesome today I'm going to teach you how

to do that and how to use some of the

YouTube tools that are available to you

to help grow your channel even faster on

the Boost by vid IQ so what is bingeable

content it is just like when you go to

Netflix or Prime video or whatever and

watch multiple videos in a row and you

can do it on YouTube as a matter of fact

most people do binge content on YouTube

and YouTube sets it up so that it's easy

for a viewer to do that but as a content

creator you need to make it easy for

them as well I'm going to teach you a

little bit about how to make bingeable

content and how to get that YouTube

algorithm working for you 70% of all

views on YouTube come through the

recommendation algorithm which includes

suggested content that's the content

that is quote up next on a YouTube watch

page those are the videos you see on the

right hand side when you're watching a

video that are different videos that

YouTube think you might like now things

have changed in this little column and I

want to go over the way it used to work

and the way it works now because

ultimately if you master this you're

going to get tons more views here you

can see a video from first we Feast one

of the most awesome YouTube channels

available and of course if you've ever

seen this channel before it's likely

you've watched multiple videos from them

and YouTube helps you do that by putting

it in the up next section putting other

people who they've done first we Feast

with in the right hand side bingeable

content is content that is connected

through some type of through line we

like to call it basically if you're

watching Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman

eat hot food you probably want to watch

Gordon Ramsey do the same thing or your

favorite celebrity so that's bingeable

you love the concept you love the topic

and you want to watch more of it and

this particular channel is great for it

there's another channel that does this

so well that every time I talk about

this feature I talk about this channel

this is company man this channel does

documentary style videos about different

brands BRS Brands you know and love and

whenever you watch one of these they're

absolutely excellent videos and it makes

you want to watch another and another

but it's more than just the excellent

storytelling and quality of video that

make this thing a winner it's the fact

that they thought it all the way through

maybe you're a gamer and you love to

watch this documentary about EA and why

they're so hated after you watched it

you loved it and you would hope that he

would do another one about video games

and now he did one about Activision and

why they're so hated so they connect

Direct

it's a bingeable session because you can

go from one to the other very easily now

you can do this by end screens Link in

the description or up next as you can

see here the next video suggested

through YouTube is that exact Electronic

Arts video from the Activision video the

reason this happened is because enough

people who watch this video watch that

other video next and because of that

YouTube made a data connection between

the two and automatically will suggest

this as the next video up now other

videos down this this list will be

things from other content creators and

other topics in order to keep a viewer

on the platform for as long as humanly

possible you see YouTube wants you to

watch a video and then watch another

video and then watch another video now

if those videos happen to be on your

channel YouTube has no problem

suggesting that to them but you'll

notice there's a lot from this channel

in the up next company man is dominating

this more so than a lot of other

channels because he has a bingeable

channel a channel where you can watch

Two Three or even four videos in a a row

that are topically related and they get

you excited to watch the next one that's

what you need to do but YouTube recently

implemented something that makes it even

easier once upon a time this was just

algorithmically generated but now

viewers can actually select from the

series or from company man directly this

is brand new and helps you make a

bingeable series surfaced to the viewer

much faster you see before that feature

launch you had to make super bingeable

content that was directly connected to

another video and Link them in the

description in a pin comment and end

screens now these are all still good

things to do because you do want YouTube

to understand that there is a data

connection between the video you're

making and the video they're watching

and a previous video you've made however

with this new option on YouTube YouTube

will now surface more of your content

directly it was never a guarantee that

your content would surface next after

one of your own videos this helps

alleviate that so how do you take

advantage of this something like this

let's say you're making a video about a

chocolate cake and you want them to

watch your icing video super easy

because if someone's going to make a

chocolate cake they probably want the

icing as well so at the end you can talk

about how you have an amazing icing

video that they can match with the

chocolate cake they just made on the

video you watched or if it's a gaming

video you can say something like well I

showed you how to beat this level

without dying at all but I'm going to

show you the best weapon to use in this

video right here so whenever creating

new content the one piece of advice I

can tell you is you always should have

what's called a Target video that's a

video you want to send people to from

the video you're making so that you get

a binge session that's right every video

you make should have a partner video

that you've already made and tell people

to go watch that video the more times

you do this the more times YouTube will

see the data connection between the two

videos and start suggesting those as a

pair and obviously more views are better

across a pair of videos because more

watch History helps your channel grow

and of course if someone want watches

more than one video on your channel

they're going to be suggested your

channel more often and YouTube will find

other viewers just like that one to

suggest your content to as well so

ultimately to dominate the up next

feature which is suggested content you

need to have bingeable content something

that someone can watch one video from

and desire to watch another one these

should be topically related because it's

easier for someone to go from one video

to the next so if you're thinking I

don't have any videos that are topically

related there's no better time to start

than right now create a series of videos

that are connected together by some

thread whether it be you need to watch

all three to be the best gamer in the

world or maybe you knit something and

you're creating the best shirt ever but

you need to watch all three videos my

suggestion has always been if you're

going to make a 25 minute video I would

rather have three videos of about 7 and

a half minutes than one video at 25

minutes because the more often someone

comes back to your channel watches a

different video the more likely you are

to be suggested and recommended on their

homepage so the power of binge watching

will elevate your channel to the next

level but if you want to know how to

dominate search I made a video about

that right here so make sure you check

that out and we'll see you next time
