Nico! I’m a subscriber of your services almost a year! I am a musician and my content on youtube is mostly acoustic live looping covers.

I would like to see a little bit more information about my area, if possible! Great content and always a great help! Cheers Nico!
Good point Nuno! The music niche is quite unique. Interestingly, TH-cam supports music channels with a slew of different automatic playlists. Have a look at the “Linked Content” section in the Algorithm tab and there the “Top Recommending Channels” report. I bet you’ll see a many different playlists that bring your views which can give you an idea of which of your music videos are promoted by TH-cam with that special additional power of playlists! And you are asking about keyword research: Here we actually don’t have much of a difference to other niches. However, it is definitely not straight forward to come up with good search terms because the obvious ones like the artist and song name of the song you are covering is usually quite competitive. I discussed that with many other music channels already and the trick is to come at it from a different angle. Have you thought of approaching your research from a style of music, the particular guitar you play, mood of the music, purpose of the music (study, relax, party, ...), etc. angle? Maybe that helps to find less competitive search terms. Or did you ask because of another aspect of keyword research you wish to know more of?
@@Morningfame thank you for your kind answer! My style is live looping. Everytime i do a search using your keyword research tool, for example... ‘The Joke’ by Brandi Calile - Acoustic Cover - live looping (or just loop, or looping) i see that peoples don’t search for that term (just an example). In those situations, should i forget the live looping term and publish without those words on the title? Sometimes i go for it... sometimes I don’t. But in fact, i see that, as you said, it’s an area that is somewhat confusing. For example, the tab ‘instead of these ones, make more of these’ it’s not helping much on my area, as you may see if you think about it. But if i take all these details apart, it’s a great tool for my job. I just wanted to understand it better and adapt it better to my area.
@@nunocasais I see! It sounds like you already think of your video title in the #3 Search tab, could that be? In the #3 Search tab it is only about search terms. That are the terms that viewers actually enter into the search bar. A video title, however, is something different. As you know, you craft it in the #4 Optimize tab.

I'm getting people binge watch my videos. Oh you once asked me to let you know how I go using 3 hash tags in the description. You asked me to let you know after you did a video about why you stopped using hash tags. My videos have begun to grow since putting hash tags into my descriptionbox. So really good.
Awesome! Binge watching makes a huge difference. Interesting! How do you think did the hashtags influence your views? Do people search for these hashtags directly. Or is it some kind of indirect effect that you see e.g. in your traffic sources? Thanks for following up on this!
@@Morningfame I think because I put it in the description box, it becomes part of the SEO that Google loves. I know Google owns TH-cam and they are different too. But I think there might be some kind of algorithm cross over when it comes to the back end. I also write a few hundred words as well as add the hashtags and I also use the chapters. The internet loves hashtags so I think it helps as long as we don't overdo it. I use no more than 3 hashtags at a time, and they end up near the video title. So I would assume that is why it is noticed by TH-cam. It probably helps TH-cam work out what your video is about. and helps to push it out to the right people.

A great thing to add to magnets tab would be the ability to export the links to the top magnet videos with the name of the video. That way, they are easily available to use in a pinned comment.

@@Morningfame Exactly. Exported to a CSV with the name and the URL. Pop the CSV open, pick the magnet and use it as a pinned comment (if appropriate), a card, or on the end screen.
@@KayakhacksFishing Alright, nice! I have an idea for adding the magnet to your video description or pinned comment: Did you see the “Insert a Video Link” links below the description box and the pinned comment box in the #4 Optimize tab?

And then of course for the cards and end screens you only need the video link and not the video title. So you could directly copy the link in Morningfame’s report. How does that sounds?

Absolutely my pleasure Mike! I am glad that I finally shared the complete picture about the Suggested Videos algorithm in a short video. You probably remember that I once took 2 hours for that in a live stream. Way too much to ask to watch that, haha! ;)
Cheers Christian! Were you waiting because I mentioned this in my last video or do we have some kind of guru symbiosis because you always do a certain analysis and wished there was tool support for this?! 😃👍
I've become such an analytics nerd (coming from a math background, I guess that makes sense lol). I love it when I check my real time views and I see that I have a view on each video on a playlist that I personally curated. I think to myself. "Nice, I successfully got someone in my view funnel" Sure enough when I check the real time video analytics for one of those videos, I see that the view came from either "end screen" or "playlist"
High 5 Vinny! This is what I call “Linked Content” and is one of the very few ways in which we can actually influence ourselves how viewers navigate TH-cam. That is really worth learning to get right. :)
@@Morningfame I am using this techniques after your early acces video :-) My channel is still small, but hopefully within 6 months this strategy will pay of. I am going to focus aswell on making evergreen videos.
@@lenny_Videos Fingers crossed for that! Oh yea, it takes time to reach stage 3. But it all starts with stage 1 - linking up your videos to make then binge watchable - and that’s something I always recommend. 😃✌️
Danke Mann! Es muss doch möglich sein, den TH-cam Code zu knacken, wa? Ich bin da jetzt über 1 Jahr dran, auch den Videovorschlägen auf den Zahn zu fühlen, damit wir da ein genauso gutes Verständnis zu entwickeln, wie wir es bei der TH-cam-Suche schon haben. 😃✌️
Can you also influence the stage 3 mirroring from other channels' videos? For example, when one of your videos gets suggested of a big channel's video can you link that particular video in the end screen of your video to get the suggesting loop even better in the algorithm...
Interesting thought buddy! In general, you can nudge the Suggested Videos algo with that. However, Suggested Videos considers the direction in which viewers flow. So linking your video -> big channel’s video would nudge the algo to send additional viewers from your video -> big channel’s video. It doesn’t directly affect the other direction of big channel’s video -> your video. So I can say that there is no direct effect that you wish for and, sorry, I can’t say if there is any indirect effect that you wish for or not.
I like your cliffhangers! Seem to work well on me :) I has given a lot of thought to your idea of non-ordered series and sent viewers to my future video already. Now to actually make that video.
Cheers Marta! It is a really good idea to think beyond a single video and basically script the topics plus cliffhangers for a whole series in advance. Because if you can make this binge watching happen it’ll have a positive effect on all algorithms. :)
@@Morningfame hi nico, inside my morningfame report I have 6 channels that are recommending my content 4 of which are in the same niche as I am. This has given me some content ideas that I know my audience will like but also I am going to be reaching out to these channels to ask for a paid community post and/or a few paid endscreens . These channels are larger than mine which is currently at 4.5k subs. Currently gaining 400 subs per month 👍 just looking for that little bit of a boost .
@@darndarn99 Wow, interesting plan! With producing videos with these video topics you can naturally draw people from those other channels in. But with the placement of end screen elements or community posts on their channels you can make have this happen directly. And since their channel obviously have an audience overlap with you it really is worth trying to make happen! If you do, please share what you learn along the way. Super interesting! 😃👌
@@Morningfame - Thank you! I should add that I'm watching this in the TH-cam-app on a Samsung 8+. There is no card to click on, and at the end of the video, there is no card in the upper left corner either (maybe because it's not ready yet?). The final card in the upper right corner however does show up correctly. Thanks again for your help!
@@j.vonhogen9650 My pleasure pal! Weird that the app itself screws this up! But you are actually not the first from whom I heard that cards don’t work properly. I hope TH-cam fixes that rather soon than later!
@@Morningfame - For what it is worth, I'm using the standard TH-cam app downloaded from the Google Playstore on a Samsung S8+ with Android version 8.0.0 (no jail-break or any other mod). The TH-cam app version I have installed on my phone is version number 16.12.32. I hope the issue will be resolved soon, because your channel is awesome and really helps to understand TH-cam's inner workings. Keep up the great work!
Great video! I would give this video a 9.5/10. The cherry on top would have been to list out the 3 stages visually, to make it easy to understand from the first time you mention it. I feel like I would have to click around the video to really understand what the 3 stages are and what they are called. I think it is, 1 make people binge watch your videos, 2 show up on suggested videos of other channels , 3 then meta data copy huge channels to hopefully show up on theirs? haha Again 9.5/10! Great video, thank you!
Thanks a ton for your feedback buddy! Oh yea, that would have helped. Alright, let’s at least do that here. You were close: Stage 1: Make people binge watch your videos -> The “Linked Content” section will show if you succeed with that goal. Stage 2: The Suggested Videos algorithm mirrors that binge watch behavior -> You see the same video pair in the “Suggested Videos” section, “Top Recommending Channels” report for your own channel. Stage 3: The Suggested Videos algorithm automatically starts to show your videos next to other channels’ videos. -> You see that in the “Suggested Videos” section, “Top Audience Magnets” report. In that 3rd stage start producing more similar videos to those you e.g. see in the “Top Audience Magnets” report and maybe use similar words in the video titles. However, don’t put your focus too much on the “keyword thinking”. It’s not a main way to make the Suggested Videos algorithm work for you like we know that from the TH-cam Search algorithm. It’s really all about constantly making sure all your videos go through all 3 stages. Each new video needs to be integrated into binge watch sessions and then the magic can happen!
That’s great to hear Swati! Even if triggering Suggested at stage 3 is something that will take time for you, it’s never too early to start linking up your videos to ensure you set everything up according to stage 1. Can you already see a little bit of mirroring happen as I describe in stage 2 btw?
@@Morningfame First of all thank you so much dear to invest u r time to helping me ☺️ . Right now I don't have 700 subscribers n large audience , may be bcoz of less publicity ! But m sure I will work hard n make it happen 😊👍n u r there always to help me ☺️. I made chart abt my upcoming videos by considering viewers interest... let's c 🤞🤞. Thxs again stay safe n :-).
@@boxofspicesbyswatirane.3922 My pleasure Swati! While you do that, make sure you verify that that binge watching actually happens. This will be a solid foundation for the next stages.
Thank you very much for the info. My channel is about 400 Subs but I know that I am appearing on the suggested videos on other channels and I see it from Analytics and from friends. Most of my friends telling me that from the moment they subscribed they seeing my videos all over TH-cam. Hopefully will achieve my monetization requirements soon so at least I can start making some pennies so I can try to grow that channel more. I am trying to grow it and improving with each video. Thank you, Andrey
That’s the spirit Andrey! Cheers to that! :) Indeed, subscribers who watched several videos of yours quickly get to see your other videos in the Suggested Videos section. That reinforces the importance of making our core fanbase as happy as we can. They basically plant the seed for Home and Suggested Videos to promote your videos even to non-subscribers later on! Fingers crossed you reach monetization in no time. 😃✌️
Thanks Carl! I am glad it did. :) Oh wow, considering that you are at 1.7K subs, your view counts are incredibly high! No wonder you already reached stage 3. Kudos pal!
@@Morningfame Its a catch 22 situation for me! Because I make evergreen searchable content (tutorials), I struggle to get subs and returning viewers because once people see what they want they move on and dont watch another video (I've about a 3 to 5% returning audience) but on the other side of the coin I get great views and I leverage the power of search and google search (thanks to morningfame!). It can often take months for a video of mine to start bringing in views so sometimes my weekly report from morningfame can look like my channel is actually doing badly as its based on the last ten videos whilst my 12th or 13th video is starting to surge. Any ideas for what I should do to get more views from browse and suggested?
I got suggested way before 1000 (I'm at 866 right now) too. My biggest problem is there aren't really channels like mine. Well, there were not a year ago, there are a few collegues out there now. For me brighter thumbnails seem to be the answer for 'Home'. Since I found a way to turn boring sewing patterns into bright blocks of color I get much more views from Home.
@@CleaningHowTo I see. Indeed, that is guess what most how to channels have to go through. Great for search but tricky for growing returning viewers. My recommendation is that you create videos as series by design. So instead of thinking about single videos, script e.g. 3 videos as a series from the ground up. Make each of them quite short so that once people got what they want then the video is almost at the end and then include strong cliffhangers to make people watch the next episode. Here is a series design that is a great start for that: th-cam.com/video/VFjWqAidefw/w-d-xo.html
@@TechieSewing Good point Marta! Everything that makes people stop scrolling on Home is a good thumbnail. :) Yes, there are channels like yours!

Great question Nisa! I have a video in the pipeline that will talk about defining your niche clearly. But switching niches is a tricky topic. You have to see it like starting a new channel from zero in many cases. If you actually have an advantage of using your existing channel rather than starting a new channel, the big question is how many of your existing subscribers will be interested in the new videos that you do for a new niche. Usually most of them will not be interested. That’s natural. But if some of your subscribers stick around and continue watching your new videos then you have a jumpstart compared to starting a new channel. But most of the times you need to be aware that you are basically starting over. That’s unfortunately how it is...
This is something that will always happen. You can get it down to zero. But how you begin your video is crucial. Here are some thoughts on it: th-cam.com/video/_rO8TWmunek/w-d-xo.html
High 5 Paul! Beautiful. :) Well, no matter in which stage you are, you always need to continue feeding the algo with what I explained about stage 1 - namely linking your videos for binge watch sessions. Then keep verifying that the algo mirrors that according to stage 2 and adjust if it‘s not working for your new videos. But yes, although there is no clear level at which you can start doubling down in stage 3, definitely monitor the „Top Audience Magnets“ report to learn which video topics allow you to reach viewers on other channels. If the views are still small for those „magnet videos“ then incorporate the usual analytics as well to decide your next video topics because these views via the Suggested Videos from other channels may not be a big portion of your views yet. But keep an eye on these magnet videos to learn into which direction you may develop your channel! 😃👍
Great question Marco! Do you always cover news? Or do you also cover some evergreen topics like guidance on how to pick the best stocks or something like that? Because you can always link from your news videos to those evergreen videos and with that at least have two videos being watched in a row.
Thanks a lot my friend! What aspect of it do your find important if I may ask? Maybe that I go deep into the details? Or that I try to explain that you can easily follow? I appreciate it. :)
@@Morningfame I like the way you explain the optimisations of the channel to get more views. As a new TH-camr, I’m always learning from others channels. I find your channel easy to follow.
@@WOCRecipes Thank you very much! That’s great to hear. New youtubers like you are important to me and I will make sure to keep my easy to follow characteristic. :) Btw, your thumbnails look really yummy! Yummy = click. 😃👌 Keep it up!
Hahaha, clever statement! 😉 My rule for hearts is actually to use them to highlight follow-up conversations that add info to the video. I wonder how many of my viewers are actually aware of this, though. 😅
Hahaha, you know what Wally? I was aware of cliffhangers for the longest time. And a few years ago Brian G. taught me the hand-off method. After that it took me ages to see that the hand-off and cliffhangers are the same thing and that we actually can learn a lot from tv series! 👊😎
I always make sure that I have proper English closed captions. This means for you that you can use the auto translate feature on the desktop site with these few clicks: th-cam.com/video/KA-dahFIoHw/w-d-xo.html I hope this helps!
@@Morningfame What titles says but as usual generic blalbalb. I thought Germans with their attention to details will do better but you blalblab waffle even more. That was very much expcted lol You all know nothing about the algorithm cos it essentially A/B test randomizer. Even I know that. If we have 10 video reviews of some movie. Any of them can blow up irregarding of quality or anything else. Randomizer and human factor. That;s all there is to It. You can enter all the right keywords and that gives your change but that's about it. I have dozens of channels and did lots of tests. The very same video with identical title, desc, thumb can get drastically different views on a newly created one. Linking up your content? LOL of course you should use the tools given to you. When youtube gave everyone community post they pushed this feature hard. The same goes for shorts. Once it's over it's back to normal

@@Morningfame lol yeah but I did!!
Finally! I've been waiting for this! Thanks
Cheers Christian! Were you waiting because I mentioned this in my last video or do we have some kind of guru symbiosis because you always do a certain analysis and wished there was tool support for this?! 😃👍
I've become such an analytics nerd (coming from a math background, I guess that makes sense lol). I love it when I check my real time views and I see that I have a view on each video on a playlist that I personally curated. I think to myself. "Nice, I successfully got someone in my view funnel" Sure enough when I check the real time video analytics for one of those videos, I see that the view came from either "end screen" or "playlist"
High 5 Vinny! This is what I call “Linked Content” and is one of the very few ways in which we can actually influence ourselves how viewers navigate TH-cam. That is really worth learning to get right. :)
Excited to watch this. Good morning 🙂
Good morning Nichole! Enjoy! 😃
Great to see how this analysis tool works. Will be diving into that. Thanks.
Awesome, I hope you will get good insights from it! Let me know if you have any questions along the way. See ya, Nico
@@Morningfame I will. Thanks again!
Great Video Nico :-) Very good explanation how to get suggested on youtube. Thanx mate
I am glad you like it Lennart! To triggering the Suggested Videos! 😃🍻
@@Morningfame I am using this techniques after your early acces video :-) My channel is still small, but hopefully within 6 months this strategy will pay of. I am going to focus aswell on making evergreen videos.
@@lenny_Videos Fingers crossed for that! Oh yea, it takes time to reach stage 3. But it all starts with stage 1 - linking up your videos to make then binge watchable - and that’s something I always recommend. 😃✌️
Watched this twice, great job Nico, you have me binge watching your content this morning👍
Thank you so much Suzy! The things that I shared in this video are special to me, too. We have to get a grip on the Suggested Videos algorithm! 🤘😆
Alter... endlich mal jemand der sich WIRKLICH nen Kopf macht! Du hast es echt drauf 👌❤
Danke Mann! Es muss doch möglich sein, den TH-cam Code zu knacken, wa? Ich bin da jetzt über 1 Jahr dran, auch den Videovorschlägen auf den Zahn zu fühlen, damit wir da ein genauso gutes Verständnis zu entwickeln, wie wir es bei der TH-cam-Suche schon haben. 😃✌️
@@Morningfame saustark 💪🏻 weiter so!
Und DANKE ! *Nico der personifizierte Mehrwert auf TH-cam* 😎
@@eXorbitantebeatfuzZel Prost drauf Kumpel! Es gibt auf jeden Fall noch viel zu lernen und ich werds dann auch immer teilen! 😃👍
I am in stage 3. Thank you for explaining the process. Take care. 😎
That’s awesome to hear AJ! Your fly farm video must draw in audiences from many channels, right? 👊😎
@@Morningfame Yes it is. Enjoy your weekend.
Super interesting video Nico, thank you so much, very helpful!
That’s great to hear Sophie! My pleasure. :)
Can you also influence the stage 3 mirroring from other channels' videos?
For example, when one of your videos gets suggested of a big channel's video can you link that particular video in the end screen of your video to get the suggesting loop even better in the algorithm...
Interesting thought buddy! In general, you can nudge the Suggested Videos algo with that. However, Suggested Videos considers the direction in which viewers flow. So linking your video -> big channel’s video would nudge the algo to send additional viewers from your video -> big channel’s video. It doesn’t directly affect the other direction of big channel’s video -> your video. So I can say that there is no direct effect that you wish for and, sorry, I can’t say if there is any indirect effect that you wish for or not.
@@Morningfame thanks so I just link my videos for the best results :)
@@NinjaGuidesHQ Yes, preferably link your own videos to make people binge watch the videos on your channel. :)
@@Morningfame wondering if morningfame could add thumbnail split testing in the near future?
@@FESHTA I am actually considering to create one next year. I have no detailed plan yet but stay tuned! :)
I like your cliffhangers! Seem to work well on me :) I has given a lot of thought to your idea of non-ordered series and sent viewers to my future video already. Now to actually make that video.
Cheers Marta! It is a really good idea to think beyond a single video and basically script the topics plus cliffhangers for a whole series in advance. Because if you can make this binge watching happen it’ll have a positive effect on all algorithms. :)
I always learn so much from your videos. Thank you so much
Thank you so much pal! 😃✌️
Very helpful video 👍 I looked through my morningfame report and it has given me some great ideas 🙏
That’s awesome to hear Mark! Btw, what kinds of ideas did you get if I may ask? Thanks pal! :)
@@Morningfame hi nico, inside my morningfame report I have 6 channels that are recommending my content 4 of which are in the same niche as I am. This has given me some content ideas that I know my audience will like but also I am going to be reaching out to these channels to ask for a paid community post and/or a few paid endscreens . These channels are larger than mine which is currently at 4.5k subs. Currently gaining 400 subs per month 👍 just looking for that little bit of a boost .
@@darndarn99 Wow, interesting plan! With producing videos with these video topics you can naturally draw people from those other channels in. But with the placement of end screen elements or community posts on their channels you can make have this happen directly. And since their channel obviously have an audience overlap with you it really is worth trying to make happen! If you do, please share what you learn along the way. Super interesting! 😃👌
5:00 - "By the way, here is the same tutorial."
I believe something went wrong in the editing, because there is no link in the upper right corner.
Weird, the card shows up for me. Anyways, here is the link to that video about linking up videos: th-cam.com/video/fXJVjxLl0Fc/w-d-xo.html Enjoy! :)
@@Morningfame - Thank you! I should add that I'm watching this in the TH-cam-app on a Samsung 8+. There is no card to click on, and at the end of the video, there is no card in the upper left corner either (maybe because it's not ready yet?). The final card in the upper right corner however does show up correctly. Thanks again for your help!
@@j.vonhogen9650 My pleasure pal! Weird that the app itself screws this up! But you are actually not the first from whom I heard that cards don’t work properly. I hope TH-cam fixes that rather soon than later!
@@Morningfame - For what it is worth, I'm using the standard TH-cam app downloaded from the Google Playstore on a Samsung S8+ with Android version 8.0.0 (no jail-break or any other mod). The TH-cam app version I have installed on my phone is version number 16.12.32.
I hope the issue will be resolved soon, because your channel is awesome and really helps to understand TH-cam's inner workings. Keep up the great work!
@@j.vonhogen9650 Indeed, fingers crossed! :)
Great video! I would give this video a 9.5/10. The cherry on top would have been to list out the 3 stages visually, to make it easy to understand from the first time you mention it. I feel like I would have to click around the video to really understand what the 3 stages are and what they are called. I think it is, 1 make people binge watch your videos, 2 show up on suggested videos of other channels , 3 then meta data copy huge channels to hopefully show up on theirs? haha
Again 9.5/10! Great video, thank you!
Thanks a ton for your feedback buddy! Oh yea, that would have helped. Alright, let’s at least do that here. You were close:
Stage 1: Make people binge watch your videos -> The “Linked Content” section will show if you succeed with that goal.
Stage 2: The Suggested Videos algorithm mirrors that binge watch behavior -> You see the same video pair in the “Suggested Videos” section, “Top Recommending Channels” report for your own channel.
Stage 3: The Suggested Videos algorithm automatically starts to show your videos next to other channels’ videos. -> You see that in the “Suggested Videos” section, “Top Audience Magnets” report.
In that 3rd stage start producing more similar videos to those you e.g. see in the “Top Audience Magnets” report and maybe use similar words in the video titles. However, don’t put your focus too much on the “keyword thinking”. It’s not a main way to make the Suggested Videos algorithm work for you like we know that from the TH-cam Search algorithm. It’s really all about constantly making sure all your videos go through all 3 stages. Each new video needs to be integrated into binge watch sessions and then the magic can happen!
Hii Nico, very useful video n actually I really need this info for my channel . Thxs u r doing very great work. Stay safe n happy 😊.
That’s great to hear Swati! Even if triggering Suggested at stage 3 is something that will take time for you, it’s never too early to start linking up your videos to ensure you set everything up according to stage 1. Can you already see a little bit of mirroring happen as I describe in stage 2 btw?
@@Morningfame First of all thank you so much dear to invest u r time to helping me ☺️ . Right now I don't have 700 subscribers n large audience , may be bcoz of less publicity ! But m sure I will work hard n make it happen 😊👍n u r there always to help me ☺️. I made chart abt my upcoming videos by considering viewers interest... let's c 🤞🤞. Thxs again stay safe n :-).
@@boxofspicesbyswatirane.3922 My pleasure Swati! While you do that, make sure you verify that that binge watching actually happens. This will be a solid foundation for the next stages.
@@Morningfame hii Nico, yup ! I will keep it in mind..😊 thank you.
Amazing info as always Nico! So good to see you my friend 😊
Thanks Tim! I hope that we all get a better understanding of Suggested with this. :) Have a great weekend pal!
Nice! Great work as always!
Thanks a lot Andrew! Always trying my best and I am glad that shows. 😃✌️
I like your thumbnail! Keep up the good work!
I am happy to hear that! I am hard at work to level up my thumbnail designs and I am glad it shows. :)
Good explanation , thanks for your share 🙏
My pleasure. :) And thank you!
Thank you very much for the info. My channel is about 400 Subs but I know that I am appearing on the suggested videos on other channels and I see it from Analytics and from friends. Most of my friends telling me that from the moment they subscribed they seeing my videos all over TH-cam. Hopefully will achieve my monetization requirements soon so at least I can start making some pennies so I can try to grow that channel more.
I am trying to grow it and improving with each video.
Thank you, Andrey
That’s the spirit Andrey! Cheers to that! :) Indeed, subscribers who watched several videos of yours quickly get to see your other videos in the Suggested Videos section. That reinforces the importance of making our core fanbase as happy as we can. They basically plant the seed for Home and Suggested Videos to promote your videos even to non-subscribers later on! Fingers crossed you reach monetization in no time. 😃✌️
@Morningfame Thank you 🙌✌️
omg Nico! the light just went on! Thank you!
High 5 Peta! It’s a delight for me to hear that. :) Cheers to cracking the TH-cam code!
This is really cool, thanks Nico!
My pleasure Hooda! Enjoy the new additions to the tool. 😃✌️
I kinda understood this but this added to my knowledge - btw, I got suggested in other channel videos a good while before I hit 1000 subs.
Thanks Carl! I am glad it did. :) Oh wow, considering that you are at 1.7K subs, your view counts are incredibly high! No wonder you already reached stage 3. Kudos pal!
@@Morningfame Its a catch 22 situation for me! Because I make evergreen searchable content (tutorials), I struggle to get subs and returning viewers because once people see what they want they move on and dont watch another video (I've about a 3 to 5% returning audience) but on the other side of the coin I get great views and I leverage the power of search and google search (thanks to morningfame!). It can often take months for a video of mine to start bringing in views so sometimes my weekly report from morningfame can look like my channel is actually doing badly as its based on the last ten videos whilst my 12th or 13th video is starting to surge. Any ideas for what I should do to get more views from browse and suggested?
I got suggested way before 1000 (I'm at 866 right now) too. My biggest problem is there aren't really channels like mine. Well, there were not a year ago, there are a few collegues out there now.
For me brighter thumbnails seem to be the answer for 'Home'. Since I found a way to turn boring sewing patterns into bright blocks of color I get much more views from Home.
@@CleaningHowTo I see. Indeed, that is guess what most how to channels have to go through. Great for search but tricky for growing returning viewers. My recommendation is that you create videos as series by design. So instead of thinking about single videos, script e.g. 3 videos as a series from the ground up. Make each of them quite short so that once people got what they want then the video is almost at the end and then include strong cliffhangers to make people watch the next episode. Here is a series design that is a great start for that: th-cam.com/video/VFjWqAidefw/w-d-xo.html
@@TechieSewing Good point Marta! Everything that makes people stop scrolling on Home is a good thumbnail. :)
Yes, there are channels like yours! For your inspiration:

can you make a video about switching niches?
Great question Nisa! I have a video in the pipeline that will talk about defining your niche clearly. But switching niches is a tricky topic. You have to see it like starting a new channel from zero in many cases. If you actually have an advantage of using your existing channel rather than starting a new channel, the big question is how many of your existing subscribers will be interested in the new videos that you do for a new niche. Usually most of them will not be interested. That’s natural. But if some of your subscribers stick around and continue watching your new videos then you have a jumpstart compared to starting a new channel. But most of the times you need to be aware that you are basically starting over. That’s unfortunately how it is...
thanks for the advice on linking videos
My pleasure buddy! :) This really is the foundation for getting recommended on TH-cam. It’s a bit like SEO for the Search algorithm.
What can I do if people just leave in the first 5 secs?
Even though its not a clickbait.
This is something that will always happen. You can get it down to zero. But how you begin your video is crucial. Here are some thoughts on it: th-cam.com/video/_rO8TWmunek/w-d-xo.html
Hey, I'm finding that I'm getting views via suggested videos even though I have less than 1000 subs. Does this mean I can start on stage 3 ?
High 5 Paul! Beautiful. :) Well, no matter in which stage you are, you always need to continue feeding the algo with what I explained about stage 1 - namely linking your videos for binge watch sessions. Then keep verifying that the algo mirrors that according to stage 2 and adjust if it‘s not working for your new videos. But yes, although there is no clear level at which you can start doubling down in stage 3, definitely monitor the „Top Audience Magnets“ report to learn which video topics allow you to reach viewers on other channels. If the views are still small for those „magnet videos“ then incorporate the usual analytics as well to decide your next video topics because these views via the Suggested Videos from other channels may not be a big portion of your views yet. But keep an eye on these magnet videos to learn into which direction you may develop your channel! 😃👍
@@Morningfame Cools, good job I'm an active user of morning fame lol ! Has really helped over the last couple of months.
@@Pmdigitalmarketing Cheers pal! That’s awesome to hear! :)
thank you, my friend!!!
Cheers Steven! Always my pleasure. :)
Hi Nico I've got a problem, most of my subscribers joined my channels for news on stocks. So it's very hard for me to make a series...
Great question Marco! Do you always cover news? Or do you also cover some evergreen topics like guidance on how to pick the best stocks or something like that? Because you can always link from your news videos to those evergreen videos and with that at least have two videos being watched in a row.
@@Morningfame you know what? It's worth a shot! Thank you so much :)

Nico, please don't forget to heart my comment! Helps the Algorithm (ProTip) hahaha
Hahaha, clever statement! 😉 My rule for hearts is actually to use them to highlight follow-up conversations that add info to the video. I wonder how many of my viewers are actually aware of this, though. 😅
WOW learnt something I had completely overlooked.....CLIFF HANGER!!! How dumb am I Thanks
Hahaha, you know what Wally? I was aware of cliffhangers for the longest time. And a few years ago Brian G. taught me the hand-off method. After that it took me ages to see that the hand-off and cliffhangers are the same thing and that we actually can learn a lot from tv series! 👊😎

Your channel doesn't even views 😂
Waffling for 20 mins with no valuable info LOL yet another "expert"
I am sorry that it didn‘t connect the dots for you. What were you originally looking for if I may ask?
@@Morningfame What titles says but as usual generic blalbalb. I thought Germans with their attention to details will do better but you blalblab waffle even more. That was very much expcted lol You all know nothing about the algorithm cos it essentially A/B test randomizer. Even I know that. If we have 10 video reviews of some movie. Any of them can blow up irregarding of quality or anything else. Randomizer and human factor. That;s all there is to It. You can enter all the right keywords and that gives your change but that's about it. I have dozens of channels and did lots of tests. The very same video with identical title, desc, thumb can get drastically different views on a newly created one.
Linking up your content? LOL of course you should use the tools given to you. When youtube gave everyone community post they pushed this feature hard. The same goes for shorts. Once it's over it's back to normal
