Boost the participation of your audience by interacting with your community.  This will improve your video’s YouTube rankings (meaning more promotion), will improve subscriber loyalty, and will help make your video/channel known to others.  Encouraging your viewers to comment, like and share is a great way to enhance their participation!

Some tips to engage your audience…

YouTube takes into account the watch time of your videos to determine how to reference them in the search engine.  The “average view duration” of your videos in absolute value is more important than the “average percentage viewed.” For example, a long video with an average percentage viewed of 40% and an average view duration of 4 minutes is referenced better than a shorter video with an average percentage viewed of 70% but an average view duration of only 2 minutes 30 seconds. 

To improve the watch time, the best thing to do is find a scenario that will captivate your audience until the end of the video.  Of course, this is easier said than done!  To help give you some inspiration, here are some very creative ideas that we found can help significantly improve the watch time of your videos (average view duration) and even encourage people to re-watch some of your content.
