From Zero to 4,000, How to Increase Watch Hours on YouTube

Back

Why Watch Hours Matter

YouTube uses watch hours to promote certain videos over others. Higher watch time improves your chances of being featured in search results and suggested videos, which can lead to increased views and subscriber growth.

Tips to Increase Your YouTube Watch Hours

  1. Create Longer, High-Quality Videos

    Aim for videos of 10 minutes or longer to boost watch time. Focus on delivering valuable, engaging content without sacrificing quality.

  2. Optimize Titles, Thumbnails, and Descriptions

    Craft engaging titles and eye-catching thumbnails. Optimize descriptions with relevant keywords to improve search visibility.

  3. Use Playlists to Organize Content

    Create playlists to encourage binge-watching. When one video ends, the next starts automatically, keeping viewers on your channel longer.

  4. Encourage Viewers to Watch Until the End

    Use engaging intros, tease upcoming content, and incorporate interactive features like cards and end screens to keep viewers hooked.

  5. Collaborate with Other YouTubers

    Partner with creators in your niche to tap into their audience and increase your views and watch time.

  6. Promote Your Videos on Other Platforms

    Share your content on social media and relevant forums. Cross-promotion can drive organic traffic to your videos.

  7. Analyze Your YouTube Analytics

    Monitor your watch hours and audience retention using YouTube Analytics. Use the insights to refine your content strategy.

Focus on creating quality content, optimizing for engagement, and promoting your videos across platforms.

FAQs

  • What counts as YouTube watch hours? Only public video watch time counts towards your total. Views on unlisted, private, or deleted videos, as well as Shorts and ads, do not contribute to monetization.

  • How can I increase my YouTube watch hours? Focus on creating engaging content, use playlists, add end screens, and consider live streams to boost interaction and watch time.
  • What happens if I don't reach 4,000 watch hours? You won't be eligible for monetization until you meet the requirement, but you can continue building your channel and reapply later.
  • Does embedding YouTube videos on websites increase watch hours? Yes, embedded views on external sites contribute to your total public watch hours.

Q: Need YouTube view stable for API (After the recent update, almost gone by), and the situation, also with watch time (21/10/2024)

A:

VIEWS:

We recommend these IDs which have a very rare case drop (under 5%): 1155, 1046, 1066, 1319, 111 (Speed as described)

ID376 works but may have some videos that cannot be suggested or views not counted.

ID525 works well but speed is slow, may take around 1-5 days for 1K.

ID130, 1104 work good, drop often only for some videos, around 5% of all orders.

All Native Ads views, ID1094, 1050, 999, 1055, 994, 1376, 1375, 1374, 951, 513, 850, 411, 524, 920, ... are not affected by updates but some video content cannot add views

WATCH TIME:

ID881 works good, under 5% drop cases, speed may not be as expected since we have more old views orders to solve on the same server

ID270 has around 10-15% drop cases at the moment and is being fixed day by day to lessen.

ID1435 may work well now, give it a try


20/10

Facebook post likes may have slower orders due to blocking and high order load on our side, often taking 2-4 days to run 500-1000 likes
