Message: [QUOTE="MilkMan, post: 126837, member: 64224"] Just watched your Christmas video and it was very good. Getting views on Youtube is essentially like winning the lottery. There are some creators I've watched that made videos for years and years before the algorithm finally picked them up and they started getting more than 1k views. Looking at your channel history it looks like you've only been posting regularly for about 4 months, so you're really not doing too badly. When it comes to viewer retention I think at least in your christmas video the style of the video doesn't lend itself well to high viewer retention. Specifically it's a video with lots of short segments and lots of recommendations on lessser known games. What happened to me while watching that video was I kept seeing games that looked interesting and I would pause the video, open a new tab, google that game and start going down rabbit holes that eventually could lead to me forgetting the video all together. This is great for me, but it's bad for your viewer retention. The Mickey 3 NES game looked interesting to me but your video didn't actually go into any depth about what the gameplay was like or the history of the game, developer or series it was a part of. I saw that game and opened a wikipedia article to learn more about it because I felt like the video didn't tell me enough about it. I think if was a shorter video with less games but more detail the viewer retention would be higher. Also try to tell stories and personal anecdotes when you can. People love hearing stories and a large part of the retro gaming community is nostalgia based so if you have a story or memory associated with a game, tell it and then use that story to springboard off of and provide more information about the game.
