How to Keep People Watching YouTube Videos to the End

Social media marketing is all about building relationships with your audience. You want to project a relatable image and tell stories that are meaningful to potential customers.

Long-form video content gives you the space to tell those stories and build those relationships. The proof is in the results: short-form creators on platforms like TikTok struggle to acquire follower counts that match their viewing figures, but on YouTube, you can gain followers from a single upload. 

Posting content on YouTube also gives you an unmatched level of reach. It’s called the second-biggest search engine for a reason! The algorithm is designed to surface relevant and interesting content for viewers, which means that your in-depth videos can get an organic boost. 

Finally, YouTube is almost unique among social networks in how it pays you to post. You can join the YouTube partnership program if you have at least 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours of watch time. You can monetize even faster if you work with brand sponsorships. 

But in the end, all of these benefits of long-form video content depend on one thing: retention.

People must want to watch—and keep watching—your videos. Retention is what makes space for your brand story, sends the right signals to the YouTube algorithm, and enables you to earn money from your content. 

The most successful YouTube videos have four compelling elements in common.
