Don't Miss Out On Lost Lights Ranked Mode

Behind the scenes

For my next few videos, including this one, I'm gonna experiment a bit by creating shorter videos. Right now people generally don't watch my videos for more than 3 minutes with the average being around 2 minutes and 30 seconds. This amount to around 30% of my videos length. I'm hoping that by shortening my videos I'll still be able to keep people around for as long which means more of my videos get watched in total.

This could of course do a total backfire. If people keep watching for only 30% of the videos length that means I'm getting much less watch time off of these shorter videos. Still, it's worth experimenting with. It just means I have to be more picky about what I chose to put in the videos themselves.

When it comes to this one I'm not quite sure. For some reason I just don't feel like it's a very good video. I felt good writing the script and such but once the final product was ready I kind of felt like the video didn't really have much of a point to it. I made a few changes and decided to not dwell on it anymore and just get it out there. If it works, it works and if it doesn't, it doesn't.

I wasn't quite sure if I was going to make videos about The Cycle: Frontier for now or Lost Light. Ultimately I ended up going for Lost Light as the last video I made about the game is currently the most popular video on my channel. It's pulling in close to 500 views daily and it's been doing that since I published it. My video about The Cycle: Frontier has been kinda dead in the water after its initial boom. I should probably change the title and thumbnail of that one in hopes of resurrecting it.

My next few videos will also be about Lost Light after which point I'll probably be moving on. I'll be putting out three tips and tricks videos about three different aspects of the game. I was originally gonna be making it into one large video but I decided to cut it down to three separate ones instead as part of the experiment I talked about above. This will also make my videos and name pop up even more for people who search about the game, giving me more exposure.

Hopefully those tips and tricks videos will have even higher retention seeing as they'll be bringing more value to people over my own personal opinions.

Custom URL

I also finally reached the 100 subscribers mark and was able to create my own personal URL for the channel. Behold!

In the meantime I've also hit a few more achievements and milestones with my channel. I've passe 10,000 views in total and I'm now over 500 hours of total watch time. There's still a long way to go to become monetized but I'm off to a great start. At this pace I should be there sometime early next year. My hope though is that things will be speeding up the more videos I have. More videos means more exposure and potentially more views and subscribers.
