The creator emphasizes practical methods like analyzing channel analytics, engaging with audiences on social media, and using keyword research tools. ### Key Points - **Understand Your Target Audience** [00:03] — To create engaging content, you must have a complete and deep understanding of your audience's interests, problems, and preferences. Use YouTube Studio's Channel Analytics to identify top content over the last 90 days and create second versions or continuations of popular videos. - **Engage on Social Media** [01:34] — Create social media accounts (e.g., Facebook pages/groups) to discuss with your audience their problems and interests. If you lack an audience, join large pages with similar content and read comments to find discussion topics and video ideas. - **Listen to Audience Requests** [02:02] — Pay attention to every opinion and request from your audience. If viewers request specific videos, create them to fulfill their wishes, which increases engagement and loyalty. - **Use Keyword Research Tools** [02:17] — Utilize tools like Google Ads Keyword Planner to find high-search-volume keywords that represent audience problems. Avoid topics with only 10-20 searches per month; focus on those with thousands of searches to ensure views. - **Study Your Competitors** [03:29] — Analyze channels with similar content to identify popular topics. Compare their most-viewed and least-viewed videos to understand success factors, and read comments on competitor channels for content ideas. - **Adapt Successful Ideas** [04:29] — Follow both local and international channels, find successful ideas, and adapt them to your own style. This is a key to success as long as you craft them uniquely. - **Learn from Your Favorite Channel** [05:16] — Ask yourself what attracts you to your favorite channels: originality, editing, or filling a content gap. Emulate those aspects in your own videos, such as improving editing or adding b-roll footage. - **Consult Your Team or Close People** [06:37] — Seek advice from trusted people around you, as 'he who consults will not be disappointed.' They can provide inspiration and loyalty, but avoid discouraging individuals. ### Conclusion The four-step approach—understanding your audience, studying competitors, learning from favorite channels, and consulting trusted people—has proven effective for the creator, leading to improved channel views. Consistent application of these strategies can help any YouTuber grow their channel. ## Transcript have a complete and deep understanding of your target audience on the YouTube platform. What does " complete and deep understanding" mean? It means being familiar with every detail about your target audience. You need to know their interests, what topics most likely attract them, and what problems they face. You'll then create solutions to these problems in the form of videos, which will start generating engagement. So, how do you find out the biggest problems your audience faces, their interests, or every detail, as you mentioned? For example, in some videos, we see comments from people saying, "I was just thinking about this, and then I saw you posted a video." You also need to reach this stage. How do I find out? First, go to your YouTube Studio channel analytics, then Channel Analytics. You'll start to find something called "Top Content on Your Channel During This Period." Select the last 90 days, and you'll start to find a group of videos. These are the most popular videos on your channel for the last three days. If your videos have been viewed for months, then your audience is definitely interested in them. So, start making a second version of these videos, a second part with a different approach, a continuation. These are topics your audience is already interested in, so if you start working on this type of content, you'll get views. Start by looking at the content and see which videos have the highest audience retention rates. This means that these videos are popular and satisfying with your highest audience retention rates. This means that these videos are popular and satisfying with your see why they achieved such a high audience retention rate so you can start working on similar content. Another way to identify the problems your target audience faces is to have social media accounts, like a Facebook page or group, and start discussing with your target audience what problems they're facing. What topics are you guys interested in right now? You might say, "I'm poor, I don't have a target audience, I don't have anything." Go to large pages with similar content to yours, look at the comments, and see what discussions are happening there. How? Start by looking at groups with similar content to yours. You'll find tons of ideas. Using these ideas, you can start creating videos that discuss the problems your target audience faces. You also need to listen to every opinion you receive. For example, if someone requests a specific video, or if a group example, if someone requests a specific video, or if a group of comments requests specific videos, create them and fulfill the wishes of your target audience. You also need to use keyword research tools to find the most searched keywords. These keywords represent the problems your audience faces and the topics they search for. We've talked before about Keyword Planner, which is Google Ads' Keyword Planner tool. Through it, you can identify the most searched keywords. For example, if you're going to create a topic, is there enough search volume, or are you wasting your time? If a topic only gets 10 to 20 searches per month, there's no need to waste your time on it. You can replace it with a topic that gets on it. You can replace it with a topic that gets 10,000 searches per month. So, when you create a new topic... Topics that are already being searched for will get you views. I'll leave a video in the description that will show you how to get the most searched keywords using the Keyword Planner tool. There shouldn't be a YouTuber who doesn't know how to use this tool. It's a free tool from Google, and anyone can use it. If you want to use the FeedIQ tool to find out which keywords are most searched for and which keywords have the most competition, and all of that, I'll also leave a video in the and all of that, I'll also leave a video in the description that explains this topic. So, the first thing is that you need to description that explains this topic. So, the first thing is that you need to understand your target audience and you need to know every little understand your target audience and you need to know every little detail. Number two, you must study your competitors in any field in the world in order to understand that field and to lead in that field, you must study your competitors in the same field. When you study your competitors on YouTube or people who create the same content as your channel, you will be able to find out what topics are most popular. How is competitive analysis done on YouTube? You should follow channels that post the same content as you and start watching or comparing the most-viewed videos with the least-viewed ones. You'll need to identify the gaps in their success—why one got good views and another got few. This will benefit you in your future videos and help you generate ideas. You also need to read the comments on your competitors' channels. Look at their comments; you'll get plenty of ideas to use in your future videos. These videos are of interest to your competitors' audience because they're the same audience as you. I'm one of those people who found this helpful recently. I actually follow both Arabic and international channels, find successful ideas there, and then adapt them into my own videos. Even in adapt them into my own videos. Even in one of my videos this month, someone commented that I took the idea from a foreign channel. So what's the problem? This is one of the keys to success: finding ideas, adapting them, and crafting them in your own way, as long as those ideas are successful and generate views. At other channels, and I will also leave you a video in the description that teaches you how to get ideas from competing channels. Number three, learn from your favorite channel. Each of us has learn from your favorite channel. Each of us has some favorite channels. As soon as we see a notification from this channel, we start running to see what this channel has posted and start following the video with enthusiasm. So ask yourself some questions: What is the thing that attracts you the most in this channel? Is the originality of the topics that the topics are exclusive and no one has done them before? Is the editing very good? So, because of this editing, there's visual enjoyment, and that's why you're watching this channel? Is there a lack of content? This channel fills a gap in that content, so why do you follow it? By answering these questions, you'll have a good understanding of why you follow this channel and why it's successful. This will greatly help you create engaging videos that people will follow with the same passion you have for your favorite channel. We've been doing this recently too. I started watching channels I like and trying to emulate them. I started paying more attention to editing and adding by-roll videos to my own. Instead of you seeing me all the time, I can share a free clip. We've talked about how to find free clips through sites like Pixlab, Pix, and Pixels, and others ( I'll leave the video in the description). I started filming while standing still for a bit and changing locations. Currently, I'm filming from the rooftop. Imagine, it's hot down there! What's stopping me from trying new things? I'm starting to do things I don't usually do, but I see them on other channels. These are the things that have attracted me. For other channels, I started doing it my way, number four: consult your team or the people close to you. There's a saying, "He who consults will not be disappointed." Consult the people around you, whether you have a team or even if you're working alone, and consult your family and friends. But try to consult the people who love you, not the people who discourage you. People ask, "What do you think, guys? What's the deal with this video? What do you think the next video should be about?" These things can inspire ideas you never imagined. Having someone you trust to give you their opinion will, first of all, create loyalty to you. They might even think for you and come up with ideas you never thought possible. So, never, ever consult the people around you. Always consult your channel's audience. If you have a forum, start asking them questions and interacting with them. These are the four things that have benefited me recently, and my channel's views have actually started to improve. Understand your audience, study yourself, and learn from your favorite channel. Don't be disappointed if you don't consult or ask your team or those around you. If you're still with us and actually benefited from this video, give it a like and tell us what you think in the comments. Which of these four points caught your attention the most? And tell us what you think of this atmosphere. Of course, nothing is visible because it's midnight, so I thought I'd change things up. It's hot midnight, so I thought I'd change things up. It's hot downstairs, so I decided to go upstairs. Bye! downstairs, so I decided to go upstairs. Bye!
