Woah! I'm totally subscribing to your channel! very interesting things you said here... I'm in my second year on Youtube and I only have 286 subscribers, and it's really hard to get them to participate in the comments section....

I see the most audience drop off when the video doesn't set a strong hook rather quickly and when the branded intro is basically just a logo flashing around.

By and large I don't use an intro anymore, for most things. I still have one in my main series but I found that it is actually quite productive to have the intro second. So the video opens and you throw out your hook, follow it with a short branding "intro" and then dive into the meat and potatos. Works reasonably well.

Nobody is impressed by a flashy look at how I pirated Adobe After Effects and stole this theme from videocopilot anymore. :)

Thanks for all the fantastic advice, Tim! I love watching your videos, they're all super helpful, thank you for doing what you do :D
 
Good explanation of how to get the ball rolling man I agree that you need engaging thumbnails and in your videos you need to get to the point rather than try to drag it out.
 
Thanks for the useful information guys! This really helps me out in the start of my channel. I have a struggle making good quality thumbnails because I have been practicing and making them is a real struggle for me.
 
Hey! Great advice! I've been youtubing for a year now and I feel as if I accomplish all of those given 'requirements' and I still don't feel as if I'm growing as much as I should. I'm not so sure what I'm doing wrong and I could really use some advice :)
Thanks!
