I'm trying to gauge what a 'good' audience retention rate is so I'm curious what your 90-day percentage is.
My overall 90 day retention rate is 54% - not sure if that's good, average, or bad
What's yours?
Hi there,
I'm curious as to why you want to achieve a good retention percentage?
It's hard to tell whether your retention percentage is "good, average, or bad" without any information about video length.
For example;
Mine is about 20% at the moment which is pretty poor.
This could be a very good retention rate in the eyes of YouTube if your videos are generally 40 minutes to an hour long.
On the other hand if you upload 10 videos that are all a minute long then you will probably have a high retention percentage as it is likely that people will stick around for a large portion of that short video.
Also,
Mine is at 31% for last 90 days and 33% for last 28 days. So you're doing better than me lol. I think able 30% is ok. But the more you grow I imagine it will creep up
An increase in retention percentage does not have a relationship with the growth of a channel.
If anything, it is a statistic that you should not focus on. It would be way more beneficial if you focus on average view duration... If you constantly try to increase this whilst paying close attention to your Relative Audience Retention I assure you that your channel will grow.
