How do you end your videos???

You can end in may ways for eg.
1. Credits
Tell people to subscribe to your channel
2. Tell Something about what's next.
You can tell what you will be uploading in your next video.
3. Tell About Yourself.
Very rarely used but can be
4. Feature A Video
Done mostly on hit videos so that other videos also get the view time.
5. Do Nothing
Not an option but many usually do not watch till the end
 
I end the same way I often asked women out through text/paper when I was single, using multiple choice. I say, "If you liked this video, then choose one of the following"
A) Subscribe and like
B) Listen to the share bear over there and show that you care
C) Watch my latest video
D) Tell me to jump off a bridge/get struck my lightning/ lock myself in the cage

I specifically use "If you like," because IF statements imply a trade or a value exchange, and sounds less like I'm begging. I also use a multiple choice format to make it a game and ask only for one thing. Also, subscribers often quit once they see your end card which ruins watch time, so I always change D) so people stay till the last second. The psychology behind my close is that I ask people only to do one thing out of the 4, so people don't get overwhelmed. Now if you study psychology, people often don't pick the option that costs the most. Fast food companies know this and know you probably won't pick the extra large coffee or sandwich, that you'll go for the large or medium. But they need to put that option there or it'll increase your chance of choosing small. Similarly, I know most people won't choose B) and share so they'll just pick A) or C). If they pick A) then great. If they pick C) then they'll watch another video which bring them back eventually to another multiple choice question. And D) is there to show I don't make a big deal out of this, whether you subscribe or not.

My outro line is something to the effect of - "You've been watching (game), I'll see you next time. Peace out." I used to make an end card for my old Ocarina of Time videos but I stopped doing that.
 
I'm still working on this but what I doing now and plan on doing in the future is ending the video on a positive note. Not necessarily saying "alright see you guys in the next one!" But just ending with a goal complete or something of that nature. I believe this might cater to the viewers need to continue a story. If you don't say goodbye they won't leave! Just my thoughts on it. Like your channel!
