What’s going on?
Your videos are attracting new audiences and you’re convincing them to subscribe. If your channel continues to grow at this rate, you’ll reach 50,000 subscriptions this month instead of the two months it may have taken otherwise.
More subscriptions than usual, you gained 1,358 subscriptions, more than the 800 to 1,300 you typically gain and a month.”

Click the icon see more.
The subscriber’s column shows you the videos that are getting the most subscribers on your channel over the last 28 days. You can change this by just clicking on the drop-down and selecting 90, 365, lifetime or even custom. It will show you the number of views, watch time minutes, impressions and impressions click-through rate.
You can also add more stats to these columns by clicking on the plus sign. I can add average view duration which is the estimated average minutes watched per view for the selected content.
If I click the plus icon again, and select overview, and I can select average percentage viewed which is average percentage of a video your audience watches per view.
As you can see in my second top video, I got 53.9% average percentage viewed. It also got a 14.3% impressions click-through rate. This measures how often viewers watch the video after seeing an impression.

2. Make your most popular video your channel trailer.
When people visit your channel homepage, they’re probably going to check out your channel trailer. However, if your channel trailer has only got a few hundred views and a few hundred subscribers, they might leave your channel homepage. Instead, use a video that got the most subscribers as your channel trailer. You already know it’s a proven winner that attracts a lot of views and subscribers, so use it.
3. Add your most popular videos in the first section of your channel homepage.
For example, I identify the top videos on my channel that got the most subscribers and the most traffic, then create a playlist called Best of Drost Video. I added that playlist to the top section on my channel homepage, so when first-time visitors visit my channel homepage, they’ll see the videos that got the most traffic on my channel.
4. Make a better video.
Since you already identified the videos that are getting the most subscribers on your channel, create more of those types of videos.
For example, you can even use the same title of your best performing video, but make the video longer and more engaging. Approach the topic from a different angle. Use a different hook, include B-roll and transitions to reset the attention of the viewers. This will help your viewers to remain engaged throughout the duration of your video.
Another thing to do is to improve the click-through rate by redesigning your thumbnail and testing different thumbnails. If you improve the click-through rate of your YouTube video, YouTube will surface more of your videos on other people’s channels.
The same will happen if you improve the audit retention and the watch time of your videos.
5. Create a video series.
The purpose of creating a video series is to get more watch time on your YouTube videos. The goal of YouTube is to keep people on the YouTube platform, so if you create a video series, people will take a deeper dive into your content and binge-watch your videos.
One of the ways to do this is to create videos around similar topics of your top-performing videos. When viewers take a deeper dive into your content by watching a series of videos in your playlist, they’ll be more motivated to subscribe to your channel.
6. Create an official playlist for your video series.
The beauty of an official playlist is that the videos on that playlist will be suggested to your viewers based upon their browsing behavior. Make sure you optimize the title and description of that official playlist. Also, select the best thumbnail for one of the videos in the playlist.
After you’ve got a lot of traffic to your playlist, identify the best performing video in that playlist and move it to the top of your playlist. The top-performing video in your playlist has already been proven as a winner, so use it to motivate people to binge-watch the rest of your videos.
7. Link each video to your playlists.
Use cards and end screens to link to the next video in your playlist. So instead of viewers just watching one video, it gives them more opportunity to take a deeper dive into your content by watching more of the videos in your playlist.
You can also pin that playlist to the top of your comments so when people go to comment on your video, they’ll see the playlist.
Add the playlist to your description so when people check out your description, they’ll be given the opportunity to check out more of your videos.
Here are some bonus tips.
- Ask viewers to subscribe in your video.
You can ask in the beginning, at the end, or both, but give them a reason to subscribe. - Add a subscribe watermark across all the videos on your channel.
A small icon will appear at the bottom-right of each video. - Keep track of your best performing videos.
Visit YouTube analytics to identify your top-performing videos. See which ones are getting the highest click-through rate, audit retention, and watch time. YouTube will place a card like this at the beginning of each month if your channel has grown.
