I don't honestly know how, but I've managed to acquire 20K subs and 50K followers on Instagram in my first month, just making simple videos. Thanks, Derral for being the person to convince me to upload more consistently!
Also, I just have to say it's insane how huge of a platform RUclips is. Derral throws around millions of watch time minutes in this video, but if you do the simple math, 1 million watch time minutes is just about 2 solid YEARS of time. That's amazing.
Its like a good baseball batter. You practice, examine the pitches, and keep swinging for singles, doubles, triples. You don't go for the homerun but every once in awhile you hit that sweet spot and you knock it out. RUclips is the same way. You keep swinging and eventually you connect. Never stop swinging creators.
This was an amazing experience, thank you hosting this event and for your support. I learned so much! I recommend everyone go to Vidsummit if you really want to learn how to grow your channel. Vidcon is for the fans, Vidsummit is for the creators that are serious about this brand.
lol i heard it...paused the video..scrolled down to see if anyone else was hearing what I was!!! i hope it doesnt go on the whole video...but if it does then oh well! im determined enough to listen thru it it and block it out haha! great webinar so far
Good stuff Derral! I just launched and got my first 3 subscribers. lol. I'm going to stick this out for the long term because I know I have what my community values. I already know how I'm going to tighten up my vids and format. This is going to be fun. Mark my words brother, I will get this page to blow up, and you Derral will be a big part of that. Thanks for everything dude. You are appreciated!
This was amazing to hear, thank you so much for making this. I am currently getting a lot of views from browse features, and noticed some massive growth (for someone of my size) in the past few weeks. I think this is going to help me take my channel in the right direction. I'm seeing baselines every few weeks that shoot up significantly after some new videos. This was great, and should make a big difference in my channels future. One thing I wonder is, once you hit a baseline (establish a new one) how long would someone have such as myself (daily poster) to get to a new baseline? A second question is in regards to playlists - you are saying it's beneficial to make 2 playlists per week of content that starts with MY videos, but includes relevant videos from all people in my genre?
+LoverFella it can be as fast as 20 - 40 days. For the second question- make at least 2 per week... if you are post daily you don't need to bring other people content unless it make sense for the playlist. For example, I have a few Tim Schmoyer videos in a few playlist and he has a few of mine
This is some really good insightful information. I'm glad I found this channel (I know I'm hella late) but man watching this is helping me think of a different approach into how I use RUclips and what I should really be focusing on...
Been a lurker for awhile, but I've been on a binge of your videos today so I thought I would comment here. I absolutely loved this video, I learned quite a bit. Hopefully I can have those videos that can allow me to have that massive audience growth. I commit a lot of time to videos, but it seems like I'm not able to get those trigger videos. I'll keep trying! Anyways thanks for the great content as always! :D
Hey Nathan I just wanted to say that I am deeply involved with helping those with depression and getting people to understand that it effects a lot of people. I will sub your channel for sure. Please check out my channel which will be focused on the arts, sociology, mixed with history and politics. Hopefully i will also get my channel off the ground this year as I just begun it in 2017!
I am going to give this 100 day challenge a try. I literally listen to your videos through out my day at work Derral. Truly learning something new with every video and finding further and further inspiration!
There are lots of tips on how to grow a RUclips channel...But I think the most important one is to never give up... Because crowd is going to notice you ...All the bests to every young RUclipsr who dreams big 😍💕
Not the crowd, RUclips search engine will forget you. If u upload 1 video in 2 or 3 months you will pop up back in the line of notification list and there will be more channels in front of you because they upload 1 or 2 in week. :) Cheers
Amazing video Derral! I have a question for you. Does having a channel that is not monetized negatively affect your channel? I've always wondered this. Thanks.
Seriously, i've watched this video already for 2 times. This video is super helpfull !! I'm writing everything down. I wish i knew about all this a year back hihi. But this will definitely help me a lot !!
Great video, Derral! You really inspire me try my very best! I will continue to strive and try to do the best I can at everything I do. Also, the advise that you gave is priceless. I am so glad I have stumbled across your channel! I will definitely need the support and the drive. Thanks so much for giving us, the viewers, a great experience. I will definitely be using this information to grow my channel! -DriveAndBeDriven "The Quest To Record The Best!"
So far good video, except, There is a popping sound that starts at 13:18. Not good. Just giving you a heads up Derral. Also your compression in the audio is too low. I would bring up the sound quality if I were you. You can go into your video render settings and make sure that you are choosing the highest audio quality.
Great information! I plan on rewatching this several times. At this point I want to start making a living off of youtube (if I can seem to build an audience.) Knowing how the algorithm works seems to be one of the most important things to making it here. Retention, collaboration, and uploading consistently seems to be the name of the game. I am curious as to how this all affects channels that only upload a short sketch once a week. Can those channels still survive with how youtube promotes content? It seems like back in the day that was what succeeded but now everything has gone into longer content with more commentary, or vlog related subjects.
Dude you will NOT make a living off of youtube for a LONG time!!! You have practically a zero subscriber channel. And look, more than 300'000 other people have already watched this video and are all going to apply this algorithm. You have no chance... Sorry man
Thanks. Love your optimism. I'm not saying I think it'll happen tomorrow. Learning an algorithm to how RUclips works isn't a formula to success, it's just the knowledge to use it to your advantage. It's a starting point to how to market yourself to gain exposure for your content. At the end of the day it doesn't matter how you use the algorithm if you aren't making good content. That's where you learn to better yourself.
Only At Northfield Yeah, you're right, sorry for that. But Derral keeps saying that there is this one video that gets A TON of views and spikes your channel, and then he talks the whole lecture about what to do AFTER you got that video popular... But how do you make a video that will get hundreds of thousands of views in the first place?? He never said! I am looking for some info too...
thanks this really help me . My wife and I just started a channel together last weekend. This is the first time we actually posted videos we normally watched them . The tips you gave I will surely put them to use thanks so much , and keep up the great work .
Hi Derral, brilliant presentation and everything is in line with my channel. One video saw my channel grow (relatively) massively after it had a spike etc. But a few questions remain, if you would be so kind! #AskDerral 1) You said the first thing you'd do is block advertisers - how do I decide, and how do I implement that? 2) What can I do to repeat the steps of the video that created the spike in growth? I can't be certain why it grew because of this one video, but obviously I want to replicate it! Many thanks!
#1 block in Adsense (Be Very Careful with this) #2 You need to make sure the videos that you release after the spike have really good titles and Thumbnails. Also, the content should be awesome!
I've never actually considered blocking advertisers at all, therefore I am unsure as to whether to block/who to block/how to block specific advertisers and above all, how to determine whether it will help the overall CPMs for the channel! Any help appreciated!
Hey Derral, great video. Would love to see more of these presentation type videos on the channel where you get deep into a certain topic. I have one question though. How can I choose what ads are on my videos? Also funny you were talking about Chad. I watched him before he blew up and then made a video on him blowing up and it became my most viewed video and he watched in and commented, just a cool experience to interact with larger RUclipsrs with me being so small.
Derrel I love watching your videos. You sharing the business behind the business and is exactly what we are all looking for. Thanks for everything you do. You rock!
Thanks for all the helpful information. My daughter came to me a few weeks back asking to start a RUclips channel and I am watching all your useful videos and hope I can help her grow her channel.
#AskDerral Hey! At 38:13 How you do you block unfriendly advertisers that do not match with your brand? I watch a lot of these youtube grow your ch videos. This was the best video I ever watched on the youtube growth topic. Congrats!!!
Thanks for answering You're like one of the only people that answers me. I went onto another youtube ch & they were promoting affiliate amazon links. The guys seemed nice. I asked a question and for whatever reason, they banned me from the ch and blocked my question which made me think, SHADY! Later!!
Nope. I never seen mail from him. He's probably really busy traveling or something. I miss loads of mail too. I have the most ironic analytics. On my recent high audience retention over 65%-80% videos in the past 3-4 months, those high audience retention videos have a lower amount of views. It makes no sense at all. This youtube thing is not as solid as people think... I also notice there is an mysterious force that kills a viral video fast. It feels like the stock market. A lot of unexplained space here.
Great talk Derral, really wish we could have made it this year. This is much more my level of discussion versus VidCon. It's in my calendar for next year.
#AskDerral Is there a way to tell session time of the people I bring to RUclips? I often embed my videos on other sites, should I not be doing that? I often get people to come to RUclips by watching my reviews in the first place, but I never realized that I should stop sending them to my website to see my written reviews and giveaways after. :/ Also, thanks so much for this video. I have learned a lot. Looking at my analytics, I see those spikes happen and then a higher baseline after a couple. Of course my format is not ideal for watch time , so that's a bit of a bummer. I will need to try to put out more reviews or figure something out in between to compensate for practically all my videos all being less than 5 minutes.
Session time is really Audience Retention, in your analytics. this is one of the stats he mentioned that youtube pays a bit of attention to. Audience Retention is important in getting people to watch more of your video, hence, more minutes of watch time.
Robert Mertens No, he said session time is the entire time that the person is on RUclips after watching your video. Like say a person comes to watch my video; I want to know how long they stick around after watching stuff, or if they just leave after mine sort of thing.
I get that, now, after watching a second time. I was also wondering if there's a way to know if the session began with your video or someone else's, and you can get sort of an idea by looking at traffic sources. Most of mine is from Suggested Videos, but a strong source is RUclips Search, which says it could have started with my video. Some of mine also come from external sources, which could have been google search. Yahoo search, Facebook, Google+ and more, which means the session begins with your video. And then, did the session end with your video, because at the end of mine, I suggest visiting my website, which I'm not sure is a very strategic move, except that I post and organize all of my videos on it. Unfortunately, I see that less than 1% (3.8% of 12%) of traffic comes from my own website, so it may not be a good idea to suggest, as he says, leaving the session. Apparently, however, either there isn't much traffic to my website, or there isn't much traffic back. But I do that on all of my videos. Now that I see this, I may have to stop doing that - it may be killing my channel. I could also look over my website analytics to see where traffic is coming from or going to. There's quite a bit you can glean from this.
Derral he needs to watch some more videos of yours. Sometimes when you change profiles in the top right corner we can see who you manage. Lets just say its a very impressive list of people, companies, and groups. Im impressed and thats why Derral Eves is our go to for youtube info.
Great info as always. My channel problem is watch time since my videos are animated ads that run between 20-60 seconds. I've now implemented sending peeps to playlists instead of single videos and am switching from annotations to end screens so the videos are now mobile friendly. I'm a big fan, keep up the good work!
I had to come over and share I am so excited that my watch time has finally started to lift off the ground! I am starting to see it grow upward and I am excited to see how my first vlog performs this week!
Hello Aimee. I really like your RUclips Channel and I wanted you to know that I've subscribed to it. :) I'd really appreciate it if you sub me back.. Thanks in advance and I look forward to watching more videos from you in the future. Tim ;)
Thanks for sharing this Derral. Very interesting about the baseline jumps. I have noticed this several times on my channel and it's been linked to very similar similar type of content each time (landscape photography vlogs).
Derral - great video! Lots of excellent information to process and put into practice :) Question - at 40:00 minutes you talk about proper placement of ads in videos. Could you explain this concept a bit more in depth?
I'm floored by the amount of stuff I learn from every one of your videos! The problem I'm facing is how to incorporate everything into my channel. We're geared towards getting veterans and youth on some fun hunting and fishing adventurers, but there's a LOT of similar channels out there. How do you stand out in a situation like that?
This talk was amazing, ive learnt so much. My channel is actually doing the spike and then levelling up I just didn't realise why but I've figured it out now and have plans to get more growth spikes and I have a good three month plan. So thank you!
Just started this channel and poured on it a lot of videos today, no subscribers yet, hoping to get some by the end of the next week. Thanks for the information, very useful, so had already messed up!
Wow, this is great, thanks, man. I have two channels one for business and one for fun and this channel is not doing well, I will use your advice to apply to the channel, will see how it will go. Sorry, English is now very good, but I hope you got it.
Super helpful stuff! Thanks Derral! I am a very novice youtuber and am still trying to get my head around a lot of the stuff you said. Do you have any videos on making playlists? Thanks.
A seminar like this is great, it really gives you time to show and share your vast amount of knowledge on youtube and audience growth. I loved it personally, watched the entire thing haha. Now for the difficult part, retaining and applying all of this knowledge to our own channels!
Hey Derral, thanks so much, love your videos ! I have a question, when you say "what you do straight after the peak is what's important" can you be more specific? If I am putting out the best quality I can every day, if I then have a peak what can I do ? Should I have a special video stored up in case this happens ? Or go on a social media offensive ? Many thanks
Outstanding description and easy to follow. I've seen several of your videos and am working on gearing up to start my own channel soon. It'll be with cheaper equipment for now but it looks decent on screen. I'm an inactive duty Marine and am going along the lines of outdoor knowhow and crafts, that I haven't found anywhere but know about and have cheap easy shortcuts to make it fun and easy for even the novice. I know you're tremendously busy, so I don't expect a reply. I just wanted to thank you so much for all the great ideas and advice. Not to mention a new purpose in a hobby that may or may not make a little money in the future. If nothing else, I'm having double the fun doing things I and my two little girs enjoy and will be able to use for the rest of our lives. Best of luck to you in the future and thanks again. Joseph S. Sylvester USMC 3RPV
I'm now 24 minutes into the video. Will there be actual recommendations how to get these spikes, or will it continue to explain that watch times settles on a new, higher baseline after a spike?
Hi Darrel, does it make a difference what you pick as your channel type,? l switched from auto to entertainment about 5 months ago and see a big difference but not sure if that is what had an affect. thanks and thanks for posting this.
still learning. just got started. i have about 40 evergreen topic vids. a few dozen more to go. views increasing, but subs are not. thoughts? good content ( heart attack and stroke prevention)
Thank's for this Derral soooo helpful. What do you recommend a channel that is more a niche do? Mine is based around guitar and I ust had a 2 videos jump. My base line has doubled.
Did anyone hear a squeaking sound throughout the video?
Yeah drove me metal!
Daitomodachi I did too, but it quit about mid video. at first I thought it was sound effects, lol!
Yes I did.
No. My laptop can't fit a mouse in it. :)
Daitomodachi yes i did
I don't honestly know how, but I've managed to acquire 20K subs and 50K followers on Instagram in my first month, just making simple videos.
Thanks, Derral for being the person to convince me to upload more consistently!
Watch It Melt That is incredible. Nice job.
I'm so jealous
Watch It Melt holy cow!! imagine what you'll get in a year
lol the THERRES me who got 1k in a year
Also, I just have to say it's insane how huge of a platform RUclips is. Derral throws around millions of watch time minutes in this video, but if you do the simple math, 1 million watch time minutes is just about 2 solid YEARS of time. That's amazing.
Its like a good baseball batter. You practice, examine the pitches, and keep swinging for singles, doubles, triples. You don't go for the homerun but every once in awhile you hit that sweet spot and you knock it out. RUclips is the same way. You keep swinging and eventually you connect. Never stop swinging creators.
RubberWilbur Great analogy. ❤️
My watch time has TRIPLED in the last 28 days and I do believe this is correct. Things really take off when watch time is high.
Thank you for sharing! I've learnt a lot from this video 🙏
These seminars are awesome Derral! You're the man!
This was an amazing experience, thank you hosting this event and for your support. I learned so much! I recommend everyone go to Vidsummit if you really want to learn how to grow your channel. Vidcon is for the fans, Vidsummit is for the creators that are serious about this brand.
+Dear Gamer well said!!!!
Is there any Vidsummit options for outside the USA?
I went this year had an awesome time I’m gonna go next year for sure
Had a great time learning awesome stuff at VidSummit! tons of info! Thanks again Derral
What is that duck-like quacking in the background?
lol i heard it...paused the video..scrolled down to see if anyone else was hearing what I was!!! i hope it doesnt go on the whole video...but if it does then oh well! im determined enough to listen thru it it and block it out haha! great webinar so far

I don't know but did pause to see if it was the video or something else on my computer ;)
i turned the volume down to check my speakers lol

Great talk Derral, really wish we could have made it this year. This is much more my level of discussion versus VidCon. It's in my calendar for next year.
#AskDerral Is there a way to tell session time of the people I bring to RUclips? I often embed my videos on other sites, should I not be doing that? I often get people to come to RUclips by watching my reviews in the first place, but I never realized that I should stop sending them to my website to see my written reviews and giveaways after. :/
Also, thanks so much for this video. I have learned a lot. Looking at my analytics, I see those spikes happen and then a higher baseline after a couple. Of course my format is not ideal for watch time , so that's a bit of a bummer. I will need to try to put out more reviews or figure something out in between to compensate for practically all my videos all being less than 5 minutes.
Session time is really Audience Retention, in your analytics. this is one of the stats he mentioned that youtube pays a bit of attention to. Audience Retention is important in getting people to watch more of your video, hence, more minutes of watch time.
Robert Mertens No, he said session time is the entire time that the person is on RUclips after watching your video. Like say a person comes to watch my video; I want to know how long they stick around after watching stuff, or if they just leave after mine sort of thing.
I get that, now, after watching a second time. I was also wondering if there's a way to know if the session began with your video or someone else's, and you can get sort of an idea by looking at traffic sources. Most of mine is from Suggested Videos, but a strong source is RUclips Search, which says it could have started with my video. Some of mine also come from external sources, which could have been google search. Yahoo search, Facebook, Google+ and more, which means the session begins with your video. And then, did the session end with your video, because at the end of mine, I suggest visiting my website, which I'm not sure is a very strategic move, except that I post and organize all of my videos on it. Unfortunately, I see that less than 1% (3.8% of 12%) of traffic comes from my own website, so it may not be a good idea to suggest, as he says, leaving the session. Apparently, however, either there isn't much traffic to my website, or there isn't much traffic back. But I do that on all of my videos. Now that I see this, I may have to stop doing that - it may be killing my channel. I could also look over my website analytics to see where traffic is coming from or going to. There's quite a bit you can glean from this.
Azralynn i subbed sub me back
This may have been one of the first videos I saw of Derral's or at the very least it was one of the ones that got me subscribing way back when.
I dont trust you since you have only 300 k subs
hahaha.. I don't think you know what I do for my work... :) 8 Gold Play Buttons... soon to be 9 next month!
Derral he needs to watch some more videos of yours. Sometimes when you change profiles in the top right corner we can see who you manage. Lets just say its a very impressive list of people, companies, and groups. Im impressed and thats why Derral Eves is our go to for youtube info.
yeah.then go listen to the cat video channel about growing your audience instead of the man on stage at a video creators conference
Great info as always. My channel problem is watch time since my videos are animated ads that run between 20-60 seconds. I've now implemented sending peeps to playlists instead of single videos and am switching from annotations to end screens so the videos are now mobile friendly. I'm a big fan, keep up the good work!
Thanks!
I'm on 21:51...how much u wanna bet the traffic source nobody talks about is reddit
I watched the whole video! So much information! I will probably start with the longer videos. I already do daily videos! Thank you Derral!
I had to come over and share I am so excited that my watch time has finally started to lift off the ground! I am starting to see it grow upward and I am excited to see how my first vlog performs this week!
Hello Aimee. I really like your RUclips Channel and I wanted you to know that I've subscribed to it. :) I'd really appreciate it if you sub me back.. Thanks in advance and I look forward to watching more videos from you in the future. Tim ;)
Thanks so much! Im a newbie here and really sponging up all ideas on how to grow :)
Thanks for sharing this Derral. Very interesting about the baseline jumps. I have noticed this several times on my channel and it's been linked to very similar similar type of content each time (landscape photography vlogs).
Thanks for posting this Derral
Derral - great video! Lots of excellent information to process and put into practice :)
Question - at 40:00 minutes you talk about proper placement of ads in videos. Could you explain this concept a bit more in depth?
I'm so excited for this presentation! Thanks for putting it together! Watching now.
I'm floored by the amount of stuff I learn from every one of your videos! The problem I'm facing is how to incorporate everything into my channel. We're geared towards getting veterans and youth on some fun hunting and fishing adventurers, but there's a LOT of similar channels out there. How do you stand out in a situation like that?
Great video Derral, Thanks for helping all of us so much
This talk was amazing, ive learnt so much. My channel is actually doing the spike and then levelling up I just didn't realise why but I've figured it out now and have plans to get more growth spikes and I have a good three month plan. So thank you!
You're welcome!
Great video Derral, thank you so much for Sharing! Hope to get my channel reviewed soon by you
Great video thanks
Thanks derrel. Your videos are always helpful.
Just started this channel and poured on it a lot of videos today, no subscribers yet, hoping to get some by the end of the next week. Thanks for the information, very useful, so had already messed up!
Fantastic advice Derral, thank you!
How do you block certain advertisers that you don't consider family friendly?
Wow, this is great, thanks, man. I have two channels one for business and one for fun and this channel is not doing well, I will use your advice to apply to the channel, will see how it will go. Sorry, English is now very good, but I hope you got it.
Super helpful stuff! Thanks Derral! I am a very novice youtuber and am still trying to get my head around a lot of the stuff you said. Do you have any videos on making playlists? Thanks.

Thanks Derral! Great video!
Thanks Derral! Appreciate the info shared.
A seminar like this is great, it really gives you time to show and share your vast amount of knowledge on youtube and audience growth. I loved it personally, watched the entire thing haha. Now for the difficult part, retaining and applying all of this knowledge to our own channels!
Might need to watch it a few times and take notes! :)
I love hearing this dude's points, makes alot of good ones. He really inspired me to start my comedy channel!
You're such a talented guy, it's incredible, keep up the good work!
Appreciate you helping out the big and small channels! Some really great "Aha" moments and notes taken during this!
Hey Derral, thanks so much, love your videos ! I have a question, when you say "what you do straight after the peak is what's important" can you be more specific? If I am putting out the best quality I can every day, if I then have a peak what can I do ? Should I have a special video stored up in case this happens ? Or go on a social media offensive ? Many thanks
Hi Derral ! You are helping me BIGTIME!
Rockstar video Derral!!! I learned a lot!
Outstanding description and easy to follow. I've seen several of your videos and am working on gearing up to start my own channel soon. It'll be with cheaper equipment for now but it looks decent on screen. I'm an inactive duty Marine and am going along the lines of outdoor knowhow and crafts, that I haven't found anywhere but know about and have cheap easy shortcuts to make it fun and easy for even the novice. I know you're tremendously busy, so I don't expect a reply. I just wanted to thank you so much for all the great ideas and advice. Not to mention a new purpose in a hobby that may or may not make a little money in the future. If nothing else, I'm having double the fun doing things I and my two little girs enjoy and will be able to use for the rest of our lives.
Best of luck to you in the future and thanks again.

I like the video Derral. Watch time is where I am killing it. It helps having 10 hour videos. haha. Keep the good videos coming.
Great video Derral. Lots of good information.
This was so incredibly useful! I really feel like I can use this information to help grow my channel, and I took so many notes! Thank you so much!
You are so awesome, Derral
Thanks for this Man. I'll be keeping an eye out on this channel :)
Amazing video! Lot to learn from it.
I'm now 24 minutes into the video. Will there be actual recommendations how to get these spikes, or will it continue to explain that watch times settles on a new, higher baseline after a spike?
Thanks for this video brotha - means the world
I have just started my channel just a week ago can you give me some tips.....
Awesome video (as all your videos always are) but I learnt even more from this one, thanks so much :)
Hi Darrel, does it make a difference what you pick as your channel type,? l switched from auto to entertainment about 5 months ago and see a big difference but not sure if that is what had an affect. thanks and thanks for posting this.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. So insightful. Literally watched until the very end.
amazing content, please more of this stuff!
still learning. just got started. i have about 40 evergreen topic vids. a few dozen more to go. views increasing, but subs are not. thoughts? good content ( heart attack and stroke prevention)
Really helpful content! The quacking noise drove me nuts!
i'm seeing several days of binge watching from this channel. so much too learn! thanks +derral eves for sharing your knowledge! :)
Thank's for this Derral soooo helpful. What do you recommend a channel that is more a niche do? Mine is based around guitar and I ust had a 2 videos jump. My base line has doubled.
