YouTube Report
Hello.
Welcome! This page was made with the aim of providing easy to find downloads for the YouTube Analysis of 501 videos. Here, you'll find a video guide, data highlights and everything you might want to download from the report.
Recommendations
Timing
Have a shorter video with less time commitment to lead into your longer videos, like a sample. This will initially decrease the barrier to entry, but if multiple videos are watched, it will increase sunk cost and mere exposure effect meaning people will like Codie more. For examples see page 12.
Combine Guests
For your podcast, have a group. No one is doing this in the business space. An example would be an episode with Chris Williamson, Mel Robbins, and Brett Cooper.
Series
Have a repeatable series based on your most popular videos. This is because the brain already associates the format with reward, people will be more likely to click on it. If a similar video is watched enough times a new neuropathway will form where people will associate the title and thumbnail branding with a positive reward.
Emotional Analysis
A video with 5 of Codie’s top-performing videos (Click here) was compared against a video of top-performing business videos (Click here) for emotional analysis. Codie’s top videos had the same top 5 POS (interest, amusement, warmth surprise, inspiration) emotions and top two NEG emotions (boredom, confusion) as other top-performing business videos.
Data Highlights
Here are the highlights for videos specifically in the business category. For information on these averages for overall videos, videos removing outliers in the set, and channel outliers, see page 12 of the report.
