@derraleves
first hahahah
Wonders List congratulations for your achievement! 😉
+Wonders List thanks!!! Keep watching
Handimania thanksss , wow 400k subs *_*
Unfortunately empty number. However we don’t give up. 🙂
Handimania haha yes 🙂
Derral you have 355K but don’t get many views? Why?
Can you come over to my channel and give me some feedback?
*_Keep up the good work and thumbs up!_*
So helpful, I didn’t realize not to create a playlist at the same time as uploading. Thanks for that helpful tip!
Danny’s Aquariums he helps a lot already.
yup agree I always did that when I uploaded a video created a playlist there
No matter how many subs you have, it is almost always new people watching your newer videos. Many times people will watch a video of yours and like it. Then they subscribe, and never watch another video. That is the only thing I have been able to figure out in 5 years.
Derrels videos are informational, as opposed to some kind of entertainment video. These types of videos aren’t going to get the viral-style views that some crazy stunt video would get
*_Derral can you tell me how i can verify my channel (tick next to my channel name)_*
Krp F for what?
A0X Hermbeurg – Block Strike I had a doubt which got clear.
yes I would like to know
You need to have 100,000 I am verified 🙂 i got verified before youtube changed their rules
A video digging in deeper to series playlist would be very helpful.
Does adding an old video to an already existing play list also create an ID/asset?
subtac I could be wrong, but I don’t think it does.
Derral I am not able to play your video, it is saying “something went wrong, tap to retry”
Never mind, its all fine now
Because of you, I started creating playlists 2 years ago. I wish I could find a way to move videos around in a playlist, once it is created. I watch you videos all of the time, but do not always comment. Blessings…MaryEllen
MaryEllen After 60 you can move them in the playlist by going to edit playlist
Thank you very much, I will try it now!!!
I love the playlist they help with organising videos so well.
I was wondering if you could show how to do the livestream without using Google Hangouts where others can partake in the Livestream. I find Google Hangouts quality of video to be quite hazy at times making a HD camera look like you’re recording on the lowest setting, its so frustrating. ~ Karen
The High Priestess if you’re not satisfied with Hangouts, try using Skype. Set up a video call(s) on Skype between all your participants and then use screen capture software (or app if using mobile).
The problem is that the guests reply to the Google link it sounds like a lot of mucking about using Skype and doubling up on a screen capture, how would chat work then? As we interact with those that join us live in the chat room. To use a screen capture wouldn’t it mean more drain on the computer and requiring to upload the session that is screen captured? confused :/ sorry 😀 I use my laptop and guests use theirs or mobiles.
The High Priestess Well both Skype and Hangouts work across platforms, so no issue there. But if your viewers on YouTube are engaging in Youtube chat then you will need to open the chat up in a separate window /display in order for you to view and interact (if using the skype method).
The High Priestess Just start a regular live stream using screen capture software, and not the Hangouts method. That way, your subscribers etc. will get a link to your stream. In that stream youcan broadcast any type of content – in this case it would be a screen-captured Skype conversation / video call. Does that make sense?
The Adventure Biker mmmm not really, Im not what you’d call tech savvy hun, is there a video showing how to do it? Wouldn’t the guests have to have Skype set up on their phone? And it would cost a bit wouldn’t it? Sorry ? if it goes past ABC Im woah steady up ?
I don’t understand the content i.d. problem if you make a playlist at the time of upload. I’ve actually done this many times.
I’m working on my playlists so that content is easy to find on my channel. I have a lot of work left to do. You are the reason I have done as much as I have. 🙂
Tamera Weeks Even I do the same thing , I don’t understand how that can be a problem
+Indian Twin Mom hmm lol
As a Let’s Play Gamer, YouTube play list are incredibly important.
Indeed, especially when they are so underutilized!
I use playlist to organize my content. Making a new playlist every week seems like it would clutter my channel make it less organized.
Well you don’t have to put them all on your channel page. Just make em, set em to automatically update and forget em because they primarily play a role in SEO.
I’m missing something. What does it mean for You Tube when they recognize you create content, as in how it is beneficial for the creator?
Linda Houck It shows you’re an active channel.
Oh okay
But doesn’t loading new content show you’re active?
I’ve been trying this for a while but it seems the playlist often get zero views so I’m like what’s the point. I’m working on promoting them better through cards and end rolls.
Sometimes you get lucky and a playlist will appear at the top of a popular search that doesn’t have much playlist competition yet. One time I even got a boost in views due to someone else’s playlist!
Whenever I’ve uploaded a video, especially if it were part of a series, I’d always put it in a playlist as I hit upload. Would you say if I had have left it for another time to do the playlist bit, that my videos may have got even more traction than they already have?
I do the same thing. For years. How could that option hurt us? Very confusing to get penalized for organizing videos at time of upload.
I’ve done the same thing – upload the video and enter the advanced settings including the playlist in one step. I don’t understand why it makes a difference but I’ll give it a try doing them as two separate steps.
Yeah, I’ve been doing that, too, though sometimes I forget and add them later. either way, I haven’t seen any significant difference leaning one way or the other.
He said it was okay to put it in a playlist upon upload, just not to CREATE a new playlist upon upload. If you’re going to create a new playlist, do it 12 hours or so after you upload the video. He said in a recent seminar that has the new YouTube algorithm to do a new playlist 2-3x a week. If you upload daily then do it every day that you would miss an upload. And add 5 like videos in it that are related(if they’re related in playlist they will come up on suggested search)
Great information. Is it a good or bad thing to include other people’s videos in your play lists?
YouTube really likes when people stay on their site, so if you make a playlist people stay and watch and it’s connected to your channel, YouTube will look favorably on your channel.
I tried the playlist feauture and my views went UP INSTANTLEY! Thank you Derral Eves
Have you still been implementing this strategy?
Derral, why is your name spelled like that? Also, you don’t look like a Darrel. lol
thank you very much for this tip on playlists… had no clue…. you are awesome. getting busy asap to fix this.
Thank you; I am learning
Hi Derral, im being watching a lot of your content lately and realize how wrong my perception (Banner, trailer, playlist, tags, etc.) was, after doing some changes a notice my watching time went up but subs are still kinda low. Trying to build a live gaming focus channel but im kinda stuck, any suggestion what im possible doing wrong? Thank you,
Can you collect views from a playlist containing other people’s videos?
