Hey! Welcome to Daniel's Den where I sit
and have a conversation with you. That is
right, you watching this video right now.
I'm talking to you and this is when I
normally drink coffee but we're not drinking
coffee right now because it's two thirty
in the afternoon and I've already had
four cups today so there is water inside
here to stay hydrated so it's more like
a prop than a coffee cup. You know what
pisses me off
actually, when in movies and TV they have
a coffee cup and there's clearly nothing in
it because they are flailing their arms
around with the cup in it and liquid
will be definitely flying everywhere but
it doesn't. That's just one of my little
pet peeves, kind of pisses me off.
If ever I'm on set and they give me a
prop coffee cup i'm going to ask for
liquid in my cup so it looks more realistic
when I drink. So after that long intro--
Didn't mean for that to happen.
Now for today's episode of Daniels Den I am drawing
inspiration from my YouTube comments.
Now I actually read every single one of my
comments that is left on my video.
I don't get the chance to respond to every
comment i try to respond to as many as
possible but I do read every single
comment that you guys leave. There's
certain comments that are left on my
videos a lot such as- where's Prince
Naveen? or you forgot Prince Naveen that
was honestly the most popular comment
that I've ever got on any video. And what
this video is about is why don't you
have more subscribers or I thought you
had more subscribers, or you deserve
more subscribers or you only have
whatever subscribers?
How's that possible? Why? What? How?
Those are the questions that I normally get,
and I thought today that i would just
kind of talk to you guys about it and
just give you kind of some facts on
youtube because YouTube's a pretty it's
a pretty interesting little platform
like there's a lot of algorithm that
goes into everything and that's going to
be a word that you're going to hear a
lot in this video is algorithm the
YouTube algorithm of how it treats
videos and channels so let's start
answering the question. So the way YouTube
works is that it favors watch time.
Watch time right now in the YouTube
algorithm is huge. It wants, it wants the
viewer to watch as long as possible. So
the retention time on a video, that is
key and also the amount of views and
engagement that a video gets that is
also key within
YouTube algorithm. So with my channel
specifically i have thirty-one thousand
subscribers. I am so grateful to have 31
thousand-plus people click the red
subscribe button to subscribe to my
channel to watch what i have to say or
to watch where i have to put out there
for the world. Like people- 31 thousand
people cared enough to actually
subscribe so that I am so grateful for
and I thank you because if you're
watching us right now you probably
subscribe to this channel so thank you
so much I really appreciate this like
little family that we have here it is
super awesome. So now i have- there's 31 thousand
subscribers here, 31 thousand
that's a lot- that's a lot of people.
When I upload a video
normally- this is where i'm getting into
like the exact numbers now. These are
like real numbers in the analytics on YouTube.
Normally when i upload a video 4%-5.5%
percent of subscribed viewers are
watching the video which isn't really a
lot of views when you really look at it.
Compared to the 31,000 potential views
and then it gets 4-5.5% of views.
So YouTube sees this new
video that I put out and its seeing that
it's not getting a lot of engagement
compared to every other video that's
being posted in my size let's say. So if
it's only getting let's say maybe 1200
views in the first day then it's not
going to be ranking as high in the
algorithm which means that when people
go to search in YouTube just in general
that my video won't be won't be up in
the search results. So less people are
finding my video and less people are
subscribing. This is getting to the
answer of like why I don't have more
subscribers. Just explaining it to you guys.
So what I kind of noticed right now is
that if a smaller channel is growing
exponentially, normally that means that
it's had one or two videos that's kind
of gone let's say viral.
They're getting a big number of views in like a
really short amount of time and that is
bringing more people to that Channel, and
again youtube favors
that kind of that kind of engagement.
So it'll be pushing that channel out to
like everyone's recommended and it'll be
in everyone's feeds. So that goes along
with saying if you've watched someone
else's channel that is similar to my
channel
um you'll normally see on your homepage
like recommended channels or like
recommended themes of types of videos. So
again it's the algorithm that kind of
picks which videos and which channels to kind
of promote. So if my channel let's say
isn't getting the amount of engagement
and views that YouTube thinks is
substantial enough to push out then you
will never see my videos kind of pop up and
if you're not subscribed to me then you
definitely won't see my channel pop-up.
Where as let's say that I was getting more
engagement and more views on the videos
then that actually would pop up in
someone's recommended channel and feed
who isn't subscribe to me. So whatever we
ask you to give the video a thumbs up it
actually does help us out.
So with the like and dislikes and
comments that also helps a video
kind of rank in youtube. So the more
likes and engagement a video has the
higher it does rank. Now the likes and
comments engagement from what i've heard,
it doesn't weigh as high as views and
retention time but that still does play
a factor. So it honestly does mean a lot
when you guys do like the video and
comment on the video that does kind of
help bring up the search results of that
video and in turn more people could
subscribe to this channel and we can
grow this family together. Now another
reason why I guess you could say why
don't have more subscribers or I
deserve more subscribers---
the fact that I deserve more subscribers I
don't know if I deserve more subscribers.
I can't say that I do deserve more
subscribers or I don't deserve more
subscribers that's I guess for you to
kind of make that judgment whoever is
watching this right now, but all I know
is that back and i think was like march
or april I had said that I want to be more
creative with my
videos. And I think I've done a pretty
good job from then till now being a lot
more creative with my videos and
enjoying the content that i make. I
genuinely enjoy the weird kind of
creative little sketches and weird
videos that I come up with. And you guys
seem to like those too.
and when you put so much energy and time
into producing a video, I mean you want
people to see it. When i spend like 15
hours editing a video or 36 hours and
editing a medley or like whatever hours
shooting and doing whatever- you want
people to see your work. You want it to be
viewed. You want it to kind of be
recognized. Now I'm not saying that I'm
entitled to views. I'm not entitled to
actually anything. I'm I'm doing what I
can on my end. I put it out there for the
world and then whatever happens, happens
to it. But it is nice when it does get
more recognition and get more views and
gets acknowledged
I'm not gonna lie that's, that's great, but I'm
not entitled to these views. So it's like
if you want to watch then you can watch.
If you want to share then you can share
the video if you want. And that's another
thing too is that if you can share any of
my videos with anyone that also helps me
out a lot like that that's another great
way that we can grow this channel
together. If you share each one of my
videos with a friend or like share your
favorite video of mine on my channel right now
with a friend that's potentially
another subscriber added to this little
CozFam and then we can just grow from
there and grow as a family. And this is
something that we have to do together.
It's not just you guys doing this or
just me growing the channel. This is
literally a joint effort between you, the
awesome Cozfam viewer, and me, Daniel
Coz JustBeCoz my name is Daniel Coz. Ok--
but no but i truly think that with this
family that we have so far we can take
this channel pretty far and again
its teamwork. Teamwork--- the way to succeed in
life is teamwork. You need to work
together to achieve what you need to achieve.
There's not many things that you
can just do by yourself without the help
of anyone.
It's like almost physically impossible.
There's always teamwork involved in life.
So just like the cast of High School
Musical said we're all in this together
we are literally all in this together
I'm not a dancer
That was kind of a
long-winded answer to those comments and
questions but I hope that I kind of
explained everything to you. Maybe you
learned something new that you didn't know
about YouTube. But I genuinely appreciate
all the support that you guys so far
have given me on this channel and I
appreciate you watching my videos and I
do appreciate you sharing my videos and
I do appreciate you guys liking and
commenting those are all things that can
honestly help us grow this family
together. Like I said, this is a team
effort. This is teamwork that involves us:
me and you will work together and grow
this little family because i really do
think that we can and I'm excited for
what's to come here in the future of
this channel.
