I Spend One Hour Weekly On YouTube
Here are my thoughts on it
I’ve been on a mission in July 2024 — dedicating one hour every week to boosting my YouTube watch hours.
I made it into a vlogging style and it’s been quite the journey.
So, here I am sharing some nuggets of wisdom I’ve picked up along the way.
✨ Consistency is king
I’ve learned that posting regularly is crucial, but it doesn’t mean chaining yourself to your desk. Even a short, weekly video can work wonders for your watch time.
Other than posting my weekly YouTube hours on Shorts, I started consistently posting other short-form videos as well — be it a repurpose from my long-form videos or Reels/TikTok.
The result?
This is the first time I am seeing double digits and more for my Shorts because, in Singapore, Shorts is relatively quite new.
And 2 of my YouTube hour vlogs made it to the top Shorts in the last 28 days!
Yes, while Shorts might not directly contribute to watch hours, Shorts can drive traffic to your longer content.
