Upload 5 videos on a defined topic and study their performance to understand what works for this channel's specific audience. A YouTube channel with 5 videos has enough data to see meaningful patterns: which thumbnails get clicks, which topics hold viewers, and which publishing times produce more impressions. The topic must be specific enough that a viewer can immediately understand what the channel is about from the description alone — 'content about random things' is not a channel; 'weekly tutorials on Blender sculpting for beginners' is.
Proof required
Share your YouTube channel URL with 5 videos published. State your channel's topic in one sentence. Share the click-through rate and average view duration for each of the 5 videos (available in YouTube Studio analytics). Write one sentence on what the data tells you about what works.
What gets checked
- 5 videos published — channel URL accessible with all 5 visible.
- CTR and average view duration for each video are stated (from YouTube Studio, not guessed).
- One-sentence interpretation of what the data shows about what works.
