Using video "clips" to your advantage.
Today I've committed to starting a two week trial to see how effective video clips are by releasing 1 at 11 am and one at 8 pm (9 hours between each clip). The clips I'm starting with are from videos that have higher views or considered evergreen videos. This was done by comparing lifetime and 28 day stats. My objective is to see if the clips will drive traffic to full length videos with an end screen and pinned comment (I found out that you cannot put an end screen if the clip is less than 25 secs long). The clips are more appealing to me versus a short because I get watch time from the clips, as I am not monetized. What are your observations and thoughts using clips?

I didn’t know shorts were not included in watch hours, thanks for the info. I find shorts harder to produce than long form so they are not part of my strategy.
My Channel
Hi! I am Carol from Florida, US. I am rebranding my channel to better focus my niche and content pillars. My focus is helping midlife women pivot their careers and navigate life transitions by creating their future self through mindset shifts and building practices, routines, and systems that make sustainable change possible. I'm thinking that my channel is a funnel for my community and coaching practice and monetization is not a priority. ☀️

@Lucy Caldicott Thanks for the kind welcome.
YouTube is trialling Direct Messages.
YouTube is running this test in Ireland and Poland at the moment and say this is a highly requested feature. If it goes ahead, people will be able to send clips and chat about them inside the mobile app -like Instagram. It will also scan the messages to ensure community guidelines compliance. Remember they released this in 2017 then scrapped it 2 years later? They haven't revealed what they will name it yet (but what would you name it if you had naming rights???) Can you see yourself using this in a big way?

I can see using it to provide more support to viewers and engagement to potential leads. It could be part of my customer nurture process to ask them what they need or invite them to a special event or 1:1 call. I would use it sparingly, because SPAM. It could be a useful tool to complement my marketing and customer support strategies.
If Your YT Channel Was A Christmas Stocking………
what would you place inside of it and to whom would you give it? Where would you hang it? Let’s see….. I’d put in something sweet, something happy, something different, something to learn, a greeting card and anything else that might fit into it. I would hang it in a spot with a sign that says “Free”. It would need to be a place that draws the most attention from someone who needs some cheer, is curious, appreciative, enjoys pleasant surprises and wants to learn more about the stocking. May your Stockings be filled with all good things that the Christmas season brings. ❤️🎄😍🎄❤️

@Just Krista Beautiful poem. “Leave the stocking in the description and pinned comment” hilarious! This is the right community for me. 😆
