Pro Tips

1

Likes-to-views ratio is key

A 4-5% like rate (likes / views x 100) is considered healthy on YouTube. This is one of the strongest signals for the recommendation algorithm.

2

Comments matter more than you think

YouTube's algorithm heavily weights comment engagement. Videos with active comment sections get recommended more often.

3

Track over time

Calculate your engagement rate monthly to spot trends. Compare across content types to find what resonates most with your audience.

Common Issues & Solutions

High views with low engagement often means your content is reaching a broad audience but not deeply resonating. Focus on creating content for a specific audience rather than broad appeal.

Ask viewers to like, comment, and subscribe. Respond to comments. Create content that sparks discussion. Use end screens and cards to keep viewers engaged.
