āWant to unlock In-Stream Ads and boost your video earnings? It's all about Watch Time, especially in those critical first moments!
āStop starting with long intros or "Hey guys!" By the time you get to the point, your audience has scrolled past.
āThe Strategy:
āThe 3-Second Hook is NON-NEGOTIABLE: Grab attention IMMEDIATELY. Show the most exciting part, pose a compelling question, or drop a bold statement in the first 3 seconds.
āNo Fluff Before the Value: Get straight to the point. Viewers need to feel like they're getting value within the first 15-30 seconds to stick around for longer.
āThe 1-Minute Milestone: For In-Stream Ads to play, your audience needs to watch your video for at least one minute. Your hook needs to be strong enough to carry them past this crucial mark.
āThe Win: Focus on "Pattern Interrupts" in your editing and scripting. The longer people watch, the more ads they see, and the more you earn. Master the hook, master your monetization!
āWhat's your go-to "hook" to keep viewers watching? Share your secrets!
