So let's say you uploaded a video and it's CTR isn't doing so well, or it's not ranking in search results like you wanted it to. How long do you wait before making changes to thumbnails, title, description, etc.? Two days, a week, a month?

If it's not doing well in a couple days, I would change it then so that is has potential to do better closer to its upload date but I'm not sure if that's the best way.

Thumbnails, a week or so. Other data - be more cautious as it may cause a dip in views and in your keyword ranking once you make changes.

Yeah, give each video a couple days at least. It takes time for the data to "catch up" to what's really going on. Generally, focus on the next video. Making the next video is almost always a better use of time.

After reading this I truly realize how important checking analytics really is.

After uploading a video to Youtube, it doesnΓÇÖt takes much time if the video is
properly optimized. If my video is not shown in the search results, then I make
the changes after a week. Changes in Title, keywords, descriptions, category, etc.
