What do I mean? Well, I want people to watch my videos for longer than 1-2 minutes or seconds for some of us. To do this DO NOT put anything important at the front of the video. Have the front for your prolog, video introduction (15 seconds of less) and then start. But, depending on how long video you plan, don't give away the good stuff too early.
For instance, I have a lot of tutorial videos or videos where I'm giving information that the person coming is looking for. BUT I am not going to give that info out within the first 25% of the video AT LEAST. This is by design, and when you watch enough video "and pay attention to them in an analytical way," you'll see it's how other channels with good views and subs do it.
Just like everyone else I watch videos that are in my space, niche etc. Not for the learning or even the entertainment because this is the niche where I produce content in so I "should" already know and understand it. I watch to analyze and learn. I look at the layout, video editing style, graphics, animations, do they use whiteboards, PowerPoint, etc. Remember we're not on YouTube for entertainment "unless it is during your unwinding phase or actually is entertainment time" but I have to put in my 8 hours of work first, just like a job "and that's how we have to treat this, except we work for ourselves and getting a check 'or money' depends on our efforts." Bad effort, or no effort at all, means NO MONEY.
