3 Non-Negotiables for YouTube Growth

Growing on YouTube comes down to three non-negotiables that most creators ignore.

First, your thumbnail and title must stop the scroll. Think of them as

a movie poster, not a description. Second, hook viewers in the first five seconds

by creating a gap between what they know and what they want to know. Third,

study your analytics obsessively. Your audience retention graph tells you exactly where you

lose people. Fix those moments in your next video. Consistency matters, but strategic iteration

matters more.
