Audience Growth

The first 5–15 seconds of your video decide a lot. We’ve seen creators pour their heart into an amazing video only to have 70% of viewers drop off in the first 10 seconds. Not because the content was bad. But because the hook didn’t grab anyone.

You’ve got a channel, you’ve been uploading consistently, your views are looking solid, and the watch time isn’t bad either. But… where are the subscribers?

Still uploading in English and wondering why your growth’s hit a wall? YouTube in 2025 is built for creators who think globally. That means reaching the right people, in the right language, with the right intent.

Wondering where people can buy your music? Or if it even matters where you’re selling it, iTunes, Bandcamp, Beatport… aren’t they all the same? Not even close.

Want to reach a global audience on YouTube? Translation can work wonders for that matter!

If you’re bilingual, you probably know that asking AI to translate Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, or French text often produces something clunky. Want to know why? Because that’s just a translation. However, localization goes a lot deeper. It’s about adapting memes, cultural nuances, humor, acceptable norms… and, yes, slang.

3-minute YouTube Shorts. First, they were promised. Then they were “launched.” Then came a few months of total chaos. No one really knew who had access, when it would work, or even how YouTube was counting views. Our DMs on social media were full of creators asking, “Why can’t I upload 3-minute Shorts?” And to be honest, we didn’t have a clear answer at the time either.

Ever had a random clip from your video blow up on TikTok, Instagram Reels, or even Reddit? Maybe a funny moment, a catchy phrase – suddenly, your content is everywhere, reaching people who’ve never even heard of you. That, my friend, is user-generated content (UGC) in action.

When it comes to expanding your YouTube audience, most creators automatically think of LATAM and European markets. But what about something not that mainstream? There is a huge Indian market out there. Yes, we know the CPM in India isn’t high, however, the results may surprise even seasoned creators.

YouTube is blocked in China, so many creators ignore this market entirely. That means missing out on millions of potential views and revenue. Your videos could make you multiple times more by reaching Chinese platforms.
