Youtube Success for Smaller Channels

I've been working on how to have my videos and channel noticed as a small YouTuber - and in this video I'll go over a few YoutTube success tips I wish I had known right from the beginning. There are plenty of things you can do to increase watch time and to have your videos appear more often in search results and recommendations. With hundreds of hours of video posted to YouTube every minute, you'll need to work every small advantage to get your video noticed by the audience.

Here are the tips, and I'll time index them in the "pinned" comment:
1) Fix Your Audio
2) Get in Front of the Camera
3) Give Viewers Something (else) to Look At
4) Get Your Ego Out of the Way
5) Add Captions
6) Stay in Your Zone of Expertise
7) Custom Your Thumbnails
8) Make Your Videos Searchable
