We bring on VidIQ creator coach David to tackle real listener questions about focus, retention, Shorts vs long-form, finite-channel pivots, and the hidden cost of YouTube’s Promote button. Clear, direct tactics for packaging, topic strategy, and turning views into leads.
• defining a clear channel promise and ideal viewer
• using Shorts as springboards to long-form
• why Shorts views now act like impressions
• pivoting a finished build channel into maintenance and collabs
• retention cues: hooks, expectation match, pacing
• the limits of YouTube ads and “ad prison”
• troubleshooting content for search plus strategy for authority
• giving away expertise while selling time and judgment
