6) Keep Length of Your Videos Short
Don’t post lengthy videos, but try to keep your videos short. This is the golden video rule as most people these days cannot find enough time to stick their eyes on a single video that is super long. The ideal time for a video is between 3-5 minutes. It will also help the youtube search engine to rank your video higher than some videos that are longer.
Nice timing on this article, I was just searching for some YouTube related information! I agree with the video length, anything longer than 5 minutes and you’re losing a LOT of potential viewers.
