David Liu – YouTube Storytelling Beyond Retention

## Better storytelling will grow your channel.

Hi, I’m Dabi, a doctor and YouTuber. these days though, I often spend my time helping YouTubers like yourself grow their channels by making better videos.

The above image is a screenshot of one of many longform videos I’ve worked on. But there’s one crazy thing about it: **this channel only had 18K subs at the time we made this video.**

YouTube growth essentially relies on three things: 1. market supply/demand (niche), 2. packaging (title/thumbnail), and 3. storytelling. And storytelling is, by far, the most complex of those three things.

**I’ve developed a set of storytelling principles that have helped 4-5 videos on different channels get 1M+ views.** My highest collabs so far have 3M+ and 6M+ views respectively on _longform_ content (non-Shorts). And I’ve helped countless other channels get 100K-900K views, regardless of their sub count.

And in this course, I’d like to teach you everything I know about **making your videos explode, thereby increasing the speed of your channel’s growth.**

## This is how to increase your views significantly

Feeling stuck with your channel’s growth? Wanting to explode your views, but not sure how to get there?

The YouTube algorithm uses a metric called _expected watch time per impression_ to determine how many views to give a YouTuber. **The longer people watch your videos, the more views your video will get.** And that’s basically the main reason this course should make a difference to your channel.

## Videos I’ve worked on with 1M+ views

I’ve had the privilege of working with these YouTubers on their videos to help improve their storytelling, and therefore improve their views. Of course, I can’t take credit for everything – these YouTubers are great people and friends in their own right – but storytelling really made a huge difference to their growth.

And storytelling principles can make your videos grow, too.

## Tried-and-tested principles that work for YouTube

This course contains:

1. How to make videos that get promoted by the **YouTube algorithm**
2. How to **craft hooks** that grab people’s attention immediately
3. How to **structure**  **videos for retention**
4. How to make **videos that engage people on differential emotional levels**
5. How to **interpret retention graphs properly** so you can analyse your videos better
6. How to **avoid common retention dips**
7. **Detailed YouTube case studies** with analyses you can’t find anywhere else
8. **Thumbnail design** principles for improved CTR

…and much, much more.
