As we embrace this blessed month of Ramadan, let's dive into some insights on how to make the most of your YouTube uploads.
This morning, I uploaded a video to test if there were any changes in recommendation distribution, especially with the initial morning traffic. The results were… well, let's just say they weren't extraordinary. The viewership trend actually decreased. It seems that many people are not yet active on YouTube during those early hours. The first five hours after my .30 AM (Western Indonesian Time) upload didn't yield the best results.
This is valuable information for all of us. We can adjust our video upload times, but it’s still best to prioritize the afternoon or evening. Uploading too early, as I did, may not give you the initial traffic boost you're hoping for.
This seems to apply to most content themes, with one notable exception: religious lectures. Those tend to perform well regardless of the upload time, especially during Ramadan.
For those of you aiming to boost your watch time through live streaming, consider shifting your streams to later in the evening. During Ramadan, many people are active late into the night, so you'll likely find a more engaged audience. For regular video uploads, whether they are long-form or Shorts, it seems that the best reception still comes during the afternoon. Based on my analytics data, uploading between .00 PM and 5.00 PM (Western Indonesian Time) is the sweet spot during Ramadan. Videos uploaded at .30 AM struggled to reach even 100 views in the first two to three hours.
I'm sharing this experience with you all so that we can learn from each other. If you want to experiment with uploading videos at .00 PM or 10.00 PM, go for it! For podcasts, horror content, fishing videos, or daily vlogs, uploading at night might still attract viewers. Just aim to upload before 11.00 PM.
Stay motivated, keep creating, and remember that YouTube can still be a reliable source of income for those who consistently upload high-quality content. Stay consistent, and keep creating!
Additional Tips for YouTube Success During Ramadan
Beyond upload times, here are a few more tips to keep in mind as you create content during Ramadan:
Understand Your Audience: Take a close look at your YouTube Analytics to understand when your audience is most active. This data is your best guide for optimizing your upload schedule.
Engage with Your Community: Ramadan is a time for connection. Respond to comments, ask questions, and create content that fosters a sense of community.
Optimize Your Video Titles and Descriptions: Use relevant keywords to help viewers find your videos. A compelling title and a well-written description can significantly impact your click-through rate.
Promote Your Videos: Share your videos on social media and other platforms to reach a wider audience.
Be Patient and Persistent: Building a successful YouTube channel takes time and effort. Don't get discouraged if you don't see results immediately. Keep creating, keep learning, and keep improving.
Consider Ramadan-Specific Content: Think about creating content that is relevant to Ramadan, such as recipes for Iftar, tips for staying healthy during fasting, or reflections on the meaning of the holy month.
Collaborate with Other Creators: Partnering with other YouTubers can help you reach new audiences and grow your channel.
Pay Attention to Trends: Keep an eye on what's popular on YouTube and consider creating content that taps into those trends.
Experiment and Innovate: Don't be afraid to try new things and see what works best for your channel.
Stay True to Yourself: Authenticity is key to building a loyal audience. Create content that reflects your passions and values.
Remember, consistency is key. By consistently uploading high-quality content and engaging with your audience, you can build a successful YouTube channel, even during Ramadan.
Final Thoughts
YouTube is an ever-evolving platform, and what works today might not work tomorrow. By staying informed, experimenting with new strategies, and remaining dedicated to creating great content, you can thrive on YouTube, even during the unique circumstances of Ramadan.
