I just noticed the other day that YouTube has a search filter for length. There are two options aside from "any length." those are "< 4 min" and "> 20 min." So that's some decent insight into what YouTube thinks is relevant.
Thanks for your input. I'm keeping mine around 6-8 minutes at this point.I think on average 6 to 8 minutes, but if its a well made video and intertaining, or a review of a piece of equipment ill watch the whole video. Just my 2 cents,
Later Y'all
I don't know if I should be posting this in the editing section or general discussion, but my question is "How long should a Motovlog be, to keep the audiences attention?" I imagine that once you have a relationship with the audience they will sit through longer videos, but I think that generally peoples attention span are getting shorter. They want to consume information and entertainment quickly and won't sit through a longer video unless, UNLESS they are really interested in the topic.
So my question is, what have you found from your analytics and feedback from subscribers is the ideal length for a Motovlog. What is the average length of time someone will watch one of your videos? Personally I think around 5 minutes is what most people will watch. As a Motovlogger / content creator I would like 8 minutes or more to say what I want to say etc. Any thoughts?
I work in video professionally, and there is one basic rule. It can always be shorter.
I like watching 5-7min vids, the big-time vloggers can get away with 10-20min vids cuz of the following that they built, but I suppose that goes for all famous youtubers of sorts.
Just watched the Hodgetwins (non-motovloggers) eat fast-food in their car for 20min.....
.... what am I doing with my life, too much internet for today
