These questions can help you specify the type of video you should make and where to publish it.
Understanding metrics will help you to determine and quantify your success and set your goals. These
are the popular metrics you can see when posting a video and keeping track. View Count The number of
times we watch a video is called view count. This metric is helpful if your goal is to increase brand
awareness and means that your topic can be seen by as many users as possible. It is very important to
keep in mind that each video hosting platform measures a view differently. View Rate View rate is the
number of people who have played a video divided by the number of impressions it has received. This
metric helps define how relevant or striking your video is to your followers.
Social Sharing and Comments If you use the different social networks you are familiar to sharing and
commenting. Comments and social actions are excellent indicators of the significance of content with its
objective audience. If a user watches your video and uses some of their time to share it, you may have
created a great piece of content. Similarly social networks are important because the more your video is
shared the more times it will be seen. If your goal is to reach a large number of people, sharing of your
videos on social networks is an excellent metric to track. Video Completions Just as you used your time
to make a video, you probably want people to watch it until the very end, right? Video Completions is
the number of times a video is viewed until the end. This metric can be more reliable than the view
count when trying to specify the success of your video.
