Frequently asked questions

Why start with a 15-second hook?

YouTube analytics show that 20–30% of viewers leave within the first 15 seconds. A strong hook — a surprising statement, question, or preview of the payoff — is critical for retention.

What is the B-roll reminder segment?

The 1-minute B-roll segment is your cue to film supplementary footage (close-ups, screen recordings, location shots) that makes your video visually engaging during editing.

What is the ideal YouTube video length?

For most creators, 8–12 minutes is the sweet spot. This timer targets ~10 minutes — long enough for the algorithm to serve mid-roll ads but short enough to maintain retention.
