Importance of good beginning and ending in videos.

Importance of good beginning in videos

After creating a fantastic thumbnail and attracting new viewers to watch your videos it is important to capture their attention from the beginning and make them want to watch the rest of the video. The first few seconds of the video will determine whether they will stick around to watch the rest of the video or lose interest and leave to watch other suggestions. Most people skip videos if they’re not engaged in the first few seconds. Hence, just like you have to focus on the thumbnail to capture their attention, you also need to have some sort of strategy depending on the type of content you create to make it interesting from the beginning. 

It is a lot easier for some content creators to create an interesting beginning depending on the type of content they create, but unfortunately how you make the first part interesting will vary on the type of channel you have. One thing you can do to get an idea is to look at other successful YouTubers in similar fields and see how they have been able to keep their videos interesting from the beginning and apply their technique. Sometimes depending on your field you may also be able to go to other fields and apply their technique and in some cases it may even work better for you than what others in your field usually do. So, you might have to experiment with different styles initially until you find what truly works for you.

Importance of good endings in videos 

A good ending to your YouTube video will leave the viewers with a good impression and make them want to watch more of your videos and maybe even subscribe. If they are left with a good impression they’re also more likely to click on the outro page and watch more videos you have there or follow your social media pages to see more of what you do. They’re also more likely to come back and watch more of your videos, as the last feeling they got from watching that video will be associated with your channel.
