Access Audience Engagement

You are able to get a general idea of the quality of your audience according to YouTube’s Engagement reports. Compared with engagement, the number of audiences seems to be unimportant. If no one is interacting with you, then there is no point in having thousands of audience.

Subscribers

Based on the Subscribers report, you are able to track your subscribers as time goes by. If you find a big loss in the number, it means that something is wrong with your performance.

Likes and Dislikes

Sharing & Comments

By using the button of the Share, you can check how many times your videos were shared by others on their social networks. This metric is interesting and it shows that your audience so liked your video that they want to engage enough to share it on social platforms like Twitter, Facebook, etc. The number of comments is also a good indicator of your audiences’ engagement with you. Keep in mind that you always read the comments carefully to analyze if the feedbacks are negative or positive.

Evaluate Video Watch Behavior

YouTube provides a powerful tool to help you evaluate your performance.
To evaluate your analytics, open Creator Studio and choose Analytics. You can find data related to video watch behavior and your viewers.
