YouTube just shared data on the Most Used INTRO Greetings....

So let me remind you... intro's like THIS are a COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME! 🙅‍♂️

Please don't do intro's! ❌

Get to the point if you REALLY care about your audience! 🙌

If your audience retention graph looks anything like this, you should:

1⃣ REMOVE your intro, always start your video with the main content
2⃣ REMOVE outro monologue, end the video on the last second of content that provides value or entertainment to viewers
Your retention graph doesn't lie. Your viewers don't care about you greeting them, and they don't care to hear you say goodbye either 🤷‍♂️

So stop wasting YOUR time and your VIEWERS time!
You have at best 5-10 seconds to HOOK a viewers attention. If you did a poor job, you will have lost 20-30% of your viewers by this point.

Imagine putting all the effort of writing a great title and having a clickable thumbnail.... only to put those viewers off with an intro? 🤯
But, there are examples of great intro tactics!

@PaddyG96 explains it perfectly in this video

I highly recommend binging Paddy's videos for anyone who wants to learn more about YouTube tactics!
