The hardest part of YouTube isn’t the first 1000 subscribers.
It’s getting 4,000 watch hours
This image shows the consequences of not solving the watch hour problem.
€1k+ lost on AdSense.
But this post isn’t about the money.
It’s about something WAY more important.
Something most creators completely overlook.
You see?
A BIG part of YouTube is MOTIVATION.
Don’t believe me? Ask yourself:
If you were monetized from day one…
And earned even a few dollars with every upload…
REAL money hitting your bank account from Google…
How would that feel?
How much less stress would you have?
How much more enjoyable would creating become?
When I asked myself those same questions…
I realized:
I needed to solve the Watch Hour Problem.
Not just for me.
But for the graveyard of creators who could’ve been GREAT…
But gave up.
Because they never saw results worth staying for.
So…
“OKAY JORDAN… how do I avoid getting 3,000 subscribers but STILL not having 4,000 watch hours?”
I’ve used 2 of the most effective methods.
Let me tell you ONE of them:
👉 Create a Bowerbird Video.
It’s a video that stitches together content you’ve ALREADY made.
A mix of your best moments.
Repurposed into something new.
It can be:
A full guide 👇
A compilation 👇
A loop 👇
Just reorganize what you already have.
Done in 1 day.
And the result?
✅ A solution to the watch hour problem
✅ A video with HIGHER chances of going viral
Why?
Because YouTube LOVES these long-form Bowerbird videos 👇
🔴 Video 1: 8 min long x 40% AVP = 3:12 AVD
🟢 Video 2: 30 min long x 20% AVP = 6:00 AVD
Which video makes YouTube more money?
Exactly.
Video 2.
More watch time.
More mid-roll ad opportunities.
More incentive for YouTube to push it.
So if you want to finally solve the watch hour trap…
Make a Bowerbird video THIS month.
Could be the best decision you make this year.
