Hi Everyone! I am George Pierce, this post is about getting visitors and viewers to stay. Above is a snapshot of a YT channel of mine that was created as an experiment. The snapshot, however, tells us the secret to getting people to stay which is the basis for making money online, whether it is on YT or by way of a website, a blog, a mailing list, a member site, and so on.
The key number above is WATCH TIME. On a website, it is the equivalent of how long people stay on your site. The longer that people watch our videos or read our content, the better. I know how frustrating that it can be to have people leave as soon as they arrive. I also know how good it feels when you see that visitors are staying on your site, or, as you see above, watching your videos.
I sort of have an advantage with the YT channel above, in that I am using videos that are already made. But part of my online process is to begin with research. It is often called niche research, but what it boils down to, is determining what your viewers or visitors want, BEFORE you start.
So, if you and I can determine what people want FIRST, and then provide them with whatever it is that they want, guess what happens?
YES!!! They stay.
Add to that, what I call 'connecting' with your new visitor or viewer 'immediately' and onsite SEO and you are about to turn your online venture around.
By connecting, I mean letting people know exactly what they will find in your video, on your web page, in your emails, in your training, as a member, and so on. Again, make the connection immediately.
Look at the first sentence of this post! I said HI, I introduced myself, and I let you know exactly what you will find in this post.
When people leave as fast as they arrive, it sends a signal to the search engines that people do not like your content but when people stay longer, it sends a signal to the search engines that people like your content. The search engines are more likely to share your content with more people!
Thank you for reading.
Much success,
George Pierce

Sound guidance and winning ways never date George - this article proves it. When you determine what people want first (market research), and then provide them with whatever it is that they want, then you have a winning formula - in life and business. Your application of the principle to the modern marketing technology of the internet and YT confirms the point. This serves as both a timely reminder of timeless success strategy and an introduction to how to apply it in the online world. Bravo, I thoroughly enjoyed your post.
You have the secret sauce George. I always find your videos, not only informative, but also entertaining as well as your creative use of images. And I also love your bonsues. Because they're valuable and a then we can even use them to make money.
I thank you, Robin. My intention is to help shorten the learning curve, if folks will just stick with this, they will figure it out.
