Youtube Insights
Here’s some stats from the video, pulled from my youtube insights…
It’s hard to find some accurate solid data on the average number of views youtube videos get and the percentage of videos which get over 500,000 or 1m views but from what i’ve read roughly about 1% of videos get over 500,000 views, so it looks like i’ve joined the 1% club 🙂
You should look into the YouTube partnership program Sean. It allows you to make money off your videos and have cool branding options for your channel that normal youtube users don’t have. Either that or just apply for a IVP for this one video so you can earn some money off of it. Preety cute that one little fella left on his own.
