Why do some YouTubers blow up while others stay stuck?

Most chase views. But views don’t build a channel. Clicks are secondary. Watch time builds a channel. Viral videos aren’t luck—there’s a formula.

In this video, Will Roberts, The Outlaw Filmmaker, reveals 5 genius tricks top YouTubers use to hold attention and boost watch time. Learn how to:

✅ Create a cycle of anticipation and payoff – Every second must pull viewers in.

✅ Use open loops – Ask a question, start a mystery, and leave something unfinished.

✅ Deliver surprises – The best videos don’t just entertain—they shock.

✅ Keep them guessing – Predictable = boring. Add twists to keep viewers engaged.

✅ Turn casual viewers into binge-watchers – Make every video lead to the next.

But watch out! Two mistakes can kill your watch time:

❌ Giving away too much too soon – No buildup = No interest.

❌ Predictable twists – If they see it coming, they won’t stick around.

🚨 Final tip? End every video with a loop that leads into the next one.

Want to turn your channel into a binge-watch machine? Master anticipation, curiosity, and surprise.
