Most YouTubers lose viewers at the end—and they don’t even know why. A weak outro kills watch time, drops engagement, and ruins growth. I studied the top 50 YouTubers—they don’t just hook viewers at the start… They keep them watching until the last second.


In this video, Will Roberts, The Outlaw Filmmaker, reveals 4 viral outro strategies that skyrocketed his views. Learn how to:


✅ Spark curiosity in your outro – Never say "Thanks for watching!" Instead, pull them in.

✅ Guide your viewers – Use urgency and a next-step call to action.

✅ Tease the next video – Make it too important to skip.

✅ Ask an irresistible question – Drive engagement and keep viewers interacting.


🚨 But beware! These 2 mistakes KILL engagement:


❌ Boring sign-offs – Never end with “That’s it! See you next time.”

❌ Not leading them forward – Always guide viewers to what’s next.


Final pro tip? Layer curiosity into your outro.


Hook them until the very last second, and they won’t click away.
