What are the general characteristics of successful YouTube videos?
To find an answer, we have experimented with different approaches for the past few years; some worked, some not so much. Therefore, my business partner, who is my wife as well, and I have complied a list of things that worked. We titled it as “Characteristic of a Successful YouTube Video”. What would you add to this list?
