Low AVG on YouTube Shorts? Try This Cheat Code!

Michele Ponte, 14/12/202416/12/2024

If your YouTube Shorts have a low average view duration (AVG), here’s a quick tip:

💡 Use a split screen! Even a simple, low-effort split screen (like this one I just made) can grab and keep attention effectively.

✅ Use it strategically, especially when you need a boost in views.

Sometimes, a little creativity is all you need to stand out!

⚠️ A word of caution:

Don’t overuse it. The “split-screen trick” is like salt in a meal: it enhances flavor in moderation but ruins the dish if overdone.

Overusing it can frustrate viewers who feel forced to rewatch because they couldn’t focus on captions or didn’t know where to look.

What’s your go-to trick for keeping viewers engaged?
