Get all the visual assets you need for your videos at http://www.storyblocks.com/katie 🎬 It’s finally time I exposure my vlog editing process! I’m going to show you my personal workflow for editing vlogs that your audience will actually click on, and then once they’re watching, they will watch to the end. Because high click-through rate, high average view duration are the formula for your videos getting recommended in the algorithm, and your YouTube channel growing. And a lot of that comes down to your edit.
