Work on channel exposure first to gain credibility. You can do that by uploading often at the time your niche audience is most active. To really get things going and the big views to start rolling in I would suggest posting YouTube shorts of your longer videos and asking for feedback from viewers. Ask your viewers interactive questions during the videos. You can also get some views from sites like Marketing Heaven to speed up the growth, especially at the beginning of your journey. It's important to share your content on Instagram and TikTok. Also, use short and engaging video titles that would intrigue people to click on your video. For video thumbnails, use big bold text. The thumbnail itself should have bright, vibrant colors. Include some key moments from the video in those thumbnails and people will be excited to click on them. And to make good educational animations create graphics, characters, and backgrounds that align with your educational theme. Use some good background music and sound effects. Create quality visuals as they significantly impact viewer retention. Answer from SophisticatedSophh on reddit.com
