YouTube success depends on three key metrics: Click-Through Rate (CTR) gets people to click, while Average View Duration (AVD) and Average View Percentage (AVP) keep them watching.The formula is simple, but hard to execute: create a compelling hook to grab attention, build an engaging story with zero dull moments to maintain interest, then deliver a satisfying payoff with an abrupt ending. Every second must be optimized for retention — a video's success depends on how long viewers stay engaged.

Hook, Hold, and Pay Off: The viral video formula

MrBeast videos are 13min long on average and are designed in multiple segments:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">First minute is crucial and it has to match expectations from thumbnail and hook viewers instantly.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Minutes 1-3 transition from hype to execution, showing rapid progression to invest viewers in the story.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Minutes 3-6 need frequent scene changes and simple but exciting content to make viewers fall in love with the story.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Minutes 6+ can include longer explanations since viewers are already invested, but maintain quality and save a strong ending.</li></ul>

Minute by minute formula for engaging videos

The shape of the audience retention graph can tell you which parts of your video are most and least interesting to your viewers:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Flat lines mean viewers are watching that part from start to finish.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Gradual declines mean viewers are losing interest over time.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Spikes appear when more viewers are watching, rewatching or sharing those parts of the video.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Dips mean viewers are abandoning or skipping that part of the video.</li></ul>Your goal is to minimize early dropoff and maintain the most gradual possible slope.

Retention graphs on videos

Sometimes the most valuable brand investments are seemingly illogical. Going far beyond what's necessary — like using a crane to deliver a house when a truck would work — creates memorable moments that stick in people's minds. These "wow factors" might be inefficient from a pure data perspective, but they separate you from competitors and build deeper audience connection. The key is doing things that seem unreasonably ambitious — actions that make people think "only they would do this."

Invest in Wow! moments that define your brand

A-Players are defined by their obsessive drive to learn and deliver results. They are coachable, actively seek feedback, and consistently improve their skills. Unlike B-Players (trainable newcomers) or C-Players (average performers), A-Players are exceptional at their role and deeply believe in the company's mission. They take full ownership of mistakes, don't make excuses, and transform criticism into growth.Companies seeking excellence must exclusively hire and retain A-Players, as mixing in C-Players can poison team culture and performance standards.

Hire only A-Players

Success requires relentless follow-up on every project component. Simply delegating tasks and waiting for completion guarantees failure. Instead, check in daily with everyone involved, demand progress updates, and proactively identify potential issues. When working with contractors, treat their work as your responsibility — their failure is your failure. The key mindset is zero excuses: act as if nothing in the universe can stop your project from succeeding. This means obsessive oversight and refusing to leave any room for error.

Daily checkins are essential for project success

Mistakes are bound to happen to anyone and they're okay as long as you learn from them. Take responsibility when you mess up, without making excuses or trying to save face. Focus on quick solutions rather than defending yourself, and never repeat the same mistake twice.What separates A-Players isn't their absence of mistakes, but their response to them.

Own your mistakes to become an A-player

Promote your employees based on their impact and capability instead of an arbitrary time period they've been at your company.When an employee wants to grow, give them clear paths: handle bigger responsibilities, solve complex problems, and take ownership of risky projects. Create opportunities for them to prove their value through challenging work. Your A-players will stay longer if they know their growth potential is limited only by their drive and ability.

Promote based on drive instead of tenure

Avoid getting trapped in short term, day-to-day work. When you spend days focused only on immediate fires or only on one project, you create a dangerous snowball effect where other projects fall behind and become tomorrow's emergencies.Work on both short and long-term projects every day, even if just for 30 minutes, to keep the momentum alive and prevent future projects from becoming emergencies.

Keep both short and long-term projects moving every day

How to Succeed in MrBeast Production (Leaked PDF)

Performance marketing is marketing that you can measure the performance of. It's used for customer acquisition and it can involve:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Search ads that show up when users type queries relevant to your business (e.g. Google Search)</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Social media ads that show up in social media feeds, interleaved between content posts (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok)</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Affiliate marketing, where other people market your product and you give them a commission on every purchase they generate.</li></ul>

Performance marketing

If you're just starting out with performance marketing, it's faster to work with an ad agency or a consultant because they can quickly set things up and get the ball rolling. This will also help you remain focused on sales, client meetings and other important things.However, bear in mind that agencies often use generic playbooks and don't go deep into data analysis. They might miss key optimization opportunities like ad relevance and conversion tracking. Avoid this by ensuring detailed and frequent performance checks.

Start out with an ad agency

When: Once you reach $50k/mo in ad spend.Hire someone in-house to run and optimize campaigns full-time. They should be a data-driven person that can distinguish between signal and noise. They should understand the objective of your campaigns and what it means for your business such that they will know which campaign metrics are relevant and which matter less.

First hire: Growth Marketing Manager

When: Once your campaigns show a consistent need for new and refreshed creatives.Hire a creative specialist to produce new ideas more rapidly and more aligned with your brand tone. They should have graphic design and video editing skills, good branding sense, and an ability to produce ad copy and creative assets.

Second hire: Creative Specialist

When: Once you start needing more sophisticated analyses and deeper insights for your campaigns and overall marketing efforts.Hire a data scientist with advanced data analysis skills to build custom analytics frameworks. They should support the team with in-depth analytics, manage attribution models, and create reports to support campaign optimizations.

Third hire: Data Scientist

Use a 1% look-alike campaign with a small budget to test a new advertising platform. This will target the top 1% of users that most closely match your current customers based on their behaviors, interests, and demographics.If this campaign works, consider expanding the audience to the 2-4% look-alikes and later to broader audiences. This helps in gradually scaling your campaigns while maintaining relevance.

Test new platforms with look-alike audiences

Contact your Google, Meta or LinkedIn account manager, provide them with a list of your top competitors, and ask them to give you anonymized benchmarks on metrics like CPC, click-through rate, and conversion rate. This will help you understand where you stand relative to your competitors.

Ask your account manager for benchmark metrics

Lenny's Podcast: Product | Growth | Career

The ultimate guide to performance marketing | Timothy Davis (Shopify)

If you're often complaining about your workplace or romantic relationships, there's a high chance that you're not communicating what you want to happen differently. This leads to resentment and it damages your relationships.Instead, you should be honest about your desires and boundaries and ask for what you want. Even if you don't get what you want, you'll maintain your integrity and your relationships will improve over time.

Ask for what you want to avoid resentment

<ol><li class="ql-align-justify">Articulate what you want → Get clear on what you want to happen and why you want it.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Ask for what you want → Don’t expect others to read your mind. Ask clearly and directly, while being open to their response.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Accept the response → Sometimes you won't get what you want. Treat it as an opportunity to get curious, iterate and try again.</li></ol>

How to ask for what you want

View it as a sign that you need to change your approach to get a Yes. Don't under-accept or over-accept it. This means neither treating it as invalid and refusing to learn from it, nor treating it as too valid, to the point where you assume you'll always hear No's in the future.

How to accept a refusal

Ask for what you want to avoid getting caught up in your partner's whims and wishes and ending up frustrated

Why not asking for what you want is holding you back | Kenneth Berger (exec coach, first PM at Slack)

In their early days, Instagram treated all followers the same. This worked great for new users because they could follow and keep up-to-date with many celebrities. But, in 2016, IG noticed many people would leave the app after 7-8 months. This happened because when new users started posting photos of their own nobody would react to them. It felt like posting in an echo chamber.IG fixed it in 2017 by prioritizing posts from friends and ensuring new users connected to a few friends early on. It helped users get reactions from their friends and feel validated, and led to a 2x retention.

Instagram doubled their retention by prioritizing friends

First, determine your baseline level by measuring your HRV at rest for 4-6 weeks. Measure it the same way every day, preferably first thing in the morning because that's the most stable part of your day.After this, compare your HRV to your rolling average and to the same day in the previous weeks:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">If it drops too much, you're in fight-or-flight mode likely due to a lot of stress</li><li class="ql-align-justify">If it rises too much, you're in rest-and-digest mode, but you're experiencing too much recovery due to accumulated stress, overtraining or sickness</li></ul>Either way, if your HRV is outside your baseline levels, you should rest.

How to interpret your HRV at rest stats

Is a higher Heart Rate Variability always better?

Your heart rate is constantly changing to adapt to what you're doing and keep your body in a steady state (homeostasis). As such, your Heart Rate Variability reflects your body's capacity to adapt to physical and psychological changes.In general, a higher HRV indicates better fitness, but too much variation means you're wasting energy. Worse even, too little variation indicates chronic health problems, where the body is struggling to adapt to changes.

A healthy heart is not a metronome

Heart Rate Variability: New Perspectives

If you are under pressure and your Heart Rate Variability is too high, your body goes into fight-or-flight mode and shuts down the brain's frontal lobe, which handles sophisticated thinking. This leads to poor thinking and hence to poor performance.Although this is an unconscious automatic process, you can control it. You have to notice such stressful situations and control your breathing rhythm. You want a smooth rhythmic breath with a fixed ratio of inhale to exhale (e.g. 4sec in, 6sec out). This regulates your HRV, making your brain's frontal lobe work better and helping you think better.

Breathe rhythmically to improve your thinking and performance

Your Heart Rate Variability is the one that affects your performance, not your Heart Rate. You can perform well both with a high HR and a low HR, as long as your HRV is optimal. However, if your HRV gets too high, your heart rate is erratic and your performance suffers.Your HRV depends on the emotional state you're in. Positive emotions such as excitement and contentment have an optimal HRV and thus enhance your performance, whereas negative emotions like anger and apathy have an abnormally high HRV and impair your performance.

Negative emotions impair your performance because their HRV is too high
