After your video has been live for 24-48 hours, dive into its analytics in YouTube Studio. Go to the "Reach" tab. Here you will see your video's "Impressions click-through rate." YouTube will often provide context, telling you if this CTR is higher or lower than your channel's average. If a video has a high CTR and high AVD, it's a signal to you, the creator, that you have found a successful format. You should immediately plan your next video in a similar style.
