Use YouTube Insight to tweak your Channel for your audience.

If you're using a YouTube Channel as a marketing tool for your business or non-profit, then it pays to know who's watching your videos and viewing your Channel. Not only will it give you valuable information about the types of people you could be marketing your services or goods to, but it also gives you an idea of the number of people viewing the Channel over time and the most popular posts. This information can then be used to tweak your Channel to make it more appealing to the people who are viewing it.
