Stop Guessing YouTube | Siarra Stout | Full Battery Media

In this episode of the Full Battery Media Podcast, I sit down with YouTube strategist and consultant Siarra Stout to break down what actually makes videos grow on YouTube, especially when it feels like you are doing everything right and still not getting views.

We talk about the psychology of the click, why you only get a few seconds to confirm the viewer’s choice, and how the thumbnail, title, and opening hook have to work together as one package if you want retention and real watch time. Siarra shares practical YouTube growth strategy, content packaging frameworks, and simple daily habits for studying thumbnails and titles so you stop guessing and start learning what makes people click and stay.

We also get into creator mindset, consistency over perfection, why “viral” is often the result of months of reps, and how to use YouTube analytics like watch time, retention, and outliers to double down on what is working and build a repeatable content strategy that grows a channel over time.
