We put YouTube’s new Collab feature through a real test and watched first-day impressions jump from 2,800 to 58,000 on a new channel. We dig into analytics, tradeoffs, and how smaller creators can partner smart without changing their format.
• How the Collab feature expands distribution into partner subscriptions and browse
• Why launch timing matters more than retroactive collabs
• What to expect when CTR and AVD dip but total watch time soars
• Practical steps for small-channel collaborations and shared analytics
• When to separate education from entertainment to avoid audience confusion
• Diagnosing big impression drops with traffic sources and seasonality
• Using AI to lift scripts, audio, and ideation without losing your voice
• Positioning in saturated niches and when identity should inform branding
