Summarize the following:
Create your video, then go into an editor and remove the long pauses, and other distractions in the video. If the video paces faster, people will continue to watch. Try to have the same lighting while recording your video and keep the same distance from the camera to make the video cuts blend together better. A good audio track can spruce up the video and disguise any audio problems you may have had. YouTube just released an audio library you can choose from at  If you want to monetize your videos then avoid using copyrighted music and stick to public domain music or the YouTube library. This includes an email address, website, twitter handle and more. Some people may not be watching this video on YouTube. You want them to know who you are in those cases. Text can also keep or direct attention on-screen. Use it to your advantage.  Including a link to your channel and other videos in the description can help you get more views. If you want to include links that look a bit too long you can use a link shortener like goo.gl which will make them much easier to read. Put something at the end of your videos to point where they can find you. Add some bloopers or extra footage. People love to see the extras at the end and your watch time might increase. Alternatively you could have a second separate video that contains the bloopers. You can mention and link that video at the end, this way if someone watched it then you will have 2 separate video views from the same viewer. People who watch more of your videos are also more likely to subscribe to your channel.

Summary:
Take out white space. Add music to your Video. Include text information. Create credits and bloopers.
