The Retention Hub

🚀 Learn strategies to keep people watching your videos for longer.

Study the successes and failures of other videos to make yours better, faster.

🧠 See what worked for others… and what didn’t.

Tired of guessing why people clicked away? Want to understand more about audience habits, pacing and storytelling?

The Retention Hub collects dozens of retention graphs and lets you filter by niche, views, retention problem, average view duration (%) and more.

This is the fastest way to supercharge your understanding of video retention to keep people watching you for longer.

"Not only do George's retention analyses serve as fascinating windows into other content niches but they help me understand how I can tell better, more compelling stories." - Justin Moore, Creator Wizard Founder

⚡️ Stop people clicking away.

Find actionable takeaways specific to your niche in seconds.

Each video can be viewed in summary, so you can understand the most important info at a glance.

While there are no “rules” when it comes to YouTube, there are certainly patterns.

The more time you spend learning those patterns, the better chance you have of improving audience retention.

🎥 Avoid the common mistakes

To create videos people want to watch for longer, you need to understand why they click away.

That’s why The Retention Hub mainly features data from small-to-medium sized channels.

By studying the most common mistakes, you can ensure your next video avoids the same traps.

While I often feature comparisons to more successful videos, this is not a collection of flatline, 80% retention graphs.

👁 Create more engaging content.

Every single video comes with a full-length review.

You can expand each graph to see my long-form thoughts on each piece of content, such as:

• What worked.
• What to improve.
• Similar case studies.
• Actionable takeaways.

✍️ Real reviews, zero AI.

Your retention graph represents the opinions of real people.

That’s why each video is watched, re-watched, studied and broken down by a real person - me! 👋

I’ve worked with exciting YouTubers like Ali Abdaal and Mike Shake as a video scriptwriter and my videos have had millions of views - I want to pass on what I’ve learned to you.

Every single video in this database has been meticulously assessed by me, so you get authentic opinions and thoughtful suggestions to improve video retention.

👇 FAQs

Who is The Retention Hub for?

This database is designed for creators who want to improve audience retention on their YouTube videos.

This database is a collection of retention graphs from YouTubers of various sizes and is designed for you to be able to gain knowledge, understanding and inspiration from the successes and failures of other videos.

What happens when I purchase The Retention Hub?

You’ll be given the option to download a short PDF, which features the link to the database and provides instructions on how to access it.

Seeing as The Retention Hub is a live database, I recommend accessing it via the link whenever you want to use it.

You can duplicate it into your own Notion workspace, but new graphs that I add to the database won’t appear there.

Do I need a Notion account to use The Retention Hub?

You do not need a Notion account to use The Retention Hub.

But, if you wish, you can create a free account here.

How can I get my graph featured in The Retention Hub?

You can submit one using this form! Although I receive many submissions so not all will be featured.

Keep in mind, this is a trust-based system seeing as you can’t technically “return” the database.

But if you’re not satisfied with the purchase I’ll absolutely refund you.

Can I share The Retention Hub with other people?

Yes and no.

If you work with more than one person on your YouTube channel or have started to build a team, you can absolutely share this resource with them.

However, you can’t just share the link with anyone. This product is the result of hundreds of hours of work, and I trust my customers not to give it away to other people for free.
