What is "Shares"?
The Shares metric on YouTube measures the number of times a video has been shared on other platforms such as social media, email or messaging apps. This metric indicates how many people found the content interesting enough to share with their own followers or friends. A high number of shares can increase the reach and audience engagement of a video, leading to more views and potentially driving traffic to a channel or website. It also suggests that the video resonated with viewers and can offer insight into what type of content works well for a particular audience.
Example: A YouTube video about a new product launch gets shared extensively on social media, resulting in a higher number of Shares metric and ultimately increasing brand awareness and potentially driving sales.
