Marketers and content teams use this data to understand who is watching, identify audience gaps, and align content strategy with actual viewer profiles. YouTube provides demographic data natively through YouTube Studio Analytics, and third-party tools like Social Blade extend this to competitor channel research.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Ca href=\"\u002Fvideo-asset-management\u002F\">Video asset management\u003C\u002Fa> (VAM) is a centralized process for storing, organizing, searching, accessing, and delivering video content.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-2--where-to-find-important-channel-demographics\">Where to find important channel demographics\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will divide this section into two different areas, one to demonstrate finding demographics about your own account and one to find demographics about YouTube as an entire community. First, let’s make sure you know how to find information about your account.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, login to YouTube. In the upper right corner of the screen will be your profile avatar, which is usually your company logo if you’re using a marketing account. Click this picture and from the dropdown menu, select ‘YouTube Studio’. This will bring up your channel dashboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From here, select ‘Analytics’ from the menu on the left side of the screen. This gives you a way to fully navigate different areas of importance concerning your data. Finally, click the ‘audience’ tab at the top of the screen to see your channel audience demographics. Now that you know how to locate your own analytics, let’s make sure you know how to find general YouTube demographics.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-43035\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"639\" height=\"583\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192155\u002Fyoutube-channel-demographics-2.jpg\" alt=\"A magnifying glass studying graphs.\" class=\"wp-image-43035\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192155\u002Fyoutube-channel-demographics-2.jpg 639w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192155\u002Fyoutube-channel-demographics-2-450x411.jpg 450w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Examine different statistical areas for best results.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just as important as knowing your own channel’s statistics is finding demographics of all YouTube channels. This provides valuable insight into other channels, helping you determine how they have found success and in what ways your competition is operating.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luckily for marketers, YouTube is owned by Google, who has created a statistical website designed to show in-depth analysis of audience demographics. The project is called ‘Think Insights’ and can be found on the website \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.thinkwithgoogle.com\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ThinkwithGoogle\u003C\u002Fa>.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To locate the YouTube research on the site, hover the ‘Advertising Channels’ dropdown and select ‘YouTube’.

This is definitely the case when you’re looking at competitor channels. Therefore, you need a tool that allows for the lookup of other channels and their success.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ThinkwithGoogle is a great website for general analysis but it lacks the potential to dive into one single channel extensively. For that, you’ll need a separate tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-43038\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"512\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192155\u002Fyoutube-channel-demographics-3.jpg\" alt=\"A target being hit by a data arrow.\" class=\"wp-image-43038\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192155\u002Fyoutube-channel-demographics-3.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192155\u002Fyoutube-channel-demographics-3-450x288.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192155\u002Fyoutube-channel-demographics-3-768x492.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ensure you’re using the latest tools to guide your process.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where a tool like \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fsocialblade.com\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Social Blade\u003C\u002Fa> works wonders.

It’s easy to be misled by a flimsy use of demographics guided by intuition rather than facts. That’s why some type of structure in place to produce extensive analysis is necessary. Here’s an example of why it’s so helpful for marketing YouTube channels to study demographics.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-43040\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192155\u002Fyoutube-channel-demographics-4.jpg\" alt=\"Workers studying data.\" class=\"wp-image-43040\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192155\u002Fyoutube-channel-demographics-4.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192155\u002Fyoutube-channel-demographics-4-450x338.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192155\u002Fyoutube-channel-demographics-4-768x576.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">There are different, beneficial ways to interpret data.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let’s say a team is creating YouTube videos for their audience, which they deem to be in the age range of 20-35. This number makes a lot of sense based on the demographics they’ve gathered from other sites like a homepage and social media. However, they didn’t do their due diligence, as it turns out the age range of their YouTube followers is much more wide-ranging.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, their marketing campaign flops. This is a reality for a lot of teams building a YouTube channel. Too often we undergo projects based on past demographic history or even myths and intuitions. Using up-to-date tools prevents this and lets us create for our true audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It’s important to trust our demographics tools and continually evaluate trends and other factors involving YouTube.
