The Simple Art of Blowing Up on YouTube

[GeoffreyJamesKing]

I have been in the YouTube game for 3 years now and this video honestly just laid everything out perfectly. I’m excited to see what your channel’s future holds!

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my YouTube channel 9 months ago about self development. Now I have 1, 528 subs and > 1, 000 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

You’re crushing it with this channel man! I agree with so much of what you said here - my best videos have lower CTRs than someone would think because they reach a broader audience

[DetroitNinja]

I gained 13.5K subs in 3 days.. 2 short videos went viral after posting them about 30-45 days ago. On a normal day, I gain about 1000 subs every 3 days. I recommend doing Youtube shorts to up your sub count real fast.

I watch so many of these type of strategy videos and this is the first one I agree with. I started YT with a back log of 200 videos from TikTok and because I posted 3-5 a day gained 1k in a week and 40k in 6 weeks. I post pov comedy style videos and gear it toward trends. While it’s great for growth, it doesn’t pay well unless you get millions consistently.

Start your own niche so that you might not face problems and it will be easy for people to follow you because you are the only one who is that niche

I noticed YT isn’t even recommending any of my videos or shorts. This is true even when they are getting clicked on and get views. For example, two shorts I recently posted they recommended for just the first hour (hour at most) and then stopped completely. One has about 1/3 of people that see it watching it and the other is over 50%. So it’s not click through rate, but for some reason YT just isn’t recommending me.

I’ve grown my channels slow and fast in the last 7 years! I will say the more YouTube videos you put out you end up growing Quicker REGARDLESS because you have obtained better skills along the way and make better content

[ElieHaykal]

As someone who just started with my gaming channel, this video was such an eye-opener and a treasure trove of wisdom.
My first video took me over 100 hours of work distributed between learning video editing, scripting, voice over, youtube research..etc The journey was super fun and I have lots more in the pipeline.
Thanks again for creating this video and keep up the great work 👍
Edit: forgot to mention that deserves a sub :)

Really good content. As a small content creator on Youtube, I know how hard it is to gain traction and attention from the beginning. Like many of you guys, I was tired of creating quality content almost every day and getting only a few hundred views on my best days. After that, I tried using some tools to ramp up my social presence, and honestly I don't regret it. Consistency, hard work (and a little bit of Famester) always pays off at the end.

[Dylmark]

I’ve had good success the past 2 months since I become consistent, gained about 35% of my subscribers in this 2 months

This is my dream and always has been, I’m gonna get that silver play button

The niche thing is interesting; and of general applicability. I remember once seeing a video about someone who indexed books. She was really struggling. There are a lot of indexers out there. So someone suggested, as she liked cooking, she should change her entry in the relevant directories to say she only indexed cookbooks. She was worried that that would hit her even more as she was eliminating 99% of the potential work. Of course what actually happened was everyone who wrote a cookbook saw her entry and asked her to do the indexing, and that gave her more work than she could handle.

I don’t really care how long it takes, as of writing this I’m still learning the ropes of basic editing as I finally managed to acquire Final Cut Pro (knowing a handful of basics now I don’t get how I managed to use iMovie for years) I only upload every other week, once I know how to do it faster I’ll switch over to a weekly schedule, and with the current schedule I’m happy to say I have content planed out and in the works that will last till New Year’s Eve. In the past month the growth of my channel has proven to be strong as before I was gaining 20-30~ a month whereas just recently I managed to pull 100 subscribers in a month, or 3-4 a day on average. It’s different for everyone but now that I have had my first spike I’m very excited to see where this will go

[heathersartworksash]

As an artist.. thank you, hope this helps my art channel ❤

[BlockyDuck]

Great video I’m surprised you don’t have over 100k subs. I was really intrigued by your ctr section bc my LEGO Fortnite videos have low ctr but they are blowing up my channel.

[betterpixs]

Hoping to see some growth now. Thanks!!!

[Pl-ghtx]

bro this is $10000 worth of knowledge let me tell you

[AndrewMycol]

There's honestly alot I just learned about Youtube in this one video that I really haven't heard too much of before!

[Bottleneckreacts]

I am going for this what an awesome vid dude. Appreciate it greatly.

[AloneRacecar]

Now let’s say that one doesn’t really want to go viral, does that mean that creator is a failure on YouTube? I mean it already feels like the expectations are already high enough.
