Full transcript

1. 0:00you can't beat the algorithm but you can
2. 0:03trick it into growing your channel for
3. 0:05you I remember when I first started
4. 0:07YouTube I put a ton of effort in my
5. 0:08channel but it was just stuck even
6. 0:11though I was doing everything right it
7. 0:13made me wonder how is it that some
8. 0:15channels get picked up by the algorithm
9. 0:17While others don't for years I refused
10. 0:21to believe it was just luck so I dug a
11. 0:23little deeper and I noticed some tricks
12. 0:25that smaller creators were doing right
13. 0:27before their channels took off but I
14. 0:29just overlooked it so in this video
15. 0:31we're going to uncover the four simple
16. 0:33tricks that you can do to fast trck the
17. 0:35growth of your channel cuz they can
18. 0:37actually get the algorithm to push your
19. 0:38content and no I'm not going to tell you
20. 0:40to go steal somebody else's video ideas
21. 0:42or their
22. 0:43strategies that can help if done
23. 0:45correctly but no I'm talking about
24. 0:47strategies that directly impact how the
25. 0:49algorithm deals with your channel and
26. 0:51the first thing you want to do is give
27. 0:52signals to the algorithm on what exactly
28. 0:54your channel is about which seems simple
29. 0:57but you'd be surprised how many creators
30. 0:59failed to do this the right way and yes
31. 1:02there is a right way picture this you
32. 1:04start a new channel and you launch your
33. 1:06first video you sit there excited
34. 1:08waiting to see the views come in and
35. 1:10then they don't why well you're new here
36. 1:14the algorithm doesn't know what you're
37. 1:16talking about who to present your video
38. 1:17to or even what your channel is about so
39. 1:20what happens next is there's a 50%
40. 1:22chance that you'll post a second video
41. 1:24and there's a 50% chance that you won't
42. 1:26let's go with the optimistic chance that
43. 1:27you do Post another video again you sit
44. 1:30there waiting for views a few more
45. 1:32trickle in but not really what you're
46. 1:35expecting you're probably devastated
47. 1:38disappointed and the chances of you
48. 1:40making a third video just dropped a
49. 1:42little bit more and they continue to
50. 1:44drop with each frustrating attempt it's
51. 1:47so common by now that it actually has
52. 1:49its own name the first valley of death
53. 1:53or where many Creator dreams go to die
54. 1:56so how can you avoid failing before you
55. 1:58even begin well you can actually
56. 2:00overcome this and it's a trick that one
57. 2:02of the biggest YouTubers recommends to
58. 2:04all his clients it goes something like
59. 2:06this when we launch a channel we launch
60. 2:08it with five videos that is a hard and
61. 2:10fast rule for us so that way people go
62. 2:12on a significant watchtime journey in
63. 2:14the that first week period so that way
64. 2:17it tells YouTube wow this is a great
65. 2:18Channel that's going to get people to
66. 2:19watch and they're going to be really
67. 2:20engaged so immediately you're
68. 2:23jumpstarting the channel from 0 to 100
69. 2:25as opposed to 0o to like 10% 15% then
70. 2:29maybe I get on to that next video that's
71. 2:30Matt pad you may have heard of him The
72. 2:32Mastermind behind the game theorist and
73. 2:34a consultant helping small channels grow
74. 2:36well he knows what he's talking about
75. 2:38and what he's explaining here is one of
76. 2:39the biggest mistakes new creators make
77. 2:41launching with one video or even worse
78. 2:44an empty Channel his solution launch
79. 2:46with five videos and that has at least
80. 2:49two advantages with the algorithm first
81. 2:51uploading five videos at once shows your
82. 2:53audience that you're serious about your
83. 2:54channel it demonstrates that you have a
84. 2:56clear value proposition and a variety of
85. 2:58content to offer this can help build
86. 3:00trust and encourage viewers to subscribe
87. 3:02because now they can see that you're
88. 3:04committed to providing value second and
89. 3:06this is where the algorithm comes in
90. 3:08when you have multiple videos viewers
91. 3:10are more likely to binge watch your
92. 3:12content you can now lead them from one
93. 3:14video to another which is something you
94. 3:16wouldn't have been able to do had you
95. 3:17just launched with one video just by
96. 3:19doing that you've successfully and
97. 3:21significantly boosted your watch time
98. 3:23which tells the algorithm hey this
99. 3:25channel is engaging and keeps people
100. 3:27watching which obviously YouTube loves
101. 3:30to hear and wants more of but this
102. 3:32launching strategy will not matter
103. 3:34without mastering the next trick
104. 3:36strategizing to post five videos is just
105. 3:39the start because you have to make sure
106. 3:41your video topic has potential the video
107. 3:44topic can mean the difference between
108. 3:46100,000 views and 100 views the good
109. 3:49news is there's a way to make sure you
110. 3:51picked a good topic now there are tools
111. 3:52that can help you come up with a great
112. 3:54High View count topic for your YouTube
113. 3:56channel and the best part is they're
114. 3:58totally free so how do you find these
115. 4:00topics easy let's start with a tool that
116. 4:03everyone knows about Google Trends
117. 4:05Google Trends is great for getting a
118. 4:07general sense of what's popular in the
119. 4:09moment you can see what people are
120. 4:10searching and you can identify broad
121. 4:12trends for example if you search True
122. 4:14Crime you might notice that it's a
123. 4:16consistently popular topic with various
124. 4:18spikes in interest this gives a general
125. 4:21idea that true crime content is in
126. 4:23demand however to really hone in on the
127. 4:25specifics and maximize your video's
128. 4:27potential you need something a bit more
129. 4:29powerful that's where vid IQ comes in
130. 4:32let's jump to the tool and see how it
131. 4:33works the keyword inspector gives you a
132. 4:35vid IQ score which combines search
133. 4:37volume and competition to indicate the
134. 4:39potential success of the topic let's say
135. 4:42True Crime True Crime has a high search
136. 4:44volume but also High competition so we
137. 4:47got to dig a Little Deeper refine your
138. 4:48search look for related keywords with
139. 4:50better potential for example true crime
140. 4:53documentaries or true crime stories
141. 4:55check the vid IQ scores for these
142. 4:57variations you might find that true
143. 4:58crime stories has moderate competition
144. 5:01but still has a good search volume
145. 5:03discover new opportunities use the
146. 5:04related keywords to explore more
147. 5:06specific niches you might come across
148. 5:08True Crime Mysteries unsolved which has
149. 5:11a high vid IQ score indicating that it's
150. 5:13a trending topic with less competition
151. 5:15so this way you've not only identified a
152. 5:17popular Trend but also refined it to
153. 5:19find a specific angle that gives you the
154. 5:21best chance for Success this saves you
155. 5:23time and ensures your content will be
156. 5:25discovered and watched by a larger
157. 5:26audience and best of all you just
158. 5:28transformed your guest work into Data
159. 5:31driven strategy and look at the proof
160. 5:33just type in true crime stories unsolved
161. 5:35on YouTube and check out the views
162. 5:37they're in the millions indicating that
163. 5:39this is a topic people click on but
164. 5:41getting people to click is just the
165. 5:43start the hard part is keeping them
166. 5:46watching to the end it's a pretty
167. 5:47straightforward formula the longer you
168. 5:49can hold their attention the higher the
169. 5:51watch time this prompts the YouTube
170. 5:52algorithm to expose your channel to an
171. 5:54ever increasing audience and this is why
172. 5:57you need to use this simple trick way
173. 5:59more more than you think to explode your
174. 6:01retention if you've ever stumbled across
175. 6:03one of dodford videos you'll find that
176. 6:05he's a storytelling genius his
177. 6:07storytelling is seamless it's
178. 6:09captivating and it keeps you till the
179. 6:11end I dug deeper into what he's doing
180. 6:14and I found a Twitter thread of his
181. 6:16where he reveals a secret script writing
182. 6:18hack it's called the three-act structure
183. 6:21and he hints about it over and over so
184. 6:24how can you use this to increase your
185. 6:26watch time follow that framework not
186. 6:28just once but with each new segment
187. 6:31consider adding a hook that Peaks
188. 6:32curiosity a story or example to get your
189. 6:35point across and only give the lesson at
190. 6:38the end and the most important thing is
191. 6:40just to keep doing this over and over
192. 6:42through the whole script so you can keep
193. 6:44catching interest right before the
194. 6:46viewer has a chance to lose it for
195. 6:48example say you're creating a video on
196. 6:50the best way to cook steak have you ever
197. 6:52wondered why your steak doesn't taste
198. 6:54like the restaurants then confront the
199. 6:56problem most people make these common
200. 6:58mistakes use viid descriptions and
201. 7:00personal stories and finally resolve it
202. 7:03here's the fullprof method used by top
203. 7:05chefs using this structure you not only
204. 7:07keep viewers engaged but you make your
205. 7:09content more memorable and impactful now
206. 7:12I call this next trick the lazy way to
207. 7:15grow your YouTube channel really really
208. 7:17fast and I love it because you basically
209. 7:20just let the algorithm do the work for
210. 7:21you remember when we covered how the
211. 7:23algorithm aims to surface the best
212. 7:24content that gratifies the audience well
213. 7:27when you upload a video that blows up or
214. 7:29sees tremendous success that's a clear
215. 7:31indication that that's what your viewers
216. 7:33and subscribers are wanting to watch so
217. 7:36all you got to do is just note that down
218. 7:38and hammer on it what the procreators do
219. 7:41and so should you is something Jenny
220. 7:42Hoyos calls creating buckets once you
221. 7:45find a format that works recreate it
222. 7:47over and over again and that will ensure
223. 7:50that it'll probably work every time
224. 7:52thereby exploding your channel Mr who's
225. 7:54the boss is doing it with his ibought
226. 7:56the most blank Tech series and Ryan try
227. 7:59is doing it with I tried one star series
228. 8:02even Mr Beast is doing it wow look at
229. 8:05the millions of views you too can easily
230. 8:09do this once you pinpoint a specific
231. 8:11video style or format that works for you
232. 8:13and you knock it out of the park just
233. 8:15keep doing it keep churning out videos
234. 8:17within that bucket you got to be careful
235. 8:19though cuz too much of a good thing can
236. 8:22be a bad thing here's Mr be's thought on
237. 8:25that every year we've had formats that
238. 8:27do really well if I kept doing the
239. 8:28formats that were Crush back in 2020 I
240. 8:30wouldn't be where I am now eventually
241. 8:31they would fizzle out I'm a big believer
242. 8:33in like ending on a format while you
243. 8:35know it's not too old have so many viral
244. 8:38great like ideas that I want to bring to
245. 8:40life there is just like so many videos I
246. 8:43want to film and like so many different
247. 8:45ideas that no one else is doing that I
248. 8:46want to bring to the table that it's
249. 8:47like I don't want to do 15 of those
250. 8:50because like those other eight that I
251. 8:53would do I could have done something
252. 8:54more original and creative so yeah
253. 8:55definitely milk that winning format but
254. 8:58you don't want to become overly relying
255. 8:59on it keep experimenting cuz that will
256. 9:01allow you to consistently tap into your
257. 9:03viewers interests while exploring some
258. 9:05other Concepts that might unlock a new
259. 9:08audience speaking of new audiences did
260. 9:10you know there's a way to gain 1,000
261. 9:12Subs super fast no really well there is
262. 9:18check this video out to see what I'm
263. 9:19talking about
