People also miss out the fact there aren't really any chill, feels good minecraft channel like there was 7 years ago. There's two sides, players that have grown and are maybe too chill and not fun anymore, and the much young oriented, screaming and super fast channels. Dream is just a dude having fun with friends, and I think this brandless image of a dude playing with his buds has a part of responsibility in his success.
The Manhunt series he does with his friends is just good content. I enjoy a lot those videos, cuz it fun to see what is the next strategy he will use to troll his friends, it just pure enjoyable content that you can just watch and be amazed.
TH-cam is scary. If you don't capitalize on your growth you can lose what you gained just as fast. Having subscribers on youtube has become way less relevant over the years.
I kind of knew all these factors subconsciously but I never implemented them intentionally. only had a vague feeling of what to do. this video helped me visualize this a lot
Success is just a combination of luck, hard work, and persistence, and when ever you start a channel you building up your work and persistence. The luck comes after... if your lucky.
I see you trying to get those shares, that recognition, i see you hopping on the “get famous on TH-cam quick” scheme, I see you talking about Dream, that’s enough in itself, and I like what I see. I see the typical hype music at 7:29 , I see the lil mark rober type beat right after.... You’re literally just using the same kind of strategy as Clay and I wanna see you grow, ya sly fox 😅 I’ll share your channel around, you’re a smart guy
I think also the fact that Dream doesn't do sponsorships, so u never get that break in tension and engagement that you might if he suddenly stopped and started advertising a product.
@@stephen8805 ya but MrBeast is related with the irl contact and he should show his face or it won't be entertaining, pewdiepie, on the other hand, is a meme reviewer and ik that he does gaming videos but his old audience watches those videos and new people r attracted towards him slowly not as fast a Dream's. Another example is ranboo, who also blew up pretty quick.
The past few days the algorithm has been showing me a lot of “small” channels (50k to 500k subs) and I’ve been loving every channel, learning a lot, if not more than what a bigger channel will show. Subbed! Well done Paddy!
I know this is a 7 month old comment but your right and wrong. He is using big names to make it relevant and recommendable but in reality, he is just making videos about what he learning right now! So he is making money off of his education. It’s like deciding to become a baker and realizing you can also just film the whole process and make money off of it. 🙂
Dream is a genius when it comes to the thumbnail and title. It's storytelling 101. I think with thumbnails if you can understand the video within 3 seconds of looking at it then you have an amazing video. Also Dreams videos is like a minecraft Uncut Gems movie lol. The tension is unreal.
Dream has also said before that when studying TH-cam he didn't just look at Minecraft but studied every topic. His dynamic with his friends also adds to his growing success cause a common theme with the best TH-cam channels is the great friendships between the creators in the videos. People tend to project themselves and their wants into videos and stuff so seeing other people with such real friendships make the videos more enjoyable to watch.
I have accidently performed a "trend jack" on my own channel a few months ago when the manhunt series has just started out actually! I noticed things that Dream and his friend George could improve on in their videos and made a tips for manhunt video, as minecraft on my channel at that time, it did poorly at first, but with time it started picking up speed and is now growing faster and faster! I followed it up with part two a few months later, and not too long ago after watching your video about Mark Rober I used your tips to make a 3rd video as good as possible, and now it's already performing much better than the other 2 and is also growing exponentially! :D I've also kind of intentionally trend jacked when a game called Scrap Mechanic released it's biggest update ever (but my channel has been based on this game since 2017) and it let me grow my channel from a bit over 300 subs to over 800, but then the game died down again so now I am converting my audience to Minecraft as I can make much better videos which can perform OKAY or great and the growth after a temporary stall has continued again and by the looks of things I'll be hitting my first thousands subscribers sometime next week :D Thank you so much for your videos, they really help a lot! :)
I think you forgot to mention all of the exposure he's been getting from his collaboration with MrBeast Gaming. It gained him at least one subscriber. (me)
Dude same. I was thinking that technoblade was like the top minecraft player since I've known about him since mcm and smplive. Then Mr. Beast comes out with the "we are here today with the top minecraft player in the world, dream!" And I was over here like, who? Tf is dream? Lol
@@norwegiannignog2470 Well it sure is helping me grow my channel - and it brings more attention to the individuals that he name drops anyways. So him being a "rat" seems to be helping everyone except you :)
I think another thing that’s interesting about dream is that not only does he have fans, but he has a whole fandom. He trend jacked until he had a fan base that not only likes his content but wants to know more about him. Anyone who is friends with him or in his smp automatically get a massive subscriber/fan base boost, just by including him I. There videos. There is countless memes fan art and generally fan accounts about the dream team that it’s becoming a way of almost free advertising just through fans. I don’t know if this was intentional or he just got lucky but either way, his fan base boosts him and his fiends a lot.
true, I swear the fanbase fulled of talented people. if you search #dreamfanart in IG, there's a ton lots of impressive fanart. Yes there's toxic kid in the community but most of them is actually chill and impressive
He’s at 360k tho? But at the pace he’s going he prolly will be soonish. I do agree it would be a good video but it’s kinda hard to analyze that channel
he got it from spamming in twitter reply sections, that's what he was known for beforehand and his channel blew up when he livestreamed with his voice reveal
This is super informative, I'm going to try my best to put these methods to work and try double my growth on my channel this year. Thanks for sharing Paddy!
Techno doesn’t upload lol. People heard of techno due to his dominance in minecraft tournaments, and they all stayed due to his comedy and skill. He still has a large fan base even tho he literally does not upload lmao
I remember watching this video when it came out and then today when I saw some Minecraft guy trending #1 just for revealing his face over 'Wakanda Forever' trailer(which was #2), it hit me. So I came back here again and it was the same guy!
You must study TH-cam tirelessly for months (or maybe years) before you start it. It requires a lot of hard work and determination. This is my message to those people who think that TH-cam is just a joke and it depends on luck and has nothing to do with hard work.
PewDiePie never studied the TH-cam algorithm neither did other TH-camrs like KSI, Logan Paul, Markiplier and so on Pewds agrees luck is a big part of it he said so himself and I think that counts for a lot considering he has 106 million subscribers, he dominated the TH-cam algorithm many times unintentionally he got 6.5 mil subs in December 2018.
@@gus9351 They both have good points but aren't completely accurate. TH-cam is ruthless to new content creators nowadays and that's why you have to study it however that doesn't mean you can't be successful if you don't have the big brain IQ like Dream. Hard work still pays off but without a plan it takes way longer. I think it's still fine that way because the reason PewDiePie got successful even now is because once you get the big numbers and ad revenue, it all becomes irrelevant. In the end every content creator is just human so if you make videos you enjoy making/would watch it yourself, you'll get that foundation eventually. The fans will stay and watch so long as they keep making videos. That's still success in my book!
Yeah, like does he mean studying "BIG 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999, 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999, 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999, IQ PLAYS ON MINECRAFT" on Reddit because there isn't a subreddit called r/HowToBeatTheTH-camAlgorithm.
This isn't my gaming channel, but I am planning to start trying a gaming thing soon. I've learned about editing, but I don't have any motivation yet. This gives me some hope to try and get myself out there.
Ngl i usually skip videos till the end but the manhunt series felt weird in a way that i wanted to know how he gets his win or lose so his idea of how he makes the video is really working
6:08 watch time, retention, long veiwer watch and long video formula Great Idea 6:53 always to building tention half heart music 7:50 watch to the end 8:30 REPEAT high veiws AND IMPROVE IT
Yeah honestly, I feel like learning from someone I can actually feel a small relationship to Dream. Not having momentum whatsoever but despite all else, I still produce more videos regardless of the views. It can be discouraging for me, yeah but I'm always trying things learning new things meeting interesting people, and even watching interesting people. I think what really keeps my hope going is the fact that regardless of where I land on youtube I'd like to one day make a video where people can enjoy it fairly well and it's a scary world like getting negative and positive comments it just never stopped me from making more. People like Dream really do show inspiration and motivation to not give up if TH-cam is something you're really wanting to take up one day. I think now is pretty much the time for me to start taking those steps in learning and growing.
I think the key to Dream's success is him making people want to like his videos. I was there when it was happening. When he first did 1 vs 3 manhunt, he said in the end that they'll do another one if this one hits 250.000 likes. It did. Then he set up a bar on 300.000 likes for another rematch. And he got it again. But the biggest gamechanger was when he said He'll do another one for 1 MIO likes. It took some time and people were using all accounts they owned on youtube to get the video to the mark because they wanted to get more, and, one thing leads to the other: he hit the mark again. With every manhunt video, he was then just raising the bar higher and higher, but never so high it couldn't be reached. And that was when he absolutely blew up. Since then he is getting almost 1 MIO subs every week. And he's getting 1 MIO likes like it's nothing. Also, his videos are just amazing, so that helps too.
Another key thing would be to not tell people to like or subscribe or anything like that until the end of the video, or, don't say that at all lol I think if people really like your content, they will share and subscribe and like the videos etc. It would be good if people put sponsorships at the end of the video too and give more details about the sponsorship in the video description so if people are interested, they can check the end of the video and check the description rather than having to listen to the sponsorship at the start of the video 😅 I don't know if sponsors tell you to put the mention at the start of the video or if you can choose to put it at any point in the video. I would put it at the end, personally. I got a decent deal with NORD VPN via a Minecraft TH-camr and it was good
Yes, a genius. Not only he had a dream of being a big youtuber but he is dream. Also, I like how his thumbnails are just plan simple thumbnails. No special or excerpt thumbnails either. Heck, the exact same one. Yea, a genius.
6:07 oML this is around the time realisation hit me like to the point where i finished the sentence before you the mc manhunts are the algorithm beater cause they are long (which means better retention) while also keeping the viewer hooked cause of the intensity, meaning they are very likely to watch til the end... thats so freaking smart istg this guys a genius mc content is also easy to create (meaning it doesnt take as long to pump out as stuff like animation) and the editing style is unique. My 7 IQ brain just exploded
This is such a great insight into the gaming niche... but pleaaaase can you analyze the Aviator and especially general aviation niche? This is so hard most of us pilots feel stuck 🥺🥺
Mate, how do you understand when it's time to move from trend-jacking to finding your own high performing series? Like have you worked out / thought of a number of subs or views per video you should get before switching? Thank you
Summary Dream could survive in a very saturated niche. 1. Trend-Jacking: Use key words that indicate trending topics. Make your videos related to those topics. 1-1. Find a topic from other social media and attract them to your TH-cam video that talks about that specific topic. (Multi Media, One Direction) 3. Original Ideas *added to* the trending topics 4. Make videos that are preferred by the Algorithm. 4-1. TH-cam algorithm considers both Retention (% of a video watched by one viewer) and Watch time (# of minutes watched per viewer) Dream achieved both by creating videos as if they are movies. Lots of tension and uncertainty, but satisfaction at the end. 5. Same series with improvement = outdated yet more interesting
Eh, Nord isn’t actually that good as far as reputation goes. Couple times now they’ve had data breaches and just told nobody in hopes it wouldn’t get out. Nah, if you want a good VPN you go with one that has 3rd party auditing for no logs with dedicated servers. I use VyprVPN for that reason, they own all of their own server/network infrastructure and are based in Sweden so there’s no legality stopping them, third party audit, too.

I remember watching this video when it came out and then today when I saw some Minecraft guy trending #1 just for revealing his face over 'Wakanda Forever' trailer(which was #2), it hit me. So I came back here again and it was the same guy!
He's like the Ninja of Minecraft. Nobody knows who he is then he became good at a game now everybody knows him.
it happens to everybody, for example a minecraft youtuber started with 0 subs but when he/she became good at minecraft, he gets more people
@@user-wv8xw9dr2c I learned the algorithm now i will record fun minecraft videos on my second channel and i will get atleast 15k views for sure
Dream really knows how to keep people interested throughout his videos
yes
Paddy, I think you're a genius. I remember this video only had 50,000 views. Check you out! 400k and many more to come. Congrats my dude.
You must study TH-cam tirelessly for months (or maybe years) before you start it. It requires a lot of hard work and determination. This is my message to those people who think that TH-cam is just a joke and it depends on luck and has nothing to do with hard work.
PewDiePie never studied the TH-cam algorithm neither did other TH-camrs like KSI, Logan Paul, Markiplier and so on Pewds agrees luck is a big part of it he said so himself and I think that counts for a lot considering he has 106 million subscribers, he dominated the TH-cam algorithm many times unintentionally he got 6.5 mil subs in December 2018.
@@KentVigilante and your point is?
@@gus9351 They both have good points but aren't completely accurate. TH-cam is ruthless to new content creators nowadays and that's why you have to study it however that doesn't mean you can't be successful if you don't have the big brain IQ like Dream. Hard work still pays off but without a plan it takes way longer. I think it's still fine that way because the reason PewDiePie got successful even now is because once you get the big numbers and ad revenue, it all becomes irrelevant. In the end every content creator is just human so if you make videos you enjoy making/would watch it yourself, you'll get that foundation eventually. The fans will stay and watch so long as they keep making videos. That's still success in my book!
Change the Title to : Why Paddy Galloway should work at TH-cam HQ
Paddy: you can't watch half of the speedrun video.
Me: watches beginning and skips to the end because I have a short attention span.
Lmaooooi
I started watching Dream when he had just reached 1 mil and BOOM suddenly he’s about to get 10 mil rn
Japi Wirl yeah I found him at 900k and didn’t expect him to randomly explode lol
Same here! Wack to think about.
who wants to be my 2nd subscriber?
the fact he literally got 14m a couple of days ago SCARES ME-
Same.
He said he studied reddit. I didn't get what he meant by that...
Yeah, like does he mean studying "BIG 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999, 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999, 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999, IQ PLAYS ON MINECRAFT" on Reddit because there isn't a subreddit called r/HowToBeatTheTH-camAlgorithm.
@@Soosss ik I'm a month late but thanks for actually answering and helping my yt research!
Make a video on how Ray Mak gets top comment in so many videos and that too in so many different types of TH-cam channels.
When we realise that he's actually Trend-jacking and the views are high.
So it really do work..
Dream's sound design is very important to his pacing and viewer retention. He times it perfectly
0:30 dream "Just got Lucky" is a phrase with an even funnier meaning now
dream: yo i got a bunch of subscribers in like 1 year
cark: hold my nostalgia
The difference is that cark actually puts out good content
@@Erik_coolman used to put* the guy just makes minecraft stuff now and isnt nearly as popular
Just started watching his videos in quarantine but now I have seen every single one of them
This isn't my gaming channel, but I am planning to start trying a gaming thing soon. I've learned about editing, but I don't have any motivation yet. This gives me some hope to try and get myself out there.
I love how were talking about a green block man with a smiley face on his body
we all do
I’ve learnt a lot here. Thank you, Paddy.
I will use this strategy and believe I will hit 5K before the end of the year.
Ngl i usually skip videos till the end but the manhunt series felt weird in a way that i wanted to know how he gets his win or lose so his idea of how he makes the video is really working
Just spreading this idea
Anylize Cark next! Did he beat the algorithm? Is he a time traveler? Or is he just a lucky kid? We want to know
I don't personally watch him but I've seen the amount of videos he released and how many subs he has gained. Only 100 vids and 9M subs.
And the views on his videos too like damn
@@librarian4485 Every video goes viral!
It feels like just a few months ago when I was gushing that to my brother...
It worked!
noice
Wait what
I like how he’s literally doing one of his strats
*he even did a speed run to the diamond play button*
6:08 watch time, retention, long veiwer watch and long video formula
Great Idea
6:53 always to building tention
half heart
music
7:50 watch to the end
8:30 REPEAT high veiws AND IMPROVE IT
Yo
The guy who made this is a genius he has a plan to reveal plans of growth to grow
In future, "HOW I AM BEATING THE TH-cam ALGORITHM - PADDY GALLOWAY" 😅
Yeah honestly, I feel like learning from someone I can actually feel a small relationship to Dream. Not having momentum whatsoever but despite all else, I still produce more videos regardless of the views. It can be discouraging for me, yeah but I'm always trying things learning new things meeting interesting people, and even watching interesting people. I think what really keeps my hope going is the fact that regardless of where I land on youtube I'd like to one day make a video where people can enjoy it fairly well and it's a scary world like getting negative and positive comments it just never stopped me from making more. People like Dream really do show inspiration and motivation to not give up if TH-cam is something you're really wanting to take up one day. I think now is pretty much the time for me to start taking those steps in learning and growing.
I guess you could say his “Dreams” came true.
That play you showed from him was 10,000 IQ man!
Only 21 videos and 192,000 Subscribers? That's awesome man. Keep up the good work.
I think the key to Dream's success is him making people want to like his videos. I was there when it was happening. When he first did 1 vs 3 manhunt, he said in the end that they'll do another one if this one hits 250.000 likes. It did. Then he set up a bar on 300.000 likes for another rematch. And he got it again. But the biggest gamechanger was when he said He'll do another one for 1 MIO likes. It took some time and people were using all accounts they owned on youtube to get the video to the mark because they wanted to get more, and, one thing leads to the other: he hit the mark again. With every manhunt video, he was then just raising the bar higher and higher, but never so high it couldn't be reached. And that was when he absolutely blew up. Since then he is getting almost 1 MIO subs every week. And he's getting 1 MIO likes like it's nothing. Also, his videos are just amazing, so that helps too.
When he starts advertising Nord: BYE that's how you lose retention
Its actually smart to put at end so u don’t lose that much views and retention with ad
@@klee540 Oh yeah that does make sense...
Another key thing would be to not tell people to like or subscribe or anything like that until the end of the video, or, don't say that at all lol
I think if people really like your content, they will share and subscribe and like the videos etc. It would be good if people put sponsorships at the end of the video too and give more details about the sponsorship in the video description so if people are interested, they can check the end of the video and check the description rather than having to listen to the sponsorship at the start of the video 😅 I don't know if sponsors tell you to put the mention at the start of the video or if you can choose to put it at any point in the video. I would put it at the end, personally. I got a decent deal with NORD VPN via a Minecraft TH-camr and it was good
The number one thing that is gonna blow you up is not these its simply great passion, without it you will not even be seen
Dream literally living in his dream meanwhile me 'still dreaming'.
Started watching him around PewDiePie seed days, you can tell he knows how to do TH-cam
Lad, thank you 🙏🏻 for what you do and how you do it! You are the best influencer I came across on YT! Cheers and best of luck on your journey!
Yes, a genius. Not only he had a dream of being a big youtuber but he is dream.
Also, I like how his thumbnails are just plan simple thumbnails. No special or excerpt thumbnails either. Heck, the exact same one. Yea, a genius.
6:07 oML this is around the time realisation hit me like to the point where i finished the sentence before you
the mc manhunts are the algorithm beater cause they are long (which means better retention) while also keeping the viewer hooked cause of the intensity, meaning they are very likely to watch til the end...
thats so freaking smart istg this guys a genius
mc content is also easy to create (meaning it doesnt take as long to pump out as stuff like animation) and the editing style is unique. My 7 IQ brain just exploded
This is such a great insight into the gaming niche... but pleaaaase can you analyze the Aviator and especially general aviation niche? This is so hard most of us pilots feel stuck 🥺🥺
your videos oh my gosh! they loooook so coooool! deffo a sub from me ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
This man is frikin speedrunning youtube
Mate, how do you understand when it's time to move from trend-jacking to finding your own high performing series? Like have you worked out / thought of a number of subs or views per video you should get before switching? Thank you
TH-cam was like “Hmm a green man that runs from people, seems decent let’s just show everyone”
Summary
Dream could survive in a very saturated niche.
1. Trend-Jacking: Use key words that indicate trending topics. Make your videos related to those topics.
1-1. Find a topic from other social media and attract them to your TH-cam video that talks about that specific topic. (Multi Media, One Direction)
3. Original Ideas *added to* the trending topics
4. Make videos that are preferred by the Algorithm.
4-1. TH-cam algorithm considers both Retention (% of a video watched by one viewer) and Watch time (# of minutes watched per viewer)
Dream achieved both by creating videos as if they are movies. Lots of tension and uncertainty, but satisfaction at the end.
5. Same series with improvement = outdated yet more interesting
Thanks
Commenting this so more people can see this when they click on this video
Eh, Nord isn’t actually that good as far as reputation goes. Couple times now they’ve had data breaches and just told nobody in hopes it wouldn’t get out. Nah, if you want a good VPN you go with one that has 3rd party auditing for no logs with dedicated servers. I use VyprVPN for that reason, they own all of their own server/network infrastructure and are based in Sweden so there’s no legality stopping them, third party audit, too.
Sky Robinson who asked?
Bo Bo It’s good information to know, smartass.
Nice toxicity, tho.
Sky Robinson thx I’ve been practicing
@@BoBo-fi8lm haha funny joke amirite?
Have some respect for Sky, jeez
@Green Man I wish I was sponsored by Vypr, tbh. Had a lot of shitty VPNs over the years, I just hope they don't also suck sometime in the near future.
Hoping someday I'll have some eureka moment like these youtubers you study. Will keep watching these videos to help me get there :)
Mr Beast: Enters the room
Dream: why do I hear boss muisc
keemstar: *kicks dream for not having many views
also dream : * just reached 10 mil and can have 400k live views in youtube and have to much views in twicth for him to raid some and asked them to leave but the views keeps getting up in minecraft champoinship*
dream has millions of dollars now its crazy
He's really inspiring, someday I want to change the world just like him.
2021 LETS GO!
lets do it together
2:49 and you did the same thing...
his channel is first hand proof of how effective trend jacking is
Proof why Dream is the best Minecraft speedrunner:
Yeah, he may not have the world record (right now)
But he's straight up speedrunning TH-cam itself
And he can literally beat minectaft with like 4 people teying ti kill him on the way
Very intersting metrics. Thank you for sharing.

Me: well that’s true but i have school i have too
