I got more than 100k views, more than 2k subs and hit monetization threshold over this past week! This is because I tried new ideas and it just clicked with the algorithm! When we are small we should try everything till one clicks then we do it over and over again. Goodluck to everyone! 🙏🏾😊💙
With attention spans getting shorter and shorter, it's getting harder to make a video that'll have a high retention rate and therefore will get promoted by the algorithm.
I think there are different audiences with different attention spans. Some podcasts regularly get a lot of watch time because the target audience are fascinated by the subject or the person. Then you have meme style videos who want something quick and funny. As creators, we need to find the right balance which hits the sweet spot for our audience. That’s much easier said than done though! Over time, you’ll find out what works best for you and your audience.
Maybe if you push NWO shill content which the YT algos favor, yes it will get better. But if you have any sort of truther material that goes against the Beast system agenda that YT deliberately pushes, then YT algos will suppress your channel forever. And a VP of Google/YT even admitted that on record to US congress several years ago. Ergo, the statement in the OP is not true, and neither is the premise of this entire video, which doesn't even discuss the 100% true point that I've just stated.
I almost give it up because after doing the Alien database (most extensive and complete) for the past 16 years, I only have 9,289 subscribers when others have millions of subscribers. What did I done wrong? 👽👽👽
You changed the thumbnail... I know its probably because of video performance. But, the first one was amazing. Eye catching. Thank you for this video, helpful and encouraging!
@@vidIQ hey, vidiq, i don't get good response on my some videos on which i think it will perform will. I think yt algorithm recommends those to wrong audience i use correct tags etc. But then i uploaded it on my another account it perform well. Plz help me anyone 🙏
Amazing video worth of a sub!! Even though I don't consider myself a beginner anymore, I still remember getting started. It was a tough journey. Of course, things are a lot easier now and I'm super grateful that I didn't give up and stayed patient all the way through. Consistency and hard work (I also used Famester to kick start my channel, and I don't regret it) is the key for small channels and , in my experience, always pays off.
It's actually kind of cool to look at the analytics while listening to this. My first videos were only shown on search in the beginning, but as time moves forward my videos are more and more found on browse. Totally true! Great video!
Thank you vidIQ for the great tips. I'm pretty new to creating content and don't have enough data to know what works and what doesn't, but I'm doing what I love and studying analytics to see if I can figure out what viewers want to see from my channel. I'll continue watching your videos and applying your principals where I can.
I’ve seen small channels blow up more so now than before. So I do believe in the algorithm but think it just needs a lot of data to assess who best to serve your videos to. And that means keep posting and improving!
All I know is the algorithm was wacky this weekend. My videos took 10 hours on average to hit search lol very odd (usually within minutes). I guess it’s always changing 🤔
Just a heads up for any music channel. I found out that today you will never be able to monitise your channel even if the music you share is royalty free! But TH-cam will continue to run ads on your vids 😅
@@striker0603 the point is I think there’s quite a lot of channels that share royalty free music thinking that they can still monitise because there is no copyright associated with the track
TH-cam shorts are most op thing on TH-cam. I was struggling to get more subscribes, but with youtube shorts it is like 10x easier. Also who reads this, do not give up!
I'm pleased with my progress so far, and even the pace I'm growing at. It's not super-fast, but it's steady. And I have in fact had a couple of videos do big numbers. What I'm really struggling with is building a tribe; a community. People complement my videos, cooks and even my on-screen personality all the time. And I do see regulars come back. But overall most of my views still come from first time visitors, and I still can't get much actual conversation going on in the community tab. They'll click on a poll but they'll seldom actually talk to me or answer a question. I don't know what I need to do to fix that and still be authentic and true to who I am as a person and the kind of videos I like doing. I don't see anything from the top channels in my niche that is dramatically different from one to the next. I guess people just fall in love with the personality. Malcom Reed is one of the top creators in the space but he isn't doing anything dramatically different. In fact they're all pretty-much the same. He's just a big lovable teddy-bear of a guy. It's kinda like "the more popular you are, the more popular you are", lol! Anyway, I'll keep pushing and reading and watching videos and trying to grow my knowledge. But I think this thing is more about staying the course than anything.
To all TH-cam creators, keep up the spirit of being creative. Focus on the things you like and are good at and do everything with perseverance and love, I hope that everyone will be successful in achieving what they dream of..
If I'm being completely honest, I do tend to click on videos with higher view counts because that means there are more people that have interacted with and pushed the video into the algorithm, which GENERALLY means the video is good. It does still have to have an appealing title and thumbnail though.
What a braindrad way of thinking😂 I do click on videos if i will more likely learn myself and better myself from clicking on them. Doesnt matter the number of views bc 99% of humans are absolutely incoherent and lost. I mean youre still a kid making "cookie eating videos"

Only advice I can give is that you might add a social media channel where you can promote a lot of your content just to get more audience reach and then people might actually start visiting your yt channel more or you could just build your social media (instagram/tiktok) if your grow much faster there.
I have to say, I've become a fan of this channel as I grow my own TH-cam channel and the ideas, recommendations, and how to's that are given in these videos have really helped me in my own pursuit of generating views, subs and overall interaction in my channel. Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge! You have a fan for life! Stay blessed!!!
Great video! I have an amazing little community- met the Watch hours, now just trying to chug along with good content to try and grow my little tribe! I love watching your videos, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience!
I’ve been making long form content for over a year now. I think I’ve found a good strategy for me. I focus on making shorts content first and then using my shorts to make into long-form content. It does matter how long your long-form content is. After tiktok became huge I feel like everyone’s attention spans are rapidly declining. I’ve been gaining a lot of subscribers from shorts as well. Paired with the gain in subscribers from shorts and watch hours from long form and live streams I think it’s a great way to grow your channel
I think regardless of what you do, sometimes youtube alghorythm doesn t work for you. Same videos get 5k to 10k on youtube but gets 1m to 2m on tiktok even though almost same subs. Anw lets keep fighting 😅
Does TH-cam penalize your videos based upon if you upload a video that doesn't get many views? After uploading a video and it not performing well, I noticed all of my videos then started taking a massive hit to viewers, even the ones that were getting a plethora of views. Is it related or just a coincidence? Also keep up the amazing work!!!!
Viewers always get to see the title and the thumbnail and the length of the video, and how many views the video has gotten, and sometimes it really influences the viewer to choose MrBeast & bigger creators OVER smaller creators, especially when the better thumbnails are the right there in front of viewers faces
It would be nice if we could actually edit our old videos within the TH-cam APP to be better videos to make them current again because a lot of us we’re just minor things in the videos, but TH-cam won’t let us do repetitive content even though it constantly shows US repetitive content of other creators. the algorithm always takes me back to NBA basketball podcasts. And I would just like a better mix of more interesting people coming into my feed how Instagram provides. so the TikTok algorithm is awesome and Instagram is more personable. TikTok has a wider wider wider wider wider audience as the second biggest search engine in the world. On TH-cam, we have to be very careful to teach English in English as American creators who know English very very carefully. English is hard to understand and Americans use a lot a lot a lot of sarcasm. Intellectuals USE satire all the time. bullshit detecting is required by all Americans who want to change America for the better. I am a WORDY person in these comment boxes and editing comments within this tiny little five line comment box does not help me adjust my paragraphs long comments at all! @youtube oh, I also look at how recently something was posted… I always want fresh videos and CONTENT creators who are creating a lot of content. It would be NICE IF ONLY TH-cam DECIDED TO be nicer to It’s creators who ARE or were working class or recently. We need everyone to have an elevated living in financial situation. UBI! Well for the working class anyway. In America and around the world.
This was very helpful. You just have to enjoy what you are doing and have fun with it and hopefully inspire or make it big sometimes. Keep pushing the content
Could you (or did you) make a video on people who get paid for helping new channels getting boosted? I'm wondering if they do a good job or bad job (fake engagement, bots...)
Great info and insight that keeps me going. Starting a channel is a roller coaster ride for sure! Just glad I’m building cabins instead of playing Minecraft. Whatever that is. 😂
VidiQ another great informative Video. VidIQ the goat! Thank you for helping me better my channel! Wishing the best of success to my fellow content creators as well!! Happy Monday everyone!!
When you look at your video analytics and see that a larger percentage of your views are coming from browse, that may be the best time to start specifically targeting it.
I don't know if the algorithm is that unforgiving. I created my channel in 2016 and published nothing, had a try during the pandemic and chickened out, but got serious about it one month and a half ago. I was sure no one will ever watch my content. Instead, somebody did. Of course I'm a million miles away from monetization and all that stuff, but I'm still amazed SOMEONE wanted to watch it. Probably it's vidIQ merit, I'm learning a lot from you. I'm trying to get better with time and experience, and I'm thinking about that niche. I love games and RPGs in particular, and I'm not seeing a lot of content creators playing cRPGs, or being a gamer that don't yell a lot, or swear a lot, or throw silly tantrums. We'll see. Thank you for the knowledge you're putting out here, vidIQ.
Hey, i was thinking that, maybe, your type of content would be much appreciated on Twitch... old style game lives and the Diablo format are actually exploding there. there is even people that are new getting 150 views on there. plus, you hit the monetization with 2 viewers x live and like 50 subs Just saying btw, it could be that you are not that kind of guy, and i do respect that, but it could be an opportunity
If TH-cam could hide how many views a video gets to the audience, I think even would have a good fighting chance, but TH-cam won't do that because it could ruin some of their bigger creators because they might be over looked. I tell you now even as a youtuber, I will check out a video that is more popular/more views than one that doesn't. It's like the old FOMO feeling "Am I missing out on something" "This video must be better quality than the one that only has 10 view" it's how we been taught to think.
Great Video, once again! Really trying to build my channel as well as i can but it’s very difficult. Thanks to your guys videos for helping us small youtubers with all the content, keep up the good work.😊
Very interesting stuff on this channel! Now to see if I can figure out how to best apply it, I mean I had a few very modest lucky flukes, but this perhaps can help me find a smarter method then 'If you build it, they will come'. It might be kind of scary if my work did get popular.
Some things to think about as I'm planning my return to releasing content. I do have a question though. I have not released a video since April 2023 and when looking at my 90 day, even 28 analytics I have More views, More Impressions, More watch Hours & more subscribers than previous 28 & 90 days. Yes it is still quite low as my channel is small but why would this happen when I have not released any new content for a couple of months? Is this something I should be looking at and trying to take advantage of, maybe not releasing weekly?
Tod: For the most part recommendations and search don't get pushed out, they get (kinda) "pulled from viewers" (when we have absolutely no behavioural data) which is straight b's as TH-cam still logs your watch history which in turn is the exact behavioural data he is claiming they do not have. So that's a lie they have that behavioral data from viewers which in turn shows TH-cam that what 90% of all viewers will be suggested content from creators that are where logged in there watch history. This is still making the job of trying to grow and grab attention and traction next to impossible for small channels.
All these “help” channels are complete BS. Anything they say as 100% proof can be easily contradicted. “Work hard and get results?” Say that in relation to all the worthless people who get millions of views for no effort: N&A Productions calling Minnie Mouse at 3 AM and having a stick figure pop out from a corner, elisocray drowning Peppa Pig in a bathtub, JayStation doing a ouija board challenge with Etika right after is suicide or Sneako praising Cuties. There’s no moral comparison to this nonsense against passionate creators like Taurus Versant. Entertaining guy. 1.4K videos. 236 subs.
Hello everyone. I’m finally up to 47 subscribers. Woo hoo! I’m hoping to get to 1000 in this lifetime. 🙃. Thank goodness for this channel and the awesome tips🎉🎉🎉. Everyone remember to have fun. ☕️
It’s interesting - my partner has her watch history turned off and she gets so many random video suggested. I on the other hand have them on, and always get super-relevant suggestions that I like consistently! Worth noting, I’m a Premium subscriber who binge-watches a ton of different content every day.
I think i found my niche (bo staff) that isn't all that competitive but it also doesn't pull a huge ton of viewers either. I thought it was harder on me until i did some searches and realized there's a lot of people just as good as me or even better that's getting far less views... So even though my channel is small and I'm getting between 600 - 1800 views per video, i think the algorithm might actually be supporting me more than the majority out there. To everyone out there working hard to grow your channel, i wish you the best and to keep working hard and stay consistent. YT shorts helped me get my first 100 subs so if you're just starting out or still climbing there, I'd recommend keeping your early videos to about 15 seconds each and adding audio from the recommended YT audio library. Try and make your videos fun to watch or convince your viewers to maybe watch it more than once. Increasing your audience retention will play a key role into growing your channel
@@EdwardKenway130 yeah i do believe it because i swapped to exclusively doing shorts for now and that's where all my subs are coming from. Looking at other martial arts channels that are doing the exact same thing but getting far less attention... I realized they aren't uploading many shorts if at all + i don't think they've caught on to relevant YT audio + using the right hashtags One thing i noticed if you're doing shorts, find someone similar that has been really successful and try to follow in their footsteps early on. One TH-camr I'm a big fan of is always using a certain song in every video. Since she has a certain audience that likes that content and that song, the algorithm thinks "hey if they like this popular person then they may like this person too." Have you ever scrolled to the next video and noticed "hey it's a different youtuber but they have the same song playing?" It's the same idea. The algorithm is picking up popular songs people listen to and sharing it back to back with similar content. When i tried that song it became pretty much my best video since i started
I can attest to this. I am quite literally servicing a Niche, within a Niche. I wanted to be a Vtuber, and I'd noticed there weren't any Metal Reaction Vtubers. There weren't actually any Vtubers in the reaction sphere. That was my in. With the help of VID IQ's Ideas section, I was able to find videos applicable to my audience to break down. Over time, people who typically watch reaction videos became intrigued by me. I was different. I was a talking cartoon. The growth is also highly dependent on the Title and Thumbnail creating a need in the Audiences mind, and for you to begin filling that need within the first 10 seconds. As you start to grow and double down on your niche (Or find an untapped subniche within your niche), the algorithm gains more confidence in you. This seems to happen through retention. When you are able to retain viewers, the algorithm will recommend you to more viewers within that niche. If you continue retaining viewers, the audience in which you're recommended becomes wider. At the end of the day it's a combination of research, knowing what your target audience wants, creating the need to see your video with the title and thumnail, and delivering on it immediately. Do this while re-calibrating how and what you create based on retention, and you'll be well on your way to growing as a channel.
I'm trying to grow my followers as well, as well as making each video better in one little way everyone! I love the advice your channel gives, thank you!
Excellent advice! I appreciate your channel. Keep it up! My channel doesn't have near the viewership yet , only 220 subs, but all we can do is keep grinding and putting out videos!! Well make it someday.
Listening to them explain how the algorism works is funny when I can go to my analytic data and see that is not how it is working. I may complain a lot, theraputic really, but VidIQ gives some great advice. Anyway story time. When TH-cam was indexing my shorts properly two things were apparent from the data. Performance was not based on anything they say it was. Videos that got likes, subscribers, and great watchtime performed the same as videos with barely any metrics. The second thing was after roughly two hours the algorism would stop showing it to people. Coincidently at roughly the same views. Checking the data provided revealed the afforementioned issues, but the best part was they showed what tags my videos were be recommended on. As a gaming/geek channel you'd guess gaming and geek tags. You'd flunk that guess. Every vid checked the tags would have absolutely nothing to do with my channel's theme, meta data, or the tags on the video. Explaining why people were swiping off my content when they blatently did not want to see gaming content. Saying probably when describing how your algorism works does not inspire confidence in the varacity of what is being said. What inspires even less confidence are all the locked threads asking why people aren't seeing channel's shorts on TH-cam's help.
I think they have so much data that they have categorized channels as worthy of X number of views. Hit that ceiling and it's done. Couldn't steal a view after that
I got more than 100k views, more than 2k subs and hit monetization threshold over this past week! This is because I tried new ideas and it just clicked with the algorithm! When we are small we should try everything till one clicks then we do it over and over again. Goodluck to everyone! 🙏🏾😊💙

Nice, I watched some of your videos and subscribed, keep it up.
With attention spans getting shorter and shorter, it's getting harder to make a video that'll have a high retention rate and therefore will get promoted by the algorithm.
That's for sure.
This is why i try to keep my videos no longer than 40 seconds at most.

On TH-cam, we have to be very careful to teach English in English as American creators who know English very very carefully. English is hard to understand and Americans use a lot a lot a lot of sarcasm. Intellectuals USE satire all the time. bullshit detecting is required by all Americans who want to change America for the better. I am a WORDY person in these comment boxes and editing comments within this tiny little five line comment box does not help me adjust my paragraphs long comments at all! @youtube
oh, I also look at how recently something was posted… I always want fresh videos and CONTENT creators who are creating a lot of content. It would be NICE IF ONLY TH-cam DECIDED TO be nicer to It’s creators who ARE or were working class or recently. We need everyone to have an elevated living in financial situation. UBI! Well for the working class anyway. In America and around the world.
Like a just refreshed thing for the best videos.
This was very helpful. You just have to enjoy what you are doing and have fun with it and hopefully inspire or make it big sometimes. Keep pushing the content
Thanks so much for the advice and information. Was fun to watch. Great video
I'm still learning to make a channel too, even though there aren't many people watching, I'm still enthusiastic about uploading
The funny jokes you makes keeps me watching Rob 👍 😂😂
Could you (or did you) make a video on people who get paid for helping new channels getting boosted? I'm wondering if they do a good job or bad job (fake engagement, bots...)
To the person who is reading this, don't give up on your channel, it's going to grow. We will get there fam!
Great info and insight that keeps me going. Starting a channel is a roller coaster ride for sure! Just glad I’m building cabins instead of playing Minecraft. Whatever that is. 😂
😂😂😂😂
Your channel will grow based upon the content you post.
Everything in this channel is amazing, keep the good job!
This is words of wisdom; I was thinking about this also but this video validated my thinking. great information, big thanks.
Thank you for the impressive teaching and using several perspectives, videos and images to explain how we do it
Competition is intense, but your strategies are brilliant. Incorporating these tactics to stand out in my niche. Exceptional content!
VidiQ another great informative Video. VidIQ the goat! Thank you for helping me better my channel! Wishing the best of success to my fellow content creators as well!! Happy Monday everyone!!
@Mystery Dungeon Z Thank you MDZ!!
💪💪💪
They literally say the same thing every time.
They just wrap it differently.
If you are reading this comment, I hope your TH-cam channel grow faster now more than ever!
Thank you for this. and goodluck everyone
Great video as always guys! Just kinda wondering when is a generally good time to start targeting Browse and Suggested traffic?
When you look at your video analytics and see that a larger percentage of your views are coming from browse, that may be the best time to start specifically targeting it.
This is great info, thank you. And I think I heard on this channel "the viewer SUMMONS🙌the algorithm"
Great analogy with Jordan. Thank you!
this was very helpful, thanks for the information. keep up the good work and helping other small TH-camrs.
I don't know if the algorithm is that unforgiving. I created my channel in 2016 and published nothing, had a try during the pandemic and chickened out, but got serious about it one month and a half ago. I was sure no one will ever watch my content. Instead, somebody did. Of course I'm a million miles away from monetization and all that stuff, but I'm still amazed SOMEONE wanted to watch it. Probably it's vidIQ merit, I'm learning a lot from you. I'm trying to get better with time and experience, and I'm thinking about that niche. I love games and RPGs in particular, and I'm not seeing a lot of content creators playing cRPGs, or being a gamer that don't yell a lot, or swear a lot, or throw silly tantrums. We'll see. Thank you for the knowledge you're putting out here, vidIQ.
Hey, i was thinking that, maybe, your type of content would be much appreciated on Twitch...
old style game lives and the Diablo format are actually exploding there.
there is even people that are new getting 150 views on there.
plus, you hit the monetization with 2 viewers x live and like 50 subs
Just saying btw, it could be that you are not that kind of guy, and i do respect that, but it could be an opportunity
Subbed
So after how many years do I realize it’s never going to work, it’s not worth the time, and give up?
Good
If TH-cam could hide how many views a video gets to the audience, I think even would have a good fighting chance, but TH-cam won't do that because it could ruin some of their bigger creators because they might be over looked. I tell you now even as a youtuber, I will check out a video that is more popular/more views than one that doesn't. It's like the old FOMO feeling "Am I missing out on something" "This video must be better quality than the one that only has 10 view" it's how we been taught to think.
Thank you very much for the great advice and tips. I will be watching.😊
I am here to support everyone trying to get there. Let's do it guys.
Very informative. Thank you both for sharing your knowledge. Have an amazing day. 🎉👍
Great Video, once again! Really trying to build my channel as well as i can but it’s very difficult. Thanks to your guys videos for helping us small youtubers with all the content, keep up the good work.😊
Very informative video! Thanks for sharing.
Bahaha, you're defo king of hitting that 8 minute video, also loved it again man
surely the is something that i am not doing it right on my channel can you please tell me what is it
THANK YOU vidIQ! I think you just saved my youtube channel.
Thank you for your advice to us all. I respect how much you share guidance. Hope your days get better.
I love following every video because anytime i watch them it has changed on my channel because i learn new things ❤
Very interesting stuff on this channel! Now to see if I can figure out how to best apply it, I mean I had a few very modest lucky flukes, but this perhaps can help me find a smarter method then 'If you build it, they will come'.
It might be kind of scary if my work did get popular.
Always entertaining video. Engaging backgrounds, shifting scenes.
I took a big step and started my channel. ❤ I love everyone wanting to spread love knowledge and amazing content keep it up.
EXACTLY...thats true guys
Thank you for making this video.
Some things to think about as I'm planning my return to releasing content. I do have a question though. I have not released a video since April 2023 and when looking at my 90 day, even 28 analytics I have More views, More Impressions, More watch Hours & more subscribers than previous 28 & 90 days. Yes it is still quite low as my channel is small but why would this happen when I have not released any new content for a couple of months? Is this something I should be looking at and trying to take advantage of, maybe not releasing weekly?
To everyone reading this, DON'T GIVE UP and keep on pushing,one day your hard work will reward you,like if you believe it
I will maybe give up
This is big help to motivate us. Thank you so much😊
Nice story and good explanation to nail the point.
Wait what makes a youtube channel small views or subs
Tod: For the most part recommendations and search don't get pushed out, they get (kinda) "pulled from viewers" (when we have absolutely no behavioural data) which is straight b's as TH-cam still logs your watch history which in turn is the exact behavioural data he is claiming they do not have.
So that's a lie they have that behavioral data from viewers which in turn shows TH-cam that what 90% of all viewers will be suggested content from creators that are where logged in there watch history.
This is still making the job of trying to grow and grab attention and traction next to impossible for small channels.
This is also exactly what is so beyond broken about the supposed algorithm that is supposed to help suggest small channels
All these “help” channels are complete BS. Anything they say as 100% proof can be easily contradicted. “Work hard and get results?” Say that in relation to all the worthless people who get millions of views for no effort: N&A Productions calling Minnie Mouse at 3 AM and having a stick figure pop out from a corner, elisocray drowning Peppa Pig in a bathtub, JayStation doing a ouija board challenge with Etika right after is suicide or Sneako praising Cuties. There’s no moral comparison to this nonsense against passionate creators like Taurus Versant. Entertaining guy. 1.4K videos. 236 subs.
Hello everyone. I’m finally up to 47 subscribers. Woo hoo! I’m hoping to get to 1000 in this lifetime. 🙃. Thank goodness for this channel and the awesome tips🎉🎉🎉. Everyone remember to have fun. ☕️
Thanks for the advice hope it helps.
It’s interesting - my partner has her watch history turned off and she gets so many random video suggested. I on the other hand have them on, and always get super-relevant suggestions that I like consistently! Worth noting, I’m a Premium subscriber who binge-watches a ton of different content every day.
GOOD job
Thank you, this video opened my perspective
I think i found my niche (bo staff) that isn't all that competitive but it also doesn't pull a huge ton of viewers either. I thought it was harder on me until i did some searches and realized there's a lot of people just as good as me or even better that's getting far less views... So even though my channel is small and I'm getting between 600 - 1800 views per video, i think the algorithm might actually be supporting me more than the majority out there. To everyone out there working hard to grow your channel, i wish you the best and to keep working hard and stay consistent.
YT shorts helped me get my first 100 subs so if you're just starting out or still climbing there, I'd recommend keeping your early videos to about 15 seconds each and adding audio from the recommended YT audio library. Try and make your videos fun to watch or convince your viewers to maybe watch it more than once. Increasing your audience retention will play a key role into growing your channel
True, i've posted like 30 videos so far and only 10 shorts.. you wont believe it but i've got 39 subs only thanks to those shorts
@@EdwardKenway130 yeah i do believe it because i swapped to exclusively doing shorts for now and that's where all my subs are coming from.
Looking at other martial arts channels that are doing the exact same thing but getting far less attention... I realized they aren't uploading many shorts if at all + i don't think they've caught on to relevant YT audio + using the right hashtags
One thing i noticed if you're doing shorts, find someone similar that has been really successful and try to follow in their footsteps early on. One TH-camr I'm a big fan of is always using a certain song in every video. Since she has a certain audience that likes that content and that song, the algorithm thinks "hey if they like this popular person then they may like this person too." Have you ever scrolled to the next video and noticed "hey it's a different youtuber but they have the same song playing?"
It's the same idea. The algorithm is picking up popular songs people listen to and sharing it back to back with similar content. When i tried that song it became pretty much my best video since i started
Thanks for sharing the video, which is my favorite search!
To all the small and new creators! Keep going, our time is coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just take one video at a time and you will get there 😊
Спасибо вашей команде за новые и рабочие связки, лучшие!!!
I know when I make a mistake in my video people love to comment and point it out and unfortunately, it's those videos that get pushed lol
I can attest to this. I am quite literally servicing a Niche, within a Niche. I wanted to be a Vtuber, and I'd noticed there weren't any Metal Reaction Vtubers. There weren't actually any Vtubers in the reaction sphere. That was my in. With the help of VID IQ's Ideas section, I was able to find videos applicable to my audience to break down. Over time, people who typically watch reaction videos became intrigued by me. I was different. I was a talking cartoon. The growth is also highly dependent on the Title and Thumbnail creating a need in the Audiences mind, and for you to begin filling that need within the first 10 seconds. As you start to grow and double down on your niche (Or find an untapped subniche within your niche), the algorithm gains more confidence in you. This seems to happen through retention. When you are able to retain viewers, the algorithm will recommend you to more viewers within that niche. If you continue retaining viewers, the audience in which you're recommended becomes wider.
At the end of the day it's a combination of research, knowing what your target audience wants, creating the need to see your video with the title and thumnail, and delivering on it immediately. Do this while re-calibrating how and what you create based on retention, and you'll be well on your way to growing as a channel.
I'm trying to grow my followers as well, as well as making each video better in one little way everyone! I love the advice your channel gives, thank you!
Excellent advice! I appreciate your channel. Keep it up! My channel doesn't have near the viewership yet , only 220 subs, but all we can do is keep grinding and putting out videos!! Well make it someday.
VID IQ FAMILY 💙
Pls create more youtube tricks it really helps so muchh
-this channel was fated to grow and help people
Thankyou
Listening to them explain how the algorism works is funny when I can go to my analytic data and see that is not how it is working. I may complain a lot, theraputic really, but VidIQ gives some great advice.
Anyway story time. When TH-cam was indexing my shorts properly two things were apparent from the data. Performance was not based on anything they say it was. Videos that got likes, subscribers, and great watchtime performed the same as videos with barely any metrics. The second thing was after roughly two hours the algorism would stop showing it to people. Coincidently at roughly the same views.
Checking the data provided revealed the afforementioned issues, but the best part was they showed what tags my videos were be recommended on. As a gaming/geek channel you'd guess gaming and geek tags. You'd flunk that guess. Every vid checked the tags would have absolutely nothing to do with my channel's theme, meta data, or the tags on the video. Explaining why people were swiping off my content when they blatently did not want to see gaming content.
Saying probably when describing how your algorism works does not inspire confidence in the varacity of what is being said. What inspires even less confidence are all the locked threads asking why people aren't seeing channel's shorts on TH-cam's help.
I think they have so much data that they have categorized channels as worthy of X number of views. Hit that ceiling and it's done. Couldn't steal a view after that
The algorithm hates me so much 💀
Same
Hahaha
10 subs away from 900! Thanks guys for all y’all’s tips thus far
Salam bu qədər çətinliy.
