My aim is to make my video go viral by optimizing my YouTube SEO which in turn should rank my video in Google search too. I had posted a thread where I had asked should I quit my channel or not (as it's almost a dead channel) so majority was like don't quit, so this is my last attempt in reviving the channel.
Channel Stats:
Subscribers: ~45k
Active Subs (who watch my video when they get the notification): 200-500
ik that its a dead channel
Last 28 Days Stats:
CTR: 11.1%
Avg. View Duration: 1:18 mins
My Niches:
Niche A: Tutorials (you can get views but not subscribers - I do know that)
Niche B: somewhat Tutorials but not exactly (you can get views + subs in this particular niche, also this is niche that helped me get 85% of the dead subs I have)
The "Good Boy" Method:
Until my first video that blew up (niche A) I used to be a good boy to the YouTube algorithm (who is my dad and is strict af). When my first video blew up my ignorance started to build up, as that video had reached the 1 million mark, ignorance grew too. After a few months a video from niche B blew up and within 1.5 months racked up 150k views (now sitting at ~180k-190k).
Few months down the line- no video seems to blowing up, only views is growing from YT search & Google Search. This was because I was a "bad boy" by not listening to the algorithm and not giving it what it wants (great ctr, audience engagement & retention, etc).
So I've decided to be the good boy. My theory is that as my channel stats were down for so long as soon as it sees a great improvement (by being the good boy) it would start recommending my video(s).
Game plan:
Upload 3 videos.
Video 1- A short video that falls in between niche A & B, just to get things rolling.
Video 2- A long video that falls in Niche B, this video is what (I'm aiming) should go viral/blow up.
Video 3- A long video that falls in between niche A & B, 2nd attempt in getting the video to blow up just in case the Video 2 fails.
All 3 videos will be uploaded in the consecutive weeks. So this week- Video 1, next week- Video 2, next-to-next week- Video 3.
As soon as I publish Video 2 & Video 3, I plan to share it on Reddit & Facebook. (I've tried Reddit but not FB, whenever I post a link in FB it gets taken down).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
VIRAL CHART (according to me)
<50k views - It's better to quit.
100k views - Hmm, better than my recent videos.
250k views - Can do better, gotta try again.
500k views - Basically goal accomplished only if I can 10-12% of them to subscribe.
1 million views- If 5-7% of them subscribe then I'm done
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SO FAR WHAT I HAVE DONE:
Uploaded Video 1 few hours back.
Here's the stats:
Even though my CTR for this video has gone down a bit, that's expected as it's a niche A type of video.
But my average view duration is good as it comes around 38-ish% compared to some of my other videos where it's like 10-20%.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My main goal would be reaching 100k, but now I'm trying to make a video go viral as more views = more people converting from viewers to subs. Any helpful tips would be appreciated.
Thank You
