Great thread and thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I have always been fascinated with the idea of earning money from YouTube as it's possible to make your income automatic from it.
Last two months I have been putting an extra interest in it and decided to make my own channel and go for it.
The niche I'm in is kind of Top 10 videos, compilations and such. I find a subject I find interesting, get a few clips/pictures and add commentary to it.
Started out a month ago and right now have 450 subscribers and 50-60 thousand organic views, most of which I have gained in the last two weeks.
Spent 70 dollars on HR views and Likes to boost them up which I have sinced gained back from AdSense money. Really want to make this happen
so ready to give it all I got! All my spare time goes to researching and making videos.
I do have some questions about how certain videos manage to blow up. Specifically one channel making similar videos to me seem to gain
a impossible amount of views on some of his videos (9 million in 4-5 days).
Working a lot with SEO in form of Title, copying trending videos keywords, long relevant descriptions and catchy thumbnails.
I once literally did the same kind of video as him, copied his keywords, description, made a super similar thumbnail and boosted it with 10k HR views. Mine stopped at 11k, his? 2.7 million.
When I buy views for my videos I often get between 4-5k, is it too little? Should I boost it even higher?
Thinking of trying the Unlisted method which I first heard about today on this forum.
Would it be possible for me to PM you and show you the video I'm referring to?
I feel like he is doing some sort of shady business with buying views or such but the amount of views he's getting on videos that aren't even that
relevant anymore is beyond me.
TL;DR:
Did YouTube 1 month, starting to grow with help of HR views. Similar channel gaining ridicolous amounts of views, how the hell? Can I PM you the
video and see if you spot something I don't?
If you have any above the basic tips I'd be more than willing to talk with you about it, I'm all ears!
Thanks for helping everyone out!
