Need help on youtube

Hi BHW members,

I want to ask a question regarding Youtube. I often see new youtube channels suddenly getting lots and lots of views and subscribers. What could be their strategies for this? Also, some channels i have seen even new channels have millions of views on their shorts. Any idea how?

I experimented first time on youtube, have 2 channels and only could get 8 subscribers and few hundred views on shorts only.

Also, Would love to know your suggestion for any youtube course (paid and free) which is up-to-date with latest information. I want to move on youtube platform in right direction and in step by step way. And not creating bulk content providing no value to users. Will appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks.

New channels that grow fast usually focus on Shorts, good hooks, and posting often while learning from what performs well.

One tip I would share is to upload a series or at least part of a series. So something like sourdough mastery part one. You then encourage a binge watch of all your videos. This can quickly turn one person into a repeat viewer and/subscriber. Ed Lawrence is very good at this. Just watch what he does more than what he says.

I also like to really niche down one person one problem one payoff.

So to continue with the theme “my sourdough isn’t rising”

Just create bulk content that does provide value then? You can bulk your script writing and production into bulk tasks. I'm doing just that with the hope of in a few months i can roll out 50+ videos consecutively. It means i dont make as many videos regularly all the time, but when i do there is 50 days of regularity.

Newer channels can sometimes take off, that's the ones you see.
Usually the beginning is slow and you can fight that with daily uploads. Eventually you'll gather more subscribers, if you're lucky Youtube may push your content if it thinks it's good

It’s true that there are many YouTube channels that are still very new but already have huge views and subscriber numbers. However, those cases are actually a small minority.
In my opinion, the biggest reason is that they chose the right niche and made their content unique and engaging. That’s also why you end up seeing their videos in the first place.
Another case I’ve noticed recently is smaller, newly created channels getting high views or subs because they’re being promoted by bigger channels. Large channels sometimes collaborate with or shout out smaller ones, which gives those smaller channels an initial audience. Once that early audience is big enough, YouTube’s algorithm starts pushing the smaller channel further on its own.

YouTube influencers use many social app profiles to share upload videos online to generate traffic/views,some do purchase smm services to achieve engagement/interaction on uploads.

Why are you only getting a few hundred views and 8 subscribers?

Most beginners make the following mistakes:

1. Lack of keyword/trend research

You finish filming before creating the title → YouTube doesn't understand what query you're addressing.

2. Content is too rambling

Not clearly focused on the problem-solution for viewers.

3. Thumbnail and title aren't strong enough

No matter how good a video is, if it doesn't capture the viewer's attention in the first second, it won't be successful.

4. The right content strategy (level by level)

✔ Step 1: Gather data from real needs

Things to ask before filming:

What are viewers searching for?

What keywords will they use?

Can I solve that problem in 60–90 seconds (short) or 3–8 minutes (long)? ✔ Step 2: Create two types of content simultaneously
YouTube Shorts

Optimized for initial view acquisition

Personal + high energy

Brand consistency

Concise + quick problem-solving

YouTube Long

Deeper value

Explanation of the topic

Evergreen content

Drive views from search & recommendations

Large channels all use the Short + Long combo effectively.

Channels grow fast by using strong hooks, focusing on a clear niche, and leveraging trends. quality retention and engagement matter most.

those fast-growing channels usually nail one thing early: strong hooks and retention, especially for Shorts. The algorithm pushes content that keeps people watching, even from new accounts. I’d focus on testing formats, studying what already works in your niche, and improving pacing before worrying about volume or courses.

Creating content that addresses a clear need or entertains a specific audience consistently tends to build steady growth, even for brand new channels, without relying on viral trends.

In my experience, and I’m talking only about Shorts on a new account, the first two videos usually don’t get many views. After that, YouTube tends to push a few videos. If the algorithm picks them up and they perform well, it pushes the account more. If not, growth slows down for a couple of Shorts, and then the same cycle happens again. This is something I’ve personally noticed.

It is useless to buy these courses, and it is better to optimize the quality of your videos。

1 in 100000 channel would be able to do this , so this is an exception.

They know there audience, competition. They know how to rank.

Hi,


This is a very common question, and honestly what you’re seeing is usually not luck. In most cases it’s experience, strategy, or both.


Many new channels that blow up quickly are created by people who already understand YouTube. They start with a clear niche, tested formats, strong hooks, or they repurpose content that already works on platforms like TikTok or Instagram. Some also use paid traffic or automation, but that alone doesn’t explain real growth.


With Shorts especially, it’s normal to see brand new channels getting millions of views. Shorts are pushed based on how the content performs, not how old or big the channel is. If the hook is good and people actually watch, YouTube will test it hard.


Your results are actually normal for a first attempt. YouTube needs time and data to understand who your content is for. If those signals aren’t clear yet, distribution stays limited.


About automation, this is where most people mess up.


A lot of beginners jump straight into SMM panels thinking more views will fix the problem. In reality, that often confuses the algorithm. When YouTube gets traffic from the wrong audience, it doesn’t know who to show your videos to organically, and that can hurt a channel long term.


That doesn’t mean automation is useless. It just means it has to be done properly.


There is a right way to use automation, especially in the early stages, to help YouTube understand what type of audience your channel is meant for. Many good videos don’t get views simply because they were never delivered to the right viewers. If the videos are good and the signals are clean, automation can give a small push in the right direction.


But it’s important to be clear: automation doesn’t fix bad content. If retention is low, nothing will save it. Think of it as guidance for the algorithm, not a shortcut.


As for courses, most paid ones just recycle the same information. I’d focus more on studying channels in your niche, breaking down what actually works, and learning directly from YouTube’s own Creator Insider channel. Testing and iterating will teach you more than any course.


If you want to do things step by step and build something solid, that’s the right mindset. YouTube rewards clarity and consistency much more than bulk uploads.


Hope this helps.

I THINK THEY WARM THEIR ACCOUNTS FIRST TO AVOID SHADOWBAN

Short version from what I’ve seen:

A lot of “new” channels that blow up fast are usually doing one (or more) of these:

• Jumping on trending formats (not just topics) that Shorts algo is already pushing
• Extremely strong first 1–2 seconds hook + high retention (that’s 90% of Shorts success)
• Posting many variations of the same idea and letting the algo pick the winner
• Reusing / slightly remixing content that already proved viral on TikTok/Reels
• In some cases: previously warmed channels, cross-promotion, or existing audience off-platform

For Shorts specifically, subs don’t matter much at the start — retention + rewatches do. A brand-new channel can hit millions if one Short nails those metrics.

For learning YouTube “the right way”:

• Free: YouTube Creator Insider, Think Media (newer videos), and channel audits on YouTube itself
• Paid: Look for courses focused on Shorts + retention, not generic “upload daily” advice

My advice: don’t bulk upload. Pick one niche + one format, post consistently, analyze retention, and iterate fast. One viral Short teaches more than 100 average ones.

Pick a viral niche and to post high quality content regularly in that niche. That's how it happens.

For new channels, YouTube is more interested in viewer retention rates and watch time than the number of videos uploaded. Therefore, a focused, data-driven approach often yields better results than mass-producing content
