    If you'd like to get the tool I use in this video, VidIQ, for 30 days for $1 (normally $39), click here: vidiq.com/gygc/

      Yes, but it’s SOOOOO annoying. UA-cam will have you believe that out of 3 billion YT users (2023) ONLY 15 or 20 of them even LOOKED at your content. I’ve seen otherwise in reality. I’ve simply had a video playing on my phone while in line at the store and I see several folks asking what I’m watching and can they watch. We KNOW it’s UA-cam “funneling” the views. You really notice it as time passes. The less bottlenecking YT does, the more viewers are able to see content, and then more possibilities to have them like or interact. Rarely am I so moved by a video that I hit the like button, no matter how good it is. I’ll subscribe and save to favorites, and possibly comment. So I don’t look at likes as highly as basic exposure.

    What this video doesn't talk about is how while it might seem sensible to produce videos that're solely data driven, there are many creators that don't solely rely on any of this. A viewer might become an avid supporter of a channel simply because of THE individual. And that's it. Viewers might like a creators personality/mannerisms which is something that can't be measured.. This is why you'll have channels where no matter what they upload they'll get views regardless. In this particular instance I highly doubt creators are looking at things like competitors or data. I've seen content that has the most arbitrary titles, thumbnails and topics and yet viewers still manage to enjoy the content and stick around. It's not all about numbers. Just wish people would talk about that more.

      Your personality doesn't matter in terms of click through rate. Retention yes.
      But click through no. Majority of people here have issues getting good click through rate.
      They haven't even gotten to the point of needing to develop their retention. Click through rate comes first THEN RETENTION

    • @frosenzu8909

      Majority of those channels who are personality driven and it doesn't matter what they upload are people like penguinz0
      These people started UA-cam at a much simpler time with far less competition and lower standard of quality combined with booming charisma in one shape or form. Even if it's through comedy or roasting.
      These days...THERE IS NO SHORT of creators both high and low quality. THERE IS A SURPLUS and dare I say it's oversatursated with talentless and talented UA-camrs.
      99.9% people are going to need ALOT MORE than just personality. LUCK will be a necessity aswell as CONTACTS, influencers who can help you, growing side by side with you IN THE SAME NICHE or in a RELATED NICHE & the social skills to befriend them and NOT RUIN your relationship by leaving them in the dust OR BEING LEFT in the dust by them because people only help those out who can prove worth their time. Time is money and most people will only give you the time as long as they can make back the money..Even "friends" especially on UA-cam when those "friends" are competitors.
      Luck doesn't exist but there is so many factors in the AI/algorithm + audience & basic psychology on a mass scale that no one can account for all factors. It's humanely impossible. Luck MIGHT ASWELL exist

    Most of the channels that talk about channel growth really don't go this far into detail. I really appreciate you showing us your method to research and giving us a tool that could help us grow. You also talked about the why you were doing each step which really has me inspired to put in that extra effort to learn from other channels to help my own grow! Thanks for an awesome detailed video!

    Yes, you're correct. For me, I know I've strayed. Probably because the channels I wanted to do, youtube either deleted, copyrighted, and /or banned my stuff. So, I decided to just focus on one thing. The thing is their are so many channels that do Jerusalem stuff and there is so much to show. Now my videos vary from touris crap to local music stuff. In the end the reality is that no one even really understands what I'm really showing them. Finally, these days folks want things that are loud, stupid, silly, mindless etc. That's not me. In fact, to your credit, the reason I'm watching and listening to you is not just because you make sense, but because you have a nice, calm, pleasant and reasonable manner of delivery. I'm tired of crazy people yelling at me.

    2. play with the editing software thats how i started editing too, especially if you are an editor
    3. dont start to expect the video to suddenly blow up, i had 4 channels before this all of them collectively had 170 subs but i can confirm it takes time to get the hang of it

    Dude! The spreadsheet math of views per like is such a pro move. It's like God tier level idea for "researching" studying for ideas of things that work to create things people care to watch. Thank you.
    I'm stuck on the niche piece though lol because I have too many things I enjoy doing and filming. A friend once told me that my family IS the content, so that's why we've switched to WeWynne. My wife just had ACL surgery yesterday. So that's where we are currently. Thanks for the ideas though! Good luck to everyone else!

    I am doing this kind of Spreadsheet analysis every now and then. Mostly to benchmark my own videos compared to my outliers. Next time I will do something similar with my competitor videos

    Awesome video! Guys, this video is a gold mine of informations, I've watched it all the way through.
    Also, I'll point out the fact that through your "competitors", this is actually how I got recommended your channel, Marcus.
    I've been subscribed to Finzar and Film Booth before yours, so is it correct to say that your competitors can also be your allies in a way?

      For sure, there are pros and cons to having competitors.

    It's so hard to grow. Like, unimaginable hard. Spending hours and hours and HOURS into perfecting a video and yet not it getting any views at all is really demoralizing.

      Don’t create for others entertainment. Create for yourself. Film whatever it is like you wish someone else did that you could enjoy. If it’s about finance do it in a way that you would like to see, if it’s about cooking etc..
      Humans are all different but creepily similar. There are literally millions of people who WILL like WHAT YOU LIKE.
      Create for you and they
      Will follow.

    I have set myself target for two years - in this period I will make as much video as I can and then assess. Remember the journey at the start is hard so be patient 😊

    This is a really great video! From what I have seen on youtube its okay to spread out a bit as long as it makes sense for your content and audience (like reviews and fitness instructor videos)
    Also I wont feel bad for my 20-30 views for a period of time, when some are struggling with only 2-3 views for 3month :O
    I always feel bad when I pick topics other people have made.
    But I guess its like that episode from south park where Professor Chaos is frustrated that the Simpsons did all his evil plans xD We cant really get over the fact that most topics have been made already

      I would take a different view about picking topics others have already done. If you have a unique take or some way to put your own flare on the topic, for viewers it can be nice to get different opinions on a subject they're interested in.
