So since I'm asked every day how my channel grew so fast, I made a video about it lol. Talking a bit about the Youtube Algorithm, what i've done to try to exploit it, and also some other stuff, like my play button unboxing.
In the video I talk about a couple of important things, like CTR of "Click through rate". This is important, because without a high click through rate, people aren't gonna click on your videos, meaning you won't get any views.
The watch time is also curcial, and I talk a bit about how I try to keep the watch time as high as possible.
Something I didn't mention in the video, is that you have to find a recipe that works for you. For example "progress" videos and "Making X in Y time" works very well for me, but when people have tried to do the exact same thing, with the exact same thumbnail (just search for one of my popular videos, and you'll see a lot of copies), it hasn't worked out well for them. This is important to note, it shows that you have to find your own way, as different channels work in different ways. It's hard to explain, but after a while you will get the feel for what the algorithm wants from you lol.
One final note: Have fun. Don't make videos you don't wanna make, that's never gonna end well. If you make videos about stuff you enjoy, it's gonna be reflected in your content, and the viewers will be way more engaged. And the same goes for when you make content you don't enjoy: it's very noticable, and it's not gonna feel genuine.
