  1. Lists

  2. Drama

  3. Reaction

4. Create generally interesting and likeable content which is enhanced by your personality

Be entertaining.

That would work back in 2011. This is the future now. You'll get buried under the reaction channels reacting to you.

  • Decide what sort of YouTuber you’ll be. Do you upload music videos? Do you make funny videos? Are you a stand-up comedian? Do you tell stories? Chose whichever one you like the sound of, or just be a mix up of everything. Create your channel. Decorate it however you like, and make it original! Don’t make the text hard to read – Such as white background with yellow text, or blue background with red text.
  • Create a video with the info you want. If you want to make a how-to, make it simple and easy. If you want to make a funny video, do random things, and use the “cut edit” effect.
  • Edit the video. (here is where you ensure the “cut edit”) Cut all of the things that you don’t want. Make sure that it looks professional!
  • Upload, upload, upload! Who’s going to subscribe to an empty channel? No one. If you’re just starting, Windows Movie Maker is fine. You can use more advanced stuff if you want though.
  • Tell all your friends and family. Tell anyone to check your videos out. Also, subscribe and send friend requests to a bunch of people on YouTube.
  • Don’t leave your fans hanging. Once you get a decent amount of views, make more! Make them about what you can do, you and your friends, pranks, randomness, etc.
  • Get inspired. Watch the funny videos on YouTube and mix them up. Make parodies or remixes. Anything you basically love to watch. Soon, you’ll be on your way to becoming a YouTube sensation.
  • Show off your own talents. If you know some dance moves, keep practicing and get even better! You can make videos of you showing your friends how to do the moves, for example, to create a casual instructional on how to dance. Make a music video, be funny or make a movie.
  • Make a video that might be mentioned in Popular channels. Like Failblog, make something that’s as fail and put submit it to Failblog and with a little luck, you can be mentioned on Failblog and maybe RayWilliamJohnson! it is that simple!
  • Increase your subscribers. The more subscribers you’ll have, the more you’ll be popular. It takes time and patience. To make the process easy, you can buy the subscribers from a reliable source. I usually buy from Instantviews.co . They provide real, genuine subscribers by promoting your content on different online platforms, and also offer a money-back guarantee. I have had a great experience with them. So, I would recommend buying from them.

First off: Forget everything you hear about subscriber counts. Subscriber counts dont matter. Subscriber counts have NEVER mattered on YouTube. My channel had 40 subscribers for 7 years and then ended at 249 subscribers when I was banned. The only thing YouTube really cares about are referrals (How did people find your video?), watch time (how long do people watch your video for?), and repeat viewing (how many people return to watch your videos?)

So, as I mentioned in an earlier post: Reaction Channels are the easiest way to generate views.

I wanted to watch the failure of Rain Furrest video and while searching google it came up with the reaction video as the 2nd top result. This lead me to this channel which is nothing but reaction videos.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZT76Za5gfeletpXWC7B-ug

Complete and utter garbage content. But it is views. And views are money. 55 million views over 3 years in fact. They only have 179k subscribers. As a note, the general formula for subcribers to viewcount is about only 10% of your viewerbase will watch all of your videos. They have 2,289 uploads so their average views per video is 24,313 which is around 13% of their subscriber base per video. Not bad.

This classes them as a B tier YouTuber https://socialblade.com/youtube/channel/UCZT76Za5gfeletpXWC7B-ug

Their best video has 719k views. In general, your best video should have 10x the number of subscribers. This is why subscriber counts are pointless as they are meant to reflect how engaged your audience is. But only 10% of your audience ever watches you and then 10x the normal number of people come along to watch your best video.

And you'll never know what your best video will be, you can usually exclude best videos from the view count to figure out what your 'true' views per video count is.

They have about 60 videos which exceed their subscriber count. And they are from a year ago. Their lengths vary from 20:41 to 4:22 so they must have been hit by the YouTube algorithm change possibly around october 2018.

In any case: I hope I have made a good case for making a reaction channel. They easy to do, require absolutely no editing or setup at all. You dont need to write a script or even prepare anything. You literally sit there and watch someone elses video.

Another way to generate a lot of views is by reposting videos. A good example of this is the "Why are you gay?" African Interview.

The full interview comes from 2012 and was uploaded to YouTube by UCp4ajwFwhFiWDvL3YNyEpCA (subscriber count unknown).
