Ever seen a YouTube video title that made you HAVE to click it? We recently found an AWESOME video by YouTuber Zoe Bee (who had 39,000 subscribers at the time) that went SUPER viral, and we wanted to share the secret ingredient behind its success. The key? Thinking outside the box! Her title: "Grading is a Scam (And Motivation is a Myth) I A Professor Explains" Intriguing, right? Here's why it worked and went viral: Cool topic: When someone challenges the way things are usually done, it makes us WANT to know more. Bold words: Using words like "scam" and "myth" grab attention (but remember to explain what you mean in the video!). Being an expert: Saying "Professor explains" makes the claim sound more believable. Like a teacher who knows a lot! Eye-catching thumbnail: The red "F" is bright and reinforces the video title. Remember, the title and thumbnail are your first impression. Make them really good and generate curiosity of the viewer! This isn't just about tricks, though. Zoe's video is actually good, with examples you can understand and even science to back it up! The key takeaway? Challenge conventional thinking in a way that's both interesting and credible, and you'll grab your audience's attention.

Obsessing over view counts isn't strategy. It's a distraction. Sharing screenshots of isolated view numbers offers a limited glimpse into success, and doesn't translate into actual strategic planning. True strategy is about making informed decisions. It's about identifying the best course of action, even when faced with unfavourable options. A skilled strategist will not tell you which is better: a bad option or a terrible option. Instead, he/she will analyze your unique situation, taking into account your strengths and limitations, and help you weigh the potential risks and rewards of each choice. This empowers you to make informed decisions that align with your long-term goals, even when the path forward isn't clear. Focus on cultivating strategic thinking, not chasing fleeting view numbers. This will ultimately lead to greater success and sustainable growth on your YouTube journey. #youtubestrategy #youtube #youtubeviews

Algorithm complexity: it's not just about watch time, it's about captivating viewers. The Key to Success? Remarkability!

YouTube viewers skipping sections? Here's a simple fix. Spike in your retention graph at chapter breaks? People are skipping ahead! Why? Because they get the gist too quickly and miss the juicy details. Flip the script: 1. Hook them: Start with relatable context or a captivating metaphor. Make them lean in. 2. Build anticipation: Explain, elaborate, weave a story. 3. Drop the mic: Deliver the key point - the payoff for their attention. Bonus tip: Don't just "explain it." Show it, illustrate it, bring it to life! We help creators and businesses hook viewers, hold their attention, and grow their videos and channels.

Let's be real, folks. YouTube's a goldmine of creativity, but it's also a battlefield for attention. Here's the harsh truth: 1. Attention is a zero-sum game: Views are like currency, and every second spent on one video is a second lost for another. 2. The power law reigns supreme: A tiny fraction of videos grab the lion's share of views. 3. The algorithm's a mystery: YouTube AI is collecting billions of data points, trying to predict what the viewer will watch next. 4. Supply is infinite, attention is finite: You're competing with millions for eyeballs, and it's easy to get lost in the noise. But wait! Don't despair. Here's the antidote: 1. Catch Attention 2. Hold Attention 3. Convert Attention Remember, it's not just about views, it's about building influence. By understanding the game and playing it smart, you can carve your niche in this vast digital ocean. So, fellow YouTubers, let's stop sugarcoating the realities and start strategizing. Who's ready to conquer the attention battlefield? P.S. Want to dive deeper into YouTube growth strategies?

That Brings us to Strategy Number #3 Mr Beast is a great storyteller. He knows the art of hooking his audience. Take for example one of his videos titled: I Opened A Free Car Dealership! And this is the first thing he says in the video: I Bought Every Single Car At A Car Dealership The audience already knows exactly what the video is going to be about: Mr Beast bought some cars and he is going to give them away! Simple concept yet brilliant execution. Mr Beast then shows himself buying the cars which must have taken a while in real life but only 5 seconds of video time. In the opening segment, camera angles switch multiple times There’s a quick time lapse And there’s humour including reactions. Then Mr Beast Walks through the lot to take inventory of his newly purchased cars And changes the pricing to absurdly low numbers. The viewer is hooked. This all happens in the first 45 seconds. Mr Beast is an absolute Genius at re-engagement strategies He uses humour and emotional relief, camera work and editing techniques to retain his audience. He’s listed the first car to sell for $3, but when the buyer sits down to sign the paperwork, he says: We ran a 33% off sale, so it's now $2   All this while he’s using zoom work, fast paced editing, sound effects & text on the screen to continuously re-engage. Now you might think, This video has worked because of sensationalism:   Mr Beast buys 12 cars and documents his silly antics to give them all away. But something happens outside the sensation We see the sheer joy and gratitude of people who receive the free cars. We see Mr Beast feeling really happy about helping people. Its genuine and the viewers get emotionally connected By the end of the video you’ve smiled, laughed and maybe even cried.
