I was getting almost zero views on my YouTube channel, until one day I decided to shift my video strategy and focus more on giving valuable payoffs, challenges, and questions to help keep Viewers watching, and give satisfying endings... after that change, it took me 45 days to get over 8 Million views on a new YouTube channel focused on gaming. 👑 Check out Eljay Live Right now: http://bit.ly/eljayemtwitch 🔴 Try VidIQ For Just $1: https://vidiq.com/streamscheme/ 🔴 Download FREE Animated Overlays From Our Discord: https://bit.ly/FREEStreamOverlays 👑 Follow Todd B: https://twitter.com/hitsman/status/1560479565197107202?s=20&t=Pna4wLmOsKKAKWwOpkpJDA 👑More Info On The Update Here: https://blog.youtube/news-and-events/more-ways-for-creators-to-earn-on-youtube/ 👑And Here: https://twitter.com/vidIQ/status/1668604440528449541?s=20 How To Come Up With Youtube Video Ideas Nobody is searching highlights and VODs of somebody with no viewers or following, this is why I don’t tell new streamers to start a Youtube channel for their highlights. You don’t have an audience yet, which means you need to find an audience by figuring out what they are searching for and capitalize on that. This is easiest done with Education content, that is what I am doing with this channel. I use tools and common sense to think about what people who want to learn to stream or improve their stream are looking for. I then cater content to fit those needs and release it. 🕘Timestamps: 0:00 My Views and Evidence Of Success Using This Method 0:36 Busting Terrible YouTube Shorts Myths! 2:30 Why YouTube Shorts Views Are LESS Valuable 3:45 Why Under 2000 Views On A Short Is "Bad" 5:00 Why Focusing On One Topic Or Audience IS Crucial 6:47 How Ideas Make Or Break Your Shorts Growth! 12:10 How Your Shorts Intro Can Ruin Your Swiped Vs Viewed 13:24 How Long Should YouTube Shorts Be? 16:12 Why Your YouTube Shorts Aren't Getting Views? 17:18 How To Increase Retention Rate On Your YouTube Shorts 20:50 Why Shorts Are The Perfect Learning Tool for New YouTubers 22:17 The Mistakes New Shorts Creators Should AVOID! What Is The New YouTube Update? Channel page updates are rolling out right now slowly and should be rolled out for everyone by the end of the year, this means now Videos, Shorts, and Live Streams will have their own tabs on the channel, if you’ve uploaded each of them… No more unlisting Live streams, and of course that means, no more losing watch hours, but more importantly, uploading shorts without making your channel page look terrible and harder to locate your main videos. Quickly as well, they are experimenting with a new recommendation tool on channel pages so the subs who visit get videos or content on your channel recommended to them based on what they enjoy most, so if someone subscribed to you for shorts, they’ll see shorts rather than videos when they come to your channel.

Make education content on the topic you want to grow in, if you are a Stardew Valley streamer then you can make videos about “How To Install Mods In Stardew Valley” or “Best Greenhouse Layout For Stardew Valley” or if you are a speedrunner for something like Super Mario Odyssey or Legend of Zelda, “How To Speedrun Super Mario Odyssey - Cap Kingdom Tutorial” The style of this video is similar to Alpha Gaming and VidIQ in parts. A large influence on this series has come from content creators like Gaming Careers and Nutty. 🎬Watch our most recent videos: https://bit.ly/RecentStreamVids 🎬 Playlists You Might Like: Guides and Tutorials: https://bit.ly/StreamGuidesPlaylist Streamlabs OBS Guides: https://bit.ly/SlobsGuides 💬 Streaming Guides: The Full Guide to Twitch Graphics: https://bit.ly/FullGuideToTwitchGraphics How To Stream On Twitch The A to Z Guide: https://bit.ly/HowToStreamOnTwitch101 -------------------------------SOCIAL------------------------------- 👥Facebook: https://bit.ly/StreamSchemeFB 🐦Twitter: https://bit.ly/Streamtweets 💬Website: https://bit.ly/Streamscheme 🐦Go force Eljay to use Twitter: http://bit.ly/EljaysTweets #YouTube #growth #shorts #guide
