there are a lot of misconceptions about how the algorithm Works a bunch of people will tell you that you should post shorts post at specific hours of the day and that all of your videos have to be super high quality and over 8 minutes long among other lies I'm Kimmy last year I grew a brand new YouTube channel to 100K in less than 8 months a new gaming channel to 16k Subs in less than 3 months and made over 2,000 videos on YouTube in this video I will tell you exactly how the algorithm Works what
you need to do if you want to grow your YouTube channel and all of these in a straightforward and no BS man so make sure you watch till the end all of those common beliefs mentioned above are false these wannabe YouTube gurus legit have no idea what they're talking about they might have gotten lucky and had one viral video and now they think that makes them someone who understands YouTube first of all the algorithm doesn't work against you the only role it has is to show your video in front of a large group of people
until it clearly defines your target audience when you don't have a subscriber base all of your videos will be pushed by the algorithm and you will get impressions if you don't get clicks or if you get clicks but have a really low retention rate the algorithm will stop recommending your videos is that simple if you have an audience the algorithm will show your videos first to your subscribers and pay close attention here to your returning viewers people who saw some of your videos but didn't subscribe yet if these people don't click on your recent videos
or don't watch them for a long period of time again the algorithm will stop recommending your videos so you need to understand the big difference between how the algorithm works for new channels and channels with an existing audience how you can make the algorithm work in your favor is by not focusing on the algorithm at all I know crazy but before you create a channel clearly Define what type of content you will make the viewer Persona of your audience what they want to hear learn see and so on that's why I recommend you only start
channels in niches that you're passionate about or have deep knowledge of in that case you can simply think about what kind of videos you would like to see and you already know how the viewer Persona might interact with your videos that's why I chose the gaming Niche and philosophy Niche for myself now the algorithm doesn't care if you post every day exactly at 5:00 p.m. it doesn't care if you post once a month the role of the algorithm will be the same instead think about your audience does your audience want to watch your videos every
day or maybe once every week or even once every month for example if Christopher Nolan decided to create a YouTube channel and post three-hour videos every day with the same quality as Oppenheimer I would most likely not have the time to watch them every day therefore his videos would not go viral every time but if he posts once per month sure 90% of his audience can make the time to watch one video per month so based on your Niche and audience you can come up with a plan in the gaming Niche you can post more
but in the philosophy or Finance Niche where people who consume your content don't have that much time to stay on YouTube you can post less the algorithm only cares about one thing showing videos that might be of interest to someone and having them watch that video for as long as possible the algorithm doesn't care about posting hour topic length and so on if you make a video that people can't go to sleep without watching you will get views so here are the things you need to focus on again so it gets ingrained in your brain
focus on the viewer and think of content that is either entertaining or educational that would make the viewer wonder what they would miss if they don't click on your video do deep research on your Niche see where there is a market Gap how you can reinvent viral videos and add your own tweets to them and what's your Edge in that Niche is it your experience in that Niche your personality your editing skills anything if you don't have any Edge try to find a different Niche post at least 10 deeply researched videos and give the algorithm
time to push your videos to the Right audience some videos start popping only after like 3 to 4 weeks so it takes time after those 10 videos see if you need to change your approach or analyze what you can do better moving forward if nothing worked it's time to change the niche or the format of your content think about YouTube as investing not day trading you want to get at least 20 to 30% of your existing audience to watch every single one of your videos that's how you can make this work long term if you
constantly change your format and style in every single video you will lose followers and not make a stable income and audience that's why you need to give it at least 10 videos to know if something works or not but more on this topic in another video focus on the viewer what they haven't seen yet or haven't seen from your perspective like I said in other videos you can take other viral videos that worked and make them shorter longer or overall better in terms of production there are infinite options for you to Kickstart your career but
focusing on the algorithm will not make a difference now if you want to learn even more about these ideas and topics check out these other videos if you're serious about growing your YouTube channel join my free newsletter in the description or you can choose to work with me directly one on one
