Recently I've noticed a handful of YouTube videos going viral despite the fact that their channel was started less than a month ago somehow they've been able to beat the YouTube algorithm and surpass the monetization threshold in a matter of weeks no paid promotion no outside traffic so the big question is how are they doing it in this video.

 


 I will dissect what is actually working on YouTube today and give you a no step-by-step guide to beat the YouTube algorithm so you can grow a profitable online income source and that starts with understanding the stats when you post your first YouTube video the first 72 hours will likely be a bit slow but you won't be paying attention to two very important things your average view duration and your click-through rate according to information I found online the average click-through rate numbers fall somewhere between two and ten percent per video or for everyone 100 times that your thumbnail is shown two to ten people actually click in and watch average view durations fall somewhere between 25 and 50 of the video so if a video is four minutes long then the viewer sticks around for one to two minutes for the viral account once I showed you at the beginning of this video those stats looked a lot different their click-through rates in the first 72 hours is well above that 10 number and their average view duration is closer to 70 even.

 

 Mr. Beast the most successful You Tuber on the planet says that he aims to make his average view duration to be about 70 days three to five is usually when these videos will start to pop off and go viral but while the example videos virility lasted for weeks most videos on YouTube will only be pushed for a day or two to understand why we need to look at three very Important metrics the views to like Ratio the views to comment ratio and the views to subscriber ratio the average ratio I found online for views to likes were 1 in every 25 roughly four percent the typical comment to V ratio was around one comment for every 200 views or 0.5 percent and it was an average of one sub for every 200 views also 0.5 percent so your goal is to remain as far above these average numbers as possible while YouTube pushes your video out but it's easier said than done what was it about those first few channels that were so good and so interesting to beat all those averages the answer is surprisingly quite simple quality most information on the internet right now is all about.

 

 How to make money using AI to automate your channel but none of the videos that are crushing it and going viral right now on YouTube are using AI automated content they're all made with tons of strategy and high quality editing to keep the user engaged for as long as possible none of this was on accident let me explain when we think about creating a video we need to make sure that we're creating it from the perspective of the viewer what do they want what do they like and what's going to get them to actually click on the video so with that the thumbnail and title always come first the thumbnail and title are your only chance to get someone to click on your video and if they suck then your video is going to suck no matter how good it is if you want to achieve a higher click-through rate than the average two to ten percent then you're going to have to master this you want your title to tell your audience.

 

 what the video will be about with the highest level of intrigue possible but how do we do this look at these thumbnails that went viral what do you notice about them they're all extremely simple most people get guided and want to tell their entire story with a thumbnail but in reality less is more Simplicity and entry that's the goal it's a good idea to make two options and then ask family and friends which they prefer but you can also come to a website called thumbs up TV here you can upload your thumbnail hand title to see exactly how they will appear on YouTube you can even toggle back and forth between light and dark mode that way you can see how it will contrast in both versions one thing you need to keep in mind about thumbnails and titles is that you need to actually deliver on the promise you're making to the viewer.

Who clicks in to watch your video otherwise you’ll just lose your audience they'll click out of your video and they won't subscribe which all plays into the metrics we were talking about earlier this takes us to our next step which is writing the actual script the script is the soul of your video after reviewing the viral videos mentioned earlier each of them were made using some pretty basic writing skills that we all probably learned in high school it starts with an outline we have our intro and then each section with the points and resources we want to share the hardest part of scripting is certain the first 30 seconds which is called the hook this is one of the most important parts because it's where your audience will just side if they want to stay and watch or not so it better be good most channels lose people here when it comes to riding a hook there's no perfect formula but we can study these viral videos and it becomes clear that each hook does the following it gets to the point it tells the audience.

 

 what they will see in the video and it does these two things above while creating a high level of Entry the rest of your script needs to deliver on those promises and in these sections you definitely can use Ai and chat gpt to write more informatively and you might be able to on your own next we need to focus on the editing and here we have a few options you can either use an AI tool to populate a video for you which I don't recommend you can spend hours editing it yourself or you can hire an expert to do it for you now there are pros and cons to each but if you're like me and you're not a great editor you want to save some time while having.

 


The best quality again quality being most important here and you probably need to hire an expert to do this for you but that doesn't just mean paying some guy on Fiverr and sending your audio and script and give yourself like a director you should be thinking about what kind of transitions text Motion Graphics sound effects background music you want and then articulate it to them the best you can once your video is done you should show it to at least five people you trust before posting it on YouTube ask them to be brutally honest about.

 

 where they get bored where they lose interest and where they just generally don't think you are interesting enough keep making adjustments and if you follow this process and execute it well you're going to be light years ahead of all this AI generated garbage flooding YouTube lately While most people out there are focused on quantity your focus should always be on quality thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe for more no ways to make money online
