The KEY To Getting Tons of Views on YouTube
Here's what many people mistakenly overlook...
Whether you like it or not
There is only one metric on YouTube that really matters
What is it?
Views…
Views offer a channel the following benefits:
Subscriber growth
Offer traffic
Brand awareness
Ad revenue etc.
Basically all of the rewards that would prompt someone to start a channel
The trouble is that generating a significant amount of views is easier said than done
However, it’s even harder when you knowingly (but probably unknowingly) sabotage your video’s success without even knowing it…
Do I have your attention now? Good!
A concept that’s important to understand when trying to generate high view counts on your channel is the “Addressable Market”
This is how many people your video can serve
Typically, when an addressable market is small
The total view potential is small
An example would be a channel that makes videos for left-handed golfers in Chile
When a large addressable market is targeted
The potential for views increases significantly
An example of this would be content targeted at fat loss
Where many channels go wrong is that they target these small addressable markets and then wonder why their videos fail to generate any views
Take this video for example:
A helpful video no doubt but how many people are they really addressing?
Put another way, how many people on YouTube are sitting around with $1 million in the bank
Likely few…
This means there’s a small addressable market for this video
And the view count supports that fact…
But if we flip the script and look at a similar idea that taps into a larger addressable market the results are quite different
It’s much easier to address a large viewing audience with content around investing “small” or “tiny” amounts of money
Why?
Because this is a lower bar for people to overcome in order for the video to be relevant to them (i.e. everyone has at least a bit of money to invest)
So the next time you’re uploading a video think to yourself, “how many people can this video really serve”
If it’s few then you may want to reconsider…
I am opening up 3 spots for channel reviews between now and the end of the week (Note: not free)
If you want the details, reply to this email “review” and I’ll personally get back to you
Chat tomorrow,
