The TRUTH About Going Viral As A Small YouTube Channel
Here's what you need to know...
Building a YouTube channel is a lot like rolling a boulder up a hill
At the bottom, you have push relentlessly in order to gain momentum
With even one step back causing the boulder to fall back onto you
This part of the YouTube process builds both character and consistency
Which if you ask me are the two traits that are essential to YouTube success
Now, the good news about YouTube is that once you get the boulder up to the peak, everything changes…
As you probably know from running up and down hills as a child (or adult - I don’t judge!)
It’s much easier going downhill than it is upwards…
In the context of YouTube, once you have a few videos take off or reach a critical mass of subscribers growing becomes to much easier
The sad part is that most people never let their channels get to the point where momentum is on their side…
They never enjoy that “boulder rolling down the hill” effect…
Why? Because they succumb to the limiting belief that you can’t go viral as a small channel
Which quite frankly isn’t true…
How do I know this?
Because I’ve seen my students do it time and again…
For example, I just had a student message me this:
His video generated so many views that he thought people were buying views! (which wasn’t at all the case as confirmed by the analytics)
As I’m writing this email, his video has now amassed over 100k views in just 2 days
A result achieved with less than 1,000 subscribers…
“Adam, how did he do it?”
As I teach inside Tube Academy, he identified a low-supply crack video idea
Then emulated it with his own unique style and angle
And the rest is history…
Just this video alone will allow it to meet the YouTube Partner Program requirements
And unlock a new income stream (just a few months after starting YouTube as a beginner)
The lesson? Keep rolling your boulder up the hill - eventually you’ll gain the momentum you need to succeed on YouTube…
Want to learn the same ideation strategies that helped my student generate their first 100k video?
I am opening up 3 new spots inside Tube Academy
Tube Academy is for those who are serious about growing and monetizing their YouTube channel with the goal of turning them into a part-time or full-time income
If you want the details, email me back with the word “tube”
Happy Monday!
