0 ➜ 1,000 Subscribers in 7 Days with 1 Video: Here’s How

this channel hit 1,100 subscribers in just 7 days with a single video which sounds pretty impressive right but what if I told you this was becoming more and more common it takes the average Creator between 50 and 150 videos to hit their first 1,000 subscribers but in just a few minutes of YouTube exploration I have found three channels that have hit 1,000 subscribers with their first video all of which has left me wondering how do creators like Ace get 1,000 subscribers so so fast when so many other channels take months even years for the past

week I've been investigating this single video on AC's Channel and what I discovered is that he used three unique strategies to make that video go viral so today I want to take you step by step through each of those strategies so that you can hit 1,000 subscribers with your next video that's right not your 100th video your next video but the best part is you don't need to be a YouTube genius with a ton of experience everything I'm going to take you through is simple and easy to follow even if you just getting started so

the first strategy Ace used is what I like to call demand hacking this process dramatically increases the chances of your video going viral before you even press record it's kind of like a cheat code that gives your video an unfair advantage to perform well on YouTube and it works by making sure that your videos already have a hungry audience at this point you probably already aware of the importance of picking a niche for your channel right we here at vid Q have been preaching this for years but that's just a start you also need to

make sure that you're picking a viral sub Niche because your sub Niche can be the difference between getting a 100,000 views on your first video or barely cracking a thousand 100 or even 10 views take a look at this channel as an example of the average Creator this channel is in the gaming Niche much like AC's Channel but like Cas they've posted around about 25 videos over the last year and they haven't yet cracked 500 subscribers not terrible just distinctly average now one of the reasons for this is because they haven't got a clear sub

Niche that is proven to go viral they're making videos about game controllers and then League of Legends and then Call of Duty this severely limits the chance of a Channel Growing fast because without a clear sub Niche all you're going to do is confuse the YouTube algorithm otherwise known as your audience typically YouTube likes channels that consistently create content within a specific Niche and this is because it allows the algorithm to know which audience to recommend the videos too by contrast if we look at AC's Channel we can tell within a few seconds what sub

Niche he's in all the videos are about Dota 2 and League of Legends and what this allows a viewer to say to themselves within seconds is ah this channel this video was made for me but not only has Ace picked a clear sub Niche he's also made sure that that sub Niche has a proven demand if we do a quick search on how many views both of these games are pulling in we can see that even today they get millions and millions of views basically put before Ace even makes his first video his channel has

a better chance of going viral but it's not just a sub Niche that made this video explode it's also the video format one mistake YouTubers often make is just leaping into the video making process without any thought or Preparation they pick videos that haven't gone through any validation process or rigorous amount of research when you do that the chances of a video performing well are extremely low Ace on the other hand is smart I believe he did Research into his sub Niche and found a video format that was already working and it's the same technique

some of the biggest creators on YouTube used today for example take a look at this video here the reason this video went viral is because the format was proven to work in that sub Niche all you need to do is a quick search on YouTube for meet the most blank en player and you'll find at least five examples of that format going viral and it looks like Ace followed the exact same strategy when we do a quick search for DOTA versus League of Legends on YouTube we find this video this video has 1 million views

by contrast the channel has 10,000 subscribers and this is what we like to call in the biz an outlier this is when a video has a huge amount of views in comparison to the number of subscribers on the channel and by a very convenient coincidence the vid IQ browser extension includes a Nifty little outlier tool that shows you when videos are performing exceptionally well for a channel make sure to download it and give it a go yourself we've left the link in the video description and this is a perfect sign that the video format is

worth testing but that's not all after a little bit more digging we find another outlier video on the same topic it has over 12,000 views when a channel typically averages 30,000 views per video this gave a concrete prove that the video format was going viral and it meant that if he created a video comparing DOTA and League of Legends it had a good chance of Performing well and it did it took off and within 7 Days the channel had 1,000 subscribers and so if you want to emulate the same level of success then adopt the

demand hack strategy find a sub Niche that has proven Demand by searching YouTube and looking for videos that have already going viral and you don't have to reinvent the YouTube wheel find proven formats that are working for other channels and use them in your own videos but this first strategy is just the tip of the iceberg thousands of channels out there that pick a sub Niche and a viral video format and yet they don't get a th000 subscribers in their first video or first few videos so what did Ace do to make his video go

viral well it's through the second strategy that we start to see the Real Genius behind Ace's first video and it starts with a very common topic the title and the thumbnail now you might think at a glance this is nothing special but don't be fooled Ace is a genius at understanding human psychology and making those thumbnails and titles clickable and one of the ways he does this is by censoring the thumbnail around one human emotion and the reason this works so well is because emotion drives action for example when we get angry the first and

immediate thing we want to do is to hit or shout or scream at something this is because emotions often trigger an instinctive response and you you can use this understanding of human psychology to make your video packaging far more exciting and instinctive to click for example Sunny V2 has centered this video packaging around one emotion drama it's an extremely powerful emotion to tap into and when you tease dramatic events it stirs up something inside you it forces a sense of fomo into you fear of missing out and compels you to click to find out what's

happened to one of the most popular creators on YouTube you need a resolution to this emotion and the only way to do that is to click and find out what happens next so if we go back to Ace and his thumbnail on his first video he's doing something quite similar but the emotion he's tapping into is curiosity to make you click if you're a fan of either game then it's likely you've heard of the other game and so you're curious about a detail comparison between the two this Sparks the Curiosity an emotional itch that you

need to scratch which can only be satisfied with a click these two strategies are by far the most important ones to help you hit 1,000 subscribers in just 7 days and the reason is pretty simple if you can't get viewers to click on your videos then nothing else matters but once they do click there is one big challenge still left to overcome it's no good a viewer starting a video if they don't finish it and one of the ways Ace got more of his viewers to watch until the end was by crafting the perfect YouTube

script so I've got a little bit of homework for you go watch that video after you finish watching this video of course even if you're not into those games or gaming at all you should be able to appreciate a good script it's smooth it's engaging and critically it delivers on exactly the promise of a video and all of this got me wondering how does a YouTuber with seemingly no previous experience write the perfect YouTube script on their very first video at first of all maybe you just paid attention in English class but after after reading

the video breakdown in his own Reddit post it all became clear he used a very common script writing hack that's rarely spoken about on YouTube and this technique is more than a century old it's called copyrighting and when Ace said he used to be a copywriter for three years before starting his YouTube channel it all start to make a lot more sense copywriting is a form of persuasive text that's designed to capture and hold the audience's attention it's how many magazine articles have been written for over a century it's how blogs have been written for

the last 20 years and copywriting can be turned into scripts like the one I'm referencing here traditionally copywriting was used in advertising to make people buy stuff but it's also a potent skill to have in your arsenal when making amazing YouTube videos now Ace is not alone in being an expert copyrighting YouTuber and big creators like Ali abdal have been speaking about the impact that copyrighting has on YouTube scripts that helps videos gain millions of views but what specific copyrighting techniques did Ace use in his video to make it so effective first up is writing

a great hook after the title and the thumbnail by far the most important part of the video is those first few valuable seconds in that time you need to convince your audience that the video was worth clicking on and in this video Ace used a threep park hook to suck you in he starts by making a bold claim around the video topic to grab your attention D two in League of Legends are two of the biggest mobile games in the world then he dismisses other ideas around the topic to downplay because of this these games

are often compared to each other in almost every aspect character design art style monetization Esports fan service you name it he does this so that when he finally presents his perspective it seems new fresh and interesting but one of the key differences between the two is how they treat one of the core aspects of mobile games well most mobile games cool the reason this works so effectively is because the human brain craves new information by dismissing the common and traditional differences between these two games League of Legends and DOTA he is then able to present

his New Perspective Which is far more exciting and this gives the viewer a very strong reason to keep watching the next technique is research what research allows you the Creator to be is at least one step ahead of a viewer that means you definitely know what you're talking about in the viewer's opinion and it's relevant to what they're interested in if you don't have that credibility the viewer is just not going to hang around and if the viewer doesn't really trust you then all the editing and VIs ual effects in the world aren't going to

save your video research your topic find out the information your viewer is interested in and present it in a new way that's never been seen before on YouTube this is exactly what Ace did and it's why his script is so engaging to his audience and the last technique is to edit that copyrighting script like a mad person aca's script is incredibly well polished and very easy to understand but I can pretty much guarantee it didn't start out that way Ace mentioned in his Reddit post that he edit the scripts over and over and over again

so what you might call pre-production this allows him to find new opportunities fix errors just generally improve the script one of the first ways to do this is to complete the first draft of the script as quickly as possible don't worry too much about perfecting this script to begin with just get all of the ideas out of your head onto the proverbial piece of paper and you can go through the process of editing over and over and over again until you feel it's perfect and then once you have mastered Dem demand hacking titles thumbnails copyrighting

that perfect hook now you can start to focus on editing the video and in the past 12 months we've seen quite a shift in how new upcoming creators edit their videos so I highly recommend you watch this video next where we show you this new way of editing to maximize the growth of your Channel
