I BLEW UP a YouTube Channel in 7 Days to Prove it's NOT Luck

this is my shorts channel that went viral in just 7 days and I'm here to prove that it was not luck so in this video I'm opening a brand new channel and I will make it go viral in just 7 days so you can start doing the same but for this to work we need to start at the beginning selecting a niche I already have decided on my Niche which is about SpongeBob I know you might think that SpongeBob is just for children but I have found this channel called shower with SpongeBob and you can

see how many views their recent shorts have gotten but we aren't just going to copy their content because there's already so many other channels doing this from just doing some research on Tik Tok I noticed this trend about SpongeBob fan theories and their views are insane another check I've done is come across to YouTube and you can see that there is similar demand across long form and shorts so with this information I think we can create our own Niche which is taking the existing viral fan theories and then using AI voiceovers of SpongeBob to create

our own mini episodes and this is all an efforts to entertain fans to make us go viral I have had success before using AI voiceovers over on my ultra Channel which was focused on AI voiceovers of football players so I don't see why this topic of fan theories would perform any different opening a channel the YouTube channel that I will be using is an old account that was active in the past having an age YouTube channel that is at least 1 week old is essential to get views since my account is old we need to

do some updates firstly the name I like to name my channnel something relevant to my Niche so I'm going to call this Bikini Bottom stories because SpongeBob lives at the bikini bottom okay now our username is updated we need to create channel assets to give a brand to our Channel I recommend only dedicating 15 minutes to creating these assets okay the 18 minutes is done we went slightly over time but the banner looks like this and the profile picture looks like this coming to my channel though it's always a very humbling experience starting from basically

zero and I want to get this message across to you every single time I start a new channel it's from a point like this don't think I have some special tricks that I don't tell you about this whole thing of making money from YouTube shorts is on a fair playing Ground it's just whether you have the experience and knowledge to grow your channel and you can only gain this by trying different experiments just like this so I really recommend that you do something like this where you select a niche and try and make it work

because eventually it will short creation it's time to get serious now it's now time to create our first short and this is the most important step because it's actually how we go viral and I'm going to try speedrun this I wrote my script by downloading a script from a fan theory that I found on Tik Tok and this formed the basis of my script I had to be creative though because it had to be written in SpongeBob's perspective following that we moved into video editing which started off by generating a SpongeBob voiceover then I went

to Tik Tok to find Clips using Tik Tok to find Clips is so underrated for faceless content because all the content is already edited for you I then cut up all the clips together and then added a SpongeBob style like for example these cool transitions finally I finish off the short with sound effects and then captions and that whole process took me just under 2 hours I know that it's a long time but when you're creating your first short in a new Niche the entire process is still new to you I know this time will

pay off though because I'm creating high quality content but it is time to put my money where my mouth is it's upload time I already have named my title something relevant to my video for descriptions we're just going to reword our title and then add a # shorts next I need to select that this content is not made for kids so I don't end up on YouTube kids now tags these are important if you're uploading your first shot so I'm just going to add some that are relevant to SpongeBob and now we just wa it's

Day 2 and we actually got some good results we got just over 12,000 views which is the best case scenario for the first 24 hours on your first sh we still can't see our retention though because they come in after being live for 24 hours but more importantly we got over 100 subscribers from just 12,000 views which is actually average I know you might think that this is high but when you're creating unique content that can only be found on your channel you actually get people wanting more of your content what a surprise my short

is still getting views though so I don't want to create or upload my next short yet as each time I upload a short I want to maximize my Reach For example this short could still go on and get 50,000 views so it's really just a waiting game over the next 1 to 2 days to see how this short performs and if it starts to Flatline of views that is when we create our next short this concept of giving your short time to breathe is something I've been helping members in my private shorts coaching understand so

far the results from my private coaching have been insane take Sade for example I took him from a creator that was struggling to even gain 1,000 views and about to give up to now generating over 20 million views and over $1,000 per week I make results possible for my coaching members because you get access to unreleased niches that will make you go viral on literally your second upload you also get access to weekly coaching calls and private messages with myself where I give you Channel Audits and show you what to do to start going viral

there is so much more value that I haven't mentioned today in my coaching and there's so much more proof that I can show you of my expertise actually getting results if you are interested my website is linked below if you want to learn more day three all right the short is still getting views we are sitting at 16,000 and I still haven't started my second short yet because this short still has not flatlined but what I want to draw your attention to is our retention stats even the all short is 41 seconds long we are

still getting a very high average duration of 36 seconds next time I create my short though I do want to start creating longer shorts closer to the maximum of 59 seconds so I can increase this metric even higher as this metric alone is the sole reason why any YouTube short goes viral day six I know we did miss a few days I just got sidetracked with a few different projects but we are now here to make a comeback the good thing is though is our first short has now flatlined which means it's now time to

create our second short I got straight into creating a short without messing around the script took me just over 15 minutes it was much faster this time because it was about the Krabby party formula which is a very popular topic then it was back into editing I created my voiceover opened it in Premiere Pro I sourced most of my clips from YouTube this time because I was now speaking about specific episode scenes I did sound effects Transitions and captions and then it was done in 1 hour and 30 minutes it's a great feeling finishing this

second short because I think we have a viral short on our hands first ly the hook it is very believable and it immediately confirms what the fan theory is about and I found the perfect clip to match and I will show you it right now Mr Krabs I know the secret ingredient for the crabby patty you better shut your mouth right now and come and I will play you the original clip right now de Krabs I know I put pickles on that crabby patty that two bucks is coming out of your paycheck wait as you

can see my Hawk is very engaging to the audience they act actually think it happened besides from the hook the short is much longer now it currently sits at 49 seconds and this will help us achieve a much higher avd compared to our first sh and finally the video topic as I mentioned we are speaking about the Krabby Patty formula which I think will appeal to a much wider audience compared to our first short which was about SpongeBob getting married but there's only one way to find out it's time to upload our short and I

am slightly nervous about how this short is is going to perform because this entire video that you're watching right now is dependent on how this single short performs like if this short goes on to get zero views I'm going to look like that I don't know what I'm talking about but let's see in the next couple of days if I actually know what I'm talking about sponsored segment if you open a merch store or sell digital products online I do recommend today sponsor dot store domains creators like Mr Beast and isow speed have built incredible

Brands and they choose dot St domains because it makes makes it easy for fans to find their merch it's so important to not have some long link that has no value because as a Creator your name is your brand get your custom name on a do store domain today for $1 using my link listed on screen and linked below day seven it's been 1 day since uploading our second short and I have some results to show you as you can see our second short is performing better than our first but if I go into the

analytics you will see how positive the chart is looking looking we got one push into the algorithm just like our first short but we are starting to see some great movement after the first 24 hours where our views are starting to go exponential I am familiar with this type of movement like every single one of my viral shorts in the past has had this breakout pattern for example take my last Channel Ultras my view chart in the first few days looks something like this and it went on to get over 10 million views so as

you could expect I am very excited to see where the short is going to take us besides our views though our short got 69 subscribers which is currently less than our first short our avd is slightly lower than our first short but you need to remember that this short is slightly longer sitting at just under 50 seconds regardless of this though I do hope it increases as we start to get more views our first short is still flatlined in views which is okay but one thing I want to show you is the comments on our

new short you can see how much engagement we are getting which is great I'm not saying that you should try to get a high number of comments because that doesn't affect how many views you get it's just a good sign that you are engaging with the Right audience something else that is really positive for when we start worrying about monetizing our channel is our audience tab if we come down to my geographies you can see that United States is 50% I have never seen this rate on any of my channels and what it means is

that we will achieve a very high RPM when we monetize our Channel what's even better though is the top four countries are also typically very high paying RPMs but just like my first short I'm going to let the short breathe and perform it's day 12 now which means we are beyond the first 7-Day period but all of the work for the channel was completed in the first seven so please forgive me regardless though the short has been performing very well we are sitting at 43,000 views and the short has been consistently pushed into the algorithm

every hour we have had hours as high as 1,000 all the way down to 80 views once again we are seeing this exponential growth on our chart which is a very promising sign as hoped our av has increased as we have gotten more views and overall this performance is very promising and I'm very excited to see how this short is going to perform over the coming days because I think there's only going to be one outcome which is hundreds of thousands of views the following day so our Channel just received the worst notification that you

can receive on YouTube besides being completely removed and let me show you our content got an age restriction which means our content can only be found on YouTube Kids now and let me show you the impact that this has had on our views already our short immediately flatlined after getting 50,000 views and our views per hour has basically gone to zero I do have the chance to appeal this decision and I will because I obviously didn't create this content just for children I saw Tik toks shorts and long form videos about the fan theories that

weren't just for younger audiences and I am confused about this because our first short was not flagged but I have submitted the appeal and we can only wait and hope now so the appeal got rejected and now you can see where our Short's channel has ended up today our second short ended up getting over 200,000 views since it was eventually pushed into the shorts feed after getting that initial age restriction and honestly based on my intuition this was a short that had so much potential like getting that initial movement after the first 24 hours and

then pushing on to over 50,000 views to me this channel has been a failure though some might consider 200,000 views in 7 days as a great result but the reality with me is that I always plan to get millions of views within the first week of creating a shorts Channel but whether you're being faced with a situation like this or you're getting zero views there is always a silver lining like if you open a channel and it just flops you still had the experience that you can reflect on and learn was your Niche just too

competitive and saturated did you actually use retention techniques to edit your shorts these are the types of questions that you need to reflect on what I learned from this channel was that if you're creating content that could be for whatever reason considered for children you must put this in your channel description it is something that I have been noticing in any large channel that creates content that could be considered for children if you want to get over 200,000 views on your second short uploaded or even over 10 million views like I have done in the

past using the link below you can learn about my private shorts coaching and you can see all the results I have achieved for all of my members
