The 9-Minute Algorithm Hack To Hit 1000 Subscribers Fast

if you're struggling to get more than 100 views on your videos and you feel like the algorithm is ignoring your channel then I have some exciting news yeah it really is that exciting and that's because I've just discovered a secret hack small channels are using to beat the YouTube algorithm and get hundreds of thousands of views on their first few videos like this channel that got three qus of a million views on their first upload or this channel that got nearly a million views and should do soon on their very first video in fact after

more research I found that Hoyos the queen of YouTube shorts used this exact strategy to go from literally zero to over 1 billion views on YouTube but this hack will not only get you more views it will help your channel get monetization faster than the average Creator so let's break this down step by step starting with identify your core audience profile after spending hours breaking down why these channels grew so fast one thing became clear they have a deep understanding of how the algorithm chooses what videos to go vir and it's because they understand something

called audience profiles let me explain and we'll do this through the medium of circles let's imagine this big circle is your channel and these small circles around your channel are your audience profiles now audience profiles are simply groups of people that like similar video topics for example one audience profile could be people who like side hustle videos another could be people who want to Achieve Financial Freedom or increase their productivity so when you publish a new video the algorithm will test it with a few different audience profiles that are likely to enjoy your videos it

does this by matching your titles descriptions and what you say in your videos with the topics that these audiences are interested in for example imagine your channel is about gardening if you post a video about five easy plants for beginners the algorithm will test it with viewers who showed interest in gardening or Home Improvement topics but here's the critical part the algorithm will only push your video further if it performs well with these initial test audiences it determines this based on factors like watch time engagement click-through rate whether previous viewers of your content are returning

to watch this new video This is why maintaining a channel Niche is crucial when you constantly make videos for the same type of viewer you get better at satisfying that audience you're also training the algorithm to understand your content and know exactly who would enjoy watching it channels like Frankie C poker who hit nearly a million views on their first video stick to a specific nich and topic they constantly creating content that appeals to a particular audience profile making it easier for the algorithm to understand who might be interested in their videos but if Franky

suddenly posted a video about one of his other passions let's say gardening for example the algorithm would struggle to find the Right audience let's be honest high stakes poker and gardening is not a typical or natural fit so how can you get a deeper understanding of who your audience profiles are so that you can create more consistent and targeted content well it's actually pretty simple and I'll show you how to do it in less than a few minutes with a little bit of help from AI we have a link in the description of this video

to a document called getting to know your audience now the most important thing you need to do with this document is Click file and then make a copy so you can edit this on your own Google account then start filling out the questions to create who you think the ideal viewer of your content is if you're struggling with any of these questions try using vid iq's AI coach to help you answer the questions using the prompts suggested at the bottom of this document doing this exercise will ground you with a much better understanding of hopes

dreams goals desires obstacles fears and pain points of the type of people you want to connect with through your videos whenever you come up with new video ideas look at this document and ask yourself does this idea resonate with my target audience but all of this still leaves us with one big question now that you know who your target audience is how do you make content they actually enjoy well after I compared these channels side by side side I noticed they were both using datadriven strategies to make videos they knew Their audience would absolutely love

and that's by recreating outlier video formats now if you're a regular here at vid IQ you might be thinking yeah yeah I know about outliers because we've been talking about this topic extensively over the last few months but I've realized that we've missed one critical step because simply copying and pasting outli videos doesn't always work for example notice how the second two videos here didn't perform na it as well as the first video here well this is a common problem people face when recreating outlier videos so now let's touch on how to find outlier videos

but also talk about the missing piece of this jigsaw puzzle so that the same problems don't happen to you when you're recreating outlier videos to give you a crash course in outlier videos if you have a vid IQ browser extension installed you'll see this number next to videos and it represents the outlier score for example this video performed 26 times better than average for this Channel and I'm sure you'll agree 5 a half th000 views for a Channel with less than 500 subscribers is pretty awesome and if you want to do a deep dive search

you can use the outlier tool in vid iq's web app to search for a topic and then it will list video after video after video that's a proven outlier for a YouTube channel there is of course a link in the description to use these tools should you want to try them yourself they are a shortcut to viral video ideas that are proven to work which you should consider remaking in your own style with your own audience but here's what channels like out of bounds are doing to take this one step further and guarantee their videos

go viral if we take a look at their second video it's based around this outlier from a completely different Niche and the reason this works so well is because it allows channels to tap into proven outlier formats while still feeling fresh in their own Niche this is an extremely powerful strategy that can help you hit your first viral video but there is one last thing you need to do to prevent your channel spiraling back down to below average views and that's to optimize your content for return viewers this is because YouTube have repeatedly released statements

just like this our recommendation system otherwise known as the algorithm aims to offer viewers more videos and channels they're likely to enjoy if viewers are returning to your channel regularly to watch more they're more likely to be recommended more of your videos in the future so you know when you watch a video but you don't subscribe to the channel and then the next time you come on to YouTube you see another video from that channel you didn't subscribe to right over the top of your home feed yeah that's the algorithm or YouTube's recommendation system at

work this proves that returning viewers is a key metric VI algorithm users to decide whether to recommend your videos or not so now that we know this how do you increase your return viewer rate well one of the best ways to do this is by creating content buckets in fact in a recent interview we did with Jenny Hoyos she revealed how this exact strategy helped her grow her channel to 4 million subscribers in just a few years so I'll let her explain how they work buckets is probably like 90% of like creating returning viewers so

buckets are repeatable formats and I try to keep mine very similar titled for example my bucket would be $1 fast food item versus restaurant so it would be like $1 burrito $1 Boba $1 everything basically and because everything is titled inst structured and formatted and the video is very similar like all the videos are metad datally linked YouTube can easily be like oh the viewer liked when she made $1 pizza oh they're going to like when she makes a $1 sandwich or a $1 Burger it's very easy for YouTube to understand what your viewer is

going to want to watch next so the goal with returning viewers is to make videos that your viewer is probably going to watch next and you do that through structure format and metadata such as title if you're uploading once a week I think two to four buckets is really reasonable so basically what Jenny is saying is that there are certain types of videos that will consistently perform well on your Channel your job is to find these formats and then repeat them as many times as possible until they stop performing for example let's take a look

at this channel they have 30,000 subscribers but recently hit a massive outlier golden retriever meets terrified rescue puppy that go over 1 million views and so what they did is immediately take that main video concept golden retriever meets blank and twisted it slightly for other videos and as you can see they've had hit multiple viral videos using the same format so this is the perfect and purest form of what we call a Content bucket and this channel should keep posting this format until it stops working however the inevitable truth is this strategy only works if

you're able to get a viral video in the first place and we briefly touched on outlier research in this video but if you want a much more in-depth guide then I highly recommend you watch this video where I will walk you through a powerful tool that will help you find outli videos in just a few minutes
