if you're sick of getting less views than pornhub's terms and conditions page I use four steps to grow this channel from literally zero to nearly 5,000 Subs with just one video and I want to help you use this four-step formula for your channel because it also helped me get this video to over 150,000 views also on a channel that literally had zero subscribers took this video to 1. 2 million views got this video over a million views in just 27 days and I have loads more examples like this in different niches many on Channels with zero subscribers so let's walk through this formula step by step so you can start getting more views first thing we need to fix the mistake that's keeping your view count lower than my self-esteem after an Instagram Doom scroll and to do that we need to go back to August 2015 so I start my very first YouTube channel work for an entire year posting 65 different videos to get a whopping 150 subscribers then I remember one day I was sitting at the dinner table and my uh health conscious mom shall we say was serving up her latest monstrosity zucchini spaghetti now you're thinking Marcus what the hell does zucchini spaghetti have to do with getting more on YouTube well I'll tell you see now my younger brother Luca absolutely despised zucchini and so this dish wasn't exactly a hit with it but Mom didn't care she liked zucchini it was healthy and she decided she was going to make Luca like it too and Mom tried everything different spices strand thicknesses sauces temperatures but no matter what she did Luca's plate remained untouched I remember sitting there just thinking Mom Luca clearly does not like zucchini spaghetti instead of trying to make this dish 26 different ways why don't you just make a completely different dish that doesn't involve zuc but that's also healthy so it's a win-win but what I didn't realize is I was doing the exact same thing on my YouTube channel and it was stopping me from getting views see when I started YouTube I had ideas for videos that I wanted to make metaphorically these ideas were my zucchini spaghetti and when these ideas got seven views each like my mom I tried to find the secret Source the magic thumbnail the title the setting the editing trick the killer keyword whatever that would make my videos go viral and I was so deep into this Rabbit Hole I didn't realize that I was just polishing a turd so if I just ditched my zucchini spaghetti esque video idea and instead creative videos around ideas that were proven to go viral but that also were fun to make I would have blown up my channel in weeks and when I started doing that I went from getting 15 Subs a month to over 1,500 Subs a month in the course of 6 weeks so Marcus what makes for these proven video ideas you speak of I hear you ask great question that brings us to the first step in our method for example take a look at this video 2. 3 million views posted 10 months ago on a channel that only had 85,000 subscribers now this video idea has some very specific attributes that make get a proven viral idea and in a sec I'll go over what those attributes are but quickly now check out this video NBA players caught cheating 2.
3 million views posted 9 months ago on a Channel with 600k Subs but now look at this video 5 months ago 4. 1 million views on a Channel with 27,000 subs and remember this is how many Subs this channel has after blowing up a video to 4. 1 million views chances are they had a few hundred if that when they first posted this video now if you go watch all these different videos I've listed you'll find that the content is very different but because they're all packaged around this viral video idea they all get a ton of views relative to their Channel size so I want to show you the best method I've found to uncover these proven viral ideas for your Niche and what specific attributes you need to look for so you know your video has the best chance possible of going viral but quickly if the thought of modeling proven ideas sounds unethical to you take a look at this super unique video from MrBeast oh wait no actually he he copied this video this was actually done 2 years ago with almost the exact same thumbnail and title well how about Eric the epitome of originality and not video oh oh wait no never mind this video was done 4 years ago or how about Ryan Tran probably the least hated and most original Creator on the oh no wait he copied this video from this one posted 2 years ago and look I'm not bashing these guys I've done this exact same thing I'm just trying to illustrate here that even though this tactic isn't sexy to talk about all the big creators are doing this and if you're not doing this it's probably why you're not getting views so here's how to identify viral ideas for your Niche first you want to go to this website V.
C I'll leave a link below but V is a tool I've been building since September last year that helps you find viral video ideas for your Niche now because custom building software is freaking expensive Val does cost 25 bucks to use but don't leave the video just yet because later I'm going to show you how to apply the exact same process I'm about to reveal but do it completely for free it's just going to take you more time to do so first things first if you loog into video you're going to land on a screen like this and what you're going to do is come to this search bar and type in a very general umbrella term related to your Niche so for me on this channel you're watching right now I do YouTube education videos so I could type like YouTube education or I could just just type in something like get more views since that's something everyone in my Niche wants to do and hit enter and V will return video ideas that have viral attributes you can copy now we're going to refine our search way more and get much better ideas than this but whatever your Niche is you're doing Minecraft bedwars your keyword would be Minecraft if you're showing people how to create Shopify stores your keyword could be make money online or online business and you can try multiple different keywords to see which ones get you the best results but let me walk you through live right now how to actually find a viral video idea so for this example let's just imagine that I am a cooking Enthusiast so for a channel like the term I might answer would be like cooking or food so let's just try cooking now already it's going to start showing me some pretty interesting video ideas but me personally I have some specific attributes that I look for in viral ideas and to find those what I'm going to do is come out to this filters button and these are the settings I'm going to do so the first thing is I'm going to come to the multiplier score here and I'm going to bring that to 2. 5 so what this does it shows us videos that stand out from the crowd so for example let's say that a channel posts 10 videos and all 10 of those videos get 100, views now let's imagine it posts an 11th video and that 11th video gets 250,000 views that 11th video is 2.
