hi mizkif

This video really shows how vital marketing is. KZreadrs go on length about the strength of thumbnails and titles but marketing your videos doesn't seem to be discuss as much. I genuinely feel like you could learn how to make better videos, better thumbnails and better titles just by studying youtube and making content. However, when it comes to getting your videos in front of people I don't think that's a skill you can learn by just making videos.

quick guide: 1. Write a script about your 'buddy top 30 streamer' 2. Pay someone to do a video for you 3. Pay the 'Buddy top 30 streamer' to review the video on stream total cost ~$600 +your time and your 'besties top 30' streamers time

The hardest part about creating a new KZread channel is finding time for the grind. If your not a full time content creator and don’t have 100% of your time to put into a KZread channel it makes it twice as hard. Posting a regular unambitious video once a month wont make your channel grow at all without insane luck. What a lot of content creators seem to forget with these challenges is that normal people don’t have all day to make KZread videos. Im not saying it’s impossible for new creators to build a following, I’m saying that new creators must put all the time they have into a channel if they want to ever go full time. How can a student or someone who works long shifts as a doctor ever find time to upload 4-5 videos a day.

I'm not entirely okay with this. This video is surely helpful, it shows some tricks about titles, thumbnails and tools to make your content more appealing to the viewers and the algorithm. It also tries to show that it's not about luck but "skill" (let's call it that). However, it comes from a very privileged point of view. Not everyone can afford to spend 600 dollars on their first video and even tho nobody would need to spend 130 dollars for the voice over, they still would need a microphone and right equipment to do it. Also, someone who just started will need practice on how to talk, how to write a script and generally how to make a story that is coherent enough to have sense and which has a message or proves a point at the end. I understand trying to make the video simple, but I feel like Ludwig has overseen important aspects of creating a yt channel from scratch.

For this i think NinJimi gave the right idea: network. But on top of that i think consistency is also a game changer in this industry. But yeah, network is the main thing every creator should look for. Put me as an example: when I tried to be a streamer - just quit the streaming job because i found out that was not what i want in my life - i've got like from 6 to 16 viewers daily (who actually was engaging and chatting in my stream). I've got that because i had some friends and acquaintances that liked my personality and enjoyed what they were seeing. At the end of my "career" i was already getting some strangers in my livestreams and some ganks from famous streamers in my country. Networking, Consistency and Creativity. Do what you want, share your project and keep improving it and bringing new ideas.

@@xChitenshi I think people forget that if you are trying to start up as a streamer or content uploader, you're essentially starting up your own business. A lot of people have an issue with putting some money up to advertise their content, but business owners have to promote all the time. It's the same concept, if you want to stream as a job then you have to treat it like a business. To be fair, starting up a business as a streamer is a lot cheaper than starting up a business with a shop in a physical location. Ludwig also made a good point, you don't need to pay for editors or voice actors (he had to get a voice actor because his voice would be recognized and he got an editor because he has other channels and a steam to handle), he even made it a point that you can easily "get" the editing software you need. Honestly, it just comes down to putting the effort. People can't expect to grow big without putting money into their business. If a video blows up in a few hours compared to others, it means they have done some form of marketing on the internet or even in their social life, and that they probably had a good video out.

-Bait people with title -Use a well known kinda famous person for thumbnails -mention "how xyz made bazzilion dollars" to grab attention and give small tubers hope -if you can't edit,hire a editor to create a good looking video

Great video concept. Honestly, that video was pretty gas… good content and some eyes on it = growth I guess.

So hopefully this isn't taken negatively but here's some feedback for how I perceived it: I decided to check out your channel real quick and watched the very beginning of your two latest videos. The first one starts with a really annoying sound of the camera being put down, which really isn't good at the start of a video, that sound annoys me and makes me wanna leave rather than catch my attention. The second-to-last video (donating your hair) is in a quiet room with just you talking, but has an annoying loud level of white noise behind. I'm really sensitive to sounds. It sounds really cheap. It's ok in the car and all but at the very beginning I feel like in a quiet room in your own space I would expect really good sound. Rest of the video seems fine, the hair cutting and all, but here's just the reason why I, personally, was immediately kind of reluctant to keep watching on my part. I know it's dumb reasons but... yeah. That's me. Hopefully this is useful in any way.

The key takeaway for me from this is that this can’t be done with just any topic. This could work only because it was tailored made to talk about a popular streamer.

Yes it cannot be with just any topic, you just need to know what you are talking about.

Every business' market is limited to the consumers who make up the market, it's not just a KZread thing. Ludwig's chosen topic was just something in high demand, and it showed with how many people came to see it. The key point I see being made here is to market something towards those who want it. As long as the quality is there, anyone could find a streamer who is interested in their topic and donate to get them to watch it for exposure.

@@mattmurphy7030 But that kind of *is* my point. This video's main point when all is said and done is "pick something popular", which is pretty obvious. But personally I'm more interested in what can be done to get the largest audience possible for one (or any) given topic. And to be fair this video does give a lot in that regard, so it is still very useful. But at the same time its primary advice isn't one that is relevant to anyone that is passionate about a given topic, or would only be interested in creating videos pertaining to something specific, especially if that topic isn't wildly popular.

There are hundreds and hundreds of small channels that never get the attention they deserve. Hundreds of creators post quality content and aren't getting the views that you do. That alone proves that there is absolutely a huge luck factor. The fact that some of the top creators in KZread, like fucking Mr Beast, all say "yeah man it's mostly skill" is literally like a millionaire saying that the free market is fair and equal. Its crazy that you and other's don't see that. This video insinuates that the KZread algorithm, in this messy, undecipherable state is perfectly okay, and it perfectly puts quality content from quality creators in the spotlight fair and equally. It doesn't. Instead of just sitting with what we have, restoring to shoving trendy, uncreative content in the face of a twitch streamer just to get it popular, what we should be doing is forcing KZread to actually design an algorithm that benefits the creators who put actual effort in, not just pay their way through everything, and not just getting lucky. This video proves nothing. "Online lore" got lucky.

I'll tell you where the luck is. the Skill itself. No new youtuber will have the same skill as you who've already made it. Once you've made it, you already know what to do and are therefore doomed/blessed to make any video you make perform better than any new channel that don't have an experience and skill.

To the point where the "do not recommend channel" feature doesn't work at all because if you're trying to keep meta content out of your feed there's dozends if not hundreds of similar garbage channels replacing the one you just removed.

The problem with keeping the OnlineLore channel is that it definitely has the potential to exceed the Ludwig channel, assuming you keep making the same type and quality of content for it. The Ludwig channel is mostly driven by people interested in Ludwig. You're either interested in the goings-on of Ludwig (in which case you subscribe), or you're not (in which case you don't). But with OnlineLore, you have the potential to rope in anyone who is interested in any content creator you make a video about, or people who are just interested in content creators in general. Much larger potential audience, and larger potential watchtime.

@@Maric18 All Ludwig proved is that you either, get noticed by a big creator (by any means necessary: money, clout chasing, ego stroking) and get lucky enough that they promote your channel. Or get lucky and get picked up by the algorithm. No matter whether the video is good or bad if a creator tells their audience to support a channel, they will. Ludwig didn't even try to maintain his acquired audience he had to pay for.

@@gear2902 he crafted a product that he knows would be marketable and then invested money into marketing it there is very little luck, you can absolutely do the same in making something that a streamer will react to and then paying that streamer for exposure you "just" need to make something that is high quality enough and marketable, not something that is good and luck. Uber/airbnb are losing a hell of a lot of money in their attempt to gain exposure, other services with less marketing did not. 0% luck, its slightly pay to win, but you need the skills to do the marketing and the skills to make somethin decent.

14:40 why did all the views come 3 days after and all of the searches come 3 days after? Well ludwig was on podcasts promoting that he made this video so people starting searching it, this is pretty misleading, only after people starting searching it did he get the “algorithm views”😂

Hey, I just want to point out while the content itself was definitely top notch and that there is definitely a lot of skill that goes into it, there is still the issue that it usually takes a catalyst before a video takes off from a small content creator. If it wasn't for that shoutout from Miz the video would have most likely not have been picked up by the algorithm. Luck does actually play a huge role in the algorithm and there are thousands of qualified content creators that make fantastic content that go unnoticed because they haven't been given a chance yet.

While this is true in this specific case, donating it for promotion is mostly necessary to reach the arbitrary goal of 1k views in 1 day. If you're actually making an entire channel of good content and don't have any money to invest in distribution efforts, you can promote it it for free in other ways that will lead to better recognition by the algorithm over time.

​@@labradfordjackson7623 Here's the thing, getting your content in front of someone prominent is HUGELY dependent on luck. Most larger content creators are constantly inundated with notifications and tags, and they definitely don't check all of them or read all of their comments or emails. I have actually had a bit of exposure from a larger content creator, and it was almost entirely luck. For context, I primarily make cello covers of soundtracks. I had made a cello cover from the show Legend of Korra, which I tweeted out to the composer Jeremy Zuckerman. He happened to see the video and really liked it, and shared it with all of his Twitter followers, one of whom is the composer and KZreadr Samuel Kim (1.1m subs). After working with Samuel for a while, he gave me a shoutout and I got a lot more exposure suddenly, doubling my subscriber count in a week and increasing my views by literally 999%. None of this would have happened if my initial video was ignored by Jeremy Zuckerman! I owe a lot of my current status as a content creator to these two men, and I am so thankful that Jeremy Zuckerman is such a kind person and enthusiastic about fan-made content. This situation was also an anomaly. 95% of the time when I make a cover and do everything I can to tag and tweet out my video to the composer/creator, it just gets ignored. That's just the way it is, and it can be absolutely brutal for up and coming content creators who are essentially shouting into an uncaring void.

Whenever Ludwig actually tries to make good content it's actually fire.

Says he won't use his friends or his previous clout; uses someone else's clout instead

I think the fact that Ludwig uploaded a scrapped MrBeast video and it very quickly became his most viewed video proves that it's not all luck.

@@typhoontyph That's not the reason it proves it's not all luck. What I'm trying to say is that the video that MrBeast (the biggest KZreadr rn) made and edited is more successful than any of Ludwig's other videos. Since it's on Ludwig's channel, it's not just successful because MrBeast is known by everyone, but rather successful because MrBeast has studied and perfected making videos that break the YT algorithm.

I think we can all agree that this video demonstrates that there is a lot of know-how that goes into making KZread content. He had a great idea for a video, solid skills for managing the video's meta content (thumbnail, etc.), and he had a good plan for getting that video some attention. However, we can't simply look past the fact that this video cost him ~600 USD and years worth experience with youtube, editing tools, marketing platforms/ideas, etc. If you're a brand new youtuber with no bankroll, you will never see an explosion of viewers like this unless you get very lucky.

It is luck. Skill keeps you relevant and continued growth. But it all depends on if you get recommended. The fact he needed to donate $50 for mizkif to watch it proves it. If it weren’t for that, it takes so long for people to get their Channel going. Or they get lucky that one of their videos gets recognition.
