What happens if you post multiple YouTube videos in one day? Well, I posted six YouTube videos in 1 hour, and the results go against what many YouTube experts have told me. Welcome back to the Build-in Public Road to 1 million subscribers, where we talk about what's working, what's not working, and what you can try next on YouTube. In this season, our goal is to get to 10,000 subscribers. In the last 10 days, we have grown to 4,898 subscribers. That's 158 in 10 days. Now, before I give you the results of the six videos in 1 hour. In the last video, I showed you how Jenny Hoyo said that social hacking was one of the fastest ways that she grew on YouTube. I need to come back to those results because it worked. Let me show you. Here are the videos that I made about the Ninja Kids. You can see the first one I got 6,000, 1,600, 4,000, 5,800, 3,500. But look at this one. 20,795. Now, just so you know, a normal range of a video views on our channel is about 1,000 to 2,000. So, for us to be able to consistently get above that tells us something. But let me show you the results of this Payton Doo video that got 20,000. If we go to analytics, it shows that we got 64 subscribers from this one video. Now, how are people finding this video? Let's go find out by going to reach, scroll down, and we see people are finding it through the browse features, shorts feed, and YouTube search. Now, this is pretty high for a YouTube short video. So, you see under the YouTube search features, we have people that are looking for Ninja Kids, Payton Doo, Ninja Kids. So, my video has been able to populate and give to those people that have been looking for this content. In the last video, I shared how we need to start looking into social hacking those that are actually in our niche. Now, I haven't done that yet, but there is a video that I worked on a couple of days ago that is actually really taking off and it's a long form video. Let me tell you what happened. I bought an Amazon Fire tablet for my daughter on Prime Day. If you've never used Amazon Fire tablet, it does not come with the Google Play Store, meaning it also does not come with YouTube Kids or YouTube. So, I needed to figure out adding the Google Play Store so she could download YouTube Kids and watch those videos. So, I thought if I'm going to go through this process, I might as well record the video. And I'm sure there's other people that got Amazon Fire tablets that are also searching for this type of content right now. Now, this video doing well is not an accident. I did a lot of research before making this video just to make sure that I was intentionally putting in the keywords that people were searching for so that they could find this video. So, what I did is I used this program called Vid IQ. I'll link it in the description if you want to try it out. I searched for things like install Google Play Store on Amazon Fire tablet. The things that I am actually going to be googling and YouTubing to try to figure out how to actually do it and remind myself. And what Vid IQ does is it takes these longtail keywords and it shows you how many times a month people are searching for this exact phrase and the competition, meaning how many other videos out there are competing against this specific phrase. Well, if you scroll down a bit, you'll see other longtail keywords that people are searching for. So, I know that these phrases specifically are being searched for and that the competition in terms of videos are low. People say tags don't matter, but remember this, YouTube is analyzing every single word that we speak and generating captions. They are trying to get as much information as possible to be able to help connect the audience to the video that helps them the most. So, is it the most important thing? No. But does it help? Yes. Let me show you. Under the video, I can go to reach and scroll down and see the terms that people are actually searching for on YouTube to come to this video. You can see that proportion of my traffic for this is 70.4%. That's significant. So, when I tap see more, I can see which keywords are bringing the people to this video. So, this is a good one. how to download Google Play Store on Amazon Fire tablet. Seeing that it is the top longtail keyword that people are using to find our video. I copied it. I went back to the video into our details section and I dropped it into our list of tags because I realized I didn't have it there yet, but people were finding our video through that method. And look here, I don't have any short tail keyword tags. Those could be helpful, but I'm trying to get the people that are searching for the long things and there's not that much competition in terms of videos yet. But there's one important piece that I forgot to show you. Under the YouTube search terms, this very important column, average view duration. So for the people that are searching for this keyword tag specifically, 10 people search for that and stay for an average 3 minutes and 41 seconds. Now looking at it, what other keyword tags do you think would be most important for me to add to my list of tags on my YouTube video? I can't add all of them because I get up to 500 characters. If you answered correctly, this one for sure because although it has less amount of views so far, look how long these people are actually staying to watch the video. How to install Google Play Store on Amazon Fire tablet. 9 minutes and 47 seconds. My video is about 5 minutes long. So, the fact that people are searching for this term and spending almost two times as long on my video tells me the people searching for this term are my true target audience of the people that I can help. Vid IQ is a great resource to be able to research keywords to help bring those people to your video before you ever post it. But the studio is an excellent place to be able to track progress and make tweaks to your video along the way. Now to the most exciting thing that I want to tell you about how posting six videos in 1 hour performed on our channel. Now you remember I have been really trying to increase the number of times we're posting on our channel from one time a day to try to get to five times a day. But it's been a struggle, right? This thing is hard. I could barely find time to make one video a day. How did I get six videos in 1 hour? Well, in our conversation with Jenny Hoyos, in our first episode of this podcast, she talked about how not only social hacking was very helpful in growing her channel, but trendjacking. Yesterday, the YouTube creators channel dropped two videos that show how they have launched AI effects into the YouTube Shorts app. So, I thought, why not try these effects with my daughter and post videos about them and show people how to use them because this thing just launched. Look at this. 19 hours ago. You know that people have got to be trying these features and trying to figure out how to do it. So, under my shorts, I actually made seven videos in one day, but six in one hour. Now, some YouTube experts would say, "Hey, you should post maybe 1 to two videos a day max because the videos will cannibalize each other, right?" Well, that's not what happened here. These are the six videos I posted in 1 hour. Look at them. 870, 842, 1,000,400, 1200, 1300. If they would cannibalize each other, I would expect for these numbers to go down, not up. Remember, my range of good views on a video is between 1,000 and 2,000 based on how our channel normally performs right now. Now, to make these videos, I just tested out the feature. It allows you to be able to record in the YouTube shorts. And after seeing how it worked, I actually just turned on screen record and said, "Hey, if you want to make these videos, follow this process and posted it. Six videos in 1 hour and all of them in under a day have jumped up to about a,000 views." Now, does that mean I'm going to be able to post six videos every day? That'd be awesome, but we'll see. Oh my gosh, I forgot to tell you something. You know how in YouTube shorts if you're scrolling through sometimes you'll see links to products but in YouTube shorts you actually can't embed links in description or anything like that. It doesn't work. Some YouTube shorts can embed this link. You see how it says Hubble raco? This is one of my friends channels. You can click on it and it's an affiliate link. If you buy this product the YouTuber earns a commission. So how do you get access to it? I'm already monetized but I don't have this option. Here's what I found out. So to be eligible for the YouTube Shopping affiliate program, it says yes, your channel must be in the YouTube partner program. But then it also says your channel must have more than 10,000 subscribers. Well, in this season we are on the road to 10,000 subscribers, right? It also says you must be in one of these countries and not have your channel set for made for kids. But now we know once you get to 10,000 subscribers in the YouTube partner program, you can start making money through affiliate links. So what are you going to try next?
