It's been 3 months since starting Youtube

July brought both leaps and challenges.

Premise

No experience in making videos. Started Youtube about 2 months ago. Subscribers and views?

Video production strategy for the 3rd month

As the content and structure of the videos have solidified, the production time per video has significantly decreased.

The production time is about 1 to 3 hours, and if I wake up early on weekdays, I can create it with high spirits.

The content of the videos focuses on "empathy" and "new discoveries".

I approach it with the simple idea that if viewers feel they made a new discovery after watching the video, they will subscribe.

Therefore, the structure tends to start with the conclusion (within 1 minute) and then add supplemental information.

Suddenly buzzing

In mid-July (about 2 months after posting the first video), one video suddenly started to skyrocket.

My time has come.

7500 views in a day.

The highest daily subscriber count was 56 people.

I won. I totally understand Youtube.

Trends before the spike

There was no significant difference from other videos.

It was normal like before, with about 100 views in a week, 3 to 5 high ratings, similar to other videos.

There was a period of about 3 days where 500 to 1000 views occurred, and there were about 3 days when it exceeded 5000 views. After that, it was around 500 to 1000 views per day.

I felt that if it's in a field with demand, getting 1000 subscribers after one video goes viral is possible.

Ratio of views and subscribers

In my case, it's about 1 registration for every 150 views.

Also, the average viewing rate for one view is about 50%, around 1 minute 30 seconds.

Since my videos are mainly 2 to 4 minutes long, this is roughly how it goes.

Results announcement for subscribers and views in July

It increased a lot. I'm extremely grateful.

Views: 49,000

Watch time: 1360 hours

Subscribers: 382

To monetize, 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours are needed, so

I was able to achieve each 1/3 in one month. Yay!

Also, the ratio of subscribers and watch time seems to be the golden ratio, and I feel like I could achieve the monetization conditions at around the same timing.

I feel like if the video time is around 3 minutes, that golden ratio could be achieved. I will continue this.

Without buzzing, the road ahead is long

Honestly, this time, one video happened to buzz and reach 30,000 views, and other videos also extended the engagement, resulting in good numbers.

However, if this doesn't happen again, the road ahead seems long.

I believe the only way is to keep making videos consistently.

I will strive for about 6 videos in August.

Once you experience buzzing, you tend to have some faint expectations, which is not very good.

Theory that you run out of content once monetized

It's very possible.

Now that monetization has started, I will continue steadily to avoid burnout.

Summary

Thank you for reading this somewhat unorganized article.

I will continue to observe and see how things go.
