Youtube Growth

How the algo works:

• It’s sorta all about algo confidence, if your channel is clear in what it is then the algo knows who to recommend it to.

Notes:

• I think the way to go would be to release similar content as much as possible for as long as possible.

• What happened on my YT so far:

  • Noelle Genshin coomer meme ← blew up and what got me to 100 subs
    • This is no longer relevant tho, I think I need to think of my channel as having zero subs
  • Then I did art streams for a bit which got me around 20 subs
  • Then I started doing covers

    • Bisrock ← 0 subs ← relatively plenty of views, I think it got recommended to non-bisayan audience, the problem is that listeners of bisrock are prolly lower than 100 and tbh they’d rather listen to the original.

      • I still wanna make covers of bisrock songs though, even though there’s no audience for it. So essentially, the best time to them would be now that I still don’t have a lot of subs/views. It’s basically now or never cuz if I reach a bigger audience, I can no longer make hyper niche stuff.

    • Tagalog/Rock OPM ← 0 subs ← Kay Tagal Kitang Hinintay had the highest no. of views from all my covers it was like 260. It had my worst singing tho, which is unfortunate. I definitely think there’s an audience for it.

      • To dissect it more:
        • I think stuff that is popular with female listeners are really good
          • Cup of Joe
          • December Avenue
        • I also think that classic/highschool nostalgia stuff are really good
          • Parokya ni Edgar
          • Kamikazee
          • Sponge Cola
        • I think it’s a lot more niche, but PH emo-adjacent music prolly has really chill tech savvy audience too:
          • Chicosci
          • Typecast
          • Urbandub

    • Rap Covers ← 1 sub ← 2 twitter followers ← I initially thought these would be more popular than opm rock music, but in actuality, it’s more niche. I don’t think filipino weebs listen to rap music as much, they prolly listen to rock opm tho. I do feel like the audience ph rap music are so fucking cool and chill.

      • I think I need to dissect it more tho.
        • HGHMNDS-adjacent: Omar Baliw, 1096 Gang, RHYNE ← This is prolly best rap audience to have, super chill, super motivated people
        • Flip D production / Exbatallion / Flow G / Skusta ← Prolly second best audience, more tech savvy, some presence on twitter/ overlap with kpop stans
        • Decent audience > Popular/classic rap < Gloc 9 , 187 mobstaz/fliptop-adjacent, very high overlap with general OPM listeners, just look up wish bus on which are super popular
        • Not compatible > ph gangster rap ← Basically rappers who care a lot about street cred stuff, BnK, Pricetagg, O Side Mafia

    • English music ← Radiohead - Let Down ← 3 subs ← the shorts specifically got a lot of views and some comments too. Even though, it was one of the not so good covers I made.

      • I think there’s a lot of people who listen to radiohead and are interested in watching covers
      • I think english music just has the most number of audience in general.

          • I don’t have much in mind tbh

• The plan:

  • Bisrock Covers
  • OPM Rock Music and Rap Covers
  • English Songs ← Radiohead, Linkin Park, etc

• Will never do:

  • English Rap Covers ← Reasoning for this is audience incompatability. I think anime culture is not welcome to these audience

• Prolly won’t do:

  • Japanese/Vocaloid/Vtuber Music ← As much as I love a lot of it, I just don’t speak the language, nor am I able to play the instrumentals since the style is super different
