I've worked on 1000+ videos with over 1 million views on YouTube.
The good news?
They all have 5 common traits that anyone can learn from to grow on YouTube:
1. Core-casual-new viewer fit
One of the keys to viral ideation is coming up with ideas that appeal to the core (regular viewers), casual (sporadic viewers) and new viewers all at the same time.
Don't think: How can I attract new viewers.
Think: How can I make something interesting to existing viewers AND new viewers.
2. Unique idea but simple to communicate in a title (harder than you think!)
We all know that viral ideas should have some form of uniqueness, something that makes them feel new and fresh to viewers.
However, the idea must also be easy to communicate and simple to understand in less than 1 second.
This is unique: ''I dug a hole to china in 1 week dressed up as batman while balancing an egg on my head'' but it's just confusing and stupid haha.
Example of unique idea that's simple to communicate
'I Pickpocketed a Pickpocket'' by Zac Alsop
Understood in less than a second, but fresh and unique.
3. Overpromise and overdeliver
This one might be a bit controversial, as a lot of the conventional advice is to underpromise and overdeliver. That's great in theory, but doesn't wash on YouTube
Sell your idea in your title and thumbnail, and then make a video that gives the viewer even more.
Just being honest, most of the 1000+ ideas are exaggerated in the thumbnail, but the content is so good that no one complains.
4. Have a clear mission to accomplish
The best videos on YouTube set up a goal to accomplish inside the opening 30 seconds.
It's the why for your video, like what are you actually trying to accomplish here? What's the reason a viewer should keep watching?
I get so annoyed at videos that feel directionless and loose.
5. Born from a process of elimination
Most ideas you come up with are not going to be viral mega-bangers. The bulk of these 1000+ videos didn't just randomly come to me or the channel owner.
So brainstorm lots. Most creators just need more volume in ideation.

Hope you found this helpful, if so follow @PaddyG96
Also, like and RT and I'll pick someone and help them come up with a viral idea for free 🚀

@SamRattner WOW, what kind of goofy guy would forget something that important 👀
English

We used to submit massive regulatory applications to operate an online gambling site in every state.
My goofy cousin Max was our summer intern. How goofy? He printed 10,000 pages of regulatory documents to send via mail to New Jersey, but forgot to put “confidential” at the bottom of each page.
It’s required. Lawyers said re-do it.
I refused to pay for reprinting. So I bought a “confidential” stamp and 200 ink cartridges for $0.40 cents a pop. Kid stamped for 90 hours straight.
He now works for @MrBeast, so I guess it worked out.

@ZackHonarvar @denk_tweets @trykarat @arjunmeta @ryanhashemi_ @thejohnfish @NateTepper @MrRicko500 @bykateward One like and I'll move to LA to be elgible
English

Last night I held the first ever “Founder Confidential” event for 20 LA based entrepreneurs.
No VCs. No brands. No sales people.
Just founders being able to share their experiences, frustrations, celebrations, and lessons with one another in a safe environment.
Thankful to everyone who showed up and was open to name tags & icebreakers. Will be doing these monthly moving forward.
Who should I have at the next one?

@noahzender Doesn’t just have to be a book. A movie or documentary could outlast you too. Just create a form of media that tells your story or a story that has value to you.

@SpotifyUSA is becoming a @YouTube Ripoff...
I was looking through podcasts today on Spotify when I clicked on a category labeled "Video Podcasts."
We understand the notion of repurposing content, but at what point should it be limited?
