[0:00] I broke the YouTube algorithm, getting
[0:02] over 800 million views with over 600,000
[0:05] subscribers. In 5 months, I've made
[0:07] close to $75,000.
[0:09] In this video, I'm going to reveal all
[0:12] the secrets, including a simple niche
[0:14] that anyone can start today, even if you
[0:17] know nothing about YouTube automation.
[0:19] All right, before we get into the actual
[0:21] video, I want to mention that this is
[0:22] not a get-rich scheme. It took me 5
[0:24] months to achieve this result. So, if
[0:26] you're for quick success, then I'm
[0:28] sorry. This video is not for you. Let's
[0:30] get started. All right, we're going to
[0:32] start with creating the channel. This is
[0:33] simple, and I know anyone can do it. But
[0:36] there are a few things you need to do to
[0:37] avoid your channel from getting zero
[0:39] views. The thing is, YouTube does not
[0:41] officially confirm shadowbanning the way
[0:44] other platforms do. What usually happens
[0:46] is that new channels get limited initial
[0:48] reach. So, instead of avoiding
[0:50] shadowban, what you really want is
[0:53] building channel trust from day one.
[0:55] Here's how to properly set up your
[0:57] YouTube channel to avoid triggering low
[0:58] trust signals. Use an old Google account
[1:01] that has normal activity history. Why?
[1:03] Older accounts have search history,
[1:05] watch history, comment history, natural
[1:08] behavior patterns that builds trust. But
[1:10] if you don't have an old account, then
[1:11] here's what I'll recommend. Create a
[1:13] brand new account, but warm it up for 5
[1:15] 7 days to build those histories. I mean,
[1:17] watch videos daily, like videos, comment
[1:19] naturally, subscribe to the channel you
[1:21] love, and avoid uploading immediately.
[1:23] Act like a real human. Next, go to
[1:26] settings,
[1:28] channel,
[1:30] and feature eligibility.
[1:33] Make sure you verify your phone number.
[1:35] Don't just leave it. Unverified channels
[1:37] look low trust. Now, the keywords, I'm
[1:40] going to be honest with you, I didn't
[1:41] add any keywords here. Per my
[1:43] experience, I don't think this really
[1:44] matters for a short channel, but you can
[1:46] go ahead and add some keywords later on,
[1:48] but right now, I need you to follow what
[1:50] I'm showing. For the logo and channel
[1:52] banner, you need to keep it simple.
[1:54] Yeah, don't make things complicated. So,
[1:56] for the logo, I recommend you use a face
[1:58] or a recognizable figure. The human
[2:00] brain is obsessed with faces. We even
[2:02] imagine faces in random objects. So, if
[2:05] your channel has a face or a character,
[2:07] your audience will notice you faster and
[2:09] click more often. I'm going to use this.
[2:11] And since the image is in a square
[2:13] shape, there's no need to resize it.
[2:14] I'll just upload it here.
[2:18] For the banner, just open Canva. In the
[2:20] search bar, simply enter YouTube banner.
[2:23] Now, you're going to choose the one you
[2:24] like here, but you need to make sure it
[2:26] has borders like this one. The reason is
[2:29] we want the banner to show on all
[2:31] devices. I'm going to go with this one
[2:33] here. Now, just change the text and the
[2:34] color to your preference. Remember to
[2:36] keep everything in this space. All
[2:38] right. You're going to download it by
[2:40] clicking share. Click on download.
[2:44] And here, click download again. Now you
[2:47] can upload it here and hit publish.
[2:50] If you've completed this first step,
[2:52] congratulations. You're already ahead of
[2:54] the 99% of people you say they'll start
[2:56] but never do. All right, we're going to
[2:58] move on to the next step, but I kindly
[3:00] ask you to use 5 seconds of your time to
[3:03] like the video and subscribe to the
[3:04] channel. Now that your channel is ready,
[3:06] our next focus is to get monetized. You
[3:08] all know the rules, so we need a
[3:10] strategy to get 1,000 subscribers and at
[3:12] least 10 million views before we can get
[3:14] monetized. That sounds like a lot, but
[3:17] relax. I got this exact channel
[3:19] monetized in less than 30 days, and I've
[3:21] achieved this result in 5 months. Just
[3:24] chill. You know what? Instead of wasting
[3:26] time warming up your account, what I
[3:27] want you to do is to use that time to
[3:30] find trending videos. Let me show you
[3:32] the actual example I used to create one
[3:34] of my recent videos that's currently at
[3:36] 37 million views. You're going to open
[3:38] YouTube on your new account, but if
[3:40] you're doing this on an old account, I
[3:41] recommend you do this incognito. This
[3:43] way, your feed is not personalized and
[3:45] YouTube shows you what is actually
[3:47] trending. Next, search for heartwarming
[3:49] or heroic stories or any story you like.
[3:51] Click on shorts. Now, instead of finding
[3:54] the best topic, we'll do this instead.
[3:56] We're going to find videos that are
[3:58] going viral and recreate them. So, keep
[4:00] scrolling and once you get the trending
[4:02] video, open up the description to see
[4:04] the total views and when it was posted.
[4:06] Once you get the video you like, then
[4:08] it's time to recreate it. Let me show
[4:10] you this worked for me. This is a video
[4:12] I found some weeks ago, and it's a
[4:15] simple story about a boy who dreams of
[4:16] playing basketball. He really wants to
[4:18] practice, but his parents can't afford
[4:20] to buy him a basketball hoop. One day, a
[4:22] kind neighbor shares his story on
[4:24] Facebook and asks people for help.
[4:26] Because of that kindness, the boy
[4:28] finally gets the basketball hoop he
[4:30] always dreamed of. As you can see, even
[4:32] though this video is a month older, mine
[4:34] has gotten more views. So, I repeated
[4:36] this idea once per day, and I had
[4:38] infinite ideas that are proven to work.
[4:41] This strategy is so good because instead
[4:43] of starting from scratch to get ideas
[4:45] that are set up to fail, we reverse
[4:47] engineer the virality of our video by
[4:49] leveraging what's already working for
[4:51] our audience. But here's where you need
[4:53] to be careful. Notice why I asked you to
[4:55] recreate instead of steal. If you steal
[4:57] videos, YouTube kills your channel.
[4:59] You're not only going to make no money,
[5:01] but you'll also get hit by copyright
[5:03] strikes. And when it happens like that,
[5:05] YouTube might remove your channel. This
[5:06] is why I never try stealing videos, but
[5:08] recreate them to comply with the YouTube
[5:11] policies and guidelines. But if this
[5:13] step is complicated for you, then I
[5:15] actually have a simple method I use with
[5:16] AI to consistently find good video
[5:19] topics. But I can't really share
[5:21] everything here in this video because if
[5:22] the exact strategy becomes public, a lot
[5:25] of people will start copying it and the
[5:27] niche could become saturated very
[5:28] quickly. So I decided to leave that part
[5:30] for people who are serious about doing
[5:32] this. I've included that method along
[5:34] with the entire workflow on Gumroad
[5:36] where I break down everything step by
[5:38] step. Just so you know, it's not free,
[5:39] but inside you'll get the full system.
[5:41] Plus, I've also added a private WhatsApp
[5:43] group where you can share your channel
[5:44] and I'll personally review it and help
[5:46] you improve. The link will be in the
[5:47] video description. And even if you don't
[5:49] have any budget to spend, don't worry
[5:51] because I use the strategy I'm showing
[5:53] right now. So, where do I find script to
[5:55] create my videos? It's simple. I get the
[5:57] transcript of the video I'm modeling,
[5:59] then add my own spin. I usually write
[6:01] the script myself and you can also do
[6:03] that. Yeah, that's better. But if you
[6:05] can't go with that method, then you can
[6:07] ask chatgpt to rewrite it for you. Just
[6:10] make sure you read through. Yeah, AI
[6:12] makes mistakes sometimes. Once the
[6:14] script is ready, you can go ahead and
[6:15] generate the voice over. I use Google AI
[6:18] Studio for the voice. It's also 100%
[6:20] free and unlimited. On the homepage, hit
[6:23] on playground. Go to text to speech and
[6:26] here pick the first option.
[6:29] Select a single speaker from this tab
[6:31] and then paste your script. Click here
[6:33] to pick the voice you like.
[6:36] Now you can hit the run button and
[6:38] you'll get something like this.
[6:40] >> She was in danger and only one kid saw
[6:43] it in time.
[6:45] >> All right, just hit the three dots and
[6:47] select download to save it.
[6:49] So where do you find footage for your
[6:51] videos? First, I find the actual
[6:53] characters in the story. Then change the
[6:55] style to 3D. Let's use this story as an
[6:58] example. First, I'll get the actual
[7:00] characters. Sometimes they'll be in a
[7:02] single image like this one. If it's not,
[7:04] then you'll have to find them one by
[7:06] one. Once I get the image, I'll then
[7:08] give it to ChatgPT and ask it to convert
[7:11] it to a 3D style. You can see it gave me
[7:14] this image here, but separating it won't
[7:16] be easy. So, I asked it to separate the
[7:18] characters and give me three separate
[7:20] characters.
[7:23] I then opened it with the normal photo
[7:25] software in my Windows, then separated
[7:27] them one by one. If you can't use the
[7:30] photo editor on your PC, you can also
[7:32] use Canva.
[7:36] Next, I asked it to give me visual
[7:38] scenes for all the lines. And it gave me
[7:41] these prompts, but you realize it gave
[7:42] me eight scenes here. Meanwhile, the
[7:44] scenes were supposed to be 10 because
[7:46] the script has 10 lines. So, I asked it
[7:49] to regenerate it and it finally gave me
[7:51] 10 scenes. This is why I always say you
[7:54] should go through everything you
[7:55] generate using AI. Now, we can generate
[7:57] the visuals and then convert it into
[7:59] videos. I'm going to be sincere with
[8:01] you. I use Nano Banana Pro for this
[8:03] step, but you can start with Whisk. It's
[8:05] 100% free and I think it's unlimited,
[8:08] too. You can see that they're moving Wis
[8:10] to Flow on this date. So, this step may
[8:12] change a bit in future. All right. Start
[8:15] by uploading all your characters here.
[8:20] To add the next character, just hit on
[8:22] this plus button.
[8:27] Once done, just paste the prompt for the
[8:30] first scene. Select the characters that
[8:31] appear in the prompt. For instance, the
[8:33] old man and the boy appeared in the
[8:35] first prompt. So, I'll select those two
[8:37] characters.
[8:40] Now set the aspect ratio to 9 by6 and
[8:44] generate.
[8:47] Just repeat these same steps to generate
[8:49] all the scene images. All right, now
[8:51] let's turn your images into videos.
[8:53] First, open Grock and create a free
[8:55] account. You get around 10 free
[8:57] generations per day, which is more than
[8:59] enough for this process. Now, instead of
[9:01] going straight to generate the video, do
[9:03] this instead. Click on your profile icon
[9:05] and go to settings. On the left side,
[9:08] click behavior. Scroll down and turn
[9:11] auto video generation off. This is
[9:13] important because it gives you full
[9:14] control and prevents you from wasting
[9:16] your free generations. Now go back and
[9:18] click on imagine from the left menu.
[9:21] Click the image icon, then switch it to
[9:23] video mode.
[9:26] Make sure the aspect ratio is set to 9
[9:29] by 16 vertica format for shorts. Next,
[9:32] paste your prompt into the box and
[9:34] upload the image you created using that
[9:36] prompt.
[9:40] Once everything is ready, click
[9:42] generate. That's it. Repeat the same
[9:44] steps to create the rest of your videos.
[9:46] Now, moving to editing. Once you have
[9:48] all the clips, you'll need to edit them.
[9:50] To do this, you're going to open your
[9:51] video editor, which is in this case Cap
[9:54] Cut, but you can also use Premiere Pro,
[9:56] Da Vinci, or any other app you prefer.
[9:58] The main reason behind the editing isn't
[10:00] just joining the clips to form a single
[10:03] video, but to add value so YouTube won't
[10:05] market as inauthentic content and avoid
[10:07] our channel from being demonetized.
[10:10] Start by importing the voice over and
[10:12] the visuals which are the videos you
[10:14] generated on Grock. Next, add the voice
[10:16] over to the audio track. Now, instead of
[10:19] going straight away to arrange the clips
[10:21] on the top of the voiceover, you need to
[10:23] do this instead. You need to listen to
[10:25] the voice over and change the pacing by
[10:27] adding pauses and cutting out pauses. I
[10:30] do this to maintain the viewer's
[10:31] attention for as long as possible.
[10:39] Once you're cool with the voice over,
[10:40] you can go ahead and arrange the clips
[10:42] according to the voice over.
[10:51] After arranging the clips to meet the
[10:53] length of the voice over, I then add the
[10:55] original image of the story at the end
[10:57] and the mending heart emoji.
[11:10] Now I can add sound effects to where it
[11:12] is needed and add smooth transitions.
[11:14] Always make sure to add captions.
[11:16] Finally, add the background music.
[11:18] Adjust the volume and you're done. You
[11:20] just made your first video.
[11:21] >> She was in danger and only one kid saw
[11:24] it in time. [music] 9-year-old Owen had
[11:26] just gotten off the bus on a snowy
[11:28] afternoon. Two houses down, [music] he
[11:30] saw his neighbor sitting at the bottom
[11:32] of the steps. Something wasn't right.
[11:34] The man [music] barely responded, so
[11:36] Owen ran home and told his parents. They
[11:39] rushed [music] back, brought him inside,
[11:40] and called 911. Doctors later said a few
[11:44] more [music] minutes could have changed
[11:45] everything. When asked why he helped,
[11:47] Owen said, "I just thought it was a good
[11:49] idea.
[11:51] This process takes me just about 60
[11:53] minutes, and it's the only work I do for
[11:55] one day. Honestly, YouTube shorts are
[11:57] one of the easiest ways to make money
[11:59] right now. On good days, I can make more
[12:01] than $2,000 just by doing 60 minutes of
[12:04] work, which is basically nothing. I've
[12:06] put the entire workflow on Gumroad, and
[12:07] you'll find the link in the video
[12:09] description. We're already done with the
[12:11] most difficult parts, so don't stop
[12:13] there. Posting is definitely the easiest
[12:15] part of the process, but you'd be
[12:17] surprised how many people still mess it
[12:19] up. First and foremost, the type of
[12:21] content you post determines how much
[12:22] your channel can earn. That's because
[12:24] YouTube pays based on your RPM, which
[12:27] stands for revenue per mele. In simple
[12:29] terms, RPM is how much YouTube pays you
[12:32] every time your video reaches 1,000
[12:34] views. So, what affects your RPM? Your
[12:36] audience. Views from some countries pay
[12:38] more than others. For example,
[12:40] English-speaking countries like the
[12:41] United States, the United Kingdom, and
[12:43] Australia usually have much higher RPMs
[12:46] compared to many other parts of the
[12:48] world. That's why using English
[12:49] voiceovers and captions can help. The
[12:51] more viewers you attract from
[12:53] English-speaking countries, the higher
[12:55] your chances of increasing your RPM. But
[12:57] you need to pay attention. Never use a
[12:59] VPN to upload your content. I repeat,
[13:02] never. Why? First, it can signal to the
[13:06] algorithm that your activity looks
[13:07] suspicious or automated. Second, it
[13:10] doesn't even help. A VPN only changes
[13:13] where your video is uploaded from, not
[13:15] where it's actually watched. An RPM is
[13:18] based on where your viewers are, not
[13:20] your upload location. So, if you want a
[13:22] higher RPM, focus on creating content
[13:24] that attracts English-speaking
[13:26] audiences. Now that you understand that,
[13:28] open the YouTube app on your phone and
[13:30] tap the plus icon. Select the video you
[13:33] created and tap next. Then choose a song
[13:36] if you'd like. Don't worry about
[13:38] copyright. Music from the YouTube audio
[13:40] library is safe to use. Everything in
[13:42] the YouTube library is cleared for
[13:44] creators. When entering your title, make
[13:46] sure it contains highly searched
[13:48] keywords. And of course, you'll also
[13:50] find how to pick the best titles in the
[13:51] workflow on Gumroad. For hashtags, the
[13:54] only hashtag I use here is just #
[13:57] shorts, but you can include one or two
[13:59] extra if you want. Sometimes I also put
[14:01] #heartwarming or #h heroic stories, but
[14:04] honestly hashtags don't really affect
[14:06] the video that much. So what you need to
[14:08] do next is to scroll through the
[14:10] timestamps to find the best moment you
[14:12] think people will click and set it as a
[14:14] thumbnail. This can help your video keep
[14:16] getting traffic even after the algorithm
[14:18] slows down. Next, make sure you check
[14:20] the correct audience setting. It's
[14:22] important that your content is not
[14:24] marked for YouTube kids unless it's
[14:26] actually made for children. This helps
[14:28] the algorithm send your video to the
[14:30] right audience. After that, you can
[14:32] ignore the rest of the settings and
[14:33] simply tap upload short. Once it's
[14:35] posted, don't keep re-watching your own
[14:37] video. Just leave it alone and let the
[14:39] algorithm do its job. Congratulations,
[14:42] you've posted your first video. Now,
[14:44] repeat the same process and aim to post
[14:46] at least one video every day. This
[14:48] signals to YouTube that you're
[14:50] consistent [music] and serious about
[14:52] creating content. YouTube always favors
[14:54] long-term consistency over random viral
[14:57] moments. You can post more if you want,
[14:59] especially on Fridays and weekends since
[15:01] these are the days most people watch
[15:03] shorts. Just don't post more than three
[15:05] videos per day. Uploading too many at
[15:07] once can look unnatural and may trigger
[15:09] spam detection. Finally, the most
[15:11] important lesson I learned myself is
[15:12] that if your channel doesn't grow within
[15:14] the first month and keeps getting stuck
[15:15] at zero, 1K views, 30K views, or even
[15:18] 100K views jail, the best move is to
[15:20] start a new channel or use a different
[15:22] account. Why? YouTube algorithm puts
[15:25] invisible labels on your channel based
[15:27] on your early videos performance. If you
[15:29] consistently upload videos that get low
[15:31] views, the system may start to assume
[15:33] your content only appeals to a small
[15:35] audience. And once that pattern is
[15:37] established, it can be harder to break
[15:39] out of it. If you keep uploading content
[15:41] that gets low views, then the system
[15:43] learns that your channel is only
[15:45] relevant to a very small audience. It
[15:47] won't push it anymore. Even if your
[15:49] later videos are really good, honestly,
[15:51] I restarted this three times before
[15:53] succeeding this channel, but this varies
[15:54] from person to person. The most
[15:56] important thing is to keep going and
[15:58] improving your videos. And now moving on
[16:00] to our secret tip that took me from this
[16:02] to this. This last step might shift the
[16:05] way you see YouTube entirely. It's about
[16:07] posting in a way that keeps people glued
[16:09] to their screens. I call it retention
[16:11] psychology. Think of the YouTube
[16:13] algorithm as a relentless machine. It
[16:15] doesn't care about your niche, your
[16:17] personality, or even your subscriber
[16:19] count. It only cares about one thing,
[16:21] which is retention. If viewers stay on
[16:23] your video, YouTube pushes it to more
[16:25] people. If they swipe away early or only
[16:27] watch small parts, the algorithm slows
[16:29] down or stops pushing it completely.
[16:31] That's it. It's really that simple. And
[16:33] you don't have to guess. You can check
[16:34] this yourself. Click on the video you
[16:36] uploaded and switch to engagement.
[16:37] Scroll down and you'll see your audience
[16:39] retention graph. That graph tells you
[16:41] everything. If the line drops fast, it
[16:43] means people are leaving quickly. And
[16:44] when that happens, YouTube shows your
[16:46] video to fewer people, which also means
[16:48] less money. This is where the retention
[16:50] psychology comes in. We can take
[16:52] psychology and turn it on our side to
[16:53] keep people watching as long as
[16:55] possible. And if you want to understand,
[16:57] you need to think in terms of this.
[16:58] Every video has three psychological
[17:00] parts. the hook, the body, and reward.
[17:03] The first one is the hook, and it's the
[17:05] first 3 seconds of your video. And
[17:06] honestly, it matters more than the rest
[17:08] of the video combined. This is where you
[17:10] either grab the viewer or lose them. If
[17:12] you upload a 30-se secondond video, but
[17:14] people scroll away at the 3se secondond
[17:15] mark, the remaining 27 seconds will
[17:17] never be seen. It could be that those 27
[17:19] seconds were the best video ever, but
[17:21] your viewers will never find out because
[17:23] they scrolled. What's even worse is
[17:24] this. Those 27 seconds make up almost
[17:27] your entire video. If people never watch
[17:29] them, your overall retention drops hard.
[17:31] And when that happens, the algorithm
[17:33] reads it as a weak hook, which kills
[17:35] your chances of going viral. That's why
[17:36] the first few seconds matter so much.
[17:39] You need to give people a reason to stay
[17:41] immediately. Use an audio hook, a visual
[17:43] hook, and a text hook all at once. When
[17:45] you combine all three at once, the
[17:47] viewer's brain gets hit with curiosity
[17:49] before their thumb even thinks about
[17:51] scrolling. Now, once you've captured
[17:53] their attention, you move into the
[17:55] second part of the video, the body. The
[17:57] easiest way to build a strong body is to
[17:59] use clips that are universal and easy to
[18:01] understand right away. No confusion, no
[18:04] slow buildup. Keep the pacing fast. Use
[18:07] frequent cuts. Add small zooms. Keep
[18:09] things moving so there's no dead space.
[18:12] And now the final part, the reward. The
[18:14] reward is the ending of your video. This
[18:16] is where you lock in engagement. Put
[18:18] your most rewarding or most outrageous
[18:20] moment at the very end so the viewer
[18:21] feels payoff. Always cut the video
[18:23] immediately after the payoff so you
[18:25] don't drug out your own time. You can
[18:27] also ask one simple call to action like
[18:29] asking them to comment or subscribe, but
[18:31] never overload the viewers. Remember,
[18:34] it's all about retention. And with that
[18:36] said, I recommend you rewatch the video
[18:37] again to understand everything clearly.
