"The title promises a review of three mistakes, but the video actually reviews nine channels, delivering more value than promised, though the structure is a bit scattered."

AI Summary

In this video, the creator reviews follower-submitted YouTube channels, offering personalized feedback based on three key criteria: field, idea, and video quality. The goal is to educate viewers on YouTube's algorithm and what makes channels succeed or fail.

[00:02]
Review Criteria Introduction

The creator introduces a structured review process based on three criteria: field (niche), idea (concept), and video (execution). This framework helps viewers understand why channels get views or not.

[00:15]
Community Engagement

The creator posts a call for channel reviews and receives 90 comments, showing high engagement. He selects three channels from the beginning, middle, and end of the comment list for review.

[00:46]
First Review: Hassan YT

Hassan YT uploads religious content (Surah Al-Kahf) with 13 videos. The creator advises adding Quranic stories to diversify content and maintain viewer interest.

[01:28]
Second Review: Malika and Malik

Malika has 682 subscribers and 41 videos. The thumbnail is weak, and the video production needs improvement. The creator emphasizes the importance of a professional script using the CTI (hook, story, content) framework.

[02:21]
Third Review: Lord Anime

Lord Anime has 99,000 views but low subscriber count. The creator advises improving editing, developing a recognizable logo, and making each video better than the last.

[02:48]
Fourth Review: Challenge of Mohamed

Mohamed's 1-pound product challenge idea is good, but editing needs work—avoid silent pauses. The creator stresses that the first 25 seconds determine whether YouTube promotes the video.

[04:10]
Fifth Review: Trend Focus

A channel focusing on trends is advised to create longer videos and pay attention to editing. Uploading one quality video per week is better than many low-quality ones.

[04:36]
Sixth Review: Legends of History

History channel with 34,000 subscribers. The creator advises finding trending ideas by searching 'historical stories' filtered by 'last month' and replicating successful concepts.

[05:28]
Seventh Review: Consistency Issue

A channel with inconsistent posting (two years, then gaps) is criticized. The creator emphasizes consistency and choosing ideas that people are interested in, like programming results.

[06:10]
Eighth Review: Curiosity Hook

A video about 'Gino's three strongest shadows' uses a curiosity hook ('you won't believe who it is') to retain viewers. The creator praises this technique.

[06:37]
Ninth Review: Thumbnail and Title

A video with only 623 views likely has a weak title and thumbnail. The creator suggests improving the title to be more engaging and placing Quranic verses in the middle, not the first 30 seconds.

[08:01]
Summary of Key Lessons

The creator recaps the three criteria: field must be in demand, idea must be viral, and video must have good editing, script, thumbnail, and keywords. Keywords are crucial in title, description, and hashtags.

The video provides actionable advice for YouTube creators, emphasizing the importance of niche selection, viral ideas, and high-quality video production. The creator's framework—field, idea, video—serves as a practical guide for improving channel performance.

Keywords Are Essential

Emphasizes the often-underestimated role of keywords in video discovery.

08:01

[00:02] first video reviewing my followers. But it'll be different from other reviews because I'll have specific criteria for the channels I review. This will help you understand the reasons why channels get views or not. My goal is for you to learn more about YouTube's algorithms. That's why I

[00:15] made a post on the channel dedicated to follower reviews. I'm going to go to sleep now and see how many people comment and like. Okay, now let's see how many people commented. Wow, 90! My heart! how many people commented. Wow, 90! My heart!

[00:32] since so many people commented, it's impossible to review them all because it would take too long. But I'll choose some people randomly, and don't be upset if your name isn't among them because the main goal is for you to learn from their mistakes. I chose three from the

[00:46] beginning, three from the middle, and three from the end. So, let's start with the first one. Let's see the first one. In the name of God. So, let's start with the first one, Hassan YT. He just uploaded his first video about Surah Al-Kahf, and, God willing, he's uploaded 13 videos. So, I think he's following the guidelines, and his content is primarily

[01:01] religious. Now, everyone, we need to start with specific guidelines, which will be found here in the section on the right. These are: the field, the idea, and the video. First, let's start with the field. You're starting with religious content, which is great. You have good ideas and upload Quranic videos, but

[01:13] try to also upload Quranic stories. You just need to add another type of video, such as Quranic stories or religious stories. Now, let's move on to the second one, Malika and Malik. She has 682 subscribers and uploads 41 videos. Regarding the number of subscribers,

[01:28] I don't think that's bad, to be honest. Let's start with the conditions we've set. First, the thumbnail isn't good. The ideas are good, meaning the field is fine. Maybe you're on the right track now. I see some good ideas here. I tried living a whole day in prison. I think that's good, but it

[01:41] just needs a thumbnail. And the video isn't very well done because, for example, I see the thumbnail looks like this, so how will the final product look? I think you succeeded in the idea itself. For example, now the world has something to offer you. Look, this is the book I wrote, which,

[01:54] thank God, achieved good sales. But, I want to explain something to you, and you choose the field? You've chosen the right field, but there are some mistakes. Here, you need to understand how to create a professional script. Of course, it's on page 12. You have to pay attention to these things:

[02:09] creating something called CTI, hook, story, and content. You have to understand these four things. If you understand them, you'll understand how to create a professional script. It's very basic, just like what you did. Let's get into it. Lord Anime got 99,000 views, which is very good, but

[02:21] considering the number of subscribers, he felt it was honestly very low. For example, good number of views, I would make another one with different ideas. At the same time, I would try my best to make each video better than the last. First, you chose the field well, and

[02:34] your ideas are somewhat good, but the video or editing itself needs some work. This is why you don't have many subscribers, so pay more attention to the editing and develop a specific logo that people recognize when they see it. Start improving the editing

[02:48] a bit with similar ideas, and I guarantee you'll get good views. The third one is Challenge of Mohamed. You only started five months ago and created a complete design. The 1-pound product idea is really good, actually. It's a really good thumbnail, like 6 of them, not the super cool kind,

[03:03] but the text is good. So let me take a look at it first. I'm Mohamed, and we have a whole challenge today. First, I see that you're starting to do a bit well. Your field is starting to get into the realm of specific challenges related to design, and I think that's actually a good field. Of course,

[03:18] you've come up with some good ideas, but you're missing something specific. First, I think you should pay a little more attention to keywords, and more importantly, you need to do good editing. I saw this video; it's good, but you pause a lot while speaking. For example, you talk for a bit and then stop. Don't let there be

[03:31] silent parts while you're talking. And second, of course, you don't have to watch from the beginning of the video. Continue watching and start again, and believe me, you'll succeed. Just focus on one thing: you've succeeded in the field of content creation, and the idea of ​​the videos is a good one, honestly. Pay a little more attention to editing and

[03:44] keywords. For example, if I only see the first 25 seconds, YouTube won't show your videos to people again. So, editing is what will truly affect whether the video continues to be shown to people or not. Put in a lot of effort, even if it takes two weeks, so that the video comes out with respectable quality. Honestly, you're doing great!

[03:57] Now that I've got my first three subscribers, let's start from the middle. Let's go with one, then three, then four. The first one started focusing on the new trend, which is a good area, but try to

[04:10] create the same content with longer videos. Your ideas are good, but you need to pay a little more attention to the concept to make it much Also, pay attention to the visuals, which are the video itself. Pay a little more attention to editing. Don't focus on uploading a lot of videos; it's okay to upload one video every

[04:24] week, but a long video, not a short one. Honestly, you're doing great! I think you're doing great. Continuing with this content, go to the next channel, " Legends of History." First, you've succeeded in the field. I assume you have succeeded because you're talking about history. First, try to

[04:36] focus on the idea. Come up with ideas that will trend. To find trending ideas, search for " historical stories." Go to the filters and search for " last month." You'll see videos with the highest views, whether shorts or longer videos. This video got a

[04:48] very good number of views for someone with 34,000 subscribers, so it means the idea is trending. Take the same idea and create a similar one. So, you've succeeded in the field, but you need to So, you've succeeded in the field, but you need to

[05:00] very good logo and feels professional. It got 100,000 views, which is a very good percentage. But considering the number of subscribers, that's a bad percentage, 5,000. 13,000 views. Now, Malik, you've succeeded in the field, but you need to pay attention to a third thing, which is video, whether it's the thumbnail or the

[05:14] very good, but you just need to focus on the last thing. You've good ideas. The third thing, which you haven't paid much attention to, is editing. It's going well, videos, and I think that's a good ratio.

[05:28] Of course, you've been posting for two years and then you disappeared, and that means, honestly, you're not consistent at all in this field. So, you've succeeded in the field. Secondly, the idea. Here, your idea might be that you create educational content, for example. tell you that your problem is consistency. Try to choose good ideas that people are interested

[05:42] but some people like to see the result of programming, if you make a game, for example. For example, Mody, by nature, has days without code, so try to pay a little attention to the video idea, but also pay attention to the thumbnail. The video itself is a montage, and the last thing is consistency. I mean, two years, one year,

[05:56] ten months, four months, come on, it's unfair, Kaito. One video, of course. So, the first video, " Hello, today I'm giving you Gino's three strongest shadows." Look, said "Hello, today I'm giving you," for example, "Gino's three strongest shadows." If you imagine who

[06:10] Gino's three strongest shadows are, and the last one, you won't believe who it is. So, first, you achieved three things: first, you did a good job with the code; second, you gave them good information, for example, who the three strongest are; third, you made them curious about who the last one is, so they'll finish the

[06:23] video. So, first, as a field, second, the video idea might be good, but last, the video itself, as a script, as a montage, as a thumbnail, is also not... I mean, it's not So, you should try to make sure you have a good script and pay attention to the editing and thumbnail. Now, let's move on to the fourth

[06:37] video, which has only 623 views. You've probably uploaded other videos and deleted them. For example, you uploaded other videos and deleted them. For example, you

[06:52] say, "I tried making money by walking, and the result surprised me, just like I do now." Then the video title would be good. Secondly, the thumbnail isn't great; it's not the best. make the thumbnail better. And the video itself—let's look at it, for example: "Indeed,

[07:05] the video itself—let's look at it, for example: "Indeed, Allah and His angels Allah and His angels send blessings upon the Prophet [music] O you who have believed, send blessings upon him and grant him peace." This is

[07:22] very important at the beginning of this video. The whole video is literally the same format. You need to pay a little more attention to the video production. Of course, you've included a Quranic verse, which is rewarding, but as I mentioned, you need to focus on the first 30 seconds. Try placing it

[07:36] at specific times. You want people to watch the entire video, so instead of putting it in the very first 30 seconds, put it in the middle. Create your hook, adjust it, and make people pay attention and understand the video. Then, add the Quranic verse, as it carries reward. After that,

[07:48] continue your video. As I said, the first 30 seconds are the most important in the entire video. If you don't put effort into them, the video won't reach its audience. So, first, try to improve the video title; make it much better and more engaging. The editing should also be well done. Okay,

[08:01] guys, just so everyone doesn't get upset, I'll quickly explain what you learned from this video. First, we evaluate based on three specific things, the first being... The field is important, and you have an idea here, and then the video. This is one of the three main reasons that determine whether a

[08:14] video gets views or not. First, the field: choose a specific field. Don't confuse yourself. For example, choosing history will yield good results. The idea itself is to find viral ideas. For example, you can search on YouTube and see which ideas got

[08:26] good views. Then you can start thinking about making a video. Each of these conditions has its own specific requirements. I'm speaking generally because the video will take a lot of time. The field, of course, needs to be in demand, meaning it has good views, like English or history. So, you've

[08:39] succeeded in the field. The idea itself needs to be viral, meaning it gets good views and people are interested in it. Not just any idea you upload will be good, even if you put a lot of effort into editing, if the idea itself doesn't attract people. The idea needs to go viral through search.

[08:52] good editing, of course, that's obvious; good editing; a professional script; the video, for example, has a good thumbnail; and lastly, and most importantly, keywords. All of these are very important, whether in the video title,

[09:06] description, hashtags, or video settings. Sorry I went on a bit, but I tried my best to explain most of what I know in a very simple way, and through practical explanations. As

[09:19] many people commented, so I can't do all of that; it would take me more than an hour and a half or two hours. But the point of the video is for you to learn, not for me to give you a personal evaluation. So, if you liked the video, don't forget to like and subscribe. Thanks for watching, and peace out. Yeah.
