This channel I started in July will generate ~$15-$25k a month.
I do this by identifying viral formats on YouTube by looking at patterns of outliers. Then bringing those over to new niches and topics.
Here is a 7-step guide on how you can do the same!
1. Understanding what my personal definition of a format is.
When I say "format" I'm referring to the stylistic and structural approach to presenting content.
A video topic is content centered around a specific subject, regardless of its format.
2. What is an outlier?
an outlier is a video that receives vastly higher or lower views compared to a channel's usual videos.
3. Topic outliers
Now in my strategy, there are 2 types of outliers.
- Topic outliers: a video that does way better than average because it was a unique idea, or attached itself to a short-lived trend.
or
- Format outliers: A specific and identifiable video format that does way better than average across multiple channels and (preferable) across multiple niches regardless of topic.
4. Understanding the value of an outlier.
Now not all outliers are equal.
If you're looking to start a new channel you preferably want to look for format outliers on channels that have either recently started or have a low amount of uploads.
5. Finding outliers
Now to find an outlier you can use multiple methods.
1. Scroll your YouTube homepage 2. Go through a bunch of keywords on search looking for high view low sub count channels 3. Using tools like is also a good option https://t.co/6Y91YEna0Ynexlev.io
6. Cross-referencing outliers.
Now once you spot a potential outlier format you wanna try to see if this format has worked on other channels and niches.
You do this by taking some of the titles and searching for them in the same or different niches.
7. Implementing the strategy
Now once you have found an outlier that has worked on multiple niches and channels. Either implement it on one of the niches that it has worked on before (make sure the saturation in that niche is low) or apply the outlier format to a new niche.
That's a wrap!

🧵 This SIMPLE 5-step Process Helps me generate viral YouTube ideas.
Let's first ask ourselves.
How are good ideas generated on a fundamental level?
It might seem obvious yet a lot of people get it wrong.
So let's explore!
1. Gathering raw materials
First, an idea is formed by actively collecting information, both specific (directly related to your channel's niche) and general (broad and diverse channels).
Ideas come from a rich base of knowledge and information. By absorbing a wide range of data, experiences, and perspectives, the mind is equipped with the material necessary for idea generation.
🧵I'm most likely going to sell a large amount of my YouTube channels.
Here's why.
DISCLAIMER: The following thought process is more relevant to me than it is for beginners. I'm in a different stage of my journey on YouTube so what follows does not apply for most.
1. Over the past year, I've been seeing a significant shift in the YouTube industry.
Not only are longer videos doing better, but there has also been a significant shift towards "Branded channels"
I'm losing out on tens of thousands of dollars on YouTube.
Why?
Because I (like many others) suffer from:
✨ Shiny object syndrome ✨
So after a chat with @IAmAndrewKirby about it, I decided to look into fixing it.
Here are the best tips I found.
1️⃣ Stay accountable: Surround yourself with people who keep you on track.
It's easy to go after a shiny new niche, format, or video without having fully tested the one you are currently doing. So make sure you have a support group that isn't afraid to point it out to you!
2️⃣ Stop the comparison game: Don't obsess over others' success.
Don't let other creators' success distract you from what you're currently working on.
If you're chasing what they're doing you will always be 1 step behind.
