🧵how to master YouTube in 30 days (more technical edition):
people love to say “you can’t learn youtube in 30 days” and they’re right
you can’t master the algorithm, you can’t master editing, you can’t master thumbnails in a month
but you can master the foundation that makes the algorithm feed you forever

30 days is enough to learn the real game
the core mechanics, packaging, data, attention, retention, the things youtube actually rewards

you’re not going to make $10k in a month, that’s not what this is
this is 30 days of learning how youtube thinks, how it measures your videos, how to speak its language so it trusts your channel and starts pushing you
this is the blueprint
one month of work that sets you up for years

this is the blueprint
one month of work that sets you up for years
you sit down and study:
how click-through rate (CTR) decides if your video gets a second chance or dies on arrival
how average view duration (AVD) tells youtube whether people actually care
how retention graphs expose every weak second of your video
how impressions turn into velocity (and velocity turns into trust)
watch channels, but don’t watch for entertainment, study their thumbnails, title patterns, pacing, structure, and hook timing
write it down
reverse engineer it
once you understand that youtube is not emotional, you stop making videos based on what you like and start making them based on what works

if you only mastered one thing this month, make it packaging
this is the part everyone ignores because it’s not as glamorous as editing, but it’s 80% of growth
spend this week studying how to make someone stop scrolling
look at what gets clicks, what creates curiosity gaps, what sparks emotion
your job is to make someone need to click, not want t
practical drills:
pick 20 viral videos from your niche and rewrite their titles in 5 different ways
take 10 thumbnails that blew up and redesign them to feel the structure
you’ll start to see patterns
high contrast
faces that show emotion
words that create tension
movement instead of clutter

the flow of every great video is simple:
hook
that triggers emotion or curiosity
setup
context, what’s at stake? why should they care?
payoff
the body, this is where you deliver what you promised in the title
loop
small hooks mid-video that keep them watching longer (questions, tension, surprises)
outro
your ending should make them want another video

your goal is to post videos and make money, no matter how rough it gets
you’re testing
you’re feeding youtube enough data to understand your content pattern
then, study the numbers:
what video got the highest CTR? why?
what intro had the longest retention? what words did you use?
what thumbnail dropped people? what style didn’t work?
you’ll be shocked by how much you learn in 30 days when you post fast and actually study your feedback

after 30 days, the real game begins:
double down on the format that performed best
outsource the bottleneck that slows you down most (usually editing or thumbnails)
post twice as much in the next 30 days

mastery doesn’t come from doing everything once
it comes from doing the right things until they become automatic

if you learn what youtube rewards, focus on the right metrics, and move faster
you’ll master the game faster than people who’ve been stuck in theory for years
