Hi TYM forum, this is sth Ive been asking myself for a while and I have noticed this with quite many MK11 or other fighting game youtube channels as well.
Just for instance look at the MK11 youtube content uploader Raivazz, he has only 3k subscribers, but he gets 30k - 40k views for each single video which gets uploaded.
Where do the other 27000 views for each single video he uploads come from with only 3k subscribers?
Raivazz for instance only uploads replays of himself playing MK11 without any commentary.
Also Emri MK11, last time I checked he had like 4k subscribers, but he gets 20k - 100k views for each single video.
Im asking myself as a content creator where do all these views come from and how do each single of your videos get so many views with only 3k subscribers and without any website actually promoting your content.
I asked Raivazz once what his secret is and all he said was "knowing how youtube works will help you" - this doesn't help me much.
Is it the youtube tags a person uses, or the thumbnail or the title of a video which gets your video at youtube's recommended page every single time to get more views or is there sth else these youtubers have been doing to get
their videos so popular?
This is something I really can't explain and I would really appreciate, if anyone can give me tips or explain it to me how youtube actually works like this.
Because whenever I ask one of these youtubers I always get an answer like the one above " knowing how youtube works will help" or "Liang, you just need to make better videos"
Some of you might know me, Ive been creating fighting game content - tutorials, combo vids, montages & highlight videos since over 10 years mainly for SF, but also other fighting games.
Eventhubs and SRK forums have been supporting me and promoting my videos over all this time, when they promote my videos I can get about 10k views, but without
any promotion of a website my videos usually average only 3k views.
Sometimes Im working 3-4 weeks just on one single video, everyday I come home from work I sit @ my PC and start working up to 3 hours on a new video & ending up releasing a video after 2 weeks just getting
2-3k views is really discouraging.
I love fighting games, but working on videos can take away a lot of real life time.
Probably many ppl wont read all this, but thanks to anyone who actually does.
I would really appreciate any tip from any other fighting game youtube content creator can give me here.
Thanks for reading.
