There are 4 aspects we will look at: The title, thumbnail, content, and presentation.




....................VIDEO TITLE....................


USE UNNECESSARY CAPITALIZATION AND EXCLAMATIONS MARKS!

How would you get yourself heard in a noisy room? By SCREAMING, amiright? So think of other titles as just noise; you have to distinguish yours so that we can "hear" it LOUD and clear!

Use (and Overuse) the Shock Factor

If screaming won't do it, another way of getting attention is to act like you're in a bad spot and/or have a confession to make. Remember: When things go wrong, your viewership goes right!

Be Vague

Feel free to use words like this/that/something/it and not specify (or make obvious) what you mean until the middle of the video. Curiosity is hard to resist!




...............VIDEO THUMBNAIL...............


Exaggerate Your Facial Expressions

Don't let crappy content prevent you from being successful! If your videos are not as shocking, sad or entertaining as they should be, you can hide that by using thumbnails with exaggerated facial expressions. Just like teaching emotions to a baby so that he can reciprocate them!

What's THAT?

Similarly to vague titles, thumbnails with unrecognizable objects and/or awkward-looking situations are excellent click magnets!

Use Pretty Colors

Would people be so compelled to play Candy Crush if it had ugly colors? That's why your thumbnails should have bright hues. Apart from catching people's eye, they will hypnotize them long enough to click on your video!




.................VIDEO CONTENT.................


Do Ridiculous Challenges

Some examples include the cinnamon challenge, ghost pepper challenge, chubby bunny, etc. Your predecessors fought hard for you to someday film yourself with a mouthful of marshmallows. Make them proud!

Add Some Drama

Reality TV shows are addicting. Talking trash and straining your relationships (or pretending to) can pay big time!

Make Everything Important

So you're eating a tuna sandwich. Who cares, right? Wrong! Pick up your camera and broadcast it like it's the news story of the year!

Create Need

Get paid to advertise stuff. To make sure people watch your video even if they hate ads, you can disguise it as being about something else, and somewhere towards the middle, sneak in a product placement. Surprises are fun!




............VIDEO PRESENTATION............


Be Highly Enthusiastic

Talk, talk, talk. So what if you're rambling about details? Just keep the flow of claptrap going!

Add Some Background Music

Whoever said silence was golden probably didn't want to get famous on YouTube. Adding a good beat to block out every millisecond of silence will keep your audience focused, in case your content cannot do that!

Be Lavish

Simplicity is for the simple. Show off how rich you are (or pretend to be if you're not), so that people will keep watching (and enriching) you!

Integrity Shmintegrity

That's too complicated. I mean sure you could be patient and create some genuinely good and honest content, as a show of respect for the people watching you. Maybe your viewers don't need to be "impressed" to appreciate you as an individual. And perhaps you could earn a loyal following without the use of clickbaits or assuming that people have the attention span of a squirrel...

But why bother, just follow the tips above to grow your channel the right way!
