Wow, 300,000

I woke up this morning to some wonderful news.

A video that I posted a month or so ago has just crossed 300,000 views.

Check it out:

So what does this mean? because views are important but at the same time useless.

Here are some consequences to having a video go viral on a channel.

#1.

I now have a large audience of people (way more than the 5,500 in the screenshot because not everyone subscribes) who are interested in the content of that video.

That audience will likely want more of that type of content.

#2.

Do I want to continue creating that type of content? That is the question…

The issue with a lot of creators is they create content just for the views, and then when they have a channel that has an audience interested in random videos, you will also have a random audience.

So, when you create videos to chase views, just understand that any video on your channel can go viral. To keep your audience happy, you will need to create only that kind of content.

A lot of creators hate this AND don’t understand it.

#3.

Not all consequences are negative.

The good consequence of this video going viral is the revenue. It’s generated about 5K in USD.

This should help me see that this type of content is successful, and it would be wise to continue creating it if I want to continue generating revenue.

#4.

I know more about my audience, what they like, and how they like it. I just need to replicate the process.

Having the same type of content, I can make further iterate to make the content perfect and have my “attention generator”. (for more on attention generators, join my community! )
