Until literally a week or so ago i couldn't even pass 40 subscribers with over 100 videos that i've gradually posted over the years.
and then BOOM, a single 3 minute video started getting traction.
Now barely a week later the video just broke 300k views and i just broke 1000 subscribers, with no signs of stopping yet.
Now I haven't made any money or anything, but i think this is a cool showcase of the power of SCALE. its a powerful force indeed
Check this glorious graph: 13937% lol

Congrats dude!
Good Job On the video/
Heres an idea:
Why not put out like 5-10 videos based on your viral content?
Like: 5 Ways To Win at Game
How to know if your game is about to end
How to get better at game
Also, if there are any mod versions of the game or spinoffs.
ALSO, ask the viewers on your viral content (Pin a comment asking what they want to see next from you) and start churning out those videos.
respond to every user question or relevant comments, and keep the viral trend going.
If you don't have a patre-on account make one and post it in the description.
Also get your Social Media Twitter/or Facebook/ or instagram going, so people can keep up with you and the production of videos and other related content.
Good Luck
Congrats dude!
YOUTUBE FAMOUS, COMING FOR YOU!!
i dunno why I'm so excited over this thread.. 3 million views.. congrats
make sure you have some way of funneling them somewhere
You need a splash screen at the end that brings them to your channel or at least telling them to subscribe... this video is gonna get way more views.. put something in the description sending them to your site so you don't lose them
perhaps.. I mean I've never played that game but it looks like a win like that is freakin hardi have a end screen button leading to one of my game trailers, that got 70k views.
the views per hour have since dropped to ~10k per hour.
I just wanna keep things chill lol, someday ill go viral again im sure of it.
perhaps.. I mean I've never played that game but it looks like a win like that is freakin hard
Awesome job man, that's a winning event after slogging through the process.
Don't just wait for Youtube to approve though, if you don't currently have ideas on how else to monetize, at least set up a Patreon account and have at least like a $1-$5/month month tier for people to support you to keep making more videos.
With 5k subscribers + patreon supporters this has high odds of being a nice money maker.
that’s great the video is making you money!
Have you got anything on the backend for it??
if u mean do i have a link to another video at the end of it, yup.
I'd avoid this just because it's his first viral video and you don't want to seem like you're fishing for $. Enjoy the growth and start producing more value-centered content is what I would do. It's ultimately up to you though so go test shit out and congrats man! That;s insane!what about a product or something else you can sell on your website? Or an affiliate offer?
2.5 mil views would be closer to 2000$ in revenue.
soooooo!
small update on video.
It just broke 10 MILLION VIEWS LOL!
Since uploading that shit the channel has earned 7 GRAND! and im at 22k subs!

This shit has blew my mind, i may literally break 10k in savings for first time in my life thanks to this video lol
Never in my life would i have imagine some 2 minute video would result in such things.
Just when the virality died down to 15 buck a day, some famous youtuber with 14 million subs used my clip in his video on the game and that caused my video to go viral all over again lol.
Since my video is on the first page for any "paper.io" searches, its basically guaranteed to get a burst of views if anyone popular makes a video on the game lol
Pretty crazy stuff, definitely my first real success hustling on my own.
Will post again at 20 Mil haha

I’m curious if you can piggyback off other people’s videos with huge view counts? How can your video become the top suggested video that automatically plays after theirs?
I’d have thought that figuring out the algorithm and then feeding it is exactly what the YouTube growth guys are doing?You cant. That's determined by the algorithm.
It would be carnage if you could!

Thanks, honestly i just forgot all about growth after few years and had zero expectations. I just tried to make gameplay videos to improve my editing skills and hope for the best.This whole thread screams process and scale, and I love it! Holy shit. Seeing those YouTube numbers, the millions of views, the ten thousands of subscribers, and the hundred thousand percentage rise in views, is such an awesome real life showcase of scale and what's possible, that it's just freakin awesome
I was going to post my comment regarding to your first posts, but then I saw this:
Congrats for the massive improvement!
I agree with others, you've put the work (process) and now you are starting to get rewards (events). 100 videos is A LOT, I admire your persistence instead of giving up after the first 50. Noted.
BTW now you know better what works and what not, I can only see more hits like this one in the future I'm very happy for you.
I watched the video. Well, its not about algorithm or lucky chance. Your game play technique really is very good and unique. People who are competing needed something like that. Hence your video went viral.
Now you can search for some other trending games, play and find some unique or gracious techniques to pull the WIN, Record and get Lucky every time!
You can ride the momentum buddy.
good video.BTW, @Roli gave me an idea. Here is one quite famous game dev youtuber in the indie game dev community who explains the money he makes on youtube and other things (spoiler: patreon, as other people have mentioned). The first few minutes are about youtube. Not sure it'll be useful for you, as it's a bit different niche (same industry though), but worth trying:

Marked notable at least. ( @MJ DeMarco )
I wanted to post a video from an English guy talking about his earnings. He basically advised to use Amazon affiliate links, merch, and Patreon links to boost revenue as well. Sorry couldn't find him, this guy below is annoying as F*ck, but he does explain his ad revenue. Spoiler alert it's about $3000, roughly $3 per 1000 views.
