3 weeks ago I started a faceless YouTube channel.
I've published 17 AI generated videos since then.
- 10,000+ views
- 88+ Watch hours
- 75 subscribers
Here's what I've learned about the YT algorithm so far 👇
The Algo
First off - Every YT short gets at least 400 views.
The algo tests your content with an initial cohort of viewers.
Determines if its good enough or not, good ones get pushed to more people.
Average ones flatten out at between 400-500 views
3 of my videos crossed 1000+ views.
And they continue to get more views.
The bad ones die out in 24 hours.
Traffic Sources
87%+ of this is YT shorts traffic.
Some of it is me sharing in private groups.
Not optimized any of these videos for SEO yet.
But that's worth exploring in the future.
What's the difference between a good video and a bad video?
I don't know 😅
- The hook
- The topic
- The engagement throughout
Mix of all three
That's what I'm trying to figure out with this channel.
Need a few more videos to pop off to understand better.
How am I creating these videos?
I'm using Autoshorts ai for them.
But the videos it automatically generates aren't good.
So I use ChatGPT or Claude to write the script.
Then upload it into Autoshorts, and then it generates the images and the music.
Still not convinced that this is the best tool/workflow for this.
But this is the fastest approach I could find so far.
I can get a video done in 30 minutes this way.
So I spend a few hours on the weekend and schedule all the videos for the coming week.
One thing I noticed -
The more time I spend on crafting the script, the better the engagement the video gets.
Lazy script leads to dud videos.
So I need to come up with interesting topics and learn to write engaging scripts.
👆THIS is going to be most important skill in the next few years.
As short form video takes over every social media platform, we need to
learn the skill of keeping viewers hooked for longer periods of time.
That's why I'm running this experiment as well.
As a fun side project on the weekends.
Whatever I learn I can apply it back to my main projects then.
That's it for now, lmk if you have any questions.
