Most people start a YouTube channel the wrong way.
They pick a niche they love.
- Record a video.
- Upload it.
- Wait for views.
- Get disappointed.
- Quit.
Here is the right way 👇
Before you record anything do this first.
- Go to YouTube.
- Search your niche.
- Find the top 5 channels.
- Look at their most viewed videos - from the last 6 months only.
- Not their oldest viral videos.
- Their recent ones.
This tells you what the algorithm is currently rewarding.
Not what worked two years ago.
- Now go to NotebookLM.
- Paste the links of their top 4 - performing recent videos.
Ask it:
"What topics, structures and patterns make these videos perform well right now?"
- Take everything it gives you to Claude AI.
Type:
"Based on this analysis give me 5 original video ideas that follow these patterns but bring a fresh angle."
Now write your script from one of those ideas.
Your first video is now built on data.
- Not guesswork.
- Not hope.
- Data.
The difference in results will surprise you.
Most channels fail not because the creator lacked talent.
But because they skipped the research and went straight to the recording.
