How I Got 800M+ Views With YouTube Shorts

The creator shares their success story of achieving over 800 million views and 600,000 subscribers on YouTube Shorts in just five months, resulting in approximately $75,000 in earnings. The video promises to reveal the secrets behind this success, including a simple niche that anyone can start with no prior knowledge of YouTube automation.

Why This Is NOT a Get-Rich-Quick Scheme

The creator emphasizes that the strategies discussed are not a get-rich-quick scheme, as it took them five months to achieve their results. The video is intended for those willing to invest time and effort, rather than seeking instant success.

Creating a YouTube Channel That the Algorithm Trusts

The video addresses the importance of building channel trust from the beginning to avoid limited initial reach, which is often mistaken for shadowbanning. To build trust, the creator advises using an older Google account with established activity history, including search, watch, and comment history. Alternatively, a new account can be "warmed up" for 5-7 days by engaging in normal user activities like watching, liking, and commenting on videos before uploading any content.

How to Warm Up a New Google Account Properly

If you don't have an old account, create a brand new account, but warm it up for 5-7 days to build those histories by watching videos daily, like videos, comment naturally, subscribe to the channel you love, and avoid uploading immediately. Act like a real human.

Setting Up Your Channel (Logo, Banner & Verification)

The creator outlines the steps to properly set up a YouTube channel, including verifying the phone number in the feature eligibility settings to avoid appearing low trust. While the creator didn't find keywords particularly important for Shorts, they advise keeping the logo and channel banner simple. For the logo, using a face or recognizable figure is recommended to capture audience attention. The banner should be designed within Canva using a template with borders to ensure visibility on all devices.

The Viral Shorts Content Strategy Explained

The video transitions to content strategy, focusing on monetization by achieving 1,000 subscribers and 10 million views. The creator shares that they monetized their channel in under 30 days. Instead of warming up the account, the creator advises using that time to find trending videos.

How to Find Viral YouTube Shorts Topics

To find viral topics, the creator recommends opening YouTube in incognito mode to avoid personalized feeds and identify genuinely trending content. Search for heartwarming or heroic stories, filter by Shorts, and look for videos that are already going viral. By checking the description, you can see the total views and when it was posted. The goal is to recreate these videos, not steal them.

Recreating Viral Videos Without Copyright Problems

The creator emphasizes the importance of recreating rather than stealing videos to comply with YouTube's policies and avoid copyright strikes, which can lead to channel termination. Recreating successful ideas allows you to leverage proven content while staying within YouTube's guidelines.

The Secret AI Method

The creator mentions a simple AI method for consistently finding good video topics, but can't share it in the video because if the exact strategy becomes public, a lot of people will start copying it and the niche could become saturated very quickly. The creator has included that method along with the entire workflow on Gumroad where everything is broken down step by step.

The Script Method That Keeps People Watching

The creator shares their method for scripting videos, which involves obtaining the transcript of a trending video and adding a unique spin. The script can be written manually or rewritten using ChatGPT, with a recommendation to review the AI-generated content for accuracy.

Free AI Voiceover Method (Unlimited)

For voiceovers, the creator recommends Google AI Studio, which is free and unlimited. The process involves using the text-to-speech feature, selecting a speaker, pasting the script, and choosing a voice. The generated voiceover can then be downloaded.

Finding the Characters for Your Story Videos

To find footage for videos, the creator first identifies the characters in the story and converts them into a 3D style using tools like ChatgPT. The characters are then separated for individual use.

Generating Visual Prompts With AI

The creator uses AI to generate visual scenes for each line of the script, ensuring that the number of scenes matches the number of lines. The AI-generated prompts are then used to create visuals.

Creating Viral AI Images for Shorts

The creator uses Nano Banana Pro to generate visuals, but suggests Whisk as a free alternative. The process involves uploading characters, pasting prompts for each scene, selecting relevant characters, and generating images with a 9:16 aspect ratio.

Turning AI Images Into Short Videos

To turn images into videos, the creator recommends Grock, which offers around 10 free generations per day. Auto video generation should be turned off in the settings to maintain full control. The process involves uploading the image, pasting the prompt, and generating the video in a 9:16 aspect ratio.

Editing Viral YouTube Shorts (CapCut Method)

The editing process involves using a video editor like CapCut to add value and avoid being marked as inauthentic content. The creator advises importing the voiceover and visuals, adjusting the pacing of the voiceover, arranging the clips, adding the original image and a heart emoji at the end, incorporating sound effects and transitions, adding captions, and including background music.

Uploading Shorts Correctly for Maximum Reach

The creator emphasizes that the type of content posted affects earnings due to YouTube's RPM (revenue per mille) system. English-speaking countries generally have higher RPMs, so using English voiceovers and captions can help. The creator advises against using VPNs, as RPM is based on viewer location, not upload location.

Understanding YouTube Shorts RPM & Monetization

The creator explains that YouTube pays based on RPM, which is the revenue per 1,000 views. RPM is affected by the audience's location, with English-speaking countries typically having higher RPMs. The creator advises using English voiceovers and captions to attract viewers from these countries.

Common Mistakes That Kill Your Views

The creator warns against using VPNs to upload content, as it can signal suspicious activity and doesn't affect RPM, which is based on viewer location.

Uploading With The YouTube App

The uploading process involves using the YouTube app, selecting the video, choosing a song from the YouTube audio library, entering a title with highly searched keywords, and using the hashtag #shorts. The creator advises selecting the best moment as a thumbnail and ensuring the correct audience setting. After posting, the creator recommends leaving the video alone to allow the algorithm to work.

Escaping YouTube “Views Jail”

The creator advises that if a channel doesn't grow within the first month and remains stuck at low views, it's best to start a new channel or use a different account. YouTube's algorithm places invisible labels on channels based on early video performance, making it difficult to break out of a pattern of low views.

The Retention Psychology Strategy

The creator introduces the concept of retention psychology, emphasizing that the YouTube algorithm prioritizes audience retention. If viewers stay on a video, YouTube pushes it to more people. The audience retention graph indicates whether people are leaving quickly, which affects the video's reach.

The Hook, Body & Reward Viral Formula

The creator breaks down a video into three psychological parts: the hook, the body, and the reward. The hook, which is the first 3 seconds, is crucial for grabbing the viewer's attention. The body should consist of universal and easy-to-understand clips with fast pacing and frequent cuts. The reward, which is the ending, should provide a payoff to lock in engagement.

Consistency Strategy for Growing a Channel

The creator recommends rewatching the video to fully understand the strategies. They also suggest exploring a YouTube automation playlist for profitable niches and strategies. The video concludes by encouraging viewers to like the video and subscribe to the channel.

0:00 I broke the YouTube algorithm, getting over 800 million views with over 600,000 subscribers. In 5 months, I've made close to $75,000. In this video, I'm going to reveal all the secrets, including a simple niche that anyone can start today, even if you know nothing about YouTube automation. All right, before we get into the actual video, I want to mention that this is not a get-rich scheme. It took me 5 months to achieve this result. So, if you're for quick success, then I'm sorry. This video is not for you. Let's get started. All right, we're going to start with creating the channel. This is simple, and I know anyone can do it. But there are a few things you need to do to avoid your channel from getting zero views. The thing is, YouTube does not officially confirm shadowbanning the way other platforms do. What usually happens

0:46 is that new channels get limited initial reach. So, instead of avoiding shadowban, what you really want is building channel trust from day one. Here's how to properly set up your YouTube channel to avoid triggering low trust signals. Use an old Google account that has normal activity history. Why? Older accounts have search history, watch history, comment history, natural behavior patterns that builds trust. But if you don't have an old account, then here's what I'll recommend. Create a brand new account, but warm it up for 5 7 days to build those histories. I mean, watch videos daily, like videos, comment naturally, subscribe to the channel you love, and avoid uploading immediately. Act like a real human. Next, go to settings, channel, and feature eligibility.

1:33 Make sure you verify your phone number. Don't just leave it. Unverified channels look low trust. Now, the keywords, I'm going to be honest with you, I didn't add any keywords here. Per my experience, I don't think this really matters for a short channel, but you can go ahead and add some keywords later on, but right now, I need you to follow what I'm showing. For the logo and channel banner, you need to keep it simple. Yeah, don't make things complicated. So, for the logo, I recommend you use a face or a recognizable figure. The human brain is obsessed with faces. We even imagine faces in random objects. So, if your channel has a face or a character, your audience will notice you faster and click more often. I'm going to use this. And since the image is in a square shape, there's no need to resize it. I'll just upload it here. For the banner, just open Canva. In the

2:20 search bar, simply enter YouTube banner. Now, you're going to choose the one you like here, but you need to make sure it has borders like this one. The reason is we want the banner to show on all devices. I'm going to go with this one here. Now, just change the text and the color to your preference. Remember to keep everything in this space. All right. You're going to download it by clicking share. Click on download. And here, click download again. Now you can upload it here and hit publish. If you've completed this first step, congratulations. You're already ahead of the 99% of people you say they'll start but never do. All right, we're going to move on to the next step, but I kindly ask you to use 5 seconds of your time to like the video and subscribe to the channel. Now that your channel is ready,

3:06 our next focus is to get monetized. You all know the rules, so we need a strategy to get 1,000 subscribers and at least 10 million views before we can get monetized. That sounds like a lot, but relax. I got this exact channel monetized in less than 30 days, and I've achieved this result in 5 months. Just chill. You know what? Instead of wasting time warming up your account, what I want you to do is to use that time to find trending videos. Let me show you the actual example I used to create one of my recent videos that's currently at 37 million views. You're going to open YouTube on your new account, but if you're doing this on an old account, I recommend you do this incognito. This way, your feed is not personalized and YouTube shows you what is actually trending. Next, search for heartwarming or heroic stories or any story you like.

3:51 Click on shorts. Now, instead of finding the best topic, we'll do this instead. We're going to find videos that are going viral and recreate them. So, keep scrolling and once you get the trending video, open up the description to see the total views and when it was posted. Once you get the video you like, then it's time to recreate it. Let me show you this worked for me. This is a video I found some weeks ago, and it's a simple story about a boy who dreams of playing basketball. He really wants to practice, but his parents can't afford to buy him a basketball hoop. One day, a kind neighbor shares his story on Facebook and asks people for help. Because of that kindness, the boy finally gets the basketball hoop he always dreamed of. As you can see, even though this video is a month older, mine has gotten more views. So, I repeated this idea once per day, and I had

4:38 infinite ideas that are proven to work. This strategy is so good because instead of starting from scratch to get ideas that are set up to fail, we reverse engineer the virality of our video by leveraging what's already working for our audience. But here's where you need to be careful. Notice why I asked you to recreate instead of steal. If you steal videos, YouTube kills your channel. You're not only going to make no money, but you'll also get hit by copyright strikes. And when it happens like that, YouTube might remove your channel. This is why I never try stealing videos, but recreate them to comply with the YouTube policies and guidelines. But if this step is complicated for you, then I actually have a simple method I use with AI to consistently find good video topics. But I can't really share everything here in this video because if the exact strategy becomes public, a lot

5:25 of people will start copying it and the niche could become saturated very quickly. So I decided to leave that part for people who are serious about doing this. I've included that method along with the entire workflow on Gumroad where I break down everything step by step. Just so you know, it's not free, but inside you'll get the full system. Plus, I've also added a private WhatsApp group where you can share your channel and I'll personally review it and help you improve. The link will be in the video description. And even if you don't have any budget to spend, don't worry because I use the strategy I'm showing right now. So, where do I find script to create my videos? It's simple. I get the transcript of the video I'm modeling, then add my own spin. I usually write the script myself and you can also do that. Yeah, that's better. But if you can't go with that method, then you can ask chatgpt to rewrite it for you. Just make sure you read through. Yeah, AI

6:12 makes mistakes sometimes. Once the script is ready, you can go ahead and generate the voice over. I use Google AI Studio for the voice. It's also 100% free and unlimited. On the homepage, hit on playground. Go to text to speech and here pick the first option. Select a single speaker from this tab and then paste your script. Click here to pick the voice you like. Now you can hit the run button and you'll get something like this. >> She was in danger and only one kid saw it in time. >> All right, just hit the three dots and select download to save it. So where do you find footage for your videos? First, I find the actual characters in the story. Then change the style to 3D. Let's use this story as an

6:58 example. First, I'll get the actual characters. Sometimes they'll be in a single image like this one. If it's not, then you'll have to find them one by one. Once I get the image, I'll then give it to ChatgPT and ask it to convert it to a 3D style. You can see it gave me this image here, but separating it won't be easy. So, I asked it to separate the characters and give me three separate characters. I then opened it with the normal photo software in my Windows, then separated them one by one. If you can't use the photo editor on your PC, you can also use Canva. Next, I asked it to give me visual scenes for all the lines. And it gave me these prompts, but you realize it gave me eight scenes here. Meanwhile, the

7:44 scenes were supposed to be 10 because the script has 10 lines. So, I asked it to regenerate it and it finally gave me 10 scenes. This is why I always say you should go through everything you generate using AI. Now, we can generate the visuals and then convert it into videos. I'm going to be sincere with you. I use Nano Banana Pro for this step, but you can start with Whisk. It's 100% free and I think it's unlimited, too. You can see that they're moving Wis to Flow on this date. So, this step may change a bit in future. All right. Start by uploading all your characters here. To add the next character, just hit on this plus button. Once done, just paste the prompt for the

8:30 first scene. Select the characters that appear in the prompt. For instance, the old man and the boy appeared in the first prompt. So, I'll select those two characters. Now set the aspect ratio to 9 by6 and generate. Just repeat these same steps to generate all the scene images. All right, now let's turn your images into videos. First, open Grock and create a free account. You get around 10 free generations per day, which is more than enough for this process. Now, instead of going straight to generate the video, do this instead. Click on your profile icon and go to settings. On the left side, click behavior. Scroll down and turn auto video generation off. This is important because it gives you full control and prevents you from wasting

9:16 your free generations. Now go back and click on imagine from the left menu. Click the image icon, then switch it to video mode. Make sure the aspect ratio is set to 9 by 16 vertica format for shorts. Next, paste your prompt into the box and upload the image you created using that prompt. Once everything is ready, click generate. That's it. Repeat the same steps to create the rest of your videos. Now, moving to editing. Once you have all the clips, you'll need to edit them. To do this, you're going to open your video editor, which is in this case Cap Cut, but you can also use Premiere Pro, Da Vinci, or any other app you prefer. The main reason behind the editing isn't just joining the clips to form a single

10:03 video, but to add value so YouTube won't market as inauthentic content and avoid our channel from being demonetized. Start by importing the voice over and the visuals which are the videos you generated on Grock. Next, add the voice over to the audio track. Now, instead of going straight away to arrange the clips on the top of the voiceover, you need to do this instead. You need to listen to the voice over and change the pacing by adding pauses and cutting out pauses. I do this to maintain the viewer's attention for as long as possible. Once you're cool with the voice over, you can go ahead and arrange the clips according to the voice over.

10:51 After arranging the clips to meet the length of the voice over, I then add the original image of the story at the end and the mending heart emoji. Now I can add sound effects to where it is needed and add smooth transitions. Always make sure to add captions. Finally, add the background music. Adjust the volume and you're done. You just made your first video. >> She was in danger and only one kid saw it in time. [music] 9-year-old Owen had just gotten off the bus on a snowy afternoon. Two houses down, [music] he saw his neighbor sitting at the bottom of the steps. Something wasn't right. The man [music] barely responded, so

11:36 Owen ran home and told his parents. They rushed [music] back, brought him inside, and called 911. Doctors later said a few more [music] minutes could have changed everything. When asked why he helped, Owen said, "I just thought it was a good idea. This process takes me just about 60 minutes, and it's the only work I do for one day. Honestly, YouTube shorts are one of the easiest ways to make money right now. On good days, I can make more than $2,000 just by doing 60 minutes of work, which is basically nothing. I've put the entire workflow on Gumroad, and you'll find the link in the video description. We're already done with the most difficult parts, so don't stop there. Posting is definitely the easiest part of the process, but you'd be surprised how many people still mess it up. First and foremost, the type of content you post determines how much

12:22 your channel can earn. That's because YouTube pays based on your RPM, which stands for revenue per mele. In simple terms, RPM is how much YouTube pays you every time your video reaches 1,000 views. So, what affects your RPM? Your audience. Views from some countries pay more than others. For example, English-speaking countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia usually have much higher RPMs compared to many other parts of the world. That's why using English voiceovers and captions can help. The more viewers you attract from English-speaking countries, the higher your chances of increasing your RPM. But you need to pay attention. Never use a VPN to upload your content. I repeat, never. Why? First, it can signal to the algorithm that your activity looks suspicious or automated. Second, it

13:10 doesn't even help. A VPN only changes where your video is uploaded from, not where it's actually watched. An RPM is based on where your viewers are, not your upload location. So, if you want a higher RPM, focus on creating content that attracts English-speaking audiences. Now that you understand that, open the YouTube app on your phone and tap the plus icon. Select the video you created and tap next. Then choose a song if you'd like. Don't worry about copyright. Music from the YouTube audio library is safe to use. Everything in the YouTube library is cleared for creators. When entering your title, make sure it contains highly searched keywords. And of course, you'll also find how to pick the best titles in the workflow on Gumroad. For hashtags, the only hashtag I use here is just #

13:57 shorts, but you can include one or two extra if you want. Sometimes I also put #heartwarming or #h heroic stories, but honestly hashtags don't really affect the video that much. So what you need to do next is to scroll through the timestamps to find the best moment you think people will click and set it as a thumbnail. This can help your video keep getting traffic even after the algorithm slows down. Next, make sure you check the correct audience setting. It's important that your content is not marked for YouTube kids unless it's actually made for children. This helps the algorithm send your video to the right audience. After that, you can ignore the rest of the settings and simply tap upload short. Once it's posted, don't keep re-watching your own video. Just leave it alone and let the algorithm do its job. Congratulations,

14:42 you've posted your first video. Now, repeat the same process and aim to post at least one video every day. This signals to YouTube that you're consistent [music] and serious about creating content. YouTube always favors long-term consistency over random viral moments. You can post more if you want, especially on Fridays and weekends since these are the days most people watch shorts. Just don't post more than three videos per day. Uploading too many at once can look unnatural and may trigger spam detection. Finally, the most important lesson I learned myself is that if your channel doesn't grow within the first month and keeps getting stuck at zero, 1K views, 30K views, or even 100K views jail, the best move is to start a new channel or use a different account. Why? YouTube algorithm puts invisible labels on your channel based on your early videos performance. If you

15:29 consistently upload videos that get low views, the system may start to assume your content only appeals to a small audience. And once that pattern is established, it can be harder to break out of it. If you keep uploading content that gets low views, then the system learns that your channel is only relevant to a very small audience. It won't push it anymore. Even if your later videos are really good, honestly, I restarted this three times before succeeding this channel, but this varies from person to person. The most important thing is to keep going and improving your videos. And now moving on to our secret tip that took me from this to this. This last step might shift the way you see YouTube entirely. It's about posting in a way that keeps people glued to their screens. I call it retention psychology. Think of the YouTube algorithm as a relentless machine. It

16:15 doesn't care about your niche, your personality, or even your subscriber count. It only cares about one thing, which is retention. If viewers stay on your video, YouTube pushes it to more people. If they swipe away early or only watch small parts, the algorithm slows down or stops pushing it completely. That's it. It's really that simple. And you don't have to guess. You can check this yourself. Click on the video you uploaded and switch to engagement. Scroll down and you'll see your audience retention graph. That graph tells you everything. If the line drops fast, it means people are leaving quickly. And when that happens, YouTube shows your video to fewer people, which also means less money. This is where the retention psychology comes in. We can take psychology and turn it on our side to keep people watching as long as possible. And if you want to understand, you need to think in terms of this. Every video has three psychological parts. the hook, the body, and reward.

17:03 The first one is the hook, and it's the first 3 seconds of your video. And honestly, it matters more than the rest of the video combined. This is where you either grab the viewer or lose them. If you upload a 30-se secondond video, but people scroll away at the 3se secondond mark, the remaining 27 seconds will never be seen. It could be that those 27 seconds were the best video ever, but your viewers will never find out because they scrolled. What's even worse is this. Those 27 seconds make up almost your entire video. If people never watch them, your overall retention drops hard. And when that happens, the algorithm reads it as a weak hook, which kills your chances of going viral. That's why the first few seconds matter so much. You need to give people a reason to stay immediately. Use an audio hook, a visual hook, and a text hook all at once. When you combine all three at once, the viewer's brain gets hit with curiosity

17:49 before their thumb even thinks about scrolling. Now, once you've captured their attention, you move into the second part of the video, the body. The easiest way to build a strong body is to use clips that are universal and easy to understand right away. No confusion, no slow buildup. Keep the pacing fast. Use frequent cuts. Add small zooms. Keep things moving so there's no dead space. And now the final part, the reward. The reward is the ending of your video. This is where you lock in engagement. Put your most rewarding or most outrageous moment at the very end so the viewer feels payoff. Always cut the video immediately after the payoff so you don't drug out your own time. You can also ask one simple call to action like asking them to comment or subscribe, but never overload the viewers. Remember, it's all about retention. And with that

18:36 said, I recommend you rewatch the video again to understand everything clearly. I have a YouTube automation playlist here you can click to check it out. You'll find lots of profitable and low competition niches and best strategies there. Don't forget to like the video and hit subscribe. It's the best way to say thank
