Exactly, dunno why a lot of the comments are still talking about luck after watching this even though everything was all planned out.

I mean also leeching off of bigger people is part of the main process. Mr. Beast got his initial hype by gaining attraction from PewDiePie. This experiment was made with the intention in mind to get initial viewership from Mizkifs audience and then have the algorhythm do it's thing and recommend it to more people. So really the secret ingredient is: Making a video about already successful people and putting them in your thumbnail/title and build off of that.

@@gear2902 he crafted a product that he knows would be marketable and then invested money into marketing it there is very little luck, you can absolutely do the same in making something that a streamer will react to and then paying that streamer for exposure you "just" need to make something that is high quality enough and marketable, not something that is good and luck.

@@NinJimi oh I 100% agree. People can't like your work of you don't show it to them. But it's more of a test on the algorithm. If something very good is posted online but you don't boost it in any way. How far will you video go?

@@sennagroothof6092 thats why this industry isnt just skill based but it's still a lot of luck involved. a video unpromoted could lie around for years with no views or blow up within the first 24 hours. it's totally random.

For this i think NinJimi gave the right idea: network. But on top of that i think consistency is also a game changer in this industry. But yeah, network is the main thing every creator should look for. Put me as an example: when I tried to be a streamer - just quit the streaming job because i found out that was not what i want in my life - i've got like from 6 to 16 viewers daily (who actually was engaging and chatting in my stream). I've got that because i had some friends and acquaintances that liked my personality and enjoyed what they were seeing. At the end of my "career" i was already getting some strangers in my livestreams and some ganks from famous streamers in my country. Networking, Consistency and Creativity. Do what you want, share your project and keep improving it and bringing new ideas.

@@xChitenshi I think people forget that if you are trying to start up as a streamer or content uploader, you're essentially starting up your own business. A lot of people have an issue with putting some money up to advertise their content, but business owners have to promote all the time. It's the same concept, if you want to stream as a job then you have to treat it like a business. To be fair, starting up a business as a streamer is a lot cheaper than starting up a business with a shop in a physical location. Ludwig also made a good point, you don't need to pay for editors or voice actors (he had to get a voice actor because his voice would be recognized and he got an editor because he has other channels and a steam to handle), he even made it a point that you can easily "get" the editing software you need. Honestly, it just comes down to putting the effort. People can't expect to grow big without putting money into their business. If a video blows up in a few hours compared to others, it means they have done some form of marketing on the internet or even in their social life, and that they probably had a good video out.

Same here bud ! Lol I wish it was this easy haha

So hopefully this isn't taken negatively but here's some feedback for how I perceived it: I decided to check out your channel real quick and watched the very beginning of your two latest videos. The first one starts with a really annoying sound of the camera being put down, which really isn't good at the start of a video, that sound annoys me and makes me wanna leave rather than catch my attention. The second-to-last video (donating your hair) is in a quiet room with just you talking, but has an annoying loud level of white noise behind. I'm really sensitive to sounds. It sounds really cheap. It's ok in the car and all but at the very beginning I feel like in a quiet room in your own space I would expect really good sound. Rest of the video seems fine, the hair cutting and all, but here's just the reason why I, personally, was immediately kind of reluctant to keep watching on my part. I know it's dumb reasons but... yeah. That's me. Hopefully this is useful in any way.

I'm confused. He literally created this channel live. Using *his* influence doesn't make any sense for this project. It IS mostly luck based, there are billions of videos and millions of channels, no matter how *skilled* you are, it's not going to be easy to succeed.

@@samwarren6008 He actually didn't create it live. Still, though, not everyone knows Mizkif on a personal level to the point that they can exploit that to get their video in front of his audience.

iirc he did work in marketing/advertising or something like that before he started streaming. The man knows how to engage

The only thing this proves is that youtube has become absolute garbage after being bought by google. Clickbaits and low quality or low effort content are being pushed over anything else. Playing the numbers game will make you successful while the channels that actually produce quality content can't keep up, because you can't produce a quality video every single day unless you're doing something irrelevant like playing popular video games in which case it's easy to produce content and this is why irrelevant content has completely flooded this platform. To the point where the "do not recommend channel" feature doesn't work at all because if you're trying to keep meta content out of your feed there's dozends if not hundreds of similar garbage channels replacing the one you just removed.

I don’t see that as a problem in any way

Yes it cannot be with just any topic, you just need to know what you are talking about. Ludwig know what he is talking about when it comes to streamers, so it make sense for him to do streamer content. Good content, good title, and good thumbnail is the key to me and Ludwig. An example of NOT doing something about popular streamer is Mr. Beast's endurance video that is ridiculous long. It's ridiculous so it is good content and has eye-grabbing title and thumbnail

The concepts ludwig uses are the same concepts used in just about every other business. He came up with a product, found his target market, and advertised accordingly. Every business' market is limited to the consumers who make up the market, it's not just a KZfaq thing. Ludwig's chosen topic was just something in high demand, and it showed with how many people came to see it. The key point I see being made here is to market something towards those who want it. As long as the quality is there, anyone could find a streamer who is interested in their topic and donate to get them to watch it for exposure.

@@tylerbarse2866 the ops point is that yes ANYONE could do it, but not on ANYTHING (any topic that is). You have to cater to the demand.

This can definitely be done with different topics, this was just the easiest way to blow

@@mattmurphy7030 But that kind of *is* my point. This video's main point when all is said and done is "pick something popular", which is pretty obvious. But personally I'm more interested in what can be done to get the largest audience possible for one (or any) given topic. And to be fair this video does give a lot in that regard, so it is still very useful. But at the same time its primary advice isn't one that is relevant to anyone that is passionate about a given topic, or would only be interested in creating videos pertaining to something specific, especially if that topic isn't wildly popular.

While this is true for most cases, Lud pretty much showed that you can also find ways to market yourself primarily to an existing audience and pander to them to get recognition, I don't really see the part in this experiment where he got lucky.

and good marketing , he posted on reddit , hooked mizkif chat and had a good video start

Damn a gun watching ludwig

Exactly. This video just proves someone who’s already figured out how to be successful on this platform can do it again. Not to mention someone who is also very witty, has every resource he needs, all the time in the world, and has tons of experience.

You could be the most talented man on KZfaq but if no one gets recommended your videos you won't grow you need luck at the beginning no doubt about it

@@chicklepips3145 Isn’t that what the point of the video is? All Ludwig set out to do was show that he could make a “successful” video without using any assets related to his brand.

@@BenIsShiny this is very much the point of the video though if you had the ability to keep on making banger videos like that one and you post them in the right places eventually it will get picked up, not really luck just time based and depends on where and when you promote your videos
