  • all the secrets...

  • to getting famous,

  • here on YouTube.

  • So, come with me on a journey.

  • But first!

  • Let me put on my glasses,

  • to give you the illusion

  • that I'm actually smart.

  • AND LET'S GO!

  • ALRIGHT!

  • I know you guys are gonna find this one hard to believe

  • but secret number 1...

  • is

  • you actually have to make videos. (DUH)

  • (Laughter)

  • And you might be surprised but

  • at least a couple times a week

  • I get someone asking me:

  • "Hey can you give my channel a shout out? Can you give me a shout out?",

  • and sometimes I go and check out

  • their channel.

  • AND A LOT OF THE TIME!

  • Here's what I see.

  • No uploads.

  • No channel.

  • But now you may be thinking

  • "AW MAN!

  • That's a lot of work.

  • I gotta be good at creating videos,

  • and I gotta be funny."

  • WRONG!

  • Making actually good videos, is bad.

  • I mean look at this video I stumbled upon fairly recently.

  • It's one of the funniest and smartest comedy music videos I have seen in awhile.

  • And it clearly took them weeks

  • and thousands of dollars to make.

  • But after four months, they finally just hit 10,000 views.

  • NAW GUYS!

  • You got it all wrong!

  • What you gotta do is create:

  • BAD VIDEOS.

  • That's what people wanna see here on YouTube.

  • Set up the tripod,

  • one take,

  • and bam!

  • 10 Million views.

  • SEE?

  • "Ah man but even creating bad videos means i gotta be creative,

  • and come up with ideas."

  • WRONG!!!

  • Secret Number 2...

  • Just copy other youtubers!

  • Alright,

  • so what kinda videos should i copy?

  • Well,

  • SECRET#3

  • 'Fake Pranks'

  • Don't be like Steve Green and do real pranks and get 100,000 of views.

  • Fake your pranks and get millions of views!

  • Secret #4

  • Challenges...

  • - Oreo Challenge -

  • - Oreo Challenge - - Soda Challenge -

  • - Oreo Challenge - - Soda Challenge - - Chinnamon Challenge -

  • Whatever challenges have been done before, you just redo `em yourself!

  • Secret #5

  • I don't think we need to go onto a whole lot of detail here,

  • which leads into Secret #6.

  • Minecraft!

  • Do anything Minecraft and you are guaranteed to become famous.

  • (Music)

  • Secret #7

  • Five Nights at Freddy's.

  • But I gotta warn you:

  • Once you start making videos for them, you cant stop.

  • Take it from from my buddy KSick who's now being told he should die,

  • because he stopped make "Five Nights at Freddy" videos.

  • - "I hate to say this but..." - I don't believe you.

  • "I really hope you die."

  • "Like i honestly hope you fucking die."

  • *COUGHING*

  • Damn dude!

  • #8

  • Daily Vlogs.

  • Everybody loves to watch somebody else's life,

  • cause their own life is super boring.

  • Let them watch your life!

  • Secret #9

  • 'Hauls'

  • Just go out and buy a bunch of crap,

  • bring it home

  • and then show everybody what you bought.

  • Don't have a lot of money?

  • Well, head on down to the Dollar Store.

  • Come on back and do a video haul!

  • Secret #10

  • 'Tag Videos'

  • I'm talking about the boyfriend tag and the girlfriend tag, in particular.

  • Secret #11

  • The one I follow the most closely!

  • Parodies!

  • Everybody loves parodies, and if you can make parodies, you're guaranteed success!

  • Secret #12 Eat disgusting food, 'cause nobody wants to eat disgusting food!

  • But everybody wants to watch you eat disgusting foods.

  • Now all of those ideas seem like it takes a little too much talent or a little too much work.

  • What you can do is 'React Videos'.

  • What you do is you take somebody else's video and you just film yourself:

  • Watching it.

  • Now even that's a little too much work because you know you gotta put your face

  • in there and everything, what you can do is you can make 'Vine Compilation', so you

  • can just steal everybody else's Vine Videos, compile them together and just

  • upload that to YouTube. Now stealing people's videos and even worse all the

  • work that it takes to combine all those videos together is just too much for you?

  • Then why not just steal one and then just slap on your own little intro and...

  • there you go!

  • Ok, so now you decided what kind of video you're gonna make but now you're wondering:

  • "How should I act in the video, how should I look?"

  • BE ATTRACTIVE! Everybody knows this, come on! This isn't news. Let's move on to #17.

  • Scream at the computer!

  • Secret #18. Swear or act like an idiot and just hate on everything.

  • If you want to get into the beauty side of this YouTube industry, than what you

  • need to do is you need to act stuck up and then put on so much makeup, that

  • people can hardly recognize you.

  • Secret #20 is to act like you're rich even if you're not,

  • which if you follow these tips you're gonna be richer very soon... eh eh eh!

  • Secret #21 1)Have a high pitched voice... 2)Have an accent. Accents are sexy,

  • unique and memorable. Have an accent!

  • Alright so you know what kind of video you're going to make, how you're going to act,

  • how you're going to look. Now we need to sprinkle in some of those extra YouTube

  • seasonings, to really spice it up our recipe here.

  • Secret #23 Pets!

  • If you can have cute adorable pets in your videos... tada!!!

  • Secret#24 You got to have some pillows sprinkled behind you. You know some of those

  • "Subscribe", "Like" pillows...

  • Secret #25 Use 'Memes' !

  • I'm talking about... (1st meme) I'm talking about... (2nd meme)

  • Whatever is currently trending just throw those memes right in your videos.

  • Secret #26 Jump cuts! The more jump cuts you add... the better. Because everybody

  • has a short attention span, and you need to keep them interested.

  • Act cheesy, have some really bad puns and if you can shed a tear or two, everybody loves a good cry section.

  • Alright so you've got your video made, now you need to make sure that people click into it.

  • I now present to you the most effective, time tested proven method, since the dawn YouTube's:

  • "Boobs in the thumbnail!"

  • "Boobs in the thumbnail!" "Boobs in the thumbnail!"

  • "Boobs in the thumbnail!" "Boobs in the thumbnail!" "Boobs in the thumbnail!"

  • "Boobs in the thumbnail!" "Boobs in the thumbnail!" "Boobs in the thumbnail!" "Boobs in the thumbnail!"

  • But let's not stop there, let's go to... Secret #29: 'Red Circle' into the thumbnail.

  • Let's just add a red circle somewhere, and people go: "Wow! What the heck! I'm curious now!"

  • Secret #30 Add a censor bar in your thumbnail. Similar to the red circle and

  • makes people go:

  • "Uh?! What's underneath that sensor bar?"

  • Alright so you've got the perfect thumbnail that people can almost just not resist clicking into,

  • but you need to pair it with a really good title:

  • CLICK BAIT!!!

  • Something like: "My pet Gerbil has cancer."

  • But then when they click into it's just you playing Minecraft!

  • Let's go to secret #32: Put 'For Free' in the title.

  • Β§

  • Secret #34: Gone Sexual!

  • Works every time!

  • And to finish up our secrets for the title, let's go to Secret #34:

  • THE CHECK!

  • You got to add that little check mark at the end, it's very eye-catching and

  • people click it... I don't know.

  • Alright she's got an irresistible thumbnail and title, but you're not

  • getting any views.

  • What's going on? Well YouTube is not showing your video to anybody.

  • First of all you have no hope of getting on YouTube homepage, that is reserved

  • exclusively for people who are not... youtubers,

  • oddly enough. First thing we'll see is the main video being promoted here is

  • the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon and then the next section is Catch Up on Late Night.

  • Oh, more Late Night videos! As soon as we scroll down a little bit
