I'm getting a big success on Youtube, need input from marketers to consider decisions

    Like the title says I am getting a pretty big success on Youtube. I have been researching a lot lately about how to succeed in Youtube marketing and finally the hard work paid off. I have between the 2 and 4 videos ;) that is ranking #1 in the Youtube search results and generating almost one million views a day together. Perhaps some people think that's not a big success but hey the definition of "success" is relative. For me it's a huge success since this is the first time I've worked out my strategy with success and after achieving 1 video I succeed with the 2nd and also the 3rd and 4th. Perhaps it's lucky, but I don't think so.

    Anyway, long story short; I think it's wise to maintain these #1 positions since it can bring me probably lots of traffic the coming days? weeks? months? I know nothing last forever, but hopefully they will stay at the same position for the upcoming days and hopefully weeks, but I don't know yet about that since I have not that much experience with Youtube (yet). I am learning and researching every day but perhaps there are some other professionals here who can advice me a bit what's the best thing I should do now. I will not use steal your advices nor use it immidiately but I will consider it and use my own vision to keep me standing and hopefully I will get some good input from you. So my main question is what should I do and what can I do to stimulate the continuous traffic/popularity?

    And oh btw.. regarding monetizing it; don't worry about that, I can manage that. My concern is more the traffic and position. Currently there are incoming comments every 3 - 20 minutes, depends on the time. Most Youtubers are of course from the biggest economy of the world, which is the USA.

    Thanks for your time and hopefully your support.

    I'd continue to add more videos if i was you. Hedging your bets on your well ranked videos can be quite dangerous. The age old mantra of "don't put all your eggs in one basket" is appropriate i think :)

    Thanks for all replies. Yes, it's really a lot of hard work. Not in sense of "doing things" but in sense of "thinking about things", doing the right things instead of doing some things.

    Anyway, perhaps there are marketers who can give me some input on a strategy what I can do to maintain the position a bit? And yeah, I will keep adding more videos since my channel gets thousands of views, but for now my concern is how to maintain the current positions of the ranked videos in the youtube search.

    Because what you're saying is false, right? You don't have a YouTube account that's getting 1 million views a day on it's videos.

    So you won't let 2 people check out your channel, while millions of other people are doing it, right?

    lol don't show these idiots your hardwork so they can copy it. He doesnt have to prove anything at all. If you can't get a million views on youtube, your not trying. Go out and make something thats remotely funny or amusing and with good tagging you should be at a million views within a few months.

    Green rep for your bro! Some people don't understand it requires a lot hard work to achieve something. Anyway, I am tired to tell people that I don't have to prove anything. This topic is all about getting consult, that's it. So please stop pm'ing me all and asking these ridiculous questions to prove things.

    No, sorry. There is no need to see my youtube account. My account is just like any other youtube account, so you can use that for an example as well.

    This thread has many views, but unfortunately I haven't heard the "real" marketers yet. This explains a lot since there is a HUGE opportunity in Youtube, but can't find that many sophisticated details about getting a Youtube success with propriate strategies. I think the real marketers are known of this opportunity and that's why they all keep their mouth shut, and I do not disagree with them ;)

    But still, if there is a marketer that is willing to help me. Just let me know.

    Thanks

    How can we help you when we dont know what kind of video it is and how to convert the message you are exposing? Anyway there are videos that have millions of views but are not getting the results they wanted. Some other videos are getting HUGE results. Either this is for making money, either for becoming famous, either entertaining people, political messages e.t.c

    What is the purpose of your video(s)?
    I suppose it is for making money. How much money do you currently make?

    1 million views can make you $0 or $1M
    100 views can make you $0 or $1M

    Here are some you YouTube Celebrities
    Esmee Denters
    The Numa Numa kid
    Evolution of dance

    Find out more here


    Anyway congratulations! Even if you are not "converting people" from these HUGE daily views you are already successful on getting all these people viewing your videos.

    In some things I do agree with you, but if you have read my thread carefully you could have read that I am looking for advice to maintain my position, so in fact I am looking for strategies, all kind and sort of promotions to boost the youtube video/channel more OUTSIDE Youtube. I am not gaining advice in details, just generally. Which strategies are a must. Anyway, now I am a few days further I am still learning a lot every day, so perhaps I will findout myself how and which strategies will be crucial.

    Thanks anyway!

    Allot of people where right here, persona that start topic most probably dont have Chanel on youtube, since hes so afraid to show, so we dont "steal" hes hard work, if we want to steal anything we can easy go to youtube type word we desire, check first Chanel and then copy things that guy did...

    Even start of this topic is kinda hillarious, if the guy had 1 milion views of videos or chanells, then you be pretty rich since many websites will pay you to advertise them...
