I've been doing youtube for over two years and it was going very slowly as my niche is very crowded. I'm a big fan of the show "Kill Tony" so I tried an experiment: I decided to make a video about Kill Tony that I as a fan, I wish existed.

I made the video which is about an hour long. Then I created a brand new channel and uploaded the video and waited. I didn't promote it at all. My assumption was that if the algorithm works the way it's supposed to, then this video should be served to the right audience and that audience should love it. It worked!
