how to come up with a killer youtube idea (to blow up your channel)

[@thesamuelnam]

Grew from 3000 to 89k in a year after learning from you. Thanks for the work you put into every video.

[@AprilynneAlter]

Ahhh that's so amazing to hear, congratulations!!

[@makariespe]

@@AprilynneAlter Same, 500 to 60,000 in 5 months and your videos were my go to for all things "how to youtube". Thank you for everything Aprilynne!

[@AprilynneAlter]

Omg I love your stuff!! 💙

[@makariespe]

@@AprilynneAlter small world! Thanks :')

[@thesamuelnam]

@@makariespe yo, just watched one of your videos. We have similar vibes lol. Think this is contributing to our growth.

[@jorgelariosr1567]

Yeahhhhh, I was so desperate for this video that I started looking at the metadata of your previous videos to calculate the publish time, and while doing that it was published 6 min ago!!!! Cant wait to enjoy it all

[@AprilynneAlter]

Hahaha thank you for the support! I hope it was worth the wait 💙

[@ninopino12]

Lmaooo feel you

I don't know if this applies to anything specific, but a script writing video would be interesting 😅

[@DailySmileScroll-dn9vd]

​@@Jefnam I think the script is the soul of the video.

[@saurabhd7902]

Yes

[@Arrowstotle]

Killer video! Your content is always worth the wait. Congrats on your first sponsor!

[@AprilynneAlter]

Thank you so, so much!!

[@devidaughter7782]

love the warmth in your voice, and the gentle pacing (no rapid being yelled at unnatural pace); thanks for all the research and for sharing; just what I needed tonight as I go into the final stages of my next video...

[@AprilynneAlter]

Aw, thank you so, so much!! I'm so glad you liked the video 💙

[@devidaughter7782]

@@AprilynneAlter just finished binge-watching video 3 from you. in a sea of (mostly white) male voices, yours is a welcome comfort - and not just because of your external qualities, but because your context is EXCEPTIONAL, and your video quality is indeed aspirational! btw, I LOVE how you have disclosed that you write every word you say- I do the same, even if most other advisors don't recommend doing so!

[@AprilynneAlter]

@@devidaughter7782 aww, that makes me so happy to hear - I definitely do my best to provide a wide range of examples, especially from creators and niches that most people in the space overlook! And yep, especially because my main strength is in writing, I definitely feel much more comfortable when I've scripted everything out!

[@devidaughter7782]

@@AprilynneAlter oh yes, it is a rare man that will listen to a woman as an expert - on anything, which is why women keep getting marginalized, even when their work is superior!... in any sphere! so thanks for being here, with beauty and grace and AUTHENTICITY- something an ego-driven position will always lack!

[@BesidetheDyingFire]

I learn a lot from videos like this. Thanks for the hard work on these videos. Succeeding on KZbin is truly just as much of a science as it is an art.

[@Guelmiporai]

Hey April, you have the best youtube tutorial videos IMO, honestly, largely underrated! As always amazing job :)

[@prolificcare]

I'm truly blown away by how much effort has been put into this. Not only within the video, but also with the added material like the notion template and the pdf summary. You seem like a great person

[@Mughi]

You built a strong brand trough positive reinforcement with your previous videos. We already know that this will be a killer one without even watching it.

[@AprilynneAlter]

That's so great to hear 💙 that means something's working!

[@Mahesh_Shenoy]

Thanks a lot for highlighting the power of being different (vs being better)! As a high school physics teacher, I struggled with this for years on KZbin. What finally worked was being different. In the hindsight, it almost seems obvious. But it’s not. It took me quite a while to stumble upon this. And I am so glad that this video explains this idea so nicely. It’s incredibly powerful and if you are an aspiring youtuber, I hope you take notes and keep coming back to this video! (I took a lot of notes as well) Incredible stuff, Aprilynne! This is pure gold.

[@AprilynneAlter]

Thank you so, so much Mahesh! The concept of remarkability is so crucial to understand in today's KZbin climate - I'm glad you thought I was able to convey it properly :)

[@Mahesh_Shenoy]

@@AprilynneAlterO’course! If you ever need any examples to do case studies of channels suddenly blowing up, I would be more than happy to provide any and all details from my experience and channel. Keep up the good work& Cheers :)

[@AprilynneAlter]

@Mahesh_Shenoy oh wow, I really appreciate that!! Thank you!!

[@FalconSquadron]

I’ve watched so many videos to learn about KZbin and honestly this is the only one I feel like I’ve gotten a lot of value from. You are a great teacher! Looking forward to more of your content.

[@caitlinoliviaart]

I sh*t you not, I had just sat down with my notebook, wrote in the middle ‘youtube ideas’ and was ready to brainstorm. Logged onto KZbin and this was the first video I see. Either you’re a mind reader or the AI can log into our brains now?!

[@AprilynneAlter]

hahaha wait this is amazing!!! I hope this video helps!!

[@rominaespinosa]

love all the work you've put into this for the last few months for us to digest in

[@AprilynneAlter]

Awww thank you so much Romina 💙

[@movementcreatorTV24]

Hi Aprilynne, I just found you a couple of days ago, and I cannot tell you how valuable your videos have been for me already! Thank you so much for your videos. They are so detailed, informative and visual (this helped me because I am def a visual lerner). Thank you! 😊

[@8bitjoystick]

I am always excited to see a new video from you. I learned a lot from your previous videos and I'm trying to be more conceptual and spending a lot more time thinking about the videos that I'm gonna make before actually making them. So I've learned a lot from you.

[@AprilynneAlter]

I'm so happy you've enjoyed the videos so far!! 💙

[@JonDorman]

This is hands down your best video, your best teaching, and imo the most valuable advice for creators serious about KZbin. I'll watch this over and over again!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@AprilynneAlter]

Oh my gosh Jon thank you so much!!! 😭😭 I'm so glad you liked it!!

[@exdroidz]

I literally turned this video into a Notion template and connected it to my content planner. Going to put everything into action and I'll come back to this same comment to share my results... this is absolutely insane April!

[@oceansos]

Can you share your template ?

[@JordanQuinn94]

As someone who had his first outlier a couple of months ago as a result of consuming content like yours - THANK YOU. It has helped me tremendously and I know I'm not alone in that. I can't wait to implement these tips in my process moving forward as well. Cheers!

[@AprilynneAlter]

I'm so happy to hear that Jordan!! 💙

[@MosesTY]

1 of 10 as a first sponsor is the best ever. Glad to see you're living out your Personal Legend Aprilynne!

[@radikalhughes]

This is an amazing video. I love the EXCELLENCE you put in your videos ... keep rocking!

[@kohkoh17]

Thank you youtube algo for this killer video about killer idea genreation. Thanks April for packing so much value in it! Will check out the sponsor tool too!

[@GameTalesHQ]

Thanks for such a comprehensive video! I knew most of this but seeing it again in one neat video is a great reminder.

[@AprilynneAlter]

I'm glad you liked it :)

[@MyNameIsDeya]

I've been WAITING for you to publish this video, Aprilynne!!!!! This video is so good + so comprehensive. I'm amazed at how much work you put into each video.

[@BenjaminEwt]

The amount of effort put into this video is truly amazing! Worlds away from where I currently set my bar, time to improve. Thanks for opening my eyes, truly

[@ColleenCanney]

Thank You Aprilynne for creating such a detailed video! Loved your authenticity, pacing, and editing. Top-notch! I am working with a KZbin Growth Coach and he shared your info with me. Really excited to see your channel continue to grow.......and congrats on your first sponsorship!

[@AnthonieMeijer]

Brilliant video! Clear structure, easy to follow, and packed with refreshing insights (especially the Angles).

[@rafidhoda]

Your videos are absolutely mind-blowing... I don't think I've gathered this many insights from a single video in a very long time!

[@johndennYT]

I’m a blogger, not a video maker, but your content is SO transferable. Thanks for sharing! I learned a ton and have some new strategies to try out now.

[@johnnyguy9442]

Genuinely speechless about how helpful this video is. The best part for me is the downloadable pdf that summarizes your research- thank you so much for your dedication to this topic. Means more to me than you know

[@GavinKohAquascaping]

Wonderful video April. Very high quality editing. May I ask what you are using to get all your animated graphics? I love them!

[@ivanvolti]

Your videos are so practical, straight to the point, and packed with great stuff. Thank you so much for doing this! ❤

[@AprilynneAlter]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!!

[@User-q8d9j]

Thanks for actually going in depth some people act like they can't say everything for free or they'll loose out on clients

[@Echonex]

After watching your other killer thumbnail/intro videos, I applied it myself and my next video was a 1/10 by almost double!! It wouldn't have gotten a fraction of that without your videos, I really appreciate how you break everything down to be so understandable

[@AprilynneAlter]

Awww thank you so much for the Super Thanks! I'm so happy my videos have been so helpful to you 💙

[@ocuix]

Another BANGER! 🎉 Input bias maxxed out! As much as I’m learning from this incredible series of yours, I’d love to see some passion videos. I feel invested in who you are now and would love to see more of who you are, not just the gigantic juicy fruits of your labour! Your community clearly thinks you’re awesome. Aside from figuring out what makes for an awesome video (which you employ to success proving your research!), what ELSE makes Aprilynne tick?! ❤

[@AprilynneAlter]

That makes me so happy to hear :) I've definitely been hesitant about making "lower view potential" videos, but moving forward I want to try some out! Or at the very least, try some videos that take less than 5 months to make haha. There's also the concept of setting up a second channel for lower-key, more casual content. A lot to think about!

[@OllieTechdale]

Watched this 3 days ago and tried the Notion sheet today, and it rocks! I came up with so much better ideas than without it. Thank you!

[@Jefnam]

Really love how clear, concise, and flexible you make these videos! This one is just what I needed for my own research! Also, in my mind the three first points are synonymous with a KZbinrs channel, series, and style if that makes any sense 😂

[@abdulhameed_12]

Thanks as always Aprilyne, you rocks!

[@nowweknow.]

Congrats on your first sponsor! Your videos are by far the best when it comes to these topics

[@heavenlynarratives35712]

thank you for this! your voice is soothing and i love your attention to detail.

[@tomtriffitt9329]

as always, ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. I have been waiting for/needing this video for so long!

[@VoloBuilds]

Exactly what I needed to see, thank you so much Aprilynne! My content has been too scattered so I have been trying to hone in on my ideal audience and focus. I think I have it figured out now, but the next big challenge was figuring out the set of videos to actually make for that audience, so your advice was exceptionally timely :) thank you!

[@joshuasmith3682]

honestly I was kinda wondering what could possibly be taking you so long but this video was worth the wait what a banger! Congrats on your sponsorship!

[@joshuasmith3682]

one of the best videos I've watched it's insane

[@AprilynneAlter]

Oh my gosh thank you so much!! It's surprisingly hard to make complex things simple 😭, but I'm so glad you thought it was worth the wait!!

[@erinmgiles]

So grateful for you and that amazing creative brain of yours girl! I just got monetized and I'm loving watching your videos to grow + learn even more!

[@MadebyNiclas]

"ridiculously nerdy video that I make"- What you are doing here is helping a lot of people including me to level up their youtube game with valuable advices. I find your videos ridiculously valuable and packed with a lot of info which takes some time to comprehend and that's what I am here for! Thank you! Congratulations on your first sponsor!

[@UntoldTurtle]

This is actually so great, I’ve been attempting to create a super comprehensive note list of every part of KZbin/being a KZbinr and I wasn’t finding enough good stuff on ideas and here you come. You’ve covered essentially every major part of the video aside from titles and how to make people stay for the whole video and honestly I can’t wait for those videos!

[@AprilynneAlter]

Ahh I'm so glad you've been liking the series so far! There's still so much to cover!

[@layoelikwu5243]

[@lorenagonzalessaar6488]

It is absurd this content exists for FREE. For real, I would pay money for this video, it is amazing. HUGE thank you, girl! This video is a KILLER one!

[@SmoothieCat-l9x]

Killing it with every. single. video ❤ One of the things I can’t find good info anywhere is advice for B2B channels that do not want to do clickbaity, or entertaining content (and not even edutainment to a point). All the advice seems to be directed at youtubers who want to do entertainment content, but some of us don’t want to do that.

[@itsdipganguly]

AMAZING TUTORIAL. NEVER SEEN SMETHING LIKE THIS AND THE EDITING AND ANIMATION. EVERYTHING IS JUST TOP NOTCH

[@MuzTalkies]

This video has so much clarity that I have never seen before! Thank you so much!

[@heysnips8108]

WOW!! Girl this video was worth the time!! I’ve seen SO many yo iTunes growth videos but NEVER one with this much information in it!! Thank you so so much for taking your time and energy to make this video for us!!❤❤

You have put so much effort and explained everything in such a clear and interesting manner that you made it sound easy. Thank you very much Aprilynne and congratulations on the first of many sponsorships to come :)

[@Havspace444]

Just uploaded my first video (well, technically it’s not my first KZbin video ever) but it’s my first video applying your tips after watching your "how to" trio (killer intro, thumbnail, and idea). I can’t describe how just watching those feels like a whole KZbin course worth hundreds, if not thousands, given the amount of depth and information provided. I can only thank you and hope that I’ve applied your instructions correctly 🤞

[@bigbyz2]

Always fantastic. I have to say you are definitely one of my favorite creators on growing on KZbin. That is saying alot as I been through many courses.

[@mello.art0]

The way you broke it down allowed me to take really good notes I am going to use in the future

[@AprilynneAlter]

[@salehmir9205]

Your channel is highly undervalued. Please make more videos, a lot more.

[@kapoorsonboard]

Wow! This video is the goldmine of such valuable information, exactly what I needed at this point in time. Your insights and practical tips have given me so much clarity and confidence to move forward with my own channel. The way you broke down how one can generate a killer idea into easily digestible pointers is truly impressive. Thanks for sharing such high value content and for being a constant source of inspiration. Keep up the fantastic work! P.S. Congrats for the first sponsorship - that's a huge milestone! I am excited to see many more amazing videos from you.

This was UNBELIEVABLE! And the timing! For me, finishing a 3 month project and wanting to come up with a banger that excites me, this is perfect. The time you put into this shows, and the value is unmatched. Absolute game changer for all 14k people who’ve watched so far and will be unbelievably valuable for the rest of the gang who finds it. Thanks Aprilynne ❤️❤️
