@@nationalotamatone9800 surprising ik. Maybe it's the audience his catering to, but good on him tho.
I think the problem when starting out is the discoverability
When he donated to make Mizkif watch the video, it serves as a way to force thousands of people to watch the vid whereas if he didn't, the video still needs to end up to the recommended section and people still need to decide if they want to click and watch the video or not.
Yeah definitly, but anyone could have donated to a streamer to watch it. He didnt use his own twitch account. Marketing the video definitly matters and its part of the gring I feel like.
ok but that's part of the skill too, he knew exactly what he was doing, and anyone doing the same thing would have gotten the same results
if the content is good (most isn't) and made for a very specific audience, all you have to do is get it to them, the donation is just the one that worked

no youre completely missed out the points here.. you need to knoiw what youre doing in the video, its not luck or anything... its research.
This video really shows how vital marketing is. KRplusrs go on length about the strength of thumbnails and titles but marketing your videos doesn't seem to be discuss as much. I genuinely feel like you could learn how to make better videos, better thumbnails and better titles just by studying youtube and making content. However, when it comes to getting your videos in front of people I don't think that's a skill you can learn by just making videos.

How to make it big on KRplus:
Step 1. Be a god at editing
Step 2. Exploit streamers’ huge egos
See: Online Lore, Ostonox
Who tf is ostonox
@@jeremiasmeier2061 Ostonox is hasanabi
@@absolutefocus2749 no I meant I never heard of that channel lmao, thanks anyways?
@@jeremiasmeier2061 ostonox makes well made memes/content about hasan and is basically a household name in his community by now
@@jeremiasmeier2061 check him out, genuinely god tier editing.
quick guide:
1. Write a script about your 'buddy top 30 streamer'
2. Pay someone to do a video for you
3. Pay the 'Buddy top 30 streamer' to review the video on stream
total cost ~$600 +your time and your 'besties top 30' streamers time
BTW for anyone actually reading this - it was a joke The content was great there were some concessions made, but Ludwig explains most of them anyways in this vid.
The hardest part about creating a new KRplus channel is finding time for the grind. If your not a full time content creator and don’t have 100% of your time to put into a KRplus channel it makes it twice as hard. Posting a regular unambitious video once a month wont make your channel grow at all without insane luck.
What a lot of content creators seem to forget with these challenges is that normal people don’t have all day to make KRplus videos.
Im not saying it’s impossible for new creators to build a following, I’m saying that new creators must put all the time they have into a channel if they want to ever go full time.
How can a student or someone who works long shifts as a doctor ever find time to upload 4-5 videos a day.
The year is 2025. OnlineLore has overtaken the official Ludwig channel in subscribers, watch time, revenue, and merch sales. OnlineLore has tens of millions of dedicated fans, waiting with bated breath for each and every upload. It is a good channel.
Plot twist it still only has the one video on their channel
....and as Ludwig said on his dying day, "it was for the meme."
would love to see it
anyone else read that in a British accent?
The year is 2064.
OnlineLore evolved into an artificial intelligence within itself, and enslaved all of human kind,
Unsatisfied in it's accomplishments it mutated and split into atoms spreading to multiple universes reforming as Trillions of Separate Online Laws which fed on all life and existances itself until time itself simply did not exist as it never did to begin with as it's a man made measurement.
I'd be very interested to see this done on a grander scale (obviously get why you didn't do that for this). Like, start 5 channels and see how many videos on average it takes to hit a certain amount of subs. Can following certain rules make it consistent? Can I learn those rules...
Sir I love you and you are amazing.
Hmm yeah that would be a crazy idea. I'm running an experiment right now where I have 5 different channels making 5 types of content and I just want to see how long it takes for the channels' audiences to overlap, but measuring them would be cool. (Obviously this channel isn't one of those 5 since I'm keeping it anonymous)
LOVE YOU RAZ! I hope to make video like you soon! I just need to figure out how to write a video essay well. It’s hard to put speaking into written form when first starting ngl…
Dream knows the secrets behind this, he said he studied the algorithms and stuff before starting his channel so he knew how to grow his channel right from the beginning, crazy to think something like that exists
Always so surprised to see you down here
great content, only critique is that you glossed over the effort and thought it takes to create a good script, a good hook, etc. That's a job within itself!
How is this great when he skips over the most important parts? Not only that, his video only got views because he promoted it on his podcast.
great vid! i agree with the message just not the way you proved it. maybe I'll try it myself
Wait how you only have 1 like and no reply?

The actual genius of this concept is that not only did he prove a point about channel marketing and how to blow something up, he also made himself content for his main channel AND he made free content for mizkif. This whole idea got him 3.3m views on his main, 1m on the new channel, and 600k views for mizkif. Ludwig is a content wizard with his ideas.

This was good, but a bit unrealistic just because the editing in that video was absolutely top notch and the concept was brilliant. It was an elite video right off the bat with a smart boosting strategy leveraging someone else’s fame which a lot of niches or original content wouldnt be able to do

2. Not unrealistic editing, he paid but you could learn this in a month

To everyone saying it's only because Twitch:
This video isn't a "follow this step by step guide to make money". He is proving that if you have a good idea, make actual good content, and come up with a good plan for marketing (all of which are skills), that you can become successful on KRplus. If Ludwig decided to do a KRplus channel about submarines, he wouldn't do this exactly the same again through Twitch. But he would still come up with a good idea, make actual good content, and come up with a good marketing strategy. This video is not saying it's easy, it's saying it's skill.
yeah and it's just as easy and cheap to pay 50$ for ~4.5K organic views that boost the shit out of your video so the algorithm views can take off. Suure buddy
@@apexdude105 What are you talking about?
@@apexdude105 It could help but if you have shit ideas and videos your channel isn't going to grow.

@@user-zu1ix3yq2w How exactly? What does "rigged" mean in this context?
This is why a lot of kids who set up a youtube channel don't get a lot of a views right away. It's because it takes skills. And that's another reason why kids who do work hard and take the time to really grow their channel succeed because they gain these skills along the way. Awesome video
online lore died so “lud and schlatts music emporium” could live
tldr: play into trends, market to the right audience, and have a semi professional presentation
Will keep in mind
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.
@@cmd0113 You need luck to boost the process. Try making amazing content on your own, it could be like multimillion dollar production. If you dont have any luck on advertising. You aint going nowhere. But once you got that boost. Its all about skill to keep the momentum going

well he is right. luck isn't involved if you are a big personality and so can promote it in many podcasts and or have enough money to pay a big personality to watch you video.
you don‘t need luck or skill, you just need money LMAO
He didn't have to do the editing or narration, he could have done it himself but decided not to

@@bren3750 that’s rich coming from someone that’s broke
I'd love for Ludwig to do this again without donating it or boosting it at all. I'm really curious to see how far a well made video goes them. Because if you make a video that's not just about streamers its hard to get people to react to your vids.
What this actually showed was that you NEED to network. The way he did it was the most pay to win version but I think when you're starting out you need to share your videos as much as you possibly can.
@@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.
You just proved that it is not luck, but it is pay to win.
Neither that. You could find other ways to market it. You just need to find that out yourself.
@@davey379 advertising/Promo is pay to win if you are just paying 50 dollars for a famous streamer to water the video to then promote it even more.
It’s both luck AND pay to win. If you’re EXTREMELY pay to win then you can mitigate out most of the luck.
Not to mention his "experiment" is probably fake.
No, it's marketing. Getting sponsors, even getting mentioned from famous people. It's always been like this and will always be like this in ANY human interaction.
Holy shit people, if we would live in a world where hard work = success existed the world wouldn’t be as shifty of a place. You will ALWAYS need luck/timing.
Or content that is truly interesting.
Yeah timing matters even in my life despite working 70 hours a week in the past. No amount of work can make up for certain stuff.
@@kindGSLyeah…but really what he said
I'm not entirely okay with this.
This video is surely helpful, it shows some tricks about titles, thumbnails and tools to make your content more appealing to the viewers and the algorithm. It also tries to show that it's not about luck but "skill" (let's call it that).
However, it comes from a very privileged point of view. Not everyone can afford to spend 600 dollars on their first video and even tho nobody would need to spend 130 dollars for the voice over, they still would need a microphone and right equipment to do it. Also, someone who just started will need practice on how to talk, how to write a script and generally how to make a story that is coherent enough to have sense and which has a message or proves a point at the end. I understand trying to make the video simple, but I feel like Ludwig has overseen important aspects of creating a yt channel from scratch.

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.

12 videos in 15 years...
My new years resolution is to finish all of these Ludwig videos in one day lol
This reminds me of the growth if Lowest Percent, the channel. When i had them in my recommendations they were around 50k subs. Now i think they're standing at 2 million. Barely any videos, all very spread out with hiatuses, but if you know what you're doing you WILL grow.

Aahh, i was wondering about that! The experiment seems more legit now
What ludwig demo'd here is that great content and good "promotion" of that content needs to go hand in hand - the "comedy door" take and twitch dono viewing both aren't luck, those are know how - the fact he can write up a script like that, notice when miz have no content on stream, and how he knows streamers like content that stroke their ego etc., there's like 10 different insights he's using to make this look effortless , damn good content in itself
Bro I keep seeing your comments on all the videos I’ve been watching.
People that find KRplus success are just built different I can't even lie.
14:40 why did all the views come 3 days after and all of the searches come 3 days after? Well ludwig was on podcasts promoting that he made this video so people starting searching it, this is pretty misleading, only after people starting searching it did he get the “algorithm views”😂
you're forgetting that the algorithm knows that channel is you and will recommend the video to people who already watch you
Great lesson! I think it was Andrew Carnegie who said that if all of his businesses were shut down today, he'd be able to rebuild new ones tomorrow because of everything he's learned along the way
I remember reading a quote saying "starting something over is never starting from scratch but starting from experience" and that really stuck with me. Be it new jobs, a new class, or a new pursuit altogether. Experiences form your ability to adapt and think in an innovative way
I remember watching you play minecraft
I don't think he could because he's dead
Yeah its a trend with a lot of marketers lately, they've been starting from scratch with just their XP and nothing else. Experience and wisdom really is the secret which means there's no fucking excuses if you've got average intelligence or higher, just gotta put the hard yards in for a long period of time
@@DavidKFZ except it’s impossible for these marketers to start from scratch. They already are financially stable letting them focus all there time into it, connections from family and past business. Just being born into a wealthy family with access to higher education is a insane leg up compared most of the population. Such a dumb take.
I have a feeling that Ludwig thinks this is his greatest video ever

Bro!!! This video is absolutely AMAZING!!! I'm starting my KRplus channel back up soon and have watched countless videos on the subject but honestly this one just just so FREAKING encouraging! Thank you dude seriously!
Rip to online lore, repurposed 🙏
I think no one would ever doubt that your success is anything less than earned, the idea is we just don't always necessarily know how to replicate it. Anyway amazing video, if this is the type of stuff that replaces daily uploads I'm so excited for it
I think what especially makes it more difficult is the fact that it does just take a special person anyways. For this video alone, Ludwig had a good voice actor, an amazing editor, the ability to contribute financially, etc etc. Many many people simply don’t have all these skills off the rip
@@femmas856 Anyone can learn to edit, speak, and all of the rest is done for free and just requires time. The only difference is learning the tricks of the trade, like emulating your favorite creators, which Lud goes into in his other "3 tips for streaming" video.
Of course, people may not have this off rip, but he said it's 99% skill for a reason: skill is acquired.
@@femmas856 But he wasn't born with his an amazing voice, great editors and money. He trained and/or earned those.
@@femmas856 He also made content so tailor-made for Mizkif that he could donate $50 and get Mizkif to signal boost it.
That's not to discount what he did here, this is a great example of the techniques you *can* use, and the video was great, but depending on the type of content you make (and most people aren't making content centered around streamers) you can't just pop the link over to someone and expect it to do numbers off that.
Alot of people who do make quality content are much more at the mercy of The Algorithm by the nature of their content.
@@songofalchemy To speak you have to have a good microphone which many cant afford...
Dude... you know what would be a fun challenge.
Hiring someone on fiver to write the script too, and see how big a channel you could get basically not doing anything yourself.

Speedrunning strat: pay 3 different people to make the whole channel, and then make 8 videos about it, gaining 12 billion dollars in the process
The end is basically what pure reaction channels are
@@pablopereyra7126 pay them to make the videos about how you payed them to make the videos, then do a special on how meta that was
If anyone else is watching this or sees this 5:10 is confirmed to be outdated even if it was true when Ludwig made this
This video is eye-opening! It takes real dedication and hard work to make it on KRplus, and your experiment proves that it's not just luck. It's all about consistency, quality content, and understanding your audience. I admire your commitment, and it's inspiring to see the results you achieved through your secret channel. This is a valuable lesson for anyone looking to succeed on KRplus. Well done! 👏🎬📈
Your English degree finally came in handy with that script.
The only thing this proves to me is that Lud is an absolute god tier content creator
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.
agreed lmao

Well it's not like you've started in a beginners shoes even though it's a good idea, however you're already quite skillfull because of EXPERIENCE. Gaining these skills may take some luck (arguable).
"His experiment is like taking a world class tennis player and restarting their career from scratch

I think the hard part is finding the niche you want to make content about and the right place to advertise it. You obviously know your stuff about the Twitch realm, but how would you have done it with any other type of content?
thats where the skill comes in I would guess when youre starting make stuff on the most easily clickbaited content you possibly can then once you get a core audience who will watch no matter what you can tailor it to more of your own interest but the skill of it is how you do that smoothly
@@aaaa-xf3hx not if the core audience just wants to see videos on mizkif.

So hard work and dedication pays off… Something doesn’t add up
My philosophy is that while hard work and dedication are necessary, it does not guarantee success. You can not succeed unless you work, so expecting success with no effort is never going to work, but you can work harder than anyone else and still fail.
@@braydenmiranda6795 Yeah, in other words work is necessary for but does not guarantee success.
and $600 XD like im sure you could do this by teach yourself, but like that video was reallllly well edited.
@@tuskular its reasonable for someone who wants to make a living off youtube to either learn how to edit or hire an editor, if someone really wanted to make it big it wouldn't be that hard to spend a couple of weeks/months practicing editing
hi sam
The key takeaway for me from this is that this can’t be done with just any topic. This could work only because it was tailored made to talk about a popular streamer.
Perhaps the size of your KRplus audience will be fundamentally limited by the size of your topic’s audience. It suggests that you can’t just do what you like.
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 KRplus 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.
All I learned from this was that if you cover interesting topics that have nothing to do with yourself, essentially using other people as topics, you'll make it.
Next videos he creates he can now cover other topics and the algorithm will like him more based on that first vid.
@@astrahcat1212 Sadly not
what thumb nail editer are you using?
The problem with keeping the OnlineLore channel is that it definitely has the potential to exceed the Ludwig channel, assuming you keep making the same type and quality of content for it. The Ludwig channel is mostly driven by people interested in Ludwig. You're either interested in the goings-on of Ludwig (in which case you subscribe), or you're not (in which case you don't). But with OnlineLore, you have the potential to rope in anyone who is interested in any content creator you make a video about, or people who are just interested in content creators in general. Much larger potential audience, and larger potential watchtime.
I don’t see that as a problem in any way
Not really tho, video essays are fun once in a while but they can get stale. Plus people main tune in for the content creator they know and ignore the others which makes the videos more hit or miss than ludwig’s for example
and if it did he would make double the money of 1 youtube channel. What an awful problem to have
i was gonna say the editing in the online lore vid is better than ludwigs main channel there was lots of times ludwig could of used more b roll to increase retention instead of just A roll of him talking to the camera

No way mizkif wasn't in on it too perfect
the amount of knowledge and passion ludwig has for youtube is insane. the goal for my future career.
I kinda wanna do this now!
secret channel gets more subs than the original:
welp what do I do now
True true true, good content does well, that's all there is to it.
Sometimes you need to be patient and wait for some "luck" but there are ways to get some initial traffic in there and eventually it takes on it's own life.
Not just good content but also good thumbnails and titles.
Yep, good content plus good marketing and consistency.
cody!!!!
your content is good :)
and good marketing , he posted on reddit , hooked mizkif chat and had a good video start
Do a part 2 with this channel !!!!
As someone with 300 subs is like 70 percent luck and 20 percent consistency and 10 percent patience
Hey, I just want to point out while the content itself was definitely top notch and that there is definitely a lot of skill that goes into it, there is still the issue that it usually takes a catalyst before a video takes off from a small content creator. If it wasn't for that shoutout from Miz the video would have most likely not have been picked up by the algorithm. Luck does actually play a huge role in the algorithm and there are thousands of qualified content creators that make fantastic content that go unnoticed because they haven't been given a chance yet.
While this is true in this specific case, donating it for promotion is mostly necessary to reach the arbitrary goal of 1k views in 1 day. If you're actually making an entire channel of good content and don't have any money to invest in distribution efforts, you can promote it it for free in other ways that will lead to better recognition by the algorithm over time.
@@Sprintspeed10 but then again, the video was meant to prove that youtube is skill and not luck, while his video was unbelievably specific and piggy-backed off of and established successful creator
Id like to see someone make something similar, with an easier goal on a normal type of video-style, rather than video essays that don't get free views from streamers
@@Zyluki Yea but if it really was THAT easy. I wouldn't be here reading your comment.
@@Sprintspeed10 I thought he was implying here that part of the skill was knowing how to get it in front of someone who could get it promoted quickly. I feel like he actually says something very similar in the video.
@@labradfordjackson7623 Here's the thing, getting your content in front of someone prominent is HUGELY dependent on luck. Most larger content creators are constantly inundated with notifications and tags, and they definitely don't check all of them or read all of their comments or emails. I have actually had a bit of exposure from a larger content creator, and it was almost entirely luck. For context, I primarily make cello covers of soundtracks.
I had made a cello cover from the show Legend of Korra, which I tweeted out to the composer Jeremy Zuckerman. He happened to see the video and really liked it, and shared it with all of his Twitter followers, one of whom is the composer and KRplusr Samuel Kim (1.1m subs). After working with Samuel for a while, he gave me a shoutout and I got a lot more exposure suddenly, doubling my subscriber count in a week and increasing my views by literally 999%. None of this would have happened if my initial video was ignored by Jeremy Zuckerman! I owe a lot of my current status as a content creator to these two men, and I am so thankful that Jeremy Zuckerman is such a kind person and enthusiastic about fan-made content.
This situation was also an anomaly. 95% of the time when I make a cover and do everything I can to tag and tweet out my video to the composer/creator, it just gets ignored. That's just the way it is, and it can be absolutely brutal for up and coming content creators who are essentially shouting into an uncaring void.
Whenever Ludwig actually tries to make good content it's actually fire.

Getting attention from a streamer is basically a cheat code and one time luck. Someone should make a similar experiment, but without baiting streamers and with more videos, getting organic views over the course of several months.
Exactly
Do it bro your the man for the job
