Meet @BrandonShep, a breakout creator who’s recent videos have been racking up millions of views each. But less than a year ago, he couldn’t even crack a tiny fraction of that. He struggled to stand out in a niche full of competition. Then he made one small shift and blew up fast. In this video, he reveals exactly how it happened.

Thanks for having me man, great to talk with you!
love your videos Brandon
Thanks for sharing your story - this was really helpful!!
Brandon! Thanks so much for sharing your story - it really hit home with me. My content so far is fully tutorial in nature (i.e. dry and boring), and I'm also experiencing the low views you did - it really only appeals to the people that are actually wanting to learn what I am teaching. But I am totally inspired by your search (and eventual success!) to reach a broader audience by upping the entertainment value of this type of content, and showing the non-specific audience that your subject can be interesting to them as well. You really put a light bulb over my head, my friend. I'm now researching ways to help a mundane subject be a bit more exciting to learn. And subscribed to your channel to keep up with your great ideas. Cheers!
Thank you for sharing, Brandon!

If you are discouraged because your niche is “saturated” don’t! You have your unique way of doing things so keep going!
Such a wholesome guy. I’ve seen his content from CZcams recommendations before and he is crazy talented. Congrats on your success!
Sure the photoshop niche may be incredibly saturated but as Brandon said, it's oversaturated with boring content like tutorials. When you offer engaging content that large audiences can find valuable, you can create your own niche within a niche. When it comes to youtubers that make graphic design videos in a challenge / entertainment format, there is close to no saturation - only Benny Productions (and a few other small ones). I absolutely loved this video because I've been following Brandon since the beginning and as a graphic design nerd, enjoyed all of his content. Thank you for shedding light on what the non-designers enjoy watching as well as motivating us by showing us that the algorithm doesn't hate us; we just haven't provided the audience with exactly what they want, and that requires some experimentation.
I love that he set out to do something other CZcamsrs hadn’t. The prevailing wisdom among creators is to do something that already has proof of concept, but Brandon found wild success blazing his own trail. Great video! 👏👏👏
I think it's always a mix of doing what works and finding something new. Going entirely one way or the other is a hard road to travel.

Most helpfull video ever, I'm literraly in the exact same niche ahahah ! Brandon is a Star ! Sad I did not get to see the thumbnail/Title data even though you guys spoked about it !
Amazing that you got Brandon on! Love his stuff and its great to hear his story
🙏
Great. I noticed the reverse effect on 2 channels when I hired a designer. The thumbnails looked great. But the views just plummeted from there.
The small 1k channel lost all its traction. And my 22k channel went down from 8k in 24h to 1-3k in 24 hours.
Once I realised that I went on a long journey about thumbnail design principles and found some good resources including Jay Altos course. So I bought that made a couple of thumbnails myself and they really changed the game. I also gave my designer that course, cause he is really eager to get good at yt as well. So hopefully we can turn it around.
Good luck! The biggest thing I learned about thumbnails is that the concept is far more important than the actual graphic execution.
Yeah I saw his videos popping up actually on my feed, never clicked. I’m gonna check him out
needed this video, thank you
You sir have earned a sub and I’ll be binge watching your page while I edit my video for tomorrow release thanks 🙏🏾
Love this video! Thank you
I’ve seen your content! And yeah, it’s great.
It’s crazy, as someone with less than 400 subs, to think that someone with thousands and growing daily would be like “this isn’t working”.
Right!
Very in depth video, awesome
Hey what do you think about about using Facebook ads and Instagram ads and google ads at the sametime
Super relatable 🙌
Interesting video! Great job 👏
ngl bro saying 150k views was poorly.....bruh what 😂😂
Do you looking for video editor?
Getting views in the beginning of 2023 was way easier tga😢 getting views in the end of 2023, there is competition
Funny enough I have the subscribers cos I deleted all my content bcos yt rejected my monetization but I want to start over but I’m confused I don’t know which content I should do to start allover again…any help or suggestions
Amazing
Great Video! 😁
The beastification enters the design space
People are becoming more spectators in this world than doing the action.
What the hell I clicked the video expecting a 200 1 mil sub channel watched the entire video and then saw the views and then the subs. Just wow
9:42 as efficient as possible (goal:less design , more views)
help me blow up please

This guy is crying about 15k subscribers while people like me after a year have a little over 500.
Talking about growing slowly on youtube... I have always made videos that I consider to be "half-decent" but a year in I only had 47 subs and the fact that this guy feels demotivated after gaining 15k in a year is ridiculous to me. At least he can monetize while I am here trying to make a source of income sometime in 2036
Yeah it is all in the algorithm. If it don't want to see you it won't
Compared to the value he was delivering.
