I Got Surprising Results During my Experiment on YouTube

I have now completed my second week of YouTube, and I was not expecting the results I got for my round of videos for the week. I thought that I would go crazy with being consistent during the second week, but so far, it's been so fun and addicting to upload these videos!

I decided to focus on very different topics for the second week, and I was so surprised by the results!

Here are the results for all of my videos, and what each video was about:

Monday: 98 views that led to 2.1 watch hours. 

This video was about a random horror book that I was a huge fan of, and I shared the plot and my personal thoughts on how I felt about the story. 

Tuesday: 204 views that led to 3.2 watch hours. 

This video was based on a super old comic book of Scarecrow from the DC Batman comics. I talked about the story and how I felt about this plot. I was not expecting to get that many views for this video, because I honestly was struggling to come up with a good thumbnail for the video. 

Wednesday: 167 views that led to 2.1 watch hours. 

This was another DC comic book video that was based on an old story of Two Face. He gets a second chance at life, becoming Harvey Dent again, and I really wanted to go over one of my favorite comic books ever made with this character. I was surprised I even hit triple views, because I could not come up with a good thumbnail for the video again. 

Thursday: 133 views that led to 2.1 watch hours. 

This was once again another DC comic book of a modern version of Harley Quinn's origin story, with how she met Joker. This was one of my favorite videos to work on, because this became one of my favorite Harley Quinn comics ever made. 

Friday: 244 views that led to 3.8 watch hours.

I did another video about my personal thoughts on a twist that should have been done for the final season of The Boys. I wasn't really surprised with the views I got for the video, because I was expecting that many views, since The Boys is a bit of a hot gossip thing right now online. 

Saturday: 68 views that led to 0.9 watch hours. 

I think this was my worst video so far. I was sort of expecting this to happen, because this was going to be a hit or miss. I shared my personal thoughts on how I felt about Obsession and The Backrooms winning against Hollywood, who has recently been defeated by horror movies. Which is insane to think about…never thought I would ever see this happen. This felt like a huge achievement for us horror fans!

Sunday: 59 views that led to 1.6 watch hours. 

I wanted to share my personal thoughts on how I felt about a Silent Hill game that wasn't really well received by a lot of horror fans. I was surprised with the results for this video, because my Silent Hill videos have been doing alright for the most part.

So, in total, I got about 15.8 public watch hours, which is slightly better than last week!

I got about 8 subscribers, and I now have about 186 watch hours in total. 

It wasn't exactly a huge success, but I'm glad that I did better than last week!

And as a bonus, here are the thumbnails I had so much fun making for the videos:

Once again, I should mention that hashtags did indeed work for YouTube after all. I was wrong about hashtags not working before, but you know what, they can be useful for your videos to get views!

I'm going to continue posting every day, and I will write another update for how my channel is doing for the third week!
