YouTubers
Why this
niche?
In this niche, I found a channel that has only been up for 2 months and has already achieved over 9M+ views in total. Although the competition is medium, there are also channels that have recently started and are going viral immediately with their first video. That gives us the confirmation that once you know how to act in this niche, the chances of success are really high.

Great start!
''From almost slowly suffocating whilst underwater, [shows clip] to being merely hours away from starvation... [shows clip]''
This is a very good intro because they immediately start showing two clips of MrBeast, with original audio. If you listen to the script, you will notice that they mention two examples: From X....To Y....and then show some blurred videos of MrBeast. So as a viewer you get instant value for what you clicked for, and it becomes clear that there are multiple videos where the challenge failed, and that will trigger the viewer to continue watching your video. Great start!

Real footage
Using real footage in your video also allows you to pause the voice-over for a moment, and therefore it doesn't become a boring story. It's important to trigger the audience and when you show real clips, you can tell the story better even better. Now, you might be thinking right now: can you actually use the videos from MrBeast? I'll go into more details about that at 'Lets' create your video.'

The right background music
From the moment I started watching this video, I was hooked. They have a good script, great editor, and they use a lot of real footage, but there's one thing that's also very important and that's the choice of the right background music. The music you add to your video is a very important decision because that decides what kind of feeling the viewer will have when watching your video. The thrilling sounds this competition channel used here, fits perfectly within this niche if you ask me. If you take a look at timestamp 1:13 you notice that when the story gets a little dark, you hear that in the music as well. So if you want to start in this niche, then you can definitely take an example here.
00:34
Announcing the next clip
What they actually keep doing here (and the whole video) is having the voice-over announcing the next clip. When the sound and the visuals in a video are synchronized, it enhances the overall viewing experience and people can be more satisfied when watching your video. A few examples:
• 00:34 however not even a few hours in, his oxygen pump overheated... *show the clip with original sound*
• 00:45 And it got only worse from there... 4 Hours into the challenge, his skin started showing signs of defeat... *show the clip with original sound*
• 00:52 And he had to check if his legs were still working... *show the clip with original sound*
1:26
Great hook!
''Now while failing this challenge luckily only cost him time, the next video's failure would cost him over $100,000...''
Speaking of good hooks... this is definitely one of them. The way they use this hook to transition to the next case is exactly how I'd fill in my own hooks. You can trigger the viewer a lot with this sentence and give them actually a reason to watch your video longer, and that's exactly what we want, right? This hook reminds me a lot of the channel KickFlix. They use the same kind of hooks and as you can see, it works very well.
Other great hooks they used in this video:
• While this one was uploaded as a normal video, the next failure was never supposed to be even seen by the public...
• People thought he lost those challenges on purpose, something which definitely cannot be said about the next challenge which MrBeast could simply never finish...
• While Mr Beast has had many close calls on other videos, the one he himself deems the hardest is this next challenge...
• He would manage to hold on for two more days, but then...

No long-winded outro
The best way to end your video is to keep it as short as possible. No long-winded outro, just end your video as abruptly as possible so that your AVD doesn't drop. This is something MrBeast himself always does too. What you could add is something like this: Do you want to see more of this? Then click on the video you're seeing on your screen now. That's the only sentence I'd use for my outro. Nothing more.
Don'ts
I couldn't find any don'ts in this video. This a very good video. A good script with lots of hooks, a good voice-over that tells the story well, and a nice video editor.

THUMBNAIL RATING
Thumbnail analysis
Pexto
Used thumbnail 1
✅ 3 Focus points
This channel definitely understands the rule of using a maximum of 3 focus points. The fact that the person in the middle is wearing a red sweater in combination with the black background will make him the main focus point in this thumbnail. A very good strategic thumbnail that is clear to read.
Pexto
Used thumbnail 2
✅ Triggering text
A thumbnail with a very good text, because if you know MrBeast's channel a little bit, you probably know that he is capable of almost anything and that the most bizarre ideas are implemented. And that is exactly why this text is so triggering, because this is something that MrBeast would not say so easily. However, I must say that I had read some comments that this thumbnail text was done by several channels and that many of them were clickbait, so it might be that this specific text has lost its value. Besides, the colors in this thumbnail are once again well-matched, a black background combined with a bright red color always works well. Good thumbnail!
Pexto
Used thumbnail 3
❌ Used everything I would not recommend
this thumbnail has almost all the points that I myself would never use for a thumbnail. a long text that is not easy to read because of the small font, a facial expression that does not show much emotion, and they have reduced the size of the photo making the thumbnail even less noticeable. In short, this is a good example of how the thumbnail will look like if you'd use all the things I mentioned earlier. What is very interesting to see is that when I was analyzing this thumbnail, once I refreshed the page they changed the thumbnail. So let's see what they made of it 👇🏽
Pexto
Used thumbnail 4
Room for improvement
So this is their thumbnail right now. As you can see, they have changed the text and the picture, but I definitely see room for improvement. Especially when you look at the size of the photo, I think it would have been much better if he had spread this photo completely across the canvas so it stands out much more than what it does now. Besides, I don't think his facial expression triggers enough. If you show a face on your thumbnail, make sure the right emotion is visible because that is exactly what is not happening here. Besides that, this thumbnail is quite dark and therefore does not stand out enough. Make sure you use some color in your thumbnail, especially in this niche.
And guess what? They changed the thumbnail again. If you want to see what it looks like now, then search on this title: When Good YouTubers End Careers.

Topic example
How do I find topics?
To find topics within this niche, it's best to do some research on YouTube. Which topics are going well, and which are not? To make it as easy as possible for you, I found some channels where you can get a lot of inspiration from:
• https://www.youtube.com/@blkkangel/videos
• https://www.youtube.com/@Justicul/videos
• https://www.youtube.com/@TheInkus/videos
• https://www.youtube.com/@SunnyV2/videos
If you take a look at the competition channel Pexto, we can see a certain pattern. A pattern where every topic that is chosen shows some specific information from a YouTuber. As an example: When MrBeast Quits A Challenge. If you are a fan of MrBeast, then you will know that he never actually quits a challenge, and that is exactly what will trigger the viewer so much. Same thing with the second topic: The Accidental Victims of MrBeast. If you follow MrBeast, then you probably know that MrBeast is known for being a generous person, and has spent some big sums of money on various people. To then make a topic about the 'Accidental Victims of MrBeast' may again cause people to experience FOMO.
So when you're searching for a topic, it's crucial to present it as 'this is the real scoop.' Give your viewers the feeling that on your channel, they'll discover a unique perspective on YouTubers, something everyone's curious about.
Besides that, I've seen an interview of MrBeast some time ago where he stated that he doesn't mind if people use clips from his videos for their own, because he said that's just free exposure for him. I will show down below some topics of our competition channel so you can start to recognize the pattern.
1. When MrBeast Quits a Challenge
2. The Accidental ''Victims'' of MrBeast
3. The 7 Heavenly Virtues as Streamers
4. When YouTubers Mess with Real Gangsters
5. How a Final Video Determines a Legacy
6. Every Current Twitch Wold Record Holder
7. How a Single Video Can Bankrupt a Company
Topic:
Seeing that some topics in this niche that include the name of MrBeast are catching on well, I'm going to search for a topic about him. After doing some research on Faceless Niches Outliers, I came across this channel BLKK which started recently and has already achieved over 2.2M views with only two videos. That's where I found this topic: '7 Times Mr Beast Almost Got KILLED'. Because MrBeast has also been in the news a lot with rumors of his death, then this could be another reason why this topic might trigger a lot of people and the fact that this topic can create a lot of FOMO to the viewer as well. I'll link the article down below.

How to create your thumbnail?
Since I chose to go for a topic where MrBeast almost died, I searched on Google for a background photo of him in a hospital and came across this one:
Adding a picture of his face
To make it even more clear that this thumbnail is about MrBeast, I went looking for a picture of his face where he's not feeling good. I also found this picture via Google:
Drop some black shadow
As you can see, I didn't make the photo as big as the canvas, because then the text wouldn't fit properly. To soften the hard edge of his hair, I used the brush in Photoshop to give it a black shadow. Then I created another layer and placed it under the layer of his face, so that I could also add some black shadow on the background without darkening his face.
As you can see, the background now stands out much more because of the dark shadows added. Finally, I added the text and chose to make the trigger word DIED red so it stands out even more, and then this will be your end result:
AUDIENCE ANALYSIS
What does the audience like?
MrBeast
Many viewers of this audience are big fans of MrBeast. This is something that I noticed when I was analyzing some topics in this niche and saw that these videos are doing really well. This target audience sees MrBeast as someone who has really made it, and is literally capable of always getting anything done. So you can definitely speak of a huge fan base of MrBeast within this audience.
Sunny V2 content
This target audience also enjoys a video style similar to SunnyV2's channel. In this niche, video quality is important to them, they appreciate videos with good storytelling, effects, animations, and some nice sound effects. They understand how algorithms and social media work, monitor view counts, and recognize the editing style which is similar to SunnyV2's.
Seeing a different perspective of YouTubers
This audience likes to click on videos where you get to see a different perspective of a YouTuber. This comment was posted under a video titled: When Youtubers Mess With the Wrong people. I think this shows us that this target audience loves to watch YouTubers in uncomfortable positions. They are searching for 'the truth' and will get triggered by topics that look like scoops.
AUDIENCE ANALYSIS
What does the audience not like?
Videos being too serious
This target audience likes a good storytelling video that is well put together, but this comment shows that you shouldn't lose the ability to sometimes break through the seriousness with a joke or a funny note.
Too much clickbait
Even though this is a positive comment, it is clear that this comment with 1K likes shows us that there is a lot of click baiting going on. So try not to clickbait too much, because this target group will notice that very quickly.
