Your biggest you tube hit.

[Mark W]

My film making ambitions over the next year or so are to
1. Make more cash.
2. Make some short broadcastable docs.
3. get a viral you tube hit.

So, just for laughs, what is your biggest you tube hit?

Mine is Bum Therapy, complete with tube screwed sound. ( they pulled the fixed version)

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Nearly 100,000 in 3 months, currently 1500 views a day. Sequal soon ( be afraid)

Non tube version with better sound for the brave or reckless.

My Lion King music vid (which I posted elsewhere on this forum). Although it's a very simple music video it has generated over 2.3 million views and more then 3000 comments in just a little over 2 years.

To be quite honest I dunno what exactly made it so popular, I'm thinking it has more to do with the term 'Lion King' in the title more then anything else .

My biggest youtube hit? A grand total of 47 views. I'd love to share the secrets of my success. I really would. But this kind of success is just too hot to just give away. Here's the video if you'd like to be the 48th viewer.

YouTube - Our London Marathon

'I'm trained enough to see the tension'!

No sh*t! .

I'd be like a Camel's arse in a sand storm with that thing impending! LOL


My top hit interests me, I often wonder what drives people to view this, though the demographic is not what I thought it would be entirely, being middle aged Americans, not 'yutes'!

22,548

YouTube - Umarex CO2 pistol speed challenge

My biggest youtube hits are my Hollyoaks videos, my first Amy/Ste video has given me 4,128 hits and is the one below

YouTube - Amy/Ste: Face Down

I am much better at video making now, I was using WMM back then! However, I need to get all my clips back before I can remake.

Tiger - 2.3 million is indeed extreme! wow.
Did it get you lots of subscribers too ?

My biggest youtube hit is a little mad bomber treat.

YouTube - Thomas and Friends "Mad Bomber" Episode...

This video pulls more viewers every month, its a example of viral screenplay.

It has over 1.000.000 views, now pulls 10.000 views a day, every day
and has me taking youtube as a serious way to earn money.

I have a growing pool of subscribers and gain on average 4 a day, but in saying that
getting your video favourite by others is vital.
Mark knows the background to this video, I used these forums 18
months ago to kick it off and posted it within youtube to 20 various
youtubers making sure they were from different countries.

A friend at work set me a challenge to find out what makes youtube work, I have some interesting findings via youtube insight which reveals exactly
who watches the video, its not all kids, my biggest audience are people 35 to 65, and a equal split male to female.

All up I have 4 videos which have cracked the 100.000 views, but this video was the key to the ever expanding youtube universe, I believe these forums were fundamental in its kick start and viral groth.
At the moment I am producing a epiode 2 some 7 years after producing episode 1, its a lot of work but at least now I have a audience.

I have the upmost respect for these video forums.

I don't seem to have the large numbers of YouTube hit counts as you guys. My biggest hit, so far (18,000+ hits in one year) was a quick little graphic mashup I did, just for fun. It was a tribute to a celebrated American highway, set to Nat King Cole's song of the same name, "Route 66":

Which is approx. 383 times the number of hits my 'greatest hit' has achieved (just to set the record straight on who's the worst YouTube viditer).
