🚀 MrBeast’s Best YouTube Advice: How Creators Actually Grow

When MrBeast says something about YouTube, creators listen.

After building one of the biggest YouTube channels in history, MrBeast has repeatedly shared one core belief:

> If you knew what I knew, you could get 10 million subscribers within six months.

The 100Viral team carefully analysed his advice and distilled it into practical lessons every creator should understand.

🎯 The Hard Truth: Your First Videos Will Fail

MrBeast is brutally honest with beginners:

  • Your first video will not get views
  • Your first 10 videos will not get views
  • Your first 100 videos will probably suck
  • And that’s normal.

    Most creators fail not because of the algorithm — but because they never upload enough to improve.

    Analysis paralysis kills more channels than bad content ever will.


    🧠 Quality Beats Quantity (Every Time)

    One of MrBeast’s most important lessons:

    > It’s easier to get 5 million views on one great video than 50,000 views on 100 average videos.

    Uploading daily doesn’t matter if none of the videos stand out.

    YouTube promotes:

  • Videos people click
  • Videos people watch
  • Videos people finish
  • If your content is average, the algorithm has no reason to push it.


    🔁 Make 100 Videos — Improve Something Every Time

    MrBeast’s simple growth formula:

    1. Make a video

    2. Improve one thing

    3. Repeat 100 times

    Examples of what to improve:

  • Better scripting
  • Stronger hooks
  • Cleaner editing
  • Clearer thumbnails
  • More emotional titles
  • Better pacing
  • Better storytelling
  • There is no perfect video — only better ones.


    🧲 Titles & Thumbnails: The Click Decides Everything

    A video doesn’t exist if nobody clicks it.

    MrBeast emphasizes:

  • Short titles (ideally under 50 characters)
  • Extreme but honest opinions
  • Curiosity-driven phrasing
  • Titles that match the video length & payoff
  • Example:

  • ❌ “Fiji Water Review”
  • ✅ “Fiji Water Is the Worst Water I’ve Ever Drunk”
  • The more extreme the title, the more you must deliver in the video.


    ⏱️ The First 5 Seconds Matter the Most

    With YouTube autoplay, thumbnails alone are not enough.

    You must:

  • Match expectations immediately
  • Confirm why viewers clicked
  • Remove all dull moments
  • Audience retention graphs always drop at the start.

    Your job is to reduce that drop as much as possible.

    Even a 10–15% retention improvement can mean millions of extra views.


    🧠 The Algorithm Is Just Human Psychology

    MrBeast simplifies YouTube’s algorithm perfectly:

    > Replace the word “algorithm” with “audience”.

  • The algorithm didn’t hate your video
  • People didn’t enjoy it
  • If people click and watch — YouTube promotes it.

    That’s it.

    Studying YouTube growth is really about studying human behavior.


    🔥 Make People Want to Watch 10 Videos, Not 1

    The goal isn’t just views — it’s session time.

    You want viewers thinking:

    > “That was insane… what’s next?”

    Creators who win long-term:

  • Overdeliver consistently
  • Build trust
  • Make viewers binge content
  • This invisible momentum is why top creators dominate.


    🚀 You Don’t Need Money to Go Viral

    One of the biggest myths MrBeast destroys:

    > “I could do that if I had money.”

    False.

    Many of his early viral videos:

  • Cost almost nothing
  • Used simple ideas
  • Focused on execution, not budget
  • Creativity beats money — especially at the start.
