Mr.Beast, Iman Gadzhi, Ali Abdaal and all of the YouTubers that are going viral are not smarter than you, they just know what works.
Good artists copy, Great artists steal.
You don’t have to guess to go VIRAL on YouTube, here’s how 👇
Mr.Beast, Iman Gadzhi, Ali Abdaal and all of the YouTubers that are going viral are not smarter than you, they just know what works.
But they are all doing ONE thing different from 99% of other YouTubers.
They are constantly TESTING and stealing concepts.
Not necessarily stealing, but focusing on what worked before.
Let’s take Mr.Beast as an example.
He literally “stole” the entire concept and thumbnail from the original video “Trains vs Giant Pit '' from BeamNG Nation channel.
Is that ethical?
Absolutely, but why?
Simply because it works.
Why would you want to focus on a new idea when you can copy other people’s ideas, add your own flavor and touch to them and go VIRAL again.
When it comes to videos, it’s the same.
When it comes to thumbnails it’s the same.
When it comes to hooks, it’s the same.
Mark Twain said it the right way:
There is no such thing as a new idea. It is impossible. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope. We give them a turn and they make new and curious combinations.
New ideas don’t exist, focus on what worked and double down on that!
It’s really that simple, even in practice.
