You should scroll through YouTube Shorts and look for videos with over a million views. Then, check the channels of these videos to see if they consistently post high-performing content, ideally within the past month or so.

Why is it important to analyze the timing and structure of a successful video?

The timing and structure of a successful video are crucial because they contribute to its virality. By emulating these aspects, you can increase the chances of your video performing similarly, especially when it comes to pacing, transitions, and visual changes.

What should you do if your content doesn’t go viral after several attempts?

If your videos don't go viral after 5 to 10 attempts, it could be a sign that you’ve chosen the wrong niche. In this case, you should re-evaluate your niche and apply the same strategies to explore different areas.
