Lessons from one video

I have a small YouYube Channel called “The Cloud Security Guy”
Two weeks ago, I uploaded a YouTube video titled:
“Why Your Cybersecurity Job May Not Exist in 5 Years.”
I’ve uploaded dozens of videos before. Most got a few hundred views. A few crossed 1,000 if I was lucky.
But this one?
It exploded.
In 14 days:
- 20,000+ views
- 1,200+ watch hours
- 925 new subscribers
- $66.55 in revenue (so far)
- Most importantly: massive engagement, DMs, comments, and new opportunities.
This one video brought in more subscribers than the past 6 months combined.
