YouTube analytics page showing my 2022 stats
As we enter the new year of 2023, I want to publicly reflect on how my YouTube channel performed in 2022. From reaching 1,000 subscribers to getting “viral” on a couple of my videos. It was my strongest year out of my two years of managing this channel after the previous channel ban. Throughout 2022, I was performing like any small channel on the platform. Averaging hundreds of views per day, rarely breaking the 1,000 mark. As the days passed, I studied how to take advantage of growing my channel’s potential to a new level. This helped me gain a massive audience and helped my channel grow. Because of this, I managed to get myself monetized on January 24, 2022, which allowed me to earn money from ad revenue on my videos.
Going into the analytics of my channel, I made serious gains that I hadn’t seen before. I racked up a whopping 1,125,600 views, 55,749.8 watch time (hours), 6,259 subscribers, and $2,069.21 in ad revenue. This massive gain is all thanks to a handful of my Automation Engine Series videos. Specifically, the Ultimate, No Stress Inline 6, Inline 3, and V16 engines got a combined viewership total of 588,061 views. This is about 52.24% of my total viewership for the entire year. The reason why I decided to make these videos is to tackle the “shorter form” content that is becoming popular on YouTube, and I was inspired by another engine creator named, Forgotten Mustard who made powerful engines in Automation.
For my Automation/BeamNG build videos, the most popular one out of my 63 videos created after the channel ban is the Audi R8 knockoff with a max bore, minimum stroke engine. That video got 42,503 views from its publish date of October 13, 2022. I plan on revising that car in the future, as people in the comments mentioned its poor performance of 198 HP from a 2.5L N/A V8 engine. The second most popular video in this series is the 10,200+ HP V16 used in a car. That video got 19,478 views since its upload date back on February 12, 2022. I revised this engine months later with the LCV 4.2.29 engine designer update, which makes over 12,300 HP. Despite this update, I haven’t used this engine on a car lately. Since people in the comments on that video claimed they managed to get over 13,000 HP with their builds. I’m thinking about revising that engine and placing it into a car for BeamNG.
In the future, I’m willing to carry this tremendous growth I had last year throughout the year of 2023. I made several changes to how I present my videos and how I edit them since its inception. In my old Automation/BeamNG videos, I started the video by giving a detailed overview of the body, chassis, and engine for the first half of the video. Then, I drove the cars as so in BeamNG for the second half. Now, I show off how I design the car, engine, and show a time-lapse segment of me designing the vehicle. Also, I’m beginning to move my usual intro greeting, “Hey guys, it’s TRIZE here!” toward the end of the intro segment. The reason why I made this decision is that people want to know what the video is all about right away. Not in the next 20 seconds, 1 minute, or all that. I would rather explain things briefly while remaining on point.
So this concludes this blog post about the previous year of my YouTube channel and my future endeavors. I would like to thank everyone who has been supporting me throughout the past year. Whether you’ve been around since the MrJacon000 days or the current TRIZE channel. I’ve got another 365 days of the year to make further improvements on the channel. No matter the size of my impact, I will continue to create and pursue my passion for being an automotive/racing sim YouTuber.
