I do broadcasts on DIY and home improvement topics: how to sew curtains, how to restore old furniture, such cozy content for people who like to do things with their hands. I have broadcasts every Friday, and for the first couple of months there was complete silence - there were no viewers at all, except for a couple of friends. Then one subscriber from Etsy (!) wrote that she found my channel by accident, because YouTube "showed me in recommendations". And then it dawned on me - I need to somehow artificially shift the activity so that the platform begins to perceive my content as worthwhile. I was also told about SMM-World at one closed webinar on SMM, where there was a lot of real case exchange. There they advised to youtube live views buy, but carefully and only from those who do not pour "dead" bots. I decided to test - I first bought the minimum package, 200 views per broadcast. And, honestly, I did not expect the effect: the views did not come suddenly, but gradually - first five, then ten, then twenty. And YouTube clearly took it seriously, because after 20 minutes I saw a sharp surge in organic traffic: comments started pouring in, someone even liked it during the broadcast, and one person stayed on the broadcast until the end. Then I started doing this regularly — 300–500 views at the start, and the stream immediately looked “live.” The main thing is not to overdo it. If you have a channel for 200 subscribers, and suddenly there are 2,000 viewers on the broadcast — it will be strange. But 100–300 is just right. And another life hack: start the broadcast 15 minutes before the main content, let it run in advance, and at that moment you can start the views so that they drip until the moment when you actually start talking.
