Will a Supercars Mabeanie channel succeed?

Hey guys!

The answer is yes. At least the data suggests so.

In the last quarter, the views that my channel has received have been directed at both of my Supercars-related videos.

 

Focusing on the views made by subscribers,

 my Friday Night Fun V8 Supercars 3 video got 28% of watch time (28 min) and 1 view in this quarter (Jan. 1st to Mar. 20th, 2018), and my 2018 Supercars predictions video got 20% (19 min) and 2 views.

In addition, the predictions video got a 100% viewing average across the 2 views, whereas my V8s 3 FNF video got a 67% viewing average for its only view of the quarter.

Remembering that this is only about the views and watch time from existing subscribers to my channel, I already have an audience for Supercars videos. One thing that should also be noted is that such content is not regular, and may have been viewed because of its unusual nature on my predominantly gaming-related channel.

Looking at the channel overall,

the Supercars predictions video comes in 2nd in terms of watch time after my long-time most popular video, the envelope edit tool tutorial. The tutorial got 72% of the watch time this quarter, with 520 minutes of watch time, with the predictions getting 3.9% and 28 minutes of watch time.

In terms of views, the tutorial remains at the top with 523 (61%), and the predictions fall down to be 9th in the order with 6 views (0.7%).

Hooking an audience

One of the positives of the Supercars video is the number of viewers who aren't subscribers. What's more is that the average viewing duration doesn't just drop off after the first second, and reaches halfway through the video. In addition, one person (out of the 7) watched for 100% of the time and is from New Zealand, a prime Supercars location. This means that I'm reaching an audience. All I have to do is target them and bring them in by focusing on things that they may be interested in, while also maintaining my own interest.

I also hope to collaborate with other Supercars channels such as Supercars with Shane, and Hobbo88 (mostly a racing simulator channel but he's a fan of Supercars with a fanbase that comes with it).

I'm quite excited about the future of MrMabeanie in its future identity as Supercars Mabeanie. However, I should play it safe by testing the waters of Supercars videos before I fully commit.

See Ya!

PS: I also hope to use my friend Ihasnotomato to draw extra attention to my channel by doing more collaborations.
