Spike in views - is this real?

Hi all,

Up until yesterday my most popular video had 100 views then today it’s gone crash. It’s stating 4.4k views. 2 videos over 1000 and 2 around the 6 - 750 mark.

I’m new to YouTube and putting a lot of effort into making it look the part. Logo, intro cinematics, video and audio quality - I’m working on a trailer currently!

Could this be some sort of bot or is this typical? If it is real is there any way I should maximize on this?

Thanks!

Maybe it was shared by someone else?
Enjoy it while it lasts! it´s always good to see your videos get an increase in views! I have a few videos with over 1.5 k in views, but the past year I have seen that the average watch time has gone down!
 
I’m only 22 days in so it’s a nice surprise!

I’m just hoping I can maintain it.

Any suggestions on if I should stay on my advertised schedule of Monday, Thursday and Saturday or get something up ASAP to ride the wave.

I was going to release an Xbox video but with the Switch game doing so well I’m thinking of another Switch review.[DOUBLEPOST=1511244206,1511244043][/DOUBLEPOST]I’m only 22 days in so it’s a nice surprise!

Keep to your schedule mate. The spike will bring in increased amount of new potential subs. They will want to see you stick to a schedule rather than uploading more often just to ride a wave.
Whilst your on this wave make sure your next vides are the best you have ever made.
 
Check your analytics and see where the views are coming from. It's happened a couple of times for me recently where a 2 month old video will suddenly make the recommended screen in a none English speaking country. Lot's of click but no watch time when they realise they can't understand what I'm saying.
Hope that's not the case for you and you get some good out of it.
 
There can be bots that will give you views for no reason but the nintendo switch video's traffic seems real based on the number of comments and likes that video got. What you want to do is create more content like the stuff that did well and in particular find out why it did well so you can reproduce the success. Maybe the nintendo switch has some demand for game reviews, or maybe it was just that particular game. It looks to me like it was the particular game based on how your tags ranked, but it could mean there is demand for similar videos on other switch games. The subs you gained from that video might want to watch more of that game though.

Anytime you can find a pattern that works on YouTube you have a good opportunity to continue it and pull in that audience.

Not the case, watch time is good and there are just drone footage with music
