Im a new youtuber that post videos on gaming, I see people like The Sidemen and Ali A post gaming videos all the time (Yes I understand they are big youtubers) but wonder how they got their first couple of videos viral to become the people they are today? I would like to kinda follow in their footsteps to become big in this crazy world:)Any suggestions?

There's no exact science on going viral. Although it's usually the case that the more successful your channel already is, the easier it is. But you have to be very careful about going viral too early. There's an old saying about the worst thing that can happen if you go to a casino, is if you win big on your first try or two. Many people who win the lottery or sports athletes after they retire go broke because they don't understand how money works. So it's better to learn all the fundamentals, and know how to grow a channel steadily. This way if you do go viral, you'll know how to carry the momentum.

Exactly this, if you're not ready for a sudden burst in traffic your channel growth will die very quickly again. Better learn quickly while your small and it still doesn't impact much yet!

As I said in another post that asked this. There is not a single youtuber that can say they know how to make a video viral. In fact most videos that go viral are extremely random (and short).

The entire reason viral videos are such a talking point is usually because they're never really expected to blow up in the way that they do. YouTube receives well over 1 billion views in a single day, and that's from both enormous creators as well as uploads from those with a smaller audience. So, the likelihood of your own content actually going viral is slim, unless you're a miracle worker who knows exactly how to manipulate the algorithm to your advantage.
In which case - how's it going, the name's Emma, we should hang out.

I wish I knew how to do it! Otherwise, I've gone viral by now. Keep pluggin away with your videos, make excellent content, and someone will eventually pick it up and run with it and make it viral.

Yes and no. It all depends on the content. There are no Youtubers that can simply make any video go viral, but there are plenty of people who can take truly compelling content and make it go viral.
