Elon Musk knocks it out of the park on SNL

Elon Musk knocks it out of the park during his hosting gig on Saturday Night Live.

Whippy the Whispering Wallflower is an ASMR children’s story. This is my whisper narration.

Book text:

Written and illustrated by Trev.

Book is designed to be whispered.

Whippy is a whispering wallflower.

She hides from the rest of the forest for peace and quiet.

Peace

Peace
Quiet

Ssshhh
Ssshhh
Ssshhh

Whippy whispers with contentment while the world wails.

One day, a group of tree lovers planted more trees around Whippy, as the shovels spoke.

Days and days passed as more trees started to grow.

Soon Whippy the Whispering Wallflower was united with foliage friends.

She did not want this
She did not want this
She did not want this
She did not want this

With the comfort of peace and quiet behind her, Whippy decided to make the best of her new situation.

She happily greeted everyone.

Hello
Hello
Hi
Hi

The social conversations brought more happiness to Whippy than being alone ever had.

Whippy blossomed from wallflower to the life of the forest.

I’m Whippy, I was shy before
I’m Whippy, I liked peace and quiet before
I’m Whippy, I was invisible before

I’m Whippy, I can hear you now 🙂

Here is how I got 1,000 YouTube views for 1 video in 6 hours…doing nothing.

Notes:

suggested videos (video was shared by YouTube across major video end screens – cocomelon, baby shark, pinkfong…surprising considering none of my videos are classified as ‘made for kids’)
timely (santa doodle around christmas time)
succinct content (vid was to-the-point, exactly what title described)
Unique hook – not just the usual Santa doodle – it was a thin Santa (enough of a difference for people to click through compared to more common vids)
Thumbnail showed a sneak peek, but not everything (Santa’s head, had to click for the body)
Average view duration was just OK (~%24 of vid), probably enough to gain traction
Only 2 likes, nothing earth-shattering there
Did no shares across any of my social media accounts (just an upload to YouTube)
Perhaps because it was published at a time when not many videos are published (close to Christmas holiday), I gained notice there
This is the first time I’ve had 1,000 views in a day, let alone a month, for one vid
My subscriber count (277 subs) definitely did not play a factor
