Many television shows don\u2019t even break this threshold, so you\u2019ve done something right. But if you\u2019re just starting your YouTube journey and can\u2019t get 100 views, 1 million seems like an impossible feat.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We&#8217;re going to give you a blueprint on how to get 1 million views on YouTube.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you read any further, we want to be very clear about a few things:<\/span><\/p><div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\"><ul><li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> You need to put in <strong>a lot of hard work and effort<\/strong> to hit this milestone.<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/li><li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> <strong>Commitment is key.<\/strong> If you\u2019re not committed, don\u2019t even bother trying.<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/li><li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Failure is certain, but if you <strong>continue to follow the steps below<\/strong>, you can hit your goal.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re fine with the three points above, it\u2019s time to begin your journey.

It sounds simple, but it\u2019s really not at all. Reddit had an interesting post on this topic with Google estimating that just <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">0.33%<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of videos will reach 1 million views.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if you think about it, hitting 1 million views is a huge challenge, but it\u2019s also not out of the realm of possibility.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also want to mention that this is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">per video<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
