Most YouTube tools show what's working for massive channels. Outlier shows you what's working for channels your size - so you can actually use it.
Growing a YouTube channel from scratch is uniquely difficult. Sound familiar?
YouTube trending shows content from massive channels. That's not helpful when you have 500 subscribers and different audience expectations.
VidIQ Max costs $49/month. TubeBuddy Legend costs even more. Hard to justify when your channel isn't making money yet.
Gurus say "just post consistently" but that advice assumes you have an audience. You need video IDEAS that work for channels your size.
You know your niche, but don't know which angles will actually get views. Everything feels like a guess.
Finally, tools designed for where you are - not where you want to be
Outlier's algorithm shows videos outperforming relative to subscriber count. A 1K subscriber channel video going viral is more useful inspiration than anything from a 10M channel.
Generate video ideas based on what's working for channels your size. The AI understands you don't have a production team or endless resources.
Start with our free tier - no credit card required. Use outlier discovery and basic AI features while you're growing. Upgrade when you're ready.
Monitor what's working for other small channels in your niche. Learn from creators 2-3 steps ahead of you, not unreachable giants.
