Introduction

In this insightful episode of Maximum Lawyer, host Tyson Mutrux delves into the transformative journey of revitalizing the podcast's YouTube channel. Released on May 24, 2025, the episode titled "The Power of Consistency: How We Boosted Our YouTube Channel" offers a comprehensive look into the strategies, challenges, and successes experienced over a dedicated 120-day period of focused content creation and optimization.

The YouTube Channel's Humble Beginnings

Tyson begins by providing a historical perspective on the YouTube channel's inception and early struggles:

“You would think that maybe we had been focusing on the YouTube channel forever. That's not true. We had the account since 2019. So I actually pulled up the first date was February 1st of 2019 when we opened that account. We had our first view on May 4th of 2019 and then basically no views at all for a good year and a half, two years.”
(00:10)

This stark beginning sets the stage for understanding the significance of the subsequent turnaround.

Reviving the Channel: Focus and Optimization

After a period of minimal activity, Tyson explains the pivotal shift in focus starting approximately 90 to 120 days prior to the episode's recording:

“What I've been trying to do over the last, I guess now 120 days, ish, 90 to 120 days, maybe a little bit more than that is focus on the YouTube channel and, you know, making sure that it's optimized. Make sure that we're having growth there.”
(02:15)

Key Optimization Strategies:

Content Quality Enhancement:
Tyson emphasizes the importance of high-quality visuals and engaging interviews:

“We're putting out really good videos, really good interviews. We're doing the in-person interviews and from a visual standpoint they are... the visuals are just fantastic and the guests we're having are fantastic.”
(03:05)
Channel Optimization Techniques:
Drawing inspiration from guest Jeff Hampton, Tyson implemented several optimization tactics:

“Changing the description, changing the title, changing the thumbnails, some of the things we did.”
(04:20)

He recommends listeners to explore Jeff Hampton's episodes for a deeper dive into these techniques.

Implementing a Consistent Content Release Formula

A cornerstone of their YouTube resurgence was establishing a consistent and strategic content release schedule. Tyson outlines their approach in detail:

“When it comes to us releasing the content, it really comes down to two anchor podcasts and that's the Tuesday show and then the Saturday show.”
(06:10)

Weekly Content Structure:

Anchor Episodes:
- Tuesday & Saturday: Full-length podcast episodes serve as the primary content pillars for the week.
Daily Short Clips:
- Sunday to Friday: Each day features a 5 to 15-minute segment derived from the anchor episodes, maintaining audience engagement throughout the week.
Daily Shorts:
- In addition to the main videos, two to three short clips are posted daily, highlighting key moments and one-liners to attract a broader audience.

“We're highlighting some of the key conversations, some of the key shorts... it's leading to more views on the anchor episodes, the Tuesdays and Saturdays.”
(07:45)

This repurposing strategy not only maximizes content usage but also ensures a steady stream of fresh material, keeping the audience consistently engaged.

Tangible Results: Metrics that Matter

Tyson shares the quantitative outcomes of their focused efforts, showcasing significant growth in various metrics:

Over the Last 28 Days:

Views: 120% increase
Watch Time: 250% increase
Subscribers: 100% increase

(08:15)

Over the Last 90 Days:

Views: 628% increase
Watch Time: 69% increase
Subscribers: 57% increase

(08:45)

Annual Growth (Last Year):

Views: 278% increase
Watch Time: 92% increase
Subscribers: 31% increase

(09:10)

“If you look at the chart you can see, you can definitely see where it's, it's increased over the last 120 days or so.”
(09:30)

These impressive numbers validate the effectiveness of their consistent and strategic approach.

The Blueprint for YouTube Success

Tyson generously shares their "recipe" for YouTube growth, making it accessible for listeners seeking to enhance their own channels:

“This is something that I just was observing other major YouTube channels, seeing how they do it and I just kind of ripped off what they're doing and it's effective.”
(09:50)

Core Components of the Formula:

Consistency:
Maintaining a regular upload schedule to keep the audience engaged and algorithms favoring the channel.
Quality Content:
Focusing on producing high-quality interviews and visually appealing videos to attract and retain viewers.
Repurposing Content:
Maximizing the utility of anchor episodes by creating multiple shorter clips and shorts to reach diverse audience segments.
Optimization:
Continuously refining titles, descriptions, and thumbnails to enhance discoverability and click-through rates.

“Consistent Action is the blueprint that turns your goals into into reality.”
(10:25)

Tyson encourages listeners to adopt these strategies, emphasizing their adaptability and effectiveness across various content niches.

Final Encouragement and Community Engagement

In closing, Tyson urges listeners to take action and engage with the community:

“If you're looking to grow your YouTube presence, then this is a really simple formula... give it a try.”
(09:55)

He also invites feedback and interaction, reinforcing the podcast’s commitment to community building:

“Shoot me a text if you have any comments on this, if you disagree with anything, or if you agree with anything. 314-501-9260 make sure you save that.”
(09:35)

This is maximum Lawyer with your host, Tyson Mutrix. Welcome back to another Saturday episode of Maximum Lawyer. And today I've got a really fun one for you. I'm going to be going through some of the results we've had from our YouTube channel. I'm recording another episode from the Delta Sky Lounge. That's because I've got a three hour delay. My flight was pushed back. So I figured I would knock out this episode. And I've been wanting to talk about what we've been doing with our YouTube channel and some of the results we've gotten. So that's what I'm going to do. Before I get into that though, shoot me a text. 314-501-9260 would love to hear from you always. I get great feedback all the time. Love hearing from you all. 314-501-9260 Very interesting feedback that I've gotten on some of the episodes over the last few weeks. So keep the fun comments coming. Speed of YouTube. Some of the comments that we've gotten on the YouTube channel have been also pretty interesting as well. So I always like to have fun with some of the comments. It's, it's, it can be a fun adventure sometimes. So let's get into the YouTube channel. So let me give you a little bit of a history about our YouTube channel. You would think that maybe we had been focusing on the YouTube channel forever. That's not true. We had the account since 2019. So I actually pulled up the the first date was February 1st of 2019 is when we opened that account. We had our first view. We had one view on May 4th of 2019 and then basically no views at all for a good year and a half, two years. And really we've done nothing with the channel during 2023. We were doing A little bit of posting, but nothing much. And what I've been trying to do over the last, I guess now 120 days, ish, 90 to 120 days, maybe a little bit more than that is focus on the YouTube channel and you know, making sure that it's optimized. Make sure that we're having growth there. Because we're putting out really. I mean in my opinion this is a little self serving and a little biased but like we're putting out really good videos, really good interviews. We're doing the in person interviews and from a visual standpoint they are. Say what you want about the questions that maybe I ask from time to time. The visuals are just fantastic and the guests we're having are fantastic. And so we really want to highlight that as much as we can. And so we've been focusing on it. And some of this comes from. We had Jeff Hampton on the show and he gave us some tidbits and pointers and had some really good small things that we did. Changing the description, changing the title, changing the thumbnails, some of the things we did. So those are really basic things that we did from that episode. So if you want to learn some of that basic stuff, go check out that episode with Jeff Hampton. He did, we actually did two of them, I believe. I know we did training, maybe did one. We did one episode but we also did a training in the guild for non guild members. Just listen to that episode's great. He did, he went far more in depth in the training in the guild. Just really, really good stuff we took and we applied some of that. What we did as an added layer is I'm going to give you our formula, I guess if you want to call it that for how we release our videos. And that is I think maybe has been one of the bigger things that has led to the growth we've had. Now we're not talking about millions of views at this point, but we had an almost zombie YouTube channel. And so it takes a little bit of time to get some, some momentum and we have, we have started to get that momentum and it's pretty cool to watch it happen. So if we look at. So I'm pulling up over the last 28 days it. We had a. We've had about, over the last 28 days. It's about the way YouTube puts it as, you know, the, the number over, you know, more than usual. So we're about 120% more than usual when it comes to views. Watch time. Almost. Yeah, about 250% increase in watch time. We've had an almost a hundred percent increase in subscribers over the last, that's the last 28 days. So last 28 days, pretty good increase over the last 90 days. Okay, so we've seen, this is consent, this is continued where. So if you look at the last 90 days, we had a 628% increase in views over the previous 90 days. And remember we've been doing this for a little bit longer than 90 days over the our watch time, a 69% increase over the previous 90 days and then subscribers 57% increase over the previous 90 days. So what we are doing, it is working, that is for sure. And so and I guess I'll give you the last 365 days. So if we look at the last year, right? So I've not been, I've not been focusing on this for quite a year, but probably closer to the 120 day mark is really kind of 120, 150, let's, let's just call it that. 278% from the previous year. So in the last year we've had a 278% increase in views, 92% increase in watch time and then a 31% increase in subscribers. So and if you know, looking at the chart you can see, you can definitely see where it's, it's increased over the last 120 days or so. So let me give you sort of the recipe, right, the what we've been doing. And again when it comes to like thumbnails and all, like getting into the description and titles, go watch the Jeff Hampton or listen to the Jeff Hampton interview. He does a great job talking about it. When it comes to just sort of the, the recipe. And when it comes to us releasing the content, it really comes down to two anchor podcasts and that's the Tuesday show and then the Saturday show. All right, so I record those. That's what we record for that week. From that we then create five to 15 minute interviews and we release those at least one a day for the remaining five days. So you've got the Tuesday full length episode, the Saturday full length episode. So we kind of start from that. So we start with a Sunday, we would release a 5 to 15 minute video. Monday 5 to 15 minute video. Tuesday's the full length, Wednesday 5 to 15 minute. And again these are cut from those bigger episodes. Thursday 5 to 15, Friday 5 to 15. Saturday is the full length episode. And then we kind of start over again right in addition to that, what we do is we release two to three shorts a day. So two to three shorts a day again cut from those episodes that we had created. Those, those two episodes, the Tuesday episode, Saturday episode, and that's it. So what we're doing is to a certain extent repurposing, but we're highlighting some of the, the key conversations, some of the key, you know, shorts, the topics, the, you know, like the one liners, those, those you know, short one minute clips. We're highlighting those things and then it's then feeding back and it's leading to more views on the, the, the anchor, I'll call the anchor episodes, the Tuesdays and Saturdays. And that's what's led to, to pretty good growth over, over the last 120 days. And I, at this point I'm looking for consistency, right? I was looking for just a little bit of growth, get some momentum, get the channel reactivated, right? And then start to see that steady growth. I'm not looking for going from zero to a million in a couple months. That's not what I'm looking for. What I want to see is that steady growth and that's what we're seeing. And if, if this, what we're doing currently starts to change and it's not and it starts to not be as effective, then, then we'll, we'll adjust from there. But everything's looking really good at this point. So hopefully if you're not a subscriber on YouTube, hopefully you will go and you'll subscribe to our YouTube channel. It's just Maximum Lawyer on YouTube. I guess that's a good time to. If you're not subscribed to the podcast, if you listen to this on audio only, give us a subscribe if you don't mind. And then if you like what you're listening to, I'd love to love it if you'd give me a review. It definitely helps spread the love to other lawyers that are trying to improve. So. But if you're looking to grow your you YouTube presence, then this is a really simple formula. Okay. I'm not a huge fan of like use this formula. I'm just telling you this is what has been working for us and I think it's something that might actually work for, for a lot of different people. This is something that I just was observing other major YouTube channels, seeing how they do it and I just kind of ripped off what they're doing and it's, it's effective. So I don't know if this is something that they're in anyone's teaching anywhere. It's something that I just sort of observed and I just said, hey, you know what? If it's working for them, it's going to work for us. And it has been. So I think it would work for all of you too. So give it a try. If it's if you're already doing well with YouTube, don't worry about it. But otherwise, give it a try. Shoot me a text if you have any comments on this, if you disagree with anything, or if you agree with anything. 314-501-9260 make sure you save that. It'll also be in the show notes. But until next week, remember that Consistent Action is the blueprint that turns your goals into into reality. Take care everybody.
