Sean McVeigh Has Reached 11 Million Views Sharing His Outdoor Adventures to his 78k Subscribers! | 056

Sean McVeigh has a great passion for fishing and archery. He
initially created his website and YouTube channel which currently
has over 11 million views to share his outdoor adventures, but
they have since evolved into a platform for him to help teach
people what he knows about archery, bow hunting, fishing,
camping, etc. His first book titled Becoming a World-Class Hunter
was printed in 2009 and released a second edition of the same
book in 2014 with a new subtitle, A Bow Hunter’s Spiritual
Journey.


Sean developed a challenging hunt called The Map Reading
Challenge — intended to push hunters to improve their ability to
read topo maps and aerial photos to find hunting hot spots. His
YouTube channel is entitled Sean’s Outdoor Adventures wherein he
established back 10 years ago.


In this episode, Sean shared his strategies on YouTube and how he
reached eleven million views.


“So, the big tip is when you start uploading content, be ready to
be flexible and change your motion, your direction because if
you're gaining fans in a certain area, and it's not the main area
you were setting out to, you're either going to let go of what
you set out to do and embrace what people are looking for or
you're just not going to have the growth maybe if that's what you
want.”


Sean mentioned that his growth has improved when he started to
quit his original plans into something which the audience would
like to watch but is still related to the track.


“... diversify your content, try some different stuff.”


It is okay to have some content you wanted to share that is
different from your niche for a while. Sean said that he’s
sometimes doing home improvement projects. He discussed that even
if it is not related in his niche, he makes it a point that he
invites the viewers to check his main course at the end of the
video. 


“And I really attribute it to some of that diversification is
because I'm finding viewers outside of the niche right now. And I
was telling you about that basement finishing video, I'm getting
10s of thousands of views on that for people who aren't searching
hunting or archery. But when they find out that I'm hunting in
archery, maybe they're going to convert to watching that
content.”


“....at least get one video go viral.“


Having at least one viral video would already be a huge help to
leverage your YouTube channel—it gets promoted by YouTube and
people will start checking out other videos from your channel.
But this is not the main thing here.


“Don't make it so much about growing and subscribing, but grow
with the people that you want around you.” 


“As hard as I tried to be positive, and keep it positive, people
still took it the wrong way anyway. And some people were like,
lashing out at me calling me names.”


Sean mentioned that he was hesitant at first to share his faith
in God on his video contents because he is afraid to receive
criticisms and judgments which will lead to the downfall of his
followers. But when he has done it, his community became more
respectful and supportive.
