The KANDO Method
Know your topic well enough to teach it before you hit record.
Know who this video is for and what you are helping them with.
Find your angle and stay aware of YouTube algorithm and feature changes.
Use the Trends tab and your analytics to inform your next video.
Build your title, thumbnail, and full packaging before you record.
Growing on YouTube is hard. The effort you're putting in is real, and the frustration when it doesn't work is just as real.
Most channels that stall aren't lacking consistency or talent. They're working without a framework. The KANDO Method is the five-step YouTube growth framework Andrew Kan used to grow TubeBuddy's YouTube channel from 6,000 to over 530,000+ subscribers. He uses the same framework consulting for the NFL, BBC, and Nickelodeon.
Andrew applied the KANDO Method to an older video that had stopped growing. The click-through rate went from 4.3% to 7.1%, and the video got 65% more views without any new filming or editing. The framework works because each step forces one clear decision instead of guessing what to do next.
Use the KANDO Method before you film your next YouTube video, or run it on an older video that stopped growing. The framework helps at every stage of YouTube Growth, from your first YouTube Upload to your next 1,000 YouTube Subscribers. Watch What YOU Kan Do!
"I didn't grow TubeBuddy's YouTube Channel to 530,000+ subscribers by working harder. I got there by building a system I could use on every single YouTube video."
