Conquering YouTube's Algorithm

TL;DR: With no production budget and no MCN support, I led a data-driven content strategy that grew Netflix Vietnam’s YouTube channel by 1400% in just one year.

The Challenge

Resurrect and grow a slow-growing, high-maintenance platform - Netflix VN's 7K -sub channel with:

❌ No budget for original video production

❌ No MCN or monetisation support

❌ No pre-existing YouTube strategy

❌ Low visibility in search & recommendations

The Goal:

Turn Netflix Vietnam’s YouTube into a fan-first discovery channel.

The Strategy?

So I gave myself a crash course in SEO and the algorithm, then built a test-learn-optimise loop that worked for us.

Cracking the SEO code

Every video, title, tags, description, playlist—we rewrote it all with search in mind. I passed the learnings to the team and created a SEO cheatsheet.

Soon, we weren’t just showing up—we were topping searches.

(Even for shows that weren’t exclusive to Netflix).

No budget? No problem.

We doubled down on what we did have:

creativity, curiosity, and hustle.

Every month, we launched new editorial formats—from fan-centric compilations, character arcs to plot deep-dives.

Editorial Driven

The Result?

Millions of organic views, and a YouTube presence that fans actually wanted to hang out with.
