Niche

Winter power-outage preparation for people over sixty and those living alone

Audience

Adults over sixty and people living alone in cold-winter areas of the US who want low-cost, practical steps for a winter blackout; the about text names 'folks over sixty' and 'anyone living alone', and titles name seniors, older Americans and women over 60.

Why it works

• Store shopping-list videos lead: Walmart (37,061 views) and Costco (33,474); no other upload passes 8,044
• 7 of 8 titles promise a numbered list (10, 12, 11, 15, 8 items or steps)
• Narrow audience: the about text targets over-sixties living alone; 3 of 8 titles name seniors, older Americans or women over 60
• Seasonal timing: all 8 are about winter outages, uploaded Sep 27-Oct 4, ahead of the cold ('Before November')
• High output: 8 uploads in 8 days (median gap 0.9 days); +25,089 views and +116 subscribers in the last day
