Why it works

• One numbered-list formula: 17 of 18 titles open with a number, 15 of them 25, 30 or 35 items
• Strong regional hook: 15 of 18 titles say Appalachian, Mountain or Coal Country
• Quilting topics stand out: the two quilting videos have 20,300 and 9,835 views of about 31k channel total
• High, steady output: 18 videos since Sep 4, about 4 a week, each around 25–30 minutes
• Same recurring persona and thumbnail layout across all 10 thumbnails builds a recognisable look
