I work for a media company that works with YouTube creators. From my experience you should add following items to your list: - new uploaded videos drive traffic to old videos of the same channel - schedule consistency and calendar: 2-3 videos at least each week. It's very important - links from other channels: it helps when other channels promote your videos. - live streams help boost views (see https://gyre.pro/ - I'm not affiliated with this, but I know creators use it and get good results)

Generally services like vidiq or tubebuddy help you. Many creators use them.

The algorithm that you talk about changes quite often. Most of creators make lots of experiments to find their algorithms.

Make sure to stick to YouTube community guidelines. Seriously, YouTube can ban you forever if something in their view goes wrong.
