Actually finished day 8 on Thursday, and yesterday was extremely busy, but today I plan to complete day 9 after my part time shift. My outline for my first video is complete. My title is, “If you feel stuck, watch this”. It’s a title that’s been used often, but I intend to provide my unique take. I hope it will resonate and inspire those that are “stuck” to take the steps to get unstuck, and live with purpose. Stay tuned for the video link coming soon. Thanks to all the trailblazers and inspiring creators for cheering me on: @Dr. Saundra Stancil @Jaye Brunner @Jenny Sharratt @Ricardo Solomons @Cat PInegar

I had lots of insights after watching my first video. All of the emotions I had making it came flooding back. Most of all I just felt proud, of where I started and where I am now. This process has been so good for me and I know if I keep going I will continue to grow personally. On to day 15 tomorrow- the halfway point😊 We’ve got this @Jaye Brunner @Dr. Saundra Stancil @Ricardo Solomons @Dajana K. @Cat PInegar @Virgil Rucker

I know, it's Friday night, right now YT is my life! Don't worry, I spent the day with a dear friend shopping and having Lunch! This lesson confirms what I was hoping for. I have changed my tone in my videos, less teaching, more conversational. This change started with the videos I started posting in April. My goodness, I can see the change in engagement! The video I posted yesterday at 6pm, 24 hours later - 9.6% CTR! Highest Ever! AVD percentage 55.2%! I know this drops over time, but wow, the first 24 hours has been good! The other two videos posted in April, the numbers were in the 4.3% CTR and 42% AVD. Much better than the videos in March, average CTR 3.5% and average AVD 24%. Time will tell if the shifting to being more conversational and adding interesting B-roll is a real shift. Thank you team for your continued support @Jenny Sharratt @Dr. Saundra Stancil @Eddi Pinegar @Cat PInegar @Adam Tinkoff @Casey Hamlin @Ricardo Solomons @Virgil Rucker

I made myself more work for this one by editing my channel name slightly, and updating my channel banner to reflect the name change and include my weekly livestream time which was so successful. I gained 9 subscribers in 3 days after going live (from 67 to 76). I made a playlist for my livestreams and will share this as a community post. I have to get moving with the next steps so I can meet my goal of completing this challenge in April🤞 Sending thanks for the constant encouragement from my fellow CB creators @Jaye Brunner @Dr. Saundra Stancil @Ricardo Solomons @Cat PInegar @Virgil Rucker @Dajana K.

I really enjoyed the video from day 7, very encouraging and reinforces the fact that if I (we) keep making small steps, I (we) will gain momentum and make progress. I'm excited about the upcoming days/steps. One thing I'm proud of, I actually completed each day/step and set up my YT channel, "Virgil on Purpose". No videos yet, but I'm ready to start recording, editing, and publishing (knowing it's gonna be another "step out of my comfort zone"). On to the next one... @Dr. Saundra Stancil @Jenny Sharratt @Jaye Brunner @Cat PInegar @Ricardo Solomons
