Four months ago, I was very close to quitting. Sleepless nights. Low views. Constant doubt. I kept asking myself if this was worth it. What saved me wasn’t motivation, it was clarity. Alexa’s @Alexa Saarenoja wisdom reminded me that progress starts quietly and that serving the audience matters more than chasing numbers. So I stayed. I focused on value and retention, not vanity metrics and everything changed. The roadmap that took me to $20K in 4 months: - Draftly for scripts, titles, tags, and descriptions - https://www.draftly.to - CapCut for fast, clean edits - https://www.capcut.com - ChatGPT (paid) for thumbnail ideas and hooks Once my AVD improved, the algorithm did the rest. This wasn’t luck. It was consistency and not quitting when quitting felt easy. If you’re tired, stuck, or doubting—stay.I recommend this roadmap to anyone starting out. Don’t quit. Your breakthrough is closer than you think.

Hello Everyone, I'm quite new here. Recently I started using this tool https://www.draftly.to/ for scripts, tags and description. I saw a small increase in my Average View Duration and views. I'm thinking it's because of this tool or in general. Does anyone over here have any experience???

Tribe - I'm starting a Series on YouTube - I'm calling it The Simple Song Series for Piano where I teach a different song in each video, taking the viewer through a journey to build a performance ready setlist through the series. I'm also going to send an accompanying newsletter to my email list. I also did my first Batch Content filming session and recorded 4 videos, now I just have to figure out how to edit in Final Cut Pro (I upgraded from iMovie) :) I'm trying to keep it moving forward!

Hi there. Which video editor app you recommend for beginners? I am thinking of Davinci.

Finally got last Sunday's video posted. Our house has been plagued with pestilence. I had less than 15 minutes of final polish remaining on Sunday. Then we all got sick.... I hope you all enjoy it. This has been my longest video yet and took 40+ recording, image, video, and music tracks to create. It also marks the first of my original poems that I have shared. <sigh> And I lived through it! https://youtu.be/gWuZZcJP8io?si=dput7IGhLePCQzgC Please watch it all the way through, like, comment and subscribe. And most of all please give me your constructive feedback. I am expecting continuous improvement from myself!
