Hello everyone! I hope you're all having a great weekend. I have a question about video retention. I'm experiencing a significant drop-off right from the intro on my educational YouTube channel. How do you deal with this? Are there any strategies you've found helpful for improving retention without relying heavily on visuals, B-roll, or other production elements? I've tried keeping the intro short and clear, explaining what the video is about, and then briefly introducing myself and my expertise in the field. Could the issue be that I'm new to YouTube and haven't built trust with my audience yet? I'm curious about how I can build that trust and maintain better retention. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

@Alexa Saarenoja has asked me to do a presentation about storytelling next week. I have some ideas around general theory and techniques you can use for unearthing your stories, but why burning questions to you have? What do you want to know?

Hello everyone! I am glad to be part of this community of Content Creators. Looking forward to interact with you when you can.

Hello everyone! I hope you’re all having a great day or night so far! =) I’m a new YouTube creator. As a non-native English speaker myself, on my channel I talk about how to become fluent and overcome the fear of speaking English. I joined this community because I really appreciate the effort Alexa puts into her work, and of course because I want to be around people who are motivated to grow and improve themselves.

Here we go guys. Which one plus feedback if you don't mind.
