Let's go into the weekend strong and powerful!

Needed rest today. Held space. Listened to my body. GOOD. Went to action the B-roll prep and found my PC running on WiFi from a router a country mile away. Spinning wheel of death. Zero updates. Zero footage loading. GOOD. - Exposed a weak link in my setup. Mission today: buy a LAN cable, plug in direct, update everything. Clear the path. obstacles reveal what needs fixing. Now it's fixed. Day 11, let's go. 💪🔌 Who else had a "didn't go to plan" day this week?

I was among the first 500 members to this group. And I credit Alexa and the group for much of my success as a YouTube Creator. I started my channel at 80 years old, monetized in nine weeks and now I have over 43,000 subscribers. I have started my own Skool, “Old Me Living Better.” It’s only three weeks old but has over 250 members. It is $5.00 a month. Nothing else to buy. You get access to my guides and worksheets, including “How I Make $1000 a Month Side Income,” and my “YouTube Quick Start Guide.” https://www.skool.com/oldmeliving/about

Here's a YouTube feature most creators don't leverage: scheduled live stream pre-notifications. When you schedule a live stream in advance, it shows up on viewers' homepages before you've even gone live (see image above). This isn't just a calendar reminder. It's premium real estate on their YouTube homepage, sitting alongside their regular feed content. Why This Matters Most creators think YouTube visibility = uploads + shorts + community posts. But scheduled live streams give you a fourth content touchpoint that appears days before your actual stream. Your subscribers can: - See your upcoming topic - Set notifications - Track your channel automatically - Engage before you've even started The Consistency Advantage If you schedule regular live streams (weekly Q&As, monthly workshops, whatever fits your niche), you're training YouTube's algorithm to surface your channel more frequently. The key requirement: Your audience needs to watch your content regularly. YouTube won't show your scheduled streams to people who ignore your videos. But for engaged subscribers? You're now visible in multiple places across their feed. Simple tactic. Underutilised. Powerful for consistent creators. 🚀
