With only two (2) videos up, I have gained 8 subscribers. I am excited about that! I decided to start making videos on a regular basis now. I decided to do ASQ (Answer Specific Questions) just to get the momentum started. That's because I tend to want to complete the entire program, and in this case, this challenge before doing anything else. But that approach isn't working for my audience and me who need this NOW. I researched and found many common questions that I will be answering. This will become a playlist, but I don't have a name for it yet. If something comes to mind, please share it. (I think I will put a poll question up as see what others here think.) Now back to the lesson of this Day 12! I watched this video 7 times on several different days. This checklist is not complete until I have done all of the steps. I decided to create an actual checklist sheet so I can check off each area as complete. I will do that later, but for now all of these steps will be in this next video and going forward. Because I only have 2 videos on the channel right now, I will go back and do these steps on those, but at a later time. This Day 12 has 3 pages! Why did it take me so long to complete this??🙃 My Answer: Well, outside of life's happenings, I realize that I really am not comfortable creating videos without my script plan (Day 8 & the Scripting Workshop) completely in place🫣. So I decided, I will designate a day just to work on that so my progress with this challenge is not stunted. Day 12 is complete & workbook notes attached! The video is not ready, but I will share it in another post while it marinates for 48 hours before being released to the world. Now, onward to Day 13➡️➡️➡️ Side Info: -Current Niche: Teaching Gift Basket Biz Startups -Pivoted from: Recovery from Narcissistic Abuse To each of you, My Cheering Team & Accountability Tags: @Yvette Bowlin @Jenny Sharratt @Dajana K. . @Michael LeJeune @Cam F @Travel Gran @Jaye Brunner @Eddi Pinegar @Adam Tinkoff @Ricardo Solomons @Dawn Ponsford @Monika Astara Murphy @Andy Asher @Deb D @Laura Niebauer @Cat PInegar @Virgil Rucker , THANK YOU!!!💞 You opinion, support, comments, and concerns always enlighten me and keep me going!

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

I reviewed a few successful Gen-X creators titles and thumbnails for this days challenge. There was definitely a pattern for their titles. One uses a contrarian formula, the other uses a mistake/ warning formula. Both creators are having huge success. While I have taken onboard the strategies Alexa outlines, I will still honour my own creative process and avoid sensationalised or misleading titles and thumbnails. What’s important to me is staying true to myself and to not overanalyze my ideas. Let’s do this CB Challenge crew: @Dr. Saundra Stancil @Jaye Brunner @Ricardo Solomons @Dajana K. @Cat PInegar @Virgil Rucker

Oh I will have to grow into this! So far the topics that work are controversial! They bring the comments that are way over my head. People trying to set me straight! There are a lot people way more knowledgeable than I am in my niche and they want to thump me with their theology! I shy away from topics that I think with spur people on. If I made more I would get more comments for sure! I have been working on my tone in my videos, I am toning it down. I tend to get in teacher mode. I want to come across like a friend having a conversation. I am getting there. I will want to do this day again when I get some videos out that are actually being watched! I think the analysis will go better. On to day 23! @Jenny Sharratt @Dr. Saundra Stancil @Eddi Pinegar @Cat PInegar

Game changer for me the last time I did the challenge. This is my flow, what works for me. It took me months to get to here. ➡Creative High Point - very early in the morning! While it is still dark! ➡Weekly Filming day and time - Monday and Thursday. Monday early morning, Thursday late morning. ➡Day before filming - review script or write it ➡What I record (try to ) - 1 long, 2 shorts ➡Editing happens when most people would be watching TV or during those very early morning hours when I can't sleep. ➡Looking ahead plan - I have 3 videos filmed ready to be edited. I have 4 titles ready to be scripted. ➡Posting Schedule - long form, Thursday am, Short #1 the following Sunday pm, Short #2 Tuedsay at lunch time ➡What keeps me on track - my google doc tracker, I print it off and check off tasks done manually. I am still old school in a lot of ways! I have linked the tracker, you are welcome to use it if it helps you. @Jenny Sharratt @Dr. Saundra Stancil @Eddi Pinegar @Cat PInegar
