Hey! I'm Danita, here to learn and implement so that I can work towards my secret goal of making something more of myself other than mom, wife and employee. Currently solo 'mommying' and trying to figure life out in our 'half way house' South Africa while we wait for our visa approval to join my husband in Ireland. Time to do anything is always a factor but I am adamant to make a difference, share my journey and meet some amazing women along the way. I'm a self help junkie and turned my life around from binging day dreamer to action taker I'm very grateful to be here and excited :)

I hit 1K subs today! One video that has 20K views is what made the difference. From what I can tell about 3-4% of viewers who watched that video ended up subscribing. I went from just under 200 to 1K in one week. I was so excited to see that number I kept my analytics screen up until I hit it. I actually screen recorded it and brought my daughters in to cheer with me. 🙌 Thanks so much @Alexa Saarenoja for all the great content you've created. It has helped so much! 🥰 Like Alexa said recently, once you post 10 videos you really start to hit your stride. I think I will hit my 4K watch hours in the next 10 days (ish), and you know what happens then! I know that Ad Sense doesn't typically bring in big money, but it's a huge milestone for me and I can't wait. I've wanted this for so long. Best.feeling.ever!

So after watching Alexa's video "Hook viewers in 5 seconds" .. this happened! My next video had more views, more watch time and the retention graph was way better than previous videos .. it hasn't gone "viral" but its a good foundation. Thank you Alexa 🙂
