Ok, it was kind of a pity sub haha, but I'm celebrating either way! Today I got my first subscriber, video like and comment (all from the same person). This must be what fame feels like? 🤣

My name is Sirit and I am from Austria. My Channel is in german, but I still wanted to be in this community because I found Alexa a few weeks ago and find her so inspiring and authentic and I want to learn a great deal here. I also hope for some meaningful connections and community and maybe even some people who speak german and can understand my channel...we`ll see 😅 Happy to be here, Sirit 🌸

https://youtu.be/7s0oPV4U5Oc?list=PLn80YGaRpVdKZPIvp5ziTqRd6gYAN-Mmq&t=569 Here Alexa mentions the value of keeping a viewer inside of your ecosystem. Specifically she calls out, "improving old videos" What does that mean specifically? Re-recording? Or just updating title/thumbnail/description/metadata? Is there an any reason NOT to do those things? Any Penalty?

Hi all, I know this is super early to be asking this given I only posted my first video yesterday, but I did something today and I wanted to get some thoughts from those of you with more experience. I'm doing the 30 day series, and one of them mentioned that the following 24 hours is another opportunity where YouTube will re-test your video. So I did an "experiment" (not sure if I can call it that with a single video 😬) Anyway, I changed the thumbnail, title and description. That's it. As a part of the series, I learned a little more about how to think about my title/thumbnail, so I just figured I should make an adjustment. Within an hour my CTR jumped up to 22% (was 2% yesterday and flat lined over night). I didn't get a ton of views in total and my avg watch time is only 1:55 on that video. I got bored watching it too 🤣 So what I'm wondering is how quickly can you interpret analytics like the CTR realistically? This is a terrible example I know, but it put the question in my mind, so I'm really just asking while I think about it (more for future me tbh). Any insights appreciated 😬

This video was so inspirational. I think Alexa really nailed it here. I will be making this my wallpaper and looking at these notes daily from now on! Love love love it!
