Its been a while since I have shared anything but just wanted to share some updates in the hope that it gives others some inspiration. After a few months in a bit of a slump, only reaching a couple of hundred views on each video, I have seemingly turned a corner. How did I get there? Well a few things have happened and I will list here: 1. Obviously continuing to follow Alexa's fabulous advice and teachings on her YouTube videos 2. Working with ChatGPT to get help with ideas for titles, thumbnails, descriptions and loose scripts. 3. Posting consistently - I do two longform videos a week and am in the middle of a daily challenge with shorts, documenting a month of life on a budget (my niche) 4. Listening to my audience, discovering what they want and delivering on that. 5. Being authentic.. most of my viewers say this is what they love 6. Offering free downloads of helpful tools (free for now while I build trust) 7. Manifesting I have been two years on YouTube, monitised in April 25, and am now almost at 2k subs. My videos are now reaching the 5k mark and am getting lots of engagement. Latest stats in image below and I'm due a paycheck of £111.08 in February! If I can do this, so can YOU!! 💪

For those of you who record using your laptop, do you use the laptop mic OR do you use something external? If so, what do you use?

How many of you are posting on youtube (under posts) and do you find this to be beneficial? @Alexa Saarenoja what is your suggestion on this?

I want to share how happy I feel. This week I had the pleasure of meeting 2 wonderful people from this group and doing a podcast with them. It has reminded me how much I enjoy this style of content. I definitely want to sprinkle this into my content schedule more regulary. Thank you @Gale Bates and @Kimberly Anne If there is anyone in the Make Money online niche, that would like to connect for a podcast, pleas send me a dm. Id love to schedule something in to have you on my channel.

I will be posting a series on how to grow your youtube channel, at least 5 (long form) videos each week + a companion workbook to help keep you stay on track. Let's do this! Get ready to grow your channel before the New Year! Woohooo!
