My channel is completely stagnant and it's all my fault. My mistakes were; 1, Not having a definite niche 2, Not planning content, just spur of the moment stuff. 3, Not focusing on quality sound 4, Posting unrelated content 5, Deleting content 6, Not posting regularly I could go on but what started as a home movie album tried to become something else. Do I persevere with the channel as 'public', or revert to private and start a new channel ai.ed at growth. I enjoy the challenge of YT when I have the time. As I approach retirement it could give me a new challenge.

What’s the timeframe you should track a video that you post? Week, month, 24-72 hrs??

I am so proud of this! My biggest struggle now is watch time but I know it is due to lack of content to I just need to keep grinding!

After over 1 year of consistent weekly uploads, I've reached 1,000 subscribers. I just want to thank @Alexa Saarenoja for starting this group when she did. I was lucky enough to find her channel way back before she was monetized and was inspired to take the plunge into YouTube because of something she said. I believe that with persistence and patience, it is possible to grow your channel and find your audience. Although I am on the slow growth path, I'm building my channel in a way that feels authentic to me. Thank you--especially to the people who were with me in that first cohort of this group. So many of you were instrumental at that time. You shared your perspective and expertise and you helped me to have the audacity to think I could do this. I will always be grateful for that. 💚
