Growth Note: As I work this challenge, I find myself needing to update and fine tune my notes and my workbooks. So I took the time to note all of the thumbnails and titles of the challenge for my upcoming challenge days. The previous days were done as I started each challenge day. I found it encouraging to see all the thumbnails with titles at once, so I printed those for quick manual reference. I still learn through hard copy sometimes. I already have the challenge link in my daily calendar and in my YT Biz Bookmark Tab. Now with that done, I feel an advancement in organization and I can move on to studying and applying this challenge day... Now for This Day: I like how Alexa suggests asking open ended questions for this lesson. I do that often, but haven't done this as much on my past YouTube videos. That is going to change from this point forward. These are major steps of success to the after-video publishing process. This will be added to my "checklist/cheatsheet" once I finish creating it, which will be ongoing throughout this entire challenge. So, Day 13 is Done✅, as you can see in my attached notes! But even more work will be done because I have added this to my video posting steps. Phew! This is a lot of work! A full-time job even! I am up for it and ready!!!👊🏾 Side Info: -Current Niche: Teaching Gift Basket Biz Startups -Pivoted from: Recovery from Narcissistic Abuse 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 r @Deb D @Laura Niebauer @Cat PInegar @Virgil Rucker

This day took longer and has a lot more notes. Definitely a lot more than 10 minutes.😅 Great exercise and used ChatGPT to help and refine. I'm getting better at using ChatGPT each day and using the audio to prompt it. ChatGPT really helps when I describe myself, My current channel, how I want to pivot and question it. Onward to Day 4.

Hihi I have been thinking of hire and editor to help me with my editing... I want to edit my self as much as possible but then I am just able to post 2 video per month so I need an editor to make 1 to 2 videos per month at the start. I have been watching videos how to hire editor and started, put ad on upwork but always... canceled... and been little affaraid to take the step :) Is any of you using editor that you have good relationships with that might be interested in some extra editing :) This picture is a perfect sample of my typical video timeline :)

For all of you that might have missed this on my channel. The "30 Day Grow Your YouTube Channel Challenge" via the Creator Breakthrough Series is now convienently located inside this community. There is also a workbook associated with it, linked to every lesson. Check it out here

Hi everyone, I know this might sound like a simple question, but I’m still seeing quite a few YouTube videos claiming that you need 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours to qualify for monetization. Just to confirm with the community — as of 2026, the updated requirements are 500 subscribers and 3,000 public watch hours within the last 12 months (or 3 million Shorts views in 90 days). It’s great to see YouTube making monetization more accessible for smaller creators, and I wanted to double‑check this with fellow creators here to ensure we’re all on the same page. Cheers everyone, Alex (TBFALEX)
