He is the first one of the intensive program to get monetized! Woohoo took just 8 weeks of working together to get him there! Matt has been awesome, testing different topics and styles of filming and finally found his sweet spot! He had a plan to give YouTube a year to start making money and when he didn't hit that goal he reached out and joined this program. I'm so freaking proud of him. He always has the best attitude and literally pours everything into his videos and editing them. So so so awesome! The first day of making money was Dec. 24th from ad sense. How timely is that?! :) Merry Christmas from YT. :) Just another exampe of how sticking with it and testing different strategies will get you there!!! Woohooo!!! And to encourage you all some more, I believe he is in a very unique niche - silver pouring. Anyone with a passion (and a market for that passion) can succeed! Bring it 2025 - we are ready!! @Silver Punk

How many times do you record your video? I am making my first video to launch my channel and I keep recording it over and over because I am not happy with it. Should I just post something I am not happy with or keep recording until I am? I am a perfectionist and am wondering if I will ever be able to meet my own expectations.

I’ve been using CapCut but I’m hearing that Final Cut Pro is way better. But I don’t have a MacBook…. I literally just bought a laptop (not a MacBook) did I make a mistake?

I found Alexa a few weeks ago when I was considering starting my own youtube channel. Since then, I've watched all of her new content and posted several of my own. I'm grateful for the opportunity to participate with this community and look forward to the future!!

Hi again. I'm interested in learning how everyone is staying organized, specifically around video planning / topics and/or a content calendar. I have my own but I'm not in love with it and am open to suggestion. I see some creators use Notion but I've not experimented with it. Here's what mine looks like, I just use Google Sheets. If anyone is eager to share, I'd love to take a look at what you use.
