So I did it, started the new channel I've been wanting to do for ten months. After so much procrastination and a lot of fear and self doubt, I made a video, it's short and a bit rough, but real, It took me 3 days to find the courage to upload it. I've had a really tough week and now feeling a bit worried that I won't have the energy to do my second video and keep up the momentum, which I think is probably needed in the beginning. I've been afraid to tell anyone until now., but it's been such a crap day in many ways, I thought well, what have I got to lose!!! Anyway if anyone wants to see it and lmk what you think it's here... man it's a scary business!

And you’re invited❣️ Come for the hour or part of - you’re welcome to pop in and say hi and share what you’ve been up to with your channel OR why you haven’t posted recently if that’s the case too🙌

Fascinating (long) VIDIQ chat with the lovely Gabe. Loads of great insights and advice for new/small creators. Lordy he’s only 30yrs old but been Youtubing for 7yrs or so. A good watch.

Posting for those who wanted to know when my Antarctica video will be available. It will premiere tomorrow, 3/29 @ 8am PDT (3pm UK). Since travel isn't my niche, this is not an 'everything you need to know about Antarctica video', but a reflection about how we let fear keep us from doing what we really want to do (with a lot of Antarctica's magic as the B-Roll). If you watch, I would appreciate your feedback. TIA. https://youtu.be/J6gXuEhSJ84?si=jg1gy2wEb1l7WYGw

Wanted to ask what you do? TBH I actively avoid A/B bc when I tried it once - for my first video back from my hiatus - and it bombed and took DAYS to push out the other versions which cost time. So now on every video I post I check signs of performance and switch out after 12hrs (being mindful of where words could drop off on mobile: which is where most of my viewers are watching, using Thumbs.TV). Consulting VidIQs AI Coach in the process has been super-helpful. That has worked for me with my current video and the results are ‘crazy’ for me , almost hitting 1k views (Best on any of my LF this year so far + a bunch of really moving comments!). That said I also worked my ass off on the storytelling, and it seems to be paying off. Sharing first one on the Left (title was In My 50s I Banished 6 Bad Habits) and Current One on the right. And I’d really love to know what is working you right now, in your niche?
