I'm curious where is everybody in their Goal Destination. It's been 10 months since I started my "Money Making Thing " Made 1K from it so far, and Grateful.

I've been seeing a shift recently in the content that is performing well on YouTube. This content is being produced by what is known as "The New Wave" of creators. Content that is story driven and is a much slower pace. The motivation doesn't come from views, subs or viewer retention. The motivation is to just create a video that is authentic. Here is a video I made explaining this change - https://youtu.be/NDCuamDIeVk?si=f9tfzwkYverRNBH6 Have you noticed this change?

I managed to up my audience retention quite a lot. But, I now realize that's quite useless if I don't even get people to click. Here's the thing... video 1 - 67 impressions, 26 views, 14.9% click-through rate video 2 - 1.5k impressions, 21 views, 1% click-through rate I used Hamza's name on the 2nd one, and it did indeed give me more impressions, but it seems a lot of people didn't actually click through. On the 1st one, the content inside is worth the watch for sure yet it seems it isn't even getting pushed to enough people. How exactly does impression work? how do I increase impressions and Click-Through rates? Any and all suggestions would be quite helpful, thank you! video 1: It makes no sense... - YouTube video 2: HAMZA... - YouTube

I have so many learnings, insights, documents that I don't even know, where to look for what. How to solve this thing? Using Obsidian, Notion will help?

Hooks, essentially set the mood for the whole video it seems. That being the case, I figured I'd pack it to the brim with value and then tell my story. But then a problem arose... If I've already put the "micro-moment" in the 1st 30 seconds of the video, What's the point of the rest of the video? Why should my audience even bother watching the rest of it? - This resulted in a huge drop in audience retention after the hook. But then, When I tried putting the story first, It then gave a sense of a lack of intention and direction. Of course, this could just be my lack of experience but I want to know about what guys who've done well on YouTube think. What's the correct answer? Or is it about a priority rather than a correct answer? Please, Let me know.
