Since I joined this group the day before I actually launched my channel it seems appropriate to share this here and to thank @Alexa Saarenoja for all of her encouragement and insights in the early days of my channel. Subscribers are only one metric of a channel, but I am pretty excited at hitting 30,000 subscribers. Especially since I started my channel at 80 years old and I only do this part time, with a total of 61 videos and six of them are shorts. Actually, I am more excited about the comments and the shares. The shares, especially indicate word-of-mouth which there is no way you could buy this advertising. It is the secret sauce of a channel’s growth.

1st youtube video. I think I'm over-thinking it! Would love your thoughts! Title: “How I’m Selling Like Crazy in 2025 Without Ads or a Big Audience” I could change it to: The Secret to How I’m Selling Like Crazy in 2025 Without Ads or a Big Audience” (but feels long)

I am from Ontario, Canada. Just joined this community today and looking forward to learn more about youtube growth.

Hi! Quick question (sorry if it’s an obvious one). I’d like to create a video series. I understand that at the end of one video, the “call to action” is to have viewers click the link in the end card to go to the next video. However, what do you do if you haven’t uploaded the next video yet? I know I can link it to the playlist and eventually the next video will be there, but in the meantime, do I lose credibility with the people who have watched until the end? Right now, my ideas include the following: - Make a note in the description that the video is coming soon. - Use YouTube studio to temporarily cut the end of the video where I tell people to click the link. (Is this even possible? 🤷‍♀️) - Just relax, no one is watching until the end anyway. 😅 Thanks in advance!

Good morning, guys, I'm looking to publish this video over the weekend. Your perspective and choice will help a lot :) TITLE: Can I Lease an EV and Then Buy It Out? Note: I am still editing these Thanks in advance.
