Hey All - Unfortunately I am under the weather today, but I didn't want to leave you hanging without something to think about. So I recorded this video discussing Search vs Browse to follow up on the video I posted here a few days ago. If you have any questions, feel free to ask below. Have a great Valentine's Day weekend.💝 In Finland it's called "Friend's Day" and everyone celebrates their friendships. So hyvää ystävänpäivää (happy friend day) to you!

If you want to know more behind the scenes of my youtube journey. Here is a recent podcast interview with @Lisa Begley from our community. Thank you for the beautiful conversation Lisa! xo

Over the last 28 days, my YouTube channel reached 74,113 views, far above the usual performance. 72.913 more views. One single video alone generated more than 25,000 views, becoming the clear growth driver. In total, the channel achieved 155 hours of watch time, showing strong audience retention. Now I have to produce Long-form Videos to get more watch-time. This performance also resulted in 31 new subscribers, a growth of +288% compared to the previous period. Especially in the last 48 hours, momentum accelerated with over 29,000 views. The data shows that emotional and relevant topics resonate most with viewers. YouTube’s algorithm has started testing the content with a broader audience. The focus now is consistency and building on what already works.

Any favorite (hands-off) tools for turning long form YouTube videos to short form Shorts and Reels without needing much editing on my part (like Descript requires). Bonus: if it will publish the clips for me to the different platforms. I've used Quso, and didn't love the clips or the customizing, but willing to go back if it's the only option.

Hey Everyone - the live call will now start a half hour later this year. Check the Calendar tab of the community to learn more. It will still be on Thursdays. We start this week! Let's make 2026🔥! xo, Alexa
