Day 26 RETENTION

We went into retention, I’ve never really looked at this before in a real way. I would just make a video, post it, and move on. But actually seeing where people drop off matters .

On my last video I lost about 60% of viewers in the first 40 seconds. This is actually the feedback we’ve been needing the whole time.

It’s not that people don’t like the content…It’s that we’re losing them before they even get into it.

What’s also really interesting is doing this at the very beginning of my channel and being able to watch how everything is growing in real time. It feels like I’m learning this stuff while the foundation is still being built, which is actually pretty cool.

I’m also running three different types of playlists right now — cooking, philosophy, and meditation — so it’s going to be interesting to see how each one performs and what changes I’ll need to make for each. I’m starting to see that they might all need slightly different approaches to keep people watching.

Today helped me understand that the first 15 seconds really matter. Not in a complicated way… just in a “get to the point, show something interesting, and give people a reason to stay” kind of way.

Also realizing that pacing matters way more than I thought.Less explaining… more showing.Less warming up… more getting into it.

I’m not trying to go back and fix everything I’ve already done — that’s where it can get overwhelming. I’m just taking this and applying it to the next video.

One small improvement at a time.

Kind of like yoga… you don’t force the whole practice to be perfect on day one. You just show up, stay aware, and make small adjustments. Over time it starts to flow.

That’s how I’m looking at this now.

Appreciate everyone in here — we’re all figuring it out together.
