From 290 to 1844 subs in 30 days.

This is a huge win for me and I just wanted to share it with the community! Hopefully it can be helpful if you are not seeing any traction for months, just know it can happen really quickly. I literally posted a month ago an intro post in this community and I had 290 subs then. Then one video got over 20K views, I got monetized, got 5 sponsorship requests and it all kind of happened within 2-3 weeks.

My niche is AI for solopreneurs, so granted its on the rise, but I agree with

@Harut Martirosyan

100%, it think its less the niche, but much more the fact that I am obsessed with the topic and I would make videos even if no one was watching and that's kept me going.

My takeaways:

I committed to 1 video a week, because I quickly realized I had to learn so many new skills from scratch, this is what I could do in the time I had. I am happy I did, cause the learning curve was steep. When I got more comfortable and familiar with the whole process I started doing 2 videos per week and the week when that video went viral-ish I posted 2 long form and 1 short. My goal is to do 3 per week from mid-august.
I use Descript (+ its AI features) for editing and it's a lifesaver. I don't re-record, over edit and it takes me minutes to cut out all the pauses, uhmms, gaps, retakes etc It's very intuitive and it let's you edit the video as text, which I love. If I had to spend hours editing I would never have stayed consistent.
My motto was to become just 1% better with each video on every level, better structure, hook, edits etc. - I had to let my inner perfectionist die slowly and hit publish.
I learned from Alexa's video about the channel keywords (had no idea!) and added that, as well as added end-frames to all videos.
I add Timestamps to most of the videos in the video descriptions (not sure how to measure this, but the 20Kvideo had them and I think it helps with discoverability as it enriches SEO of the description?)
I research keywords with VidIQ + Chatgpt Deep Research feature (now experimenting with ChatGPT Agent)
I included a Lead Magnet in almost every video (even when I didn't have any views) and now I have over 500 subs on my newsletter and around a 100 people on a waitlist for my Skool Community. I am so happy I spent time on setting those things up in advance.

Thank you

@Alexa Saarenoja

and everyone in this community - I couldn't have done it without it!

Wishing everyone to never never stop when you don't see any traction and if you believe in your mission and you enjoy the process (even if it feels cringe) - keep going and getting traction is inevitable. 🫶
