๐จ OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT ๐จ This human just unlocked a new achievement level and the confetti budget has been absolutely blown.
Eggplant-atious status achieved!!!! EEEEEEP ..and now this! With a new channel and having to learn SOOOO MUCH - of all the advice I've heard, the one that sticks with me the most is "aim at just a 1% improvement each time to create content." So with that in mind and stepping into the territory of Shorts for the first time, I asked VidIQ to assess my channel and then trending videos on my niche from other sources to come up with some ideas for Shorts. It came up with a demographic in my target audience I hadn't thought of before! ๐My niche is relationships - specifically marriage. ๐ฐโโ๏ธThen niching down further - married christian women (because that's been me for 35 years - so - that's my own frame of lived experience etc). ๐โโ๏ธThen niching down once more - married christian women who are going through a significant challenge in their marriage - (again - my own lived experience from my husband's ex-military career that culminated in him having a massive breakdown, PTSD diagnosis, and discharge from Army on medical grounds) to position myself (and my Skool Community) as a Marriage Mentor & Coach. The "one problem" focus? Navigating hard conversations without imploding. VidIQ pitched me some ideas for some Shorts that showed me a potential gap I can fill. The "newlyweds" - home from the honeymoon, gifts put away, wedding dress carefully stored - then the first fight happens ๐คฏ Of course they "know" conflict is a normal part of married life - but knowing - and then it happening - can be a whole different story. Thanks VidIQ!! For those in the community experimenting with different tools - this example is simply the point of this post. Keep experimenting. Keep iterating. There's hidden treasure to discover that you hadn't thought of yet!! ๐
