Consistency Wins! Hey everyone! Quick update on the YT journey, I'm now at almost 50 subscribers (47 to be exact)! Small milestone, big celebration, and a clear sign the foundational work is connecting. My biggest progress this week has been tightening my messaging and niche focus. I feel like I'm finally hitting my stride with content that truly resonates with the right audience. The Power of Planning The real secret to maintaining consistency? Content planning. I’ve deliberately turned content creation into a strong, reliable muscle that gets used often. This structured approach allows me to consistently deliver content, which is key to growth. Algorithm Acknowledgment Why does consistency matter so much? • The more frequently I post, the more the YouTube algorithm trusts me as an active creator. • This trust results in my videos being recommended more often to new viewers. Consistency unlocks visibility! Looking forward to hitting that 100-sub milestone next! Shameless plug- If you haven’t checked out my channel, here it is. https://www.youtube.com/@CoachBustos?sub_confirmation=1 If you like my content, don’t forget to like and subscribe :) Excited to read everyone else’s progress updates!
