Greeting Karen & community! Happy New Year!! Proud to share a small win. I paused my channel in the summer, to rethink, do some learning and rest. Managed to post for the first time in about 6months in NYEve! Would love to know your thoughts

I have the basic paid subscription to Vid IQ and I use it to give me basic guidance when uploading videos. To help remind me to use end cards etc. and to score my title, thumbnail and description. I was digging around in there last night and asked it for 'optimisation' help on videos on my channel and saw a lot of videos with titles that scored low (like 44/100 or 60/100). If you use Vid IQ and haven't nosied around into it much like I hadn't, it was good to float back over old videos before I had Vid IQ and swap out titles (video below is showing you how it works). I only picked titles that were true for my video and - being old videos it doesn't matter that much but while watching the new Knives Out movie it was the perfect computer job to tootle around with. Do you use either free or paid Vid IQ much and if so, what do you use it for? Signed, Major Underuser of VidIQ.

Hi! I am Carol from Florida, US. I am rebranding my channel to better focus my niche and content pillars. My focus is helping midlife women pivot their careers and navigate life transitions by creating their future self through mindset shifts and building practices, routines, and systems that make sustainable change possible. I'm thinking that my channel is a funnel for my community and coaching practice and monetization is not a priority. ☀️

Hello everyone. Over the past 4 days I've had a video that has begun to pick up a lot of views, almost 1300 the last I looked. I'm curious what to expect if anyone has had similar experiences? Does it flatline for awhile while YT figures stuff out and resurge or does it continue to get pushed out more and more? A friend that I know had a video go viral (it did get her monetized) about 8 months ago and mentioned that her's did not pick up momentum until day 26. What I have noticed since this interest in the video, is that my other videos have begun to surge as well. Any thoughts, tips, etc?
