Don’t miss Karen’s video that dropped today. It’s excellent. Full of personality and great info. Very helpful.

Today for the first time YouTube offered me the option of A/B testing. I chose to test titles but not thumbnails. Next time I may make different thumbnails to test. Have any of you tried this option? What feedback did you get?

Just found a brand-new YouTuber channel that went viral on its first video about early retirement in your early 50s to regain health and passion. The creator already posted a thoughtful follow-up in their Community tab — really interesting to watch this unfold. https://youtube.com/@waynephipps-over50reset?si=4_PwlAeRVxId8BeQ

I'm hitting 4 weeks now, with a new long form video coming out this weekend. This will be the longest time for me I think and while it's not ideal, I am OK with it. I've been wrestling with a couple of script outline-y thingy's for this and the next video and been tempted to just roll with an outline I had a couple weeks ago but then changed my mind. I've not yet filmed a video I wasn't 100% onboard with so why start now? And of course been enjoying doing group lives so that always fills my cup. What's your longest time without posting any videos and why? PS. Pinched this wall art idea from seeing this video from Peter McKinnon when he was visiting the Epidemic Sound studios! I made it in Canva - let me know if you want a copy and I'll drop it in here.

Hi, creators❣️ Have you checked your stats lately and by what percentage have your viewers increased? Based on “Audience by watch behavior” metrics (YouTube Studio), my monthly audience has increased as follows: • New Viewers - 94.1% (First Time) • Casual Viewers - 5.0% (Up to 5 months over the past year) • Regular Viewers - 1.0% (6 or more months over the past year) Keep those new viewers coming in, y’all. They are vital to the potential growth of our subs and watch hours. These metrics have helped me learn more about my viewing audience. Here’s hoping that you are seeing an increase, no matter how small. 😍
