⚠️ My Trigger Finger

In partnership with

Back in 2019, I was typing YouTube scripts at my desk… all I wanted to do was grow on YouTube.

When I posted a new video, I would watch it like a hawk, changing the thumbnails and titles when the video seemed to be stalling, even for a second.

But then I learned something new within the last year…

Check out this screenshot…

I’ll explain after the ad…

The screenshot above shows what can happen when you trust the process.

I had to turn off my trigger finger.

A few days ago, I posted this video and waited… and waited… and waited…

This is what it looked like after 24 hours…

If you notice, after the first 24 hours, the video sucked.

And the “old” me would have changed the packaging (thumbnails and title) 10 times and stressed myself out, wondering why it wasn’t working.

Today, I did proper research for the thumb and title and was confident in the video and packaging.

So I let it ride…

It took almost 48 hours, but I left it alone, and now the video is starting to surge.

The main takeaway here is to study what works in your market and trust your packaging.

If I were starting fresh, start a new channel and commit to make 10 videos following a “recipe”

Don’t believe the hype from YouTube gurus; you need to let YouTube max out the packaging before you change it and destroy your chances of going viral.
