This video went from a 10/10 to 1/10 and I did absolutely NOTHING to it after posting. ⁣

Before I started employing a new strategy, I would have freaked out 4 hours after posting because the vid was 10/10. I would have scrambled to change titles, thumbnails, revisited at 24 hours, just to change the title and thumb again... ⁣

Possibly cycling out of an actual working thumbnails and title combination.⁣

𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞... I researched my titles and thumbs effectively using my "VidCheck" framework and trusted YouTube would find the audience. ⁣

Be careful with your mental health when it comes to YouTube, the analytics they feed us is largely useless. ⁣
