    Virginia, I’d like more information regarding something you vaguely mentioned during your challenge that I think is important: Why should we avoid promoting our video in other platforms right after uploading it?
    I usually promote mine on Facebook but I keep thinking about your comment and wonder why you reached that conclusion…
    By the way, I have been applying your tips and advices and recently one of my videos got almost 30K views (for the first time ever and mostly thanks to implementing your advice). Thanks and God bless you!

    • @ThisIsVirginiaKerr
      @ThisIsVirginiaKerr  2 дня назад +3

      Hi there! That’s great to hear! If you don’t give the algorithm time to find your audience on its own a wave of people from another platform may prevent it from finding your audience on RUclips. Also if you promote to people who aren’t your ideal people they won’t watch the whole thing. It’s best to wait a few days and then promote it

    Many thanks for your very informative video 👍. I don't even give the viewers an intro! Will have to rectify that for a start. I've got six main videos (first few were rather shaky, but I've since worked out that turning on the stabilisation does wonders duh ) plus a few shorts. I'm assuming that viewers get bored, and that's why some don't watch the video to the end. Difficult to know what to do for the best, as the whole point of my videos is to show my journeys out and about on my mobility scooter. Are they running too fast, do I cut out the travel to/from my destination, do I include info about the area, do I add AI voiceover because I've no voice, etc., etc., are all questions that I write down to ponder over. My little grey cells are working overtime thinking about which is the best way forward! I guess that once I and many other creators find the 'magic' solution, then creating YT videos will become easier - well, I most certainly hope it does 😂

    Hi Virginia
    Im a subscriber from across the pond in the UK.
    I'm 60 and started to upload to RUclips about 18 months ago. My RUclips channel is about travel, where I vlog and review places that I have been to, on my own, with my wife and with my family.
    I'm pleased overall with some of my viewing numbers and have had some really lovely comments, but I'm reaching out as I'm struggling to reach that 1000 subscriber target that I set myself. I'm not particularly interested in monetisation as my channel, as well as trying to inspire and help others, is a documented travel record for me as a legacy for my family.
    I had a set back about 3 months ago after returning from the States, as I had a bad accident at home and spent a month in hospital but I am ready to go again 😊
    Any advice or tips or feedback you can give would be greatly appreciated
    Really enjoying your work. Thank you

    This video was so good. I enjoy your videos because they aren't the same things you hear over and over on other channels. I had my channel take off a couple months ago for a second and now I feel like I'm back in youtube jail. I think I went backwards instead of progressing because I started over thinking everything. I feel like there's something I'm missing with my channel, but I can't figure out what it is. Maybe I'm just boring. 😂

    • @ThisIsVirginiaKerr
      @ThisIsVirginiaKerr  2 дня назад +1

      Hey! You're not boring. In your most viewed videos you are starting off telling people what you are discussing and what you want to help people with. Those are stronger intros than your recent videos. In your second highest viewed video, you have a compelling "coming up" graphic that grabs attention and then you get right to what you want to talk about when you walk in with the plant. I would test leaving out the yellow graphic with your profile picture on your videos and use the coming up text with clips of the video in your intro. Study what you did in the most viewed videos to get clues for the future one. 😊
