Part 4/8:
As week two approached, I felt I was catching my stride. I refined my approach and developed a routine. Yet, a sobering realization dawned on me: just posting videos wasn't enough. I needed to engage with the audience actively. This is when I delved into SEO, keywords, and the seemingly mystical YouTube algorithm, experimenting with titles and descriptions.
By mid-week, my efforts began to bear fruit as I received my first comments—simple affirmations, but heartfelt nonetheless. It dawned on me that YouTube is not merely about numbers; it's about making connections with real people. I began conceptualizing content that resonated with my genuine interests, moving away from the trap of solely chasing views. By the end of this period, I had gained 33 new subscribers and 2,900 unique viewers.
