After pouring my energy into this entire process, I anticipated an immediate surge in views and subscriptions. However, the results were underwhelming. I analyzed my content's performance and found that my top three shorts garnered 12,000, 5,000, and 1,000 views, respectively.

As for the long videos, they hardly generated any engagement at all. Frustration mounted as I realized I was far from achieving the required views and watch time needed for monetization—a goal that increasingly felt out of reach.
