Always a mystery all the numbers! I like watching them grow! When I started being serious about YT in December, my CTR was in the 1% area. Today, between 3.2 and 5.2%! That is saying something! The retention at 30 seconds in December averaged 35%. Today's average on the last 5 videos right at 50%, again the numbers are going in the right direction! The AVD was actually better in December than today's mini analysis! Like I said always a mystery! I don't mind looking at them, they are not my driving force! I want to increase my CTR for sure. That is getting my thumbnails and titles to align better. Practice. And I would like to increase the retention rate across my videos. Make videos more interesting throughout. With determination, grit and a desire to get better, it will happen. You all will be able to say, I knew her when. And I will reply, you helped be get here! On to Day 21. @Jenny Sharratt @Dr. Saundra Stancil @Cat PInegar @Eddi Pinegar

I needed a change of scenery to get this done so I went to a public library. I hope to record this video and have it posted by Friday. Thanks again for the faith and encouragement @Jaye Brunner @Dr. Saundra Stancil @Eddi Pinegar @Adam Tinkoff @Dajana K. @Ricardo Solomons @Cat PInegar

And here it is😁! My second video on the Resurrection Gift Basket design I created​ (14min59sec). I had a design flaw! I left out a major part of the design and showed one way to fix it in this video. Yes, I know, my thumbnail needs improvement and I did not follow the script I learned. I just wanted to get this done for today, Resurrection Sunday✝️❤️. Because done is better than none. The full creation video is still being edited. I will not rush the editing on that one and it will get published. Onward to the next video with 1% improvement. Even though I verified this channel, YT still required additional verification. That took forever, but I don't care. I am glad. (I watched @Cat PInegar's first video, and immediately calmed down🙌🏾.) I still have to unlock more features in the YT Studio but that will come naturally with more videos published. I'm on my way!!! It feels exhilarating!

Over the last 30 days, I’ve shown up… and that alone feels like a win. When I started this challenge, I wasn’t sure what would happen — I just knew I needed to stop thinking about it and start doing it. And now here we are, 30 days later. In these 30 days: • I’ve gained over 60 new subscribers • My Shorts brought in over 10,000 views just last week • And I’ve had over 200 comments and reactions in that same time That might not sound huge to some people… but to me, it’s proof that something is working. I’m still not at 100 subscribers. I haven’t had a “big” video yet. But I can feel the foundation being built. I’m learning how to speak more clearly. I’m getting more comfortable on camera. I’m starting to understand what people connect with. And maybe the biggest thing… I didn’t quit this time. That alone is different. This challenge showed me that growth doesn’t come from one viral moment — it comes from showing up, refining, adjusting, and staying with it. So thank you to everyone in this group. Your support, feedback, and energy has helped more than you probably realize. This is just the beginning. Now we keep going @Cat PInegar @Dr. Saundra Stancil @Jenny Sharratt @Jaye Brunner @Dajana K.

Alright... I posted my first video today. If you would be so kind as to take a look at it, try it out and let me know what you think, I would be very appreciative. Thank you in advance for your support. @Eddi Pinegar @Dr. Saundra Stancil @Jaye Brunner @Jenny Sharratt @Dajana K. @Neil Dasgupta ➡️ Click here for Video
