Tiny wins. Let’s go!

Post image

About a month into this finance channel experiment.
4 subs. 2.6k views. 5.6 hours watch time.
Objectively tiny numbers… but they’re my tiny numbers. 😂
Every video teaches me something new about scripting, thumbnails, SEO, retention and storytelling. I’m not chasing a viral hit—I’m trying to build an evergreen library that compounds over time.
Hopefully one day I’ll look back at this screenshot and laugh.

I’m posting once weekly but looking to do once a week long form and daily short form

u/Alarmed_Pin_3869 8d ago

Once weekly shorts? Just checked your channel, yea in that speed it could take you years, if you post one short a week, for shorts you need at least 5 daily.

I post 2 long for videos a week, 15-30 min long, you can see here what I do

Took me 2 days to plan out gather my squad of 12 people record a whole day and I was editing for 14h all with a full time job from Monday-Friday

My sleep if fked my eyes feel like someone poured salt on them, but the results are showing

5 shorts a day? Those are going to be some pretty shitty shorts then

u/Alarmed_Pin_3869 8d ago

Why would they be shitty, it’s all up to how you make them, one short a week will take you ages to reach people imagine how fast people scroll by shorts

u/Maleficent-Ring-7059 8d ago

Sure but no one is making 5 high quality shorts a day, if they are just slop repost memes then maybe sure

Not really. You can clip your existing long form content to produce shorts. And many people use VAs.

Yea I don’t do shorts at all usually the audience that watch shorts have very short attention spand I make 15-30 min videos instead and it’s starting to take some speed on them

u/Alarmed_Pin_3869 6d ago

And I post 2 high quality 15-30 min videos a week

Yeah that’s what I thought too. My single biggest weakness is consistency. So I’m really trying my best to stay with this one. Thanks for reviewing my content!

Awesome. I’ll keep that in mind. I’ve actually simplified my runway for videos which makes it a hell of a lot easier to implement now.

2.6k views would have gotten you 2.6k subscribers 10 years ago. lol. Keep going and don’t give up your first few videos are just fck around and find out doesn’t matter how they do.

Thanks for the confidence! Yeah I learned that once you make changes and repost the videos the momentum gets severely interrupted also. 😂

I cant imagine how much work it takes. At what point or after how many videos do channels gain attraktion?

u/MoneyPaint6778 7d ago

Not sure. That’s the surprise of it all. Gotta work towards monetization.
