Episode notes
Enjoyment Trumps Vanity Metrics
- Enjoyment in creation sustains long-term YouTube work and beats short-term metric chasing.
- If a format succeeds, loving it positions you to capitalize sustainably when it grows.
Don't Overfixate On Video Category
- Leave the YouTube category on the obvious choice (e.g., Gaming) and focus elsewhere.
- YouTube mostly finds audiences despite your category choice, so prioritize storytelling and community.
Persist Through Shorts Volatility
- Expect volatile Shorts performance and keep publishing rather than obsessing over early results.
- Treat early impressions as noisy; build many Shorts and learn storytelling and editing instead.
