Bringing Clarity to the Direction of your Channel when it's Confusing and Ineffective
Your channel feels like it's at a standstill. It's stuck in a rut. You put out high quality content, but just doesn't seem to be enough. One video may do really well on the first few days but the views go down really fast too. A particular series of videos may gain a lot of views and subscribers, but the other videos don't get the same attention. Are you going the right direction with your channel? What about when you're torn between the direction you want to go with your channel and the direction that seems to be earning the most growth? Yes, you could do this thing and grow the channel, but you don't really want to do that thing. You have a broader vision for it than just this one thing that's getting traction. Which direction should you take? How can they have steady growth while also exploring other topics and other strategies? Or maybe you're still trying to figure out what direction to take. Since you're not sure what to do, you publish new videos inconsistently and never really sure if what you're doing is worth your time. Such good questions. Today we want to address this issue so you can move forward confidently with a direction for your channel. CREATOR SPOTLIGHT: Carolyn was working hard on her YouTube channel and grew it to about $100 per month, but no matter what she did, she wasn't seeing much success beyond that. So she did a consultation with Lennon and went through our course, "30 Days to a Better YouTube Channel." After she started implementing the things she learned, within only 3 videos later YouTube was paying for her mortgage.

Want More Subscribers? Focus on These Things Instead [Ep. #237]
As a creator who wants to grow your channel into something that brings joy into your life and really serves your viewers well, you obviously want more subscribers. But is subscribers the thing we should really be focusing on? What happens when we don't hit the number? What happens when you hit the number of subscribers, but your videos still aren't getting many views? So many times we put our focus and energy into things that we have no control over, and subscribers and views are usually two of those things. If we're constantly measuring our success on something that is out out of our control, when we don't hit that mark, we feel like a failure in our pursuits. If we DO hit that mark without having measurable points along the way, we realize that the reward isn't as great as we thought it would be. We believe that it's important to not only have goals and pursuits, but measurable ones that allow you to see your progress unfold along the way, so you can sustain the long game of building your YouTube channel into a business that thrives and changes your life, and the lives of others. Today we've got 5 MEASURABLE things that you have a LOT more control over when it comes to creating growth, and we'll also talk about how you can make each of these things measurable, so you KNOW you're making progress in the right way.
