The first ten seconds
More viewers are won or lost there than anywhere else in the video.
You can't control the algorithm. You can control the first ten seconds, and that's most of the game.
Creators usually blame reach when the problem is retention. If most viewers leave in the first fifteen seconds, no amount of posting frequency or hashtag strategy will fix it.
So we start there: the hook, the promise, the first cut. Then we work on the rhythm, because the second most common failure is burning out after six weeks of an unsustainable schedule.
We won't promise numbers. What we promise is specific feedback on every video, an honest read of your analytics, and a process that makes the next one better than the last.

Publishing weekly for a year beats daily for a month.
Retention graphs tell you what worked. Feelings about the algorithm don't.
