Finding the right track sometimes takes longer than editing the actual scene.
Do you use a specific library, save music as you find it, or just search whenever you need something?
Would you immediately make another video on the same topic, try to turn those viewers into subscribers, start selling something, or just enjoy the moment?
For creators who've already had a video blow up, what did you actually do afterward, and did it help your channel keep growing?
A great video can sit there with barely any views if the title and thumbnail don't make people click. At the same time, a strong thumbnail can get someone to click once, but the video still has to keep them watching. Where do you think creators should put more effort?
I've seen creators surprise their subscribers with gifts, memberships, or even something from the chat. Have you ever done something like that for one of your subscribers? What did you buy them?
