First off, I love Think Media videos. They’ve been so helpful to me and my journey. Tip for you that I’ve started doing on my own channel, extend your closing frame. I can’t tell you how many times I want to watch the video you’re recommending, but I’m listening to my phone on a stand in my office and by the time I get to my phone to click on the video that you’re recommending, it’s gone. Thanks for all you do! ❤

To the person who is reading this, don't give up on your channel. Keep going, Its going to be better. 💯

Absolutely true about the topic! I’ve made some “million view” videos that only get a few thousand views. Meanwhile, some of my least edited videos have gone viral getting millions of views. Topic, title and thumbnail are king for CTR.

Beautifully explained and presented! You covered everything logically in a step by step manner! Thanks for this helpful reminder and I would love it if you kept reminding us about these fundamental core pillars from time to time. I'd watch it as a touch stone for my journey and growing channel.

This makes total sense now. Thanks again Think Media. Always coming through with the gems 💎

[TheBureauAsia]

I noticed "enjoyable" and "satisfied" get used interchangeably in this video, which one should I aim for? My idea of enjoyable is a fluff piece with plenty of positivity, whereas satisfaction for me may come in the form of something hard hitting with a lot of negativity and serious themes e.g. a war doco

[BlueChipAdvance]

Let’s keep pushing one another. Don’t give up on this channel

[LowkeyBreCollects]

Y’all been on 10 with the YouTube advice!! Thank you!! ❤️🔥
