The videos I put my heart into get no engagement...

But the low effort ones? The ones where I didn't like the finished results but uploaded anyways cause it's already done? My biggest videos by an absolute landslide. And it's happened several times. Even in niche topics I didn't SEO.

My favorite videos: 40-100 hours of work. Struggles to reach 50 views, almost no engagement.

The ones I'm embarrassed of: 5-20 hours of work. 4-5 digit views and tons of positive comments.

And that's how I stopped worrying about making the perfect video and settled for "good enough" so I don't get burnt out and have some left over energy to start the next one.
