My First Two Weeks as a Content Creator

In this post, I share the highs and lows of my first two weeks as a YouTube content creator. From struggling with thumbnails to improving audio quality 🎬

Content Creator's Log, Stardate: 2024.10.21. The mission to grow a YouTube channel continues... no sign of views, but the journey goes on.

The first few weeks were tough. My first video took way longer than expected.

I had to learn how to make thumbnails 🎨, and I didn't realize it was something that required so much time.

The audio in my videos still sounds pretty bad, especially the first one, which is over 20 minutes long 🎧.

Recently, for my fourth video, I learned how to clean up the audio with Audacity 🎙️.

Now, it sounds a lot better—normalizing, reducing the echo, and boosting the volume in Kdenlive because it was too quiet.

As comrade Anatoly Dyatlov would say: Not great, not terrible 💬.

There's still room for improvement, though.

The channel's analytics 📊 are really poor. I knew it was going to be hard, but not this hard.

At this rate, I'll reach monetization by the time I retire 😅.

My last video about localStorage was seen by 2 people, and one of them was me 😂.

I'll try to do better for my next video.

As many YouTubers like @ruriohama say, nobody's going to watch your first videos, but I'm going to keep improving and making more content 💪🎥.
