Most YouTube advice focuses on going viral. Here's what I'd tell a creator starting today:
1- Your first videos are practice. Use them to find your voice and your audience.
2- Watch retention before views. Where viewers leave tells you more than the view count.
3- Titles and thumbnails decide whether people click. Test them before you publish.
4-Expect a slow stretch. Flat views in the early months are normal, so plan for them.
5- Review analytics after every upload. Progress comes from learning, not only from uploading.
I help creators find the packaging and audience problems behind flat views, so the next video has a real chance. What's your channel's biggest challenge right now?

A little preview of what I've been working on! 🎬⚽
My upcoming documentary explores one of the greatest rivalries in sports history — Real Madrid vs FC Barcelona.
I'm producing this project entirely on my own, combining storytelling, archival footage, motion graphics, video editing and sound design.
This is just the beginning of the story.
Always open to new creative projects and collaborations!

Cool! I’ve worked a lot on sports events as an EVS LSM operator.
UGC ads usually mean finding a creator, sending a brief, waiting a week, then paying per video. I wanted to see how much of that an n8n workflow could handle.
The video in this post was not filmed. It was generated end to end by a workflow I built.
How it works:
I drop in a product, a short brief and a target audience
An LLM writes the UGC-style script with a hook, the body and a call to action
Veo generates the video in a natural, creator-style look
The workflow publishes it to TikTok, Reels and Shorts [and schedules it for the best time]
So the whole path from brief to published video runs without me touching an editor.
What I learned:
The prompt matters more than the model. Specific lighting, camera and tone details made the difference between “obvious AI” and “believable creator”.
Hooks decide everything. I generate several hooks per product and test them.
Always label AI-generated content where the platform requires it. It’s the right thing to do and it avoids trouble later.
If you run a brand, an e-commerce store or an agency and want a steady stream of short-form content without the cost of manual production, I build these workflows. Message me and I’ll show you how it would work for your product.
Would you trust an AI-generated UGC ad for your brand? Curious where people stand on this.
