You upload. You wait. Nothing happens.
Imagine this...
You spend 4 hours making one video.
You edit it. You design a thumbnail. You write the title. You upload it.
Now you wait.
10 views.
20 views.
35 views.
Next morning...
Still 35 views.
Now your mind starts asking questions.
Maybe my thumbnail is bad. Maybe my niche is wrong. Maybe YouTube does not push small creators. Maybe my channel is dead.
But what if the real problem is different?
