Beyond the Numbers

Hey Creators,

Let's talk about something that's been on my mind lately: the obsession with view counts. We live in a world where numbers seem to rule everything, but when it comes to content creation, the story is much deeper than that.

Mike Bolton, a respected figure in the creator community, once said, "I think every view on YouTube counts for a lot more (in terms of impact)...especially if a majority of people are watching the entire video."

This resonated with me deeply, especially when I looked at the ‘Social Dream Machine’ stats for the past month:

• 299 views: It's easy to get caught up in the desire for bigger numbers. But let's remember, each view represents a real person who chose to spend their precious time with our content.

• 16 professional videos: That's a testament to the quality and effort we put into each piece. We're not chasing trends; we're building a library of valuable content that will stand the test of time.

The truth is, "time under attention" is the real metric that matters. Are we creating content that truly resonates with our audience, content that they find so valuable that they stick around to the very end?

I'd like to challenge all of us to shift our focus away from the vanity metrics and towards the impact we're making. Let's celebrate the connections we're building, the conversations we're sparking, and the lives we're touching, even if it's on a smaller scale.

I remember when I first started creating content, I was so fixated on getting thousands of views. But then I received an email from a viewer who shared how one of my videos had helped them overcome a personal challenge. That single message meant more to me than any view count ever could.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic. Have you ever experienced the power of low views, high impact? What are some strategies you use to measure the true value of your content? Feel free to reply to this email.

Your email won't be overlooked; I read them all.

I'm always looking for ways to create more impactful content. If there are any topics you'd like to see explored in future videos or articles, please let me know!

Remember, every piece of content you create has the potential to make a difference. Keep creating, keep shining, and never underestimate the power of your voice.
