I just want to take a moment to express my gratitude. A huge shoutout to one of my subscribers, Mr. Michael Knudsen. He left a wonderful comment on one of my videos, and it truly made my day. As someone who has recently started my YouTube journey, receiving encouraging feedback like this means the world to me. So, Michael—thank you! Now, let’s talk about progress. In my last newsletter, I mentioned Mr. Beast’s famous advice: “You start gaining traction after posting 100 videos.” I’m only on...

Today marks Day 12 of my YouTube journey. I saw a Mr. Beast video recently, and his words hit hard: "Your first video won't get views. Your first 10 won’t either. So stop overthinking and just start. You think your videos are good, but they suck. The sooner you learn how to make great videos, the sooner you’ll get views." That’s the reality. I’ve uploaded 12 videos so far, but I know nothing big will happen until I post my 100th. Until then, I’m focused on learning. Here are some key lessons...

Lately, more and more creators are expanding to YouTube. If you’re thinking about starting a channel, here are a few things I’ve learned firsthand. I’m currently on Day 8 of my 30-day YouTube challenge. Here are four things to keep in mind before you dive in: 1. Stick to One Niche I post visual poetry on YouTube. For a week, I focused on love poems. Then I thought, "Maybe my audience wants something different?" So, I switched things up and wrote about a different topic. Big mistake. That...

Here's something you should know about me. I used to be a people pleaser. I used to avoid conflicts and keep my opinions to myself. I believed keeping the peace meant sacrificing my own voice. But something always felt off. Over time, I realized: Sacrificing self-respect to make others happy isn’t worth it. Standing up for yourself is not a crime. Only insecure people are uncomfortable with your boundaries. Most people hate it when you say no. “I’m sorry, I can’t make it.” “I’m sorry, I’m...

Tomorrow, I’m officially back on X, and I couldn’t be more excited! I’ve spent my time off experimenting with different types of content. Now, I have an idea of how I want to show up. I can’t wait to start posting again and share everything I’ve been working on. But that’s not all… During this break, I also launched a YouTube channel where I share something close to my heart—video-form poetry. If you love poetry, storytelling, or creative expression, you might enjoy this new side of my work....

In just two days, my suspension on X will be over. But I haven’t been idle during my break. Here’s what I’ve been working on: 1. Mastering Viral Threads I’ve been deep-diving into the art of writing viral threads : analyzing top creators spotting patterns experimenting with different styles. Once I’m back, I’ll be testing everything I’ve learned. 2. Expanding to YouTube I’ve noticed creators like Sean Canela and Stijn Noorman successfully redirecting traffic from Twitter to YouTube. It’s a...

A few days ago, I faced a frustrating reality check. My 12-hour suspension on X ended, and I was ready to get back to posting. But as soon as I did, I got hit with another restriction—this time, I couldn’t post or follow anyone for the next three days. It was a wake-up call. We talk a lot about authority and audience-building, but there’s one truth we can’t ignore: what X giveth, X can taketh away. That’s why I’ve decided to expand my presence beyond X. Since I already write on Medium, I’m...

I’m smiling as I write this. Last year, I attended a family function, and if your family is anything like mine, you know what that means. The nosy aunt. The judgmental uncle. The cousins who pretend to be friendly but talk behind your back. I felt trapped. Uncomfortable. Counting the minutes until I could leave. The moment I got home, I turned to writing. I opened my laptop and poured my emotions into a poem titled A Family Affair. It took me 15 minutes, but it felt like a release—a way to...

It’s been a week, and I still haven’t heard from Twitter support. So, I did what any determined person would do. I started a new account. And guess what happened? I got locked out of that one too. Temporary suspension for 12 hours. I've no idea why this keeps happening. Once the suspension is over, I plan to lay low for a few days. Stay in stealth mode. See if they suspend me again. If they don’t, I’ll restart posting. But this time, I have a plan. No more writing 100 comments a day just to...
