suspension ends in 2 days


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 smart move—monetizing on multiple platforms while building an engaged audience.

As a Medium writer, I already repurpose my poems into Instagram reels and posts.

Now, I’m taking it a step further by turning them into YouTube videos.

3. The 30-Day YouTube Challenge

I’ve committed to posting one video every day for the next 30 days.

The goal?

Warm up the algorithm and boost visibility.

It’s a challenge, but I’m all in.

4. Learning Video Editing

Editing a one-minute video took me an hour.

The patience required is unreal, and I have a newfound respect for video editors.

But like anything, it gets easier with practice.

At the core of it all, I just love storytelling.

Whether through writing or video, I thrive on creative challenges.

Excited to be back soon.

Stay tuned!

Ann.

Hooks with questions or relatable problems attract more people. Niche hashtags matter. Not bad for just three weeks, right? But more than the numbers, it’s been a massive learning...

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...
