The fastest way to become frustrated as a creator is to judge every video by views.
The fastest way to improve is to judge every video by whether it achieved its objective.
Agree or disagree?
One of the biggest mistakes content creators make:
They judge every video by views.
A video gets low views?
"That video failed."
A video gets high views?
"That video succeeded."
This mindset is costing creators more than they realize.
Let me tell you how...
TL;DR:
• Views measure attention
• Attention is not the goal
• Every video has a different job
• Different jobs require different metrics
• Success = achieving the intended outcome
• Stop measuring views alone
• Start measuring whether the content did its job
