Owning the audience

The step from small money to a steady $1K a month is about owning the audience, not chasing the next viral post.

• Email list: every page and video points to one free thing worth signing up for.
• Distribution: push every new video to the places you already have followers, with copy written for each place.
• Thumbnails and titles: test them on click-through; replace dead ones, A/B test climbing ones.
• Formats: a scoreboard moves slots toward what works. Sometimes plain text cards beat video on a platform; follow the data.
• Display ads come last, when traffic is steady enough to qualify.
