  How I went from 2 digits views to going to my dream destination

  From a very young age I had a dream to visit the Alps but the money was short but my grind wasn’t. As a kid social media was the only way I could have an easy access since my country had restrictions with child labour.

  I spent 18 months studying the algorithms, obsessions over editing and the learning gurus available online attending those sessions. But the end result was 200 view per video and then silence hits no growth.

  One day was alone sitting and evaluating what had gone wrong, all those hours of effort and input all in vain. I stopped what I was doing took a break and restarted. I explored what was booming in my niche, what formats kept showing up, what topics were gaining traction before they peaked, what the algorithm was clearly pushing right now versus three months ago.

  I used a tool called SocialHunt to do most of this without losing my entire day to scrolling. Also started using vidIQ for the YouTube side. Found a smaller tool called Tikmatics that tracks format and audio trends on TikTok before they go mainstream, barely anyone talks about it but the timing edge is real.

  Once I stopped guessing and started modeling what was actually working, everything changed.
  First video using this approach hit 34K views. I cried. Not even embarrassed about it. I actually cried.
  Within two months I had four videos cross 100K. Brands started reaching out. Got my first paid deal, $400 to mention a product. Felt like winning the lottery. Reinvested it immediately into understanding what was working even better.

  Six months later I'm at $8K a month. Mix of brand deals and a digital guide I sell to people who want to learn the same system. Didn't think anyone would buy it. Sold 200 copies the first month at $25 each. Finally I succeeded my childhood dream of visiting the Alps and cherishing my small victory.

  So if you are in that seat of realisations drop down your niches. Happy to help
