Are your beautiful craft tutorials disappearing into the YouTube void after just 48 hours? You're not alone! The "two-day view window" frustrates many creative entrepreneurs when starting their channels.

YouTube needs proof your content keeps viewers engaged before recommending it widely. But don't worry - I've helped crafters go from zero to 50,000+ views in their first year!

Here's your 3-step action plan to breakthrough:

• Create bingeable content series: Plan 5 connected videos that lead viewers from one to the next. This signals YouTube who your perfect audience is!
• Fix your first 30 seconds: Start with your most interesting technique or the finished piece. Save the supply list for later. One jewelry maker increased watch time 65% with this simple change!
• Use budget-friendly equipment hacks: Position a ring light directly above your crafting space. Record in small spaces with soft furnishings for better audio. Sound quality matters more than video resolution!

Remember, success builds gradually. Even small improvements to your retention rate can trigger the algorithm to recommend your content to more potential customers.
