Dear Fastlane Members:
Recently, I spent 24 waking hours making an experimental video. It was my first attempt at voiceover and visual comedy. It was a painstaking process to splice together clips that matched with the audio tracks.
When was finally published, I was hit with utter disappointment. It didn't take off as I expected. Less than 3% of people clicked on the video and 85% of viewers abandoned the video after the first minute. With poor metrics like that, it had no chance of getting recommend. After looking at the analytics, it wasn't as great as I thought it would be.
I'll embrace the humility and admit that it was my ego dictating that it was going to be a hit. There is no need for a link to the video unless a member here asks for it. An atrocity like that isn't worth self-promoting
However, I ask seasoned members here. How do you shake off the opportunity cost of making a bad decision? The 24 waking hours could've been put into making safer videos that had a track record of being hits. It could've also been put towards fitness, well-being, and so on.
Granted, I could go to my psychologist or Google it, but I also find value in gathering insights from multiple users who have been in the field.
