Frequently Asked Questions
What Does It Mean to Be Data-Driven?
Being data-driven means you make decisions based on data. Instead of using your intuition or personal experience.
Your data (YouTube analytics) is how you learn what your viewers like. Instead of guessing, let your viewers cast their vote with their actions. You count the votes by interpreting the data. Intuition is important, but you need data to confirm that your intuition is correct.
To blow up on Youtube... you need to please the algorithm. And to please a data-driven algorithm, you have to be data-driven yourself.
