Hello there, Nice to see your content you are really doing well❤.

Hi Friend, I hope you are well. Your videos are really nice But I noticed that your channel is not growing according to the quality of your videos. I audited your channel and got some issues. 01. Views Issue 02. SEO Score only 0% 03. No Video High volume ranked tags 04. No Channel tags 05. Keywords in title 0% 06. Performance 0% 07. End screens Low SEO is the most important of any CZcams Channel ( SEO meaning = Search Engine Optimization )l. if you Solve this problem and Best SEO Score to rank your video then your channel will grow organically very fast.
Timely upload. This is what I've been struggling with in my UX journey right now. Almost done with my certificate course and imposter syndrome is hitting hard.
Tell that Imposter syndrome to kick rocks! You got this!
this really helped, thank you!
I'm so glad! Let me know if you need anything else!
Ngl, that 6:50 minutes guilty as charged.
SO MUCH SAME
Thank you, both of you. I'm looking to transition to UX myself and this video (and whole series) is very helpful to see what might be expected out of me as I work on refining my first case study.
You are going to crush it! Let me know if you want any feedback (you don't have to do the whole review process if you just have some questions while you're working through it!)
@@maigen What are your thoughts on linking directly to a Google Slides presentation of the case study (29 slides) rather than translating that info into a webpage to scroll down? Is that viable? I've only really seen one portfolio that's done that... I find it easier to think in slides for some reason.
Love everything you shared! Thank YOU so much! These is beyond helpful and I truly appreciate you taking the time. ❤
I'm so happy it was helpful!
I want to have Spaghetti O's for lunch...how do I make this happen?
Set the goal and make it happen!
@@maigen If only it were that simple...sure, I've got Spaghetti O's but they're all the way in the kitchen, they've got a pull tab but you have to pull on it really hard and then there's the whole spoon issue. Plus it's a long time until lunch tomorrow, it just seems like a dream that will never come true. 🥲
I love these reviews, the feedback and questions are sooo spot on :) currently tidying up my portfolio with these in mind, thank you so much
She’s a pretty gal ❤
I am smiling from ear to ear still watching this! Thank you for the incredible feedback and sharing some awesome new tech with us!

Super helpful thank you!
I agree about the annotations. I've also recently started adding them so it's more obvious why I'm showing these screenshots. However, I personally would never show the screenshots at a 45° angle as it distracts from the design in my opinion. Thanks for the videos.
Depending on the image, that also creates a potential accessibility issue! Good catch!
Go Maigen! 🎉
Go Maigen 👏
Exciting initiative! I can see a lot of value in this, for all parties involved 👍
Great project, where do I sign up?
As an investor? Or as a tech bootcamp graduate?

I will open applications in a couple of months! I have my first cohort filled already.
this is Mike my premium YT account is tied to my old old email, lol. This is so exciting!
🎉
Dashboard designer here! There’s a lot to include in your case study that can show your skills: 1). Break it down by widgets (why did you include certain infographics and what is the data it is showing) and did it accurately show the results? What is the challenge/feedback/problem and how is the graph a solution? 2. Is this a SaaS device? Curious to see how it connects with the data? 3. If you are a UI designer, how did you decide on the infographics? Are the components based on a grid size? Are they responsive?
These are FANTASTIC questions!
Thank you so much for your review! I will follow your advice; there is still much to grow! ✨🚀
You are very honest and genuine with your reviews. I've learnt a ton from this video. Thank you
I'm so glad! Let me know if you have any specific questions - I'm happy to help!
@@maigen hi Maigen, thanks for your reply. I actually have questions regarding my research presentation. Is it okay to message you directly on LinkedIn?
Absolutely! @@gookanga
