      Literally anyone can do this especially today, it’s just intimidating because usually people are so worried ab sounding as good as the big artists. It’s also hard to learn everything, but nothing good in life is easy. Truth is you can make something even better than like drake in your bedroom with just a mic and a laptop, stay grinding and never stop learning bro ! You got it

      @hugo 🇲🇽 people tend to click off of a video at the end if there are a lot of video plugs and buttons, especially if there's no talking. So you can gain a few seconds of watch time (ratio wise) by cutting your ending short or integrating the conclusion into those buttons.
