(00:00) I was surprised to find out that only 2% of LinkedIn users have ever published an article on the platform. In this video, I’m going to share with you the ultimate strategy for LinkedIn content marketing. Hi, I’m Chris and I’ve been using LinkedIn LinkedIn since LinkedIn started being LinkedIn to generate leads for my business, and I’ve taught thousands of entrepreneurs how to do the same.
(00:23) The best part about LinkedIn is that there are 800 million users and many of them are actively looking for exactly what you have to offer. And today I’m going to show you how to use content marketing on LinkedIn so that you can get more followers, get more connections, find more prospects, and ultimately get more clients to grow your business.
(00:43) There are many different types of content that you can create on the LinkedIn platform. These include posts, text only posts, image only posts, native video, live video articles, newsletters, carousel posts, and more. And the ultimate strategy for LinkedIn content marketing is to know what kind of content to use where so that your perfect prospects receive it and step out of the shadows wanting to work with you.
(01:09) And as we get into this, I have a question for you. What type of content do you typically create on LinkedIn? Do you always create posts? Are you always uploading videos? Let me know in the comments below your favorite type of content to create on LinkedIn. Let’s start with LinkedIn posts. Linkedin relies on people like you to create content and have a steady flow of information on the platform to keep other people coming onto the social site and staying there to consume the content.
(01:37) It’s important to remember that LinkedIn posts have a shelf life. They’re going to go by in people’s news feeds and they might only see them for a short period of time. So we want to share content that also has a shelf life. This might be news or a quick tip or a trick, some sort of industry information, or maybe you want to teach something very quickly.
(01:57) It could also be used for updates things that are happening to you in your business or in your life as it relates to your business. All of these things work very well in posts. Each of these is going to serve a very specific purpose. The picture plus text is going to stop people while they’re scrolling because they see the picture and then they’re going to read the text.
(02:17) I recommend keeping text only posts very short so that people see just a few words and they read them without having the picture to capture their attention. And then an image only post that has very little text should make a big impact on the viewer so that they’re scrolling and it just makes them stop in their tracks and see what that picture is about.
(02:38) Next up, we have LinkedIn articles. I was surprised to find out that only zero 2% of LinkedIn users have ever published an article on the platform. Yet LinkedIn articles are one of the most powerful ways to create content on LinkedIn. You can think of a LinkedIn article as like a blog post, something that is more long form, more indepth, and that goes deep into a subject.
(03:02) Linkedin articles are a great way to demonstrate your expertise and your authority, as well as build trust with your audience. My favorite thing about LinkedIn articles is that they are indexed within LinkedIn Search, so people that are not connected with you can find this content when they’re searching for it.
(03:20) And Google will also index LinkedIn articles. So your articles, much like your blog posts, will appear inside of Google Search, as well as an additional bonus, if you’ve designated yourself a LinkedIn creator, you can take your LinkedIn articles and turn them into newsletters. This means that all of your followers, all of your connections can subscribe to your LinkedIn articles, and every time you publish a new one, they get an alert and they get that article delivered right to their newsfeed.
(03:49) I publish a LinkedIn article as a newsletter once a week where I share more information like this. If you’d like to get access to that, you can Google my name and you’ll find LinkedIn right at the top. Or you can find me on LinkedIn and make a connection with me, and I’ll make sure that you get access to that newsletter.
(04:05) Let’s talk about native video on LinkedIn. Here’s what I mean by native video. This is where you’re actually uploading a video to the platform. Native video is not sharing a link to a video that exists somewhere else, like on YouTube. You’re actually uploading a video into LinkedIn. Linkedin has become the Goto platform for entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and other professionals to showcase their skills, demonstrate their expertise and their authority in what they do, and video is the perfect way to do that.
(04:36) Using video on LinkedIn is a captivating, intriguing, and magnetic way to get your perfect prospect to engage with you and your content. Moreover, they’ll get to know you because they’re seeing you and they’re hearing you talk about what you do. Loading a video directly to LinkedIn will allow it to play right inside of the news feed.
(04:58) That’s so important because as people are browsing through the platform, they’ll be able to click and play without having to leave LinkedIn. And that’s very important to remember. You can create many different types of videos, from introduction videos to teaching videos like this one, or videos where you showcase your services and perhaps even show a testimonial from one of your clients.
(05:19) One of the most underused types of content on LinkedIn is the Carousel post. In fact, most people don’t even know it exists. In a Carousel post, you upload a PDF or a presentation like from PowerPoint, and users are able to go through the slides right inside the post. The possibilities with carousel posts are practically endless.
(05:42) You can showcase a list you can upload a presentation from a talk that you gave. You can teach something in multiple steps. There are so many different things you can use with carousel posts and all you have to do is upload a PDF or a PowerPoint presentation into one of your posts. I’d like to teach you a STEPBYSTEP process for getting more clients from LinkedIn posts.
(06:07) So that’s the very next training that I’m going to make. Once I make it, I’m going to put the link to that right here. In the meantime, you can subscribe to this channel so that you get notifications. Every time I create a video like this about getting new clients into your business. I’ll see you in the very next training. Bye.

(00:00) – Let’s talk about editing. (singing) Editing, editing, editing! Let’s talk about editing. (mouse clicks) Hi, thanks for coming to my channel, where I teach people guitar things that wanna learn about guitar. If this video helps, please make sure to hit, no! This guy is a brand new creator. Let’s call him John Scott.
(00:25) Now, John here started a channel. He had a video idea and most importantly, he hit record, but John has one problem. He’s boring. Hey! More importantly, his videos are boring, but he’s about to change all that. I am? In the next few minutes, John’s audience will go from watching 3% of his videos to 60% of his videos, which it’s a pretty big number for him because he’s so boring! The first thing John needs to do is focus on something that we’ve talked a lot about here at vidIQ, but it’s my version of it.
(01:02) Can you guess what it is? (screen whooshing dramatically) – Don’t you dare make this a fishing hook! (screen whooshing) All right, then. – Now, a hook is super important, but a hook gets made in the writing process. But this video is about editing. (singing) Editing, editing, editing! Guys! Let’s talk about something I call visual hooks.
(01:27) You know how when you hover over videos on YouTube, it’ll start playing the video without audio? Consider that moment the opportunity for a visual hook. For example, the beginning of this video, the visual hook was a barbershop quartet all harmonizing with each other while the written hook was about how John Scott got viewers to.
(01:43) Oh my God, John! There are all kinds of ways to do visual hooks and all the best creators use them. Sometimes, creators can even get big enough to where their face becomes a visual hook in itself. Now, let’s take a look and see how John applied what he learned about visual hooks. (guitar playing) (mouse clicking) (guitar playing) Groovy.
(02:21) Let’s learn how to play it. Groovy indeed. John used his backyard, a scene change, some creative camera angles, and even a little lens flare to give his intro some pizzaz. He even did it without going over the top. Visual hooks don’t always need to be flashy. They just need to catch the eye and keep attention.
(02:40) Besides, John’s video is about guitar education, so it’s not like a Mr. Beast style intro would work here. I’m gonna teach you how to play this chord progression and if you can figure it out before this timer gets to zero, then you’ll have learned something new! (dramatic whooshing) Visual hooks.
(02:59) All right, next. (mouse clicking) Okay, so you put your index finger on all the four frets, on all the strings on the fourth fret. Stop! (sighs) John, I would hate to be a beginner guitar player. Why? Because this is the moment that I would quit. No offense. None taken? The next thing John needs to know about is simple cuts.
(03:30) specifically two types of cuts. I am saying something and now, I’m saying something else. What the camera did right there, that was a cut-in and this is a cut-back or a cut-out. I like to say cut back because it’s like you cut back to where you just were, you know? Okay. These two little cuts can help emphasize a point, create momentum, and most importantly, keep the viewers’ attention.
(03:59) There are a bunch of other different types of cuts, which I’ll go into in another video, but for now, just to keep things fresh, cut-in, cut-back. Simple cuts out of the way. Now, we’re onto simple moves. When you involve motion, that’s when things get real not boring. This is a push in. This is a pull out.
(04:21) This is a pan. This is a zoom. These ain’t your grandfather’s camera movements! Technology is wonderful, and even if we didn’t move the camera when we were recording, we can animate it when we’re editing. You see this little handheld movement I got going on here? Ain’t nobody holding that camera.
(04:44) So now that we’ve learned about some simple cuts in motion, let’s take a look and see how John has made it work for him. So it starts with a bar on the fourth fret while muting the top string with your index finger like so. Then use your ring finger to hammer on the sixth fret of the D string and your middle finger to hammer on the fifth fret of the B string.
(05:01) This shot right here brings me to my next point. It’s really important for John intermingle different types of footage so the viewer doesn’t have to struggle with seeing his face so much. Since John’s video is more of a hands-on tutorial, most of his footage would be considered A-roll or primary footage.
(05:20) It’s the content that carries the message of the video. But what about B-roll, you ask? Or is there a C-roll or E-roll or T-roll? (soft dramatic music) Well, it kind of depends on the video type. See, the video you’re watching right now is more of a educational entertainment type, so B-roll works really well in these types of videos.
(05:41) I could be explaining how when it comes to content creation, there are so many ways to express yourself and make your mark on YouTube. The world is your oyster! All that footage right there, that was B-roll. B-roll is footage used to add depth and keep the audience engaged by breaking up the monotony of the A-roll.
(05:59) But keep in mind, there’s no need to overcomplicate it. If it doesn’t fit, don’t use it. But if it does fit, take the opportunity to mix up your footage so it keeps your viewers interested. So, now that we’ve learned all these things, let’s check in on John and see how he’s doing. (soft upbeat guitar music) John? Okay, well, maybe he’s out celebrating all that new watch time.
(06:23) I don’t know. Speaking of which, the last video that I did for vidIQ, I implemented all these tips and it killed and I would love it if you would go check it out and comment when you see something that I’ve mentioned here. Be like, “Hey, John, I see what you did there. I saw what you did. I know the things that you know.
(06:42) I know these things that you know. I do these things that you do. I learned these things from you and now I do them in my video.” Thief! (door closing)

(06:58) when you do that you can see that there’s several different options that you have you have caption and suggested image you have caption my image now caption and suggested image is when you don’t have the image but you do know what you want to write about okay so if you know what you want the post to be about but you don’t have an image for it but you do want an image this is what you do and the AI will not only write the image for you but will also give you an image to match that the next one is
(07:30) caption my image so that is when you have a photo that you already want to use maybe you took photos of an event maybe you took photos of dinner or food or friends or sunsets or a selfie or or something else your family kids whatever it is You’ got caption my image and so that’s when you want it you’re going to describe the image of what that image is and what you want the caption to be about you do not ever put put your image in for it to look at it you only tell it what the image is about so it’s of your
(08:07) kids you could say the images of of my three kids um if it’s a food the dinner I made tonight just describe the image and then it will write a great post for you next is caption my video caption my video is when you have a video maybe you have a real a Tik Tok a YouTube video something that you want to create create a video you’ve made a video and you want the AI to write a caption for it now again you do not put your video into the system for it to read you’re only describing your video and writing out
(08:42) what it is that you want so maybe it’s a video of you playing in the park with your kids maybe it’s a video of an event you’ve done maybe it’s a real maybe it’s a Facebook live that you’re going to download and post somewhere else whatever it is you’ll put your video in there and then you’re going to say what you want the caption to be about now LA and remember this does not give you a video either this is when you have your own video already then you’re going to go to short text only posts short text
(09:12) only post is what do you want the post to be about you’re just gonna it’s not going to give you a um it’s not going to give you a photo or an image it’s just a short text now this is really great when you want to start conversations very quickly on Facebook hey I’m going to be in anybody in the Salt Lake Area hey what what are you guys doing for dinner hey I need dinner ideas tacos or burritos hey going on vacation can anybody help with suggestions very quick way to start conversations in the chat so in those
(09:48) comments because remember it’s the comments that you want to create conversation in so you can take that and go over to messenger and message the person and continue the conversation through Messenger and then as you continue that conversation through Messenger of course you want to move it to a phone call FaceTime Zoom something like that where you’re actually having a real live conversation okay right here is long post and suggested image this should have just been called the Elizabeth button because
(10:22) like Adrian Adrian Chanel’s nickname for me is war in peace because I love a lot of words everything I write it’s along the trainings I do it has a lot of value to it so I love the long post with suggested image this is great when you want to do like tips or showcase yourself as an expert uh write a blog things like that so long post with suggested image could be things like give me three tips in living more in peace three tips of building better on social media three tips on uh great vacation planning you know whatever it
(10:57) is you want those tips to be about last but not least is the surprise me button that’s what we actually showcased yesterday so the surprise me button you use that when you’re not inspired you woke up and you’re like I am not inspired to do anything and that’s okay you know everybody has days like that but the thing of it is is that on those days that you that you’re not inspired you’re more than likely probably not posting on social media on those days which means you’re not consistent and consistency is
(11:29) King in everything consistency in the way we show up on social media consistency in our relationships consistency in the our dmos or daily method of operation all of those are important so when we do when we don’t feel inspired we don’t know what we want to write about any of that we’re going to click the surprise me button and with the surprise me button you are going to get an amazing post just like we did yesterday and we showcased some of those as well so today I’m going to do a short Texton
(12:03) post and it’s going to be hey I am going to be in Salt Lake this weekend what do you [Music] recommend that I do while I am out there okay of course my nails are making it too much for me to tight okay so I want something to the effect of that and I’m going to Showcase what that would be like so if you’re going on vacation and you just want some quick suggestions you want some quick things you could do something like this and you would get a recommendation of what that is and I actually misspelled that so that’s okay
(12:54) I’m sure the AI is going to catch that for me so when you click G generate what it’s going to ultimately end up doing is it will go through everything you’ve already put in there it’s going to go through your posts it’s going to go through all of that so it’s going to do all of that for you and then it’s going to make a great post so this one uton bound reminds me of when I first started traveling to various Landscapes to gather experience that grow as a person can’t wait to discover more about Salt
(13:23) Lake City fellow Nomads what your must do list in Salt Lake City looking forward to your recommendation now if that is too long for you I want you to showcas see this right here this is your editor and you can actually fix spelling and grammar you can make it shorter you can make it longer you can change the tone you can change the language let’s see what happens when we make it shorter so let’s make it shorter and then we’re going to regenerate now REM look and see right here your post may appear slightly
(13:55) different that when published that’s new there right right heading to Utah this weekend excited to explore Salt Lake City fellow Travelers any must do suggestions for Salt Lake City now I want you to come over here to Instagram this is going to be different it’s going to be a little bit longer and just it and it’s going to be wrote for the Instagram audience your LinkedIn is going to be a little bit different and X again a little bit different from there it’s right the AI is writing for your actual things okay for your um for the

(15:47) you see pictures of Jordan atler with a giant B of sushi right or clothes or Cali Tea Garden or uh people getting married or hey that’s my sister in-law it’s her 30day anniversary I’m going to have to reach out to her okay so so what I recommend if you’re going to do a short text only post is to do one with the colors on the back of Facebook if possible because you will get more traction with this than you will with the plane okay so there’s today’s demo we’ve got five minutes to

(23:56) long post oh okay yeah that makes more sense with the three things you know what question I I I almost might have asked at the end just because it might have been fun to find out I might what do you like about planks that’s a great question but I almost think I would have added at the end of that what do you like about planks or if you do don’t do planks why not oh yeah that’s a good one thank you I’ll do that I can change that because if somebody doesn’t like planks they they won’t comment on your post and
(24:29) you won’t start conversations with them but if somebody doesn’t like planks and you put say or if you don’t do them why not and then you’re like uh well I would write okay I know they’re really great for me and I know I should do them but gosh it’s just so hard to start out or something like that and then you end up with a conversation being able to help somebody that may actually go off to messenger and to a phone call or a zoom or something that’s good idea now that I I do have uh I did post in the blog
(25:01) seven seven good good um what What U plate is for but we’re not supposed to put links in so I didn’t I didn’t talk about my blog what do you do about that perfect if you want to take it over to a Blog what I would personally do um if you put the com if you put the link in here it does tend to take the algorithm down it just you know and and that’s what Ray in and everything else and so many people have taught so what what I would do though is if it’s a Blog hey want to learn more click first comment
(25:37) in the link first comment the link is in the comments or uh for my blog or something like that you know something to the effect of where they could go does that make sense so so say it again it went fast want to learn more what should hey want to learn more read my you know blog of blah blah blah whatever your blogs about I don’t know what your blog’s about but read my blog on this health concept or whatever it is that you want uh you can find the link in the first comment below okay good so you could give that one a try if
(26:16) you want to get people over to the blog wonderful good thank you you’re welcome great job all right I know Ariel’s got a question and we’re going to hold that one for a minute we’re going to Showcase one more post uh K did you have a post today is it colinda colinda did you have a did you have a post or a question today uh I think they’re busy talking let’s go over to Vicky Taylor Vicky did you have a post or a question today let’s try that again hi Annie yes I’ve got a question I did a post I
(27:00) put it in the um the link in there I did a short text and I want to do a color background I don’t know what I did wrong okay so colored backgrounds it only allows you so many characters so what I would do is you have to make it even shorter than this um so what I would probably do is calling all travel enthusiasts looking for the absolute best hotel recommendations for Dubai help or something like that so I would shorten it down even more if you want to use the color thing because if you want to use color remember remember right
(27:45) here this is where the color thing is so I think Sandra asked where the color thing is when you open up Facebook here’s where the Color Picker is and I can put red I can make purple orange I can make like fun little things I did the color but for some reason when I went to put the the text and then I taken out all the Emojis I even that’s because you still have too much text there okay you have to shorten it down even more but take it down and and it’s usually something like it’s a like a short statement and a question
(28:21) and it’s really super short so just take a little bit more out go ahead and try it again but before but if it takes the color away let me see if I can grab this I don’t have my other one let me see if I can show you right here real quick um so if I come over here and I post this and if it goes like this now why is it letting me have that much length that’s weird Facebook should not be letting me have that much color so I don’t know why it is letting me do that because oh there there it goes and then the color
(28:58) goes away because I have too much stuff so if if you end up going and the color goes away just remember you have too much open it back up and then go like that and then post and then you should have your color give it a shot and then see how that works for you okay honey all right great job okay let’s go back over to Ariel because Ariel had a question that we wanted to cover today hi Ariel hi how are you today fantastic fantastic today I I am fantastic how are you fantastic too wonderful all right so let’s
(29:40) question okay um well I had two question my question number one was yesterday I was trying to find a way to uh to do to get in touch with people that are following me or people they like my my posting so I didn’t know where to go so I’m going to leave this page so when you come over to your followers you’re going to see your followers right here so if you have uh so do you see on your Facebook page you see post about followers or do you see friends a follower okay so click on followers and then you’ll see all of
(30:24) your followers down here okay and if you want to reach out to them you would just click on somebody and then you can send I don’t know why my internet’s running so slow today you can add them as friend or you can message them on their page does that make sense Ariel yes perfect great question thank you you’re welcome great question all right let’s go back on over to clinda and see if she’s ready now hia hi sorry I I have a guest with me on here today that um is interested in the company so I’ve been trying to talk to
(31:14) him about some things as well hi there nice to meet you nice to meet you so I just took him back to nowsite and I just got it up and going yesterday but I actually have made a post but this is our question we we submitted the post but it didn’t go anywhere so do I is like do I automatically get connected to Facebook or how do I get this to go to my Facebook so it’s the steps that we showed earlier where like I’ll do a surprise me right now just so and then so once it comes up you have to click the little red button down at the
(31:55) bottom get started yeah and and then if you’re downloading a photo that screen’s going to pop up from your computer that you have to click save so you download the photo and then you have to click post that little square that comes up there’s a PO there’s a square that comes up that says post you click on that once you do that if you’re on Facebook on here it will say you know the four icons at the top are Facebook Instagram LinkedIn and X okay I didn’t pick that so it’s automatically defaulted to
(32:30) Facebook okay but you you have to decide whether it’s going to go to Facebook LinkedIn Instagram or X once you hit get started and post it will open up that platform as long as you are logged in so let’s go ahead right here right wow sometime I’m sorry sometimes I’m amazed with this AI does it just did something that I talked about how did it know it’s like this is so crazy so let’s read this real quick reflecting on this profound quote by Dale Carnegie inaction breeds doubt and fear action breeds
(33:12) confidence and courage it’s so true the longer we stay in in action the more fear we have about getting into action so this shows the impact that stepping out of our comfort zone has in our confidence and courage as someone who has personally worked on overcoming my own insecurities I can definitely attest to this truth this is fabulous okay so the very first thing colinda is we’re going to come over here and we’re going to click get started when I do that it’s gonna pop up this um this thing that
(33:40) says post to Facebook yeah and then I’m going to go ahead and just download the photo anyways and I’m going to click right here to post do you see the post right here yep I did that part okay now it opens over to Facebook okay I didn’t this part didn’t happen Okay so it should have opened up Facebook if it doesn’t for any reason you’re gonna go ahead and just go open up a browser to Facebook manually you know like you normally would if you weren’t even playing with your AI the way you went to
(34:16) Facebook before okay just open up Facebook and then right here where you would normally post just click on that and paste and your quote should be right in there or whatever it is that wrote that’s so you actually got to this well it it came up with this part um what do you want to say but then I didn’t know what to do with it okay so you’re just going to click in there and you’re going to paste your uh what it made for you in the AI over because you didn’t have to copy anything you don’t have to copy any
(34:50) of it because it’s automatically copied to the clipboard of your computer okay so now you just come over here and you just paste upload the photo that you want to use with it and you’re done click post and you’re done okay because I love what it created it was wonderful well go back over there and then just hit get started and work through each one of those steps and you should have your post here real quick okay can you do that real quick and I’ll stick around some questions yeah yeah absolutely oh we’re all about getting
(35:23) into action yeah okay so I have to go very slowly on no no no that’s okay you take your time what I’m going to do is I’m going to answer some other questions while you’re doing this and then we’ll come back and check on you but but go ahead and do that now while we’re all here so you work through each one of the steps because once you get the steps down this will be a lot easier it’s just those first couple of times doing it it just seems a little you know unsure and stuff but once you
(35:51) get through the steps I promise you it’ll be much much EAS that’s why I brought sarab uh on board here I’m trying to sign him up to it but he’s going to help train me fabulous fabulous the hey techy people in your life is always a great thing let me tell you so go ahead and do do the process right now I’ll answer a couple more questions and we’ll come back and see how you’re doing sounds good thank you hey you’re welcome hun all right let’s go over to Ted next hey Ted how’s it going Elizabeth hey
(36:26) everybody hi it’s great to see you hi uh just quickly um and you actually had that demonstration up on the last call where you had the you had the short um post and then underneath that was the picture so my question is as you go from Facebook to Instagram to LinkedIn and so forth it’ll give you the same picture but it’s got a if if you transfer that picture over to your computer to to download it are are those pictures different for each one of those platforms meaning the image is the same but imization the same or is the size
(37:04) everything yeah everything’s the same so it once right so all you gotta do is download that picture one time and then go to the different platforms yep cool that’s all I need right thank you you’re welcome Ted thanks for being here today and thanks for your question all right let’s go over to my friend Carl uh yeah I did the lightning round today with uh you know uh all four posts yeah but I was curious to see it said Instagram Instagram I was curious to see it actually see it so when I was done I
(37:39) went to Instagram log in and you know I couldn’t find it for some reason um you can’t find you the did you post it yeah yeah it said it was shared it was sh shared shared on the now site but when I actually went to Instagram uh I didn’t I didn’t I didn’t see it did you click create post on Instagram so if I come over here and I hit share screen and I come over here to Instagram did you actually hit create post over here on the left yeah yeah okay and when you did that did you upload the photo yep yep I’m in I’m I’m
(38:21) I’m used to the way that it works the photo goes first and then the commentary okay um but and then you clicked actual Post Yeah and then let me see let me search for you is this your post oh there it is yeah there it is but it’s just in that form what do you mean in that form well there’s no commentary I I commented on myself that’s my own comment but I didn’t see the uh the commentary I saw the saw the graphic image but it doesn’t look like you actually pasted the comment in or the uh thing in there okay so what I would
(39:00) do is do it again hit create upload the photo so if you hit create upload the photo yeah I don’t know why this is working so slow today there’s something going on with my internet so do the photo hit next okay next yes and then right here is where you have to actually copy the um the everything there so you have to right click there make sure the words are there first before you hit share and then your com and then all your commentary should be there okay all right I’ll give it a sh give it a try
(39:35) again right here while we’re on and see and then you can delete the other post uh okay give it a shot all right you got it okay love you Carl thanks all right let’s go over to Sam hey Sam hey Elizabeth hey what what’s your question today well I tagged you uh from yesterday’s post I was the last one on on yesterday’s post but I actually wanted to share one that I did this morning which is it’s a pretty amazing post give me one second here um one of my computers uh is I don’t know it’s having challenges today
(40:22) um my post I tagged you actually I tagged you a few times so you probably see a couple tags on your thing it was a gentleman um with a sign help I created a 3D version of it uh homeless gentleman it says having a goal is the first step to success one of my goals I am working towards is to help those in throws of challenging circumstances find security and stability realizing this goal involves providing housing opportunities for the homeless victims of trafficking and youth aging out of the Foster system what’s a goal that you’re striving for
(41:02) let’s chat about it in the comments I like it I like it um this this is a hard subject I know it is um and and the reason I say this the reason I say this is not that I not that I’m saying not to do this I don’t know if what’s a goal that you’re striving for is inspiration when you see a picture like this I feel like honestly I wouldn’t comment on this post because I would not want to talk about my aspirations and dreams when you’re talking about homelessness so I I actually wouldn’t
(41:41) post on it now I think this subject is important a different question may be you know because I was in the foster care system I came from all of this kind of stuff I mean as a kid this when I tell you my life what I came from to today it’s it’s dramatic so for me when I see this it’s like it seems like it should be more about a post and a conversation about how we help these people what what what we’re doing for this than it is about goals and inspiration and I think this is a really really good conversation for all of us
(42:17) of having a picture that matches the context of the type of conversation that we want to have so if we’re talking about something like you know um if we’re talking about inspiring people to think about their goals and what are the things that are most important to them and stuff like that and the focus is on them and their inspiration then you’ll want to use a photo that’s inspiring for them to think in that direction if you want to talk to people about helping the homeless problem helping the housing
(42:49) opportunities helping with that then this is a great photo for that but the combination together may not get you the results that you want in somebody talking about their dreams and aspirations because when they see that they may feel like wow I feel bad for even wanting what I want and they won’t comment on your posts at all okay I I edited a little bit I said I’m working towards um I am working towards to is to help those in throws of challenging circumstances right find and stability I I I realize that Sam but the picture
(43:25) creates an atmosphere it’s your picture like everything’s visual for us right like it’s visual like what we watch on TV and everything else what we see inspires us to an emotion that picture will inspire to a different emotion and it’s not the emotion of I’m gonna dream big about being a millionaire in now site got it I understand you know so but great picture great post I would just suggest that if that’s the post and the picture you want to use make it a conversation about how we can help this
(43:57) problem as opposed to inspiration yeah I’m adjusting it I’m also going to go back into uh our system and and re askk it a different way I love that I love that and and this is an important subject absolutely and absolutely I mean as I said you know I I I came out of that as a child so I I get let me tell you it’s close to my heart but I also know that when I see that I would I would never put my dreams on there I would never ever put my there just because of the emotion with the picture got it got it yeah I um yeah I I suffer
(44:33) from ad so sometimes uh when I do things I have to take a step back I just fixed it I’m going to work on uh adjusting it I’ve been add since third grade so I I promise all we can overcome anything including including that you know exactly what was you know you you talk about kids who age out of the foster care system Martina used to work in the foster care system and uh helped kids with that you know we have coaches that we’ve raised up who have uh dealt with foster care and stuff like that so very
(45:07) one of my passions it’s one of my passions for my real estate business yeah me too it it’s such an important thing so so Sam thank you so much for sharing your post and sorry to be a downer no I don’t no not at all I don’t think you are I think this is an important subject and I think these are the kinds of conversations that creating on social media that’s helping us be able to build the tribe with that we where we have the shared values and the things that are important to us so this is an important post important
(45:39) conversation never be sorry for that absolutely it was perfect and and it was a perfect Doorway to talk about photos matching what you want the conversation to be about so got it I’m thankful you shared I appreciate you I appreciate you Sam thanks for being here today you’re welcome all right so we are done for the day I do have a hard stop and you have got an amazing meeting next in the next five minutes so in the next five minutes Cheryl is going to take over this Zoom so you’ll want to come back to nows.

Transcript:
(00:00) For the past four years I’ve been using an incredibly simple 6-step marketing funnel to convert new leads into paying customers. This funnel is so simple and effective, and yes it has made me millions of dollars and I’m about to share the whole thing with you. So keep watching. Hey, posse, what’s up? It’s Alex coming at you this week with a video to help you capture and convert more customers in your business.
(00:31) If you’re new to the crew, welcome make sure to subscribe below and don’t forget to hit that bell to be notified when my next tutorial goes live. Now, first things first, let’s talk about what a funnel actually is because it is a word you hear a lot in the marketing world. So a funnel is simply referring to the journey a newly takes as they interact with your brand, as they move from being completely unaware of you and what you offer at the top of the funnel moving all the way to the bottom of the funnel where they hopefully become paying
(00:59) and repeat customers. And it’s the touchpoints between that make up the structure or framework of your funnel. And it goes without saying that there are a ton of different frameworks you can follow. Funnels can be simple and they can be complex with different upsells and downsell pathways and fancy segmentation and retargeting campaigns and all of that jazz.
(01:18) But that is not the type of funnel that we’re gonna talk about today. For the first four years of my business, I used a very very simple sales funnel, like I mean dead simple. And I was able to generate over a million dollars in my first year from it. And I’m literally just now starting to build out my funnels into more complex structures.
(01:35) And this leads me to the biggest misconception in marketing today that if you wanna grow, you need a fancy funnel. The number of times I’ve heard people say I need to fix my funnel, or my funnel isn’t working or I need a new funnel funnel, funnel funnel. And yes, at the end of the day while your marketing funnel is important, it’s the messaging behind the marketing that makes the biggest impact.
(01:54) So if your funnel isn’t working it’s because your messaging is falling flat. So fix that and you can have one very simple funnel that your entire business is based on because that is exactly what I did. So with that, let me show you this super simple six step funnel that has made me millions of dollars.
(02:11) So step one, traffic. The number one goal at the very top of your marketing funnel is to get attention aka more eyeballs on your stuff. We call this impressions or views in the marketing world. And then converting those views into clicks which is what we call traffic. There are many different ways that you can go about getting traffic to your content or to your website organic traffic via seo, content marketing, social media affiliate marketing, sponsored traffic, or paid ads.
(02:37) Now, if you’re thinking, oh, great I already can’t do this because I cannot afford to run ads let me stop you right there, because you do not have to run paid ads in order to use this funnel. The reality is it’s not realistic for many brands and businesses out there to run ads when they’re just starting out because many don’t have the budget to actually pay for that media right away.
(02:55) So if that’s you don’t stress, don’t worry. This funnel can still work extremely well for for you. And in the first year of my business I actually didn’t spend a single cent on paid ads. I built my business 100% organically via my social channels and YouTube videos like this one. And anytime and every time it made sense I would promote a lead magnet and drive people to my site to sign up for my email list.
(03:14) Which leads me to step number two landing page. So once you’ve got some eyeballs on your stuff it’s time to turn those lurkers into leads. Your goal is to get them to go one step further with you so you can continue to build that relationship with them and move them through your funnel. Now, it’s gonna be really rare for someone to buy from you if they literally just discovered who you are.
(03:32) So instead of asking them to buy right away you wanna get them to make what’s called a micro-commitment. And the best way to do this is to invite them to join your email list. But hey, we all know that “Join my email list” isn’t the most compelling call to action. You gotta offer them something valuable in exchange for their email address, which leads me to the next component you need in your funnel.
(03:51) Number three, a high value lead magnet. So your goal with the lead magnet is to give away something highly valuable for free. That’s why I’m drawing this as a pot of gold right here because it has got to be good. You really wanna make sure this is something that will move them closer to their desired goal and needs to solve a problem and offer next steps that invites them, yes to go deeper into the funnel and deeper with your brand.
(04:14) Now, I have an entire tutorial breaking down my lead magnet formula and I will link to that in the description box below. But just to give you a quick idea your lead magnet could be anything from a checklist a cheatsheet, a guide, a webinar a workshop, a masterclass, you name it. And of course, in order to access the lead magnet they need to input their email address which will then deliver the lead magnet to their inbox.
(04:35) And voila, you have a new lead on your email list. Now it’s time for them to drop into the next component of your funnel, which is step four indoctrination emails. So once you’ve got that fresh lead on your email list you can begin the process of nurturing them through a series of emails often referred to as indoctrination emails or welcome emails.
(04:52) Now, the purpose of these emails are to build up more desire and awareness and trust by providing valuable and relevant content. Yes, more value people. We need to give the people value. So instead of hard selling, your primary goal with these emails is to educate your prospects on who you are and why you’re uniquely qualified to help them.
(05:10) This is a great time to share who you are what you stand for, and most importantly that you understand them and their unique challenges and obstacles. And again, just like the lead magnet I have a full tutorial dedicated to breaking down my 3-step indoctrination formula. So if you wanna get more help on that step you can find a link to that in the description box below.
(05:28) Alright, now after you’ve indoctrinated your leads with some amazing, amazing welcome emails you can move them into the next step of your funnel which is step number five, sales emails. Okay, so up until now you haven’t really directly made an offer, right? But you’ve been seating the sale in your welcome emails and offering them a ton of free value education and tips to help them solve their biggest pain point.
(05:48) Now it’s time to let them know that you have something to offer them that will make solving their pain point easier, faster or better than if they were to do it all alone. And this is where sales emails come in. So I recommend sending a minimum of 6 sales emails including one to introduce your product and offer.
(06:03) One to educate on the benefits of how it can help your audience. One to showcase social proof and build authority. One to stack the value. One to overcome objections. And finally, one to convey incentive and scarcity. Now, all of these emails will have a call to action or button that will link directly back to the final part of your sales funnel where they will hopefully convert and buy from you.
(06:24) And that is step number six, a sales page. So this is where you present them with your amazing offer and turn their interest into desire. And then of course, action. Now, yes, this is the big one that most brands and businesses are focused on getting right, simply because this is the page that actually sells the product or service AKA where you finally make some money.
(06:43) And listen, there are tons and tons of sales page formulas that you can find online but over my decade of experience in the marketing world I have found this 10 step formula to be the winner time and time again. Now, this quick checklist includes 10 conversion triggers that I always look for when reviewing copy to build trust boost authority, and ignite sales.
(07:00) And you can grab your free copy of this checklist in just a second. Alright. And there you have it, A simple funnel that has made meet millions of dollars, traffic, landing page high value lead magnet, indoctrination emails, sales emails, and of course, your sales page. So if you are ready to take all of this knowledge from tactical to practical, then make sure to check out my 8-week copywriting coaching program the Copy Posse Launch Files.

(00:00) if you want to know which types of reels get the most amount of views with the least amount of work then you gotta watch this video Let’s dive into it the first type of reel to post that will get you a ton of views with barely any work at all is to repost your past top performing content it is so simple that it actually sounds stupid but listen up we actually had this post that went semi-viral about six months ago and we decided half a year later to repost the exact same content same sound same video maybe different caption and a different
(00:31) cover banner and we notice that after reposting it that post outperformed our typical content pieces so what can you learn from this well good content is good content and the thing that you should know about algorithms is that when you put content on platforms like Tick Tock and Instagram the content depreciates pretty fast kind of like a car the moment that you post it after a few days after a few weeks you’re going to get less and less views over time and that content piece will no longer resurface this is very very specific to
(01:01) algorithms like Tick Tock and Instagram and so to make the most out of the content that you put so much effort in every six months or so do an evaluation on your past top performing content pieces and see which ones you’re willing to repost so that you can test and see whether or not it will still drive growth to your account in our case this post still outperformed our typical content pieces even though it’s not necessarily a new piece of content and if anything this type of post is actually driving growth into our account
(01:31) and the best part is is that I didn’t have to do any work in order to repost it other than actually reposting it to my page and so if you are sitting on a lot of content pieces that have performed well in the past this is your encouragement to resurface those posts and see if you’re still able to squeeze as much lice out of them as you can the second type of reel to create that will get you a ton of views with barely any work is to do remixes what this means is when you see a Content Creator’s post that’s doing pretty well
(02:01) you want to hit those three dots and see if you have the ability to remix that post remixing basically means that you’re able to react to that post and so for example I saw that Erica culber created this post where she revealed the amount of money that she made on each social media platform that post alone for her did extremely well and I thought the content piece would be really valuable to my audience and so instead of recreating my own version I simply remixed it and I filmed my reaction watching this video and then I shared it
(02:31) to my audience to my surprise this posted incredibly well if anything it actually outperformed a lot of the content pieces that I usually do and the best part is is that I did not even have to create any content other than filming myself watching the video and it was the easiest content piece that I’ve ever created in my entire life other than my first tip which was reposting previous content and one of the best things about this strategy is for any content piece that you find fascinating your audience will likely find fascinating as well and
(03:04) so if you’re able to share the content that you’re enjoying with your audience while still be able to rack up the views and comments for your own account if you look at my posts we not only got tons of views but we also got tons of likes and tons of comments as well outperforming my typical content pieces and so if you notice that there’s a Content piece within your Niche that’s going viral or that’s doing really well instead of trying to recreate it for yourself or instead of trying to copy that Creator
(03:31) just simply see if that creator has the remix feature turned on and see if you can actually remix their post you’re going to be able to capitalize on their viral content and get tons of views and reach for yourself the next type of reel that can get you a lot of views with not that much effort is compilation reels what it looks like is you find a trending song A trending audio piece or an inspirational audio piece and then you basically have a ton of videos and a ton of photos that you compile to create the content it looks
(04:02) something like this and what I love about it is that you don’t have to talk you don’t have to dance you don’t really have to film yourself doing anything if you have a lot of past content videos photos and whatever that you can put together that’s already the content and all it takes is for that reel to go viral because of the audio that you used now obviously this might take a little bit of research as you go through the reels explore page and find good audio but overall these are pretty easy to
(04:29) create and Instagram has actually made it a lot easier for you by creating the reels template feature what you have to do is you go into your reels Explorer page click on that camera button so you create the reels and then hit templates you’re able to scroll an archive of trending sound sounds where you can actually have a template on how to create the video Once you click that template it will show you the exact time stamps that you can put your Clips in all you have to do is Select those clips and it’ll automatically put those within
(04:56) those timestamps and you’re going to have a fully created content piece I’ve done these myself and they have done extremely well and they are so simple to create so if you want to save time and also get a lot of views then make sure you take advantage of the reels template feature moving on to the next type of reel that’s extremely easy to create is green screen reels what this looks like is you want to go into your archive and look at any quote post or Carousel posts that performed really well in the past
(05:25) and then what you’re going to want to do is when you create your reel you’re going to want to select the green screen button so that you can create content like this where maybe you are reading off past performing content that was in a carousel format or in a quote format I have done this and it’s done pretty well for my account and the best part is is that it doesn’t take a lot of work because all I have to do is look at old content that I’ve already done and basically read off the page or elaborate
(05:50) on the page remember like I said earlier good content is good content and so if you’re able to take your Carousel or quote posts that have performed well in the past and turn them into real format there’s a likelihood that it’s also going to perform pretty damn well and so if you haven’t tried it already definitely consider using the green screen function and start creating Instagram reels without necessarily Reinventing the wheel now moving on to the next type of reel to create that will get you a lot of
(06:17) views without a lot of work and that is quote reels they look something like this every time I post them on my account they typically perform really really well and so the first step that you want to do is make sure that you have videos that you can post this can be stock videos for instance you can go to pixels and then search up any video and download it or you can do what I like to do which is filming a lot of hyperlapses of my day whether I’m working doing a photo shoot or whatever and this is what a hyperlapse looks like
(06:44) you can download the hyperlapse if you want to create videos that are similar and so that’s the first step the second step is you want to make sure that you have your Twitter post and so what I’ll do is I’ll go into Twitter and I’ll type in my quote or whatever I want to say and then I’ll screenshot that and crop it so that it’s a square or a rectangle now once you’ve screenshotted and you’ve cropped your Twitter post you want to go into your gallery and copy that post next you then want to go into to your
(07:13) Instagram reels editor and upload the hyperlapse that you have from there you’re then going to want to hit paste and now you’re going to be able to paste that Twitter image then you have your quote post it was so easy to create and I didn’t necessarily have to talk to camera do any dancing or film myself with anything other than those hyper lapses which I compile on a daily basis anyways because I always know that I’m going to be creating quote reels now once you’ve done that you then want to
(07:42) layer on any trending music that you might have saved and by the way if you don’t know how to do this all you have to do is go into your Instagram reels explore feed and if you see any audios that have this pointing arrow that basically tells you that it is a trending audio and so what you want to do is you want to click on that audio and then add to favorites now when you start editing your post you’re able to access your saved audio pieces that you can easily put in your content and so that’s basically the simple steps of how
(08:11) to create quote posts and they give me such a great return on my time because again I don’t have to show my face I don’t have to do anything and because I’m layering that trending audio on top I’m able to get a lot of views and a lot of reach from not only my followers but my non-followers as well and it definitely helps with fueling growth to my account now moving on to the next real idea for you that will get you more views than usual and that is talk to camera organic reels what this looks
(08:41) like is something like this we’ve actually experimented with content that is a lot more highly produced versus content that was filmed with my iPhone and we found that the one filmed with my iPhone outperformed the ones that I filmed with my professional camera and so make sure that in your content strategy that you’re still creating organic content that is native to the platform and what I feel made these content pieces perform extremely well was a few things number one have a really strong hook because the first two
(09:11) seconds is going to matter the most most number two make sure that your reel is about 30 seconds or less I have actually experimented with this and any time that we go past Max 40 seconds we notice that the Reel doesn’t perform as well not only this one thing that I noticed that has worked extremely well is also changing up the scene and so even though I’m talking to camera sometimes I’ll switch the scene and I’ll actually draw something on a notebook like this to further visualize what I’m trying to
(09:40) explain I noticed that every time that I do this my reels have performed a lot better than usual and then the next tip that I have to make these reels perform really well is to still make sure that you add captions you can do this with platforms like the script like cap cut like vdi o or you can even use the caption feature on Instagram like I’ve done here this also works equally as well but all in all if you’re going to be doing talk to camera videos like this my biggest recommendation is to keep it
(10:07) as organic as possible and also making sure that it’s 30 seconds Max and making sure you have those captions in place this will guarantee the amount of views that you get on your reel the next time that you do a talk to camera video now moving on to the next type of reel to create that can get you some views and that is repurposing your long form content if you are a YouTuber or you’re a video podcaster or maybe you’re a coach that does a lot of Zoom calls my recommendation is to clip those into 30
(10:37) second clips that you can repurpose and repost onto your feed now there is a really easy way to do this especially if you do not have a video editor and that is using something like diss script so with the descript software what you can do is you can upload your full YouTube clip this is an example I have right here it’ll automatically transcribe it so you can easily see what specifically you want to clip for your Instagram reel so for instance if this is the only section that I want to clip from my Instagram reel I’m going to highlight
(11:08) that and then right click and click click to composition and hit new what it’s going to do is it’s going to separate that clip for that specific section that I had wanted now from here you’re going to want to click this video setting button right here and hit portrait mode now you’re going to have the right orientation for Instagram reels you’re now able to also drag this as far as you want to fill as most of the screen as you can now from here the cool thing about this script is you can
(11:36) click this plus sign right here and then choose the option fancy captions now when you add fancy captions it’s automatically going to add the captions to the video and then from here you’re able to play with the font size the font type so for example over here I can select a whole different type of font and then you can add fill colors and active word color animation so for instance if I wanted to make this red I could then make it like this overall descript is a really great option for those of you who want to
(12:08) easily turn your YouTube videos into short form content like Instagram reels and I highly recommend it for those of you who may not have an in-house editor helping you with your video editing now so far in this video I’ve given you a few Instagram reels ideas that can get you a ton of views but if you want to take your content strategy to the next level I highly recommend that you watch this video here where I not only give you even more content ideas but I also show you my exact content strategy on how I create and post my content so
(12:37) thank you so much for watching this video but I will see you in this one next [Music] thank you

(00:00) the number one reason that you’re not getting the views that you want to on YouTube right now is simply because you’re not uploading your videos the right way but don’t worry by the end of this video you’re going to know the exact way that you need to be uploading your content on YouTube right now to get as many views as humanly possible from YouTube shorts in fact this Creator just made the changes to their upload process that I’m about to share with you and gained over 100,000 subscribers in just
(00:21) 30 days and this Creator did the same thing except they gain over 20,000 subscribers more importantly they were actually able to get monetized literally from a single post that they uploaded the right way as opposed to uploading all their other content the wrong way but I do want to warn you if you skip just one part of this video it could actually be the thing that’s destroying your views step number one you need to make sure that you actually begin the upload process from a mobile device way too many of you are uploading it from an
(00:47) iPad or uploading from a PC and it’s destroying the amount of reach that you’re getting you need to upload from a mobile device because then you can actually choose the thumbnail that you’re going to use and if you don’t understand how YouTube shorts work essentially they show up in three places one browse features which is basically the homepage secondly in Search and third they show up on the shorts feed now for two of three of those guess what you need to have a good thumbnail for your content to stick out and for people
(01:13) to click on it and if people click on it you’re going to get more views but for the shorts feed this doesn’t necessarily matter but what a lot of you are mistakenly doing is ignoring browse features in Search and that actually accounts for a ton of different traffic on YouTube so by doing that you’re literally cutting the views that you could have gotten by like 70 % for example I recently uploaded this video right here and literally just my thumbnail is the reason that I got 100,000 views more than one of my
(01:37) competitors and 50,000 views more than the other competitor and this video continues to get thousands of views every single day and it’s been like that for a few months now and I’m going to guess that it’s going to continue to happen in the future because nobody’s actually made a better video with a better title a better thumbnail and a better piece of content and if you begin changing your strategy to think like this and upload your content the right way the same thing could happen your views because it’s easier to get views
(02:02) on YouTube right now than it ever has been before so to get started here’s what you have to do all you have to do is click that plus sign in the middle of the YouTube app and from here you want to click create a short and then you’ll be able to choose the file you want to upload now remember most viral shorts on YouTube are between 12 to 15 seconds 24 to 30 seconds and 55 to 60 seconds so if you’re not outputting shorts that are in that length you’re probably doing something wrong and on top of that this
(02:27) is going to be topic specific so just because 12 seconds video on one topic worked doesn’t mean you should make all your videos 12 seconds instead you should actually be doing the research you need to do the research for the topic you’re about to post about and figure out the best length of that post because if you don’t understand how this works essentially people that watch Minecraft videos watch 60-second Minecraft videos or 30 seconds or 12 seconds and guess what each one of those different lengths has a different
(02:54) audience size so if you choose the wrong length for your content you could drastically increase or decrease the amount amount of people that you’re aable to reach and this could be having a huge impact on how many views you actually get so once you’ve uploaded your video via a mobile device now you need to put in your title and for right now this could just be a placeholder and remember you should never be uploading a title that has more than three hashtags I mean YouTube literally says in their terms of service that they wouldn’t
(03:18) recommend uploading videos with more than three hashtags because it decreases the ability for them to use those hashtags to find the correct audience and remember how YouTube actually works when you upload a video to YouTube especially if you’re a small channel YouTube is going to seede your content with a specific audience if they do not like that content your content’s not going to get continued to push out and one of the ways that you can affect which audience YouTube is actually seating your content with is by choosing
(03:42) the right hashtags and by doing two other things I’m going to share with you later on this video which are going to make a huge difference if you’re not reaching the Right audience right now so after putting in your placeholder title right there what you’re going to want to do now is click on that little edit icon that’s going to allow you to choose a thumbnail now remember you can’t choose a random photo for the thumbnail it needs to be something that actually shows in the video so when you’re
(04:03) creating your video you need to be creating a scene that you think is going to be a good thumbnail and remember the best way for you to actually determine what type of thumbnail you should be creating is by typing in the title or typing in the topic and seeing what the other thumbnails look like and make sure yours is better ideally you’re going to want to be invoking curiosity or showing something that gets to the point of the title or what they could expect to come later and makes them need to click on
(04:27) that video because if somebody doesn’t need to click on your video they’re probably going to click on somebody else’s from here you want to click on visibility and you want to schedule the video for some date far in the future don’t make it today don’t make it tomorrow cuz it could potentially mess up one of the later parts that we’re going to add in this video and also you want to make sure that you do not put it as unlisted or put it as private I know a lot of small accounts have been doing
(04:49) that and it could potentially be decreasing the reach that you’re getting because those two are really only used if you want to share a video with somebody and never want to set the video public or if you want to run the video as an ad and you don’t want it to actually show on your YouTube channel or you want to put it on a course or something along the lines of that so please don’t use those features as a placeholder so now what you need to do is head over to your desktop or your laptop CU there’s a ton of other changes
(05:13) you need to make to this piece of content but first I need to make sure that you actually have a good title for your short this is a stage where a lot of people mess up if you’re just choosing a random title or you’re not putting a lot of effort or thought into this it could be destroying the amount of views that you get because it’s the biggest signal to YouTube of who they should pushing the content to now what I strongly suggest you do is use a tool like vid IQ and I want you to use it for two reasons one they give you daily
(05:37) ideas based on your channel based off of the post that I’ve done well and your competitor’s content or just the people on YouTube that are posting other content that’s similar to yours on top of that you can use their tool to do keyword research so you can search for something and actually determine the best keyword to put in your title that’s going to maximize the amount of views that you’re getting and on top of that if you click into it you’ll be able to see all the trending videos and this
(06:00) will show you the scripts that are working the formats that are working the titles that are working and so much more that’s going to make you a way better YouTuber if you don’t already have vid IQ I strongly suggest you go to the pin comment below and sign up today it’s just $1 for 30 days and to be quite Frank it’s going to be the best $1 that you’ve ever spent because it’s going to make you a way better YouTube Creator and they will literally create your titles tags and descriptions for you
(06:25) okay so now that we got the phone part out of the way and you’re using vid IQ now to come up with the best titles tags and descriptions we need to actually add that in your content so now what you’re going to do you’re going to want to add your title I know a lot of people out there are saying use titles that are less than 55 characters long yes that’s great for entertainment stuff but for Education stuff it might not be the best in fact the majority of videos that have gone viral on my channel actually have
(06:48) titles that are a lot longer than 55 characters so don’t hold yourself to that but just know 55 characters might be the only thing that shows up and from there I need you to write a description the description should ideally be 2 to three sentences long it should have the keywords that you have in your title and it should basically just be a description of the video please make sure if you’re going to use hashtags you put them in the title and you do not put them in the description I’m going to share with you later the best hashtags
(07:13) to use for your specific Niche but first I need to make sure that you’re choosing the right tags now when it comes to tags your tags should look like this essentially all you’re going to do with tags is you want different phrases that are relevant to the video and you want to fill up 450 to 47 five of the 500 characters I see a lot of people go all the way to 500 I see a lot of people stay below 50 neither of those things are going to help you and you need to make sure that you’re choosing the right
(07:39) title choosing the right description choosing the right tags but we can’t stop there because YouTube just released a new feature that you need to be adding to your shorts and it’s going to Skyrocket the amount of money that you make on YouTube the time it takes you to get monetized and ultimately how many views you end up getting now that next feature that you need to make sure that you’re adding is a related video YouTube Just came out with this if you don’t know YouTube got rid of links on shorts
(08:03) they did this to combat spam and to combat fraud but now what you can do is add a related video and you could do this for three different things one you could change all your related videos to your latest long form piece of content to drive more people there so you make more money and get monetized quicker the second thing you can do is set up a sales page or a sales video that’s going to be unlisted and then drive everybody to that or third you could drive people to your other shorts in fact the more views that you get per viewer on YouTube
(08:31) the higher the odds that they’re going to continue to push out your content we can’t stop there because there’s one other thing you need to make sure that you do now that your video is done it’s completely uploaded you’ve done everything right you put the titles the tags the description the related video now what you need to do is publish your video or schedule it for a future date and from there you need to go to the video you need to leave a pin comment that’s going to be getting people to
(08:54) subscribe or getting people to watch more of your content because if you’re not doing that you’re missing out on views in addition to that if you’re not choosing the right hashtags in your content it could actually be the thing that’s killing your views so check out this video right here where I tell you exactly what hashtags you need to use for your specific Niche and how many hashtags you should be doing

Transcript:
(00:00) I posted a tick tock that got 19 000 views and then a few months later I posted the exact same video but this time applied a few principles that I’m going to be teaching in this video and it got almost 5 million views same video just a few small tweaks so what made the difference let’s talk about it why are your Instagram reels or tick tocks not getting views now each social media platform will have its differences in formatting and algorithms but the basic principles that make a piece of content go viral are all the same and I
(00:32) want to share with you 10 of those principles in this video but first why why should you care about getting views on and building a following on Instagram or Tick Tock for yourself or for a video client in short because more traffic more followers equals more people to Market to which ultimately will allow you or your client to make more money in your business and if we’re being honest that’s the end game for most creators and businesses is to make a living off of that content so if you want to grow
(00:57) your business or be a capable marketer to grow other businesses you’ll want to learn and apply these principles so let’s dive in our first and most important tip is content is King the first and main reason why your rails or tick tocks don’t get views is that your content isn’t relatable relevant or shareable the rest of my tips in this video won’t do you much good if the content of your video just doesn’t appeal to anyone so let’s give you a few examples of how to do each of these
(01:24) first relatable can people relate to your content a good example of relatable content in the filmmaking space specifically is Chris Hua wow ha one of his most viewed reels as of late is him posing a relatable question so you want to get into photography he then shocks you with his answer don’t do it and then gives you all the relatable reasons about how expensive it is how many endless pieces of gear you have to buy how many posts on Instagram you don’t get any views and eventually you get one awesome photo and it makes it all worth
(01:55) it now these are all examples of relatable scenarios as someone watching this you think oh man he is describing my experiences so you hit the share button so it hits two of those three factors really well and that’s why this post got a lot of shares and Views now Chris is more focused on comedic sketches and posing relatable questions and scenarios but comedy may not be your strength so let’s look at Sam colder who focuses more on shareability one of his most viewed reels at 3 million views is him cliff jumping and an amazing
(02:25) tracking shot from an fpv drone now this activity is hardly relatable to most regular people but it is shocking both the activity and the camera movement are shockingly cool and that shock Factor makes things shareable you watch this and you think oh man I gotta show my buddy how cool this shot is and if you look a few weeks earlier he basically posted the exact same clip except this one only had half a million views which shows that the activity was still shocking enough to get a good amount of views but when he then added some epic
(02:54) music an epic tracking camera movement suddenly the share ability went way up so as you’re creating content for yourself for clients ask yourself the question would I share this with someone I know if the answer is no then think how can we spice this up to add some more shock or wow factor to make it more shareable the last example we’ll look at is my account on full-time filmmaker now I don’t put much Focus on Instagram and Tick Tock content so my numbers aren’t going to look as good as these other
(03:22) guys I’ve mentioned but my brand focuses more on relevant pieces of gear unboxing videos generally perform better than my tutorial content because everyone unboxes products so it’s relatable activity but beyond that when I choose to unbox a piece of camera gear that recently came out that makes it relevant relevance means it’s trending it’s in the news it’s new it’s a novel when you can post about something that people are already talking about it will catch their eye because it’s relevant to them
(03:50) my most viewed unboxing video was surprisingly this lens cap because not only was it new but it was unique interesting novel and unusual so the goal when creating any content Instagram and Tick Tock content included is to try and check off all three of these boxes let’s move on to our next tip and that is keep it concise a big question I get asked on this topic is how long should my rails be and vaguely the answer is as long as you can keep someone’s attention for generally the algorithms will favor
(04:20) shorter content like 5 to 10 seconds but that doesn’t mean longer form content can’t be shareable I recently started a new faith-based account called true Millennials and even though most of my reels aren’t concise at all one of my four minute rails got over 300 000 views and I just barely started this account so that shows you a couple of things that one you don’t need a large following to catch hold of Instagram or tick tock’s algorithms but two it also shows you that length doesn’t
(04:45) necessarily matter Instagram specifically has a 90 second limit on their rails but they recently changed posts that can be up to 15 minutes long to also show up in the real feeds even if it’s longer than 90 seconds so even if it’s longer than 90 seconds it still has the same shareability as a real that having been said our attention spans are short so generally speaking the shorter the better and that brings me to our next tip the hook the first three seconds is the most important part of your video as people are scrolling
(05:15) through Instagram or Tick Tock you have about three seconds to capture their attention to hook them into watching the rest Mr Beast is one of the Masters at creating engaging hooks his primary way of doing this is by posing a relatable question right out of the gates or giving a quick summary of what the video is about right at the beginning but as you’re brainstorming content and as you’re in the editing room think what can I do in the first few seconds of this video to get people hooked I did that with this video you’re watching
(05:43) right now I picked out what I felt was the most shocking most engaging part of this video and I put a little teaser at the beginning to hook you in to get you interested in learning more so if you have a one minute video for example I’d put the most engaging clip my most shocking moment or the most relatable clip at the very beginning but moving on to our next tip and that is the 10 second rule originally I made this roll up about seven years ago since then attention spans have diminished so we’ll update it and call it the five second
(06:10) rule but basically what it means is don’t let more than five seconds go by without changing visually what your audience is looking at the first step is to to hook their attention the second step is to retain their attention throughout the whole video this can be done through captions or on-screen texts or it can be done with changing camera angles or punching in on the existing angle but probably the most engaging option is to add b-roll or video clips that visually show what you’re audibly hearing this tip is more relevant to
(06:37) Talking Heads like this but the rule applies to any kind of edit now ideally you have your own b-roll that you’ve shot but if you don’t have any b-roll of the subject matter at hand then just use some stock footage the site I use for all my stock footage is story blocks and they’re actually the ones sponsoring this video today recently I’ve been using them a ton for a lot of my Instagram edits allowing me to turn otherwise rather boring Talking Heads into engaging Instagram reels and I can always find the stock Clips I’m looking
(07:04) for at storyblocks because they have over a million 4K and HD royalty free video clips to choose from and they regularly add more based on in demand keywords and you also get unlimited downloads and simple licensing without any extra fees with their flexible subscriptions that’s my favorite part is I don’t have to license individual Clips I can just download as many as I want and I also frequently use their pre-made motion graphic templates to increase the production quality of my videos and streamline my creative process with
(07:32) minimal effort so as a long time subscriber I can highly recommend their services and you can learn more by clicking the link in the description below or go to storyblocks.com Parker and it doesn’t have to be exactly every 5 to 10 seconds that’s not the point just keep the edits engaging keep your audience on their toes by giving them something new to look at as often as possible but moving on to our next tip and that is to add value rather than ask for Value let me point out one of the biggest mistakes I see content creators
(08:02) make on social media in general and that is that they post about themselves newsflash no one cares about you until they know how much you care about them until you add value to their lives that could be in the form of entertainment or giving them news out updates educating them or it could be making them laugh making them feel good about themselves inspiring them but this is why so many podcasts and Vlogs fail out of the gates because most Vlogs and podcasts are centered around me and my life hi welcome to my podcast today we’re going
(08:34) to talk about me no one cares Peter McKinnon tried to start a vlog back in the day and no one really cared about his daily life until he started adding value to their lives through tutorials and education now it help study is also super entertaining so he adds value in that way as well but the bigger value that exploded his channel was his focus on educating others so ask yourself that question when brainstorming what kind of content to create is this going to add value to other people’s lives okay next
(09:03) tip is humans connect with real humans not with brands or organizations this is a tough one for me personally and for many videographers and filmmakers in general because we usually like to be behind the camera we don’t like putting ourselves on camera unfortunately though in today’s landscape of social media it favors the extrovert favors those willing to put their face on a camera now of course it is possible to create successful reels and Tick-Tock content without putting your face on camera but I encourage every Creator even if you
(09:32) are a behind the scenes camera person to build your personal brand by including behind the scenes shots of yourself talk to your audience on camera when it makes sense not only will this help you better connect with your audience but it will attract more video clients as well as they get a feel for who you are as a person since they’re hiring you to work with you not just buying a final video product from you and on this note I’ll add that people connect better to you when you’re being real authentic organic
(09:58) unscripted again I’m not great at this because I script A lot of my content but for example that’s why such a popular format you’ll see in reels and tick tocks is a clip of two people talking to each other in podcast format because two people having a real unscripted dialogue comes across so much more natural and real and organic than someone talking to a camera in monologue in order to monologue the person has to be insanely talented as a communicator which some people are but for those of us who
(10:25) aren’t dialogue with another human can help it feel a lot more real and natural as humans connect with real humans moving on to our next tip though is to keep up to date with Trends and trending audio yes it is possible to succeed on Instagram and Tick Tock without ever jumping on a trend or ever using a trending audio but of course the algorithms will work in your favor if you can include some trending audio and your content will instantly fall into the relevant category if you’re jumping on a video style or song that is
(10:55) trending this is one of the easiest ways to grow from nothing an example of this on our Tick Tock page at full-time filmmaker was a one minute clip from one of my tutorials showing the difference in focal lengths but if you’re shooting at too wide of a focal length the face looks too skinny and pulled back and it did okay it had 19 000 views but we didn’t use any music just the clip then a couple months later we posted the exact same video and except this time we cut out my voice and instead put the
(11:21) stupid Siri voice as the voiceover and we put a caption on the screen and put it to a song that was trending at the time and we also followed my second tip and chopped it down to just 10 seconds to make it more concise this is how different focal lengths affect how how you look I’ve been dancing in my room and what do you know it got 5 million views 19 000 versus 5 million and using the trendy Siri voice and the trendy audio was a big part of that difference now don’t feel like you have to jump on Trends if you can naturally include some
(11:56) Trends in your content then great but don’t force it I have seen people though that will post multiple variations of the same edit each one with a different hook and different music and different lengths until they get one of them to take off and then they’ll delete the other variations but moving on to our next tip which is specific to talking head content like this is don’t neglect lighting and audio a lot of shareable content these days can be done from a smartphone camera and I think that’s
(12:21) fine as far as video quality goes even the audio can be usable from a smartphone as long as you’re close enough to the camera but if you’re doing anything where you’re not right next to the camera then use a microphone it will make your videos feel so much higher quality I promise and if you love mic options I recommend in different price ranges would be first the FTF gear lav mic which is thirty dollars that’s your cheapest option and it is wired the biggest downside of these cheaper mics plugged into a phone is that you can’t
(12:48) adjust the volume level so you can’t talk too loud or else it’s going to distort your next step up is something like a saramonic love mic that can plug straight into your iPhone and it has a wireless transmitter and this one costs about a hundred and forty dollars but does give you some gain control and then I also own a DJI love mic which is a nicer version of The saramonic Love mic that comes in at three hundred dollars and I’ll show you now the difference between the audio in each of those alright so so your audio sounds like
(13:13) just coming from the iPhone itself usable fine but now and this is what your audio is going to sound like with the FTF gear mic nice and cheap thirty dollars next you’ve got the saramonic lav mic that you can either talk into this or you can talk into a microphone this is going to be Wireless that transmits to it so you can have more freedom and then you have your DJI love mic that just comes with this you can plug a mic into it but doesn’t come with one and this is going to give you the most control over your game levels just
(13:40) coming from the iPhone it’s self with the FTF gear mic the saramonic lav mic and then you have your DJI love mic and we’ll talk about Studio mics in another video I have coming out talking about podcasting but on the lighting side again you can get by with a cheap camera as long as your lighting looks decent the free option of course is plop yourself next to a window or you can pick up a ring light for less than a hundred dollars or take it a little more serious and get something like an amaron 60D plus a soft dome for around 200
(14:07) total but with just a couple hundred dollars in audio and lighting gear your videos are going to look and sound much higher quality watch me now deliver the same line with good lighting and good audio versus bad lighting and bad audio and tell me which one you’d be more likely to stop and listen to stop scrolling and listen to what I have to say I desperately need your attention stop scrolling and listen to what I have to say I desperately need your attention on now to our next tip that is captions or on-screen text watch that same video
(14:40) but now with captions added stop scrolling and listen to what I have to say I desperately need your attention captions or subtitles are a growing necessity on short form content it makes content much more engaging and easier to consume as you can both hear audibly and see visually what’s being said this also makes the content more shareable across other languages as some people may be able to read your language better than they can understand it personally I use Adobe Premiere Pro for most of my posts to Auto generate all my captions and I
(15:12) did a tutorial on adobe’s YouTube channel that I’ll link below on how to generate those captions but you can also use phone apps if you don’t have Premiere Pro I’ve used the app captions and I’ve really liked using that but captions are a great way to do what we mentioned in the five second rule tip and that is to keep your audience engaged and retain their attention better throughout the entire video and even if there’s no talking in your video by throwing on some text on your video
(15:36) at the beginning for example it can act like a hook to add anticipation and to tell the viewer what they can expect to see happening later on and now moving on to our last tip number 10 is aspect ratio and Export setting this tip pains me but sadly vertical 9×16 content will typically perform better as it takes up the full use of the screen and looks more organic like you shot it on your phone vertically if I’ve shot something in 16×9 I will either just scale in to fit a vertical frame or if too much of
(16:07) my subject is being cut off then I’ll just put a title on top and some subtitles below to utilize the space better but ideally the video itself is taking up the full vertical frame so you’ll want to keep that in mind when framing your shots but when I edit together content that I’m delivering for both YouTube horizontal and Instagram vertical I’ll first do the edit vertically in a 1080 by 1920 sequence I’ll then copy my whole timeline and paste it into a new horizontal 1920×1080 timeline and then I’ll just reframe the
(16:36) clips to fit the horizontal aspect ratio and adjust the captions as needed usually only takes me about a half hour to reformat the entire video from one to the other keep in mind though with your vertical edits that part of your frame is going going to be cluttered with Instagram or Tick Tock details like likes comments shares and the caption below so I actually have a PNG template that I made that I’ll link below that you can download for free that you can overlay while you’re editing to ensure that none of the important captions or
(17:03) important imagery is clashing also keep in mind on certain phones like the newer iPhones when you click into an Instagram reel or on Tick Tock it actually crops your video even slightly skinnier than 9×16 aspect ratio so again if you use my PNG overlay you can see exactly where stuff gets cut off on these red lines on this note I get a lot of questions about the best export settings for Instagram and Tick Tock how do you keep the videos from getting reduced in quality I hate to break it to you but social media
(17:33) sites will always reduce the quality of your videos through compression you’re just gonna have to get used to that whether you can press it in Premiere Pro or once you upload it to Instagram either way it’s getting compressed so edit and export from Premiere Pro in the quality you’re happy with I personally just do high quality 1080p preset and Premiere and then I match Source the aspect ratio but the important part that will make a difference in the overall quality is in your Instagram settings
(17:58) click on accounts then go to data usage and make sure you have toggled on upload at highest quality if you don’t have this toggled on then if your internet speed is slow it will reduce the quality in order to allow you to upload your videos quicker so make sure that’s toggled on and that will give you as good of quality as Instagram can muster and as a bonus tip for you distribution is Queen if content is King distribution is Queen this refers to things like using hashtags using a good cover photo or thumbnail posting during a certain
(18:27) time of day posting on certain days posting a certain frequency and posting consistently in general all these little things will increase the likelihood of your videos getting seen so go look your analytics to see when your viewers are most active for me it’s in the mornings around 9am so that’s when I try to post for me there’s no specific day that people are more active on Instagram and I personally don’t take the time to do hashtags to I’m sure it can help probably the most important part of good
(18:51) distribution though is consistency algorithms love to see regular activity for example I went a couple months without posting much on Instagram maybe only once or twice in that time and for the first time in years I started losing followers rather than gaining so I set a goal to at least post once a week and after doing that for three or four weeks the algorithm God smiled upon me and my daily followers started regularly going back to positive I think once a week is a good Baseline to try and shoot for if you want to grow following and stay
(19:20) relevant to your audience ideally you post more than that and if you don’t see great results after a few weeks be patient stay consistent learn from your mistakes and successes and pivot your content each week based on what’s doing well and what’s not doing well and keep in mind that there is a variable of Randomness to this virality game sometimes what it takes for a post to go big is that one specific person with a large following happened to see it and share it and that’s what gives it the
(19:46) initial push to start spreading but you can’t predict or Bank on that one big person to share it so don’t get frustrated trying to nail this down to a science some posts will fall flat some will take off and there won’t always be a specific Rhyme or Reason to it don’t let that discourage you from continuing to create and on that note educate your clients as well when you’re doing rails for them that virality is a random game and I would brainstorm 10 variations of the same piece of content with your
(20:12) client making a bunch of different Hooks and then in the editing room I’d pump out a variety of edits with different styles and approaches so there you have my tips on how to get more views on Instagram reels and tick tocks obviously you don’t have to do all of these on every post these are just some general principles to keep in mind as you’re creating also I did an interview with my buddy Tanner Townsend who grew his music Instagram Tick Tock following from 2 000 followers to over a hundred thousand
(20:39) followers in just a matter of two months and then shortly after he grew his dad’s business account from 13 000 followers to again over a hundred thousand followers in just two months and and he explains how he applied the principles mentioned in this video to do it so if you’d like to see that interview is reserved exclusively for full-time filmmaker members linked below to check that out to get access to over 600 tutorials to help you grow your business lastly don’t forget to subscribe for more content just like this and if you

(00:00) hey this is Dave from unipro in this video I’m going to show you how to get way more views on all your Facebook reels and as an example I’m going to show you some of my Facebook reels and these are targeting a very specific Niche audience yet they’re still getting thousands of views and in this video I’m going to show you the exact strategies that I use and that you can use to make sure that all of your reels get seen by a bigger audience let’s Dive In [Music] so you know that Facebook loves reels
(00:27) you know if you want to be engaging your audience and growing your audience you need to be creating reels but your reels just aren’t getting as many views as you’d like maybe they did at the start maybe the first couple reels you created got a lot of views and then you’ve noticed that engagement and that reach and the number of people who are viewing is decreasing well what the heck some people will say you know just give up on Facebook reels all together go back to posting only on Tick Tock or maybe
(00:49) creating shorts on YouTube no way we know that Facebook is going all in on reels we know that Facebook loves reels in fact let me show you what Mark Zuckerberg recently said in one of his posts he said Facebook just reached uh 2 billion daily active users and he says we’re making progress because of AI Discovery so their Discovery is getting better and specifically reels are a major driver of this so Zuckerberg knows that Facebook reels are going to be a driver short form content is so hot Facebook has to make that a big part of
(01:19) its platform so don’t give up on your Facebook reels instead let’s walk through seven steps that you can take take in order to improve your reels so you get more reach you get more views you get more engagement and you can use all this then to grow your online business so let’s take a look at those seven factors right now the first thing you want to do to maximize the number of views that you get on your reels is to remove any watermarks so I’m going to show you an example here and this happens way too often you’ll see that
(01:43) this person they took their Tick Tock and uploaded it directly as a Facebook reel and it’s still got the tick tock logo here now Facebook it’s really clear that they’re investing a ton of money and a ton of time into Ai and just as their tools get better and better this is going to be so easy for Facebook to detect if it’s not already doing so and as Facebook sees that you’re just taking content straight off Tick Tock and putting it on Facebook how do you think Facebook the algorithm is going to feel
(02:09) about that content well there’s a good chance that your algorithm is going to be decreased and fewer and fewer people are going to see reels that have logos like this on them so make sure you upload a new version of your reel without any watermarks directly to Facebook that’s number one number two you want to post consistently Facebook is really looking for Content creators who are going to consistently be adding value to the platform and who are consistently keeping people engaged on the Facebook platform remember Facebook
(02:34) wants to make money and it does that by showing people ads so if your consistent content can help keep other users on the Facebook platform your reels are going to get seen by way more people Facebook will basically be saying hey thanks for being so consistent with creating this content let me show you how I do this I use a Content calendar here’s my content calendar and you can see in this column for Wednesdays every single Wednesday I create a Facebook reel and I post it on my personal profile now for you maybe
(03:01) you want to do this on a weekly basis like I do maybe you want to do it three times a week Monday Wednesday Friday maybe you want to create a reel every single day whatever you choose in terms of that interval just make sure that you’re really consistent so that you’re training Facebook saying hey we’re here to help you out we’re creating good content on a consistent basis now reward me with more reach and that’s exactly what Facebook’s going to do for you number three if you want more people to
(03:23) see your reels if you want to increase your view use you need to make sure that your audience is full of people who match the niche that would get the most value out of your content what do I mean by that well let me show you an example I’m going to go over to one of my reels here and this particular reel is talking all about Facebook jail you can see down here it says Facebook jail explained well what is Facebook jail Facebook jail is something that basically if you do too much activity or too quickly or you
(03:45) do something Facebook doesn’t like Facebook prevents you from doing certain things on Facebook who would care about this well business owners care about this because they’re using Facebook to grow their business that’s why they’re so active on Facebook in the first place and so it’s really important if I’m going to create a Facebook reel about Facebook jail I need to have an audience who cares here’s how it’ll work for you if you create a Facebook reel Facebook’s going to show that to your audience
(04:08) assuming that the Reel actually matches your audience people are going to start engaging Facebook sees this and says okay we got a winner here let’s show this reel to more people outside of your existing Network who might also be interested and so that’s why it’s so important that you’re building a niche audience who would care about your face Facebook reels now step number four to make sure that your Facebook reels get seen by more people is all about using hashtags and again I’m going to go over
(04:31) and show you an example here so some people will just stuff their content full of hashtags and it actually decreases in Effectiveness the whole reason that we use hashtags is to help Facebook categorize what the Reel is about and so if you create 50 hashtags that’s a lot right that gives 50 different ideas that Facebook has to sort through and determine which one really represents what this Facebook reel is all about so instead what I recommend is that you use three to five really targeted and specific hashtags
(05:00) let me show you an example here so this one is all about getting hot leads on Facebook and notice I use three hashtags I say Facebook marketing online business and online marketing that’s all Facebook needs to know and now it’s going to take those hashtags and say okay this reel is about online marketing Facebook marketing when we see people engaging on content that’s about a similar topic it makes sense to show this reel and therefore this reel will get more views and you can do the exact same thing
(05:24) choosing 3 three to five very specific hashtags for all of your reels step number five to make sure that your reels get more views is by using a hook because Facebook reels are such short form content you only have a split second to get people really engaged to get them interested to make sure that they watch the entire 60 or 90 seconds however long your reel is and so in that Split Second the first second or two of your video you need to give a hook let me show you an example here this particular reel is all about a new
(05:51) feature from Facebook called Facebook stars that lets people earn money directly from Their audience and so I want to make sure that right out of the gate people understand that this is something new that they haven’t seen before how do I do that I create a hook right on the screen it says new Facebook Stars emphasizing this is new so think about how you can do that with your reels as well right off the bat starting with something that hooks people in so they know they’re going to get value that they haven’t gotten before they
(06:17) know they’re going to want to stick around and watch your entire reel as they watch your entire reel as your view time goes up guess what happens Facebook algorithm sees this and it’s going to start showing your real to more and more people and this leads into number six if you want to get more views on your Facebook reels you need to be using a call to action I’m going to show you an example here all of your reels should tell people what to do next and here’s a good example this particular one was
(06:40) very blatant about it this particular one said type eight in the comments and you can see the result here was 63 comments well what does this do this shows Facebook that people are watching this reel care enough to actually stop and take the time to comment think about that that’s a big deal for reels because reels are so quick and they move so fast through someone’s feed for someone to take the time to stop and comment really shows Facebook that what you produced is hitting it’s really resonating with your
(07:05) audience and therefore Facebook needs to find more people like that to show that real too so how do you do this you can tell people to like the Reel you could tell them to leave a comment like I did in Israel you could tell them to reply to a comment that you put in the Reel anything that gets them to engage on your reel is going to boost your algorithm for that reel and get it seen by more people that’s number six now step number seven is actually something that I don’t use with my reels but it could benefit you depending on your
(07:29) Niche so I do want to address it and that’s trending music if the type of content that you’re creating is for entertainment or if you’re targeting an audience that would really be interested in the type of music you’re using it may be beneficial for you to pick a trending piece of music from Facebook reels as you’re creating your reel and use that within your reel so that people who are engaging on other reels that also use that same training song are more likely to see your content now for me because
(07:55) I’m targeting a business audience I’m not so interested in people who are looking for specific types of music but maybe that makes sense for your Niche and if that is you then definitely try adding trending music to your reels when you create them and this could get your reel seen by more people so those are seven steps that you can use to increase the number of views that you’re getting on your Facebook reels now I do want to be fully transparent and let you know that one of the ways that I make sure
(08:14) that my reels are getting seen by the right people is by using a special tool it’s called unipro and if you’ve never tried a unipro before you got to check it out go over to unipro.com will go out and find your ideal leads and bring those leads over into your audience it’ll help them engage on your content it’ll boost your algorithm so that more people will see your content and even more leads will come your way and unipro even helps you make sales directly through Facebook it’s been an absolute game changer for my business

Transcript:
(00:00) in this video i’m going to show you step by step how to use the new facebook reels feature and make high quality content now if you’re not using the facebook rails feature it’s something you should seriously consider the reason being that typically when a social media company like facebook or instagram launches a new feature on their platform as part of that they push a massive amount of traffic or eyeballs to that new feature and that means that you or i can take advantage of this new feature and get a lot of that traffic so if you
(00:27) miss the early days of tick tock or the early days of instagram reels or youtube shorts it’s now the early days of facebook reels and you can take advantage of that step one let’s talk about actually getting to the real section of the facebook app since facebook app has become so convoluted it’s hard to find where you’re at a lot of time now there’s actually a few different ways you can get to reels the first one you can see right here where it says stories i can click reels or rooms so i can go there and i can see
(00:50) other people’s reels or on the far left just like with facebook stories i can click create real you can also see that directly below what’s on your mind the option to create a reel is there clearly they’re pushing reels and then finally if for some reason these aren’t showing up which seems to happen sometimes you can go to the far bottom right in the menu and there’s another reels option right there so we’re gonna go back to home right here we’re gonna click create real and this is the screen that it’s
(01:12) going to take you to now something you need to understand before we get started is that some of the edits and the things that you’re going to do like effects on your video they’ll be done ahead of time before you film and some of them are done after the video or after you film so we’ll let you see which one is which as we go along here now you can see here where it says length okay this is where we select the length of the video and we have three options 15 30 or 60 seconds now i usually just select 60 since it
(01:36) doesn’t have to be the length that’s selected it can be however long you want up to the length that you select so we’re going to select a 60 second video right here next you can see that we’re going to choose an input meaning where is this video going to come from the button at the bottom basically says we’re going to film that video from one of the two cameras on your phone now you can switch on the bottom right back and forth between my two cameras look there’s my desk so you can switch back
(02:01) and forth on the input there or you can select from your current camera roll now i can select this video clip right here but once i’ve selected that clip i can no longer add anything else meaning i can’t string together a bunch of clips inside of the facebook app i can just select one and then move from there however if you choose to make videos from the button at the bottom the recording button you can actually string together recordings let me show you what i mean real quick if i click this button
(02:27) and hold it down the recording button you can see at the top it’s telling me how much time i have left in this recording but now i can pause and let go i can change over to the front camera if i want and i can record again and it’s going to start right where it left off you can see now it’s saying i’ve got about 50 seconds left and counting and you can see each of those circles is a break so as long as you’re holding down that recording button it’s going to be recording and it’s going to start from
(02:49) wherever the previous recording ended up to 60 seconds now you may have noticed a lot of people doing reels where they’re actually singing along with content and music and things like that and the way they do that is on the top where it says audio you can select the audio ahead of time which means the audio will play as you record and that’s how people are able to sing or make sounds directly with the audio as they go now the way the audio works you can preview different songs by clicking the play button here we’ll show you right there
(03:14) you can also save different ones that you like for later and it’ll be saved just by clicking that little bookmark right there and once you have one that you like then you would click it and it will add it to the mix now since most songs are not the exact length that you need you can take this bar and actually scroll it back and forth and figure out where it is in that particular song that you want the clip to be pulled from so i’m going to choose just from the very beginning for the sake of the tutorial now that we’ve done
(03:39) that we’re back to our main screen and we can continue recording but you’ll notice as i click record it’s going to be playing the song as well so that i can record myself with the music we’ll see that right here [Music] [Applause] [Music] yeah that’s not really my style on facebook reels the next thing you need to know is the speed editor right there so you can see it says speed and what that means is i can actually ahead of time choose if what i’m filming wants to be played faster or slower than i’m
(04:09) actually filming for example if i select point three right here then when i film it’s actually going to be playing what’s recorded in slow motion so watch when i click record right here you’re going to see that timer at the top go really really fast because it knows that whatever i play is actually going to be one third as fast on the screen or it’s going to be about three seconds for every one second of recording and i can do the same thing in speed meaning three times the speed whatever i film it’s going to play it
(04:34) three times as fast moving down we can select effects ahead of time meaning i can select uh click effects and then it’s got all these different little things that you can do to yourself that in my opinion are quite nonsensical but do quite well on both facebook reels and tik tok and the last two options are the timer and green screen timer is very easy let’s pretend you want to do some kind of cool trick or something like that and you want to set down your phone run out and then have it start recording
(04:56) you’d click timer and you can choose 3 or 10 seconds and then you can also say only record for 30 you know 30 seconds 10 seconds 5 seconds however long you want it to record click set and you’re good to go and then last you can also do a green screen and all green screen is is i can select this i can choose a different background for myself here you can see that was very very easy to do or i can choose it from my actual camera roll and i can choose a background like this very very very easy now once you’ve
(05:19) filmed as many clips as you want for example right now if you look in the top left you can tell i’ve filmed two clips once you have as many clips as you want and you’re still under your time limit you click next now clicking next will take us to the post filming editing section but it’s worth noting that if i do something like add a sticker or any other editing and then i click go back it will actually discard all the changes so i can go back to add more clips to the end of my clips but you will lose
(05:42) all the changes you made in the post editing phase at that point now some of them are very similar for example we can edit the audio once again at the end if we want something different you’ll see here though after you click that is that you can actually mix the audio meaning you can push more volume towards your voice or you can push more volume towards the actual music and make kind of a nice balance in the two different sounds they’re hearing you can also click add voiceover right here and then you can record a voiceover over
(06:06) different sections of the video as you go you can also make edits to individual clips meaning when i click edit clips right there you can see i’ve got two different clips at the bottom one’s five seconds and one’s three seconds i can click into either one of those i can make trims if i started talking too late or something like that or i can reshoot it or do any of these edits at the bottom like change the speed change the crop do a reverse or a mirror now the last thing is probably these stickers
(06:28) right here and you can see right here i select stickers and it’s just different fun things i can add to the video i can also add gifs or emojis and kind of add a little bit of fun pizzazz to what’s supposed to be fun videos now as soon as you finish this and you feel comfortable with the video that you’ve created you can go click next and now all you’ve got to do is add some kind of title to your video that’ll get people to watch it you select who you want to be able to see your video i never know who uses most of
(06:52) these options i typically just go public but then last is the remixing option now this is kind of cool and i typically leave it selected it’s very similar to tick-tock duets but essentially someone out there can watch your video they can say hey i want to make a fun video that’s side by side and we’ll show on the screen here an example but it’s their video plus your video on the other side and it kind of promotes you to their followers as well so it’s just a way to help grow your channel and you
(07:13) can also do the same to other people so all you would need to do is when you’re looking at different reels from different people like this you can see the bottom right there’s three dots i can click it and click remix this reel what that’s going to do is actually put you on one side and they’re real on the other side and you can make a fun little video of you kind of pointing out what they’re doing or adding something to what they’re doing and that’s facebook reels if you’ve used tik tok or youtube
(07:35) shorts it’s very very similar they’ve added some other cool features as well basically learn from some of the mistakes of tick tock all in all it’s a great app and it’s a great opportunity right now to be getting some really easy traffic to your content now if you’re a creator and you’re trying to monetize content this is the channel for you don’t forget to subscribe and thank you so much for watching

(00:00) which actually brought me in sales I think I made like thirty thousand dollars off this one TikTok video which I was not expecting I’m like okay I cracked the code baby we we figured it out this is working when I first started doing this I said oh yeah this is it this is the money right here this is the money right here oh TikTok likes this we’re gonna keep doing that all right they’re asking how to clean it she’s a Savage look look it’s no comparison [Music] what’s up boss babes welcome back to
(00:46) another video y’all this video is going to be amazing if I do say so myself and I’m not just saying it because it’s me okay we’re gonna be talking about TikTok um I haven’t done a lot of videos on TikTok so this was necessary I’m all the way over here because I’m going to be sharing my screen on my phone very soon and basically telling y’all exactly how I have accumulated over 90 000 followers on TikTok and over 10 million views in less than two months it actually took me approximately 43 days
(01:20) to do this and I am literally going to tell y’all exactly what I did no catch literally just giving the T it is 10 things that I can honestly say completely accelerated my growth on TikTok and y’all can do these exact things and see some growth it doesn’t matter what your TikTok is about at all you can apply these things and I’m about to give it to y’all and we are going to do these in order of what truly truly truly set the tone and made a difference on this TikTok account so I’m going to
(01:52) save the best for last obviously so let’s just hop into the video don’t forget to give it a thumbs up and let’s get started all right y’all so this TikTok account is my jazz on yay account this was the account that I was using basically for the same type of content that I post here on YouTube educational content around e-commerce and online business and things like that so I want to show y’all my old videos first because as you can see I was not getting a lot of views like it just wasn’t
(02:20) hitting and I wasn’t consistent either so what I started out doing at first was I took clips from my YouTube videos and were just repurposing them on TikTok and I wasn’t seeing a lot of traction doing that and then I had one video Hit and it hit over 50 000 views so I was like what set this video apart and it was actually the content that I chose to put on TikTok that segment of the video is what grants people attention so that’s when I quickly learned that TikTok is all about the hook it’s all
(02:50) about those first few seconds if you can grasp people attention that’s how you win if you don’t have your notebook out yet I need you to get it out now all right because I’ll be moving pretty fast I don’t want this video to be super drawn out for no reason so as y’all can see kept repurposing the content from YouTube I would say about I played around with the time about 30 to 60 seconds to kind of see what worked and it just wasn’t doing it for me so I got off TikTok I was like this is not
(03:16) worth my time the views were low only in the few hundreds and it was not getting any engagement really so girl I just I just let it rest until I noticed when I switched it up a little bit just by studying the platform y’all I love to study things okay I’m gonna study it all and I noticed that there were certain types of videos that would always do great numbers if they followed this specific formula so I tested it out so y’all can see my old content now let’s get into the content that it was
(03:47) actually working which was the remainder of the content that I posted I have literally hit millions of views on the video hundreds of thousands of views on the video for me I view TikTok as a lead funnel my goal is not really to convert people from TikTok is to lead them somewhere else to convert them you get what I’m saying so let’s get into the top 10 things y’all that I did that completely grew and blew my TikTok up and I’m actually not even on TikTok right now because I don’t have an answer for you so the
(04:19) first thing I want to mention is I focus on trendy sounds okay so I knew that this was basically like a cheat code because if a sound is already performing well and people are already looking it up and people are already utilizing it that’s just basically giving yourself a head start in terms of engagement on the video so most of my videos on here the initial video was just a trending sound with words on this screen so let’s talk about the words on the screen every single video has words on the screen and
(04:52) they’re not captions so I wasn’t talking in these videos y’all I was literally just doing the sounds most of the time I’m not doing anything those are the videos I saw perform the best the videos where you aren’t doing nothing perform the best and I’m just like what in the world my first video that hit a million views is sitting at 1.
(05:13) 9 million views now I was literally just staring at an invisible person in my room this video is three seconds long okay now remember how I said the title the text on the screen is so important most people on TikTok are looking for text on screen a lot of people have disabilities so they appreciate when you have text on screen or captions on the screen so when I started noticing this I was like every video needs to have a text on the screen but more importantly than that is I started paying attention to the psychology of the viewer right I in no
(05:46) way shape or forms did I expect this video to hit a million views I think the first day it had 300 000 views and I was like what the hell is going on so my formula y’all I’m telling you I’m giving y’all the tea do you hear me the T I like let’s go let’s just do it the formula I used was to leave it on a cliffhanger a cliffhanger meaning I’m not putting too much into the text on the screen because I want you to comment I want you to be like well how did you do this and how did you do that right
(06:19) that’s that’s the whole point we talked about this a little bit in the video I posted on how to make any amount of money in your business whether that’s five thousand ten thousand twenty sixty seventy eighty we talked about that okay so if y’all didn’t watch that video go ahead and watch that video after you finish with this one but that was the formula for all my videos initially was to use trending sounds and put text on screen that would leave it on a cliffhanger y’all don’t let that go over
(06:44) your head another thing that I did that was really helpful to accumulate more views from my other videos was I utilized the playlist option that TikTok has I think there is a certain amount of followers that you have to have before you can like unlock this feature I’m not sure definitely utilize playlists like if you have a business if you have a brand if you’re just doing funny videos if people are into that type of content you’re posting then they’ll have a playlist of where they can just watch your other videos without
(07:12) sorting through them on your page so that came in handy a lot of people liked that and I could see my views when a video would take off I could see the view for the other videos in that playlist taking off as well just because I had to play with so this next thing I want to mention y’all this is something that I completely saw a difference and the growth of this TikTok account was I was posting a lot a lot okay and I’m gonna tell you how I did this I was posting at minimum three to five times per day and I know you’re probably like
(07:43) oh my God that’s a lot but one thing about TikTok baby you better utilize those drafts you better use those drafts y’all I would literally sit for like an hour to knock out a whole bunch of TikToks and just don’t post them I’ll just save them to the draft so I would always have content I would literally have hundreds of drafts at any moment I had content ready to go and it’s not like YouTube or Instagram where you know every post You Gotta Have Yourself dialed up you have to be dressed up you
(08:13) gotta look cute baby to talk I don’t care about none of that you could film yourself in the same place with the same outfit on 20 times it don’t matter listen y’all get out your head TikTok is not like any other platform you can be you they’re craving that they crave that authenticity so posting three to five times per day took it took it to the next level because TikTok was like oh you’re not messing around you appeared to be serious we got you so I know without a doubt me uploading more
(08:42) consistently on that platform made a difference this has something to do with consistency but I don’t know how to explain this very well it’s more of like a gut feeling and I hope that I can articulate this properly where y’all understand what I’m trying to say okay so I will create these videos right and I will save them as drafts I started to notice that for every third video on that fourth or that fifth video that would be the video that would take off so I almost produced like filler videos
(09:12) If y’all know what I mean like let’s say for example I had a video that I really wanted to do well that wouldn’t be the first video I would upload that day it would be like the fourth hopefully y’all get what I’m trying to say I really don’t it was like more of an intuition thing it would be like all right let’s post our first three videos a few hours apart but this video that I really want to do well we’re going to post that towards like six or seven p.
(09:35) m when people are getting off of work and just kind of utilizing things that I’ve just I just know from experience of the actual day of a viewer right so in the morning times people are getting ready for work or getting ready for school so they’re not as active but around lunchtime and around you know when they’re getting off of work and then around at 9 10 p.
(09:58) m when they’re getting ready for bed and you just sitting in your bed on your phone those are just certain things I just know from experience so I would play around with that as well and we’re gonna get into that a little bit later with the posting times because baby let me tell y’all that’s a gym Jam okay now before I continue y’all I want to tell you that I know a lot of y’all struggle with content creation I get it but for me I love content creation I love coming up with the ideas I love seeing it through so I am hosting a brainstorming session
(10:30) Saturday June 17th at 11 A.M Central and it is very limited I want everybody to have a moment to chime in and we can brainstorm and we can brain dump and we can literally just exchange ideas so if you want to be in that room you can secure your seat at the link in the description y’all it’s first come first served so I would honestly pause this video right now go grab your seat and then come back because if you wait by the time this video is over there may not be any seats left all right so I am thinking about doing this once a month
(11:03) on different topics but this first one will be about content creation and we’ll go from there you better get on your Zoom what’s the TikTok you better get on your Zoom you got to get on your Zoom every morning you got to get on your Zoom at 10. all right y’all so the next thing that I did and I noticed right away made a difference from what I wasn’t doing before is I actually focused on the cover image for my video so you know kind of like Instagram where when you upload a reel you have to choose the
(11:32) cover image and most people don’t think that far you have to think that far y’all so if you’re looking on my TikTok account every single video has words on it so it’s basically kind of telling you either what the video is about or just a preview of that text that I created for that video this is very very important think of yourself when you go on a new TikTok account what makes you click on a video is the image it’s just like YouTube It’s the thumbnail so don’t skip that step it’s
(12:01) just kind of like that that thing that you have to just account for when you are creating the video and editing the video speaking of editing all right y’all let’s get into it so I edited most of my videos inside of TikTok that is another thing I think TikTok just favored my videos because they like you’re doing it directly from the sort so if we talk about the videos that I created using trending sound that was obviously directly from TikTok I needed to use the exact sound that was already trending and you know going
(12:31) viral so I had to do it from TikTok another thing that I noticed is when I would use certain features in the platform that would boost the video as well right so if we look at the first video I have on my page I utilize the green screen I was basically talking about YouTube Automation and how you know how to make ten thousand dollars a month or more with YouTube Automation and I gave examples of different channels and I did this with green screen so that video will perform extremely well that video has 300 000
(13:03) views right now let’s look at the engagement it has 300 000 views 25 000 likes 240 comments and 14 000 saves okay like what and then another video which is my one of my best converting videos which actually brought me in sales I think I made like thirty thousand dollars off this one TikTok video which I was not expecting this video I also did a green screen and I was basically showing my journey of how I first started selling digital products I made a hundred dollars my first month and then I showed the Journey of scaling
(13:41) that to a hundred thousand dollars a month so I did that with green screen that video also has 300 000 views over thirty thousand likes over 300 comments in over 19 000 saves like I’m like okay I cracked the code baby we we figured it out this is working and I always tell y’all you don’t have to do a million things you just gotta test some things out double down on what’s working and forget what ain’t working hello so I already know this okay boom me doing these trending sounds that’s popping off
(14:16) we’re gonna keep doing that when I use features and I edit from TikTok that’s giving me a little boost we’re gonna keep doing that I’m being consistent and TikTok really likes that we’re gonna keep doing that you know so it’s just about finding what works y’all but I’m telling y’all it no matter what you do baby if you do one two three of these things if you all 10 of them you’re gonna be good and I told y’all this happened in less than two months it took 43 days I literally
(14:43) screenshotted my growth one thing about me I’m addicted to the growth I’m addicted to the journey in the process and I love to just document it so I’m going to share that with y’all as well but let’s move on to the number four thing okay the number four thing y’all we getting close to the gym we getting close to the goal we’re getting so close number four is I replied to comments in video forms y’all this by far when I first started doing this I said oh yeah this is it this is the money
(15:13) right here this is the money right here oh TikTok likes this we’re gonna keep doing that and one thing that I love that TikTok has is the option to favorite comments so let’s say you see a comment and you want to respond to it but you don’t want to lose it all you gotta do is favor the baby and there’s a whole section for your favorites and you can see all the comments that you have previously favorited so you can just go back and respond to it when you have the time when you you know filming all your
(15:36) videos and you put them in the draft y’all I’m telling you [Music] that combination baby of utilizing the trending sound y’all happy until the psychology of people leaving them on a cliffhanger don’t give them too much don’t give them too much you don’t have to put everything in one video let that go just on Instagram they say YouTube okay it’s TikTok all right and then replying to their comments with a video y’all the two-piece combo we’re gonna call it a two-piece combo y’all
(16:06) that two-piece combo is deadly do you hear me deadly because when you utilize TikTok’s features they like that like they want you to use the features they made like hello that’s why it’s there you know what I’m saying some of my most viewed videos are literally me responding to comments this video 123 000 views all right so let’s move on to number three I said this video wasn’t gonna be too long y’all so number three is I played around with the posting times what I’m about to tell y’all is
(16:37) going to blow your mind because it blew my mind maybe it won’t blow your mind because I know I’m over dramatic play around with the posting time that video I made my first million view video that’s sitting now at 1.9 million views I posted that at midnight at midnight what I used to do on Instagram two three years ago is I played around with posting time and if you are an OG boss bae you already know this I started posting at 12 o’clock 2 am 3 A.M 4 a.
(17:03) m 6 a.m for the night owls if everybody on a platform hear me out hear me out if everybody on the platform is posting during the day it’s so much noise so much noise and here you come posting in the middle of the night for all the people that’s up for all the people that are in other parts of the world hello there’s your video waiting to be grabbed up I told y’all that first day it got like 300 000 views I was like what the hell remember what I said y’all you doubled down on what’s working so you mean to tell me if
(17:37) I post at 12 I’m gonna get 300 000 views I’m gonna post at 12 again hello hello my most viewed video which is sitting at seven million views was posted at 3 A.M 3 A.M I posted it and one thing about it you can’t schedule posts on TikTok baby you gotta be up guess what I was doing I was setting alarms I was setting alarms wake up at 3am post this video go back to sleep wake up and you got hundreds of thousands of views y’all this is it’s right here I’m not making it up it’s right here
(18:15) you see it hello that seven million viewed video brought so much hate so many trolls but do you think I care you think I care because that seven million view video also has 753 000 likes y’all that’s almost a million likes that’s also a four second video with the text on the screen tapping into psychology are y’all hearing me I’m giving you the juice this may be my favorite video thus far because it can literally change your life this is a video that if you apply what I’m telling y’all you can see results instantly I
(18:51) got a lot of gems on my channel but most of them take work and takes time this ain’t one of them baby you can do this today okay you can be up 10 000 more followers this next week if y’all are paying attention if y’all are taking y’all notes if y’all want this big Bank so that video also has 2600 comments I probably have blocked at least a thousand people from this video though and over 235 000 downloads what I ain’t gonna lie though after I posted that video I took a break I was like oh TikTok it’s too much
(19:31) I know I just like my little hub my people who know me because the other thing about TikTok I’m gonna tell y’all that’s at the end let’s let’s run through the rest sorry y’all y’all know I like to talk so number two we’re getting down to the final two y’all these two things baby change everything you hear me changed everything the number two thing is I was very strategic with my panned videos so you get up to three videos that you can pan at the top of your page and people will
(20:06) just paint anything people a lot of the times people will pin their most viral TikTok like that’s the only like they want you to know I got a million views no baby be very strategic with the pen video so one of my pen videos is a video of me replying to somebody’s comment in a video and she’s commented I’ll be gatekeeping with the info like me jazz on yay Jazz you can’t be talking about me gatekeeper who who who baby who gatekeeper me me girl I was in shock I was like I was seven I was too stunned to speak
(20:46) okay anyways I took that as an opportunity to use my TikTok features and I brought out the green screen yeah and I talked my and I showed my channel gatekeeper who baby I’m the queen of the resources are you serious right now so anyways that is my pen video that video brought me over 9 000 new subscribers okay because it was pinned at the top of my page are y’all picking up what I’m putting down please if y’all are picking this up can I get some gems can I get some hearts can I get some sprinkle sprinkles in the
(21:22) comment like like give me something and let me know y’all here with me right now okay that video has over 82 000 views 82 000 views and another thing I would do is I would promote my panned videos in my other videos so I’ll be like you know check out the pin video for more info so I’m sending traffic every day as I’m uploading new videos y’all get what I’m saying and then another pen video that’s the other one with the Journey of how I you know started making a hundred dollars my
(21:56) first month selling digital products that stayed there because that brought in like 30k for me promoting my products in a way of using the green screen again y’all don’t let that go over your head use your pen video strategically don’t just put your most viral video on there because you want people to know you get views we don’t care about that okay to piggyback off of that another thing I would do is if I was uploading videos around a certain topic like I was talking about YouTube automation for a
(22:26) while I would have one of those pen videos about YouTube automation that you know I may have done a lot of information on it and then my other videos I’m pointing you back to that video raising the views pointing you back you get what I’m saying hopefully y’all understand what I’m saying this would change somebody’s life ah moving on to number one y’all number one I’m really giving it to y’all do y’all hear me I if you have not gave this video a thumbs up I’m about to come
(22:56) through the screen because I see you and I don’t care if you’re on your phone watching from Sephora you better go to the YouTube app okay on your TV okay give this video a thumbs up please thank you that lets me know y’all at least enjoyed it maybe you too lazy to comment that’s fine but you can at least hit that that thumb like be for real the number one thing y’all I don’t know where I first heard this but I saw it in somebody TikTok video I can’t remember the Creator I’m
(23:26) so sorry someone said that the more time somebody watches your TikTok video the more TikTok pushes it out that’s why those videos are shorter than seven seconds perform the best because most people will watch it again and watch it again so that’s two to three views per person so what that tells me little old me is that I need people to watch this over and over so if I’m putting text on the screen hello y’all listen if you ain’t picked up nothing else I said I need you to pick this up mm-hmm
(23:56) what that told me is I’m only leaving texts on screen for three to four seconds at a time so if I’m doing something in a video and I got multiple texts I’m putting on screen it’s only stand up three seconds that first part three seconds but here comes next part three seconds because you miss it you only you can’t even finish reading it that’s what you gotta do watch it over but seriously y’all that’s number one and people comment I can’t read it I’ve been watching three times
(24:25) sprinkle sprinkle sprinkle y’all sprinkle sprinkles so those things is what allowed me to gain over 90 000 followers in 43 days over 10 million views and money was made y’all know I’m gonna get the money so I don’t really care about those numbers we care about that so again if y’all want to get on your Zoom and kick it with me on zoom and we can brainstorm some content ideas for you I need you to go secure EOC Saturday June 17th 11 A.
(24:59) M central time okay y’all have to check your own time zone to see when that is you have to be there you have to be present if you are not available do not get a seat and take that seat from somebody else please please don’t do that because there will not be a replay even for you if you in there there’s no replay so show up on time and be alert and be present I’ll see y’all on Yazoo now another thing I want to know about TikTok is I am pivoting I am moving in a New Direction this is my last year
(25:27) creating educational content so I am already you know planning that transition and I will be transitioning my TikTok so I’m not really sure how this is going to go but so far so good I’m pivoting away from the trending sounds and everything basically that I just told y’all because of the new content I will be creating now there’s more than one way to skin a cat y’all okay training sounds work I showed you please present a pudding baby but other things also work and another thing that really works on TikTok is
(25:56) storytelling and I and I’m too exceed at that as well talk my yeah yeah I love storytelling I love getting people riled up I love waiting for the climax I love just being animated when I talk about things and TikTok loves that so I already have a video on my TikTok account but basically my move out the country I already gave y’all My Little Life Update I do not live in America if you don’t know I actually live in Mexico right now and I basically did a video on that and it performed very well so that is the
(26:28) new type of content that I will be transitioning into and remember how I also said that I was editing these videos inside of TikTok but for that type of content absolutely not absolutely not I won’t be doing it so those videos are edited outside of TikTok I also have another TikTok account that I don’t use nearly as much but I have a video on that one as well that had like a hundred and sixty thousand views and it was also a storytelling like type of video where I was going to get my hair done and I set
(26:58) it up to where you know I knew people was going to think it wasn’t going to come out well and it came out beautifully but storytelling is extremely valuable on TikTok and that is the new pivoted Direction I’m going in and like I said y’all I won’t be editing these on TikTok I’ll be editing them outside of the app so if you really don’t know how to edit if you are a complete beginner a platform that is super super good for beginners is in video I talked about in video in a different video of mine where it was a
(27:24) sponsored video from them but their editing software is literally like chef’s kiss if you don’t know nothing about nothing because they actually give you video templates that you can literally use and just plug in your videos and go from there and you got a beautiful video like somebody professional did it so I’ll leave their information in the description something else that they’re doing I haven’t seen yet and I may do a different video on this because it’s about Ai and I’m trying to talk about AI more but girls
(27:49) just so much to keep up with in the AI space they actually have something I have not seen y’all it’s phenomenal but it’s terrifying because it’s like damn the future is here but they basically have a video editing AI which will allow you to create videos by basically just telling AI what you wanted to do what you want to see in the video they’re light years they have anybody with their technology so I will leave their information in the description y’all I think the AI editing is still on the
(28:15) wait list I’m on the wait list I’m like I need that definitely look into that y’all using video again I have a whole nother video on my Channel about in video and I’ll link that in the description as well I said I was going to show y’all my journey and if you want to see that I’ll just put that here so I literally have an album titled TikTok growth and it was about my TikTok July 2022 I had 104 followers and that was me like I said y’all basically repurposing my YouTube videos and just
(28:43) putting it on TikToks no traction I was doing that for a while getting a little growth a little growth little by little doing that is what got me my first thousand followers and that took about one week to hit a thousand one week one week okay now now if we go to when I decided to switch it up I was hitting five ten thousand followers in days in days it’s like what the hell is going on y’all can just see here how the number is literally just going up one day I went from 3 300 followers to 9 000. y’all can see the date November
(29:17) 16th to November 17th that’s 6 000 followers in one day and you can even see the likes go up it went from 31 000 likes to ninety five thousand likes and then that same day I hit 10K and it went to 103 000 likes and then the next day I hit 15K and then the next day I hit 18K and then the next day 19 day two days later 24K one week later I was at forty thousand y’all this is crazy so yeah it took 43 days and I have not been as consistent because like I said y’all TikTok is just real you know it’s a younger crowd
(30:01) um and it is people who don’t know you and they’re just looking for something to complain about most times and girl I don’t be for all that like I’ve been needing my breaks but I do believe that it was also due to the nature of the content I’m creating because it is about making money and they just perceive that type of content now in such a Negative light which is also another reason I want to get out of this space because it’s like yeah you can sit here and listen to me for free with no problem
(30:28) but the minute I tell you I have an actual class for sale with even more valuable information now now the world is ending it’s just a different energy over there and I’m hoping that with me transitioning more into travel and more into fashion and more into lifestyle content that I will attract a different breed I’m hoping that y’all can stay up to date with my TikTok Journey you know if you want to follow me if you aren’t already that’s fine I’m ending this video y’all it was not supposed to
(30:56) be this long girl I got carried away but I hope y’all enjoyed it nonetheless all the links are in the description and I will see y’all in my next video [Music]
