Full transcript
- 0:00one of the things I don't like about
- 0:01YouTube is that it's very easy to think
- 0:03that you have to be a guru a guru says
- 0:06this is what you should do a guide says
- 0:08hey here's how I did it and maybe it can
- 0:10work for you it means that creating
- 0:12videos becomes a way more effortless
- 0:15thing you don't have to be a guru you
- 0:16can be a guide you got to just press
- 0:18record hey what's up Sean Cano here with
- 0:20think media in today's episode we are
- 0:22bringing you a clip from our recent grow
- 0:25with video Summit with Ali abdal where
- 0:27he revealed how he outlines and SC RS
- 0:30his videos now there's so many nuggets
- 0:33in this training you're going to love it
- 0:35and by the way if you want to jump on
- 0:36the wait list for the next grow with
- 0:38video Summit where we bring together
- 0:40some of today's top video experts so you
- 0:42can learn their secrets there's a link
- 0:44to join the wait list in the description
- 0:46down below all right let's jump into the
- 0:49content with Ali abdall we start off
- 0:51with a concept which is sort of
- 0:52something about selfworth going up now I
- 0:56need to think about title thumbnail and
- 0:57hook so how to raise your self worth
- 1:00what I'm thinking about is that is this
- 1:02really the best framing for this topic
- 1:04like what is the framing of this video
- 1:06that would make this have the best
- 1:09chance of getting views So Okay so we've
- 1:11got self-esteem from Psych to go watch
- 1:14this if you're struggling with your self
- 1:15worth 1.2 million views that seems
- 1:17promising essentially well I'll just go
- 1:19through YouTube and I'll think okay
- 1:21other than the title of how to raise
- 1:23yourself worth is there a better way of
- 1:25framing this video is it about
- 1:26self-esteem is it about self-worth is it
- 1:28about not caring what what other people
- 1:30think is it about how to be more
- 1:32confident in yourself okay how to be
- 1:35more confident could I frame a video
- 1:37about selfworth based on confidence this
- 1:40is sort of the thought process because
- 1:42you know one of the things that I've
- 1:43really realized about YouTube over time
- 1:45is that 80% of the value is in these two
- 1:49things literally 80% it's the concept
- 1:52the title and the thumbnail and the hook
- 1:54if you can get this stuff right it like
- 1:57massively increases your chances of this
- 1:59of this video potentially going big and
- 2:01potentially growing your channel which
- 2:02is why it's worth not just going with
- 2:04the first title that comes to mind how
- 2:05to raise yourself worth but to think
- 2:07about like what are the different
- 2:08alternative framings of this title that
- 2:10I could potentially do something around
- 2:12confidence seems to be getting more
- 2:14views than something around selfworth
- 2:16now crucially I can still make a video
- 2:19about selfworth but the packaging of the
- 2:21video is just in the initial framing of
- 2:23it I know I want to do a video about
- 2:25selfworth and if I can frame it in the
- 2:28language of confidence what might that
- 2:29look like like this is literally what we
- 2:30go through when we do our thingy and we
- 2:32think okay cool what's Point number one
- 2:34what's Point number two and what's Point
- 2:35number three okay so if I were doing
- 2:37this video how to raise yourself Worth
- 2:39or how to become more confident I would
- 2:41be kind of Point number one would be get
- 2:44out of your own
- 2:48way where I would say something about
- 2:51kind of most of the blockers that hold
- 2:52us back are internal blockers we think
- 2:55that it's actually external
- 2:56circumstances but actually it's internal
- 2:58blockers Etc that's Point number one
- 3:00the next thing I'm going to say is that
- 3:04competence equals
- 3:07confidence so it's very hard to have
- 3:09high self-worth if you've never done
- 3:10anything interesting some might say so
- 3:13competence equals confidence equals
- 3:14evidence and the third thing I would say
- 3:18is um affirmations or something I
- 3:21actually think affirmations are great
- 3:22affirmations and
- 3:24mantras okay good these are the only
- 3:27three things I'm saying in this video
- 3:29the video is about how to raise yourself
- 3:31Worth or how to be more confident or
- 3:32something like that I'll finalize the
- 3:33title get out of your own way competence
- 3:35equals confidence affirmations and
- 3:36mantras are like a nice thing to do then
- 3:39I have a uh video creation framework
- 3:43that's called the hives framework H
- 3:45stands for hook I stands for intro v
- 3:48stands for value and e s stands for end
- 3:51screen sales
- 3:54pitch if you guys don't know this
- 3:56already the think media gang have done
- 3:58some solid videos talking about this as
- 3:59well
- 4:00at the end of your videos we don't want
- 4:01to hear any of this that's like like
- 4:03comment subscribe blah blah blah as soon
- 4:05as the audience gets even a whiff that
- 4:07the video is about to end they will

- 4:36off and you'll see your end screen like
- 4:37retention absolutely plummet we want an
- 4:39end screen sales pitch we've got we want
- 4:41a hook to me the hook is just the
- 4:44promise I think with educational content
- 4:46hooks are easy enough the think media
- 4:47YouTube channel is actually actually
- 4:48does a really good job of hooks we often
- 4:50use think media's YouTube channel as a
- 4:52thing uh as like an example when we
- 4:54teach sessions for our own YouTuber
- 4:56Academy cuz you guys do a really good
- 4:57job of you know I remember one of one of
- 4:59Omar videos was in this video I'm going
- 5:01to show you how to set up the perfect
- 5:03Studio setup with a budget with under
- 5:05$100 let's get into it it's like oh
- 5:08that's a nice hook Omar elor is telling
- 5:11me exactly what I'm getting in this
- 5:12video cuz essentially when someone
- 5:14clicks on the title in thumbnail what
- 5:15we're doing is we're creating an
- 5:17expectation in the viewer's mind so the
- 5:19think media video of how to set up your
- 5:21studio with under
- 5:22$100 I click on that video expecting to
- 5:25learn how to set up a studio for under
- 5:26$1100 now with educational content I can
- 5:30get away with my hook basically just
- 5:31being the title of the video so if my
- 5:34title of the video is how to raise your
- 5:35self worth or how to be more confident
- 5:37in this video I'm going to share my top
- 5:39three tips for how you can be more
- 5:41confident easy that's a hook that's the
- 5:44promise we don't need to overthink it
- 5:46the nice thing about educational
- 5:47channels is we don't need to do oh my
- 5:49God guys in this video we're going to
- 5:50give a million dollars to the person
- 5:52who's got the highest self-confidence
- 5:53and we're going to go on a trip and
- 5:54we're also going to do this and we're
- 5:55also going to that sort of stuff is kind
- 5:59of necessary the world of entertainment
- 6:00thankfully it's not massively uh
- 6:02necessary in the world of Education if
- 6:04what you have to say is sufficiently
- 6:06valuable so the hook is just the promise
- 6:08in this video we're going to go over
- 6:09three tips that you can use to level up
- 6:11your selfworth and your confidence
- 6:12especially in situations where you're
- 6:13struggling next up we have an intro now
- 6:16the intro is optional but if there's
- 6:18only one thing that you take away from
- 6:19this talk I would recommend you figure
- 6:22out what your intro would be you don't
- 6:25have to include an intro in every video
- 6:28but I personally think it's a good idea
- 6:30an intro is who are you and why should
- 6:32the audience care who are you and why
- 6:34should the audience care in my humble
- 6:36opinion the point of the intro is to
- 6:38explain who you are welcome the audience
- 6:40to your channel and give them a sense of
- 6:43your credibility what is interesting
- 6:45about you that would you know audiences
- 6:47are paying for your video they're not
- 6:48paying with their dollars they're paying
- 6:50with their time and their attention
- 6:52which is even more valuable than money
- 6:54so what is it about you that is that is
- 6:57deserving of their time and attention
- 6:59you can do that within your intro so for
- 7:01example for me seven years ago I started
- 7:03make making videos aimed at medical
- 7:05school applicants in the UK and so I
- 7:07would say hey guys welcome back to the
- 7:08channel if you're new here my name is
- 7:09Ali I'm a final gear medical student at
- 7:12Cambridge University and in this video
- 7:14I'm going to talk about how to do your
- 7:16interview prep if you're applying to med
- 7:18school the fact that I'm a final year
- 7:20medical student at Cambridge University
- 7:22is a massive flex and it's social proof
- 7:25and it's credibility and it's like oh
- 7:27this guy knows his stuff that's why he's
- 7:29is talking about this I was giving a
- 7:31talk yesterday um at this sort of
- 7:33marketing conference and I called on
- 7:35someone in the audience and she makes
- 7:36videos about public speaking and she has
- 7:39been a public speaking coach for 10
- 7:41years and has had 30 years of experience
- 7:43as a singer songwriter traveling around
- 7:45the world and doing performances in
- 7:47public so her intro should be like hey
- 7:50everyone my name is Lisa I've I spent 30
- 7:52years touring the world as a single
- 7:53songwriter and so I'm very familiar with
- 7:54the stage and I've been coaching public
- 7:56speaking for the last 10 years that's
- 7:58why in this video we're going to be
- 7:59talking about public speaking blah blah
- 8:00blah blah blah blah it is so much easier
- 8:02to grow a YouTube channel when you
- 8:03actually have some real world
- 8:05credibility for the thing that you
- 8:07trying to teach in the world of
- 8:08Education yes you could be a 17-year-old
- 8:11life coach if you really want to but
- 8:13it's very hard to grow a YouTube channel
- 8:15as a 17-year-old life coach if anyone
- 8:18here is over the age of 30 like me I
- 8:20turned 30 like a couple weeks ago you're
- 8:22actually at an advantage in educational
- 8:24content because a lot of YouTubers are
- 8:26targeting people who are kids they want
- 8:28to go for the views they're playing The
- 8:29Fame game they're like oh I want my
- 8:31videos to go viral but really videos go
- 8:33viral when they appeal to young people
- 8:35and if your Channel or your business and
- 8:37ideally both appeals to people who are
- 8:39slightly older people in their 30s 40s
- 8:40or 50s people in their 30s tend to have
- 8:42money people in their teens and 20s tend
- 8:44to be broke it is very difficult to
- 8:46build a business catering to broke
- 8:47people it's a lot easier to build a
- 8:49business catering to people who actually
- 8:50have money so your intro I think should
- 8:53be some sort of thing that like explains
- 8:56who you are and why you are credible so
- 8:59for for example self-worth and
- 9:00confidence here is what I would do hook
- 9:03in this video we're going to talk about
- 9:04my top three tips for raising your
- 9:06selfworth so that you can be more
- 9:07confident in any situation hey friends
- 9:10welcome back to the channel if you're
- 9:11new here my name is Ali I'm a doctor
- 9:12turned entrepreneur and I'm the author
- 9:13of The New York Times bestseller
- 9:15Feelgood productivity Flex flex and you
- 9:18know I've been making YouTube videos now
- 9:19for 7 years and in that time I've made
- 9:20over 900 YouTube videos now when I
- 9:23started out I was super unconfident I
- 9:25had very low self-worth I had imposter
- 9:27syndrome all the time and now 7 years
- 9:29later I've learned so much along the way
- 9:31and I've learned all these strategies
- 9:32and tools that I can I can use to be
- 9:34more confident and now I feel like I
- 9:35genuinely do love myself I genuinely
- 9:37have high selfworth and I get invited to
- 9:39give talks and do stuff live and it's
- 9:41just super fun and so in this video I
- 9:43really want to share everything I've
- 9:44learned along the
- 9:45way hook intro and why why am the person
- 9:49to do this crucially you don't need to
- 9:51have you don't need to have major Flex
- 9:53credentials one major kind of Flex one
- 9:56major credential you could have is just
- 9:58the fact that you used to struggle with
- 10:00the thing and now you don't struggle
- 10:02with it anymore so you have learned
- 10:04something along the way it's one of the
- 10:06things I don't like about YouTube is
- 10:08that it's very easy to think that you
- 10:10have to be a guru a guru is someone who
- 10:12has all the answers but I don't like
- 10:14being a guru I prefer to be a guide a
- 10:16guru says this is what you should do a
- 10:19guide says hey here's how I did it and
- 10:21maybe it can work for you you don't have
- 10:24to be a guru you can be a guide so if
- 10:26you like me and you struggle with being
- 10:27a guru and like you look at I don't know
- 10:30clickfunnel sales pages and stuff and
- 10:32you think oh it's a bit much it feels
- 10:34too salesy don't worry you don't have to
- 10:36be a guru you can just be a guide and so
- 10:38reiterating in your intro that actually
- 10:40this topic is this thing that you've
- 10:41learned about is something you have
- 10:42personal experience in that can really
- 10:44help help viewers feel more relaxed feel
- 10:46more like they can trust you and it's a
- 10:48thing that you can just do for any video
- 10:50then you give them the value which is
- 10:510.1 point2 and3 and then you give them
- 10:52the end screen sales page and now the
- 10:54video is done and honestly this is the
- 10:56level of prep I do for most of my videos
- 10:590.1 point two and3 maybe I'll write it
- 11:01out notion of it maybe I'll add a few
- 11:03bullet points to be like okay competence
- 11:05equals confidence maybe I want to site
- 11:07this study um I think I I'll use uh
- 11:10bandura's um self-efficacy because I'm
- 11:13I'm familiar with the research around it
- 11:15maybe I can talk about my book there yep
- 11:18cool that's fine affirmations and
- 11:19mantras I can talk about manifestation
- 11:21and how that works um I can talk about
- 11:26um HEBs law in neur signs that neurons
- 11:30that fire together wire together and so
- 11:31actually if you repeat something often
- 11:33enough to yourself you genuinely start
- 11:35to believe the thing okay cool yep I can
- 11:36talk about that so that makes it a bit
- 11:38juicier and getting out of your own way
- 11:39internal blockers well h i can talk
- 11:42about how 80% of all issues are
- 11:44emotional issues when it comes to
- 11:46business when it comes to YouTube when
- 11:48it comes to anything I don't really have
- 11:49any data for that stat but that's fine
- 11:51and okay cool yep I'm ready to film the
- 11:53video this is literally the process that
- 11:55I use to make videos and this is what
- 11:56I've been doing for the last 900 plus
- 11:57videos on my channel over the last 7
- 11:59years Years cuz I found that when I have
- 12:01to spend freaking ages trying to
- 12:02research the topic it takes the joy out
- 12:05of it it makes it take way too long and
- 12:08ideally I would like to make a YouTube
- 12:10channel that is a guide it's not a guru
- 12:13a guide doesn't need to do research a
- 12:14guide can just say hey I've done this
- 12:16thing and here's what I've learned along
- 12:17the way and I hope you find it useful
- 12:19this is hook intro value and Screen
- 12:21sales pitch this is the method that I
- 12:23use to try and kind of be more
- 12:25consistent and it means that creating
- 12:28videos becomes a way more effortless
