Full transcript

1. 0:00Last night I was watching a video of
2. 0:03Jack Conte. So if you don't know who
3. 0:04Jack Conte is, he is just like me but a
4. 0:07way better person in the YouTube space.
5. 0:10He
6. 0:11is [snorts] someone I've been following
7. 0:12for 2 whole years. I will show you the
8. 0:14account right now. So this is Jack
9. 0:16Conte. He basically makes videos about
10. 0:18of himself starting different YouTube
11. 0:20shows channels. As you can see he has
12. 0:22249,000
13. 0:24subscribers in just 15 long form videos
14. 0:27on this and he rarely uploads like every
15. 0:304 or 5 months and every video I have
16. 0:32watched of his was an absolute amazing
17. 0:35video which I would get to learn from
18. 0:36every single thing like from the from
19. 0:39the down. I would literally learn like
20. 0:41so much from the video. So
21. 0:43I made a full document as you can see
22. 0:46out here.
23. 0:47So that we can analyze the video and
24. 0:50figure out how we can replicate the
25. 0:53exact same process, the exact same
26. 0:56strategy and build our shorts channel in
27. 0:59the next 14 days itself. I will be
28. 1:01experimenting it but I will let you know
29. 1:03about that. Till that time if you will
30. 1:05love if you will love this content make
31. 1:07sure to hit the subscribe button and
32. 1:09follow Create with Zio on Instagram
33. 1:11also. We have our you uh our grow
34. 1:16with YouTube winter our growth series
35. 1:18where I'm posting for 120 days straight
36. 1:20about how to make content. So you can go
37. 1:23follow me on Instagram also. So let's
38. 1:25get into it. So the video itself was
39. 1:29I'll just take you to the page right
40. 1:30away.
41. 1:31It is about blowing up a beginner's
42. 1:34YouTube channel in 7 days. I saw the
43. 1:36full video. Although it was a bit more
44. 1:38than 7 days but we got to learn a lot
45. 1:40from it. So the channel which he is
46. 1:42talking about and he had made is called
47. 1:44Tested and Proved has 11,000 subscribers
48. 1:47and just four videos made. As you can
49. 1:50see here one of the videos has 15
50. 1:52million views. The other one has 160,
51. 1:55132 and the other last one has 518,000
52. 1:58views. So, isn't that really amazing?
53. 2:00Like people have a dream to even get
54. 2:02like 20 21,000 views also some of them,
55. 2:06but more of like the 20 25k views are
56. 2:08the dream. And like a million views is
57. 2:09the obviously everybody's dream. It was
58. 2:11my dream, but now I completed it, so
59. 2:15So,
60. 2:16what does his video talk about
61. 2:18basically? So,
62. 2:21I made a fresh document ready to analyze
63. 2:24along with you. So, because we obviously
64. 2:26can't see the video because of the need
65. 2:28to copyright issues.
66. 2:29So,
67. 2:30the niche he got into.
68. 2:33He would decide a niche where there
69. 2:36would be an existing video
70. 2:39of another creator.
71. 2:42Give value-added editing, make it a
72. 2:44short, edit it, make it valuable, and
73. 2:48post it. That is basically called
74. 2:51clipping, where we take other people's
75. 2:53content according to YouTube
76. 2:55monetization policies, make it our own,
77. 2:58make it refine it, make it look better,
78. 3:00look it as our own, and post it
79. 3:02according to YouTube's policies. It is
80. 3:04completely legal to clip. So,
81. 3:07what was the niche going to be decided
82. 3:10upon? So, in this case I would thought
83. 3:12you would give a name for the niche, but
84. 3:15instead of giving a name for the niche,
85. 3:17he more of gave a channel for the niche.
86. 3:20What I mean is that he
87. 3:23specified the type of channel he wants
88. 3:25to clip content from in order
89. 3:29to make his shorts go viral within a
90. 3:32short amount of time. So, the first
91. 3:34thing is time efficient,
92. 3:36which has enough content in one video in
93. 3:39order to make a perfect YouTube short of
94. 3:41probably 30 45 seconds and 1 minute.
95. 3:45The next one is beginner-friendly.
96. 3:46Obviously, you might be a beginner who's
97. 3:48watching this video.
98. 3:50You would want to start a
99. 3:53one from scratch. So, it is
100. 3:54beginner-friendly. And the third one is
101. 3:56low competition. So, the channel he
102. 3:59basically had
103. 4:00um
104. 4:01decided to go with was a channel called
105. 4:03NileRed Blue where I believe he is into
106. 4:07more of the physics and chemistry part
107. 4:08and like um does wild experiments, which
108. 4:12is 30 20
109. 4:15Okay, so this is NileRed Blue's channel.
110. 4:16So,
111. 4:18this is the channel they decided to
112. 4:19replicate.
113. 4:22So, NileRed Blue has 3.5 million
114. 4:24subscribers and 160 videos. So, he has a
115. 4:26lot of popular videos, which we can take
116. 4:28the clips from. But,
117. 4:30what Jack Conte had specified in his
118. 4:32video was
119. 4:33that if you want to make a short,
120. 4:35you have to make it on some topic that
121. 4:37people know about. If I talk about a
122. 4:39bismuth knife in my video,
123. 4:43do people even know what a bismuth knife
124. 4:45is? I mean, if they are a very elite
125. 4:48knowledgeable person, who would know
126. 4:50what it is, sure. But, not everyone is
127. 4:53like that. So, Red Bull is known around
128. 4:55the world. So, we're going to go with
129. 4:56Red Bull. But, let's first search
130. 4:59make the making the world's
131. 5:03most powerful Red Bull.
132. 5:09First would come his, right?
133. 5:11First would come his. And then, this is
134. 5:13Jack Conte's YouTube short. So,
135. 5:17we can see
136. 5:19that there is literally no other video
137. 5:26of the same topic. That means the
138. 5:29competition
139. 5:31is low.
140. 5:32That is what Jack Conte was trying to
141. 5:34say.
142. 5:35Find things that are low competition,
143. 5:37but recognizable by the audience like
144. 5:39Red Bull in order to make a short.
145. 5:42That was what made me
146. 5:44That's what made me change about YouTube
147. 5:46shorts. I thought like YouTube shots
148. 5:47would be like more of
149. 5:49high known people or like reels that
150. 5:53have gone super viral. But,
151. 5:56if we dig deeper,
152. 5:57if we find low competition niches
153. 6:01that have a huge gold mine rush right
154. 6:03now,
155. 6:04why not take it?
156. 6:05So,
157. 6:07he had taken this video and he had
158. 6:10analyzed it in order to make this. Let
159. 6:13me just go back to the word document.
160. 6:15Okay.
161. 6:17So,
162. 6:18this is the video ideation he had told
163. 6:21in his video. He had told it in his two
164. 6:22previous videos also.
165. 6:24I didn't I wasn't able to
166. 6:26uh tell, but
167. 6:28let's see the video ideation. First is
168. 6:30the hook, obviously. Everyone knows the
169. 6:32hook.
170. 6:33Okay.
171. 6:34Then is the rising action.
172. 6:37Rising action, obviously, to make the
173. 6:39viewer even more impressed. After that,
174. 6:42conflict. What is happening? Something
175. 6:44is gone wrong.
176. 6:45Probably. But, you will prove the with a
177. 6:48comeback out here, a comeback. The
178. 6:50comeback is the one that gets you back
179. 6:52on the track.
180. 6:53Then there's more rising action that
181. 6:55makes the person want to stay, the
182. 6:57viewer want to stay. And then comes the
183. 6:59payoff.
184. 7:00And that is simply
185. 7:03how Jack Conte was able to make one of
186. 7:05his videos like this.
187. 7:08It
188. 7:09is really amazing that it got 15 million
189. 7:11views the very first upload.
190. 7:15It's amazing, right? People want to see
191. 7:16this. So,
192. 7:19out here,
193. 7:20tested and proved,
194. 7:22it's almost 16 million views in total, I
195. 7:24believe. So,
196. 7:27video ideation complete completion
197. 7:29compulsion. Is that same thing table
198. 7:33which I showed y'all. Let me just see.
199. 7:35Let me just show y'all.
200. 7:39Time efficient, beginner friendly, and
201. 7:41low competition. So,
202. 7:45as of now, I have more or less
203. 7:47understood how Jack Creg is trying to
204. 7:49say.
205. 7:50And also, one more thing I didn't
206. 7:52mention in this.
207. 7:54You don't have to be that
208. 7:57frequent to make the videos. You don't
209. 8:00have to upload every day. You don't have
210. 8:02to upload every two or three days. You
211. 8:04can upload it according to what I would
212. 8:08want to call the Jack Creg effect.
213. 8:12If you see
214. 8:13the video
215. 8:15is going up viral, when it is getting a
216. 8:18lot of views, when it's being pushed,
217. 8:19never upload a video at that time. It
218. 8:21will just ruin your views on that next
219. 8:25video.
220. 8:27He has tested and proved it. That's the
221. 8:29same name as his channel name, by the
222. 8:30way. He has tested it, but when the
223. 8:32video was going viral on a different
224. 8:34channel, he had uploaded another short,
225. 8:36but that short ended up getting, guess
226. 8:38what? Only 100 views.
227. 8:43Can you believe that? I like wouldn't
228. 8:44you expect more views to come in like
229. 8:47because there are more people viewing
230. 8:49his video and probably visiting his own
231. 8:51YouTube channel, wouldn't you expect
232. 8:53more? I mean, yes, but that is not the
233. 8:55case. That
234. 8:58he is trying to say that when the you
235. 9:01see the views are going down
236. 9:03consistently for like a day or two or if
237. 9:08your video is not going viral and the
238. 9:12views per hour in your YouTube studio
239. 9:15are showing less than 100 for 12 whole
240. 9:19hours,
241. 9:20at the 13th hour or one or two hours
242. 9:22after that, that's the perfect time to
243. 9:24upload a video. If you didn't understand
244. 9:25my talk, let me say it again. Let me
245. 9:27write it in the document itself.
246. 9:31And again, this is just uploading
247. 9:33another screenshot how he made it. And
248. 9:34he he also made description as a thing.
249. 9:36He then leave the description open.
250. 9:39So,
251. 9:40what I want to really say is this.
252. 9:45If you see your video at less than 100
253. 9:52views per hour
254. 9:54for 12 hours,
255. 9:56that's the time to upload your video
256. 10:01that has a good
257. 10:05video ideation, as I said.
258. 10:07Okay? Or if your video is going viral,
259. 10:10but it is going consistently
260. 10:13down, if it is going down consistently,
261. 10:16then that is the time to upload a
262. 10:18YouTube video.
263. 10:19So, this is Jack Conte's video
264. 10:23summarized to us right in front of us.
