You Will Hate This, But It’ll Grow Your Social Media 10x Faster — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Today we're talking about growing faster
- 0:01on social media. If you want to actually
- 0:03cut through all the noise and slop
- 0:06that's happening on the feed, this video
- 0:08will explain exactly how to do it. There
- 0:10are six patterns I'm consistently seeing
- 0:12from all the top channels right now. And
- 0:14these are the people that are still
- 0:15outperforming despite all the copycats
- 0:18and competition. Now, most of these
- 0:19things are nonobvious, but if you want
- 0:21to grow faster and keep winning in this
- 0:24era, these are the six areas where
- 0:26you're going to get alpha right now. For
- 0:28each one, I'll break down what the
- 0:29opportunity is and exactly how you can
- 0:31take advantage. By the way, if you don't
- 0:32know me, my name is Callaway. I have two
- 0:34million followers. I've done billions of
- 0:36views, and content is all I do all day
- 0:38long. All right, the first one is called
- 0:40Visual Moes. If you spent time on social
- 0:42media in the last couple weeks, you have
- 0:44seen no less than hundreds of videos
- 0:46talking about AI editing with Claude. In
- 0:48short, you can now have Claude or Chat
- 0:50GBT edit your videos just by chatting
- 0:53back and forth. No need for a human
- 0:54editor. It only takes a couple of hours
- 0:56and you can have your video edited on
- 0:58auto. Now, on the surface, this is a
- 1:00massive unlock. Editing was the one
- 1:02thing that was preventing most people
- 1:04from getting started with content. And
- 1:05so, in theory, boom, problem is now
- 1:07solved. But if you watch all of these AI
- 1:10edited videos, they all seem to have the
- 1:12same look and feel. And that will again
- 1:14lead to a sea of sameness. Now, there
- 1:17are of course ways that you can adjust,
- 1:19fine-tune, and customize these AI
- 1:21workflows so that the output seems a
- 1:23little bit more custom to you. But like
- 1:24most things, 95% of people won't. The
- 1:27supply of these AI edited videos will a
- 1:291000x and you'll see these crowding out
- 1:31and diluting in the feed over the next 3
- 1:33months. This is the same type of over
- 1:35supply that happened with yapping
- 1:37because of the yap challenges,
- 1:38storytelling vlogs before that and so
- 1:40on. What happens in an AI world where
- 1:42everyone is paying attention to everyone
- 1:44is that anytime there is an arbitrage,
- 1:46it gets closed extremely quickly and
- 1:48that advantage gets competed away. So,
- 1:50if you want to keep standing out and
- 1:52maintain your growth, what do you do?
- 1:54Well, one of the areas where I think you
- 1:55can unlock huge alpha over the next 6 to
- 1:5812 months is building a visual moat that
- 2:01can't easily be replicated. This is
- 2:03essentially crafting a visual style that
- 2:05is instantly unique on the feed. Now, it
- 2:07does take a little bit more work to put
- 2:08this in place, but once you do, you will
- 2:10have a significant advantage. To be
- 2:12clear, when I say visual mode, what I'm
- 2:14really alluding to is this concept of a
- 2:16signature visual style. And visual
- 2:18styles are made up of six different
- 2:19dimensions. You've got you as the
- 2:21character, what you wear, where you sit,
- 2:24the shot angle, how you come across on
- 2:25screen. You've got your set, the
- 2:27background, the colors, the objects, the
- 2:30mood, the vibe. You've got your visual
- 2:32selection, the graphics you use, the
- 2:34B-roll you use, the way you show it on
- 2:36screen. You've got your layout, which is
- 2:38the way you lay out and switch between
- 2:41different visuals on screen. branding
- 2:43and typography, which is obviously the
- 2:45colors, the textures, the fonts you use,
- 2:47and then motion effects, which is the
- 2:49way you switch between elements and move
- 2:51them around on the screen. Now, there
- 2:52are a lot of people that will say the
- 2:54visuals don't really matter. Your
- 2:55signature visual style is just a waste
- 2:57of time, and you can win without having
- 2:59this presence established. And maybe
- 3:01they were right in 2021 where there was
- 3:03so much demand and not enough supply
- 3:04that everything worked. But now, in
- 3:062026, you need to find ways to
- 3:09differentiate off the feet. My take
- 3:11against consensus would be that this
- 3:13visual differentiation is going to be
- 3:15one of the most important things over
- 3:16the next year. Now, across those six
- 3:18dimensions, you have a variety of
- 3:19different options you can choose to
- 3:21craft your own unique visual package.
- 3:23And when you start analyzing the visual
- 3:25modes or signature visual styles from
- 3:27some of the top creators you like, you
- 3:29start to realize how they're executing
- 3:31across those six areas. So, I'll show a
- 3:34few of them on the screen now. And you
- 3:35can realize that there actually aren't
- 3:37that many people that take this concept
- 3:39of visual moat as a priority in their
- 3:42content. That's why they're able to cut
- 3:43through consistently. So if you want to
- 3:45build a signature visual style for
- 3:46yourself, what you want to do is map the
- 3:49options across these six dimensions,
- 3:51both inside your niche and importantly
- 3:54outside your niche. Inside your niche,
- 3:56you want to figure out what's working
- 3:57and what not to copy or take inspiration
- 4:00from. and outside your niche is where
- 4:02you can really get exposed to
- 4:03interesting visual execution that you
- 4:05can bring over. I call this
- 4:06transpositioning. Now, in my SFA
- 4:08program, this is one of the things we
- 4:09work on, breaking down each of those
- 4:11components into elements, understanding
- 4:13the options, and then I help people
- 4:15craft their signature visual style so
- 4:17that they can cut through in their
- 4:18category. I've got the link below if you
- 4:20want to join and get my help on that.
- 4:21But the takeaway is very simple. In a
- 4:23world of infinite supply, which is where
- 4:25we're heading, the easy stuff is all
- 4:27gobbled up. And so you need to go up the
- 4:29stack of effort to figure out how to
- 4:31differentiate. Visual modes will be one
- 4:33of these final areas of differentiation.
- 4:36All right. The second way to keep
- 4:37growing faster on social media is to
- 4:39improve your delivery cadence. This is
- 4:41the tonality, rhythm, and flow in how
- 4:44you speak. And by the way, if it isn't
- 4:45already evident, what I'm covering in
- 4:47this video are huge areas of opportunity
- 4:49that aren't super easy to implement.
- 4:52Usually, what I'm doing is giving you
- 4:53the one word, the one phrase, the
- 4:55one-click way to improve. The problem is
- 4:57all those lowhanging fruit things,
- 4:59partially because of my channel, have
- 5:00all been gobbled up. And so that means
- 5:02the alpha has constrained. What you
- 5:04really want now are these big
- 5:06opportunity pockets that take a little
- 5:08bit of effort to unlock that most people
- 5:10won't go after. So that is what I'm
- 5:12covering. That was the visual modes and
- 5:13now this. So the second piece is really
- 5:15one word, cadence. And here's what I
- 5:17mean. When you speak on camera, the
- 5:19cadence, the rhythm, the flow, the tone
- 5:21you speak with has a huge impact on how
- 5:24well or poorly someone can comprehend
- 5:27what you're saying. And it matters
- 5:28literally for them to understand the
- 5:30words, but also subtly so that you can
- 5:32come from a position of authority and
- 5:33kind of like anchor their trust more
- 5:35easily. So, let me give you a real
- 5:37example. Let's take this sentence. I'm
- 5:38going to put it on the screen right
- 5:39here. Now, I'm going to read or deliver
- 5:41this sentence in a few different ways.
- 5:43Let's start with this one. The easiest
- 5:45way for you to scale on social media is
- 5:46to run the DCT storytelling method. See,
- 5:48now that was one tone monotone. It had
- 5:51no cadence and it had no specific
- 5:53emphasis or rhythm on certain terms. So,
- 5:55obviously that was the worst, but it's
- 5:56very hard for you to focus on exactly
- 5:58what I'm saying and like derive the
- 5:59meaning when I speak in that way. So,
- 6:01let's try it again a second time. The
- 6:03easiest way for you to scale on social
- 6:05media is to run the DCT storytelling
- 6:07method. See, now there I added a little
- 6:09bit of emphasis, but I put it on the
- 6:10wrong words. And so it's kind of hard
- 6:12for your brain to like sus out what are
- 6:14the core power words of that sentence
- 6:16that I need to understand so that I can
- 6:18be clear on what he's saying. Okay, so
- 6:20that obviously is not good at all. Now,
- 6:21here's another take. The easiest way for
- 6:23you to scale on social media is to run
- 6:25the DCT storytelling method, which
- 6:27creates a better storytelling frame that
- 6:28allows you to build trust and authority
- 6:30from your target customer. Now, here I
- 6:32put the emphasis and the tone shifts on
- 6:34some of the right words, but this is
- 6:35clearly a run-on sentence where there's
- 6:37just way too much context packaged into
- 6:40one breath. And the problem here is that
- 6:41the brain can only absorb so many words.
- 6:44Think of it like a Pac-Man eating dots.
- 6:46Your brain can only eat so many dots in
- 6:48a sentence before it's full and the
- 6:50mouth has to close. If you overload, the
- 6:52comprehension goes away. So this third
- 6:54take is also not ideal. Now let's go for
- 6:57the best take number four, which is what
- 6:58you should be doing. The easiest way for
- 7:00you to scale on social media is to run
- 7:02the DCT storytelling method. That is the
- 7:04Goldilock situation. I emphasize easiest
- 7:07way, scale, and DCT. And I said it in a
- 7:10quick punchy way so there weren't too
- 7:12many words that overwhelmed you. Now
- 7:13what I just did there as an illustration
- 7:16is dial in my cadence. And this, for
- 7:18example, is an advantage in my content
- 7:20that can't easily be copied. They can
- 7:23steal my words, but they can't as easily
- 7:25steal my cadence. And that dynamic,
- 7:27something that you have that they don't
- 7:28have, is an ARB that you can get alpha
- 7:31from. Now, obviously, I didn't come out
- 7:33of the womb born with great cadence. But
- 7:35I have a unique advantage because I made
- 7:37rap music for a long time. And so I
- 7:38trained my brain through rapping and
- 7:40through playing drums in this rhythmic
- 7:42way. Now, the easiest exercise for you
- 7:44as someone who wants to improve or get
- 7:46better at your cadence is to find
- 7:48someone whose cadence you like, take the
- 7:50transcript of their words, play their
- 7:52video out loud, and you read or perform
- 7:54as close to the inflection and tonality
- 7:57as possible over and over and over. Copy
- 7:59work is the way you get better at
- 8:00writing. This is called copy speech. You
- 8:03literally copy their speaking to train
- 8:05in the rhythm into your brain. If you do
- 8:08this long enough, you'll start absorbing
- 8:09this natural tonality and this rhythmic
- 8:11way of speaking. This is again something
- 8:12I focus on in SFA. When I review
- 8:14everyone's videos live on the call, if I
- 8:16identify cadence [music] as a core
- 8:18constraint that's preventing you from
- 8:20winning, I call it out immediately and
- 8:22try to correct it. And it's actually
- 8:23worth calling out if you want to get
- 8:24better at content. The best thing you
- 8:26can do by far is have someone watch your
- 8:28videos live who knows what they're doing
- 8:30and identify whatever the core
- 8:31constraint is for you at that time.
- 8:34Maybe it's ideas, maybe it's cadence,
- 8:36maybe it's editing, maybe it's hooks.
- 8:38Whatever it is, you need to be called
- 8:39out on that and given the recipe to fix
- 8:42it. That's what we do in SFA. And
- 8:43cadence is something that's a huge
- 8:45opportunity that comes up all the time.
- 8:46All right, the third opportunity area
- 8:48for growing faster on social media is
- 8:49what I call the anti-slop protocol. And
- 8:52this kind of builds on the logic from
- 8:53the first point I mentioned on visual
- 8:55modes. As more and more people accept AI
- 8:58into their content workflows to get
- 9:00speed, what they give up is the
- 9:02uniqueness and the alpha that they had
- 9:04from their human-driven process. If
- 9:06everyone is using Claude to edit and
- 9:08everyone's using the same avatar
- 9:10platform and everyone's using the same
- 9:11AI LLM to write the scripts based
- 9:13[music] on the same research, everything
- 9:15starts to converge and sound the same.
- 9:17And if you're sensing a theme in this
- 9:19video, it's that when there's a sea of
- 9:21sameness, you have to break free, beat,
- 9:24or differentiate from it if you want to
- 9:26continue winning. Your goal now when
- 9:28you're making content is to find a way
- 9:29to differentiate, especially in a
- 9:31direction that the viewer actually cares
- 9:33about. So, an exercise for doing this is
- 9:35what I call the anti-slop protocol. And
- 9:37essentially, this means you force
- 9:38yourself to stop using the slop
- 9:41generating methods. You don't use AI to
- 9:43edit. You don't use AI to record. You
- 9:45don't use AI to write your words. You
- 9:47only use AI in specific pockets where
- 9:49the data can actually enable you to
- 9:51focus on the human-driven difference.
- 9:54Essentially, you're doing the opposite
- 9:55of what everyone else is doing. And I
- 9:57hate that it's come [music] to this, but
- 9:58it has. Everyone's scrolling, seeing the
- 10:00same stuff over and over. And it's very
- 10:02clear now. You have to zag while
- 10:04everyone is zigging. Now, all of this
- 10:06sounds pretty obvious when I say it, be
- 10:08different. But let me just explain
- 10:09visually why this is so important. Pre
- 10:11the AI slopification era, the content
- 10:13world looked like this. Imagine this
- 10:15circle and every slice in the circle is
- 10:17a different niche. Now you had people
- 10:19making content about this and that and
- 10:21this and that and that represents all
- 10:22the dots all over the different slices,
- 10:25right? There was a huge diversification
- 10:27of execution. Different formats,
- 10:29different visual styles, people were
- 10:31speaking differently, talking
- 10:32differently. Everything was different.
- 10:33There was a nice mix across. And if you
- 10:35were to zoom in on an individual slice
- 10:37and it were 3D, you'd see there's even
- 10:39more differentiation. Some people are on
- 10:40the surface, some people are at the
- 10:41bottom, some people are out on the
- 10:43edges, some people in the middle. This
- 10:44is what healthy content feeds look like.
- 10:47What we're seeing now in the post AI
- 10:49era, especially in the last 6 months, is
- 10:51that every dot in every slice is
- 10:53starting to converge around the same
- 10:55point in the middle. They're all going
- 10:57to the same topics, all using the same
- 10:59formats, all copying each other visually
- 11:01with these AI edits. And so very simply
- 11:03for everyone inside that cluster, it's
- 11:05becoming a hundred times harder to break
- 11:06through because you're competing with
- 11:08the same eyes on the same stuff. There's
- 11:10no way visually for you to break out.
- 11:12All you have to do is go out on your own
- 11:14and play towards the edges to break free
- 11:17of that cluster. And that's where the
- 11:18alpha really is. This is something that
- 11:20my team has been discussing obsessively
- 11:22over the past few months. And a lot of
- 11:23the top creators that I'm friends with
- 11:24are doing the same. They're trying to
- 11:26figure out how to break out of the
- 11:27cluster. They pioneered their lane. a
- 11:30bunch of clones went to copy to form a
- 11:32cluster and they now need to break free
- 11:34of it again. The point here with the
- 11:35anti-slot method is that if you're using
- 11:37AI to try to turn on the machine, you're
- 11:40going to converge on this cluster point
- 11:42and it's going to continue to be harder
- 11:44for you to break free. Very simply, you
- 11:46need to stop copying everyone else and
- 11:48figure out how you can break out of that
- 11:50cluster. All right. Now, the fourth way
- 11:51to grow faster on social media right now
- 11:53is to significantly improve the quality
- 11:56of your ideas. And nobody wants to hear
- 11:58that their ideas are bad, but the truth
- 11:59is this is where the leverage is. I've
- 12:00covered it in many other videos that
- 12:02I'll link below. So, let me just give it
- 12:03to you in a nutshell right here. Ideas
- 12:05are very simply the topic plus the angle
- 12:08plus [music] the substance. What are you
- 12:09talking about? What is your take on it?
- 12:12And then what are the facts, opinions,
- 12:13or examples you're using to justify that
- 12:16take? If your content is not cutting
- 12:17through, it is always an idea problem.
- 12:20You may have other problems also
- 12:22downstream, but you for sure have an
- 12:24idea problem as well. And the problems
- 12:25very simply are you're either talking
- 12:27about a topic your viewer doesn't care
- 12:29about, your take is too generic and
- 12:31average, or the substance you're sharing
- 12:34doesn't map to that take, it's not clear
- 12:36how it maps that take, or it's hard to
- 12:38understand. Every single person that is
- 12:40not where they want to be on the content
- 12:41front should be investing most of their
- 12:43time and resources on solving this idea
- 12:46constraint. Now, we have something very
- 12:47exciting coming out in the next few
- 12:49weeks on the [music] Sandcastle's front
- 12:50that will close the gap that I've been
- 12:52wanting forever on this. So stay tuned
- 12:54for that. But in the meantime, let me
- 12:56just tell you exactly where you should
- 12:57be focusing right now. On the topic
- 12:59front, this is the one thing where you
- 13:01can use data reliably. You should be
- 13:03running data analysis to figure out what
- 13:04topics are actually outperforming in
- 13:07your niche. And the best way to do this
- 13:09is to just deep analyze a set of
- 13:10competitors using Sandcastles inside of
- 13:13whatever AI LLM you use. Sandcastles.ai
- 13:16is now an official plugin of Claude
- 13:18Chatbt and can be piped into any LLM or
- 13:21AI product you want. If you run Hermes
- 13:23agents, Grockbot, Gemini, Muse, it can
- 13:25be piped in anywhere. I'll link the
- 13:27instructions below. You can just click
- 13:28this and whichever AI platform you use,
- 13:30it'll show you how to install it. But
- 13:32very simply, Sandcastles bridges all of
- 13:34the social performance data and deep
- 13:36analysis from what I look at in my
- 13:38brain, that's what's coded into
- 13:40Sandcastles. You pipe all that data into
- 13:42Claude, ChatGBT, Grock, and then you
- 13:45have it build visual databases and
- 13:47breakdowns of what topics are performing
- 13:49best. So, all you have to do is hook up
- 13:51the MCP and then prompt any AI platform
- 13:54with this. Exactly. Run a deep analysis
- 13:56of the top 100 performing videos from
- 13:58the channels in my watch list over the
- 14:00last 3 months. Screen out anything
- 14:02that's not relevant to my niche. Also,
- 14:04screen out anything with below a 2%
- 14:06engagement rate and then run a detailed
- 14:07report showing me the top performing
- 14:09topics. Visualize in dynamic HTML. This
- 14:12will give you a deep data breakdown of
- 14:14exactly what topics are resonating most
- 14:16in your niche. Now, again, to build on
- 14:18everything else we've talked about
- 14:19already in this video, you're not going
- 14:20to take those outlier performers and
- 14:22copy them. This would be slop and
- 14:24converging to the cluster, which you
- 14:26don't want to do. What you're going to
- 14:27do is come up with your own process to
- 14:29build a unique angle and [music]
- 14:31substance on whatever the validated
- 14:34topic is. So, if you're an accountant
- 14:36and the Sandcastle report tells you,
- 14:37hey, we looked at the accounting space,
- 14:39we studied all the top performing
- 14:40accountants and we've identified that
- 14:42the top performing topic or one of them
- 14:44is tax-saving strategies for
- 14:45millionaires. You are going to take that
- 14:47and you're going to ask yourself, hm, as
- 14:49an accountant with 12 years of
- 14:51experience, what is the one or two
- 14:53things that I give tax strategy-wise to
- 14:55millionaires that are my clients that
- 14:57they seem to be the happiest about? That
- 14:59becomes your angle and the thing you
- 15:01actually tell them is your substance.
- 15:03This is how you use data to aim your
- 15:05ideas, but actually infuse unique take
- 15:07and substance so that you can separate
- 15:08as well. This is the highest leverage
- 15:10thing you can do is implement this
- 15:12process that I just walked through when
- 15:14it comes to idea strategy. All right.
- 15:16Point number five for growing faster on
- 15:18social media is to increase volume while
- 15:20preserving taste. And this really is
- 15:22what most people want. The truth is
- 15:24nothing will grow your channel faster
- 15:26than doubling your volume, assuming the
- 15:28quality and non-negotiables of good
- 15:30ideas and good hooks are held [music]
- 15:31constant. So the best way to double your
- 15:33volume while preserving taste is to
- 15:35build what I call a hybrid AI content
- 15:37system. And if there's one thing in SFA
- 15:39that it is tailor made for, it is
- 15:41helping business owners install this.
- 15:43For the reasons I've already mentioned
- 15:44in this video, you don't want to use AI
- 15:46to automate the entire workflow because
- 15:47that's how you converge to the slop
- 15:49layer. Instead, you want to use AI to
- 15:51alleviate the biggest bottlenecks and
- 15:53then put all of your human creativity on
- 15:55the high lever pieces. So, for example,
- 15:57like I just said, you shouldn't spend a
- 15:59lot of time researching ideas manually.
- 16:01You should just use sand castles to
- 16:03guide you and tell you exactly what the
- 16:04topics are. What I like to use right now
- 16:06is Grockbot. I pipe the Sandcastle's MCP
- 16:08into Grockbot so it has it in its brain.
- 16:10Then I launch a bot to actually do the
- 16:12idea analysis. Every time I get an idea,
- 16:14I launch a second bot that's my
- 16:16researcher bot that I can actually run,
- 16:18grab B-roll, and do research and
- 16:20development on that idea automatically.
- 16:22If you want me to make a video dedicated
- 16:23to that, how I'm using Grockbot and Sand
- 16:25Castles to kind of run my idea process,
- 16:27[music] comment ideas below, and then
- 16:29I'll make that video for you. So that
- 16:31would be an example of what I have AI
- 16:32doing. But then that frees up my human
- 16:34time to focus completely on the angle
- 16:37and actually writing the script to turn
- 16:39that substance into words that will
- 16:42perform well. The key here is that by
- 16:44setting up that hybrid AI system, I can
- 16:46batch 3 to four hours to write 7 to 10
- 16:48scripts at a time. And that is how I'm
- 16:50able to double my volume from three
- 16:52videos a week up to seven. Now on the
- 16:54recording, I also do the same thing. It
- 16:56needs to be human. I don't want to use
- 16:57an AI avatar for that. So I batch record
- 16:59all seven in 1 hour. And on the editing,
- 17:01if you're a business owner, you want to
- 17:02be able to hand this off to your editors
- 17:04while preserving the visual mode. If you
- 17:06want to work with the guys I work with,
- 17:08I've got a link below. I'll introduce
- 17:09you for free, no problem. If you have an
- 17:11editor, perfect. But if you're a
- 17:12business owner, you should be handing
- 17:13the editing off to someone else. So, if
- 17:15you think about it, what we really did
- 17:17is map the end-to-end workflow or
- 17:19content system. We infused AI where it
- 17:21made sense to use data, and we infused
- 17:23oursel as the human where it made sense
- 17:25to break out. That is how you're able to
- 17:27scale volume while preserving taste.
- 17:29Now, if you want to go one or two levels
- 17:31deeper on that to see the exact flows
- 17:32that I'm using to run that strategy,
- 17:34I've actually just built out a bunch of
- 17:36new SOPs and playbooks breaking that
- 17:38down. And this is literally to a te the
- 17:40exact strategy I use to grow this
- 17:42channel, my Callaway Marketing
- 17:43Instagram, from 0 to 160,000 followers
- 17:45in a very competitive niche in just 6
- 17:48months on only 5 hours per week of work.
- 17:50It's because I ran this AI hybrid
- 17:52content system. All those SOPs,
- 17:54frameworks, and playbooks are fully
- 17:55accessible in SFA as well as my
- 17:57one-on-one help to install. All right.
- 17:58All right. Now, for the last one, number
- 18:00six, I wanted to end with something
- 18:01super tactical that you could take away
- 18:02and apply right now. So, contrary to the
- 18:04title, this last one you might not hate
- 18:06because it is lower hanging fruit.
- 18:07That's very easy. I wanted to kind of
- 18:09throw one of those in there as well.
- 18:10This is called the four S's of hookw
- 18:12writing. Everybody knows the easiest way
- 18:13to get your content to perform better is
- 18:15to just improve the hook rate. How many
- 18:17people stick or therefore decrease the
- 18:19skip rate. Over the years, I've studied
- 18:20literally thousands of the top hooks,
- 18:22probably tens of thousands at this
- 18:23point. And there's a very simple
- 18:24framework you can run to make sure your
- 18:26hooks work. It's called the four S's of
- 18:28hookw writing. The first S is subject.
- 18:30It needs to be immediately clear what or
- 18:32who the subject is of the video in the
- 18:34first sentence. And this is very
- 18:36critical so that the viewer can opt in
- 18:37or out based on if they think the video
- 18:40will be for them. Some people think you
- 18:41want to hide the subject because it'll
- 18:43make people watch more. Actually, it'll
- 18:44just get them frustrated and they'll
- 18:45churn. Always say the subject in the
- 18:47first sentence. The second S is stakes.
- 18:50There needs to be a very clear reason
- 18:51why the viewer would continue watching
- 18:54after they hear the first line. Now,
- 18:56usually this is because you've teased a
- 18:57desired result they want and [music]
- 18:59indicated that you have a method or a
- 19:02way for them to get that result easier,
- 19:04faster, or cheaper. This is the one that
- 19:06people are most missing, which is the
- 19:07stakes. They say the subject and they do
- 19:09the other two, but there's really not a
- 19:11pull or a magnet dragging someone
- 19:13through. The curiosity is just not high
- 19:15enough. The third S is simple. Very
- 19:17easy. Every single word should be third
- 19:18grade language in the first one to two
- 19:20sentences. Big words seem like they will
- 19:21get you credibility, but they actually
- 19:23get you confusion. When you have
- 19:24confusion, people bounce. Every word
- 19:26should be very clear what it means. And
- 19:27the fourth one is called super clear.
- 19:29And this indicates the framing of the
- 19:30sentence. Needs to be short, punchy,
- 19:32active voice, not too many words. Get it
- 19:35delivered very quickly so someone can
- 19:36fully understand. Just make sure every
- 19:38single hook you have does these four
- 19:39things and you should be good. And
- 19:41again, if you want me to review your
- 19:42hooks in real time, literally pull your
- 19:44video up, watch it, listen to the hook
- 19:45over and over, tell you exactly what to
- 19:47change, this is probably the highest
- 19:48leverage thing you can do. That's what
- 19:49we do on the group calls in SFA. All
- 19:51right, guys. That is all I've got for
- 19:52this one. As always, I'm trying to push
- 19:54the boundaries for what you don't
- 19:55typically hear. A lot of the lowhanging
- 19:56fruit is getting regurgitated over and
- 19:58over in the slop engine. And so, as you
- 20:01could tell here, I'm trying to go out on
- 20:03the curve and be like, where are there
- 20:04still pockets of opportunity? How can we
- 20:06take advantage of those? So, hopefully
- 20:08this gave you a lot to think about and
- 20:10put in motion. If you're a business
- 20:11owner and you're trying to use content
- 20:12to grow your business, hopefully you can
- 20:14tell this will be one of the best
- 20:15channels you could possibly watch. Make
- 20:16sure to subscribe. And also, if you want
- 20:18my one-on-one help to actually get my
- 20:20brain on your channel growing faster,
- 20:22I've got a bunch of links below that you
- 20:24can go through. All right, guys. We will
- 20:25see you on the next one. Peace.
