1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:06,670
So now I want to talk about scripting your videos and why that is so, so important.

2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:11,700
Now, most people don't do this, and I'm not going to spend a lot of time specifically talking in-depth

3
00:00:11,700 --> 00:00:15,870
on scripting your videos, because one of the bonus lectures that I've actually added to this course

4
00:00:16,020 --> 00:00:17,750
will go pretty much in depth with that.

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,080
It's one of the YouTube videos that I did.

6
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:23,440
I believe it's like eight things or eight mistakes to avoid as a new YouTube or something, or eight

7
00:00:23,460 --> 00:00:24,990
mistakes that kill new YouTube channels.

8
00:00:25,140 --> 00:00:28,620
That's actually a video that I put, you know, three to four hours in creating.

9
00:00:28,620 --> 00:00:32,670
So I put that video at the end with a couple of other bonus lectures, know really, really help you

10
00:00:32,670 --> 00:00:34,210
out and go more in depth of that.

11
00:00:34,530 --> 00:00:39,000
That said, I do want to cover the main points right here to make sure that I hit them home and make

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,080
sure that you understand them.

13
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:40,300
Right.

14
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:41,960
So why do you want to script your videos?

15
00:00:41,970 --> 00:00:45,160
Well, first and foremost, you don't want to waste your viewers time.

16
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,340
OK, that's that's literally the most important thing that scripting your videos will do.

17
00:00:49,350 --> 00:00:49,580
Right.

18
00:00:49,590 --> 00:00:54,330
You're going to make sure that you have a plan and that you have points to touch on and hit so that

19
00:00:54,330 --> 00:00:57,150
you hit those exact points, those value points.

20
00:00:57,150 --> 00:00:57,510
Right.

21
00:00:57,690 --> 00:01:00,180
So that you're giving them exactly what they came there for.

22
00:01:00,270 --> 00:01:04,490
If you win certain things, you might potentially miss out on on a key important point.

23
00:01:04,620 --> 00:01:09,060
There's been so many examples of times where I've been doing something, just kind of doing it off memory.

24
00:01:09,150 --> 00:01:12,080
And I miss one crucial thing that I wish I would have put back in my video.

25
00:01:12,090 --> 00:01:12,360
Right.

26
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,990
And if I would have just had a little outline there that I could potentially look over to every once

27
00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:17,850
in a while, make sure that I hit home a point.

28
00:01:18,060 --> 00:01:18,420
Right.

29
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,930
Then I could I could just cut that will take a break.

30
00:01:20,940 --> 00:01:21,690
I could say something.

31
00:01:21,690 --> 00:01:22,320
Take a break.

32
00:01:23,190 --> 00:01:24,570
Make sure to hit a point home.

33
00:01:24,570 --> 00:01:27,750
Remember it, come back to the video, start speaking again.

34
00:01:27,750 --> 00:01:28,080
Right.

35
00:01:28,230 --> 00:01:32,310
Then I can take a break and I can just cut those holes out of my editing software and nobody would know.

36
00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:33,750
You don't want to waste your viewers time.

37
00:01:33,750 --> 00:01:36,960
You want to make sure that you have a plan and have points to talk about.

38
00:01:37,230 --> 00:01:39,720
Now, don't get me wrong, you can wing certain videos.

39
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,770
And, you know, if you're more comfortable winging videos, then by all means, go ahead and try it

40
00:01:43,770 --> 00:01:46,230
and see what what works for you best.

41
00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:47,340
And it depends.

42
00:01:47,340 --> 00:01:52,830
NEHUSHTAN Obviously, in certain things, certain videos can be done better wing wings, like, for

43
00:01:52,830 --> 00:01:53,940
example, tutorials.

44
00:01:54,180 --> 00:01:58,620
So every time I'll do like an online arbitrage tutorial, it's something that I know a lot about and

45
00:01:58,620 --> 00:02:03,420
I can basically just show and demonstrate, like the value of me actually going through the process.

46
00:02:03,420 --> 00:02:03,690
Right.

47
00:02:03,930 --> 00:02:05,790
There's no way to really script that fully.

48
00:02:05,790 --> 00:02:07,110
So what I do is I wing it.

49
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,520
That said, you want to make sure that you understand the concepts a lot if you are going to wing something

50
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:11,940
like that.

51
00:02:12,060 --> 00:02:15,720
But the best example of something like I said, the wing would probably be a tutorial.

52
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,650
If you're just doing like a talking to the video type of thing, like I'm doing right here, or you're

53
00:02:19,650 --> 00:02:22,560
doing like you're standing in front of a camera, I'm explaining something.

54
00:02:22,860 --> 00:02:27,180
The best thing that you can do, in my opinion, is have at least if it's not a script or like a full

55
00:02:27,180 --> 00:02:31,170
out written thing like I keep referencing here, you want to at least make sure that you have little

56
00:02:31,170 --> 00:02:36,690
points like this to remember to bring up so that you hit those points home and you can make sure to

57
00:02:36,690 --> 00:02:39,660
give the most value in the shortest period of time possible.

58
00:02:39,780 --> 00:02:43,710
Another thing that I recommend that you do is simply cut the loans out like we talked about or things

59
00:02:43,710 --> 00:02:44,490
that aren't important.

60
00:02:44,490 --> 00:02:47,240
So if, for example, if I'm creating a YouTube video right now, right.

61
00:02:47,490 --> 00:02:52,500
And I go back and I put this actual raw video in my editor and I go through and I start editing it,

62
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:58,770
I'm going to cut certain points out of this where I might stumble or have different words that, you

63
00:02:58,770 --> 00:03:03,480
know, don't come out correctly or, you know, maybe I might have, you know, a lull in the thing

64
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,440
or I might say something completely that's that's just wasted five seconds.

65
00:03:07,590 --> 00:03:10,710
I'm going to cut that out because on YouTube, those little holes matter.

66
00:03:10,710 --> 00:03:15,150
Now, for a specific course like this, obviously, that matters in a certain degree, but I don't get

67
00:03:15,150 --> 00:03:16,320
graded on the watch time.

68
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,010
I'm trying to give the most raw related value piece that I can.

69
00:03:20,010 --> 00:03:24,960
I'm trying to communicate it as clearly and as authentically as possible so that you understand.

70
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:25,200
Right.

71
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,210
But on YouTube, you need to do that.

72
00:03:27,210 --> 00:03:32,610
But you also need to focus on not having any roles, not losing any audience retention, not losing

73
00:03:32,820 --> 00:03:36,930
the the interest of the viewer, essentially because it's a different platform.

74
00:03:36,930 --> 00:03:37,140
Right.

75
00:03:37,140 --> 00:03:39,630
You're kind of trying to entertain in a lot of ways.

76
00:03:39,750 --> 00:03:42,300
Then you just create a course that's educational.

77
00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:45,240
So on YouTube, you really need to focus on cutting out your lulls.

78
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,650
You don't want to waste the viewers time.

79
00:03:46,650 --> 00:03:52,170
And that's a super, super, super important reason why you should have a script, especially for YouTube

80
00:03:52,170 --> 00:03:52,590
videos.

81
00:03:52,710 --> 00:03:58,410
But on YouTube specifically, it's a major, major, major ranking factor for the algorithm.

82
00:03:58,410 --> 00:04:00,360
And you're going up against so many other videos.

83
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,870
So you really need to take advantage of this if it's not like a tutorial.

84
00:04:04,110 --> 00:04:08,760
Now, another thing is, you know, I've noticed personally that when I wing videos, if they're not,

85
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,990
we're not talking about, like, tutorials, because obviously a tutorial, I can't I don't have any

86
00:04:12,990 --> 00:04:17,010
specific examples of a tutorial that's whinged versus a tutorial that's like not whinged.

87
00:04:17,220 --> 00:04:21,420
But in general, if I'm doing like a talking to the camera type of thing and I like and I make sure

88
00:04:21,420 --> 00:04:24,750
to hit home points and I make sure that I have a script and I make sure that a No.

89
00:04:24,750 --> 00:04:26,340
One, hey, no one.

90
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:27,180
No one.

91
00:04:27,180 --> 00:04:31,290
And most importantly, that that I do have a scripted intro because that's the number one thing that

92
00:04:31,290 --> 00:04:32,490
you definitely need.

93
00:04:32,490 --> 00:04:34,350
You definitely need to script an intro.

94
00:04:34,470 --> 00:04:38,910
The worst thing that you can do is try to wing in intro because then you're not able to capture the

95
00:04:38,910 --> 00:04:40,620
attention as efficiently.

96
00:04:40,620 --> 00:04:40,860
Right.

97
00:04:40,860 --> 00:04:43,680
You want to have a plan, especially for your intro on YouTube.

98
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:49,620
But one of the things that I've noticed, you know, is the videos that I have a plan for, especially

99
00:04:49,620 --> 00:04:54,000
with the intro pretend to perform, you know, a lot better than the ones I just wing or, you know,

100
00:04:54,030 --> 00:04:57,060
the ones that I don't edit as as cautiously like that.

101
00:04:57,060 --> 00:04:59,730
So, you know, I know it's easy to just say this, but.

102
00:05:00,110 --> 00:05:04,700
If you don't, you know, if you're not sold on it yet, I would recommend that maybe you test out both

103
00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:05,780
and see what works for you.

104
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:11,660
But chances are I'm willing to bet that the scripted videos will perform a lot better than the unscripted

105
00:05:11,660 --> 00:05:14,750
ones because of all these points that I on now.

106
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:20,060
Lastly, I want to talk about, you know, giving more important, giving more value to your audience

107
00:05:20,060 --> 00:05:21,080
in a short period of time.

108
00:05:21,290 --> 00:05:26,750
So the majority of people and I love the quote basically where it's like when everyone else is zig zag.

109
00:05:26,750 --> 00:05:27,040
Right?

110
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:32,300
Well, on YouTube, everyone's trying to capture attention and everyone's trying to game the system.

111
00:05:32,300 --> 00:05:34,610
Everyone's trying to accumulate that longer watch time.

112
00:05:34,610 --> 00:05:36,720
Everyone's trying and there's nothing wrong with that.

113
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,450
What I'm what I'm trying to say is everybody's trying to kind of click bait and kind of drag the video

114
00:05:41,450 --> 00:05:41,720
on.

115
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:41,980
Right.

116
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:48,020
If they click bait, you would like the most important Instagram tip that you could do in 2019.

117
00:05:48,020 --> 00:05:48,300
Right?

118
00:05:48,380 --> 00:05:52,250
Chances are they're not going to give you that tip until like eight to 10 minutes into the video.

119
00:05:52,250 --> 00:05:52,420
Right.

120
00:05:52,430 --> 00:05:56,600
They're going to try to drag the video on and capture your watch time as long as possible, you know,

121
00:05:56,630 --> 00:05:59,750
to then give you the tip so that they get good metrics on the video.

122
00:05:59,930 --> 00:06:00,880
And that's understandable.

123
00:06:00,890 --> 00:06:02,060
There's nothing wrong with doing that.

124
00:06:02,060 --> 00:06:04,040
And I suggest that you do that to a certain degree.

125
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,790
To that said, sometimes when everyone else ziggs you want to zag.

126
00:06:07,790 --> 00:06:12,650
So instead of just, you know, capturing attention or dragging a video on which people literally hate,

127
00:06:12,650 --> 00:06:15,230
even though it hurts or helps, that video is Metrick.

128
00:06:15,230 --> 00:06:18,830
Potentially, I would recommend that you just keep it simple.

129
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,000
The reason being, if you have a script, you keep it simple and you give value, you give more value.

130
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,300
In a short period of time, people will remember that.

131
00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:26,710
Right.

132
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,370
And one of the things these are two completely unrelated things, although it works for content or just

133
00:06:31,370 --> 00:06:32,420
general entrepreneurship.

134
00:06:32,630 --> 00:06:36,500
Two of the things that I've been reading really recently that have made a huge difference in the way

135
00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:40,220
that I perceive my business and the way that I perceive giving value to my customers.

136
00:06:40,220 --> 00:06:47,780
My audience are the Thank You Economy by Gary V and Amazon Letters to Shareholders by Jeff Bezos.

137
00:06:47,780 --> 00:06:51,800
Obviously, it's literally like all the stuff that he ever wrote to Amazon shareholders about their

138
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:58,550
the strategy of the company from back in like like 1997, I think all the way up to obviously last year.

139
00:06:58,700 --> 00:06:59,510
And both things.

140
00:06:59,510 --> 00:07:04,760
The two general themes in both of these, which are crucial, is basically giving more to your customers,

141
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:09,680
focusing on the long game, the long game, and letting that play out over time.

142
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:09,970
Right.

143
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,770
The reason that I'm drawing those conclusions and I would make sure to link both of those above in,

144
00:07:14,930 --> 00:07:17,450
you know, the thank you economy will be an affiliate link.

145
00:07:17,450 --> 00:07:18,650
I think I make like a dollar on it.

146
00:07:18,650 --> 00:07:19,340
So it's not a big deal.

147
00:07:19,340 --> 00:07:20,450
You can just Google it if you want.

148
00:07:20,660 --> 00:07:25,310
But the Amazon letter to shareholders, I've actually accumulated all of them in like a a read me file.

149
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,560
So if you want to go ahead and read them, it's 100 percent free.

150
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:28,880
It's just like a digital PDF.

151
00:07:29,030 --> 00:07:32,690
You can print it out and put it in a binder like I did if you want and go through and highlight, which

152
00:07:32,690 --> 00:07:38,390
I recommend that you do, and you will see that common theme in there, both of long term and you literally

153
00:07:38,390 --> 00:07:42,380
just relentless, relentless, relentless focus on customer satisfaction.

154
00:07:42,590 --> 00:07:44,180
That's the reason in a nutshell.

155
00:07:44,180 --> 00:07:49,280
And Bezos says it literally like a thousand different times in the in the shareholder letters that Amazon's

156
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:50,920
successful right over the long term.

157
00:07:51,290 --> 00:07:56,060
So the reason I'm telling you this is because if you focus on long term and giving your customers more

158
00:07:56,060 --> 00:08:01,010
value now in a short period of time, you might not necessarily accumulate that watch time or that you

159
00:08:01,010 --> 00:08:05,900
know, that audience retention or, you know, you might not click bait as well as other potential channels

160
00:08:05,900 --> 00:08:08,150
that you're competing against right now.

161
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:13,670
But I promise you, people will remember that and come back to your channel in your videos as you being

162
00:08:13,670 --> 00:08:16,820
the person that gave them the most value and straightforward answers.

163
00:08:16,910 --> 00:08:19,040
And they will stick with you long term.

164
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,760
So always play the long term game, never play the short term game.

165
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,760
And when everyone else is, use AG.

166
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,970
And that's the main reason why I suggest that you script your videos.
