Getting Viewers To Click Is Hard... Try This 👀
These video titles get hundreds of thousands of views. Let's break them down.
Hey there. When things get hard, remember 30 viewers is a whole classroom, 200 viewers is a packed movie theater, 1,000 viewers is a full auditorium, and 10,000 viewers is a f***ing stadium! You're doing better than you think.
Now, let's get into the good stuff! 👇
Getting Viewers To Click Is Hard... Try This 👀
The average attention span is 8 seconds, so if you want a viewer to stick around for your whole video, you have a total of 8 second to hook them. BUT hooking your viewers is a topic for another edition (so make sure to stay subscribed) because before you even get that 8 second opportunity, you need an intriguing video title.
So let's look at some awesome video titles and how you can follow a similar formula for titling your videos and increasing views.
Formula: How (Powerful Entity) Works In 2022
How You Can Use This: You can use this title in any niche. If you're a music producer, you can have a video titled "How FL Studio Works in 2022." If you're a data analyst, you can make a video titled "How Excel Works in 2022." This works for any powerful entity that people care about within your niche. This is also a timeless title - it works in 2022, will work in 2023, 2024, and so on.
2. Formula: We Tried (Trending Product)
How You Can Use This: Think about products that your audience CURRENTLY has an interest in or may have interest in in the future. If there are different styles, sizes, or editions, you can try all of them and that may entice more viewers. An example might be "I Tried The iPhone 14 Pro Max" if you're a technology creator. "We Tried (Trending Product)" can be changed to "I Tried (Trending Service)" or whatever makes sense for your audience.
3. Formula: The 7 WORST (Thing Everyone Does) In Your 20s
How You Can Use This: Change "Purchases To Make" to "Places To Go" or "Places To Live" or "Foods To Eat" or whatever fits within your niche. Change "WORST" to "BEST" and you have double the content AND amazing titles.
Creator Burnout No More 🙅♂️
4 months ago, popular gaming/comedy YouTuber, LaurenzSide, posted a video called I'm Not OK ...I’ll Come Back When I Am because she was mentally burnt out. She started the video with a quote, "If you don't make time for your wellness, you'll be forced to make time for your illness." This is unfortunately so true.
The worst part about burnout is that it doesn't care about your subscriber count - it can hit each and every content creator out there. That's why today we want to share some awesome tips for preventing burnout from full-time creators.
Writer Anna B. Yang says, "Because I can't "force" creativity, I give myself some wiggle room. If things don't go as planned, have some time built in to catch up.”
Shayla Price, the creator of PrimoStats, says, “I divide my tasks into multiple sub-tasks across several days. This method helps me avoid procrastination and the need to rush through my tasks. So, if I need to write a blog post, I'll draft a paragraph a day or focus on a specific section. It takes me longer to finish the task. However, the consistency ensures that I actually finish the task.”
Tori Dunlap, founder of HerFirst100k, says, “I find being present with people that I love is really helpful for me. I love opportunities where I can forget about work because, honestly, they're few and far between.”
Matt Parkin, the creator of Mornings with Matt, says, "Remember to set boundaries and know that most things can wait until tomorrow, so don't lose sleep trying to get everything done today.”

Creator Tip Of The Day 📝
Talk LESS about you and MORE about your viewer. It might be painful to hear, but unless you're Logan Paul or Jenna Marbles, most people don't want to hear about you.
Now that doesn't mean you shouldn't use personal anecdotes to prove a point. It just means that 90% of your content should be showing value to your audience. Talking about the latte you got from Starbucks this morning provides little to no value to your viewers. Talking about how waking up early, getting coffee, and sitting down for an hour at Starbucks to get focused work completed without distraction provides much more value.
