Speaker:

Don't think you can only be on TikTok, you can only be on Instagram

Speaker:

or LinkedIn or these other places.

Speaker:

Some of them can work depending on what your business is.

Speaker:

Problem is people want more.

Speaker:

They want to dive deeper in with you, and so that might be one-on-one time

Speaker:

and on a sales call that might be a free consulting or coaching session.

Speaker:

Having a YouTube podcast in 2023 is the most important thing you can.

Speaker:

To help your business thrive and survive.

Speaker:

My name is Zach Mitchum.

Speaker:

I run a YouTube strategy consulting business.

Speaker:

My business partner is Evan Carmichael and he is the best person in this space.

Speaker:

And so together we work with some of the top thought leaders and entrepreneurs

Speaker:

in the world to help them to grow their businesses using YouTube.

Speaker:

I really focus on helping people to grow a.

Speaker:

Podcast on YouTube because I found that if you're coaching, if you're consulting or

Speaker:

you have any kind of educational material that you're trying to get paid for, that

Speaker:

is the absolute best way to get people to know you, like you, trust you, and to buy

Speaker:

your products much more easily without having to spend hours and hours on sales

Speaker:

calls or different things like that.

Speaker:

So I'm gonna share three massive ideas that we use with our clients

Speaker:

and that you should be implementing as well if you wanna grow your business.

Speaker:

The reason why YouTube should be your focus with content is that.

Speaker:

All of the pros and nearly none of the cons of every single social

Speaker:

media platform out there right now.

Speaker:

YouTube's algorithm is really designed to get the most watch time, the most used.

Speaker:

Every single platform does that, but YouTube does it the best because you

Speaker:

can put longer form content, and it really, really loves long form content.

Speaker:

I'm talking 30 minutes, 40 minutes, an hour, two hours, three hours.

Speaker:

The fastest growing segment of videos on YouTube is in the one to three hour range,

Speaker:

especially in the thought leadership space or business education, or any

Speaker:

kind of educational type content at all.

Speaker:

If you want to grow the fastest, you want to be an hour plus, and this is

Speaker:

why a YouTube based podcast works so well, because we can repurpose this.

Speaker:

We can use it in a few ways.

Speaker:

We're gonna talk about that here in a second.

Speaker:

But the thing that you can do is that you're able to get YouTube

Speaker:

to grow your channel for you.

Speaker:

70% of all the views on YouTube come from YouTube recommending.

Speaker:

To the viewer, not from the viewer searching, not from them just

Speaker:

finding it because, you know, they, they've seen that creator before.

Speaker:

That does help.

Speaker:

But the recognition of YouTube saying, Hey, you probably like this

Speaker:

video next, and doing the things that you need to, to actually get

Speaker:

people to click on those videos.

Speaker:

That is where most of the views come from.

Speaker:

That's where 70% of the views come from.

Speaker:

And the beautiful thing here is that YouTube is doing that work

Speaker:

for you if you do the right things.

Speaker:

So here we need to make sure you're creating longer content.

Speaker:

If you are creating content in the five minute range, 10 minute range, 10

Speaker:

minutes, I would say is the minimum.

Speaker:

But really what works the best is going longer.

Speaker:

Go 30 minutes, 45 minutes, an hour.

Speaker:

I would like to see, you know, as long of content as you can.

Speaker:

When I talk with my clients, I'm trying to get them on the

Speaker:

camera as long as possible.

Speaker:

I don't like them to, or ever suggest they create anything less than 10 minutes.

Speaker:

That is, it's.

Speaker:

Too short and really preferentially, I would say go at least 20 minutes or

Speaker:

longer because think about this, if you want someone to buy something from you,

Speaker:

I mean, you're building an audience here and potentially, you know, 1%, 3%, 5%, I

Speaker:

don't know what percent you're shooting for of the audience to buy from you, but

Speaker:

if they have big enough problems to be worth the time to hire you or to get your

Speaker:

services, your coaching, Courses, whatever it is that you have, it's going to need

Speaker:

to be a lot longer than five minutes.

Speaker:

If I have a big problem, I'm going to spend a thousand, 5,000, $10,000

Speaker:

to fix this problem because it's that big of a problem for me.

Speaker:

Five minutes isn't going to do it.

Speaker:

10 minutes isn't going to do it.

Speaker:

If I have some serious say health problems and I really need to fix

Speaker:

them, otherwise I'm not gonna be around for my kids or my wife.

Speaker:

I don't want 10 minutes.

Speaker:

I want an hour.

Speaker:

I want three hours.

Speaker:

I want a long time.

Speaker:

Same with my business.

Speaker:

But if you're in that space, or better yet, your audience is in

Speaker:

that space of needing business.

Speaker:

Problem solved.

Speaker:

Five minutes isn't going to cut it.

Speaker:

Five minutes is, you know, a tutorial on how to do this quick, easy thing.

Speaker:

An hour or two hours of you explaining, here's the mindset

Speaker:

you need to have around this.

Speaker:

Here are some of the actionable things that you need to do to change this.

Speaker:

Those are the things that are really going to make a difference

Speaker:

in these people's lives.

Speaker:

As long as your content is good.

Speaker:

And when I say content, I don't mean the looks.

Speaker:

You see the editing of this, you see the quality of this, and

Speaker:

maybe this is something that's held you back in the past.

Speaker:

I talk about how to get better video and better audio on my channel,

Speaker:

and so that's important for me to look good and for me to sound good.

Speaker:

Otherwise you wouldn't listen to me.

Speaker:

But for most of.

Speaker:

It's the quality of the actual words you're saying.

Speaker:

Are you actually giving them knowledge, information that will allow them to

Speaker:

change their lives to do the thing that they need to do to fix the problem?

Speaker:

So that is what you need to do.

Speaker:

You need to get YouTube to recommend your content.

Speaker:

So that was big idea number one.

Speaker:

Now I want to share.

Speaker:

A strategy or tactic that you can use around this big idea.

Speaker:

But if you don't know how to act on it, if you don't know what to

Speaker:

do with it, it's pretty pointless.

Speaker:

It's the same with any of your coaching or consulting sessions.

Speaker:

You know, that's really what people are paying for.

Speaker:

And if I give you the strategy or tactic, maybe you want to hire me,

Speaker:

maybe you want access to me because you have very specific problems, very

Speaker:

specific questions that are worth the time and money for you to hire me.

Speaker:

And that is actually the tactic here.

Speaker:

I want you to create hour long videos sharing some of your best.

Speaker:

Go tell people what the information is that they need around this thing, what

Speaker:

it is that they need to do tactically.

Speaker:

Now, the beautiful thing here is that I've now told you go

Speaker:

share your best information.

Speaker:

Go make it an hour long, and really act like you're

Speaker:

consulting or coaching someone.

Speaker:

The good thing here is they're going to know I can trust you better because.

Speaker:

You're sharing information freely.

Speaker:

The problem here is that I've given you some information.

Speaker:

It's not specific to you, it's as specific as I can make it.

Speaker:

Talking to my cameras here, I, I don't know your situation.

Speaker:

I don't know exactly what you need, and so maybe you hire me or maybe

Speaker:

those words resonate and you said, oh.

Speaker:

Okay, perfect.

Speaker:

I can go share some of my best advice with people.

Speaker:

I can share my best information.

Speaker:

I'm gonna make it an hour long, and I'm gonna tell them what to do.

Speaker:

I'm going to tell them what it is that they need to do to fix these problems.

Speaker:

Is it going to resonate with everyone?

Speaker:

No, but maybe it gives them the tools to go and fix that thing,

Speaker:

and that's what you need to do.

Speaker:

Give your best advice away for free, because people pay for

Speaker:

access, not for the information.

Speaker:

You know, Alex Ramzi is famous for saying that, and I, I love that saying, I don't

Speaker:

know if it comes from anywhere else, but information can be found anywhere.

Speaker:

You can learn everything that I know from the internet if you wanna spend

Speaker:

five, 10 years going and researching.

Speaker:

But the wisdom and the experience and all of the things that I've gotten

Speaker:

from working with some of the top creators, thought leaders, entrepreneurs

Speaker:

in the world, you can't replicate.

Speaker:

You can't learn that from just reading or hearing about it.

Speaker:

You haven't experienced it.

Speaker:

And so it's the same with your audience, your clients,

Speaker:

they will do the same for you.

Speaker:

Maybe need a little bit more.

Speaker:

And so that's why they'll hire you.

Speaker:

That's why they'll find you, and that's why they'll keep coming

Speaker:

back to your content because you're giving 'em such amazing value.

Speaker:

So the second big idea around why YouTube based podcast is the most important thing

Speaker:

that you can do is it can be repurposed.

Speaker:

So if you are recording, let's say an hour long video podcast, you need to

Speaker:

do, you know, at least solo episodes.

Speaker:

If you wanna do interviews, that's great as well.

Speaker:

We can, but the type of content that you are creating as far

Speaker:

as your podcast goes, matters.

Speaker:

A lot.

Speaker:

So we need at least solo episodes.

Speaker:

Cause I need to know what you think as the expert.

Speaker:

I need to know what you think as the coach or the consultant.

Speaker:

What are you teaching?

Speaker:

And so if you never have an interview and never have a guest on, that's just fine.

Speaker:

Also, if you only have guests on, that might be a detriment.

Speaker:

There's a way to do that, but that's probably not the best way to do it.

Speaker:

So let's say we have this hour long piece of content.

Speaker:

You are solving a problem, you're teaching them, you're giving them

Speaker:

strategies, tactics, things like that.

Speaker:

We can now post that one on.

Speaker:

, which is great.

Speaker:

YouTube is going to do the best job at sharing the video, making new

Speaker:

money from the views on the video.

Speaker:

We'll talk about that as well, and it's going to do the best

Speaker:

at growing your audience.

Speaker:

Now, if you have a good editor or if you have this ability,

Speaker:

you can cut shorter clips.

Speaker:

We can post those as YouTube shorts, which again, YouTube will help you grow.

Speaker:

You can send those to TikTok or to Instagram or to LinkedIn or to any of the

Speaker:

other social platforms that you'd like.

Speaker:

If you're taking some of those clips and you're bringing people over to the

Speaker:

longer podcast, , that's incredible.

Speaker:

And those things can be helpful.

Speaker:

The problem is so many people wanna hop on the newest platform, whether that's

Speaker:

TikTok or you know, some of the old, slightly older, but more under leveraged

Speaker:

platforms, LinkedIn, things like that.

Speaker:

If you hop on there and you post some of this content, you're

Speaker:

like, okay, I, I've got them.

Speaker:

I, I got a lot of views, a lot of likes.

Speaker:

It's working.

Speaker:

Problem is, again, you're solving big problems.

Speaker:

You are sharing big information, big ideas, and a minute is usually only enough

Speaker:

to get them interested, to pull them over.

Speaker:

But in the education space, a minute is just not enough.

Speaker:

So there are some tactics and ways that this does work.

Speaker:

But don't think that that can be your only strategy.

Speaker:

Don't think you can only be on TikTok, you can only be on Instagram

Speaker:

or LinkedIn or these other places.

Speaker:

Some of.

Speaker:

Can work depending on what your business is.

Speaker:

Problem is people want more.

Speaker:

They want to dive deeper in with you.

Speaker:

And so that might be one-on-one time on a sales call.

Speaker:

That might be a free consulting or coaching session.

Speaker:

Or you can create hours and hours and hours of content.

Speaker:

Carefully craft this journey through 10 hours of your videos.

Speaker:

And if you're able to do that, people will know, like, and

Speaker:

trust you if they get through.

Speaker:

10 hours of that content, if they still need more help, they're gonna hire you.

Speaker:

So there's a lot of different things you can do here.

Speaker:

The other thing though, is we can pull the audio from the video podcast and

Speaker:

we can post it as an actual podcast.

Speaker:

So you have now an actual podcast as well.

Speaker:

And I know you're thinking here like this sounds like a lot of work.

Speaker:

It can be, you know, I say pick two to three platforms.

Speaker:

Email list is non-negotiable.

Speaker:

You have to have an email list.

Speaker:

You have to build your email list if you really want to build your business,

Speaker:

that is the most effective way to do it.

Speaker:

We can't really go into any depth on email in this video.

Speaker:

Maybe that'll be something we talk about in the future on how to build

Speaker:

your business with email, but that is.

Speaker:

Essential.

Speaker:

So if you want two platforms plus email, that's great.

Speaker:

Do that YouTube first.

Speaker:

Always, always first.

Speaker:

Maybe you add the podcast so you're just dripping the audio.

Speaker:

That's pretty easy.

Speaker:

We can upload that.

Speaker:

Maybe you also wanna add in TikTok or Instagram or LinkedIn,

Speaker:

something as that third platform.

Speaker:

Do you need it?

Speaker:

No, but.

Speaker:

I would absolutely recommend it.

Speaker:

If you have the bandwidth, if you have the ability, if you don't, if

Speaker:

you're like, I am, stretch the brim.

Speaker:

Just creating that one video and getting edited and post is gonna be too much.

Speaker:

Do YouTube and your email list, you don't have to do more than that.

Speaker:

You can scale later.

Speaker:

Get really, really good at this YouTube based podcast,

Speaker:

and the other things will come.

Speaker:

The other things will be there as an opportunity later, but if you

Speaker:

focus on some of these other things first, you're going to be leaving the

Speaker:

biggest opportunities on the table.

Speaker:

So what's the tactical thing that you can do here around

Speaker:

having a YouTube based podcast?

Speaker:

So the thing that you can do is to actually plan around this.

Speaker:

What is it that you're trying to accomplish with each episode?

Speaker:

Does everybody you create have to be an hour long?

Speaker:

No.

Speaker:

Maybe there's some things that, it's a tutorial, it's a how to, how do I do X?

Speaker:

How do I do Y?

Speaker:

If that's the case.

Speaker:

All you need to do is to have a 10 minute video, 15 minute video.

Speaker:

That's not what we're planning around.

Speaker:

What we're planning around for the most part is these hour long videos.

Speaker:

Are there specific questions that you get asked over and over and over?

Speaker:

If you do have questions like that, you can answer it in a podcast.

Speaker:

When people ask you that question, you can send them to the video.

Speaker:

You can create this journey that people go through through your email sequence.

Speaker:

Again, there's the email and email number one takes them.

Speaker:

, this podcast where you've talked about some of the most commonly

Speaker:

asked questions about what you do are the problem that you solve.

Speaker:

If you do this, you can save a lot of time, you can find new customers, and

Speaker:

you can help keep loyal customers longer.

Speaker:

So the thing here is that someone is actively searching for this

Speaker:

problem or solution to this problem.

Speaker:

They find you, they get your free thing, they watch your video.

Speaker:

You know, there's a way to get them on your email list, again, another video.

Speaker:

But you take them through this journey, the sequence of videos.

Speaker:

And when you do that, they're in your ecosystem.

Speaker:

They're now solving the problem that they had the biggest time, the biggest

Speaker:

issues with, you know, trying to solve.

Speaker:

And so if you're doing that for them, and they still need help after

Speaker:

they've consumed 10 or 15 hours of your content, They're, they're yours.

Speaker:

They know, like, and trust you, and you're the name that they think of when

Speaker:

they think of how to solve that problem.

Speaker:

And so the amazing thing here is, you know, we can't take this content.

Speaker:

We can repurpose it.

Speaker:

We can't put it everywhere, but just creating one piece of content allows

Speaker:

you to have so much flexibility, allows you to have the ability to go back

Speaker:

later when you do have more bandwidth and say, Hey, I now have an editor.

Speaker:

Cool.

Speaker:

I need you to take this hour long video and find nuggets, find these

Speaker:

questions that I'm answering, and take that clip of just that question.

Speaker:

We're gonna post it on TikTok, we're gonna post it on Instagram, we're gonna post it

Speaker:

on LinkedIn, and you're planning around.

Speaker:

Having these kind of micro pieces of content to be able to clip and

Speaker:

post other places, will that take more effort to be able to do that?

Speaker:

Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker:

So do you have to do that?

Speaker:

No, you can absolutely turn on the camera script out maybe the first 20 seconds.

Speaker:

First minute.

Speaker:

Uh, we have a framework that we use for the first little bit of a video.

Speaker:

Make sure it's very compelling.

Speaker:

Make sure that it hooks people in.

Speaker:

Does any of it need to be scripted or thought out beforehand?

Speaker:

No.

Speaker:

If you're very passionate about this and this is what you do day in and day out,

Speaker:

you probably have enough information in there to be able to do this.

Speaker:

And when I'm meeting with clients, when I'm talking with

Speaker:

them, , they're, they're all experts.

Speaker:

They're all really, really amazing at some, and creating content may or not

Speaker:

be that, but when you add the content layer to what they're already amazing

Speaker:

at, it makes things easy because the information that they're sharing is

Speaker:

so valuable that a lot of times, as long as it looks okay and sounds okay,

Speaker:

and I do try to help people work on.

Speaker:

Sounding amazing and looking amazing, but even if it's just okay, people will

Speaker:

listen because I have a $10,000 problem.

Speaker:

Whatever progress I can make right now, I, I'm all for it.

Speaker:

Sometimes people have more time, and if they do, maybe they'll

Speaker:

watch one of your videos and say, cool, I'm gonna hire this person.

Speaker:

They have more time in the money because they have a big problem.

Speaker:

, they watch 10 hours of your content, they get progress, they get out of,

Speaker:

you know, maybe a little bit out of the hole that, and then they say it's gonna

Speaker:

be worth it just to hire this person.

Speaker:

So worst case scenario, when I say worst case, but this is the

Speaker:

biggest and most positive benefit of creating content at all, is you

Speaker:

impact hundreds or thousands of lives.

Speaker:

when people are creating content right now, they're like, ah,

Speaker:

they've only got a hundred views.

Speaker:

It only got a thousand views.

Speaker:

It only got, you know, my entire channel's only gotten a hundred thousand views.

Speaker:

It's like, do you realize how many people that is?

Speaker:

You know, if you were to fill the biggest football stadium in America,

Speaker:

it, it's not a hundred thousand people.

Speaker:

Maybe it's, I don't, I don't actually watch football that much, but,

Speaker:

um, you know, I live near Denver.

Speaker:

Denver Stadium is like 76,000 people.

Speaker:

That is a lot of people, and I have videos on TikTok that have millions of views.

Speaker:

And you know, this channel has tens of thousands of views.

Speaker:

Actually, I think it's, it's over hundreds of thousands now, and it,

Speaker:

it, I've impacted that many people.

Speaker:

That is what you're going for.

Speaker:

That's the side benefit.

Speaker:

If you only ever actually bring on, you know, a few dozen clients.

Speaker:

Cool.

Speaker:

, but think about the work that you've done in the past and how

Speaker:

many clients you've actually helped.

Speaker:

Now, think of content, you know, bad views are in the hundreds, , you know, you're

Speaker:

not doing well unless you get thousands.

Speaker:

Like you are impacting way more lives and way more people than you ever did

Speaker:

in one-to-one content group coaching.

Speaker:

Maybe if you're speaking in front of large stages of people, you're

Speaker:

impacting that many people for an hour.

Speaker:

Now, think of that scale.

Speaker:

It's replicatable.

Speaker:

It's it, it lives forever without you, and people are watching it day and

Speaker:

night and getting impacted and helped.

Speaker:

So it's, it's an amazing thing.

Speaker:

You can repurpose it, you can put it everywhere.

Speaker:

We kind of shared that strategy within.

Speaker:

The big idea is that it can go everywhere and how to go everywhere.

Speaker:

Make sure you're focused on the YouTube content first.

Speaker:

It can be repurposed later if you need it to, but email list really is essential.

Speaker:

You have to build that email list if you're going to, you

Speaker:

know, really be successful doing.

Speaker:

. You can't just create content.

Speaker:

You can't, but you're going to have a lot more financial and mission-based

Speaker:

success if you include the email list.

Speaker:

So make sure that you know how to do that and you are, you're incorporating that.

Speaker:

So the third thing or big idea that I really wanna talk about is that creating

Speaker:

content forces you to practice, forces you to take all the thoughts that you

Speaker:

have, that you share with clients, and one, condense them down into something

Speaker:

that's shareable, something that people can watch, something that people can

Speaker:

get value from, but also be general.

Speaker:

that, you know, they, they can actually apply it.

Speaker:

You know, if someone asks me a very specific question, for example, I

Speaker:

have a client today, we're gonna be deep diving into their video.

Speaker:

We're gonna break it down minute by minute.

Speaker:

What happened?

Speaker:

What went well, what didn't?

Speaker:

Where are we gonna put new things?

Speaker:

All of the details, everything about it, we're gonna break it down.

Speaker:

And so, That's not scalable.

Speaker:

I, I, I could go through that video.

Speaker:

I, we keep our client list private cuz you know, that's the type of client list

Speaker:

that we have and they appreciate that.

Speaker:

So I wouldn't actually do that.

Speaker:

So if you ever see a video that I'm breaking down, it's not a client's video

Speaker:

unless they've given me permission.

Speaker:

Um, but the thing is, , it forces you to get better at what you're doing because

Speaker:

you are day in and day out sharing with, you know, clients very specifically.

Speaker:

Maybe in a group that's still fairly specific or you're having to practice

Speaker:

doing that for someone you've never met.

Speaker:

Someone like I, I don't know you.

Speaker:

Maybe I do, maybe I don't.

Speaker:

Um, if I don't know, you reach out.

Speaker:

I'd love, love for you to leave a comment, reach out, um, get to know you better.

Speaker:

But the thing here, You are practicing, and so when you give these coaching or

Speaker:

consulting services, create courses, whatever it is that you're doing,

Speaker:

you're better because you've practiced more, you've put more hours in.

Speaker:

Second, you're gonna show up better on camera.

Speaker:

So if you ever do an interview, you ever get invited on TV or a podcast

Speaker:

or anyone else's social media.

Speaker:

You've practiced , you're going to look better, you're going to

Speaker:

sound better, you're gonna be more.

Speaker:

And so, you know, there are a lot of people that when we

Speaker:

watch the podcast, it's boring.

Speaker:

It really is.

Speaker:

The person is phenomenal at what they do.

Speaker:

They just don't know how to share the message in social

Speaker:

media and with the reach and.

Speaker:

How well media, social media multiplies your effort and your content.

Speaker:

You need to get good at this.

Speaker:

If you are not doing this, you're gonna fall behind in 2023, because

Speaker:

what this does, you're practicing, you're sharing your message.

Speaker:

It's long tail marketing.

Speaker:

People are finding these messages and they're coming

Speaker:

to you to get your services.

Speaker:

I can't tell you how many times when I've posted these content, someone reaches

Speaker:

out to me and says, Hey, I love this.

Speaker:

How can I work with you?

Speaker:

How can I hire?

Speaker:

I've had companies cuz of my other videos, send me equipment, do deals

Speaker:

where I help share their app or, you know, create a course on how to use their

Speaker:

software service because I'm already using it because it already aligns with

Speaker:

what I'm doing and I'm able to help them share their message and their vision.

Speaker:

These are companies that, you know, I, I started in YouTube, not consulting

Speaker:

or coaching, but creating content.

Speaker:

And I loved so many different brands of, you know, camera gear.

Speaker:

Some of my dream lists brands reached out to me because of.

Speaker:

Content that they saw on TikTok content that they saw on YouTube.

Speaker:

It, it brings opportunities and so it's going to do the same

Speaker:

thing for you with clients.

Speaker:

It's done the same thing with me with clients, the people that I work

Speaker:

with, the clients that I work with.

Speaker:

Row 7, 8, 9, figure businesses with media, with marketing that comes from creating

Speaker:

this content that is evergreen, creating this content that is going out to the

Speaker:

world that is being multiplied, that you will never actually know the reach of.

Speaker:

You can measure it some on YouTube, but when you get all the platforms involved.

Speaker:

. Think about each individual person being impacted by the content you're creating.

Speaker:

You can't measure it.

Speaker:

It's, it's going to build your business.

Speaker:

It's going to build your mission, and people are gonna remember you.

Speaker:

So the thing here is that creating content is going.

Speaker:

To make you better at creating content one, but at better at coaching,

Speaker:

consulting, doing the thing that you do.

Speaker:

So the tactical advice here is that when you first start this, make a point, make

Speaker:

a scheduled best you can to record as many times as you can in that first month.

Speaker:

You know, if that's daily for an hour, do it daily for half an hour, do it.

Speaker:

You need to get in front of the camera as often as possible

Speaker:

in that first 30 to 60 days.

Speaker:

After that, if you're doing once a week.

Speaker:

Okay, cool.

Speaker:

We want you posting more than that, but I just wanna let you.

Speaker:

Practicing more upfront is worth the effort is worth the time.

Speaker:

You know, if you can hold a schedule of say, recording twice a week, three

Speaker:

times a week, um, you know, there are different tactics we can use here, but

Speaker:

if you can hold that schedule, double it, triple it for that first 30 to 60 days.

Speaker:

That way you get used to recording, you get used to being in front of the camera.

Speaker:

You're gonna get a lot of your.

Speaker:

Crappy content out because your first videos are going to suck, and that's okay.

Speaker:

Just leave them up.

Speaker:

Let people watch them.

Speaker:

Let people watch the journey of you progressing 'em, you getting better.

Speaker:

That's, that's something that's helpful for people.

Speaker:

Two, you're going to be able to get a lot more content out.

Speaker:

So if someone sees video 13 and they really like it, they have 12 more

Speaker:

potatoes to go watch, maybe Really they're not the best, but really

Speaker:

quickly, you've put out a lot of content.

Speaker:

You know, people are excited to see your channel, but there's

Speaker:

not a whole lot to dive into, and so we're gonna get that outta.

Speaker:

Tactically speaking, that's what you wanna do.

Speaker:

Get the practice in now.

Speaker:

Get as many reps in as you can, as fast as you can.

Speaker:

Um, don't wait.

Speaker:

If, if that doesn't fit your schedule.

Speaker:

Now, just start really, you don't have to have the fancy camera,

Speaker:

you don't have to have equipment.

Speaker:

You do want probably an okay mic and your smartphone is great, but get going.

Speaker:

Go create that content and go start.

Speaker:

So now that you've decided to start a YouTube based podcast, what you

Speaker:

need to know is how do you actually create great podcast episodes?

Speaker:

You know, solo episodes, but also interview episodes if you want to

Speaker:

still be seen as an expert to get people to know I can trust you.
