How CAP LOCKS Gets You More Views On YouTube
This one key will teach you a ton about YouTube...
There are certain items in our day to day lives that have transcended their utility
So much so that we refer to them by their brand names
For instance, no one calls a tissue a tissue
They call it a Kleenex instead
No one says they will browse the internet for something
They say they will Google it instead…
Another common branded name is the Cap Locks key
Which replaces “capitalizing” in most people’s vocabulary…
Before I lose you on this email, here’s why this is important
How you brand your ideas is just as important as the ideas themselves
And I want to share an example of what I mean
This is a very popular video made by Rian Doris
1.2 million views in just 4 months time
When you look at the thumbnail, there’s something interesting that appears
You see the text “The Engage Rule”
To most people, this is some unknown rule that prompts intrigue
And motivates people to click and learn more
If you were to watch the video you would soon find out that “The Engage Rule” is just the concept that you must take the first step when approaching a difficult task
Now, could Rian have just said that on the thumbnail? Sure…
But instead he created a unique branding for the idea
A great example of this unique branding is red velvet cake
This cake is branded as a unique flavored cake that needs to be a top of your dessert menu
When in reality it’s just a plain cake with some coloring added…
But the packaging in this case is everything
And that’s what intrigues those who come across it
Here’s another example
Let’s say you are making a video about saving money
Rather than saying “budget your money”
Coin a method with a unique name
For example, you could suggest people use the “division method”
Where they divide their monthly budget into 4 to keep track of costs on a more detailed basis
These unique branding angles work surprisingly well and can add that extra flavor to your videos to prompt more people to engage
So go grab some red velvet cake, start using this strategy and see how your channel takes off
