If Your Channel Isn't Growing THIS Is Why
You are going to die…
Wait, what does that have to do with growing on YouTube?
Surprisingly more than you think…
As YouTubers we all want to get views, gain subscribers and make money
While these are all admirable goals it often blinds us to what’s most important
Serving those that watch our videos
What we often overlook is that a view isn’t just someone watching our video
A view is someone trading a piece of their life in exchange for the value that our video provides
When you look at it this way it becomes clear as to how consequential it is to make valuable videos
Put another way, the goal of a creator should be to create videos that viewers are happy to have traded their precious time to consume
If your channel is presently struggling to grow, ask yourself one question…
“How valuable are my videos?”
Think about a Mr. Beast video for example
The video is of high value due to its:
Extraordinary idea
High production value
High entertainment value
It’s for this reason that his videos garner 10,000,000s of views
I can already hear you saying to yourself
“Adam, I don’t have the (team/budget/experience) that Mr. Beast has”
The good news is that no one does
And yet numerous channels are making full-time incomes on YouTube
How? By producing high value content
Here are some example of high value videos and explanations of what makes them attractive to prospective viewers
Example 1: I Bought Ali Abdaal’s $1495 YouTube Course So You Dont Have To.
125,000 views with only 2,500 subscribers. But how?
One word - value.
Think about the value that this video offers
Viewers can trade 13 minutes of their time
In exchange for the main takeaways of a $1,495 course
Pretty good deal if you ask me
Plus for those who are far from being able to afford this high-ticket program
It gives them access to information that would never have been within reach
This high degree of value combined with significant appeal is that’s pushed this video to 100,000+ views and appreciable channel growth
Example 2: MrBeast being a YouTube Genius for 10 minutes straight
Just under 4 million views - a feat that few channels ever achieve
But how? Value…
How long do you think it would take you to compile all of Mr.Beast’s best advice from every single podcast, interview or video that he’s done?
Days, weeks, months?
Or you could just watch this 10 minute (actually 9:55) video and get those YouTube gems much more expeditiously
Given that we just went over how precious a viewers time is
Compacting high value information into a concise video is a powerful way to attract and retain viewers
Example 3: Asking A Billionaire How To Make $1,000,000
How many times have you interviewed a billionaire?
If you’re like me then the answer is 0.
But imagine how much wisdom a billionaire could give you
Well, because of Noah Kagan you don’t have to imagine
You just need to watch his interview of him and a billionaire on a private jet
The value of this video is not only the advice shared but the exclusivity of the experience
If you can’t enjoy the experience of a private jet in person you can piggyback off the one that comes with watching Noah’s video
So what’s the takeaway here?
No, it’s not that you have to find a billionaire to interview…
Before making a video ask yourself, “how much value does this video provide to my audience?”
If it would be a video they would undoubtedly watch then start producing
If not, go back to the drawing board because its only the most valuable videos that will move your channel forward
I hope today’s email shines some light on a common growth issue many YouTubers face
Until next week,
Adam
