Just something to remember, if you make 1% improvements on each video starting now, a year from now, your videos if compared will be COMPLETELY different

Name one thing you've learned this week! And - I wanted to put something out there - I watch an average of 20-30 videos a week of YouTube videos on how to be better at a skill/ thumbnail design/ etc - would a "Here's the best video of the week" be helpful?

Idea > Packaging > Video As simply as possible, ideation should take a good amount of time. People click for an idea, even if it's got great packaging, no one will click if it's not a killer idea. Packaging. If no one clicks, no one watches. Your thumbnails and Titles have to be insanely clickable. The aim (at least for my channels) is above 30% when they are under 10k views, and then it drops from there as they get more views. If you get a much lower CTR, the problem is either the idea or the thumbnail/title combo. It can't be the video because CTR is decided before people click into the video Video - First 10 seconds, first 30 seconds, and then the rest. That's the order I would edit in. For storytelling, you can't get much better than Dan Harmon's story circle Hope everyone is having the happiest of holidays

It's about picking your niche - so if you've been wondering about that, this should help. There's also a small section on ideating, no flashy edits, just things that have worked and will continue to work. Next I'll talk about how to pick winning formats
