1
00:00:00,150 --> 00:00:03,720
So now one, take a video to talk about how to actually prompt more engagement.

2
00:00:03,750 --> 00:00:03,990
Right.

3
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:05,550
How do you prompt more likes?

4
00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:07,060
And how how he proper comments.

5
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:08,250
How do you get more subscribers?

6
00:00:08,490 --> 00:00:09,300
So on and so forth.

7
00:00:09,330 --> 00:00:12,990
So let's move on first and foremost to getting more subscribers.

8
00:00:13,020 --> 00:00:18,930
Now, the best way, in my opinion and the easiest way is actually the simplest way to get more subscribers.

9
00:00:19,170 --> 00:00:22,160
And that is just to simply ask for subs in your videos.

10
00:00:22,170 --> 00:00:22,410
Right.

11
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,130
You'll get more subs on average if you just suddenly ask for them.

12
00:00:26,370 --> 00:00:31,710
The key here that I want to emphasize is suddenly, OK, so you want to make a point, say, at your

13
00:00:31,710 --> 00:00:36,150
video, but make a point to say it's suddenly there are certain ways to go about through that doing

14
00:00:36,150 --> 00:00:36,390
that.

15
00:00:36,420 --> 00:00:41,220
One of the best ways that I found is actually either to just be genuine and honest and be like, if

16
00:00:41,220 --> 00:00:44,120
you like this content, you know, I really enjoy creating content like this.

17
00:00:44,130 --> 00:00:47,600
And I have a bunch of other great ideas on the backburner that I want to create.

18
00:00:47,850 --> 00:00:48,910
If you like this kind of content.

19
00:00:48,930 --> 00:00:50,250
Make sure to hit the subscribe button.

20
00:00:50,430 --> 00:00:54,930
Or you can basically say something like, you know, we may you know, I'm I'm pumping out videos up

21
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,880
on online marketing every other day.

22
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,880
If you if you're interested, hit the subscribe button so you don't miss any tips.

23
00:01:00,420 --> 00:01:01,350
Something like that.

24
00:01:01,380 --> 00:01:02,910
Obviously, I'm just making them up on the spot.

25
00:01:03,150 --> 00:01:07,410
You can do a better job of coming up with, like a sentence or two, script yourself around your topic

26
00:01:07,410 --> 00:01:07,820
in niche.

27
00:01:08,010 --> 00:01:11,840
But I'll just be either be genuine or be funny and make it into a joke.

28
00:01:11,850 --> 00:01:12,030
Right.

29
00:01:12,030 --> 00:01:16,250
So the other best way that I found is to give you the other example of, like, the lists.

30
00:01:16,290 --> 00:01:16,590
Right.

31
00:01:16,740 --> 00:01:21,810
So if you're going through it like a tip list or like maybe you're going through like, you know, already

32
00:01:21,870 --> 00:01:25,800
the example of like a tip list, like eight tips and then like giving the like the seventh tip or the

33
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,770
sixth tip or whatever would be the smash to like button.

34
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:29,040
Right.

35
00:01:29,070 --> 00:01:29,850
And then you're joking.

36
00:01:29,850 --> 00:01:31,460
Then you move on to the actual seventh tip.

37
00:01:31,470 --> 00:01:31,740
Right.

38
00:01:32,070 --> 00:01:33,270
So that's a good example of one.

39
00:01:33,420 --> 00:01:37,470
But to give you another example of how to actually implement that, let's say you're doing like a I

40
00:01:37,470 --> 00:01:41,460
don't know, like the top the top 10 soccer teams in Europe.

41
00:01:41,670 --> 00:01:41,940
Right.

42
00:01:41,970 --> 00:01:43,720
And you're going like the top.

43
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,280
The number one is this.

44
00:01:45,300 --> 00:01:46,050
Number two is that.

45
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,190
Number three is Real Madrid.

46
00:01:47,190 --> 00:01:48,810
Number four is Mannu.

47
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,180
Number five is, you know, whatever.

48
00:01:50,750 --> 00:01:52,570
And then you're going like number six it.

49
00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:56,520
And to find out number six, you're actually going to have hit the subscribe button and then you wait

50
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,440
a couple of seconds and then you're like, well, you know, you hit the scribe on, you know, do you

51
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,740
do you not want to find out number six?

52
00:02:02,130 --> 00:02:03,360
And then you, like, move on to.

53
00:02:03,390 --> 00:02:03,750
OK.

54
00:02:03,810 --> 00:02:04,380
There you go.

55
00:02:04,410 --> 00:02:04,690
All right.

56
00:02:04,710 --> 00:02:05,700
So number six is.

57
00:02:05,940 --> 00:02:07,170
And it's just like a little joke.

58
00:02:07,380 --> 00:02:09,390
Now, obviously, you have to have self-awareness here.

59
00:02:09,630 --> 00:02:11,970
You don't want to go out of your way to be something that you're not.

60
00:02:12,090 --> 00:02:13,680
I'm not necessarily like that.

61
00:02:13,710 --> 00:02:16,020
I've tried to put that in videos before myself.

62
00:02:16,230 --> 00:02:19,860
And you can kind of see if you, like, rewind back like like half a minute to when I'm actually doing

63
00:02:19,860 --> 00:02:20,030
it.

64
00:02:20,270 --> 00:02:21,720
And I'm not the best at communicating that.

65
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:22,560
More straightforward.

66
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:22,990
I'm Leslie.

67
00:02:23,010 --> 00:02:24,930
Kind of entertaining, to be honest.

68
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,370
I try to be a little bit more entertaining, but, you know, it's just not my personality a lot of

69
00:02:29,370 --> 00:02:29,610
times.

70
00:02:29,650 --> 00:02:31,410
So, yeah, there's some self-awareness there.

71
00:02:31,410 --> 00:02:35,310
And understand is that, you know, the route you want to go, do you feel comfortable doing something

72
00:02:35,310 --> 00:02:37,170
like that or is it kind of forced?

73
00:02:37,230 --> 00:02:37,670
Literally.

74
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,270
I've recorded videos where I try to force it before and then I go back and I edit the video in my career

75
00:02:42,270 --> 00:02:43,920
pro and I completely cut it out.

76
00:02:43,950 --> 00:02:47,720
And I've done that like three times now because it just doesn't come off when I'm re watching it.

77
00:02:48,050 --> 00:02:52,530
It kind of organically, it kind of feels forced, like I wrote that in there and I don't think it looks

78
00:02:52,530 --> 00:02:52,680
good.

79
00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:53,970
So you have to have self-awareness there.

80
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000
But those are just two examples of ways that you can suddenly do it.

81
00:02:57,180 --> 00:03:01,350
The best way, in my opinion, if you're not comfortable doing anything like that, is to just be genuine,

82
00:03:01,380 --> 00:03:02,410
just simply ask for it.

83
00:03:02,410 --> 00:03:05,520
Be like if if you guys hit the subscribe button, you know, I'd really appreciate it.

84
00:03:05,550 --> 00:03:05,960
You're gonna get.

85
00:03:06,090 --> 00:03:07,260
This is what you're gonna get, right.

86
00:03:07,470 --> 00:03:09,060
This is what I'm going to give you by doing so.

87
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,550
So the key here is obviously subtle.

88
00:03:11,670 --> 00:03:12,360
Don't beg.

89
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,330
Please don't don't be the person that's like please, please, guys.

90
00:03:15,330 --> 00:03:19,450
I really want to get to 100 hundred subscribers or please guys, I'm really close to that thousand mark.

91
00:03:19,450 --> 00:03:21,840
Just hit that subscribe on because nobody's gonna do it.

92
00:03:21,870 --> 00:03:24,070
That's psychology one to want if you beg and plead.

93
00:03:24,090 --> 00:03:25,200
Nobody's gonna want to help you.

94
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:26,310
I'm just being honest.

95
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:31,350
So you definitely don't want to badger plead and you don't want to be the person commenting on other

96
00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:35,010
videos saying, you know, check out my channel or sub to me.

97
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,490
Now, we did talk about and we definitely will talk about later on.

98
00:03:38,610 --> 00:03:41,700
I added a video on the actual commenting method that's going to help you grow.

99
00:03:41,910 --> 00:03:43,320
So we did touch on that already.

100
00:03:43,770 --> 00:03:48,640
But there's a key there's a key difference with the comedy method and commenting on video saying subscribe

101
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,770
my channel or commenting on video saying sub to sub for sub or sub.

102
00:03:52,770 --> 00:03:54,330
To me, guys, I have great content.

103
00:03:54,660 --> 00:03:55,350
You don't want to do that.

104
00:03:55,350 --> 00:03:56,250
You won't be subtle about it.

105
00:03:56,250 --> 00:03:56,420
Right.

106
00:03:56,430 --> 00:04:00,870
You want to comment something thoughtful and give value to the video in the comments section and let

107
00:04:00,870 --> 00:04:05,700
people organically find out that you have a channel you don't want to ask them or tell people, hey,

108
00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:06,780
I make videos too.

109
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,070
OK, so don't do that.

110
00:04:08,070 --> 00:04:08,730
Don't beg.

111
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,580
Don't be the person commenting saying check out my channel now.

112
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,130
Same thing with likes you wanted us asked for what's right.

113
00:04:14,190 --> 00:04:17,550
You're gonna get more likes on average if you just ask for them.

114
00:04:17,790 --> 00:04:21,360
Every single video that I asked for likes and I don't do it every single video, but every single video

115
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:22,080
I asked for likes.

116
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,920
And I basically, you know, suddenly say, if you got you know, if you guys appreciate the content

117
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,660
value in today's video, hit that like.

118
00:04:27,660 --> 00:04:28,590
But I'd really appreciate it.

119
00:04:28,620 --> 00:04:33,120
Something as simple like that will actually remind people to, hey, hit the like button, because a

120
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,240
lot of times I'm very conscious of commenting and I watch a lot of videos.

121
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,490
And I'm also a content creator, right?

122
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,330
You obviously are if you're watching this as well.

123
00:04:39,570 --> 00:04:43,920
And there are plenty of times where I'm watching a video and I completely forget to hit the like button

124
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,810
just cause I'm not constantly thinking, okay, what's a video like?

125
00:04:46,810 --> 00:04:47,340
Can comment.

126
00:04:47,340 --> 00:04:47,550
Right.

127
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:48,840
Watch the video like in comment.

128
00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:52,680
Sometimes I get in the viewer mentality where I'm just watching the video because I want to enjoy the

129
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,120
content and I'm not thinking about engaging for the sake of the creator.

130
00:04:56,130 --> 00:04:58,860
So if you ask and just remind them from time to time.

131
00:04:59,780 --> 00:05:03,570
Go a long way to actually help you out and get more likes, which obviously increases your engagement,

132
00:05:03,750 --> 00:05:07,620
which obviously will be a snowball effect with the algorithm, you'll get more views and potential subscribers

133
00:05:07,620 --> 00:05:08,490
and so on, so forth.

134
00:05:08,850 --> 00:05:11,970
So you want to be real and genuine a lot of times, in my opinion.

135
00:05:12,030 --> 00:05:16,170
Now, you can definitely, by all means, you know, work in something funny here as well.

136
00:05:16,380 --> 00:05:18,000
You can just like the last thing we like.

137
00:05:18,090 --> 00:05:20,850
And you hit that like button, you know, throw it in like that.

138
00:05:20,850 --> 00:05:22,350
Just kind of like to subscribe as well.

139
00:05:22,620 --> 00:05:27,070
So I like to be real and genuine that that kind of fits my personality in the way that I create videos

140
00:05:27,090 --> 00:05:27,630
a little better.

141
00:05:27,810 --> 00:05:30,450
But you can also, you know, make it into a joke if you can.

142
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,290
You know, Kate, you know, overall, you're real and genuine or you communicated as a joke.

143
00:05:34,740 --> 00:05:38,670
As long as you're basically communicating that, you know, the engagement helps and you really appreciate

144
00:05:38,670 --> 00:05:38,820
it.

145
00:05:38,970 --> 00:05:40,560
People will go out of their way to help you.

146
00:05:40,590 --> 00:05:45,690
Don't you know, a lot of people have kind of gone in the marketing and e-commerce and like online entrepreneurship

147
00:05:45,870 --> 00:05:49,080
kind of world where you're creating content right now, which is what we're talking about.

148
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,250
A lot of people are trying to market to people and a lot of people are trying to game people.

149
00:05:53,250 --> 00:05:57,430
And like you don't send them through this funnel that's going to make them opt in and then, you know,

150
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,360
get them on the back end to 10x the revenue with that customer.

151
00:06:00,630 --> 00:06:01,230
You know what I mean?

152
00:06:01,230 --> 00:06:02,790
Like, we all know what I'm talking about.

153
00:06:02,820 --> 00:06:09,360
So if you if you are just real and honest and genuine and straightforward with with your audience,

154
00:06:09,420 --> 00:06:11,430
it's going to be a breath of fresh air for them.

155
00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:14,640
If they're going to they're not not going to want to think that you they're not going to think that

156
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,790
you have some ulterior motive or some hidden agenda.

157
00:06:18,090 --> 00:06:22,110
Instead, you're going to be breath fresh air because you're literally telling them, hey, guys, if

158
00:06:22,110 --> 00:06:22,680
you had to like what?

159
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:23,610
And I really appreciate it.

160
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:24,570
You know, you're not begging.

161
00:06:24,630 --> 00:06:26,100
You're not you're not doing anything like that.

162
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:28,620
You're being subtle and just being honest and genuine.

163
00:06:29,140 --> 00:06:30,810
And it will go a long way, I promise you that.

164
00:06:30,840 --> 00:06:34,680
So say something like, you know, if hey, if you guys got value from this video, hit that like button

165
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,770
or, you know, if you enjoy videos like this, make sure to hit that like button.

166
00:06:37,770 --> 00:06:42,320
So, you know, I know to make more than something simple like that communicates real, genuine, honest

167
00:06:42,390 --> 00:06:44,210
straightforwardness and that you appreciate it.

168
00:06:44,220 --> 00:06:44,930
Stuff like that.

169
00:06:44,940 --> 00:06:45,230
Right.

170
00:06:45,540 --> 00:06:51,330
So moving on to asking for comments now you can ask open ended question for comments and you can also

171
00:06:51,330 --> 00:06:56,220
ask people their opinion on a topic because people love to give their opinion.

172
00:06:56,250 --> 00:07:00,060
Now, those are two of the simplest and easiest ways to prompt comments, and they work very, very

173
00:07:00,060 --> 00:07:00,390
well.

174
00:07:00,690 --> 00:07:04,830
One of the other ways that I've that I've been seeing and kind of testing out myself to prompt comments

175
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,880
lately and obviously I haven't created any good YouTube content like we talked about recently within

176
00:07:08,970 --> 00:07:13,500
the past month or month and a half, because I've been working all on, you know, actually scripting

177
00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:18,150
and making sure that I have all the tips and tip, like literal tidbits of information in this course

178
00:07:18,150 --> 00:07:20,630
for you guys, because I want to make this the best.

179
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,620
YouTube could take a back burner for me right now.

180
00:07:22,860 --> 00:07:23,880
I want this course to be great.

181
00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:27,600
But before I actually started creating this course, one of the things that I was playing around with

182
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:33,330
a lot with comments to a prompt more engagement was actually making mistakes like little tiny mistakes

183
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:33,920
on purpose.

184
00:07:33,930 --> 00:07:34,170
Right.

185
00:07:34,590 --> 00:07:36,510
And what I would do is to give you an example.

186
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,430
I remember us creating a video and I was running through like it was like things that rich people do

187
00:07:41,670 --> 00:07:42,850
that, you know, poor people don't.

188
00:07:42,870 --> 00:07:47,310
And how you can implement those the things that, you know, both poor people and rich people do, because

189
00:07:47,310 --> 00:07:51,570
a lot of people talk about the benefits of both as like how how you can implement the benefits of both

190
00:07:51,570 --> 00:07:53,390
of those into growing as an entrepreneur.

191
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:53,640
Right.

192
00:07:53,940 --> 00:07:56,640
To put simply, I was that's just what the video is about.

193
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,870
And one of the things that I did is I'm showing a picture on the screen of a Lamborghini.

194
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:01,170
Right.

195
00:08:01,410 --> 00:08:03,480
We all know what a Lamborghini looks like.

196
00:08:03,500 --> 00:08:03,720
Right.

197
00:08:04,050 --> 00:08:07,500
And I just made the simple mistake of being like and if you look on the screen right now, you'll see

198
00:08:07,500 --> 00:08:07,720
this.

199
00:08:07,740 --> 00:08:13,050
This Ferrari and obviously was a full on Lamborghini and ninety nine point nine percent of people watching

200
00:08:13,050 --> 00:08:15,450
the video are going to know that that's a Lamborghini.

201
00:08:15,450 --> 00:08:15,750
Right.

202
00:08:16,020 --> 00:08:18,330
But I said Ferrari and I said Ferrari on purpose.

203
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,000
And the reason being is I wanted to see if that could prompt engagement.

204
00:08:21,030 --> 00:08:25,070
The comment section, I wanted to see just how many people were going to correct me in the comments

205
00:08:25,070 --> 00:08:25,470
section.

206
00:08:25,740 --> 00:08:26,400
And guess what?

207
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:26,800
There is.

208
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:32,370
I think it was like 30 or 40 comments on that video overnight, which usually I get like 10 to 15 max

209
00:08:32,430 --> 00:08:32,960
overnight.

210
00:08:33,250 --> 00:08:35,130
And at times, like if the video was viral.

211
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,630
But we're trying to say is that prompted a lot more engagement, probably like 300 percent engagement

212
00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:40,530
than I'm used to.

213
00:08:40,890 --> 00:08:41,160
Right.

214
00:08:41,310 --> 00:08:45,750
So what I'm saying is you can implement that earth or little, you know, get innovative little kind

215
00:08:45,750 --> 00:08:50,400
of mistakes here and there or, you know, asking people to to open ended questions or kind of stirring

216
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,740
up controversy in smart ways.

217
00:08:52,890 --> 00:08:55,740
Obviously, you don't want to get a little crazy with this and you don't want to make if you're gonna

218
00:08:55,740 --> 00:08:56,630
make mistakes, too.

219
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,260
You don't want you making mistakes like that.

220
00:08:58,260 --> 00:08:59,030
Every single video.

221
00:08:59,040 --> 00:08:59,220
Right.

222
00:08:59,250 --> 00:09:02,970
You do want to be calling the Lamborghini a Ferrari, every video or Ferrari, a Lamborghini, ever

223
00:09:02,970 --> 00:09:08,340
video or, you know, saying that an outline is a is like a, you know, a book or something like that.

224
00:09:08,340 --> 00:09:09,000
Something simple.

225
00:09:09,010 --> 00:09:09,350
Right.

226
00:09:10,170 --> 00:09:10,980
You don't want to be doing that.

227
00:09:10,980 --> 00:09:14,250
Every video that people are going to think you're stupid, but you can't play around.

228
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,460
You can get innovative and you can prompt engagement and fun ways.

229
00:09:17,490 --> 00:09:18,420
Just use your brain.

230
00:09:18,690 --> 00:09:22,500
I know that you guys can come up with stuff because we're all very, very smart in our own ways.

231
00:09:22,710 --> 00:09:26,700
And that's just an example of one of the ways that you can get innovative and, you know, basically

232
00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:31,830
use the, you know, people's egos to comment more on your videos.

233
00:09:31,860 --> 00:09:32,050
Right.

234
00:09:32,070 --> 00:09:34,530
So these are just some simple ways that you can prompt engagement.

235
00:09:34,590 --> 00:09:38,100
Obviously, the more comments you get, the better you can on your videos are going to do, the more

236
00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:39,460
common or the more likes you get.

237
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:40,110
Same thing.

238
00:09:40,110 --> 00:09:43,230
And obviously the more subs is a snowball effect as well.

239
00:09:43,260 --> 00:09:45,090
So hopefully you implement these topics.

240
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,370
They go a long way to help your engagement and then grow your channel.
