Just created this video with claude AI, it wasn't just 1 prompt. It was many revisions to get EXACTLY what I wanted. AI can do a lot of the work for you, but you need to use the skills AI doesn't have, and that's creativity. Raw footage is from @josephswork on instagram

Sorry for the lack of posts, been focusing on some personal stuff that will likely take a few months. Hope everyone understands.

Just got off a consulting call with a client who wanted help with a direction for their YouTube channel, Here's a basic run down of how anyone can do this: 1. Pick your branding. What do you want your channel to be like? do you want it to be serious and educational? or entertaining and funny? Pick your overall tone and vibe you want. 2. Pick your niche and niche down more. You need to have a niche, everyone knows that. But what 96% of beginners miss is that you need to niche down EVEN MORE. What do I mean by this? Everyone teaches finance, everyone does gaming. But what makes the audience feel like they should keep watching? NICHE DOWN. Teaching business tips? Make videos teaching people how to make their first business, what business they should pick, etc. Niche down to fit 1 interest perfectly rather than everyones half interest. 3. Spot your current area's of opportunity, and focus on just that. My client had great video ideas but lacked packaging, her intro didn't fulfill the promise in the title, the thumbnail didn't align with the title. Everything looked as though it was put together quickly even though they spent countless hours making that video.

Following a system for your YouTube Packaging MATTERS. What do I mean by this? Building a system you follow for creating your packaging helps you in many ways. 1. It builds consistency. Consistency is key, we all know this. But it matters because if you follow the same system consistently, you willl have the same consistent problems, making it easier to spot and eliminate. 2. You can always improve it Building a system doesn't mean you need to stick to it forever, as you grow you will get better and decide what needs more time and what needs less time. 3. It helps you mentally. Following a system that is proven to work, or at least you have a high belief in will always make you feel more confident in your work. Confidence in your work whether it should be there or not will always help.

Why Understanding your Audience MATTERS You need to know the reason behind the click if you want more clicks. People click on videos not because the thumbnail looks nice, they click because to gain something. It’s always has and will be... A Solution The reason people are watching any video is to get a solution to their problem, this could be anything from needing help on an issue so they need a tutorial, or they are bored and want something entertaining. This is a core foundation of packaging for YouTube. Most people know this yet completely skip over it time and time again. Focus on why you audience should want to watch your videos and you will grow so much quicker. Focus on why you audience should want to watch your videos and you will grow so much quicker.

Remade a thumbnail for @uziprints with the goal to involve more strategy. Title: "how to get guru level dropshipping knowledge" To improve the thumbnail I did research and tried to understand the audience of this niche. 'Why would they click?' and focus on that. Here is a FREE breakdown of exactly how I transformed it: docs.google.com/document/d/1… - DMs are open for commission

Packaging Study of @marktilbury's most popular video Packaging breakdown: Idea: What is it: The idea is about teaching you how to do AI dropshipping to make money online. Does it align with the audience: Yes, it aligns perfectly with his target audience, the younger audience are familiar with AI, they are familiar with dropshipping. It hits their interests very well. Especially doing it for 7 days as well, it makes people curious as to if they could replicate it and make money in 7 days too. Does it work? Why? It works because it aligns with the audience, its a new topic (at the time of upload), and the time restriction makes it entertaining to watch as its a challenge. Thumbnail: What is it? Element 1 (subject): Mark tilbury, smiling, wearing blue. Element 2 (graphics): Shopify logo, $306 per day, green arrow, money stacks in background Element 3 (background): background is wooden office vibe. Does it align with the audience? Element 1 aligns amazing with the audience, the reason being is that he has built a brand with his face, he is recognizable to his audience. Him wearing blue is also a part of his branding, same with the smiling. Element 2 aligns well the audience, the reason being that the shopify logo is known throughout his audience, its known to be used for dropshipping. The $306 per day aligns with his audience because its a lower number, his audience is younger and so the lower number feels more achievable rather than saying 2k per week. The green arrow and money stacks i wouldn’t really say align with the audience but are good design to help make it feel more full and help the overall design of the thumbnail Element 3 aligns with the audience due to his branding, he is known to have that background and therefore aligns with his audience, simple yet effective. Does it work? Why? The thumbnail works very well, it aligns with the audience, its clean and easy to understand, it has a recognizable face, it has the branding he has built. The idea which is most important works very well with his audience. Its a very easy win. Title: What is it? “I Tried AI Dropshipping For 7 Days, Here’s How You Can Copy Me” Does it align with the audience? Yes, it aligns with his audience very well. The reason why is because of multiple reasons: AI Dropshipping This is great because its a hot new topic (at the time) for his audience, it also makes them curious for people who don’t know it yet, or curious as to how mark will do it. For 7 days This works because it gives the video a challenge feel, it also makes the viewer curious as to how he can do it in 7 days, how much money he makes, it also makes the viewer feel like if he could do it in 7 days then so could I. Here’s how you can copy me This is perfect for his audience, the reason being is that its his very niche, his niche is business education Does it work? Why? The title works very well because its clean, gets the point across, makes the viewer curious, and aligns with his niche and audience. It does everything a title needs to do and the results speak for themself. Intro: What happens: Mark tells us that people are making lots of money with AI dropshipping, then proceeds to give examples of other people showing how much money they made in a montage type edit. He then asks the question ‘is it too good to be true’ and then says he is going to put it to the test. Does it align with the packaging? It aligns perfectly with his packaging, he talks immediately about AI dropshipping, and it hypes it up before bringing it to the core idea of the video, the challenge. He makes the viewer curious to keep watching because they want to know if its real or not. Does it work? It works perfectly, it has a good hook, it talks about the idea of the video, and makes the viewer curious.

Created a thumbnail for 'Anthony & Taig' on YT. Title: 'Podcasting Is Hard Until You Build These 4 Systems' What do you guys think? I tried to make it seem like he was in a podcast for the thumbnail, adding a person definitely helps with thumbnails a lot. DMs are open for commission

Thumbnail Breakdown for @AlexHormozi Title Breakdown: ‘If I Wanted to Become a Millionaire in 2024’ This makes the viewer believe that its a proven method, or at least a solid plan. It also has the appearance that its speaking from experience (only looking at the title, not thumbnail as we know he is a millionaire). ‘This is What I’d Do’ This helps the viewer understand that it will be an educational video, nothing crazy about this but it just helps the viewer understand the videos idea more. ‘[FULL BLUEPRINT]’ This is a relatively popular Title format, it works because it gives the viewer a promise that they will be shown A-Z on what it is they are watching. It entices the viewer essentially. Thumbnail Breakdown: The overall tone of the thumbnail is serious but it also ‘pops’ due to the colour choice, the emotion/ tone is a mixture because of this, it appeals to many people. The Elements in the thumbnail heavily support the title, it has a literal blueprint to help not only show that its educational, but that its already fulfilling a promise from the title of having a ‘blueprint’ Of course having Alex Harmozi helps A LOT due to the audience being able to recognise him whether they know him from youtube, or his books, seminars, etc. He is a well known figure and is very trust worthy in his niche. The simplicity of the thumbnail helps as well, it feels real and trustworthy, aka authentic. Authenticity works really well in the finance niche, and any niche that includes helping people. The Thumbnail works well with the title as it fulfills promises already to the viewer and his audience likes these thumbnails, they like simplicity and authenticity.

Packaging study of Iman Gadzhi Title Breakdown: ‘7 principles for Teenagers’ This is a big filter being set straight away. This makes the audience feel like they fit the condition he is looking for. People in their 20’s and possibly 30’s would still click on this video because they still feel young enough to be allowed to click on this video. ‘To become millionaires’ This helps the audience understand the purpose and idea of the video. It gives a promise to the audience aswell. Thumbnail Breakdown: The overall tone of the thumbnail feels serious but not ‘that’ serious. It aligns with the idea of the video and the title. This is why the tone works. Iman Gadzhi being in the thumbnail works very well as he is a well known figure in his niche. The text aligns with the title of the video and almost fulfills a promise to the viewer already, humans also like seeing big round numbers The dark overall concept aligns with his audience, reason being they are in dark mode, younger people mostly have dark mode enabled. The macbook has some effect in branding, its often aligned with luxury as its the most well known and sought after brand, especially young people. It doesn’t do all the lifting but it definitely needs to be there for the effect he is going after with his audience.

Alex Harmozi Packaging Study Title Breakdown: ‘How to get SO rich’ The SO stands out to the viewer, the viewer gets curious about it aswell, how rich? The ‘How to’ is a common title starter, it feels familiar to viewers. ‘Question the meaning of making money’ This really works because it is closely similar to the saying “Question the meaning of life” It also makes the viewer curious as to what Alex could mean by ‘the meaning of making money’, what does it mean? Overall the title is very effective. Thumbnail Breakdown: The thumbnail has a serious tone which complements the title, it feels connected and like the promise will be full filled. The face is recognizable as a well known figure, ‘Alex Harmozi’ is very recognizable to anyone wanting to start a business or learn about business. The Thumbnail is very simple which complements the title in a way. Due to how simple it is it makes the viewer feel like its more authentic and more ‘real’. The Thumbnail works with the audience due to the reasons above, the audience are mature and want value, the thumbnail delivers exactly this. The thumbnail is simple, serious and gets the point across. This thumbnail also stands out to the usual thumbnail in this niche, usually there are a lot of colours, typically bright. The darker tone makes us feel like its different and therefore gives us the ‘different’ we are looking for.
