1
00:00:00,150 --> 00:00:03,990
So now I want to take a video to talk about how to actually prompt more engagement, right.

2
00:00:04,140 --> 00:00:07,080
How do you prompt more likes and how how do you want more comments?

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,300
How do you get more subscribers, so on and so forth.

4
00:00:09,310 --> 00:00:13,040
So let's move on first and foremost to getting more subscribers.

5
00:00:13,050 --> 00:00:18,960
Now, the best way, in my opinion and the easiest way is actually the simplest way to get more subscribers.

6
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:22,170
And that is just to simply ask for subs in your videos.

7
00:00:22,170 --> 00:00:22,430
Right.

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,130
You'll get more subs on average if you just subtly ask for them.

9
00:00:26,310 --> 00:00:31,710
The key here that I want to emphasize is subtlely, OK, so you want to make a point to say in your

10
00:00:31,710 --> 00:00:34,200
video, but make a point to say it subtly.

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,410
There are certain ways to go about doing that, doing that.

12
00:00:36,420 --> 00:00:41,250
One of the best ways that I found is actually either to just be genuine and honest and be like, if

13
00:00:41,250 --> 00:00:44,130
you like this content, you know, I really enjoy creating content like this.

14
00:00:44,130 --> 00:00:47,580
And I have a bunch of other great ideas on the back burner that I want to create.

15
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,250
If you like this kind of content, make sure to hit the subscribe button.

16
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:55,590
Or you can basically say something like, you know, we you know, I'm pumping out videos on online

17
00:00:55,590 --> 00:00:56,880
marketing every other day.

18
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,110
If you if you're interested, hit the subscribe button so you don't miss any tips or something like

19
00:01:01,110 --> 00:01:01,370
that.

20
00:01:01,380 --> 00:01:02,940
Obviously, I'm just making them up on the spot.

21
00:01:03,090 --> 00:01:07,410
You can do a better job of coming up with, like a sentence or two, script yourself around your topic

22
00:01:07,410 --> 00:01:07,830
and niche.

23
00:01:07,980 --> 00:01:11,850
But I would just be either be genuine or be funny and make it into a joke.

24
00:01:11,850 --> 00:01:12,030
Right.

25
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,260
So the other best way that I found is to give you the other example of, like, the lists.

26
00:01:16,270 --> 00:01:16,570
Right.

27
00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:21,870
So if you're going through, like a tip list or like maybe you're going through like, you know, Arty's

28
00:01:21,870 --> 00:01:25,830
the example of like a tip list, like eight tips and then like giving the like the seventh tip or the

29
00:01:25,830 --> 00:01:28,800
sixth tip or whatever would be to smash the like button.

30
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:29,070
Right.

31
00:01:29,070 --> 00:01:29,880
And then you're joking.

32
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,470
Then you move on to the actual seventh tip.

33
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:31,740
Right.

34
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,270
So that's a good example of one.

35
00:01:33,390 --> 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

36
00:01:37,470 --> 00:01:41,580
don't know, like the top the top 10 soccer teams in Europe.

37
00:01:41,580 --> 00:01:41,970
Right.

38
00:01:41,970 --> 00:01:43,740
And you're going like the top.

39
00:01:43,740 --> 00:01:47,190
The number one is this number two is that number three is Real Madrid.

40
00:01:47,190 --> 00:01:48,830
Number four is Mannu.

41
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,190
Number five is, you know, whatever.

42
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,320
And then you're going like number six.

43
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,710
And to find out number six, you're actually going to have to hit the subscribe button.

44
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,940
And then you wait a couple of seconds and then you're like, you know, hit describe on, you know,

45
00:02:00,090 --> 00:02:03,360
do you do you not want to find out number six and then you, like, move on to.

46
00:02:03,370 --> 00:02:04,360
OK, there you go.

47
00:02:04,380 --> 00:02:04,710
All right.

48
00:02:04,710 --> 00:02:07,200
So number six is and it's just like a little joke.

49
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,450
Now, obviously, you have to have self awareness here.

50
00:02:09,570 --> 00:02:12,000
You don't want to go out of your way to be something that you're not.

51
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,680
I'm not necessarily like that.

52
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,050
I've tried to put that in videos before myself.

53
00:02:16,140 --> 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

54
00:02:19,860 --> 00:02:20,040
it.

55
00:02:20,250 --> 00:02:22,560
And I'm not the best at communicating that more straightforward.

56
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,930
I'm less like kind of entertaining, to be honest.

57
00:02:24,930 --> 00:02:29,310
I try to be a little bit more entertaining, but, you know, it's just not in my personality a lot

58
00:02:29,310 --> 00:02:29,670
of times.

59
00:02:29,670 --> 00:02:33,750
So you have to have some self-awareness there and understand is that, you know, the route you want

60
00:02:33,750 --> 00:02:37,200
to go, do you feel comfortable doing something like that or is it kind of forced?

61
00:02:37,230 --> 00:02:37,650
Literally.

62
00:02:37,650 --> 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

63
00:02:42,270 --> 00:02:43,950
pro and I completely cut it out.

64
00:02:43,950 --> 00:02:46,740
And I've done that like three times now because it just doesn't come off.

65
00:02:46,740 --> 00:02:51,930
When I'm watching it kind of organically, it kind of feels forced, like I wrote that in there and

66
00:02:51,930 --> 00:02:52,710
I don't think it looks good.

67
00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:54,000
So you have to have self-awareness there.

68
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,970
But those are just two examples of ways that you can subtly do it.

69
00:02:57,150 --> 00:03:01,350
The best way, in my opinion, if you're not comfortable doing anything like that, is to just be genuine,

70
00:03:01,350 --> 00:03:02,400
just simply ask for it.

71
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,550
Be like if you guys hit the subscribe button, you know, I'd really appreciate it.

72
00:03:05,550 --> 00:03:07,260
You're going to get this is what you're going to get, right?

73
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,060
This is what I'm going to give you by doing so.

74
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,520
So the key here is obviously subtle.

75
00:03:11,610 --> 00:03:12,390
Don't beg.

76
00:03:12,390 --> 00:03:15,330
Please don't don't be the person that's like please, please, guys.

77
00:03:15,330 --> 00:03:17,490
I really want to get to one hundred subscribers.

78
00:03:17,730 --> 00:03:19,560
Please, guys, I'm really close to that thousand mark.

79
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,870
Just hit that subscribe on because nobody's going to do it.

80
00:03:21,870 --> 00:03:23,220
That's psychology one to one.

81
00:03:23,220 --> 00:03:25,200
If you beg and plead, nobody's going to want to help you.

82
00:03:25,410 --> 00:03:26,370
I'm just being honest.

83
00:03:26,370 --> 00:03:31,350
So you definitely don't want to beg and plead and you don't want to be the person commenting on other

84
00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:34,980
videos saying, you know, check out my channel or sub to me.

85
00:03:35,220 --> 00:03:39,900
Now, we did talk about and we definitely will talk about later on because I added a video on the actual

86
00:03:39,900 --> 00:03:41,720
commenting method that's going to help you grow.

87
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,320
So we did touch on that already.

88
00:03:43,770 --> 00:03:48,150
But there's a key there's a key difference when the commenting method and commenting on video saying,

89
00:03:48,150 --> 00:03:53,760
subscribe to my channel or commenting on video saying sub, sub, sub or sub to me, guys, I have great

90
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:54,360
content.

91
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:55,350
You don't want to do that.

92
00:03:55,350 --> 00:03:56,250
You wouldn't be subtle about it.

93
00:03:56,250 --> 00:03:56,430
Right?

94
00:03:56,430 --> 00:04:00,870
You want to comment something thoughtful and give value to the video in the comment section and let

95
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,

96
00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:06,780
I make videos too.

97
00:04:07,020 --> 00:04:08,070
OK, so don't do that.

98
00:04:08,070 --> 00:04:08,760
Don't beg.

99
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,980
Don't be the person commenting saying check out my channel.

100
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,510
Now, same thing with likes.

101
00:04:12,510 --> 00:04:14,150
You want to just ask for what's right.

102
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,580
You're going to get more likes on average if you just ask for them.

103
00:04:17,700 --> 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

104
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:22,110
I asked for likes.

105
00:04:22,230 --> 00:04:26,190
And I basically, you know, subtly say if you got you know, if you guys appreciate the content value

106
00:04:26,190 --> 00:04:27,690
in today's video, hit that like.

107
00:04:27,690 --> 00:04:28,620
But I'd really appreciate it.

108
00:04:28,620 --> 00:04:33,300
Something simple like that will actually remind people to, hey, hit the like button, because a lot

109
00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:36,240
of times I'm very conscious of commenting and I watch a lot of videos.

110
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,290
And I'm also a content creator.

111
00:04:37,290 --> 00:04:37,530
Right?

112
00:04:37,740 --> 00:04:39,360
You obviously are if you're watching this as well.

113
00:04:39,480 --> 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

114
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,360
just because I'm not constantly thinking, OK, what's a video like in common, watching video like

115
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:48,840
in common?

116
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,680
Sometimes I get in the viewer mentality where I'm just watching the video because I want to enjoy the

117
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,160
content and I'm not thinking about engaging for the sake of the creator.

118
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,760
So if you ask and just remind them from time to time, it's go to.

119
00:04:59,790 --> 00:05:03,600
Go a long way to actually help you out and get more likes, which obviously increases your engagement,

120
00:05:03,690 --> 00:05:07,620
which obviously will be a snowball effect with the algorithm, you'll get more views and potential subscribers

121
00:05:07,620 --> 00:05:08,510
and so on and so forth.

122
00:05:08,820 --> 00:05:11,980
So you want to be real and genuine a lot of times, in my opinion.

123
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,190
Now, you can definitely, by all means, you work in something funny here as well.

124
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,610
You can just like the list thing we like and you hit that like button, you know, throw it in like

125
00:05:20,610 --> 00:05:22,280
that, just kind of like the subscribe as well.

126
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:27,090
So I like to be real and genuine that that kind of fits my personality in the way that I create videos

127
00:05:27,090 --> 00:05:27,630
a little bit better.

128
00:05:27,810 --> 00:05:29,880
But you can also, you know, make it into a joke.

129
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:34,290
If you can communicate, you know, overall and you're real and genuine or you communicate it as a joke,

130
00:05:34,650 --> 00:05:38,670
as long as you're basically communicating that, you know, the engagement helps and you really appreciate

131
00:05:38,670 --> 00:05:40,590
it, people will go out of their way to help you.

132
00:05:40,590 --> 00:05:45,840
Don't you know, a lot of people have kind of gone in the marketing and e-commerce and like online entrepreneurship

133
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:49,080
kind of world where you're creating content right now, which is what we're talking about.

134
00:05:49,230 --> 00:05:53,250
A lot of people are trying to market to people and a lot of people are trying to game people.

135
00:05:53,250 --> 00:05:57,480
And like you don't send them through this funnel that's going to make them opt in and then, you know,

136
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,390
get them on the back end to 10x their revenue with that customer.

137
00:06:00,570 --> 00:06:01,260
You know what I mean?

138
00:06:01,260 --> 00:06:02,820
Like, we all know what I'm talking about.

139
00:06:02,830 --> 00:06:09,720
So if you are just real and honest and genuine and straightforward with with your audience, it's going

140
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,460
to be a breath of fresh air for them.

141
00:06:11,590 --> 00:06:14,970
They're going to they're not going to want to think that you they're not going to think that you have

142
00:06:14,970 --> 00:06:17,840
some ulterior motive or some hidden agenda.

143
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,990
Instead, you're going to be a breath of fresh air because you're literally telling them, hey, guys,

144
00:06:21,990 --> 00:06:23,640
if you hit the like button, I really appreciate it.

145
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:24,600
You know, you're not begging.

146
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,100
You're not you're not doing anything like that.

147
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:28,590
You're being subtle and you're just being honest and genuine.

148
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:30,810
And it will go a long way, I promise you that.

149
00:06:30,810 --> 00:06:34,680
So say something like, you know, hey, if you guys got value from this video, hit that like button

150
00:06:34,860 --> 00:06:37,770
or, you know, if you enjoy videos like this, make sure to hit that like button.

151
00:06:37,770 --> 00:06:42,300
So, you know, I know to make more of them, something simple like that communicates real genuineness,

152
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,220
straightforwardness and that you appreciate it.

153
00:06:44,220 --> 00:06:44,940
Stuff like that.

154
00:06:44,940 --> 00:06:45,240
Right.

155
00:06:45,510 --> 00:06:51,330
So moving on to asking for comments now you can ask open ended questions for comments and you can also

156
00:06:51,330 --> 00:06:56,250
ask people their opinion on a topic because people love to give their opinion.

157
00:06:56,250 --> 00:07:00,090
Now, those are two of the simplest and easiest ways to prompt comments, and they work very, very

158
00:07:00,090 --> 00:07:00,390
well.

159
00:07:00,660 --> 00:07:04,860
One of the other ways that I that I've been seeing and kind of testing out myself to prompt comments

160
00:07:04,860 --> 00:07:08,880
lately and obviously I haven't created any good YouTube content like we talked about recently within

161
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,890
like the past month or month and a half, because I've been working all on actually scripting and making

162
00:07:13,890 --> 00:07:18,900
sure that I have all the tips and tit like little tidbits of information in this course for you guys,

163
00:07:19,140 --> 00:07:20,640
because I want to make this the best.

164
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,620
YouTube could take a back burner for me right now.

165
00:07:22,770 --> 00:07:23,880
I want this course to be great.

166
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

167
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:33,360
a lot with comments to a prompt more engagement was actually making mistakes like little tiny mistakes

168
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:33,930
on purpose.

169
00:07:33,930 --> 00:07:34,200
Right.

170
00:07:34,500 --> 00:07:36,470
And what I would do is to give you an example.

171
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,070
I remember I was creating a video and I was running through like it was like things that rich people

172
00:07:41,070 --> 00:07:42,840
do that, you know, poor people don't.

173
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,340
And how you can implement those the things that, you know, both poor people and rich people do, because

174
00:07:47,340 --> 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

175
00:07:51,570 --> 00:07:53,430
of those into growing as an entrepreneur.

176
00:07:53,430 --> 00:07:53,670
Right.

177
00:07:53,910 --> 00:07:56,670
To put simply, I was that's just what the video was about.

178
00:07:56,940 --> 00:08:00,870
And one of the things that I did is I'm showing a picture on the screen of a Lamborghini.

179
00:08:00,870 --> 00:08:01,170
Right.

180
00:08:01,380 --> 00:08:03,480
We all know what a Lamborghini looks like.

181
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:03,780
Right.

182
00:08:03,930 --> 00:08:07,530
And I just made the simple mistake of being like and if you look on the screen right now, you'll see

183
00:08:07,530 --> 00:08:08,610
this this Ferrari.

184
00:08:08,790 --> 00:08:13,080
And obviously it was a full on Lamborghini and ninety nine point nine percent of the people watching

185
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,450
the video are going to know that that's a Lamborghini.

186
00:08:15,450 --> 00:08:15,750
Right.

187
00:08:16,020 --> 00:08:18,330
But I said Ferrari and I said Ferrari on purpose.

188
00:08:18,330 --> 00:08:21,810
And the reason being is I wanted to see if that could prompt engagement in the comment section.

189
00:08:22,020 --> 00:08:25,500
I wanted to see just how many people were going to correct me in the comment section.

190
00:08:25,650 --> 00:08:26,430
And guess what?

191
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:31,020
There is I think there was like thirty or forty comments on that video overnight, which usually I get

192
00:08:31,020 --> 00:08:32,970
like ten to fifteen max overnight.

193
00:08:33,150 --> 00:08:35,130
And it's kind of like if the video was viral.

194
00:08:35,130 --> 00:08:39,660
But what I'm trying to say is that prompted a lot more engagement, probably like 300 percent engagement

195
00:08:39,810 --> 00:08:40,590
than I'm used to.

196
00:08:40,830 --> 00:08:41,160
Right.

197
00:08:41,250 --> 00:08:46,320
So what I'm saying is you can implement that or little, you know, get innovative little kind of mistakes

198
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:51,330
here and there or, you know, asking people to to open ended questions or kind of stirring up controversy

199
00:08:51,540 --> 00:08:52,800
in smart ways.

200
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,710
Obviously, you don't want to get a little crazy with this and you don't want to make if you're going

201
00:08:55,710 --> 00:08:58,290
to make mistakes, too, you don't want to be making mistakes like that.

202
00:08:58,290 --> 00:08:59,070
Every single video.

203
00:08:59,070 --> 00:08:59,220
Right.

204
00:08:59,220 --> 00:09:02,970
You don't want to be calling the Lamborghini a Ferrari, every video or Ferrari, a Lamborghini, ever

205
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.

206
00:09:08,340 --> 00:09:09,030
Something simple.

207
00:09:09,030 --> 00:09:09,390
Right.

208
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:10,980
You don't want to be doing that.

209
00:09:10,980 --> 00:09:14,730
Every video that people are just going to think you're stupid, but you can play around, you can get

210
00:09:14,730 --> 00:09:17,490
innovative and you can prompt engagement in fun ways.

211
00:09:17,490 --> 00:09:18,450
Just use your brain.

212
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,500
I know that you guys can come up with stuff because we're all very, very smart on ways.

213
00:09:22,620 --> 00:09:26,730
And that's just an example of one of the ways that you can get innovative and, you know, basically

214
00:09:26,730 --> 00:09:31,860
use the, you know, people's egos to comment more on your videos.

215
00:09:31,860 --> 00:09:32,070
Right.

216
00:09:32,070 --> 00:09:34,560
So these are just some simple ways that you can prompt engagement.

217
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:37,880
Obviously, the more comments you get, the better you channel in your videos are going to do, the

218
00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:39,480
more comment or the more likes you get.

219
00:09:39,490 --> 00:09:40,110
Same thing.

220
00:09:40,110 --> 00:09:43,230
And obviously the more subs is a snowball effect as well.

221
00:09:43,230 --> 00:09:45,150
So hopefully you implement these topics.

222
00:09:45,150 --> 00:09:49,380
They go a long way to help your engagement and then grow your channel.
