In the first 15 seconds of this video, Charlie Morgan uses a sneaky trick to get you to watch the entire video.
And when you understand it, youโll be able to grab and hold the attention of ANY audience.
Let me explainโฆ
YouTube is filled with competition. Everyone and their dog wants to be a YouTuber.
Therefor, it's likely that 10s or even 100s of people are talking about the same topics as you.
This is a problem.
For you to get leads from YouTube and scale your business, you need to stand out.
You need to make content that offers unique value and perspectives that no one else is talking about.
You need to seperate yourself from the sea of competition in your niche.
But how do you do that?
Well one of the easiest ways is follow this formula:
1. Call out audience problem
2. Dismiss common reasons problem exists
3. Present your NEW perspective
Charlie does this brilliantly in the first 30 seconds of this video. He saysโฆ
Call out problem:
โSomething really bad happens to your brain when you watch short-form contentโ
Dismiss common reasons:
โAnd no, Iโm not talking about your attention span or your ability to focusโ
New solution:
โWhat Iโm about to tell you is way deeper and way more sinisterโ
By saying short-form content ruins your brain, and then dismissing the common reasonsโฆ
He instantly positions his video as NEW and UNIQUE.
If you watch the top creators in your niche, they all use this little technique to narrow you in on their video.
