we tripled @adamlyttleapps's youtube subscribers from 6K to 22K in 6 months (here’s how we did it) Adam came to us in january. he has insane authentic charisma on screen! our literal dream person to work with. but he needed more time to focus on what he loved.. building products and making videos about them. our solution? 1. consistent videos. 2. strong intros/outros. if you: - aren’t spending enough time building - want to grow your audience on YouTube save this youtube playbook to go from “how?” to “i know what to do.” 👇 1️⃣ publish twice a week, every week it took Adam 1 week to edit 1 video and upload. this slowed publishing (and growing an audience). we used this workflow to fix it: 1. we agreed to produce 2 long-form vlogs weekly 2. Adam sent us the script, recording, and b-roll 3. we did our magic set aside 1 day for changes 4. Adam publishes a new vlog every Wed and Fri consistency = growth. 2️⃣ use strong intros to keep people hooked your intro is your hook. but most people leave your video in 5 seconds! why? - the intro doesn’t give what’s promised in the title - the video starts slow or is confusing the worst intros.. - feel different from the title thumbnail - takes too long to get to the point the best intros? - match the title thumbnail - give a reason to stay - make someone think ‘yes, this is what I came for!’ how to create a killer intro for your next video: 1. keep it between 20-30 secs 2. hook fast: edits, captions, voiceover 3. rewrite your intro if it feels weak but don’t forget.. 3️⃣ make people remember your outro your outro is a handoff. it’s the last thing people remember. ‘thanks for watching’ won’t make them come back. a good outro: - wraps up the idea gives the next step - gives a reason to stay on your channel or share it - leaves the viewer with a clear takeaway use these for your next outro: ‘be sure to subscribe and check my progress on this next week…’ ‘Share your thoughts below. i read every comment for the next video topic’ why does all this matter? 🤔 if your intro outro are weak, people just leave. but a great intro outro? makes people WANT to return to your channel. p.s. check below to see a video we created that got Adam 100k views for the first time 👇

having a team is beautiful instead of recording a demo for the new product myself i just asked our developer to do it 🥰

some snippets from a recent promo video we made

our team just got a gift from our client to celebrate one year of working together! i’m not crying i’m not crying i’m not cryingggg 😭

building alone is overrated. it's much better when you’re surrounded by people who understand what you’re trying to do loved working on this video 💛

your product feature could be a video love working on these feature videos with @ToolhouseAI team! 💙

i always did everything myself before but now i have savings that i want to invest into sales and marketing for my new product where should i start? ugc? sales agencies? would love to hear what helped you start getting traction

I've built a GitHub for Skills, for non-technical teams It's called FirePrompts, and here's how it works:

spent all morning wondering why everyone is so obsessed with tanstack and then realized i’d been thinking about gstack the whole time

everyone shares their wins, so here are my losses from last week: • i still haven’t launched my new product even though everything is ready • i worked literally 24/7 and felt physically awful because of it (every new message was making me feel sick) • i yelled at my friend for no reason just because i was exhausted and my nerves were fucked • i almost ruined a client relationship because i haven't noticed taxes got automatically added to his payment

can’t stop rewatching this and feeling grateful for such a talented team

i launched clipwing with no savings, zero marketing skills, and no experience managing a team now i have all those things a budget, but i’m so scared to launch a second project so i just sit here like an idiot waiting for the “right moment” it’s killing me

this is how spotify should’ve announced their new logo

nothing breaks my heart more than people posting 3 clips, getting no instant virality, and deciding clips "don’t work"

how to lose money and almost ruin a client relationship: have a client who’s been paying the same fixed monthly amount for years then one day you get a dm from him: "we paid more this month – can we pay less next month?" you check what happened turns out tax was added then you realize it’s been happening for 4 months client is angry af so now you have to cover the difference to keep the relationship but that tax was never your revenue done: money lost, relationship saved

good storytelling good editing = comments like this🥹

the team at @ona_hq makes great videos, but most people don’t even see them their thumbnails don’t make it clear what the video is about, so the videos just get lost in the feed that's how i'd fix that
