“Be clear not clever.” How clever - and clear!
1.1k views!?! That’s it!? Damn. I feel sorry for content creators who missed this one. Great work.
Still thinking this..
The channel is a sleeping giant haha, thanks for nice words Tijuana!
@@JamieWhiffen Great insight. Where can we see examples of some outstanding retention graphs?
Amazing, thank you for this interview. I took so many takeaways. For me, it's hard to write a script for a video, it's even harder without a script.
Just watched this video and I gotta say it was super informative, they didn’t repeat the same answers as everyone else.
I also like the 75/25 method when it comes to scripting and talking points. I like use the script to build the general context and ideal and sometimes just go off on something to elevate it a bit
I watched all the interviews with George that I could find and I liked this one the best. Your questions target exactly the points that people want to know and can apply to their own videos. I also liked how you graphically illustrated important aspects. Great video!
i like the one with jay clouse the best but they are all great
Thanks! I spend a lot of time thinking about what exactly beginner's struggle with, happy to hear you found this useful.
George has some wonderful advice here. I was thinking about incorporating "mini hooks" throughout my content but he really explained it well here, including the concept of switching the context and the payoff.
I also really enjoyed your question Jamie of how you can use scripts/teleprompters without loosing your voice.
Thank you for taking the time to create this content!
How to know what your audience wants: fourms and community spaces where people ask questions.

So much value here!! Thank you. 🙏🏾
00:13 🎣 A strong CZcams video hook requires clarity, avoiding jargon, and prioritizing clarity over cleverness.
01:52 🎭 For entertainment videos: characters, concept, and stakes are crucial. For educational videos: viewer, concept, and stakes take precedence.
03:30 🎁 The best scripts create building blocks towards the ultimate payoff, saving the big reveal for later, but offering smaller payoffs along the way.
05:23 📝 Common script mistake: lack of clarity in defining the big question or payoff, leading to unfocused and potentially rambling content.
06:44 🎨 When scripting, start with a free-flowing brainstorm, take breaks, then structure the script, tighten it up, and finally focus on retention by ordering sentences effectively.
08:50 🛑 Common retention killer: providing the payoff before establishing context, leading viewers to skip ahead and potentially lose interest.
10:52 🚀 Aha moments in scripts are crucial; highlighting them visually helps identify the pacing and engagement levels, ensuring a well-balanced video.
13:54 👥 Understanding your audience involves reviewing community sections, asking for feedback, and, like Jason Farmer, systematically analyzing comments to identify audience desires.
16:27 📉 Common retention graph pitfalls include giving away the ultimate payoff too early or spending too much time dissecting a point after revealing it. Context-dependent, but patterns can be observed.
16:41 📉 Swapping payoff and context timing is crucial; avoid early payoff followed by context to prevent viewer disengagement.
17:10 🕒 Long intros can lead to a drop in viewer interest; get into the main content quickly to maintain engagement.
18:19 📉 A gradual, consistent decline in the video may indicate a lack of focus or payoff; ensure clarity on the video's topic.
19:40 📜 CZcamsrs should prioritize scripting, as it enhances intentionality, structure, and overall video quality.
22:12 🗣 Reading the script aloud helps CZcamsrs capture their authentic tone and adjust the script for natural delivery.
24:41 🎙 Balancing teleprompter use and spontaneous moments creates authenticity and engages viewers effectively.
29:22 📈 A strong call to action is vital; avoid signaling the end of the video, use links, create curiosity gaps, and make promises to encourage viewers to watch more content.
31:58 🔄 Focus on key elements for script improvement: clarify the ultimate payoff in the hook, highlight mini payoffs, and use a compelling call to action.
thanks! wow
