I mean you can do videos, but you can't get anybody to watch your videos So in this video what I've done is I put together the seven secrets that I figured out over the years one how to get people to watch Educational videos. I mean hey if you're doing pranks and you're doing comedy That's pretty easy to get people to watch that, but what about educational videos if you watch this video to the very end You'll know exactly what to do. Don't forget. Also. I do have a free course at the end I'm going to give you to 97 dollar course, and it's absolutely free So you want to stick around to the end to get that too? All right, so let's jump right in here at the end of this video You'll know exactly what to do and if you're making educational videos It doesn't matter if it's woodworking or it's cooking or it's basketball or basket weaving People will want to watch your videos if you do these seven things Okay The number one thing that I think a lot of people don't do is research what is already being searched And here's what I mean by that use something like Google keyword planner or something like that and you can find out Which keywords people are actually searching for so instead of you just making a video about something you want to make a Video about find out what the people out there are already searching for it so much easier To make a video and give it to people who are already searching for it than to make a video and try to get people to watch So that's the big key number one You've got to do your keyword research find out what they're searching for number two get to the point Okay, don't mess around like I did in this video. I didn't talk for ten minutes about what I was gonna do I briefly said what you're gonna learn in this video, and then I got right into it That's a key thing nowadays people want to see The information immediately they don't want to wait They don't want to see some big intros and you running around in your boats and cars and houses They want the information so if you get to the chase immediately people will stick around and watch your videos number three avoid Video Distractions now right here you can see my backyard there, and it's it's pretty clean and neat and quiet there But if I had a bunch of things going on in my backyard and construction going on if had kids running through My office or a dog jumping up on the desk or whatever it is That's going to be very distracting to the viewer to get them to continue to watch your videos You don't want them distracted so you you need to remove all distractions now I'm in my office in the back of our house here, and I have my door shut to my office I have some sound panels up here, and it's very quiet So you're not going to be distracted the only thing to watch is me talking right now And that's the way it should be on your video, too It should only be that subject matter that they want to get information on now I got a couple things on my desk here, but the one thing I didn't tell you about is that you need to Turn on all bell notifications turn on notifications so that you're notified each and every time I do a new video You won't be able to get this bell You will not be able to get this bell until you subscribe So you got to do that first get that subscribe button down there now Let's get back to this number four number four is pretty important number four is post on a schedule Okay, people want to know when your videos are going to go live or when you're going to upload or whatever you're going to do But they need a schedule imagine you were watching a TV show TV show You liked a lot and it came on at Monday at 8 o'clock in the evening And then the following week it came on at Friday at 10 in the morning and then the following week it came in On Saturday at 10 30 a.m. You would be like heck. I'm not going to watch this show anymore I never know when this show is going to be on if you keep your videos on a schedule I have all my videos scheduled my lives. I do it certain times my uploads I do it certain times and that way people know when that content is going to be out there So it's so important that you post on a schedule on a regular basis number five define who your audience is This is super super important a lot of people think well I want to make a video that everybody's going to watch and that way I'll get more views You won't because if you're making a video that everybody's going to watch if you're trying to speak to everybody You're basically speaking to nobody you need to call out the niche the type of people that's going to watch your video now My niche on this channel here is people who want to make money online. That's basically it people who want to make money online There's really no other audience. I'm going for I'm not going for cooking. I'm not going for exercise I'm not going for anything else I'm only talking to people who want to make money online and they come to this channel and watch my videos because they Know I've made money online have made millions of dollars over the past decade online and I've been around for a long time So all those things point to the fact that if they're trying to make money online This would probably be a good place to start or there are other channels out there They can learn from most certainly But what I do is I call out that niche if you want to make money online either an e-commerce or digital products This would be the channel you'd want to go to because I do it every day You know, I sell stuff every single day online digital products physical products and then all I do is share with you How I do those things so that you can get the same results. So I've really got a targeted audience I have people who come back to this channel so they can get more information about different stages. They're at But that's what you want to do guys Whatever your subject matter is you want to stick to that subject matter You got to know your audience and you got to speak to that audience number six Make sure you SEO your videos now most of us have heard of SEO on a website But did you know you have to SEO your videos to you do as a matter of fact? It's really really important SEO your videos Now I want you to think of it this way if somebody is coming to YouTube and they want to learn how to Build a website. Let's say it's build a website. They're probably going to put in the search bar how to build a website They may put in the search bar how to make a WordPress website They may put in the search bar a design my own website Those are all keywords that they're searching for if you don't have some of those keywords in your title And you want to focus in your title with some of those keywords But you also want to have some of those keywords listed below where it allows you to add your keywords It's super important. You also want to have those keywords in the description. So you've got your title You've got your description and you've got your actual keywords that go along with the video What happens when somebody goes to YouTube and they type in some of these keywords? Then YouTube goes out and tries to find videos that maybe hasn't the title has it in the description Has it in the body where they have all the keywords. That's what YouTube's trying to do now Imagine you do this video and it's a great video. It's an awesome video But you don't put a title on it. You don't put a description on it You don't you don't put any keywords on it. There's no way anybody can find your video So it's so very important that you SEO your video properly now on this channel here If you go to my search bar on the channel and you type in SEO, you'll find a lot of techniques for that I highly recommend you using TubeBuddy TubeBuddy can be used on every video.

That's that's the one thing I see so many people making videos and they don't SEO them I'm like you would do better to make fewer videos and have better SEO on it so people could find them And the last thing I want to talk about is have engaging thumbnails So very important Understand that when they search for videos if you have your video SEO'd properly and it comes up in the search results But you don't have a good thumbnail. You don't have a good picture there You don't have something that's going to make them want to click on it. They're not going to click I see a lot of thumbnails where they have a whole bunch of words on them and understand that probably 90% of the people now are watching YouTube videos on their Mobile phone their smartphone and when those thumbnails come up on their smartphone if they're real tiny They're not even gonna be able to read those words. You're putting there anyhow, so don't do it Okay, don't do it. Don't put a lot of words on your thumbnails. They should be bright and colorful. They should pop They should stand out If you're gonna put a person on there probably just the upper part of that person is what you want to put on there You don't want to put their whole body But you want you want to have them if you have a person's face on there making eye contact with the person It's been proven that if somebody's making eye contact with somebody on one of those thumbnails They're more likely to click on it. Now if you're like me, I'm not real Graphically talented. That's not my thing. That's not what I do So I do have somebody on staff who is very good at that and they can make some good thumbnails That's what you're gonna need to do You're gonna need to hire somebody to make some thumbnails for you in the beginning I know you probably gonna say I can't afford to do that JR can't afford Thumbnails are not that expensive you can get one for five or ten dollars. It doesn't cost you much money But it is really crucial to you getting clicks on your videos for you to have thumbnails if you don't have thumbnails And you don't have the last one I said SEO Nobody's gonna watch your videos doesn't matter how good the video is doesn't matter how well you've researched It doesn't matter how hard you try how good your cameras are your lighting all these things Nobody's gonna know what's there. So you have now got Seven things you need to do to get people to watch your educational videos I'll tell you Educational videos are a lot harder to get people to watch They're a lot harder because they're educational. Okay, most people don't want to learn something They want to just have the knowledge I mean if I could wave a wand over you and you would know how to get people to watch your videos You would much rather do that than then I have to watch this video, right? So I've got to make it entertaining I've got to give you good information. I've got to use these keywords I've got to have good titles got to have good descriptions. I've got to have good thumbnails a Lot of efforts got to go into these videos guys. Don't try to wing it I know a lot of people say well, you can just shoot a video on your smartphone. You don't have to hardly do anything That's true. You can use your smartphone But there's a whole lot more steps to getting people to watch that video than just shooting a video It's a whole lot more than having good audio and lighting.
