Hello everyone James Wedmore here doing a very special video for you, I'm really really
excited I'm over here on youtube channel called real man real style and I have
with me on the line the creator and founder of this channel real men real style Antonio
Antonio Centeno, so Antonio are you there? (Antonio) I'm here James thanks for having
me appreciate (James) I'd really appreciate you being here as well, now check this out
guys Antonio has over 4.3 million views on his channel and 56 thousand youtube subscribers
I didn't know how many videos you have but it looks like a lot you've
been posting for a while these are incredible videos here, your most viewed video has a
list 400 thousand views and obviously you're doing a lot with this so what i would love
really quick from you is tell me a little bit about how you got started with youtube
and this business in like a thirty second to sixty seconds intro and story of of yourself.
(Antonio) Sure, why i'm in business owner and a custom closure and I saw a friend of
mine actually doing very well on youtube I lists some interviews over an.. which is actually
I have found you James and listen the review over rise in the top and you guys gave some
great tips you didn't seem, I mean i it was scary at first one of my
friends he had he had over 4 million views but i knew that if a person quality content
that if i stood out from the back that I could get this done in the hardest thing that was
really just to get it done so I've followed a number of your tips which I'd love to share
of you and I think that anybody can follow these and start to get, start to get the views.
(James) I definitely wants to hear those stips and strategies, I think it's far more effective,
when they come from a a student or someone who's actually doing in a completely, I dont
wanna use the word random but it's a very unique niche, it's a very unique. Before you
share that share with me something that will get us excited about
some other results like how does this translate into marketing business end and results for
you how do you take you know. (Antonio) of my sales estimate its tripled the sales of
my company it is help me take my blog and turning into a six figure business on the
path hopefully within a year and a half into a seven figure business I'd get more kind
a higher an assistant, simply to answer the thank you emails that I get collect also lot
of people contacting me, I mean we get, yah we get it, it is beautiful and I love it.
(James) It's amazing so, first and formost I just can congratulate I'm so happy for you,
we'll we actually guys want to see you know we met we met in person at a event locally
and antonio bumped into me and I'm just so happy it to connect in the type of results
so, congratz exciting so take us through some stuff share either some biggest..or
even just a little tweaks that you've done and to really see some great results on here.
(Antonio) sure, well i'm actually share some things which you've given in you got to talk
about mixture I think you may be talked about when david simon show and I know that you
give away in your own video traffic academy and your membership site but one of them is
to create videos in batches videos should not stand alone so we went to a period and
I film almost of these videos im my hundred and ten victorian house in a dirt basement
now you can tell that because we've made the lights all nice in the background we are set
time filmed at five o'clock in the morning when it was quiet my kids were awake and we
filmed in batches, I would get up at five because I really
because I think you talked about how it's take a lot of time to prepare for when you
get filming boom they go by quick and so I would share sometimes 14 videos at a time
and all the sudden i could release of video a day for two weeks and I'd put put up a challenge
of my time to do a hundred videos in a hundred days that stretched out the two hundred videos
in two hundred days but when I did that when I jump-started it wasn't me getting up every
morning and doing a video it was not if you divide it by let's say ten I'd only shot video
one twenty days that's very doable over more than half of the year and I think almost and
it you know people if you're dedicated you want your business group you can do that.
(James) yah let me, let me address... like a piece of the time thing at the time patients
so big for most people they they say that I don't have time and you know what we're
both busy people you and I don't have the time to do this, whats your, you know you
still did it, what is your response to someone who would sit down and make, (Antonio) you
set time it is a the business in.. and like I said I need to get up whose gone up before
because i would be filming at five because I have three young children and anytime I
do something I'm asking myself is this project worth the time I could be spending with my
family and I've found myself answering tons of the same questions again and again, every
single day now. 10 to 15 thousand people watch my videos and I answer their questions exactly
I mean I'd just love it, It's scales things that you're doing right now which is inefficient
so identify what is wasting your time and kill it and time to make a time till once
a week once a month, set 2 hours 3 hours aside in the morning and hour to in the evening
before the.. and film those videos. (James) that's great, that's great so what else you
got for us cuz i see so many things you're doing but i want you to share some of the
things that have but little things that have made like the biggest difference an impact
for you. (Antonio) well, another thing, is that you said ask people to subscribe and
I kept doing it you know I felt that many people are gonna think guy he's repetitive
he has ask again but the way I look at it is people now finally all over the web and
no matter what video they watch most likely I'm gonna ask them at the beginning to subscribe
and when i don't ask them to do this i get maybe thirty to twenty percent of the subscribe
site yet when i know simply.. people to subscribe so by doing that if you look at the proportion
of our subscribers to our viewers it it's it's pretty good as you can a pointed out
because I haven't happened in the viral videos what you mentioned biggest video how to
roll your.. It's a very simple video I show people how to roll they're sleeves but most
of my video said about the 10 thousand 5 thousand you know rage if they don't get really
huge but all of those you're sitting out there in all of those are slowly growing, so I ask
people to subscribe. (James) It's simple now tell me a little bit more about it to you
you do this if you ask for the subscribe at the end of the video. (Antonio) At the beginning
because I assume that they're not gonna stick around to the end my video is also work this
is one thing I can dig no but I know a lot of people saying keep the video short i go
a little bit longer that was one of the ways i separate myself, I knew this content really
well i've written hundreds of articles was already established right over the manliness
and some other place of my own blog where i was writing content but im that getting
video out there with seperate me form the crowd .... there was doing and it's something
that, yeah my first videos you know they they weren't that great in factor still out there
people who go look at them I'd talk very slow but you you get better with time as you do
it won't work you get better another thing with asking them subscribe asked them to like
the video at the same time, again when you ask them to like it seems in list basically
my basic text is map I see three times more likes when I ask them to do it and then have
a call to action so I always recommend people go grab my free forty seven pages ebook because
one thing you can see, but because of this youtube channel, yah I have over fifty thousand
youtube subscribers, but I've got over fifty thousand email subscribers because of this
is well. (James) Woow and that's where really does translate to a real and... and save yes
thousand email addresses that you can send a email right now and make an offer promoting
a new product or service this is incredible. So I could go and so many directions here
I really want. (Antonio) well another thing that you talked about these have good sound,
sound is more important actually than think the actual video itself and so we used my
get a way of doing this, you can get them to yet he actually can see my review of the
blue yeah that was one of the first test videos they put out there so if you go to amazon
you'll see the blue.. for under a hundred box I have this microphone hanging upside
down in filming recording on a computer and then and my video editor
who's my wife with then goin and she would ment the two together because a lot of earlier
mic I just wasn't getting as good of sound as I wanted now we've could spend a couple
hundred bucks we spent money on the camera and getting a good sound unit really people
really noticed. (James) I love that, It's so smart because It's start because you work
with a simple principle and have great audio and you just figure out a way to get it done
and we've done you know little...rick situations and stuff like that but it works in a totally
works so, you great audio right now and that's a really appreciate that so are you how often
you posting right now that's what I wanna to know are you still post. (Antonio) I will
slow down now not daily anymore I've pulled back now in focused on product creation in
a lot of videos we make a private so I was just telling you earlier in our conversation
as we were talking are launched a new membership site color black man style now to go to my
channel, they can see I'd just announced this to my you know it's all my subscribers on
youtube and I send out the email to the email list that I built-up because of youtube
so all of this plays in together and I'm already looking at money coming right into my account
as we're talking because of these videos. (James) Okay this is my last question for
Antonio, you have hundred of videos on here as fas as I can see, you know he said he did
the two hundred video, talent is so amazing. How do you get inspired for your content how
are you coming up with this is a very specific like you know built reviews to how to where
a man's suit, how to wear this sleeves and leather shoes and and I mean how do you have
to come up with this content? (Antonio) Most of my content is simply in answering the questions
that people asked me and if you ask people tips or my email listed that you check out
my five... ask people what is their burning style
question list that what i asked them...all the time and I'd take those database and I
simply create the content and I will oftentimes create content that i know 99% of people don't
really need, it's i mean i got one video that is towards a finance
student in move by whose has dark skin dark here and he's trying to figure out what to
wear, now i realize most of us are not finance students in and... but you know what, the
million men who will fit that demographic over the next ten years that is evergreen
content that will always be number one and will answer thier question, so beautifully
But you can compete with me on that and my goal is to put out so much content that hits
that long tail so perfectly that I will simply over whelmed the ... in the... and all those
other guys had millions of dollars in the budget I'm simply gone you know .. in a long
tail. (James) and you are real person that people can relate with get to know do you
do that to share like your about your family and your your personal life and it is that
make its way into your videos. (Antonio) It didn't get first i was scared to open
up and i didn't i wanna do a fear professional but i found that as i get more personal
all the sudden, yah I started opening up and people responded beautifully to it when they
see a real person i think it not only in translates into more views more people like to you more
people commenting and more sales. (James) Well Antonio, you have no idea thank you so
much because this is not only inspiring me to continue teaching this and sharing this
