- I'm gonna show you how to go
from zero subscribers to 1,000 with just one video,
just like these creators did.
You've heard the advice of posting hundreds of videos,
staying consistent,
and that your first video is going to suck.
Take that advice and throw it
completely out the window- (cat yowling)
and pay attention to what I'm about to show you.
One channel struck gold
without ever having to show their face.
Another one has only 14 videos
and has amassed over 100,000,000 views.
And the last channel started posting videos five years ago
until they found something 10 months ago,
and they haven't looked back since.
Lucas and Curtis Nicotra, known as the channel Sticks,
they started posting five years ago
and didn't see many views with their films,
until they posted this video and everything changed.
They did something no one had done before.
They found a niche and a way to stand out.
They made films about Aarrack, Mark Rober, and Ryan Trahan.
This is something no one was doing.
See, I know you can go from zero to 1,000 subscribers
with just one video,
except there's a massive problem that you're facing.
You're blending in with everyone else.
The way Lucas and Curtis were able to stand out
was due to their ability to think outside of the box.
We call this big YouTuber energy.
They have it.
The question is, do you?
Big YouTuber energy takes you
from zero to 1,0000 subscribers,
and takes you from 1,000 to 100,000.
What are the areas in your niche that no one is doing?
Look at what everyone else is doing
and do the complete opposite.
Or better yet, can you do something better
that no one has seen before?
Because that is the content
that people will remember you by, not forget you.
Drewdoes is a channel all about travel,
except he does things a little bit differently.
He's not focused on making videos
that everyone else is already making,
like staying at a well-known hotel
or traveling to places everyone has been before.
Drew is opening the door to places
that people have never seen before.
His first video was posted over a year ago
and it hit 2.6 million views,
and it was of him staying at the weirdest hotels.
His goal is to get you interested and curious right away,
as well as utilizing this strategy
within the hooks of his videos.
In the hook of his video, you are immediately met
with what you were shown in the thumbnail,
leaving no room to question what the video is about.
Drew is giving you exactly what you clicked on.
I hate to break it to you, but most small YouTubers
have intros and thumbnails that make no sense whatsoever.
Their title doesn't create any interest or curiosity,
and they make a thumbnail that is clickbait
without actually delivering in the video right away
and getting into the content.
Make your titles and thumbnails more interest-driven
and more curiosity-driven,
and the hook of your video needs to deliver right away
so the audience can expect what is to come.
This fix alone will easily explode your channel,
and will get you from zero to 1,000 subscribers
in your next video.
What about going viral on your first video
without ever having to show your face?
That's what The Market Whisperer did.
Four months ago, they posted their first video
and smashed 2,000,000 views,
and skyrocketed to 30,000 plus subscribers.
In the first week, they gained nearly 2,000 subscribers.
The week after, they gained 20,000.
What's the secret?
Two things can explain their success.
They found a niche in trading
and are focusing on specific stories within their niche.
And the second part is storytelling, which they crush.
Storytelling is one of the most underrated elements
when making a video.
It's a thing that keeps people hooked and wanting more.
When storytelling within a video,
keep these three things in mind.
Identify your goal and audience.
Who is this video for,
and the person that's watching this video,
what is the goal
that you are trying to accomplish with them?
Number two, create a narrative.
How will you take the viewer
from the beginning of this video to the end,
and clearly lay that out?
Decide on a format.
You could do faceless videos,
you could do talking head videos, long-form, short-form,
change up your camera angles, add animations, effects.
The format you choose should enhance your story,
not take away from it.
Storytelling is a superpower,
and it is a guaranteed way to take you
from zero subscribers to 1,000
in your first video or your next video.
Thank you so much for watching.
