Would you like to learn an advanced YouTube strategy? In this video, I'm going to share
with you my multiple location strategy. You're going to love this. You're going to think it's
crazy at first but then you're going to see how you can do this so efficiently, your filming
day will be funner and your videos will come out a lot better. You got to check this out.
I'm really excited to share this strategy with you. And I think the best way for you to really
understand what I'm doing here is to show you the finished product first. So, I'm going to
show you a video shot with this multi-location strategy. So, you're going to wonder like,
"How in the world does Nate do that? It seems like a ton of work." And so,
then we'll break it down. I'll actually show you how I do it. So, here's the example.
4 score and 7 years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation. Conceived
in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now, we are
engaged in a great civil war. Testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated
can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of
that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation
might live. It's all together fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense,
we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living
and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract.
The world will little note nor long remember what we say here. But it can never forget what they did
here. It is for us, the living rather that we be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they
who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the
great task remaining before us. That from these honored dead, we take increased devotion to that
cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion. That we here highly resolve that these
dead shall not have died in vain. That this nation under God, shall have a new birth of freedom.
And that government of the people by the people for the people shall not perish from the earth.
Okay. So, what did you just see. Okay, a lot happened. We obviously filmed
in a lot of locations. Doesn't that seem like a lot of work? And did you notice that I changed
my outfit every time? A little secret: I didn't change my outfit all the time but it seems like
a lot of work, right? Why go through all this trouble? I mean thinking about one episode at
a time and filming it like this. Yeah, filming one episode would really take all day. It would
take forever. And you know me, I'm the master of efficiency and that would not be very efficient.
Oftentimes on YouTube episodes we'll use this exact same strategy. We might not be changing
every line or every half line. It might be every minute or every couple of minutes. But changing
locations and changing outfits in an episode can really keep engagement high. It also helps when
we deliver our content in bite size chunks. And so when I'm in this location, I speak about this
part of the topic where I deliver that point. When I'm ready to move on to the next point,
now, I'm in this location, different outfit. I'm able to deliver it in bite-sized chunks.
There's so many advantages to filming in this way and I'm excited to show you how you can do this so
easily and so efficiently. But before I tell you my secret, go ahead and comment below do you think
I'm crazy or do you think this is genius? I'm not only do I have to go to different locations but I
have to move my C-stand that's got my boom arm microphone. I've got my notes on my music stand
right here. So, I've got my camera and I've got my big softbox light here on the C-stand
and I've got to plug it in and I change my outfits. So, there's a lot of effort here.
To make this work, you've got to film in batches or film in bulk. Most days we film 20 episodes
in a single day. So, for this specific shoot, I'll admit. I'm filming 17 episodes. Okay, normally,
I film 20 or 21. My record is 36 episodes in a single day. If you're preparing content for videos
10 to 12 minutes in length then you can start filming at 9 take a nice lunch break at noon or
1 and then be done by 5 p.m. So, it's a 9 to 5 filming day. It's a full day but doing 20 episodes
in a day launching 5 episodes a week you only have to film once every 4 weeks. Once you've chosen
your 20 titles, the biggest job is to actually outline it. Okay, that's harder than filming
day. Filming day takes longer but it's actually more taxing on the mind to outline and prepare
what you're going to be talking about. Now, I have a standard kind of template that I follow. You can
see on my screen here this is got all my content in there. But if I go all the way to the bottom,
there's some videos that I want to film in the future. Like How To Get Hired As a Motivational
Speaker. We've got the intro, content hooks, the content, this really gets expanded. Engagement,
I usually stick somewhere within the content not at the end. Then you have your call to action
and then I always like to get a separate thumbnail clip to help out my thumbnail team.
Okay. So, now I'll scroll back up and show you one of the videos that I have
outlined. Let's come to this one. Okay. So, What Do You Need To Start a YouTube Channel is one of
the videos I'm filming today. Now, before we look at these nifty color things on the side,
looking at the content, first, I start talking about the phone and then I talk about light
source I talk about you need a YouTube account, talk about content and the different types of
content there are. This is where I put in some engagement. And then I talk about what is how-to
content and the value of that. I talk about the channel name and audience. So, I list it off.
Notice that there's only 1 or 2 or 3 or so words on each bullet point just to remind me, "Okay,
this is what I'm going to talk about here. This is what I'm going to talk about next." Typically, 30
seconds or 2 minutes, you know, somewhere in that range is what each point is going to be. And I'll
just list all the different talking points that I have for that video. Because you're an expert
and this is your area of expertise, you know this stuff inside and out. You don't like the back of
your hand, right? If you really know the back of your hand. You have the question.. In this case,
"What Do You Need to Start a Youtube Channel?" was my question. So, I'm like, "Okay. Well,
you're going to need this, you're going to need this." So, I just listed them all off and I'll
take a moment talking about each one. That's the episode. Once you've got your content outlined...
Now, go through all 20. Okay? Pick 20 titles and then go through each one and outline all
the talking points for each of those videos. Then you've got to decide how many locations you're
filming in. Yesterday when we filmed with my client Irvine, we filmed in 5 different locations.
Today, let's go up and count. So, I put them across the top here. Kitchen, kitchen 2, outdoors,
back door, windows, fireplace. Fireplace is what we're doing right now. Cement, front door, bed,
swing and flag. I then copy and paste by color code and name in front of each bullet point where
each one is going to film. So, one of the first few locations I filmed was the bedroom. And I
went through and I just did all of those at once. Went down to the next video, filmed that one. And
then all my bedroom scene was done. Okay, here's where it makes a lot of sense. Because I've got a
big long list of a whole bunch of videos that I'm filming, but only parts of them in each location,
when I set up a shop... So, right now, I've got the kitchen behind me. All 17 of
the videos that I'm filming today right now I'm just going through and I'm only filming
the kitchen shots. So, I'm not filming complete episodes and then moving on to the next episode.
But I'm looking at an episode saying, "Okay. Which ones do I have a kitchen shot?" Okay.
2 points. I'll film those 2 points. Then I move to the next video. No kitchen shots on this one.
Then I go to the next one. Oh! We've got two kitchen shots for this one.
So, instead of filming one video in sequence which would be crazy to go to this location,
get all the lighting set up that wardrobe change. And on the time it takes just to take that one
shot and then moving to the next shot and getting that all setup and then moving to the next shot
getting that one all setup. Because I'm filming in bulk and I'm filming so many different episodes
that once I get this shot set up I get to take advantage of it and film scenes for lots and lots
of different videos. That's called efficiency. Now, just yesterday, I had my client Irvine here
and we actually used this strategy. By the end of the day, he said, "You know, Nate. These are
going to turn out great. I really am glad that we filmed this way. This is awesome. The videos are
going to have so much character to them in that there's so many different scenes." In his case,
we chose 5 locations. So, we changed the set 5 different times. He changed his outfit and he
stayed energized throughout the whole day. When I filmed this way, I love how the content turns out.
It takes a lot more preparation ahead of time. In fact, this strategy becomes more work and it
almost can't work if you don't do your preparation ahead of time. But when you're thoroughly prepared
and you just come with your color-coded outline, filming becomes a breeze, right? You're just like,
"Okay. We got the kitchen shot set up. And we'll just go through the whole list." We'll film
every shot in the kitchen. Okay. So, obviously, today is filming day for me and I'm filming 17
different episodes and I want to show you my filming checklist. You'll see if I started out in
a place that I called cement, down in the basement there's a big unfinished theater room, cement and
I started there and I got those shots out of the way. Then I went outside. So, all the ones that
are green here that say outdoors, notice I changed it from a box to an X. So, those are all done.
I had some bedroom shots in this one. That's a pretty cool bedroom here. And now, I'm filming
in the kitchen. I have the kitchen behind me. And now, I'm finishing up this part right here. So,
the first thing that I've got to convince you of is to film in bulk. To film 20 episodes in a
single day. The next thing I've got to convince you of is to prepare everything in advance. So,
you don't have to repair a single thing the day of filming. Okay? So, if you can do that
then I do recommend filming a multiple location shoot like this because it makes the day funner,
it makes the content way more engaging, it keeps people's engagement. It kind of sets a reset every
time there's a scene change. If what I shared in this video wasn't enough, I have a free gift for
