How to Crush it on YouTube! [Video]

In this video, Sean Cannell shares high-level tactics and strategies to grow your YouTube channel and authority as quickly as possible. One of the key strategies is to “be the content” instead of creating content. He shares the story of Bradley, who hired a videographer to film him coaching his team, giving advice, and leading meetings. Bradley turned over the content to his team to distribute on social media, and his Instagram and YouTube channels became very influential. Sean also recommends starting a video podcast, which allows you to distribute content across multiple platforms. He advises hiring the right people and thinking of them as the CEO of your media company. Ultimately, the greatest way to demonstrate your expertise is to show people what you do, whether it’s coaching a team, giving sales advice, or whatever your expertise is. So, instead of stepping outside of your environment to create content, just do what you do and be brave enough to bring the world into that little place.Want a deeper dive?

Start Crushing YouTube with Sean Cannell [Video]

From Confusion to Success: How to Start Your YouTube Journey as a Creative EntrepreneurThe video is aimed at creative entrepreneurs who may be hesitant to start making videos on YouTube due to fear, confusion, or a lack of technical knowledge. The speaker emphasizes that starting on YouTube can be challenging as it requires a combination of various skill sets, such as writing good copy for titles, creating thumbnails, shooting and editing videos, and delivering value to the audience. However, the speaker also points out that this presents an opportunity for those who are willing to overcome their barriers to entry.The speaker suggests that the first step in starting on YouTube is to use the smartphone that you already have and flip it to landscape mode for better video quality. Audio is also crucial, and the speaker recommends investing in a simple microphone, which can be bought for as little as $25. Lighting is important too, and a basic softbox can be purchased for around $50. Stabilization is also crucial to avoid shaky footage, and a tripod can be used to keep the camera steady.The speaker advises that answering specific questions is an effective way to start creating content for YouTube. As a professional, you likely receive a set of top 10-20 questions frequently, which can be turned into individual videos. The speaker calls this the ASQ (Answer Specific Questions) method. He encourages creators to think of their videos as a conversation with a friend over coffee, where they deliver value and information that the audience is seeking. The key is to focus on beginner and basic answers, as there are always new people seeking this information, and the curse of knowledge often causes creators to overlook the obvious.The speaker gives an example of a successful YouTuber who delivers basic information with minimal production value, yet still manages to attract a large audience due to the quality of his content. The speaker encourages people to start simple and upload one video at a time, pacing themselves and gradually building up their content library. He acknowledges that there may be many other things to consider, but advises creators to focus on one thing at a time and seek guidance from channels like his. Overall, the speaker’s message is that with a smartphone and a willingness to learn, anyone can start creating content for YouTube and building an audience over time.Want a deeper dive?

Why Ignoring YouTube Could Cost You Business [Video]

Why YouTube Is a Must-Have Platform for Serious EntrepreneursWhy YouTube Is the Key to Building a Strong Personal BrandIn this video, Sean Cannell emphasizes the importance of YouTube as a platform for serious business owners, entrepreneurs, and creatives. He starts by stating that it would be irresponsible for any of them to ignore YouTube, as it provides a unique opportunity to create content that can live on forever and continue to attract views over a long period of time.Cannell speaks from experience, having been in the video and social media industry for a long time. He started a freelance video business in 2009 and eventually founded Think Media, where he discovered the power of affiliate marketing, content creation, and video ranking. He fell in love with YouTube because it is the only platform where content can truly live on forever.What makes YouTube unique, according to Cannell, is that it is not just a content feed like other social media platforms. It is a content library where users can find videos related to specific topics they are interested in. This is made possible by YouTube’s algorithm, which recommends content to viewers based on their behavior.This makes it a powerful tool for entrepreneurs and creatives who want to attract their ideal customers and clients. By creating strategic content that addresses their pain points and problems, they can attract and serve their target audience, ultimately leading to monetization.Although YouTube is not traditionally considered a social media platform, it does offer unique interactive features such as comments and conversations. While it may not be as interactive as other platforms, Cannell notes that YouTube is a forgotten social media platform that is not always included in the list of social media platforms.YouTube is also expanding into podcasting, which Cannell is excited about. In fact, he reveals that YouTube is the number one podcast destination for listening consumption, despite being larger than other traditional podcasting platforms such as Apple and Spotify. YouTube is investing in audio creators, acquiring 20 NPR shows, and investing $500,000 into creators who are transitioning from audio to video podcasting.In summary, Cannell encourages entrepreneurs and creatives to invest in their YouTube presence to maximize their impact, protect their brand, and future-proof their business. By leveraging YouTube’s unique features, they can create strategic content that attracts and serves their ideal audience, ultimately leading to monetization and long-term success.Want a deeper dive?
