in this video i'm going to show you three secrets that i use all of the time to help you get more likes comments and subscribers and by the end of this you're going to be armed with some really powerful ways to make better videos that are going to create an emotional reaction with your viewers and it's even going to bring out comments from people who have never commented before i've never actually told anyone about this ever apart from hillary smith so let's start with the first secret and this is like falling into a bargain bucket
of kentucky fried talent it's also how i recently got morgan freeman to do a voiceover in my video ed unlisted all those videos which resulted in way more comments and in truth it was this dude on fiverr i sent him a script he recorded it and he sent it back to me the next day and that was it easy i've also had some jingles made here too this awesome lady sings anything i ask you write the words and i'll make a jingle like this and that's what five is really good for harnessing other people's talents
to quickly make your videos more creative which will bring in more likes subscribers and comments but you do need to be careful because for every gem there are 100 stinkers on fiverr and i've been scammed before unfortunately and that was the moment the viewers realized ed wasn't sponsored by fiverr how's that for a plot twist so how would this get you more comments likes and subscribers well putting it simply the more effort you put into trying to surprise your viewers with something they might not have expected to see when they hit play the more they
will appreciate you and the more they want to show that appreciation by clicking here here or here and fiverr has so much opportunity for you to get this result for example i could have a british lady present a line of video this british lady has a name you know or i could get christopher walken and arnold schwarzenegger to argue over what was a better camera come on arnie clearly cannon is number one no sony is better or maybe have an artist turn the opening scene of a video into a comic to try and hook a
viewer so now you know what that intro is all about which takes me on to the next thing i don't really want to tell you but fine i will because it's important and that's this i steal things you need to start stealing too because theft is a great way to get more comments more likes and more subscribers so let me explain and dig myself out of this whole creativity is around you all day every day and the more in tune you are with it the better it's going to be for your channel and your viewers
if there's a moment in a film where you see a cool graphic or a transition and it creates a positive feeling inside of you recognize that and then steal it and remake it in your own videos if you're listening to a podcast and someone comes up with an amazing metaphor bag it tick-tock as well is just an amazing platform to steal from because of the way people can hook you in an instant the silly jokes the memes and even the editing tricks are something that you can just nick i stole the idea of visiting your
past self in a previous video from charles dickens christmas carol and i stole this scene here from star wars just don't tell disney okay so maybe steel is too harsh a word so let's call it creative borrowing or i guess inspiration so this next secret is not just going to make your next video better straight away and drive likes and comments and subscribers but it's so powerful it'll probably freak you out and that is this when i'm in the planning stage of my content one of the first things i do is to write what i
want to see written in the comments from the viewers let me explain this is the planning document for this video here and that there is the reaction i wrote that i wanted viewers to have and see written back in the comments before i made it and then this was the result they might need to pause the video to read the comments and they're not the exact words that i wrote but usually they're pretty similar and look here's another example for here i wrote i wanted people to say why has no one ever explained it like
this before and the result now it's crazy but by setting a comment goal for your video about what you'd love people to comment after watching it it actually ensures you can hit it and that is so powerful because you're never going to hit a target you don't aim for and it's scary how often i see comment goals come back at me so how do you do this well the first thing is when you've got your general idea for your video you want to write your comment goals at the to the page and then write your
plan and script below it if you do write a script when you've done that read it back and ask yourself will this plan and script make people comment these things and if you think it won't ask yourself why and then work on it until you think it will do to your best ability once you're happy with it then go and make the video but when you edit and you think it's done you need to do this again watch it back and ask yourself the same question but actually it goes even deeper because when i interviewed
hilliar smith there was a bit of the interview that i didn't show you where we both spoke to each other about this technique i was using and it turns out that hillier was actually doing it too but his way was even more powerful and this is what he said is there anything that you could give people to do to say look before you start editing do this thing just to remind you of your actual goal here yeah i'd say feeling uh emotions write that down on a post-it note and stick it on your computer and
have that remind yourself of the feeling that you want to create after our conversation i thought i'd try his technique out so when planning this video here i decided i really wanted people to feel inspired and motivated not only that i also said probably one of my most ambitious comment goals ever and that was to make a video people watched multiple times something they'd come back to and they needed to experience those emotions and i thought yeah all right ed dream on but guess what and i could not believe this the emotions came back many
times and my common goals look i know this sounds far fetched but i honestly think this will help you get more likes comments and subscribers because you're shifting your focus completely to that viewers experience and then your viewers will want to thank you for it and actually do you know what let's put my money where my mouth is shall we my goal for this video here was to make people write say or think i want to try and make more effort with my content now or this has actually changed my outlook on how i could
make my videos ongoing feel free to click it and see if you think i actually managed to hit those comment goals
