Hook

Their other posts in the index, biggest breakout first.
You've probably seen 100s of videos about how you can make tons of money with FACELESS YouTube shorts. But they don't tell you everything you need to know, and usually try to sell you that missing information through an expensive course. Well, I wanna try it out and I don't sell courses so I'll be showing EVERYTHING. Welcome back to episode 4 of the YouTube automation series where I try and launch my own YouTube automation channel from scratch, all on my own with minimal financial investment, to see if it really is possible. If you haven't seen the other episodes, then head over to my page to catch up, but today we'll be talking about: strategy. We already made our first video in the last episode, but now we need to decide on a posting schedule and general strategy going forward. The videos will follow a hook, context, story, conclusion format all on a loop system, which is where you open a curiosity gap before providing context to close that curiosity gap while simultaneously opening another curiosity gap. Think of it as constantly re-hooking the viewer for each section, instead of just using a hook at the start of the video. Here's an example taken from the first video script: We hook the viewer at the very beginning, then provide some context to what the hell we're talking about, then immediately re-hook them again. We'll try to follow this exact format for every video that goes up on the channel. And as for the posting schedule... I've heard all sorts of things. Some people say it's essential to post everyday, and others say it doesn't matter so much. So, as I'm just doing this in my free time, and I have other stuff to do, I'll try and post as much as I can, but it probably won't be daily uploads. BUT, speaking of the posting schedule, it's time to talk about the SECRET launch strategy that we'll be testing out for this channel. I saw a video talking about this strategy for long-form videos a while back, but I think it could be quite beneficial for short-form channels as well. And it's basically just as simple as launching the channel with multiple videos instead of just one video. And here's why: This series is a great example. I saw a few different comments on the first episode where people were asking where part 2 is, or saying that they were excited for the next episode... Now, some people, after viewing that first episode, might have been interested, but visited my profile, seen that there were no other episodes uploaded yet, and then decided not to follow, because they didn't want to wait for the next episode. NOW imagine if I launched this series by posting the first five videos all on the same day. That problem would be erased. Which would probably have meant more followers, which would mean more views; more videos would have meant more views; AND the algorithm would have more data to understand who my videos are for, which again, would mean more views. So we'll be testing that strategy out by posting the first 5 videos on the channel all on the same day, to see if it works... Like I said earlier, I'm not a guru and I don't sell courses. I'm just a normal guy that wants to try making a side-hustle work for me, and this series will document EVERYTHING that goes into it, so that you can learn from both my WINS and MISTAKES along the way. So if you wanna learn how to do this alongside me, then leave a like for the algorithm, and press the follow button to follow along with the journey. In the next episode, I'll show a more in-depth look at exactly how I'm creating these videos, including which programs, AI services, and prompts that I'm using to make it happen. See you there!
