Episode notes
Hook In First 3–6 Seconds
- Grab attention by triggering an immediate emotion and opening a curiosity gap in the first 3–6 seconds.
- If you don't make viewers feel something and wonder what's next, you lose watch time and growth potential.
Maximize Curiosity Without Overload
- Create as many clear, but not confusing, questions for the viewer as possible to build curiosity.
- Maintain clarity so viewers know what to focus on and won't scroll away from sensory overload.
Design Videos Backwards
- Design every video in reverse: decide the intended comment/share outcome before filming.
- Pre-frame captions and top comments so the comment section amplifies your message and shareability.
