So, what do you say in the beginning of a YouTube episode? I guess I just said something. So, there’s certainly a better way that you can start YouTube episode though. Make sure you get better results. So, Karin, we’re actually going to demo. So, I’m going to step out of the shot and coach you on how to start a YouTube episode so you can get people to watch a lot longer in the episode not just a leave right away. Sound good? -Sounds great. -Okay, yeah. So, just… You’re going to make eye contact with that lens just look straight into the lens and conversational. We don’t need to have a stage voice or anything. The title of video how to use Alo vera for pimples and acne. So, 2 things. You want to tell them what the video is about. And that’s a great title. Just to tell them what the videos about. And then give them a reason why. Like why should they watch this video. You know, what’s your credibility? Why they need to watch it from you? Or if they watch this video, is it going to change their life or just going to make things a lot easier. That make sense? So, not only we’re gonna answer the question but kind of back that question up. So what would be a reason? What would be a good line to use like why? Oh! Let me demo it for you. -Okay. -So, if I were if I were looking at the camera, I’d say, “Welcome back. Are you wondering if you can use aloe vera for pimples and acne? The answer is actually yes. And I’m going to show you how you use it…” And I’m just making it up but… -Why should they watch it. -Yeah. I’ll demo another way and this is going to be fictional because I’ve never done this. But would you like to know an amazing remedy for pimples and acne that you can find in your kitchen? And you saw the title aloe vera. I’ve been using this for years. I used to have terrible acne. Now, look at this amazing skin. I’m going to show you how it works. That make sense? So, I’m just… I’m embellishing a little bit more. I’m kind of giving them a hook and giving myself some credibility of like why you should watch this episode? Why I’m the one that’s teaching this. -Okay. -Alright. -Hi, guys. So, do you want to… Hi guys, so do you want to know how to cure acne or prevent acne with just one ingredient that you can find right in your fridge? It’s less expensive and it will cure acne or prevent it. I’ve always had acne throughout my high school years and I cleared my whole skin with just this one ingredient, aloe vera. -Awesome. I actually… I think you did great and you kept going even longer than you needed to. I think you did fantastic. One thing that I’ll share is instead of saying “Hey, guys” Because you’re just talking to one person at a time. -Okay. -I’m being really rude because you did so good. But if you’re… If you just if one person is watching at a time you’d say, “Hey, guys” it’s kind of like, “Oh, you’re talking to everyone, not me.” But if you say “hey, there” you know? Or… -Make it more intimate? -Yeah. -Okay. -But you did really good. I mean, you did it… Look… I just to give you make this more challenging. Let’s change the title. So, let’s do the video, “Can drinking aloe vera juice help acne?” So, go ahead and give it a try. Basically tell them what the video is about and then give them a reason why. -Okay. Hi! So, have you guys ever… I said just “hi Guys”.Hi, have you ever… Okay. Hi, there. Have you ever wonder if drinking aloe vera actually helps with acne? The answer is absolutely yes. Have you ever heard of that saying that the reflection of your outside looks is a reflection of what’s inside? Well this is exactly what we’re going to be talking about in this video. -Okay, good job. I liked it. Especially the intro. I loved the question like, “Have you ever wondered…” I really like that. I think that was good. Maybe you could give them a prediction. So.. “Well, in this video I’m going to share with you why it’s good internally and…” Let them try because I don’t know the content. So, it helps acne. -Yeah. -So, in this video, I’m going to show you some before and afters and tell you why taking all internally actually helps with acne. So, you’re just giving a little bit more concrete chart. One more time. -Okay. Hey there. Have you ever wondered if drinking aloe vera can prevent acne? I’m going to show you before and after pictures of half of my skin to show you the results. -Okay, I saw something… Edit out your little hesitation there. Good job. -Okay. -So, it’s just 2 things. Right? You tell what the video is about and you give them a strong reason why they should watch it give some credibility or kind of back up what you’re saying. Sometimes you can give them a hook saying “And if you watch all the way to the end, I’ll show you a recipe of how you can include Aloe Vera in the smoothie. So, make sure you watch all the way to the end.” So that would be like a hook. But that’s it. Just by starting your video in this way, people know what the video is about. They know that they’re in the right place. And they’ve gotten some credibility reason to watch the whole episode. So you start your episodes this way. It’ll make a big difference. That’s it. Is that easy enough? -Easy enough. -Take a little bit of practice. Getting used to it. But yeah, you’re already really good at it. -We’ll keep practicing. -So, the real test is if we’ve still got viewers. I mean maybe I started this episode all wrong. Let us know in the comments below. And if you did watch this far, obviously you liked it and you should be a subscriber on the channel. And so we’ll see you in the next episode.
