hey it’s technology Tuesday and today
I’m talking about YouTube videos and
whether I use a script or not to make
these videos happen so I got a great
question from one of my youtube viewers
love you guys James Harden say I’m
listening watching have to start my own
videos
I love the messages or rants do you use
a script or do retakes so James is a
fantastic question and for any of you
guys who are trying to get started on
YouTube I can explain my process before
and what I do now so when I first
started oh man it took me a long time to
do a video like an entire day to do one
video and I wasn’t happy with it and it
would be all scripted it would be
totally scripted and I will try to
memorize it word-for-word cuz I spent a
lot of time in writing great copy and I
wanted to be perfect and get my point
out exactly as I as I wanted to
the result was you could see in a lot of
the videos that I’m struggling to
remember what I was saying and I was so
focused on saying the right words that I
wasn’t using feeling when I was saying
it and so the content may be great but
there’s no passion and because there’s
not as much passion in it people can’t
connect to it and so I did have as many
views and I didn’t as many comments and
didn’t as much engagement and I hated
watching it too those are my first
videos and it took like an entire day to
do one video because you got a scripted
and memorized and practice and do one
sentence and come back and practice and
another sentence and so it took a long
time now my poster says I get a question
I’ll think about it some of the
questions are really easy so like this
one I’m just kind of telling what I do
so it’s a little bit easier some of them
make me think and I want to give
concrete answers and I have to think a
little bit more about it but usually
what I do is I will read the question on
my computer and then walk outside and
and just walk around in a circle a
couple times and and do it so I’ll
practice that go through a full however
long it takes five minutes ten minutes
whatever practice going through it
and think about what points come up and
when I first do it it’s not as eloquent
and I get another idea and that comes in
and so it comes down it’s not great as I
go through it and then I come in and I
mic up and I answer just as just like
what I did when I was walking around but
usually it’s a little more eloquent and
thought-out because I had that one
practice run so that’s the process now
and so a video might be seven minutes
long plus me walking outside for ten
minutes trying to figure out what I’m
gonna say so it takes me that you know
17 20 minutes to do each video assuming
I have to do a little bit of thinking
for what if the contents gonna be but
you know I don’t do scripts now I don’t
do retakes if I do a mistake I may say
in the video hey Christina you know what
let’s let’s cancel that part out and and
I’ll start over but it doesn’t really
happen that much and if I do a mistake I
usually just keep it in and if I miss a
point whatever we keep going on and some
of the videos have me doing some weird
stuff at the end of it you know if I
forgot what was gonna say and I start
dancing or whatever just to try to
refresh my memory
Christina will pop those in at the end
of the videos is kind of a bloopers I
wish I had more bloopers and I think if
I had people here it’s just me filming
then I probably have more bloopers and
jokes but I don’t anyway
rambling what’s important is that you
get started okay and I wouldn’t compare
you now to where I am now because I had
to go through I don’t know how many
videos I have done them it’d be 1,200 a
lot of them aren’t published but I’ve
done like 1,200 videos and so I’ve
learned a lot and I’ve had years of
practice doing this and I’ve gotten
better as I’ve gone along and so it’s
not fair to compare where you are now
where you’re just getting started to
what I’m doing now because you may start
and you may try to go with no script and
say oh this is too hard I can’t do it
I’m never gonna be successful I suck I’m
gonna stop whatever you need to get
started that’s what you want to do the
most important thing is that you’re
starting so if you need a script use a
script we need retakes do retakes the
most important thing is that content is
getting out there
because you need time to develop your
own style
it took me eight hundred videos to get
to the point where I could watch my
video and say you know that’s not bad I
kind of like it
obviously you’re your own worst critic
and you’re gonna look at your first
video and say wow that’s so bad nobody’s
ever gonna care noise are we gonna watch
it put it up and then put the next one
up and put the next one up and again
again took the 800 videos before I got
to the point where I could watch it and
think it was half decent so whatever
helps you launch that first video do it
what you’ll find is you’ll develop your
style you look at how my videos have
grown and they’re not the same you know
my videos now are not the same as they
were before and you look at any popular
YouTube channel people who’ve blown up
and become YouTube celebrities you look
at their videos now they’re not the same
as when they started the ones when they
started you look as like wow so there’s
no effects you know it’s just that
person in the field whatever it is that
their style they’re still developing so
it’s still super rough but that’s part
of your story and you need to go through
that journey to get comfortable to get
to the point where you’re in the flow
and your style will develop and that’s
okay so you need to put in the hours you
got to put up the videos whatever helps
you get started do it and when you send
your first one out shoot me a link
because I want to check it out and see
the first video that you put up after
