How Youtube Works


1. How To Find Proven Topics For Video

Creating Video Topics


• 1) Easy Win: Take existing content you already have and turn it into videos

• This is the easiest win because you already have the content!




• Get a list of your top performing blog posts in terms of interaction

• Turn that content into video!

covering, and model that!

ideas!

quickly?


2. Get More Out Of Every Video You Create


• In terms of what YouTube thinks is a quality video there are a lot of

factors

• However the most important ones are watch time and engagement.

• YouTube’s goal is to keep people on the site - so the longer you keep

people on, engaged, watching videos the better!

• Let’s break down each element:

Creating Videos


• Getting people to watch

• The title, description, thumb, get the click.

• Focus on High CTR headlines, intriguing headlines

that match with highly searched topics, and using

bold colors

• First 15 seconds has to be killer: make sure to get

into the hook / preview of what it’s about, or a teaser

Creating Videos


• Increasing watch time

• 7-16 min get up to

50% more views.

3. Easy Video Optimization For More Traffic


• Studies are showing that there isn’t as much correlation between

keywords and actual rankings within YouTube - however that doesn’t

mean you shouldn’t optimize.

• As it may mean less for rankings, it still matters for understanding what

the video is about and relevancy!

Video Optimization


• There are a few basic video optimization things you’ll want to do to

make sure you’re giving max relevancy:

• Keyword in the upload filename, title, description

• This covers the basics, but is becoming less important vs other factors

over time

Video Optimization


• The bigger opportunity:

• Most channel traffic will

come from suggested videos

• How do you get there?

• TAGS!!

Poll Question 2



Reminder: Q&A At The End!


• I know it’s not as easy as it sounds!

• First, it’s really expensive.

• Industry standards are $1000 per MINUTE of video!

• A HD camera can costs thousands

• Let alone lights, studio, actors, editing, editing software

Problems



• On top of that, there’s the simple fact that most people don’t want to be

on camera!

Problems



• What if we could…

• …Make pro level videos, for a reasonable price?

• Create lots of content, in a scalable way?

• You didn’t have to be on video?

• You could just sit back and relax?

Video Is Hard


Would You Be Interested In Hearing About it?


• About a year ago we started looking for a solution for this.

• We found a bunch of solutions that didn’t really cut it.

• Most solutions were either poorly animated videos that didn’t really

match the quality we were looking for.

• Really cheesy spokesperson type videos that didn’t match our brand.

• Or on the other hand, videos that were custom made and way to

expensive to scale.

The Solution


• So we went to work.

• We found a national TV producer and brought her on board.

• Hired professional script writers

• We created a studio, hired professional actors

• Created an entire editing team

• And created a process for producing high quality video at scale….

The Solution



• HOTH Video takes your blog content and turns it into high quality, engaging

videos.

• It’s the only thing like it of it’s kind and this is the KEY to capturing this

massive opportunity with Video… without doing it yourself!

• It allows you to sit back as we do all the hard work of turning your content

into killer videos so you can take advantage of this massive opportunity with
