Why it’s important to build credibility.

Let’s face it, the last thing your viewers want to do is watch someone they can’t relate to. What do you do? How do you build credibility and connect with your audience? On this episode of The Amazing Seller, you’ll hear from Scott and Sean as they explain why building credibility is so important. According to the guys, one of the best ways to build credibility is by sharing aspects of your personal life. You don’t have to give all the details in a way that feels like your whole life is on display for the internet to see, but there are ways to subtly show who you are and what you are passionate about to your following. Hear practical examples of this strategy by listening to Scott and Sean on this helpful episode!

Lead with storytelling!

At the end of the day, as humans, we are drawn to stories. Big stories and small stories draw you in and help you feel connected to the person who is speaking. Think back to the last time you were bored out of your mind by a public speaker, chances are they failed to share a compelling story! If you have any hope of launching and sustaining a successful YouTube channel, you’ve got to work on telling good stories. Learn more about the power of storytelling as it related to YouTube and building your brand by listening to this episode of The Amazing Seller!

Practical tips for creating great videos.

Let’s get down to it, what are some helpful tips that sellers like you can use to create great videos for your YouTube channel? Here is a glimpse at a few methods you can use from Sean;

  1. The average time you should shoot for is between 7 and 16 minutes. Sean says that it’s important to keep your videos as long as they need to be but try to keep them as short as possible.
  2. The first 10 seconds of your video is critical. Make sure you lead with a hook! Tell your audience what you will deliver and tease it out.
  3. Use YouTube tools to drive your audience to the next video they need to see. Create bingeable content that serves your audience.
