Last month was insane! My clients achieved incredible results following my systems: Check this out 👇🏼 🏆 A channel with 8k subscribers generated over $25k in one month!

Meet up with them once a month or a week, keep it casual, drink, golf, chill on a beach. 3 Months like this is enough to change your business forever. Who's one person you got around that completely changed how you think?

And this levelled me up without realising. So if you want to develop faster, don't buy a course or watch videos, just go find a small group of business owners all pushing hard for success.

Leaving the UK grew my business more in 3 months than the previous 5 years combined. But it wasn't the travel, sunshine or no Kier Starmer. It was because of a weekly Friday evening beer. Each week, I started to meet up with people who were thinking big and experimenting.

I started and ran a production company for 5 years.  In that time we produced 14k videos for businesses. Here’s the biggest mistake we made that lost us a job with Nike, and I'd advise anyone who wants to charge for editing or production avoids.  Let’s start with Nike.  👇🏼

I'm going to show you the 6 steps Smeaf took to build this thumbnail, which performed amazingly well!

@ericosiu Nice! Watch your podcast almost every day now, really interesting to see how you and Neil use AI

We just open-sourced 6 more production AI marketing skills to our big AI business skills repo (1.9k stars) Total count: 17 skill categories, 32K lines of code, all MIT licensed.

We run every one of these daily on real client work. If it survives 3 months in production, we sanitize it and push it public. Star it. Fork it. Sell it. We don't care. MIT license. More coming soon.

@AhmedGamalx69 @sumon_mov I have typos im almost every video ive ever made. its a sign its a legit Ed and that Im dyslexic and cant tell the difference and dont really care even if if do ,

@sumon_mov @Ed_FilmBooth Great typo sumon

Here's a test edit @Ed_FilmBooth

@decimablack ah yea this is kind of what we found too, where as regular link clicks average is 1%, up to 18%

@Ed_FilmBooth our main goals with educational content is to get site visits / link clicks so % of QR scans of those clicks is a fair assessment imo but if you compare view count to QR scans it’s like 0.05%

If you're getting 100,000 views, 45,000 of those people have no way to book a call with you right now. Nobody EVER talks about this YouTube stat, and I don’t know why. 45% of YouTube views happen on TV. Those viewers have no way to click description links or on-screen overlays. So, we add a QR code CTA on every single video. Make it once, then reuse it for every video, and it stops wasting 45% of your views. Check your device breakdown analytics. If TV is 35%+, put a QR code in every video.

@decimablack Do you have the data for views to scans? Website click % doesnt really have any meaning , you could have 100 visitors to your page and 1 million views, Or a rough idea?

@Ed_FilmBooth it’s ~5% of website clicks

@AndruEdwards @YouTube 20 years of being a creator is 140 years in normal years. How do you look so good for a 140yr old?

There's a closer look at the 20th anniversary package @YouTube sent over, with the custom-designed jacket and hanger. Super-cool way to celebrate YouTube's 20th year, and also my channel turning 19 years-old! 🙌🏽

@iannuttall Just work in your fridge

my 2 year old m3 macbook pro is starting to overheat every time i use it somebody talk me out of dropping 5k on a new m4!

@noahmorris This is true, I found success failing 1000 times and winning big 10

I know most of you know this fact already. But you would be surprised how many know this information but don’t act like it. It’s pretty wild

I know this is getting repetitive. But, the more i talk to people the more harmful I realise sharing business results actually are. beginners (in any type of business) scroll here on X or instagram all day. They see people winning (survivorship bias) - and subsequently panic when their first 10 attempts don’t get them to 5-10k a month. Just last month alone I’ve seen dozen people get 100k+ views on their third or fourth video panic because the next videos didn’t get the same results. Truly the only reason I am where I am today is because I kept pushing because I had A - long term vision for my life. B I never look at the clock, I get excited for the little gains every single day. And one day you wake up and you are where you needed to be. And really this is how it goes. Very rarely is it an overnight success story

Here’s 1 thing I learned about “trolls” that changed the way I made videos.  As an educator, we often want to give as much value as possible but sometimes that value is not meant for beginner’s ears.  🧵/1

Leon Hendrix went from 5,000 to 100,000 subscribers in a just a few months. But how? I asked him, and he told me his 5-step system to rapid YouTube success (which had some guidance from Mr Beast himself) 🧵/1

@monkeydogify aww so cool you guys met!

We’ve always thought that if we were actually together, the world might come off its axis. It did. The best day! I’m so thankful for my gang of Simie, Dimitri and Meadow. I chose these glasses for her. Thank you @Ed_FilmBooth for hooking me up with my Sith Lord Bestie.

Last week for my birthday, I shot off to meet this lass. We have been friends for a year after meeting in a YouTube group, and have helped push each other’s businesses forward. But she lives in Hawaii so we’ve always had 11 hours’ time difference.

Do you find that some videos explode and some do rubbish? There’s a really quick and simple way you can work out why this might happen.   Here's a mini-experiment for you to try.

The Futur, @theChrisDo's YouTube channel has over 220M views and generates millions of $ I wanted to know his system for: 1.Getting more views. 2.Generating more money for his business. So… I asked him. Here are 2 ridiculously important lessons from a YouTube legend: 🧵/1

It has been claimed that 99% of movies are garbage because of 9 big reasons, turns out they relate to YouTube as well.  Here’s all 9 to make sure you don’t fall into the “garbage” content trap.
