Big Idea

The argument in one line.

Swapping one exhausting all-purpose video format for a rotating menu of formats plus a five-step ideate-plan-record-edit-upload system lets a creator cut production time from days to three hours while multiplying upload frequency and building the repeat-viewer audience that actually converts into sales.

Who This Is For

Read if. Skip if.

READ IF YOU ARE…

A business owner or coach making YouTube videos who is stuck at one or two uploads a month and wants a repeatable process to publish more without adding hours.
A creator with real expertise who has been stuck making the same long 'teach' video over and over and is starting to burn out from it.
Someone about to relaunch or restart a channel who needs a lightweight title, script, and format system before ever touching a camera.

SKIP IF…

You already have a fast, format-diverse publishing pipeline and want advanced editing, SEO, or algorithm tactics rather than a beginner production system.
You're looking for a video about growing subscribers through ads or discovery — this is entirely about production speed and repeat-viewer warmth, not reach.

TL;DR

The full version, fast.

The video argues that per-video polish matters less than upload frequency, because a bigger pool of repeat viewers who binge-watch multiple videos converts into sales far more reliably than one-off view counts. The creator teaches a rotating menu of eight video formats (teach, document, show, respond) so a channel isn't stuck making the same demanding video every time, then a five-step production system: ideate a big, bold, pain-and-dream title; plan the intro and each point using a 'pull, paint, point' structure; record in long fluent takes instead of short scripted lines; edit only cuts, titles, and sound/color; then upload and spend the time between videos upskilling. Run as a 30-45 day experiment at one to seven videos a week, the system is what compresses production from three to seven days down to three hours.

Chapters

Where the time goes.

00:00 – 00:58

01 · The promise: double sales by publishing more, not chasing virality

Cold open reframes the goal from viral hits to lifting weekly upload volume, tying it directly to a personal sales result from last month.

00:58 – 03:12

02 · Old way vs. new way

Contrasts the old process (3-7 days per video, two uploads a month, chasing new viewers, low-grade anxiety) with the new one (3 hours per video, 3+ uploads a week, building a warm repeat-viewer club).

03:12 – 05:02

03 · The four pillars: formats, speaking, visuals, 80/20

Names the four ingredients behind a 3-hour video — a rotating menu of formats, a speaking-first delivery style, visual aids baked in live, and ruthless 80/20 focus — then plugs the paid program built around them.

05:02 – 10:24

04 · Eight video formats: teach, document, show, respond

Breaks the format menu into four buckets — teach (listicle, system, big idea), document (vlog, update), show (case study, walkthrough), and respond (Q&A, coach, news, reaction) — arguing a rotating mix builds trust faster than any single expert-only format.

10:24 – 11:46

05 · Run it as a 30-45 day experiment

Frames the whole system as a time-boxed experiment rather than a permanent overhaul, at one to seven videos a week, with a 'regular lane' (one a week) and 'beast mode' (five to seven a week) option.

11:46 – 16:42

06 · Step 1 — Ideate: kill the tentative, in-the-weeds title

Names two title mistakes (tentative hedging and being 'in the weeds') and their fixes (big and bold, packaging around pain and dream), illustrated with a marriage-coaching title rewrite that turns 'how to improve your marriage' into 'give me seven minutes and I will save your marriage.'

16:42 – 20:10

07 · Step 2 — Plan: the intro links the packaging, then pull-paint-point

Argues the intro's only job is bridging the packaging to the content (promise, explain, setup, prove), then gives the 'pull, paint, point' structure for scripting each point in the body of the video.

20:10 – 24:07

08 · Step 3 — Record: speak in long takes, not short ones

Ties speaking ability directly to cut count and editing time, then gives three recording tips: write bullet points instead of a full script, 'keep pedaling' through a lost train of thought instead of restarting, and manage sleep, exercise, and stress before recording.

24:07 – 25:00

09 · Step 4 — Edit: cuts, titles, sound and color, nothing else

Keeps editing to cutting mistakes together, adding titles where useful, and boosting sound and color — fast because the visual aids were already baked in live during recording.

25:00 – 25:25

10 · Step 5 — Upload, then upskill between videos

Upload itself is simple; the real lever between videos is deliberately practicing ideation, packaging, planning, and speaking instead of coasting.

25:25 – 27:03

11 · The pitch: install the system in six weeks or spiral without one

Closes with the paid program pitch (six weeks, six videos, regular vs. beast-mode lanes) framed against the 'downward spiral' of frustration and procrastination that not having a system creates.

Atomic Insights

Lines worth screenshotting.

Doubling a business's YouTube-driven sales can come from upload frequency alone, without a viral video or a new product launch.
A channel uploading twice a month rarely builds repeat viewers, because a single video with no fast follow-up just gets watched once and forgotten.
The real target metric isn't views, it's superfans: people who watch ten videos and then buy.
Sticking to one demanding video format burns out the creator and bores the audience long before either notices why.
Documenting a journey with no expertise yet can out-trust an expert's advice videos, because the story itself carries the value.
A single-take, unscripted 'big idea' video can take 30 minutes to make and still be some of a channel's best-performing content.
A tentative title fails because it doesn't quantify the outcome — 'improve' could mean a lot or a little, so there's no reason to click.
Titles built around a mechanism the audience doesn't know they need (like 'repeat viewers') underperform titles built around the pain or dream they already feel.
Rewriting 'how to improve your marriage' into 'give me seven minutes and I will save your marriage' shows the whole pattern: replace a vague verb with a strong one and add a bold time constraint.
An intro's only real job is bridging the title's promise to the content that follows, not manufacturing suspense from nothing.
The number of cuts a video needs is a direct function of how long the speaker can talk fluently without stopping.
Writing single-word bullet points instead of a full script lets a speaker talk naturally around an idea instead of reciting it from memory.
If you lose your train of thought on camera, continuing to talk hides the stumble better than stopping and restarting the take.
Editing stays fast only when the visuals are captured live during recording instead of built afterward in post.

Takeaway

Five steps replace one exhausting production loop.

PRODUCTION SYSTEM

Cutting production time from days to hours comes less from working faster and more from replacing one all-purpose video format with a repeatable five-step system.

01The promise: double sales by publishing more, not chasing virality

Doubling revenue doesn't require a viral breakout or a new product launch — it can come from simply increasing how often you publish with what you already have.

02Old way vs. new way

A channel uploading twice a month rarely builds repeat viewers, because a video with no fast follow-up just gets watched once and forgotten.
The goal worth optimizing for is superfans who watch ten videos and then buy, not one-off view counts.

03The four pillars: formats, speaking, visuals, 80/20

Sticking to one demanding video format burns out both the creator and the audience; format variety is what makes higher output sustainable.

04Eight video formats: teach, document, show, respond

A rotating menu of formats (teach, document, show, respond) builds trust faster than expert-only content, because each format proves a different kind of credibility.
Documenting a journey works even with zero expertise yet — the story itself is the value, not the advice.
The lowest-effort format, a single-take walk-and-talk sharing one idea, can still be some of a channel's best-performing content.

05Run it as a 30-45 day experiment

Framing a new process as a 30-45 day experiment rather than a permanent change lowers the barrier to sticking with it through the initial friction.

06Step 1 — Ideate: kill the tentative, in-the-weeds title

A tentative title fails because it doesn't quantify the outcome, so there's no reason for a reader to click.
The strongest titles sit close to the reader's actual pain or dream, not the mechanism that produces it — most readers don't yet know why the mechanism should matter.
Rewriting a vague promise into a bold, time-boxed one ("give me seven minutes and I will save your marriage") is a repeatable title pattern.

07Step 2 — Plan: the intro links the packaging, then pull-paint-point

An intro's only real job is bridging the title's promise to the content that follows, not manufacturing suspense from nothing.
Structuring each point as pull (pain/dream), paint (story), point (action step) keeps a script on-topic and re-hooks the audience repeatedly.

08Step 3 — Record: speak in long takes, not short ones

The number of cuts a piece of content needs is a direct function of how long the creator can deliver fluently without stopping.
Writing short bullet points instead of a full script lets a speaker talk naturally around an idea instead of reciting it from memory.
If you lose your train of thought while recording, continuing to talk hides the stumble better than stopping and restarting.

09Step 4 — Edit: cuts, titles, sound and color, nothing else

Editing stays fast only when visuals are captured live during recording instead of built afterward in post.

10Step 5 — Upload, then upskill between videos

The real differentiator between videos isn't the upload step, it's what a creator does with their spare time to improve ideation, packaging, and delivery skills.

Glossary

Terms worth knowing.

Pull, paint, point: A three-part structure for scripting each point in a video: pull the viewer back to their pain or dream, paint the idea with a story or example, then deliver the point as a concrete action step.
Tentative title: A title that hedges by promising a vague, incremental improvement ('get a bit better at X') instead of stating a big, specific, bold outcome.
In the weeds: A title or hook built around a technical mechanism or sub-topic the audience doesn't yet know to care about, rather than the pain or dream they already feel.
Beast mode: The accelerated version of the 30-45 day publishing system, where a creator uploads five to seven videos a week instead of one.
Regular lane: The standard pace inside the 30-45 day system: one full video a week using the complete three-hour process, aimed at building consistency and skill before speeding up.

metaphoranalogy

What if I told you that you could double your business over the next 30 days not by having a viral video pop off or by creating a new product and launching that but instead by taking what you have right now and doubling to 5x -ing your YouTube output. This is exactly what I did last month and it literally doubled my sales.

The good news here is that this doesn't mean doubling to 5x -ing the amount of time you put into YouTube because I've discovered a system that allows me to make high -performing YouTube videos in three hours from idea to upload and the cool thing is this works just as well for established businesses who want to double their sales as for new to beginner creators who are looking to build their first five to ten thousand subscribers because i'd actually approach it in the same way grow your warm audience if you can build a rapidly growing pool of people who are binge watching five to ten of your videos your sales will explode they will have no choice because you simply have way more people going through your system who trust you and want to buy from you now you can go on beast mode be a little bit crazy like i didn't upload daily but you don't have to for this to work Because if you can use the system to go from uploading twice a month to uploading twice a week, you could easily double your business too.

So with that said, let's get into the three -hour YouTube system for turbo business growth step by step. So let me present to you the old way that I used to do things, which was really holding me back from YouTube and business growth. I would spend three to seven days per video.

I was only uploading, therefore, two videos a month. My vibe was that I was chasing new viewers the whole time, trying to get new people into my funnel and I felt a little bit desperate. My goal was just chasing views the whole time and if a video didn't get maximum views and reach loads of new people to bring into my channel all the time, I would just constantly feel like I was chasing, like I was underperforming and I had this sort of low hum of anxiety about my channel.

And the result... was that not very many of them converted into warm viewers who had actually binge watched my stuff. And this is partly because I just wasn't uploading frequently.

And so they'd be one video and bye. The new way I'm doing things is so much better. I'm now spending three hours on a video and I'll show you how to do that in just a sec.

In terms of volume, I'm making at least three videos a week. This month I made three a week. Last month, I made one every day.

I'm trying new experiments, but three videos a week is the average now, which is awesome. The vibe is that I'm welcoming new people into the club. I now have a big pool of warm people who are coming back and watching every single one of my videos, which feels good.

It feels nice to have a club. And if you're new here, hey, welcome. It's a better vibe to have.

And the goal here is getting super fans. It's not about constantly chasing new people. It's about building this warm pool of people who come back for more and turning regular viewers, into superfans and keeping that flywheel going.

The result is that people watch 10 videos and buy. So let me show you how to do the same. The first thing we're going to do is we're going to break a belief because to make a three hour video, you know, you might be thinking right now, how do you do that?

Is that even possible? And there might need to be a belief that is well and firmly hit on the head with a hammer. So let's break that belief.

What do we do to make a three hour video? Well, we need formats and recipes. If you make three videos a week or seven videos a week you cannot be making the same type of video over and over again you can't just constantly be making a three tips video or a systems video like this one because you're just going to gas out you're going to burn out you're going to stop and your audience is going to get bored so instead the way that you make more videos is by having a rotating series of video formats now get onto some of the formats that i use in just a second the next thing you want to do is have a speaking first approach the way that you speed all of this game up is by making sure that you are a good and eloquent speaker when it comes to youtube now this can be trained i learned how i've also taught literally thousands of entrepreneurs how to speak eloquently on camera because it just makes everything easier and in the recording section of this video i'll give you some tips on how to speak eloquently so you can speed up your entire process the next part of having a three hour video is visual aids so right now you'll see that i'm using a visual aid instead of me spending loads of time in the editing plastering on visuals afterwards the next thing

is being really strict on the 80 -20 rule. When it comes to YouTube and content creation, we can get so obsessive of the details and that slows every single thing down. Instead, if you can focus just on what you need, it's going to make everything faster.

And the key here is timers. So if you set yourself the challenge in your next video, I have to make this in three hours from idea to upload, you'll be amazed about what you can get done in that time. And by the way, I've just launched a program called the 3 -Hour YouTube System where you'll learn this entire system.

inside and out we've got an awesome rockstar squad in there you have six weeks to make at least six videos on your channel where you'll be implementing this system from idea to upload if you want to come join us the link is in the description let's get into this formats this is one of the key elements of being able to make videos in three hours is having these formats now i've separated these into teach Document show and respond and this will speed up everything and make it way less mentally taxing for you So this is kind of in order of effort and what most people do is just stick to the teach format, right?

Which is the most demanding? it's a great format to have and it should probably be the foundation of your channel, but if only a third or half of a video is a teach and the rest of these other formats it's going to make everything way easier and it's still going to be a buyer engine for you so the first format is a listicle and that's basically where you are saying here are three tips to do this here are three hacks to do this here are the five mistakes to do this this can be a great way to organize and share your information and give people easy wins on your channel the next is a system so the system video you've got your viewers in place a and they want to get to place B and you provide the steps to get there.

And just so you know, this video that you're watching right now is of course a system video. The next video is a big idea. I love this format.

This is where you go on a little walk and you just share a big epiphany or big idea, usually a mindset shift that you want to share with your audience. These videos you can literally make in one take. So you can press record here, you can go along and you can talk for 10 minutes and share something with your audience I found that these videos are the lowest effort.

They often take me literally 30 minutes to do everything and some of the highest reward with them consistently getting between five and 10 ,000 views and keeping people on my channel, keeping people binge watching my videos. The next content pillar is one of my favorites, which is document. Now within document, this is where you make vlogs and this is where you can make update videos.

I firmly believe that those who are documenting through vlogs and updates are building way stronger personal brands. than those who are just sticking to expert content and this is an amazing content pillar and kind of a special one to be honest because it applies both to experts and to beginners so if you're a beginner and you're starting out on youtube and you haven't built up the expertise that you need yet to give these sort of expert advice and expert videos this is the pillar that you'll be doing most of for example if you're not in great shape yet but you still want to document your journey.

So for when you are in great shape, then you can be more of an expert and take that expert angle. You're going to be making vlogs and updates of your journey. One of my favorite fitness YouTubers, a guy called Joe Fazer, did exactly this.

I was hooked on his transformation, I don't know, five or 10 years ago, whenever he started, when he was a really skinny kid trying to bulk up. And along the way, he then pivoted towards expert content. And by that time, I already really trusted him.

You can document like this in almost any niche. And it's an amazing and really fun video format to make. Now, what I believe is a huge gap for most experts is to also document.

This is what I did recently when I was making my 30 videos in 30 days. And I had, you know, video, video, video, video. Let's pretend this is a calendar, right?

Every now and then, one of my videos would be a update. And so I'd say, by the way, I'm doing this crazy 30 -day video challenge. here's how it's doing for my channel.

Here's what's happening for me. Here's what I'm not expecting. Oh my God, now I can make videos in three hours when they were taking me two weeks.

This is crazy. So by doing these update videos, it was giving my audience another reason to watch my content. It wasn't just, oh, I'm here for the tips.

It was also, I'm here to follow the journey. And that is the most powerful thing that will get people to binge watch your videos. Next up we have show.

Now show is a great format because it's the one that builds probably the most trust. and credibility out of any of them, which is when you just show either a case study of one of your clients doing the thing that you taught them to do. And the other thing is a walkthrough and just demonstrate something, demonstrate your process or demonstrate you doing something.

When you show rather than tell, that's what sets you apart from most creators who are just listing information. The final thing is respond. And this is the easiest, most time -saving, energy brain -saving format of all of them, which is to make things like Q &As.

And the reason these are so easy is that you're asking your audience for content or you're asking other people for content and that becomes your content. So the Q &A is an obvious format. Ask your audience a bunch of questions and then answer them on a YouTube video.

The next way is coach. And here you could literally upload a coaching session of you with a client or kind of like the Q &A, you could ask your audience to submit their content. And that could be if you're a knitting channel, their knitting videos for you to then coach them on.

So you can review five people's knitting videos in one video, for example. The next up is news. Now, I very rarely do this, but for some channels, it can absolutely blow them up.

There's a guy called Ben Azadi in the health space right now who is doing loads of news videos. He basically looks for things that are trending. in the health and wellness space and big news articles that are blowing up and then he'll make a video covering that.

And that keeps his existing subscriber base really happy because they want to know his thoughts on that and it's a great way to build more followers. And finally there's a reaction video so you could pay attention to what's going on in your space, in your niche on YouTube and you could react to other people's videos, react to other people's takes on certain subjects etc.

All these formats are hitting your viewers from new angles. So one of them showing that you can teach things really well. Another one showing that you can teach other people really well in the case study.

Another one showing your point of view on something. Another one is showing a day in your life. When these viewers keep on seeing you and your world through these different lenses, it makes them trust you way quicker than if they were just seeing you sat behind the same camera, teaching the same things over and over again.

I've got the basics in place. Let's get onto the system. So what you're going to do is you're going to run a 30 to 45 day.

Experiment I want you to treat this system as an experiment It's something that you are going to be running for the next 30 to 45 days because that does two very important things One is that it's great for your mindset because whenever you learn something new and change your way of doing things There is always this period of friction Maybe it's two weeks when you are experimenting and getting into a new way of making videos It actually becomes slightly harder first before it gets easier.

And if you say oh i'm gonna do this for six weeks rather than I'm going to do this forever. It's going to allow you to push through to the end and actually learn a bunch rather than trying it once and then quitting.

Now, this is a bit meta and it might not apply to your niche, but the next thing this could potentially do is actually give you something to talk about. If for whatever reason, content is meta to your niche. So for example, if you're in the business niche and you want something else to talk about, you feel free to run this as an experiment and then talk about the experiment in your content.

Now for these 30 to 45 days, you're going to want to make one to five videos per week. using this system. And within the three hour YouTube system, we have a couple of lanes that make it really fun for our members.

You can go on the regular lane, which is one video per week, just getting that consistency, putting three hours into each video and building up your skills. Or you can go on beast mode and make five to seven videos a week and give it some welly, which is pretty fun to do for a month. So are you ready to enter the system?

Let's do it. The first step is to ideate. Now, when it comes to ideation and packaging, making your thumbnails and titles for your videos, there are two key mistakes that I see over and over again, and there are two rules to follow which will make your videos way more clickable and make the entire rest of this process work because it all depends on how you ideate in the first place.

This is the true 90 -10 of YouTube. The better you get at this, the easier everything else gets. And the first mistake is making a tentative title.

A tentative title is where you sort of vaguely and abstractly talk about how you could potentially get a bit better at something. That is a, oh, I'm going to play it safe here and I'm going to say, okay, here's how we might improve this a little bit. That's what you're saying in your title.

Instead, the rule here is to be big and bold. The way that YouTube works is that the videos who promise something big in a bold way are the videos that get the clicks. So from now on, let's make a deal, me and you, Let's only make big and bold titles from now on.

No more tentative stuff, all right? Do we have a deal? We have a deal.

The next thing is you make the title in the weeds, right? I'll explain that in just a second. Instead, you want to make the title about the pain and dream of your ideal viewer.

So let's get into exactly what I mean by that. Here's the scale of pain and dream to in the weeds, right? So let's look at an example here.

If you're watching this video, you likely want your YouTube business. to do really well you want more views on your youtube and you want more sales from your youtube business right that's pretty much the top of the the dream we've just described the dream if we describe the pain to that that might be you want to stop making youtube videos that get 10 views and you're banging here against the wall making endless retakes and really not enjoying the process that's the pain that you're currently or maybe you're a business owner an entrepreneur on youtube and your sales are going down and down because your youtube performance isn't doing very well right?

That's the pain. The dream, as I said, is you want everything to go well. Now that's at the top, right?

That's the pain and the dream. Now within that, there are tons of things that one could speak about to help people achieve that dream. One of those things could be speaking to the right avatar.

Another thing could be talking about getting repeat viewers to come back in your videos. Another thing could be the positioning on your channel. However, these things right here are not what is keeping you up at night.

They're not the things that you're constantly worrying about or dreaming about. What you're worrying about and dreaming about is this. And that's how I've packaged this video that you're watching right now.

The mistake that so many people make here is making their packaging in the weeds. So they will package their video to be like this because it's much easier. If I want to talk about, for example, if I wanted to talk about repeat viewers, because that's an important thing.

You want more repeat viewers than cold viewers. But if I package my video like that, here's how to get more repeat viewers on YouTube. That is inherently not as...

emotional and top of mind as a pain and dream packaging and it is way more in the realm of I don't know what you're talking about because maybe that audience doesn't actually know what a repeat viewer is or the value in it and that's something I have to actually give context about and explain in the video and therefore if they don't know they simply don't care.

So let me give you an example of this that we went through with some of my clients recently. Now we had a title that looked something like this how to improve your marriage by turning towards so we can look at this through the lens of these two mistakes which is tentative and in the weeds right let's look at it through those lenses it's tentative because it says improve right how do we quantify that what does improve actually mean and improve could be improve a lot or improve a little bit so there's no buy -in there and the second thing is by turning towards Now turning towards is a scientific principle within relationship science and it's amazing concept But most people don't know what the hell that means and therefore they don't care right this falls within the realm of being somewhere down here Rather than somewhere up here instead.

What would we turn that video title into give me seven minutes and I will save your marriage immediately This is big and bold. You're doing a big, bold promise within a certain time constraint.

And save is a much stronger word than improve. And that is right up there in pain and dreamland. If you are an ideal avatar to that topic, you are going to be thinking about that when you go to bed.

How can I save my marriage? Which video is going to win? it's going to be this one.

Now it's really important within this ideation process, you want to give yourself about 30 to 45 minutes to do this. This is the key. Do not spend two weeks ideating your video, set a timer, use this framework, get a title that you feel good about and move on.

Which brings us onto stage two, which is planning. Once you have your amazing packaging, it's time to plan. Do not waste time planning out a video in detail before you have the title and the thumbnail.

Because when it comes to nailing down the intro, which is going to be the first thing you do in the planning stage, The packaging does the heavy lifting. What do I mean by that?

This is your packaging, right? This is your thumbnail and title. And this right here is your content.

The intro's job, having an amazing YouTube intro, is as simple as linking the packaging. to the content. So some key things that you'll be doing in the intro of your video is either making or fulfilling on the promise of the title and saying, yes, we will be talking about these things.

It might be explaining the necessary context to be like, well, within your marriage, this is why we're going to save this in this specific way. It might be proving that I can make this bold claim of saving your marriage in seven minutes because I have saved 40 marriages over my career as a sexologist.

And you're going to set up the rest of the video and say, well, therefore, in this video, we're going to be covering these three things. So a lot of people see intros as this sort of magic wand wizardry that we need to somehow come up with that looks a bit like a cigarette, but you get the idea. And instead, it's actually a logical sequence that you can go through between, hey, here's the packaging.

I know what my viewer is now expecting. And let's just bridge the gap between that and the actual points I want to make. When you use this framework, you can start making intros really quickly.

Next, we want to nail your content. So we've nailed down the intro. We've nailed down the packaging.

Now let's get into your plan. So these represent your points. And let's say you're making a big idea video format, right?

Remember that one where we said the big idea is where you have a mindset video, an epiphany video that you want to share. Now within that video, you might just have one point or you might have three points. It doesn't matter.

Within each of those points, you want to do some key things. you want to tie the point you're about to make back to the pain and dream this not only keeps you on track when you're making your video let's say you're making a video even in one take without very many cuts at all if you keep linking your points back to the title promise it's going to be huge for your own sense of not going down rabbit holes and keeping things on point but that's also what re -hooks your viewers again and again so your view retention goes up the next thing is making it new fun And easy so making your information feel new fun and easy by telling stories case studies analogies examples Just making the information feel good easy to understand and the third thing is of course giving the action steps When you give action steps in the video actually do this next here are the things to do That's what makes your video feel super valuable and keeps viewers coming back now If you're in the alexander the create club and you're circulating around my channel, you will probably have heard this Format before which is pull paint

and point. We're pulling our viewers back by linking our point to the pain and the dream. We are painting our point with examples and illustrations, making it fun, new and easy.

And we are actually delivering the point with the action steps.

Now let's go on to a huge turbo tip that is going to reoccur throughout this video, which is visuals take less time in planning and more time in editing. for example i have this plan that i've drawn up before making this video and it didn't take me very long to come up with this plan maybe half an hour maybe 60 minutes i can't actually remember i kind of did it in a flow state and i was having fun drawing it all out if i had made all of these titles and visuals in editing this would have taken me five to ten hours or paying hundreds of dollars to an editor so if you can find a way to have your visuals in your video recorded and baked into your video and maybe that might be sticky notes and showing them to camera even as simple as that to as complex as this it's going to save you tons of time we're on step three already which is record now this is where the speaking first approach comes in and saves you so much time because if you can speak well hold the train of thought and deliver an entire point without a cut oh man you're going to save so much time in recording and editing and it's going to make everything funner

The crazy thing about speaking well, though, is that when you speak well on YouTube, you become magnetic. And what does becoming magnetic do? Well, kind of scientifically, it boosts your attention.

Your attention is going to be way higher if you're a great speaker than if you're not a great speaker, right? That's kind of the purpose, almost, of speaking well and speaking charismatically. So the more that you can become a magnetic speaker, the better it will be for every single process, every single part of your channel.

And it's how you make videos really efficiently. And so what we want to focus on here is cutting down the cuts. So if you can only get three words out at a time, you're going to be dealing with loads of cuts in your video and it's going to take you ages to record.

If we bring that to, actually I can say three sentences without having a cut, things are going to be... Pretty good. You're going to be feeling great.

I can talk in three great sentences and then I have to stop. And then I'm going to say another three great sentences and then I'm going to stop. I might do a retake or two, but that's a workable process.

That's cool. The final thing, though, is if you can go for three minutes without cutting, that's when things become easy. It becomes way easier to make videos.

So speaking first approach, do not sleep on that. And I want to pack this video with value. So I actually left three tips in here.

to help you not sleep on it, which are... First off is having better bullet points, right? Your bullet points in your plan...

are the bridge between your plan and your delivery. If you've scripted everything out word for word, it's going to be very hard to then speak off the cuff around that script because your brain is going to want to say it exactly the same way as you scripted that video. Instead, if you have a bullet point that encapsulates an idea for you that you can then speak off the cuff around, that's when you can start flowing with your speaking.

And looking at this pull paint point structure that we established just now before, where within each point we have our pain and dream, making it fun, easy, and new, and having our action steps. You can simply map out your bullet points when you are speaking with point one, and then you've got pull, paint, point.

And you might have one word for each thing to remind you of what you want to say. Point two is another pull, paint, point, et cetera. When you bullet point your videos in this way, it allows you to speak really well off the cuff without needing any script.

The next tip is to keep pedaling. When you ride a bike and it starts wobbling when you're a kid and it starts wobbling and you don't know what to do, what does your dad or your mom always tell you? Keep pedaling.

That keeps the bike going. It keeps your momentum moving forward. Speaking on camera is the same thing.

If you start wobbling and losing your train of thought, instead of stopping and starting the whole video again, Keep talking and you'll be amazed by how you can regain your train of thought. And that wobble that you had internally doesn't actually show externally.

The second thing, the third thing, sorry, is mind and body. So prepping your mind well and prepping your body well before you record. There's a huge difference in your state and ability to speak.

If on one day you're underslept. slightly hungover and very stressed and another day you've just had a cold shower, been on a run, you're clear about your idea and you're feeling good ready to record. Combine these three things and your speaking will instantly get better.

Now we're on the edit and in the edit you want to do some very basic things which are simply cut together your footage nice and fast, you want to add titles where appropriate and if appropriate and You want to add some sound and color usually. When you add a bit of color grading, it makes your videos pop off a little bit.

And when you boost the audio levels and make them sound nice and compressed, equalized and crispy, it just adds to that viewer experience. Now, the way that you cut down your editing time a lot is again by using our trusty timer. That's supposed to be a stopwatch, not a grenade.

And it's also having your visuals already in your video. For example, I will barely have to edit this video. I'm just going to cut out the mistakes.

And then it's done. I don't have to put any visuals on top of it because I prepped them already with my trusty iPad. Now, finally, we're on the upload stage, which is pretty simple.

You just upload your video to YouTube and put any relevant links in the description. However, there's a really important thing that sort of orbits around the entire three -hour YouTube system, which is kind of outside upload. I mean, upload is its own thing.

You've uploaded. Great. What you do in between videos matters a lot, which is upskilling.

Now, the big mistake that a lot of people make here is they won't actually use their spare time to get better at any of these components. In your spare time, you want to be leveling up your ability to ideate, leveling up your ability to package, your ability to plan, your ability to speak. And when you do that over time, plus consistency, that's when you see results.

Now, let me show you some of the magic inside the three -hour YouTube system. First off... We have six weeks.

You are going to be spending the next six weeks learning and implementing this system through uploading at least six videos to your channel. As I said, we've got the regular lane, which is one a week. We've got fast lane, which is one every day and anything in between.

This is the way that you learn to make videos in three hours, making better videos faster by actually putting this stuff into action rather than just sitting and watching a bunch of lectures. You're going to have the three hour system. implemented into your fingertips into your camera your computer your brain it's going to be implemented and installed fully by the end of those six weeks so you are just pouring rocket fuel on your progress from then on and you're going to have a rock star community growing and supporting with other like -minded coaches entrepreneurs and creators on the inside what this program is designed to do is get you out of the downwards youtube business spiral which is you're spending tons of time on youtube videos that don't perform it's making you very frustrated and also it's causing this sort of nasty procrastination loop where because you're spending loads of time on it and it's really frustrating and you're not getting results you're kind of procrastinating making the next one and it just becomes this downward spiral of doom and instead

It's designed to snap you into the upward spiral, which is when you have better ideas, you're able to make videos that are better quality, you enjoy them more and they make you more sales. So you're in the upward spiral of YouTube momentum because you just want to make more and more videos because it's doing such awesome things for your business and for your life.

The Hook

The bait, then the rug-pull.

Alexander opens with a direct trade: forget chasing a viral breakout, just multiply how often you publish. He says doing exactly that doubled his own sales last month, and everything that follows is the three-hour system he built to make it possible.
