Here are 3 quick tips from @JayClouse, founder of Creator Science: 1. Focus on packaging When it comes to YouTube, packaging is everything. Your video's title and thumbnail are crucial for attracting viewers. Design your content to be: • Compelling • Clickable • Curiosity-inducing 2. Create tension and curiosity Engaging your audience is key. How do you do that? By creating tension and curiosity in your videos. This is more effective than relying solely on social proof like views and subscribers. Remember... Curiosity + Emotion (desire or fear) = Successful content 3. Tailor content for the platform Success on YouTube comes from crafting content that fits the platform's demands. This might involve: • Heavy editing • Dynamic visuals • Frequent visual changes If creating YouTube-specific content isn't your goal? Then posting on the platform may not be necessary. Focus on platforms that align with your content strategy. Want to learn more about building a successful personal brand? Apply to join the new private community at Castmagic IO Uploading Community.

Here's a post based on the context and strategies covered in the recording, matching the tone, style, and format of the example: There's 1 powerful strategy you can use to skyrocket your YouTube growth: (Creators like MrBeast and David Dobrik have mastered this) It's called "Packaging Your Videos for Maximum Engagement". • MrBeast's thumbnail game is 🔥 • David Dobrik's titles are intriguing AF • Their content lives up to the hype When you nail your video's packaging, it acts as a magnet for viewers who can't resist clicking. This creates a snowball effect because YouTube rewards high click-through rates with more impressions. Does it require extra effort? 100%. But if your videos blend in with the rest? Then you're leaving views, subscribers, and $$$ on the table. The last thing you want is to be scrolling past-able (AKA forgettable) to everyone. So, how can you apply the "Packaging for Maximum Engagement" strategy to your YouTube videos? Step 1) Craft curiosity-inducing titles • Blend curiosity with emotions like desire or fear • Use numbers, questions, and power words • Think: "Would I click on this?" (ChatGPT can help generate ideas) For example: • How I Made $12,500 From a Single YouTube Video • The 3 Biggest Mistakes New Creators Make (Are You Guilty?) • This One Trick Helped Me Gain 1,000 Subscribers in 24 Hours Step 2) Design click-worthy thumbnails • Use bold, contrasting colors to stand out • Include text overlays that tease the video's topic • Convey emotion through facial expressions or visuals Step 3) Deliver on your promises • Ensure your content lives up to the title and thumbnail • Provide value through entertainment, education, or inspiration • Leave viewers satisfied yet wanting more In a sea of mediocre content, packaging your videos to be irresistible is a superpower. Ready to level up your YouTube game? Drop a "🚀" in the comments and I'll share my top 3 tools for creating killer titles and thumbnails. Let's crush this creator thing together. 💪

"Insights into Content Creation: Creator Science Provides Advanced Creator Education Through Its Newsletter, Podcast Membership And YouTube Channel. On Today's Episode, We're Going to Be Breaking Down Secrets Behind Successful YouTube Packaging, How to Hook Your Audience, and How to Build a YouTube Channel that Grows Your Business. We'll also Be Chatting About Podcasting, Pre-Production Packaging and Formatting for a Successful Podcast, and Remote Podcasting."

Jay Clouse 00:01:37 00:01:54

"Remote Podcasting & Creativity in Business: We're doing a remote podcast, but we're making it work. So we'll, we'll cover some tips on, you know, how to make a remote setup work and then, you know, we'll also talk about growing your own community and business through your creative channels like podcast, podcasts and YouTubing, all that sort of stuff."

Jay Clouse 00:09:25 00:09:36

"Understanding the Evolution of Content Creation: I feel like, you know, years ago you could just kind of create whatever you wanted and you know, there were eyeballs on it and it wasn't as important. Whereas now it's like, if I'm going to go through the effort of having the guest on, telling the whole story, doing it, it needs to be packaged right, it needs to make sense for the audience."

Jay Clouse 00:17:23 00:17:38

"Understanding Social Proof in Digital Platforms: And I think you make a great point about the different elements of social proof on the different platforms. Like if we're talking about a post on X or Threads or something where maybe someone hasn't seen it, then integrating social proof into the first bit of content may be a different experience. And the social proof you have on YouTube where you see the views, you see the channel, all that sort of stuff."

Jay Clouse 00:23:02 00:23:11

"Value of Curiosity in Communication: Yeah, I think that's such a good point. And it's a tricky balance, right, because you want to ask the right questions, but you can end up with these really weird sort of sounding interviews where it's like, he said something so good. Why didn't you press down there? I wanted to learn more as a listener and even you. And like, this goes back to your point about general curiosity and having curiosity for the space that you're in. If you're genuinely curious, that's probably the best way to run an interview because then you're going to be like, I want to know this because I want to know it not because I have to stick to a specific scripting doc."

Jay Clouse 00:24:53 00:25:04

"Effective Communication Strategies: It's almost like you're saying you can basically take yourself to like the level of the viewer, because the viewer is approaching the conversation with very little context. You're not kind of saying, I know way more than you and I'm going to have this conversation at this level. You're saying, no, like you're at the same level of me and we're discovering this together. So I think that's a really cool way to, to think about it."

Jay Clouse 00:25:50 00:26:27

"The Role of Podcasts in Consumer Education: Yeah, I think it's super interesting. Something that we see a lot, right? Like especially the podcast that I run in the direct to consumer space. A lot of it is like approaching it. I can't ask these people, hey, like prepare an entire, you know, playbook guest lecture on this particular topic. That's not going to be fun for the audience. That's not going to be fun for the, the expert to like have to put together a bunch of slides and information. So part of your job in this interview role is to be able to tease that out naturally where someone can listen to that conversation, feel like they've gotten and absorbed all the information they would get in the lecture, but, you know, get it in a much more approachable format."

Jay Clouse 00:30:26 00:31:00

"Post-Production in Content Creation: If you take a remote podcasts like we're doing now and you just put it on YouTube, that's not a really compelling video. I don't really want to just post it because if I put it up there, it's not packaged for, you know, YouTube and it's not packaged to perform. So how do you think about, you know, that side of the equation? If people are having interviews like this, do you think they should a just put it up on YouTube or do you think there should be a real strong focus in the post production part like you were saying to maybe even chop it down, maybe take that, you know, hour-long interview and condense it into like a 10 minute, you know, video with different sort of visual elements that's really tailored."

Jay Clouse 00:32:16 00:32:25

"Converting Passion into Profit: Just because you have something doesn't mean it's going to make a great YouTube video. Now that you've got all this going on, how have you turned your content into your business? What does your business look like? How do you generate income? What do you do with that? How do you run things?"

Jay Clouse 00:34:44 00:35:03

"Future Content Planning: As you think about the next year, like you said it yourself, you know, the content landscape, it changes so quickly. There's always things going on. But are there any initiatives that you're looking at over the next year that you want to bring into your kind of content ecosystem, whether it's on the business side of things, on the content side of things."

Idea #1: Effective Podcast Interview Techniques Employ interview techniques that facilitate organic conversations and mimic the audience's discovery process: 1. Ask Questions You Know the Answers To: By asking questions you already know the answers to, you provide context for the listeners and allow the guest to explain concepts in their own words, making the content more accessible. 2. Actively Listen and Follow Up: Engage in active listening during the interview, allowing for spontaneous and relevant follow-up questions. Over-preparing can lead to missed opportunities for deeper insights and more engaging conversations. 3. Align Your Curiosity with the Audience: Approach interviews with genuine curiosity, asking questions that you believe the audience would also be interested in. This helps create a more organic listening experience, as if the host and listeners are discovering the information together.

Struggling to package your podcast content for YouTube? Discover the secrets to crafting irresistible YouTube videos that skyrocket your views! 🚀 As the founder of Creator Science with over 100,000 YouTube subscribers, I've cracked the code on successful content packaging. Want to know the key ingredient missing from your YouTube strategy? Here are the 3 essential elements for captivating YouTube packaging: 1. Compelling Titles and Thumbnails 📸 Your video's title and thumbnail are the ultimate gatekeepers to your content. Spend ample time brainstorming titles that blend curiosity, desire, or even a hint of fear. Pair them with eye-catching thumbnails featuring recognizable faces or intriguing visuals. Remember, if your packaging doesn't entice clicks, even the best content will go unseen. 2. Engaging Hooks and Tension 🎣 Forget relying solely on social proof—focus on crafting intros that ignite curiosity and create tension. Tease the video's central question or conflict early on, making viewers eager to stick around for the payoff. Peppering your videos with these curiosity-driven hooks will keep audiences glued to the screen. 3. Thoughtful Editing and Visuals 🎬 To maintain engagement, your videos need more than just talking heads. Invest time in post-production, frequently changing visual frames, adding graphics, b-roll, or text overlays when appropriate. These elements not only retain viewer interest but also reinforce key points, aiding understanding and retention. Remember, if you're not intentionally crafting content for YouTube's demands, you might want to reconsider posting there altogether. Ready to take your YouTube game to the next level?

While having a structured plan is important, leave room for active listening and organic conversation. Ask questions you genuinely want to know the answers to, putting yourself in the listener's shoes. 💡 View your content as an evolving journey rather than a rigid formula. Continuously engage with your audience, adapt to the changing landscape, and allow your curiosity to guide you. Fresh insights and authentic creation will naturally follow.

Future State, 6 reasons post

In 12 months, I generated over 100,000 YouTube subscribers, grew my podcast audience by 200%, and launched a successful membership program. As a content creator, I've discovered the power of packaging content effectively. But many creators are missing out on a HUGE opportunity. Here are 6 strategies that, if applied, can unlock massive growth and engagement for your content: BACKGROUND: Forget SEO (Search Engine Optimization) or PPC (Pay-Per-Click), the future belongs to CPO (Content Packaging Optimization). Content packaging is where attention is captured and long-term audience relationships are built. If creators pay attention, they can transform their content into a powerful engine that not only attracts viewers but also engages, retains, and converts them into loyal fans. Old Content Strategy: - Inconsistent branding - Broad, unfocused topics - Minimal editing and visuals - Reliance on organic discovery New Content Strategy: - Strong, cohesive packaging - Niche, targeted subject matter - Dynamic editing and graphics - Proactive audience attraction At Creator Science, we are generating consistent audience growth and engagement, without relying on paid promotion or complex strategies - all while building a recognizable brand. It's hard to replicate this success with traditional content approaches. HOWEVER... We are putting in significant effort to refine our packaging and content systems. Content creators should consider implementing a few key strategies and turning their content into a full-fledged growth machine to deliver on CPO. Here are my 6 recommendations: 1. Develop a strong, consistent visual brand across all content platforms. Use this branding when designing thumbnails, graphics, and titles to improve recognition and click-through rates. 2. Identify your niche and create content that deeply resonates with that target audience. Use this focus to drive highly relevant content creation. 3. Incorporate dynamic editing techniques, such as jump cuts, B-roll, and text overlays, to maintain viewer attention and enhance information retention. 4. Craft compelling, curiosity-driven titles and thumbnails that blend emotion and specificity. Consider leveraging social proof when appropriate. 5. Actively engage with your audience through comments, community posts, and cross-platform promotion to foster a sense of connection and loyalty. 6. Continuously analyze your content's performance, identifying top-performing topics, formats, and packaging elements to iterate and optimize your strategy. I believe that mastering the art and science of content packaging is the key to unlocking sustainable growth and building a thriving creator career. As traditional content strategies become oversaturated and the world shifts towards niche communities and authentic voices, creators have the opportunity to stand out and make a meaningful impact by prioritizing CPO. P.S. What content packaging strategies have you found effective? Do you think content creators should focus more on packaging optimization to drive growth and engagement?

The Rule, The Process, Keys to Success
✨ Preset prompt

1 / 1

Jay Clouse's approach to content creation showcases the 80/20 rule in action. When it comes to creating content, Jay spends 80% of his time and effort on the parts he enjoys most - interviewing guests, exploring ideas, and letting his curiosity guide the conversation. This is where he shines and feels most energized. The remaining 20% is dedicated to the less glamorous but equally important aspects of content creation - editing, packaging, and promotion. While not as exciting, Jay recognizes that these elements are crucial for the success of his content. Editing is where the magic happens. Jay meticulously goes through each episode, trimming the fat, rearranging segments, and ensuring the final product is concise and engaging. It's a time-consuming process, but it's what separates good content from great content. Packaging is another key element. Jay understands that titles, thumbnails, and descriptions play a huge role in attracting viewers and listeners. He carefully crafts these elements to pique curiosity and convey the value of each piece of content. Finally, promotion is where Jay's content reaches its audience. He leverages his email list, social media, and other channels to get his content in front of the right people. It's not just about creating great content, but also ensuring it gets seen and heard. Jay's success can be attributed to his focus on serving his specific audience. Rather than trying to please everyone, he hones in on the needs and interests of his target audience and creates content that resonates with them. By doing so, he's able to build a loyal following and establish himself as a trusted authority in his niche. The lesson here is to focus on what you're good at and what you enjoy, but don't neglect the less glamorous aspects of the process. Embrace the 80/20 rule, serve your specific audience, and watch your content soar.

Framework To Build From Scratch

Here's a tweet that follows the tone, style, and format of the example you provided: If I had to rebuild my successful podcast from 0, here's the content strategy I'd focus on: (This is the exact approach I've used to help numerous creators grow their shows). To turn listeners into loyal fans (and fans into customers), you need 3 things: • You need people to discover your podcast • You need people to enjoy your episodes • You need people to trust your expertise So... How do you get people to discover, enjoy, and trust your podcast? By using my PET Framework. It's broken down like this... The "P" stands for Packaging. This is how you present your episodes to attract listeners and stand out. Focus on creating: • Compelling titles • Eye-catching thumbnails • Concise descriptions Tapping into curiosity and emotion is key. For example: A business podcast can: • Interview a well-known entrepreneur • Discuss a controversial industry topic • Share a surprising success story The "E" stands for Engagement. This keeps listeners hooked and coming back for more. Incorporate elements like: • Storytelling • Active listening • Thought-provoking questions The biggest mistake podcasters make is not putting themselves in the listener's shoes. (Always prioritize the audience experience). And finally, the "T" stands for Trust-building. Trust-building establishes your credibility and fosters long-term loyalty. This is achieved through: • Demonstrating expertise • Sharing personal insights • Providing valuable takeaways Don't be afraid to showcase your unique perspective. That's how you build a dedicated community. Start implementing these 3 aspects into your podcast strategy and I guarantee you'll gain more listeners and grow your show.

3 Success Strategies
✨ Preset prompt

1 / 5

Here are 3 strategies for success based on the wisdom shared by Jay Clouse in his insightful interview: 1. Master the Art of Irresistible Packaging In the attention economy, your content is only as valuable as its ability to captivate and intrigue your target audience. Clickable titles and thumbnails are the gateway to your ideas—and without a compelling reason to click, even the most transformative insights will go undiscovered. The secret to irresistible packaging lies in blending curiosity with emotional triggers like fear, desire, or excitement. Don't be afraid to make bold claims, use specific numbers, or leverage the social proof of influential figures in your space. For YouTube in particular, put yourself in the shoes of your ideal viewer and imagine what would make them stop scrolling and take notice. Experiment with different title formulas and thumbnail designs until you find the winning combination that skyrockets your click-through rates. Remember, mastering the art of packaging is an ongoing process—but one that pays dividends in increased visibility, engagement, and ultimately, business growth. Make it a priority to continually split test and refine your titles and thumbnails across all platforms. 2. Embrace the Power of Active Listening The key to conducting interviews that resonate lies not in showcasing your own expertise, but in creating space for your guest to shine. As a podcast host, your role is to be the curious guide, leading your audience on a journey of discovery. That means letting go of the need to prove your knowledge and instead focusing on asking the questions that will draw out your guest's most valuable insights. Approach each conversation with a beginner's mind, ready to actively listen and follow the threads that pique your genuine curiosity. Don't be afraid to ask the "obvious" questions that your listeners are likely wondering—often, it's these simple queries that unlock the most profound and relatable responses. By staying fully present and engaged, you'll naturally create an atmosphere of authenticity and vulnerability that invites your guest to share their stories and expertise in a way that truly resonates with your audience. Remember, the best interviews feel like a conversation between friends, with the host and guest learning and growing together in real-time. Embrace that spirit of active listening, and watch your content come alive with the kind of raw, unfiltered insights that keep listeners coming back for more. 3. Craft a Multi-Platform Content Ecosystem In the creator economy, true success comes from meeting your audience where they are with the right message at the right time. That means building out a diverse content ecosystem that leverages the unique strengths of each platform to guide your ideal customer through the buyer's journey. Top-of-funnel platforms like social media and YouTube are prime real estate for attracting new leads with educational, keyword-optimized content that showcases your expertise. As you build trust and credibility, you can then use long-form mediums like podcasts and email to nurture those relationships and prime your audience for a buying decision. The key is to approach content creation with intention, designing each piece to serve a clear purpose at a specific stage of the funnel. Every Instagram post, YouTube video, and email should be part of a cohesive ecosystem that guides your audience closer to your paid offers. To maximize the ROI of your content efforts, create systems that automatically promote your products and services to new leads—whether that's an email nurture sequence, retargeting ads, or a combination of both. By taking a holistic, multi-platform approach to content creation, you'll be well on your way to building a thriving, sustainable creator business that impacts and engages your audience at every touchpoint. Focus on crafting a seamless journey from discovery to purchase, and watch your influence—and income—soar.

BULLET POINTS OF KEY TOPICS Effective Interview Approach [15:30] Jay Clouse shares his interview strategy, which involves asking questions he already knows the answers to, allowing the guest to provide context for listeners. This approach facilitates a conversation where the host and listener discover information together, turning podcast guests into guest lecturers without extensive preparation. Packaging and Pre-Production for Remote Podcasts [25:00] Jay emphasizes the importance of planning episodes ahead of time to ensure alignment with the intended package. He believes in doing intensive pre-production work to make remote interviews more engaging, suggesting the use of multiple camera shots and visual aids like graphics. Post-Production Strategies for YouTube [35:15] To create a visually interesting product on platforms like YouTube, Jay stresses the necessity of editing, using elements such as graphics, B-roll, and text overlays to enhance understanding and retention. He notes the importance of frequently changing the visual frame to maintain viewer interest. Content Strategies for Discovery and Relationship Building [45:00] Jay discusses using content on platforms like social media and YouTube for discovery and reaching new audiences, while leveraging email and podcasts to deepen relationships and build trust. He emphasizes creating systems that automate the promotion of paid products, converting new leads who enter through various platforms. Evolving Membership Programs with In-Person Experiences [55:30] As his membership program, "The Lab," has been primarily online, Jay plans to introduce more in-person experiences to enhance its value. He is considering organizing purpose-built, multi-day events and possibly larger events globally in the future. Hook and Tension in Content [1:05:00] Jay Clouse emphasizes the importance of creating curiosity and tension in videos to engage viewers, suggesting it's more effective than relying solely on social proof. He discusses insights from Jake Thomas about successful content titles, which often blend curiosity with another emotion like desire or fear. Balancing Scripting and Spontaneity in Interviews [1:15:30] Clouse advocates for a balance between structured preparation and active listening during interviews. While preparing questions is meant to prime the interviewer's mind, over-preparation could lead to missing opportunities for spontaneous and relevant follow-ups. Genuine curiosity leads to better interviews, mimicking the audience's listening experience and making the conversation feel more organic.
