And, most importantly - this video was heavily inspired by @JonDorman - I loved a lot of his takes on how to make a RU-vid video as a whole, and I wanted to dive deeper into intros specifically while emulating the feeling his videos give off 💙 (also Jon if you're still out there come back to RU-vid, we miss you)

This video genuinely helped me. When I first saw this video last week, I was ~2 days away from uploading a video I had spent probably 100+ hours on, more than any other video on my channel. After watching this, I realized my intro was not good at all. The line where you talked about how people know how much work their own videos are, but their audience doesn't, so the intro has to sell them on it, really resonated. At the last moment I brainstormed a new thumbnail/title/intro combo following a lot of what you described in this video, and it turned out to be a 1/10 and have the highest audience retention at the 30 second mark I've ever had. So thank you!

@AprilynneAlter 8 месяцев назад

Oh my gosh this is amazing, thank you so much for sharing! I'm so glad this video was able to have such an impact - intros are so hard to get right, and it's incredible that this video was able to help :) and congrats on your 1/10!! 🎉🎉

@AakashMehta 3 месяца назад

I re-watch this video every time I'm writing a new video script.. here's my hook intro checklist based on this video: 1. Intriguing title and thumbnail to get the click 2. Mirror the thumbnail and repeat the title in the first 5 seconds to tell viewers they're in the right place 3. Create open loops in the viewers mind - (eg: create a 3 step formula or blur something out) 4. Provide context (what is it, why are you doing it, what's at stake) 5. Exceed expectations by using input bias (show the viewers that you've spent a lot of time, money, effort on the video) 6. Make the intro visually appealing for RU-vid auto-play without sound (front load the stimulus) 7. Love the process

This is fantastic advice. For real, I will be going back to this video when I need a reminder. Like, I never really considered the importance of input bias, but it makes SO much sense. And I realize a lot of my best performing videos accidentally conveyed the input bias. Also the way you frame not focusing on thumbnails and titles as kind of "selfish" (to paraphrase) because you're not providing the audience with what they need is an epiphany for me.

This video is amazing overall, no take away from all the hard work you put in here. Just one thing, I wish you didn't take most of your intro from Jon Doman. Edited. Also portion of the description, and some structural elements of the video. You really didn't have to do any of that, you already have the talent to make your own amazing video. Now that I discovered all of this, it just puts into question the rest of your channel's authenticity. How much of your content and knowledge is yours? How much was taken or "inspired" by other creators?

@AprilynneAlter 8 месяцев назад

Yep, took a lot from Jon! I have that in the description, too :) one of the tips that are often given to newer/smaller RU-vidrs is to emulate the style of others, to help you find your own! My goal for this video was to make a Jon Dorman-like video (love his style!) specifically focused on intros. His video about RU-vid videos as a whole was great, and I thought I could add a lot when it came to info about intros themselves! I appreciate the feedback though, and I'll definitely take that into consideration for my next video. Thank you!

@timmyvangtans 8 месяцев назад

@@AprilynneAlter The problem is, everyone in this comment section thinks that you're the original creator. They'd have to read the description to know it's heavily inspired. And when you reply to praises about your intro, you neglect to mention it was inspired. Anyways, just pointing out what's against my own belief as a creator myself. The rest of your video was AMAZING on its own, you really didn't need to take inspiration as much as you did. And since you did, you should give proper recognition to the original creator.

Another great video, I learned a lot. Just watching how you put your shots together is also giving me a lot to think about.

I love watching videos like this that show I'm already doing something mostly right, but give me something extra to add just that much more to my content. It's encouraging and challenging! I'm excited to give these tips a go in my next video.

@GavinKohAquascaping 7 месяцев назад

I watched this for the 2nd time already and really appreciate your clear presentation style. You've explained the core concept better than most videos and established channels out there. Keep it up, would love to see more of this kind of content!

@homestead_diy 7 месяцев назад

This was very interesting and very well put together. I love the idea about making your first few seconds a repeat of the thumbnail and title. Maybe that's old news, but I had never heard it before.

@AprilynneAlter 7 месяцев назад

It blew my mind when I first heard it, too!

@BarnabasLawson 8 месяцев назад

This is an incredible video! Well done. Your lighting, your editing, the quality of information. I’m inspired!!! I will re-watch this as you have assimilated a lot of information and packaged it very well! I was Surprised to see that your only Currently on 1000 subs, I am very confident you will smash through 500,000+ in the near future. This is the quality you are projecting!

@AprilynneAlter 8 месяцев назад

Wow, thank you so, so much for the kind words and encouragement!! Really trying to make the best videos possible. I'm so glad you liked it!

@FiftyPlusTech 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for this April! It was genuinely helpful. I tend to create the title & thumbnail AFTER I edit what I've recorded. Maybe this'll get me to actually use a script of some sort haha - I also watched a video on fusing niches and may try that as well. I'm a nearly 60 yo technologist that loves mech keyboards, 3d printing and all things smart home! Slowly slowly growing.. dont' record/upload enough. This is inspiring and a lot of help! Thanks! I subbed.. you are underrated and I hope to watch your channel grow even more!

@AprilynneAlter 8 месяцев назад

Wow, thank you so much for the kind comment! The T&T is honestly SO important when it comes to a video's performance - one of the reasons this video is doing so well is because a lot of people really like the thumbnail! You got this, and let me know how focusing more on intros goes for you!

@SoyGoncash 7 месяцев назад

I'm rooting for this video to pass 1 million views. Easily my favorite video on constructing RU-vid intros, and I have watched it over a dozen times already. I recently did a deep dive into the information on this video and can't wait to apply it to my own work! I also love the Title and Thumbnail being called the TNT, because they really do have the potential to "blow up" your video!
