Don't be too hard on faceless videos. They provide an enormous amount of information without a personality getting into the way. They are great for education.
Sandy I gotta pushback a little, cause I pretty sure Wes didn’t even say the phrase “faceless videos” let alone be hard on them. I have seen quality FL channels, but sadly many get overshadowed by the disingenuous creators using clips of others without giving credit . No shade just a tiny insight I realized reading your comment. 🙏🙏🤙✌️
The thing I've been hearing recently about having long & short form content is that, the short form might attract alot more audience than the long form. But the people who you attracted are the type to consume short form content, not long form. Therefore YT will show your long videos to them, but they won't watch it at all. Jump ship after the first few seconds. & then YT stops pushing your content cuz they think it's shit
I am so glad I did the effort to type in "2024" when looking for SEO and marketing advice 😅 Great tipps, thank you so much, never thought about using AI to support with that...what a time to be alive (born in 1986).
Amazing insights on leveraging AI for digital marketing! I've been integrating AI tools like boost app social for my content and podcasting strategies, and it's incredibly efficient. These 2024 trends are spot on. Thanks for sharing!
I agree, but when I look at AI generated search results I usually check the source they provide too, so that’s something to consider. Wondering if others do that too.
Loving the sneak-peek into 2024's digital marketing wizardry! 🎩 Your insights are pure gold for any small biz looking to crush it online. Can't wait to see more!
Thank you Wes. I’ve followed your videos since I started my own consulting biz six years ago. I did my first interview the other day and it has been well received !so now I’m focusing on expanding my video content. I love UA-cam and I often just listen rather than watch a video so their podcast makes sense
I don’t think there is anyone else who makes marketing as digestible as you do - as it should be, in small chunks, for folks in other professions which have nothing to do with social media or marketing - what a way to win on YT 😉 THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤❤❤ 👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌
DAMNIT WES! YOU ARE A GENIUS!!! WOW! I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO IMPRESSED THE FIRST TIME I SAW SOMEONE!! GOD BLESS YOU! TYSM! I signed up for munch and put that idea into Chat GPT and I'm working on all my stuff as you are saying this! I subscribed and will watch this again!! and more of your content! TYSM!! Praying for you and your family and your health and prosperity! YOU ARE WORTH IT!
Really appreciate your video. I’m jumping back into digital marketing after a few years and it’s like a whole new world. Thanks for getting me caught up and saving time and frustration .
@@WesMcDowellInc Pretty good my friend. I have a local designer working on it. His exact words to me were “I’ve never had anyone have this much incredible Content so well organized.” Your course is a godsend! I’ll be in touch soon and look forward to seeing your next video.
hey just wanted to say i am going to making content this year and came across your video and just tested some of these pointers you gave and let me tell you...thank yooooou lol
Online Marketing has rapidly evolved recently, driven by technological advancements and a deeper understanding of consumer behavior. We aspire for digital tools to be utilized for the benefit of society.
These are effective strategies to propel businesses forward. Notably, podcast promotion stands out, especially with Google Podcasts merging with UA-cam by mid-2024. This convergence suggests that leveraging UA-cam for promotion, whether through video content or podcasts, will offer long-term benefits.
We use A.I. regularly to help our clients gain followers and create great content for them. There's no ignoring it, and small businesses would do well to get on board because it will save them loads of time!
You’re not wrong, the only problem is I need to be an influencer first then sell tshirts, but in reality I just want to sell t shirts and not be an influencer. In all honesty this whole new form of marketing is turning to be totally bad… there are industries with such limited amount of content that you can create in order to gain followers, not yo mention the time you need to dedicate to it
I think it's beyond valuable to learn an open source image editor and an open source video editor. I use gimp and davinci. It puts me in total control.
Is there any issues with creating a channel with mainly repurposed videos ? Aside from giving the credit to the creators? I have thought about this for beauty care tips.
@WesMcDowellInc good point, my idea behind it was to mix affiliate marketing within certain posts to highlight a product and hopefully get some sales. So use their content but try and sell my links, not sure how ethical or effective that would be. Thanks for replying
Hey Wes, I have a question regarding Facebook ads for long customer journeys / high-ticket products and services. My client has a 25% no-show rate on average, but we're seeing a 50% no-show rate from my leads. I've been running ads getting people in for a free consultation and giving them $1000 off the procedure if they decide to follow through, so the offer isn't the problem. What would you do to attempt to solve the no-show issue?
I think you need to ask a qualifying question or 2 in the lead form to figure out who's serious and who isn't. You'll get fewer opti-ns, but the ones you do get should be more qualified. NExt, you can send out a "what to expect on our call" video to get the prospect slightly more invested in showing up.
Think of YT podcasts as longform talking head videos, usualy between multiple people. Its essentially a podcast that's just being filmed too. AS opposed to a webinar that has slides, etc.
Where have you been Wes lol podcasts are old news and been on UA-cam for many many years. Joe rogan started and UA-cam. Great stategy.. 5 years ago. Unless I've missed something here.
I HATE your face, but l ❤ your content. I solved the problem after making that statement. I’m just going to listen with my eyes closed from now on. THANKS LIKE 5 ⭐️
10:40 Sad face, my wife...She loves those myster stories with Ai generated images and voice over...like theres subgenres of this stuff and people watch it....#Highkey wanna learn for the Infinite money life hack.
Podcasts are all well and good, but you need to be, or have a team that are charismatic enough to carry it. The company NEXT (UK high-street retailer) recently did this in the UK and their guests got destroyed in the comments to a point where they had to turn the comments off.
They can work very well if the quiz topic is the right one. It needs to be relevant, not just a "what's your ____ personality type?" If you're stuck on a good topic, ChatGPT can be a great brainstorming partner.
For what I should move people to email marketing? I do not read any email that comes from there for example. Everything to me is spam. For me email marketing is dead. Everything on this video was ok until you conclude this! Come on. Tell why exactly why I should end up with email marketing?

DAMN YOU ROCK! TYSM WES!! CHECKIN IT RN!!!
I appreciate the time you took to edit this video and bring great informative and colorful content.
This channel is THE MOST informative channel on marketing, by far. 👍👍👍
Don't be too hard on faceless videos. They provide an enormous amount of information without a personality getting into the way. They are great for education.
Sure but giving information isn’t the same as marketing. You have to build a connection which can be done faceless but it’s much harder.
I don’t think he’s being hard on them, just being honest about it being better with a human.
You are correct
I'm with Wes on this. Faceless lost its appeal to me very quickly. I need the personality.
Sandy I gotta pushback a little, cause I pretty sure Wes didn’t even say the phrase “faceless videos” let alone be hard on them.

This information was fantastic! It sold me that's for sure.
You give out straight gems!!! 💰

which software are you editing your videos? I've been following you for several years and I always amazed
Thanks! I have editors, not sure which program they use, but I suspect the software has a lot less to do with it than their skill level.
What camera did you use for creating this content?

what do u use it for
Watching UA-cam videos of others
@@memos106 I build websites and create content. For copywriting. Building websites. Creating content.
Davinci is not open source. There’s a free version, but that’s not the same.
@@kooistradurk I am only using the free version and it's done everything I need
Wow that was such a good video. Took the words right out of my mouth!
How do you get so to pick the clips?
thank you
Is there any issues with creating a channel with mainly repurposed videos ? Aside from giving the credit to the creators? I have thought about this for beauty care tips.
Well you wouldnt get any marketing value out of it. Channels like that are really more set up for YT ad revenue which is gonna be minimal.
@WesMcDowellInc good point, my idea behind it was to mix affiliate marketing within certain posts to highlight a product and hopefully get some sales. So use their content but try and sell my links, not sure how ethical or effective that would be. Thanks for replying
Fantastic content as always. I have severe ADHD and a visual processor, so the in your videos make such a difference for me, thank you!
Wow - I am so happy I could help 😊👏
I feel like i just graduated from college with that video
Glad you learned a lot 🙌 😆

My client has a 25% no-show rate on average, but we're seeing a 50% no-show rate from my leads.

NExt, you can send out a "what to expect on our call" video to get the prospect slightly more invested in showing up.
What's the name of that app that cuts a long video into multiple short videos?
I've heard that Opus Clip is probably the best one
What is your opinion on facebook ads. Is it still worth it?
How are these YT video podcasts different from other videos / webinars, etc.?
I think YT shorts are easier to access and more in demand.
Think of YT podcasts as longform talking head videos, usualy between multiple people. Its essentially a podcast that's just being filmed too. AS opposed to a webinar that has slides, etc.
