I broke out in laughter when he said "I block 2 hours a day off for writing...and sometimes I don't write anything, I just think 😂" soo good to know we're not the only ones struggling with that
It sounds like a joke but isn't when some writers say that sitting there thinking is part of the writing process!
I’ve paid for UA-cam classes and books and watched plenty of Film Booth but something tonight just clicked watching this.
Not sure why it’s taken so long
We’ve got to take the boring necessary idea and transforming into something interesting, entertaining every single time
yeah its like... his meta explaining his explanations help me better understand his explanations.
Unfortunately mostly we prioritize entertainment (feeling good) over value. Go to trick them like Ed says
That's exactly what he doesn't do.
It’s called “A carrot covered in chocolate”. I learned about it not so long ago.
I felt the same when he said "package it as what they want, and give them what they need". He said it elsewhere, and it was hammered home today. Really feeling confident after watching Ed's recent stuff.
Ed's exceptionally good at what he does - learned a lot
Yeah i’ve gone down the rabbit hole and feel like a REAL amateur
100%. I took Ed's Edutainer's course and I'm still learning. He understands YT out many levels deeper than me.
@@CreatorScienceYTwell I've subscribed to you both as a result so thanks.
Well, it's all fun and games until you want to find the video he did about a topic but can't remember the thumbnail or title that went with it and can't search for it 😂 But yes, I know I enjoy his videos and they are valuable so I watch them all as soon as I see them, definitely great at getting returning viewers!
He is, one of the top scammers a liars on UA-cam, but great at self marketing and selling hot air
Two best points from this; you need to be able to make something boring into something interesting & and that building a community of valued followers is way more important that getting heaps of views.
Right, but I'm still confused as to whether we should be aiming for high views, in order to get more leads into our businesses. He seems quite ambiguous on that point. I think aiming to get new people in by creating a video with broader appeal, if not every video then some videos, is a good way to tell the algorithm to pay more attention to you and find more of your ideal viewer. But, hey, Ed is great.
Ed is a legend. I implemented some of his ideas in one of my latest videos and the feedback I have received from my regular viewers has been super-positive.
Which video and what you implemented?
Film Booth is my favorite UA-cam training channel. I've watched most of his videos. But this is by far my favorite - he really explains what I've experienced when watching his videos. It finally sunk in. This was awesome! It's like a complete roadmap. THANKS!
One of the best UA-cam guide videos of 2023
That means a lot!
YES! Anytime I randomly search for video ideas, this dude always comes up. He has such great advice!
LOVE the detail. You swapped 70/20 to 45/45 as he reconsidered, even though he said 50/50, because of course you gotta film something, and dang what a long sentence, but it was so satisfying.
Watching this after having done my first real video and thinking "this could have been a lot better". This interview opened a whole new world to me about storytelling. Thanks Jay for being such a good interviewer.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Real gems in here. Feel like I just went through an intro into Ed’s main course. So good.
9/10 interviewers are trash at their job. gj fam. imagine letting the person you invite on talk lmao so few actually do that, but you still keep the conversation focused and consistent. 10/10
Good stuff. Storytelling is a crucial aspect of creating engaging and successful videos on UA-cam. Being able to deliver a good story can help you connect with your audience on an emotional level and keep them hooked till the end.
Ed's a genius. I happily watched his videos WAY before I thought about starting a channel just because he's so entertaining. I was (and am still) far more interested in his editing because it's brilliant.
It's interesting how much I learned here about his process HERE after watching so many videos about the process.
I am a grandma, I tell stories weekly to encourage n uplift people, I have received encouraging feedback. I feel though like it's the same people coming back weekly, how do I get new people to watch? Blessings ❤
Guys you absolutely smashed this ep! So much value shared by Ed.
Appreciate you probing further into the nuance Jay.
Love the callout about being a business.
Everyone benefits from viewing themselves as a business, whether a content creator, or simply working an hourly job.
Thanks Katie! Watched till the end, enjoying the vlogs with the bits of wisdom! Keep going your content inspires me :)
This is a phenomenal episode. Many thanks to you both. 🙌
Thanks for this! This was super interesting. I really love your interview style and questioning. So much value!
Another amazing guest and interview thanks
Incredibly helpful and clear conversation -- thanks to you both for sharing!
Great interview Jay! Ed has nailed the UA-cam game, I remember him first appearing on my UA-cam Home Screen and he’s grown and evolved so much. You’re both a huge inspiration for me personally and the journey I’m about to embark on (finally stopped procrastinating 😅)
Thanks for making these videos Jay, this is incredible helpful and inspiring!
Excellent interview! So many great take aways from this!
This video is pure gold! I learned so much, thank you!
Amazing interview! Thank you 🙏
Another great interview, Jay! Ed and the Film Booth channel is one I always watch and refer people to. There have been videos that he has drawn me in until the end and I'm like "What? That's the end??!" He's a great UA-cam, storyteller and visual creator. Thanks for sharing this highly valuable conversation with us!
I’ve got to come back to this video often. It was surprisingly educational. I could wrap up of years of knowledge I’ve been learning on UA-cam.
Really great video Jay, super awesome breakdown and it was insanely helpful to be able to understand actually looks like for a UA-camr doing this full-time
Great questions!!! You literally asked him the stuff that I was wondering the most!
And especially props on digging deep on Ed's process and the time spent!
wow this one is just jam packed with great insights from Ed; excellent interview and questions as well Jay!
Great interview Jay, questions were in point! And Ed was super informative.. 🎉
This was a fantastic video. I've been a fan of Ed for a while now, he delivers information in such a powerful way. You did a great job with this interview.
The amount of value in this video is incredible!!!
Love this episode! It is loaded with so many awesome tips! THANK YOU!!
Eye-opening conversation. Ed’s expertise and Jay asking the right questions gave us a ton of valuable info.
I got SOOO much from this video, kept my pen & highlighters moving non-stop watching this one! So excited to utilize what I've learned here on this 1 particular "idea" that's been brewing in my head for months & needs to be made into a video for my niche / community. Thanks a ton to you both!
Absolute treasure!! Loved every minute of this!! It was invaluable to learn about so many nuances in detail. Extremely GRATEFUL, thank you Jay & Ed❤️❤️
This was exceptional and I can't wait to start his cohort in a few days time. So much to learn!!
Hey Jay, been a follower of Ed for awhile and watched this because of him. Checked out your other content. Great collaboration. I am looking forward to going and watching the rest of your content.
Fantastic video. Loved the questions & responses. Very interesting and informative!
I'm a big fan of Ed's and now I'm a fan of you. You did a great job interviewing him and pulling great tidbits out. I keep watching Ed tell me I'm boring but don't want to take the time to make my videos more fun. The time is now. New Sub.
last 2 episodes are so on point. thanks for sharing Jay, completely changed my perspective
Didn’t know about you or Film Booth before this popped up on my feed. You did something right with the thumbnail and title because it got me to watch and I ended up following both of you. Very solid interview. Thanks!
i wish this video was like 2 hrs lol. so helpful. great work Jay!
You made that thumbnail just for me?.....Wow....I'm flattered.
Thank you! I'm definitely a boring person, now I know what I can work on to cure this issue to be more engaging with my viewers.
Good interview and content, many thanks 🎉
Learned a ton - thanks Ed and Jay :D
Great interview. It's amazing how many of these insights could easily apply to strategies for any social content platform. Thanks for sharing!
I love Ed, he's someone that has reflected a loooot about youtube, great questions really, same as with Paddy Galloway, gret job man, keep up! 💪💪
I like your channel Jay, and I love having Film Booth in on your videos!
I love Ed's videos, he's so good at what he does.
Thanks for breaking down Ed's thinking. I watch and enjoy his videos, but your interview made it clear to me: in my content, I merely provide lists and need to inject interest and stories. Thanks, Jay!
this interview was epic. watching again.
Putting your ego a side and staying humble haha, this is one for the best videos I have seen out there explaining how to retain peoples attention physiologically to your videos and explains how they think. This video give a lot of knowledgeable information and i thank you for sharing this. I will take this on board for my future videos and have already watched the video 20 times and took a lot of notes on each of the topics you have explained. Thanks for the video keep up the good work :)
Great interview 👍. Your questions got to the core of Ed's approach. I needed a lift after the shock of Nate-gate.
I make tutorials so it's an interesting challenge how to incorporate stories - Ed's soup story showed me how a story hijacks the viewer's brain better even than the momentary effect of a question.
such a good and informative video. Thanks for this interview
Great interview! His teaching style, ideas, and concepts are so unique. I don't think my channel would be here today without Ed's knowledge. I do exactly what he aims for with his channel, I binge his content
Glad to hear that😊
Ed is one of my favorites! The guy is so smart
THANK YOUU for this. i always use to feel bad for telling stories especially my personal storeis in fear of making it "too much bout me" !
So many people get worked up about clickbait. As long as the video is worth my time, I don’t care what you titled it.
Wow very cool vid. Love how so honest you both are. This is 101 marketing....making something very boring sound sooo exciting !!
Ed is very creative with some cool ideas. I’m also enjoying your interviewing of content creators.
these interviews are packed with knowledge. great work!
Glad you like them!
Jay these videos/interviews are gold! Everything a creator REALLY wants to know. Great work!
Glad you like them!
One of the very best vids on this topic ever! Thank you
Yup, Ed is right, I have always binge watched atleast 3 videos back to back whenever I start watching his videos..I realized it now how effective that is..thanks bro n cheers🍻
I enjoyed this interview. Ed is awesome
Thank you for this. I definitely need to apply more storytelling even on my tech UA-cam channel 😊
Challenging but possible 💪
Very nice rhythm and I love the break ad, tv pro!
Man, Ed can come up with a great intro - something I would aspire to - just as a rough example. 👏
Very much valuable episode...thanks for this..as a beginner I enjoy my channel journey hopefully after 2-3 years from now it will grow..love lot's
Outstanding video! Thank you
Fantastic Episode !
I’ve learned so much from guys like Ed , still learning..
Great video Jay!! Lots of great advice in there! Awesome channel!
thanks for checking us out!
I love Jay and Ed. Ed is so great in teaching
Wow! 😮 🎉 What an awesome video! Very captivating! I took alot of screenshots of the bullet points. I need to subscribe on both you and Ed Lawrence. ❤❤❤
Ed is the best youtube educator ever him and think media are just perfection
Amazing video. Thanks for sharing. Great info
I'm a big fan of Film Booth. Very good content, thank you so much!
Ed gives metaphors about using metaphors. Love it.
😅😂
Ed is one of my favorite educators. This interview has me sold on him for life what a genuinely nice guy. I really love his other channel creator booth too.
Also im now a Jay Clouse fan haha. This was my second video that popped up for me and I watched the whole thing. Subbed and belled looking forward to your next video! Finzar might be a fun interview I'd throw into the hat if you're taking suggestions.
Thanks for your kind words, means a lot
Thank you.... This is VERY valuable information.
Great conversation and ideas!
Can't wait to watch this!!!
You guys are life savers!
Great interview Jay, I've been a fan of Ed's for a long time now!
He’s great! Thanks for watching, Chad!
I have just add a playlist "best for inspiration" to fit this such powerfull podcast.
Thak you guys so much for such a great content.
I've been binging Ed's stuff for so long, I don't even remember when I first found him. And, when he said "mine are!" with such confidence (to the comment about assuming the viewers are smart), my heart soared a little. 🤣
Thank you so much for this interview! Your questions were insightful and really got me thinking, and Ed, it was great seeing your behind the scenes process - to see that you have to work through the same types of challenges really made me feel like less of a freak. ;) Sometimes I just assume that everyone else has got it all figured out, and it's encouraging to hear that I'm not alone & that even though it may never really go away, I will get better the more that I learn and practice.
so glad you enjoyed it!
4th time watching this, adding notes to my script template. Ed is the goat
Great interview with Ed. Everything Ed says is absolutely spot on. I discovered him a few months ago and am using his teaching to transform my flagging channel. Watch and learn from this and you won't go wrong...
I ACTUALLY, got out of bed this morning and watched this whilst making the coffee, because I am boring and have to learn how to present!
This was a really good video I didn’t know I needed to watch
you are so inspiring...I've been 3 weeks and I'm trying to share my journey of paying off $124k of debt in just 16 months back in 2020 and I have remained focused towards retirement goal and increased rental property my lifestyle financially and became a minimalist... 71 subscribers and 52 video..mostly shorts, but I really just can't figure this thing out because I want to share that journey to hope others could use to help them
I have watched many videos from various channels on these topics, and from this video I got some of the best nuggets, thank you..I have some changes to my process to make
Such a great interview on storytelling and how to make interesting videos and NOT boring ones! LOL!
Rock solid episode. Great reframing
