@bonusfootage Five more tips for yapping on camera: (comment “sprint” to get on the waitlist for my 15 Day Yap sprint challenge) 1. don’t just study big creators, but look for people with less than 10K and study their outlier videos 2. create a folder of your favorite yap videos and study their first three seconds and text hooks 3. ask whether or not your video passes the "I believe" test, someone can watch your video and know exactly what you believe. 4. change the language in the videos that watch so you can disregard the actual words that they're saying and focus just on the tonality, delivery, and cadence. 5. Disregard advice that doesn't make sense for you. The goal is for you to take action and if anything slows you down, forget about it. The goal is volume so you can see the data and you can get patterns. #contentcreator

Five ways to get better at yapping on camera. Start mid thought. No one needs the better. Make people feel seen or help people see. If you're awkward with your hands, hold something like a drink. If you're just starting, use worst of three. Okay. Let's do five more. Casual on camera, but calculated in the message. Use your human mind for ideas, but AI to organize. Look at your script and ask worse, so what? If the answer is obviously, you don't have a point. You can script, outline, or go off the top. Find what works for you. And another five. The hook is equal parts dialed copy, equal parts energy. If the hook is holding you up, you're overthinking. Volume is more important because volume gives you data and then with data you can see better. Your text hook should complement the first line but not be exact. Most of my favorite videos are my least performing. F it five more. Create your own algorithm in your head that makes content sustainable. Raw dog writing daily. It makes you a better thinker and you have sharper points, sustainable. Raw dog writing daily. It makes you a better thinker and you have sharper points. Sharper points equal better yap. Texts and DMs are good mines for ideas. The best takes have tension. Someone should be able to say, nah. I disagree. Another five. And I used to think long yaps didn't work and then I tested it and I proved myself Give yourself freedom to experiment. After you record, cut the hook and see if it still works. After you record, cut the last line and see if it still works. You can always take the information you took out and put it in the description. Five more. After you record your best take, do a safety take. It usually hits because there's less pressure. And if you don't have an idea for a video today, look at yourself five years ago and what are three things you wanna tell that worse? You wanna start yapping and you never have? Tell your audience it's a challenge and that gives you an excuse. And of course, I put five more in the description.
