Here's how to get your videos past these view ceilings. A thousand views, 10,000 views, 100K, and a million. By the way, I have 2 million followers, and I've gotten a million views on a video over a hundred different times. So I have the full formula. The first view ceiling is a thousand. If your videos are stuck below a thousand views, you wanna focus on hook clarity and alignment.
Your main issue is that your first one to two sentences are so unclear, nobody has any idea what the video is gonna be about. So you wanna make sure you have the four S's of hook writing dialed in. Subject, it's clear what the video's about. Stakes, there's a clear reason
why the viewer should keep watching. Simple, all the words are third grade language and easy to understand, and super clear. All the sentences are short, punchy, and easy to follow. If you do all four of those in the hook, you will break through 1,000 views. Next up is 10,000 views.
If your videos are stuck below 10,000 views, you wanna focus on topic selection. Your issue here usually is that the framing of the topic, especially in the hook, is not tied to an outcome the viewer cares about, or you don't get to it soon enough. Simply put, you're just making noise that isn't grabbing them because they don't care.
To solve for this, you need to figure out what topics the viewer cares about and then connect them to a pain point they have or desire they want. Ideally you also can align the visuals well with what you saying in the first few sentences If you do those things you will break through the 10 view ceiling Next up is 100 views If your videos are stuck below 100 views you want to focus on the explosivity of your
angle. To get more than 100,000 views, you need a super non-obvious take that is broadly relatable. And to be clear, you can build a seven-figure-a-year business without ever going over 100,000 views. But if you want to break through the ceiling, you need whatever your take is to connect to wide swath of the viewers. Idea explosivity, that's what you're going for.
Last is the coveted 1 million views ceiling. If your videos are stuck below 1 million views, you want to focus on controversy. There are only two ways to get more than a million views on a video. Either you pick a super broad topic that at least 100 million people are interested in. Sports, dating, music, culture. Or you
say something in a narrow topic that creates insane controversy that drives discussion in the comments. The controversy-fueled rage pit in the comments is the engagement you need to push it into the million views. Now I built social channels designed to get millions of views and I built this channel, which was designed for leads and sales without getting millions of views.
I've done both comment ceilings and I'll send you my exact strategy for this channel, how I engineered tons of leads and sales, 40,000 emails and a hundred thousand collected in the first three months without ever going viral.
