He loves sharing the methods which have labored for him to empower you. Today, that’s you, the B2B entrepreneurs, the Marketing Smarts listeners. Let’s get into the good things.
You know me, I’m normally excited. I is perhaps exhilarated right now, to be sincere with you, however we’ll simply keep on with excited. Today we’re speaking a few matter that I really like, video. More particularly, we’re speaking a few channel that I really like, YouTube. More particularly, we’re really speaking about video on YouTube that can be utilized for Shorts, and why B2B entrepreneurs can leverage that for success sooner or later. If that is not sufficient causes to be excited, I’m additionally ecstatically excited as a result of I’ve Austin Armstrong with me.
Now, you are listening to the podcast, however let me set the stage right here. Austin has a YouTube plaque behind him and a e-book, or a plaque, I’m undecided. I believe it is a e-book, How to Be TikTok Famous Fast. Let’s simply speak about micro video, let’s speak about all of the issues that we as B2B entrepreneurs can do. Austin, how on earth are you right now?
Austin Armstrong: I’m doing nice. Thank you a lot for having me on.
George: Absolutely. When I noticed this one in my inbox, I used to be like completely, and I do not say that about the entire issues that present up in my inbox, belief me.
With this present, one of many issues that I love to do is begin with what could possibly be thought-about perhaps just a little little bit of an fascinating query, but it surely does give an fascinating reply, normally humorous, typically miserable, typically scary, to be sincere. What retains you up at night time when you consider YouTube Shorts and B2B entrepreneurs, both a nightmare or a dream? Let us know.
Austin: This is such a superb query. I’ve been deep diving down the AI rabbit gap the final 12 months with all of those instruments popping out. I really launched my very own AI SaaS instrument a pair months in the past. This completely excites me, terrifies me, retains me up at night time. The prospects are limitless. I believe it should drastically change our life, our society, and advertising as we all know it. In reality, I’m attempting to guide the cost on it.
I believe AI will come for digital advertising company homeowners and drastically change how we create content material. My opinion on that’s somewhat than simply sit again and wait for it to occur and see what occurs, I need to be the individual main the cost, so that is what I constructed my instrument round. Everything in AI, with how briskly these instruments are transferring, it is exhilarating, it retains me up at night time. The prospects are limitless and I’m simply excited and nervous to see the place all of it goes.
George: I like limitless prospects. I additionally like the truth that right here within the close to future I’m going to ask you about stated AI instrument as a result of now you’ve the viewers curious and you’ve got me curious.
Here’s the factor. I’m a giant advocate of being cautious of the curse of information. One of the issues that I love to do on the present is level-set. While this would possibly sound like a loopy query, imagine me, I get questions from individuals like what’s B2B, what’s CTA, name to motion, what’s CRM, buyer relationship supervisor, so I’ve discovered while you’re beginning out a dialog and you’ve got hundreds, a whole bunch, even two individuals listening in, no matter it’s, you need to set the sphere.
How would you outline YouTube Shorts for any B2B marketer who has not began to make use of them of their advertising combine but?
Austin: The greatest alternative for quick progress within the historical past of YouTube, quick type vertical video throughout the board. We’ll hold it to YouTube, however quick type vertical video throughout the board has been simply the quickest rising format of content material on each social media platform, not simply on YouTube.
I’ll paint an image right here for you just a little bit, since you talked about this plaque right here. I began my YouTube channel about three-and-a-half years in the past, perhaps nearer to 4 years in the past. I began it after I began my enterprise. It took me three years, pretty constant, to get to five,000 subscribers on YouTube. When I discovered YouTube Shorts, in three days I went from 5,000 to 100,000 subscribers.
This occurred so quick. This is a loopy stat for you. I had the 5,000 subscribers, however I didn’t have the 4,000 hours of watch time, so my channel was not really monetized. Because the time it takes to approve you for monetization versus the time it takes to truly get this plaque, I obtained the plaque for 100,000 subscribers earlier than my channel was monetized, which I discover thoughts blowing, however that is how briskly it may really change your life.
George: Anybody who pays consideration to the YouTube ecosystem is aware of that is not normally the best way it really works, in order that’s tremendous fascinating. I need to peel off just a little piece right here, since you type of teased it. Even although the title says leveraging YouTube Shorts for B2B advertising success, I really feel like a number of the stuff we will speak about could possibly be used for Instagram Reels, could possibly be used for TikTok, may perhaps simply be a micro video dialog, despite the fact that we’re particularly speaking on this dialog about YouTube Shorts.
I need to hold digging in right here. They type of know what it’s, quick progress, micro video, it should have a brief present, it should be nice on cellular gadgets, issues like that. But what are some key parts of YouTube Shorts that B2B entrepreneurs ought to be taking note of? You can break it down the way you need, however my thoughts goes to are there issues in creation, are there issues in publication, are there issues in promotion. What ought to we all know alongside the best way that we’re not simply losing time and we’re getting the success, a minimum of our model of success that we may get by doing this?
Austin: Great query. I’m going to go deep right here for you, so bear with me on this longwinded rant.
At the start, on the core idea of making good content material, whatever the format, is it’s essential to know precisely who you need to attain. Really clearly outline your goal purchaser, your purchaser persona. Know the ins and outs of their emotional wants, needs, needs, the worth prop and distinctive promoting proposition that you simply supply to treatment and attain that particular person individual. What do they care about most? Really clearly define that.
When you’ve that in thoughts, you should have significantly better readability in your content material making selections as a result of you possibly can concentrate on creating content material that resonates with precisely who you need to attain. When you’ve that format down, you’ll drastically minimize via the noise, attain extra of who you need to attain, resonate extra with them, and they’re going to in the end purchase from what you are promoting rather more so.
Now, structuring each content material is basically necessary throughout the board as effectively. Remember that it is by no means about you and at all times in regards to the individual that you’re attempting to achieve. As blunt as that is going to sound, no one offers a shit who you’re or what your background is, so minimize out your intros. We’re speaking quick type content material right here, lower than 60 seconds. Don’t waste 5 to 10 seconds on telling them who you’re and why they need to care. They do not care. I’m sorry, that is not how any of this works.
You should open that video up with a very highly effective scroll-stopping hook that’s going to emotionally set off them across the worth proposition that what you are promoting presents. Hook them in, instantly begin to construct stress and supply worth related to that opening hook, take them alongside the journey, after which have a single name to motion on the finish of that video.
Don’t say, “Smash that subscribe button,” or, “Share this with 10 associates, hit the like button, remark and tag 47 individuals.” The extra choices that you simply give individuals, the much less possible they’re to do something. Some of the one name to actions that I love to do are, “Share this with your self so that you could take motion on it later.” That creates intent, it tells them one clear factor to do, that is a weighted metric on the platform. Or say, “Follow for extra info on this explicit matter,” once more, a subject that they really care about.
So, hook, inform the story, present that worth, inform them what to do subsequent. Have that construction in place.
As far as content material creation and moving into the finesse of titling, optimization, and the entire 9 yards, I shoot and edit every thing on my telephone for free. I do not use Premiere Pro anymore. I used to, and I used to edit on my laptop for years, however these instruments have turn out to be so highly effective that you do not want any of this stuff anymore. In reality, how I create content material is so low key and right down to Earth and simple. The solely tools that I actually have is a $15 ring mild from Amazon. I actually maintain my telephone up on my laptop computer because the prop, or I’ll maintain it in my hand in selfie mode, after which I’ll maintain it as much as my laptop display to indicate stuff. That’s actually so simple as it will get, however I do know who I’m attempting to achieve, I understand how to ship content material, and I do know my name to actions.
There are two nice free apps that I usually swap between, InShot and CapCut. Both of those are phenomenal, fully free modifying instruments. Then I’ll add natively onto YouTube, that vertical video quick.
I do not just like the Shorts editor on YouTube, on my telephone a minimum of; I’m utilizing Android. I believe so as to use the Shorts editor, it needs to be underneath 15 seconds. But when you add a 60-second video, it is going to nonetheless be thought-about a Short. That’s why I edit in CapCut or I’ll put it into TikTok first and add any royalty free background music there, or add any subtitle headlines or something like that as the duvet picture, after which I’ll add that onto YouTube.
Another nice hack that I discovered from 600 failures or classes discovered from YouTube Shorts is to make your titles far more broad. Don’t play that search engine optimisation recreation. What I imply by that’s I actually have uploaded 600 Shorts that did not do an entire lot. Maybe a few them obtained to love 8,000 to 10,000 views whole, drove a few subscribers, however did not actually acquire any traction. That’s a protracted check to determine this is not working and I must attempt one thing new.
What I used to be doing up till that time is I used to be leaning into the search engine optimisation recreation. I used to be going actually lengthy on the titles, looking for lengthy tail key phrase questions or issues that folks have been looking for on YouTube, and labeling that as my content material. I used to be additionally simply dumping something and every thing that I used to be creating. I began as a TikTok-first creator, that is how I discovered and mastered quick type content material, so I used to be simply dumping each single TikTok video that I used to be creating over to YouTube Shorts, spraying and praying, and it did not work.
It took 600 classes to have an epiphany to say I have to be extra considerate of what content material I’m importing and alter the titles as effectively. That’s what I did. Rather than posting every thing, I switched to solely my most viral movies, which occurred to be sharing helpful web sites.
“These 5 web sites really feel unlawful to know” is a sequence that actually labored effectively for me. Rather than titling it 5 helpful web sites for rising your productiveness each day, which could be very particular, I simply titled it Top 5 Most Useful Websites. Super broad. Who is that this for? What are the web sites? Why are they unlawful, they’re simply web sites? It created a lot intrigue between the opening hook of that video and the broad title.
After doing this persistently, for every week straight I solely would add high 5 helpful web sites movies, and it clicked, and one hit, and it unlocked all of these different YouTube Shorts movies on my channel that had the identical content material construction and identical titles. It’s simply fascinating. It unlocked all of those older movies, but it surely got here from YouTube Shorts because the site visitors supply of all of them. So, it kind of unlocked this viewers and YouTube knew who constructed out that lookalike viewers and so they knew who the viewers was that was on this, and so they began sending it out to extra.
What did I do? As I good marketer, I doubled-down, I went all in. I’ve nonetheless continued to do this. I simply add just about solely helpful web site movies. The long run content material technique for that was to construct my SaaS enterprise, so it very a lot has labored for me from an ROI perspective B2B.
Just to wrap up right here, within the final 10 months, I went from 5,000 subscribers to 580,000 subscribers due to these little tweaks and that format. Hopefully, individuals took worth from that rant.
George: Oh, I might say they did. There are so many good nuggets. I might say that’s most likely a rewind level. There’s a lot good in there. One of the issues that got here to my mind was how Austin really needed to take his advertising hat off to be an incredible marketer and never be centered on the search engine optimisation key phrases. He additionally then needed to put it again on and understand I’m spraying and praying, perhaps that is not the perfect, perhaps I ought to begin with technique. So, there’s this comfortable combine of promoting mindset and non-marketing mindset. Again, hit the rewind. There have been a number of instruments listed in there. I simply love that complete story.
When we take into consideration micro video, once more, we’re speaking about YouTube Shorts for B2B entrepreneurs and success, do you assume there is a fable, have you ever heard one thing within the ecosystem of entrepreneurs the place they’re like YouTube Shorts blah, blah, blah? By the best way, I really like the present Myth Busters, I may watch it ceaselessly. Is there a fable that you simply need to take time to only bust proper right here on the Marketing Smarts Podcast round YouTube Shorts?
Austin: What are a number of the unfavourable issues that you simply hear? I’ve heard some rumors that your Shorts content material can negatively affect your lengthy type content material. I simply do not see that to be true. Having a bigger viewers has drastically elevated my backside line views of my lengthy type content material as effectively. I’m actively creating content material.
I’ll say monetization on them is rubbish. I used to be very excited, as have been thousands and thousands of individuals around the globe, that YouTube Shorts advert income share is popping out, it should be akin to lengthy type income sharing. I believe this was the most important disappointment of Shorts. They even put an instance on the market, and I used to be like oh my gosh, I’m going to be making tens of hundreds of {dollars} a month from my YouTube Shorts based mostly on the thousands and thousands of views that I’m getting. Wrong. It was horrible. It’s like three or 4 cents RPM, or three to 4 cents for each thousand views that you simply get. It does not equate to a lot cash, in order that was fairly horrible.
But the views and attain in and of itself is the important thing issue right here when you’re sensible at leveraging it. With an inflow of views and subscribers comes a few alternatives. Driving enterprise via the outline of that video and the feedback part, having a powerful name to motion that hyperlinks to a trackable hyperlink with one thing that you simply’re capable of promote or seize leads, nevertheless you need to use this as a lead era instrument for what you are promoting.
The different factor is the group tab. Once you herald all of those subscribers, guess what they will see? Your group posts. So, leverage that group submit much more. I really did an experiment over the past 28 days on the group tab, posting two to a few instances a day, each single day, worth posts, some lead era hyperlinks, every kind of helpful further worth to the identical content material that I used to be creating.
Over the final 28 days, the impressions are 830,000+ simply from the group tab, and it really drove 200 subscribers. So, your group tab can really drive subscribers in your account as effectively. This is a technique that is not likely talked about that a lot.
It all ties into each other. Use your Shorts progress alternative to drive views to your lengthy type content material. Use the outline and the feedback on these Shorts to drive hyperlink clicks to your lead magnets or to your presents, to your calendar or telephone quantity, the entire 9 yards. Use that group tab as effectively.
Let me ask you, what are a number of the unfavourable rumors that you have heard about Shorts?
George: I believe you hit it. When you began to speak about income, I used to be like, yeah, everyone that has talked about Shorts income has just about stated it is simply not there in any respect. As you have been speaking, I began to consider the actual fact of do not sleep on that group tab, as a result of it referenced again in my mind once we did an interview with Nick Nimmin. Marketing Smarts listeners, if you have not checked out the interview that we did with Nick Nimmin, positively test that out as a result of there are another nuggets.
I wished to ask you, do you’ve any ideas, tips, issues like that, however you have been simply dropping them. You have been simply dropping gold alongside the best way in that final part. I’m nonetheless going to ask you, however I’m going to pivot just a little bit. Earlier, I stated I might get again so far, and the purpose was that you simply talked about an AI instrument. So, I’m going to nonetheless ask if there are any ideas, tips, or templates that B2B entrepreneurs can use when creating and leveraging YouTube Shorts for their B2B advertising success? Also, this can be a nice alternative to perhaps clarify the AI instrument, how that works and the way that helps entrepreneurs really do one thing that proper now would possibly really feel just a little bit troublesome and daunting.
Austin: Absolutely. My instrument is Syllaby.io. We constructed it as a instrument to assist enterprise homeowners and entrepreneurs streamline their video advertising creation course of. I’ve been in social media for 18 years. I’ve been an company proprietor for 4 years. I’ve labored at businesses for the final 8 years.
Quite a lot of the issues that enterprise homeowners and entrepreneurs face is that they know they should create content material—much more particularly, they know they should create video content material—however they do not know what matters or what questions their clients are looking for, they do not know what to say within the movies, they need assistance staying constant and accountable as a result of consistency is an important factor, they do not like being on digicam, and lots of companies simply haven’t got the finances to rent a full service company, or perhaps they are not even on the level the place they will rent an inside workers or advertising staff to deal with all of that.
We took all of these ache factors and constructed Syllaby right into a streamlined course of. What Syllaby does is it reveals you the highest questions that your clients are looking for on-line with lots of information backed up behind that, after which it generates viral video scripts for you for quick type content material for YouTube Shorts, for TikTok, for Instagram Reels, etcetera, or lengthy type YouTube content material as effectively, round particularly the questions your clients are looking for.
We really dropped simply this week AI video creation. It will create a video with a human-realistic avatar that appears and feels like an actual individual, taking that script and studying that script, so you do not even have to be on digicam anymore. We have the content material calendar and consistency tracker so that you could keep in line with all of it.
Circling again to the very starting of this, AI is coming for every thing that I do in a enterprise, and I do know that as a result of I’m constructing the instrument to interchange my company. There are so many hacks with AI that may degree up your productiveness towards creating higher, extra frequent, and constant quick type vertical video content material.
George: I really like this a lot. Marketing Smarts listeners, you may positively need to try Syllaby.io. I really pulled it up in a browser tab as you have been speaking and I’m like I do know what the remainder of my afternoon appears like. We’ll should test that out and see what’s up.
I believe it was final night time or the night time earlier than, I heard this web site talked about by any individual on-line. It may need been you, to be sincere. It was these three web sites paired collectively will change your life via AI, and this was one the place they talked in regards to the scripting. I used to be like oh my gosh, I do know this man, he is well-known. Here’s the factor. It’s not about us, it is about them, so let’s get again to the precise present.
You’re constructing a instrument, and also you’re constructing a instrument since you perceive there have been some historic hurdles. You talked about being on digicam and stuff like that, which I do not get that, by the best way. God gave you that face. Just get in entrance of the digicam and be you. Anyway, however, it’s what it’s. We all have our personal factor. But I really like seeing your face at any time when I get an opportunity to see your face in actual life, so simply present it on digicam extra.
But there are different hurdles, issues that simply make it essentially troublesome, and also you talked about the phrase consistency, which is a key factor when it is any sort of content material creation. What are hurdles that you have seen B2B entrepreneurs face when attempting to get began or use YouTube Shorts inside a company and so they’re shouting the praises of we may have some advertising progress right here, we may get some consciousness? What normally are the obstacles?
Austin: There’s lots of them. It is dependent upon the trade that you simply’re in as effectively. If you are in a closely regulated trade, it is typically onerous to cross a few of these advertising selections. You should cross every thing via your authorized division, or you need to get every thing authorized by HR or your government staff, or something like that.
You should get management on board as effectively. I’ve been in that advertising position at firms the place you’ve these good concepts, and also you’re listening to podcasts like this, you are studying books, you are watching movies, you are going to conferences, and you are like I do know that is going to work, I really like this, after which your boss is like I do not know, paid adverts although. So, it actually is dependent upon your trade. Those are lots of the hurdles that I see.
Even on the smaller enterprise aspect, these issues that I discussed. If you are a solopreneur, when you’re a startup enterprise and it is actually simply you and perhaps one different individual, there is a time dedication there that may be a battle. It’s a tough factor to decide to creating constant content material. Consistency appears totally different to everyone. I’m actually an advocate for day by day content material as a result of it is simply getting so saturated. You have to indicate up and keep high of thoughts continually. You’re going to get higher outcomes when you simply proceed to offer unimaginable free worth each single day, irrespective of the place your target market is at of their journey, as a result of once they’re prepared, you are going to be the primary person who they consider.
You should get within the mindset of there’s going to be rising pains at first, it should be just a little irritating, it should be time-consuming, however like all issues that we do persistently, when you construct that behavior, it will get simpler and simpler. It will get extra rewarding over time as effectively.
George: So good. I really like the concept of constructing that content material muscle after which simply with the ability to be a beast each day. I need to ask you about success, however I’m going to present you a caveat. We heard your story, which by the best way, I might say that is success, you possibly can see this stuff and you’ll tie again to it.
My concern is that a number of the Marketing Smarts listeners might have heard a few of these numbers and been like, “That’s not me. That’s most likely not what we will do. We manufacture these purple widgets that aren’t attractive in any respect. But I nonetheless need to do that, I nonetheless assume it is going to work.” By the best way, you might be the subsequent Flobee or no matter. Anyway, I digress. It does not matter when you assume it is attractive or not.
What does success seem like to mere mortal people who’re going to attempt to leverage what we have talked about right now?
Austin: I’m a mere mortal human. We all are mere mortal people. Success is outlined in a different way for every individual. I had clear success targets in my thoughts. I’ve been a scholar of social media advertising since MyHouse, for the reason that starting. Like I stated, I’ve been doing this for 18 years. I began again after I was 14 years previous and I’ve been doing it ever since. I’ve listened to wonderful podcasts over time, I’ve gone to conferences over time, I’ve idolized and appeared as much as so many of those wonderful digital entrepreneurs and content material creators.
Now, over the past couple of years, I’ve had the privilege of changing into associates with lots of these those that I’ve appeared as much as, sharing the stage with them, hanging out with them outdoors of simply conversations, being on podcasts with them, doing video collaborations with them, and with the ability to simply shoot them a textual content message. Aside from financial success, for me a minimum of, I digress for a second, I believe there’s a little little bit of ego there, after all. Slightly wholesome ego, I believe is okay in enterprise.
That’s success to me, that I’ve turn out to be a peer and I’ve turn out to be acknowledged to the those that I’ve appeared as much as for so lengthy. That was actually necessary to me, and it took a very long time to get so far. Even if I did not make any cash, I believe that will nonetheless be a hit metric to me. We can go into the cash. I’m fairly open e-book, I’m comfortable to share financial outcomes.
But you need to outline what success appears like for you. Set these targets, set these huge formidable targets, and do no matter it takes to work persistently in direction of that irrespective of how a lot time it takes. I’m a agency believer when you simply by no means surrender, you study from these failures, you study from these classes, you are able to do something.
George: I really like a lot about that. We’ve talked about consistency. This final section when you have been speaking, I simply saved listening to pounding in my mind, persistence. But consistency and persistence tied to that I even have these targets, I do know the place I need to get to, I’ve damaged these targets down to 6 months, one 12 months, 5 years. Maybe you blast them out and also you do manner higher than you thought. I preferred that you simply began with we’re all mere mortal people. You can, too. You can obtain this. To me, that was one other factor that I hope individuals rewind and pay attention. You can unlock your personal mindset, your personal perception construction, that you can also do this stuff when you’re leveraging success, centered on targets, with persistence and consistency.
Austin, one of many issues that I love to do to finish the present is I really prefer to get some phrases of knowledge. Trust me, when you’re constructing an AI instrument, a SaaS instrument, you probably have a plaque sitting behind you, when you began on a TikTok journey, you have been on a journey and you’ve got discovered some stuff. You’re now speaking to B2B entrepreneurs. What are some phrases of knowledge that you’d need to give to them as we ship them again to their usually scheduled day?
Austin: I’m going to assign you all some homework so that you could start to take some motion steps alongside the best way. If you do not have a purchaser persona sheet outlined, go on Google, sort in purchaser persona cheat sheet, and you will find one. Print it out, obtain it, no matter it’s essential to do, and fill that out so that you’ve got a very clear define of who you need to attain.
Then define a content material technique. What we’ll usually do is define 4 core classes of content material which can be meant for that purchaser persona. These are often requested questions that you simply get, maybe search engine optimisation key phrase questions that they’re looking for on-line, the worth proposition of the companies that you’ve got, and perhaps probably the most emotional ache factors that your shoppers have. Maybe a fifth class is do some little bit of competitor analysis and description your entire competitor’s high performing movies you could recreate in your personal distinctive manner.
Below every a kind of classes, define 5-10 concepts you could create content material on with that construction. Again, opening hook, present worth, single name to motion. Through this apply, you should have a month or two value of content material concepts. Start to create day by day content material. Do one video each single day. Just decide to it, say that is now a factor that I do. If you’re prepared to alter your life and achieve success, do that. Do a video each single day. You’re going to repurpose that quick type vertical video on YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Facebook Reels. Do it for 30 days straight, and you are going to generate leads for your B2B enterprise.
George: Marketing Smarts listeners, did you’re taking plenty of notes? I’ve to ask, what’s your one factor, your primary execution alternative after this podcast episode? Make positive you attain out and tell us in my inbox or on Twitter utilizing the hashtag #MPB2B.
