On this episode of The Amazing Seller, you’ll hear from Scott and Sean as they explain why building credibility is so important. According to the guys, one of the best ways to build credibility is by sharing aspects of your personal life.

Hear practical examples of this strategy by listening to Scott and Sean on this helpful episode!

Lead with storytelling!

Think back to the last time you were bored out of your mind by a public speaker, chances are they failed to share a compelling story! If you have any hope of launching and sustaining a successful YouTube channel, you’ve got to work on telling good stories.

Practical tips for creating great videos.

Let’s get down to it, what are some helpful tips that sellers like you can use to create great videos for your YouTube channel? Here is a glimpse at a few methods you can use from Sean;

• The average time you should shoot for is between 7 and 16 minutes. Sean says that it’s important to keep your videos as long as they need to be but try to keep them as short as possible.
• The first 10 seconds of your video is critical. Make sure you lead with a hook! Tell your audience what you will deliver and tease it out.
• Use YouTube tools to drive your audience to the next video they need to see. Create bingeable content that serves your audience.
