The Producer-Consumer Divide
The world is divided into 1% producers and 99% consumers. The speaker urges viewers to become producers, especially in video content, to avoid being mere consumers.
[00:15]
Intelligent Consumption
Consuming content is fine, but it should be done intelligently—analyzing views, comments, first 3 seconds, and titles to understand how a video achieved its results, rather than just watching for dopamine.
[01:37]
Consume to Produce
The most important part of producing content is consuming content. This is especially true for case studies, where you study successful videos to learn from them.

Learn by Consuming
To learn how to produce, you must consume content about editing and platforms. This is not passive consumption but active learning to gain skills.

[00:02] Hey entrepreneurs, what's up? Listen up: make videos or die consuming them! This is a share with you all. It's about saying that the world belongs to those who produce. You already know, especially those in the world belongs to those who produce. You already know, especially those in the
[00:15] most people consume the products of producers, like 1% producers to 99% consumers. This also applies to videos. So the first point here is: there's absolutely no
[00:28] problem with consuming content, being a content consumer. But I think the ideal is to consume content intelligently. It's not about being an eternal consumer;
[00:43] videos for the sake of watching, just to fill your brain with dopamine, like, "Oh, that's cool, watch this video, wow, that's great!" No, you consume content intelligently. It's about consuming content, watching
[00:58] videos, like a content producer. So, I don't know, a video appears, a clip appears, and you go there and what do you do? Do you analyze the views? Do you analyze the comments? Do you analyze the first 3 seconds? Do you analyze
[01:11] if there's a title or headline in this video, in this clip? headline in this video, in this clip? You understand? Watch content already thinking like a producer, like, "How did this guy achieve this result with this video?
[01:23] replicate this video? Can I model this video? Can I take the idea from this video and put it in another niche?" That's consuming problem in consuming, as long as you do it intelligently like a
[01:37] content producer. And if you're here, let's get to the practical part of this specific video because you produce videos, right? Right? So first, you have to consume to produce. The most important part of producing content is
[01:52] consuming content. Yes, it may seem counterintuitive, but it's very important, especially for case studies. You're going to study videos, let's I'm going to watch other people's investigation channels that have, I don't know,
[02:06] that have videos with 1 million, 2 million, 10 million views, and I'm going to learn from them with simple case studies. And guys, you have to learn to produce, okay? I already said here what the first step is, which is
[02:20] Content in a smart way, but now you need to learn how to produce content, and how do you learn to produce content? By consuming. That's right, you're going to consume videos, video editing videos, for example. First, you need to
[02:35] several videos on the internet that you'll have to consume to learn this skill. Because you're consuming, there's no problem in consuming, as long as you know how to consume, you understand? You're not just a cheap consumer,
[02:49] someone who just watches and sits there with their mouth open. No, you're an intelligent, effective consumer who uses everything you consume, all your time. Because it is time, guys, you're watching an hour of videos on YouTube, what are you doing
[03:02] with that hour? Watching content that enriches you, that gives you knowledge that you can put into practice, or are you just wasting time? There's no problem in wasting time either. You can, I don't know, watch a series and
[03:14] problem. But we're talking about content production here, so ideas from videos, which is by watching. The second thing is learning to edit. How do you learn to edit? By consuming content from people editing. Simple, another
[03:29] you need to learn is about the platforms. Okay, which platform am I going to YouTube, it's going to be Shortcuts, it's going to be Quai, it's going to be Qu, it's going to be Facebook too. You're going to here. I have several videos that talk about the platforms, right? Another thing,
[03:43] internet that talk about metrics, they aren't that effective, right? But they are information that you can
[03:55] acquire by consuming content on the internet, you understand? And after you learn to a little more about the platforms, learn a little more about practice. Let's go to the practice here on the channel, which is you creating a little channel.
[04:08] you to create a Cord channel because it's very simple, it's very easy, you don't Universal Cord training that teaches you how to edit, how to mine, how to do everything the right way so you can monetize your account quickly. And you know what's
[04:22] really learn because all this content you've consumed, like this video, you're consuming the theory, but the content about editing, the content about platforms, you
[04:34] 'll only really learn it through practice. It's that simple. You can't just watch a bunch of videos and that's it, no, that doesn't exist. So you're going to create a little channel, you're going to put all this teaching into practice on your little
[04:46] channel, and that's how you'll start learning. And you'll stop being a cheap consumer and become a producer who will start making money with the time of the people who are consuming the content. Okay,
[05:00] and the easiest and smartest way to start, in my opinion, for someone who has nothing and is just starting to understand for editing, like making podcast edits. It doesn't have to be just podcasts, but
[05:13] 're more familiar with them, but they are the best moments for editing. It's very 'll learn a lot of things, as I've already said here, that you, you don't,
[05:25] as I can say, the rooms are non- original. So you won't need to appear on camera, it's much simpler, the audience already exists. Let's suppose I do editing. From Pablo Marçal's perspective, it's much easier to get views because you already have an
[05:38] audience, you already have consumers of that type of content, so you don't need to have an audience that watches, you're going to produce content for that audience, for that niche, simple as that. So with that, you
[05:52] What would happen with faster results? If you post results, you'll have more metrics to analyze, you'll when people left that video, and you'll know what moment wasn't
[06:06] good in the video. So, having a channel that makes clips, posting clips from much faster to go viral. Going viral gives you more information to analyze, consequently you'll learn much
[06:19] faster, and that's why I advise you to join the university of clips, because there you start with everything you need to know. You can really go into practice on various other channels, learn about editing,
[06:32] about platforms, about metrics, about how to make clips, about mining, you information. But it's all spread across planet Earth, which is called the internet, and the fastest way for you to really learn how to create
[06:46] University of Video Clips, and the first link is right here in the description. Okay, I hope you understood my vision of how you stop being a standard consumer and become a producer. It 's really "create videos
[07:00] or die trying," you understand? Like, die trying or die being a consumer understood my vision in this video. There will be two videos here for you to learn a little more about the platforms, and I'll see you there. Bye!
