What ANY YOUTUBER can learn from MrBeast

[00:01] beast's other channel beast reacts and in this video i'm going to show you how main channel to get millions of views on this way simpler style of content you that stuck out like a sore thumb is that even though the beast reacts videos are

[00:16] just two guys in a room chatting he still manages to make his topics just as and he does this by finding visually interesting unusual and exciting things to make the topic of his video and then he just simply features that interesting

[00:29] unusual or exciting thing in the thumbnail i mean look at that who could you should always be on the lookout for incredible stories in your niche that are out of the ordinary because when you find one it's potentially accompanied by

[00:41] a ready-made highly clickable thumbnail too and being out of the ordinary is a notice kind of surprised me jimmy doesn't actually mention in his titles expression on his face kind of hints to it and that makes sense to me because

[00:55] thing about your content is to your viewers and then make it stick out to them really fast and in this case mentioning their reaction videos will actually get in the way also every title on this channel is short and sweet and

[01:08] it just simply says what the amazing content inside is which works so much better than a title like this which of course is the same system he uses on his main channel now of course getting a click is one thing but once you have a

[01:20] watching as long as you can now mister beast once said you don't need an intro that's what your title is for but keeping an intro short is very tough and how short is short to try and give you more accurate answers i studied the 20

[01:33] video intros and this is what i found on average his videos show a clip relevant to the title in the first 4.95 seconds in other words he shows the viewers what they came to watch really fast there's no introduction to who he is there's no

[01:46] content in many cases he doesn't even say that it'll be reacting it just gets straight into the interesting information that made you want to click these are the most expensive items in the world ever this thing right here

[01:59] notice there were three videos on my spreadsheet where he had longer intros video where he sets up how the concept play a game in it so even though his videos tend to start very fast sometimes

[02:14] you still can't avoid a short setup what's crazy is without those three the intros were on average 3.1 seconds long and many were just one so i think you should try this when you make your next video keep your intro under two

[02:27] sentences ideally just one and then just get going now the next part of the something any creator can take advantage of but before we move on to that i need editing in the first 20 seconds they were on average

[02:41] 14.75 cuts actually i tried to count every text cut and effect that he used so what does that teach you well actually it teaches you not to edit like content for years and he knows this style works for his viewers but if yours

[02:57] are older than his say in their 50s it's too fast the older generations prefer a trying to teach someone complex maths well that's not going to work either so editing is about creating a style and pace that works for your viewers but but

[03:12] but we can still learn a lot from the way he keeps people's attention even if your own pace is a lot slower which moved me on to analyzing the very smart way he uses text look at this you're reading this text aren't you and that's

[03:24] because it's very hard not to and when you listen watch and read it makes your that's great for your attention and even the way his text enters the screen is interesting look it suddenly pops on it's not static like this it has energy

[03:37] subtitles throughout your whole video what you tend to find on mr beast reacts is at the start of his videos there's a lot of text used and it's very high of text slows down a little and he then uses it sparingly to emphasize certain

[03:53] points exactly the same as his main channel the next part of his formula i found was effects but not mind-blowing high-budget effects a lot of the time they're just backing up what's being said for example jimmy says we're gonna

[04:05] be reacting to super humans in real life and look all he's done is added a few images like this and then just put them into your editing timeline and use a simple transition to bring them in and out of shot so they have that movement

[04:17] does it here when he says this guy that has superhuman string and again when he on to the most important part of mr mrbeast's formula there's a few other and the first one comes with a cautionary note for newer creators and

[04:33] that's movement quick zoom effects and transitions where things fly in and out about and it tracks the movement of their faces which gives it a lot of energy but for many small or new creators this is going to be something

[04:45] require a lot more skill to pull off it's actually very easy to misuse content and then the second thing and this is really important is that they cut out so much content this is a reacts channel and you nearly never see an

[05:01] entire video they react to in full it's just the highlight of a clip then their reaction and that's what's crazy even though these videos they react to are funny and amazing they still can't risk a moment where the content gets dull so

[05:13] they have to cut them down so when editing you need to constantly ask yourself is this getting boring or if i deleted this scene here would it still more even when they only use a few seconds of the content they're reacting

[05:26] to they still add jump cuts to that and simple effects because although using footage on top of your videos makes it all more interesting it can still get boring so little animations and subtle explosions are a fast way to level up

[05:39] have the powerful part of the formula jimmy brings over from his main channel and it's one that if you use it in your own videos you will always hold people's attention longer and that's storytelling so one type of content they make is a

[05:52] reaction video but it's dressed up in a videos always start by setting up the challenge and then mr beast gives the challenge some stakes to create tension and anticipation and pretty much

[06:05] everything you've ever watched on tv or film has stakes the avengers the planet was at stake toy story getting left behind was at stake and look at the videos on mr beast's other channel every video has stakes especially his new one

[06:18] where the world is at stake if we don't clear up the oceans which is why you seamless so not only do you enjoy the content they react to and the way they react to it but you want to see how much money they make or worse how much money

[06:31] they lose it's multi-layered layer one interesting content layer two their reactions layer three a challenge layer four stakes and you can bring that over to regular content too just as he does on his reacts channel now before i go on

[06:44] of this that you might be thinking there's one last part of the formula which is crucial for even the simplest videos and that's personality personality is the reason pewdiepie can get 100 million subscribers sitting in a

[06:57] chair and why videos of two guys in a room can get so many views it's the engine of beast's youtube formula because without it nothing else would be as effective and that might mean the odd hint of silliness or showing your more

[07:09] youtube is not the place to be shy the more you can openly be yourself the better because it's what humans bond with and that alone can grow a channel but i couldn't really ignore the elephant in the room

[07:25] still get a million views and often that's what makes people say well of beast it won't work for me but actually community that watch everything he makes is because of the effort he's put into

[07:39] his content over the years and the time he took to establish what works for his viewers no matter what mr beast does he gives it his all and he focuses on making everything incredibly interesting from the second you see the thumbnail to

[07:51] youtube is about he could have easily made a reaction video and said that'll do but that will do just won't do on this platform so to become the next mr beast or just get better ask yourself every time you make a video how can i

[08:05] last and then this video here will help you take more steps towards doing that by following in the footsteps of another incredible youtuber that you shouldn't ignore [Music]
