PRINCIPLES
Real, benefits-focused reason (Value proposition, what's in it for them?
- Time saved
- Money saved
- Convenience
- More access/help
- Better experience
- Dream/goals helped
- Walk through value for audience, show the connection so that their benefit received is greater than their money.
Join your (paid) YT channel membership/Patreon
- Used to be more "support me" type content, isn't as effective
- more access/help
- Additional content, behind-the-scenes
- Give people content that saves time/money
- Teach you how to do what I'm doing
- Longer versions of the same content, bloopers
- Early access to content
Avoid: more of the same
Examples:
- Gaming channel: content you don't share publicly, support channel, fun/funny stuff going on behind the scenes
- Stock Moe example, different type of content
Purchase something from a known site (like Amazon)
- I did the work of testing this for you, finding the best one
- These are my favorites/use these all the time
- convenience of being better at something, you recommend it
Examples:
- Using my link to buy the product supports my channel
- This is the blender I always use
- This is complete list of things to do this project
Purchase something from your site or an unknown site (1 time)
- Reasons to buy from you over amazon (this applies to other lesser-known sites also)
- Build credibility for your site vs other sites
Examples:
- They pay me more than amazon does, and price is most the time the same
- Foreign, or no-name garbage on amazon - use my site/specific site because it's better quality
Purchase something from your site (recurring)
- Similar to channel membership
- Similar to 1 time purchase
- Don't leave people wondering
Examples:
- if you made your own "patreon", why did you do it, and why is it better
- Content with potential of getting demonetized
Do something in-person or realtime (consult, meetup)
- Mentioning it, with benefits for audience
- Outline the first step for audience
- Events: end of video, cut it after sign up deadline
Example:
- Filter/application, pre-call, contract
