Talking heads are capping your views at 5,000
If your videos are stuck under five thousand views, I promise you it's because you're only posting talking head videos. You sit in front of a camera, stare into the lens, and deliver a monologue about your industry. You do this every single week. And every single week, the result is the same.
Look, talking head videos aren't bad. They still work. But the problem is everyone's doing them, and the algorithm has seen a million of them already. The videos that actually break through and hit sixty, seventy, a hundred thousand views are using creative formats. Blind rankings where you react to a list without knowing what's coming. Tier lists where you rate things in your industry. Reaction videos where you watch something and give your expert take. Pointing videos that take literally seconds to record.
Here's the part that surprises people. These creative formats are often faster to record than a traditional talking head. A pointing video takes thirty seconds. A blind ranking takes two minutes. But they're visually interesting, they spark curiosity, and they stop the scroll in a way that another person sitting in front of a bookshelf simply can't.
Stop doing what everyone else is doing. Change the format, and I promise you the result changes too.
