Meet Jenny Hoyos, a young YouTuber who has figured out the secret recipe for viral success! She gets an average of 10 million views per video, that's like everyone in New York City watching her videos! π€― Want to know how she does it? Let's dive into her awesome tips and tricks! Turning Ordinary into Extraordinary β¨ Jenny believes that any topic, even something as boring as watching paint dry, can be super interesting if you tell a good story and add a little twist. It's like adding sprinkles and a cherry on top of your ice cream! π¦ She also makes sure her viewers feel connected to her by sharing personal stories. For example, she made a video about cooking for strangers to raise money to fix her broken kitchen. It's funny because she had to cook to fix the place where she cooks! π What Makes a Great Short? π€ There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but Jenny has some ideas: Strong Hook: The first image is like the cover of a book, it needs to be eye-catching and make you want to know more. Jenny even draws pictures of her hooks like thumbnails! πΌοΈ Keep it Simple: Imagine explaining your video to a younger sibling. If they understand it, you're on the right track! Jenny uses special tools to make sure her writing is easy to read. Rewatch Value: A great Short is like your favorite song, you want to watch it again and again! This happens when the story is engaging and has surprises. π Jenny's Secret Weapon: Data π Jenny doesn't just guess what works, she uses data to understand what people like. She studied thousands of successful Shorts, like those by MrBeast and Ryan Trahan, to see what makes them so popular. This helps her make her videos even better! One thing she learned is that keeping people watching is super important. She found that even cutting out one second can make a big difference! She also discovered that 34 seconds is the perfect length for her videos. Remember, the best length for your videos might be different depending on what you're making. Building a Viral Video ποΈ Jenny follows a special recipe for her Shorts: Hook: Grab attention with a cool first image. Foreshadowing: Give a little hint about what's going to happen next. Smooth Transition: Move from the hook and foreshadowing to the main story without losing the viewer's interest. But & Therefore Storytelling: Add twists and turns to keep the story exciting. Payoff and Ending: Deliver on the expectations you set and end the video with a bang! π₯ From Idea to Action π‘π¬ Jenny has a huge collection of ideas, like a treasure chest overflowing with possibilities! π She gets inspiration from her life, things she sees, and even AI π€. Once she picks an idea, she asks herself two questions: "Do I want to make this?" and "Will it go viral?" If the answer to both is yes, she starts working on the hook, the last line, and a rough plan for the video. Then it's time to film and edit! Know Your Audience π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ Jenny makes videos with her younger self and her nieces in mind. This helps her focus and make sure her content resonates with her target audience π― Different Platforms, Different Strategies πΊοΈ YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels are all unique, so Jenny adjusts her approach for each platform. YouTube likes longer videos with good stories, TikTok prefers short and fast-paced content, and Instagram benefits from strong visuals and subtitles.
