WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.000 Okay, for this module, I want to talk about building real engagement. 2 00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:12.000 We're not just trying to get followers and get our view count really high. 3 00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:19.000 The goal is to build a connection with these people that are following you and are engaging with you. 4 00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:26.000 The goal is to connect with them and bring them into what your world is. 5 00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:35.000 If you're wanting them to read your book, to buy your book, to buy anything, you're wanting them to feel connected to you. 6 00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:46.000 Because if you're just posting and you're not engaging and they don't feel like you care about them, they're not going to want to buy anything from you. 7 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:53.000 To start off this module, I want to talk about replying just like a human. 8 00:00:53.000 --> 00:01:02.000 We are in the world of AI currently, and that is everyone can spot it from a mile away. 9 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:06.000 Where it's like, oh, it talks in this certain way. Oh, it responds in this specific way. 10 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:11.000 Oh, it almost sounds too robotic. You know what I mean? 11 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:18.000 We're wanting to, in our call to action, try to get them to engage. 12 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:24.000 If it's comment this, and I will send you over this. 13 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:34.000 If you have a book that you're putting out and you want them to read, you have a preview of your book, and you're just trying to get them to be interested enough to buy your book, 14 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:42.000 comment whatever, comment preview, and I will send you the first chapter of my book. 15 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:47.000 And you're getting them, so whenever they're responding preview, responding to all of their stuff. 16 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:50.000 Got it. It's in your DMs. Got it. Check your DMs. 17 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:58.000 Trying to get them to feel like, oh, they actually took the time to respond to me. 18 00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:06.000 Even if you have other people doing it for you, keeping it like you would be having a conversation with a person that's in front of you. 19 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:13.000 Because the goal is for them to feel connected. The goal is for them to come in closer. 20 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:29.000 And so if you're just responding with like a thumbs up or emoji, it doesn't, that's like, oh, cool, they responded, but it's not like really like, wow, I feel touched that you actually took the time to reply to what I've said. 21 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.000 And I think a good way to do that also is like asking them a follow-up question. 22 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:49.000 Or I've seen a lot of people who have, who the person replies with a really good question, and the creator will actually take the time to reply with two, three sentences. 23 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.000 And the person is like, wow, thank you so much. 24 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:56.000 Or even like, oh, yeah, that's a great question. I'll talk about that in my next video. 25 00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:01.000 And just kind of keeping them pulled in. Like, oh, I'll talk about that soon. Or, oh, I'll do this. 26 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:13.000 And it is connecting with them. And if you can get 10 people that you've really connected with and they actually come into your world, that's going to beat getting 100,000 views. 27 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:19.000 And having none of them interact with you and having none of them engage with what you're trying to build. 28 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:28.000 So the goal is connection. The goal is feeling like they are talking to you. 29 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:42.000 Because what else is the point? Unless you really like just putting, like, if you like creating videos and putting stuff out there and you're not wanting to build a community, but I think our goal is to help you build a community. 30 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:44.000 So, yeah, let's start there.
