  • TH-camr Thomas Frank (with over 1 million subscribers) joins me in the studio today to talk about video production and his workflow for creating high-quality TH-cam videos on a consistent basis.
    As a productivity master, he's nailed down a production workflow that's inspiring and something we can all learn from. We even discuss a lot of tools I had never heard of before, too.
    Learn how to grow your TH-cam channel and create videos like a pro as we discuss topics like:
    -Where do you get ideas for videos to make?
    -How important are keywords?
    -How should you approach your work on TH-cam?
    -How much research should you do on your videos?
    -How consistent should you be on TH-cam?
    -Do you script your videos?
    -How do you add jokes into your videos, and why is that important?
    -How and when do you film a-roll and b-roll for your videos?

    A great video! Thanks for sharing with us the valuable information. Starting a TH-cam channel and growing it, at first it's really difficult, sometimes demotivation comes up, but finding videos like these, gives inspiration and motivation.

    I've followed Thomas since his College Info Geek days -- it's awesome to see how he has built up his brand over the years and pivoted it with his own life and personal development.

    Thomas Frank is an inspiration. I’ve watched his videos freshman year and I didn’t follow them. And I messed up freshman year. Haha But I follow them now. Got straight A’s last quarter. Yeeet!

    Pat, I am a Registered Nurse and discovered your podcast one day last summer before mowing my yard, similar to Shane Sams. It was truly happenstance, because I knew nothing about blogging, affiliate marketing, or online business. Since my first listen, I have gone on to become an avid fan of all your content and binge-listened to both SPI and Ask Pat. But, I am absolutely loving this new TH-cam focus you've adopted since the beginning of the year. It is so cool to see you interview people I subscribe to, like Thomas Frank, Roberto Blake, or Amy Landino. You ask terrific questions. Thanks for these interviews. Keep up the great work!

    Really enjoyed this video! Noticed that Thomas puts a lot of effort in editing and animations. I agree and it happens to be my channels main topic so for those that also want to improve their video editing skills, let me help you with that! :)

    Great video, thanks Pat and Thomas for sharing these insights. Very interesting to hear Thomas’ production process: that sort of insight into what works is hard earned from experience, and highly valuable so thanks to Thomas for sharing.
    The only thing I wish you had asked is more about what would Thomas do differently now, or with the benefit of hindsight. Also since he started doing this seriously 4 years ago, I would guess things have moved on and how he would approach it now, given what he knows and has learned, would be different. A question I have for example, is whether content strategy and keyword research is becoming more important as every TH-cam content space is more competitive.
    Thanks again.

    Great info. Thanks for sharing the interview. (side note: Having a hard time hearing this interview. Don't think it's on my end, because other videos appear louder). Glad to hear he's writing a book regarding something that sparks passion. I think all TH-camrs should write a book and Be Like Pat :) Write on and write on.

      You're over 1000! Thomas and I were both there before, too - keep up the great work! Also, you don't need 1 mil to be successful, right? :)

    Hi,
    What does he mean when he says he doesn't monetize it for the first month? and how does this lead to better conversion rates and is "the right thing to do" ? I'm confused by what he means

    Hello Pat, new sub here as well as your podcast. I heard Jeremy Frandsen talk about you and your success so I thought I’d pop on by. Love it. Guess I’ll start from the beginning of your vids. I need all the help I can get, starting at 9 subs. Thank you. Changing our niches for the better one vid at a time. 🙏

    It's nice to listen to smart people. Call business angel Borodich. He will definitely tell a lot of interesting things. His projects as Universa are simply a gift from heaven.

    If you want to monetize TH-cam and give money back to your donor. Use Euncoin. Serious. It is like having a container full for free t-shirts that you can distribute for free to your Patrons.

    Rule #1, don’t say anything that is associated with the right or your 1st Amendment rights will be violated. Yes YT is a monopoly and a privately owned public utility.
