The Newbie's Guide to Get Followers FAST

[@UncommonProfessor]

This is the first guy I have ever viewed that actually has content that works! Peace!

[@philhsc]

Same, and I’ve done two of his courses, both amazing.

[@alejandrazacci]

Pat is amazing!!! And his All-Access Pass in Smart Passive Income is top of the world!

[@KellyEllis-j8b]

Taking the leap next weekend and recording my first 3 episodes...I REALLY appreciate your content. It's been critical to my game planning. 🙌

[@augustdunnihoo]

Yo! I just recorded my first two and it was a blast!

[@luciddreamsmedia8]

Pat, that off the cuff stuff is brilliant. I appreciate all you content on SPI but I love that you give your best thing, YOU away for free.

[@PukhalaPuka]

This is gold. Its actually not a guide to gain followers. Its even better. A guide on how to build a community.

[@NateSchoemer]

Hi Pat, I really love your work, and I only discovered you recently, which is surprising, I know, since I've been on KZbin for six years now. So much of what you talk about resonates with me, and I am planning on how I can incorporate your many lessons into my channel and my community. My channel focuses on dog training, and I wanted to know if you have a dog, and if you do, what you would like to see on a dog training KZbin channel. Thank you! :)

[@patflynn]

Yo thanks so much! I do have two dogs, mini Australian labradoodles, and if you had something about how they can stop acting crazy every time the door opens, that would be awesome lol. One of them almost looks like he defends his position by barking at the other when the door opens or someone comes in. 🤷‍♂️

[@NateSchoemer]

@@patflynn That's a great suggestion and a common issue many people face! Thank you. Once I make it, I'll be sure to send it your way! 🙏😁

[@enochleffingwell6624]

Pat I have been consuming your content since I was 12 years old. I will be 29 this week June 6th. I want to thank you for all the value you have consistently been providing us over the years. You have definitely inspired me to be an entrepreneur. Thank you for your content!

[@MessengerFunnels]

WOW! I feel old, cause I started consuming his stuff in 2008.

[@enochleffingwell6624]

​@@MessengerFunnels So that means we started consuming Pat's content around the same year. That's pretty cool. With age comes experience and wisdom. I respect those who have lived more life than I have. There's always something new to learn. Thank you for sharing your insights on chatbots with the marketplace.

[@MichaelsFavoriteThings]

I am loving the stroll through your home mixed with all this great content!!

[@Pablo_Trader]

Just discovered this KZbin channel. This is good stuff. Been a fan of Pat’s for years.

[@beysshowcase]

Awesome video with great advice pal! Thank you for all you do to help us out as fellow content creators! Card Party 2 hype!!!!

[@miwagardner1353]

Pat! Hello! We use the same mic, but did you use the black magic cam for the recording of this?

[@MyTeaConnection]

San Diego born and raised, Pat is a hometown hero! I'm pumping out 2 videos a day for 6 weeks now hoping to grow fast. Thanks for everything, love Superfans.❤

[@jackiemaurer2595]

Thanks so much for the great advice! I watched you on Think Media and immediately looked you up. I am about to launch my own channel and I’m having the hardest time thinking of a name for it. That’s the only thing keeping me from launching. I’m known for being funny and liking weird things and trying them out. My mom used to say that I “marched to the beat of my own drum.” The videos I’ve made are about creative no build camper van set ups that have a theme. I had no idea that other women my age are out there in the world living in their car or van and traveling all over the place BY CHOICE! There are many women who are doing the same, but they had no choice. Then there are the women who do this part time for fun. I stumbled upon this whole thing by accident and I can’t believe there is such a huge community of middle aged and senior women traveling all by themselves.

[@CordlessVacuumGuide]

How do you create a story about something mundane like a vacuum cleaner?

[@EranKious]

Document the journey of trying to sell your first 100 vacuums online

[@AndreSjoberg]

Depends on how «far» you are willing to go ;) - tie in history bits and facts into the videos about vacuums in general - dig deep into companies making the vacuums: are they just buying and modifying existing products from oem manufacturers and rebranding them, or are they doing proper R&D for themselves? - Look at «off brand» vacuums (cheap china made products) vs big brand, is there a difference, do they use some of the same motors/technology/principles? - is there a price point at which things go from «generic technology» (ie branded oem-like products) to proper «in company» developed products with unique features? - stories around manufacturers ability to stand by their products, follow up on customer issues, any «major fails» in the vacuuming industry - looking at how the vacuuming industry/products have changed how we live our lives (from the traveling salesmen selling to housewives to vacuums being «a bragging point» for some people. - high price vs high value products, «luxury» vacuums, difference in branding between brands stories can be so many different things, but not every video *has* to be a story, but a story can be as simple as the story from ordering to assembly to using it over time and experiences from that to something complex involving a brands history, failures and successes - if told in an engaging manner a story can be almost *anything* :)

[@MaruHieta]

Storyteling is the highest value skill any influencer or creator can learn. As AI shoots out information in seconds, we need to become masters of stories.

[@Pokemon_mentalhealth]

Amazing!!! Such good tips!!!! I love how everyone has their niche within the hobby❤️❤️❤️

[@ProfePlaysMinecraft]

How can I find time to build a business? I have a full time job, a part time job, 3 kids, and not much margin. I feel that’s the biggest struggle.

[@morgangreat]

The problem is that you keep seeing it as a problem instead of seeing it as an opportunity. Reframe your mind. Renew your perspective. Don't say that's a challenge, say it's an opportunity. All you need is to squeeze in one hour daily and start working towards your dream business. One focused hour a day is seven focused hours a week. That's enough to create your social media pages, build a landing page and figure out what type of content you want to create. Then... 7 focused hour another week is enough to get some other important stuff rolling. You don't need all the time in the world to start a business, you just need to create the time and really stop making excuses because excuses are usually our own downfall

[@AndreSjoberg]

what @morgangreat said, as well as this: - aknowledge it will take time, and be at piece with that, don’t look for results in a week or a month, be prepared for a couple of years of daily putting in that 30 minutes to an hour - prioritize: take a loooong hard look at what you’re time is spent on. is there *anything* you spend time on that you *could* cut, trim down, shave of a bit, ignore completely. - create routines to do things more effectively if possible: if food is bought 2 or 3 times a week look at doing bigger purchase runs, plan more and shop less frequently, and suddenly and hour or two is saved each week, plan other weekly activities on specific days to eliminate always «being behind schedule» and jumping on things and instead have those activities planned out in advance, and it might open up dedicated days or hours pr day to use for developing the business. - be consistent: even if it’s only 15 minutes one day, and maybe an hour the next day, doing it *every day* helps staying focused and on point, even if the amount of time available changes from day to day. - keep a «todo» list and keep adding to it, and use 10-15 minutes each week to prioritize that list, change the order of things as needs change, always add to it, and remove tasks you thought where important when entering them but later found to be not so important. - level up the todo-list to 3 lists: * must do pretty soon * should do sometime later (things that aren’t time critical * want to do (your wishlist, where you put everything you want to remember that doesn’t go into the first 2 lists) the weekly review of these lists, and moving a small amount into the «must do» list to keep things focused is key. if something is in your «must do» list for weeks on end move it back to your «should do» list, and new the «must do» focused on a weeks worth of tasks approximately, and adjust the amount of tasks in the must do list as hou learn what your capacity is. If you want to build business hard enough these tips will get you on the way if you feel you can stay the course for a couple of years :) Good luck :)

[@arc-system-for-dads]

Great video, Pat! No questions but I totally agree with videos being de-humanized. Thanks for sharing 🤘🏻

[@kevinbaerg]

Absolutely LOVE this casual and very personable format! The tips and insight are fantastic as well! Thanks!

[@derryXDINES]

Awesome advice here, Pat. I think what you guys are doing with the pokemon channel is great (my son is always entertained!), and am actually planning on incorporating a little of the style storytelling you guys do in something I'm shooting tomorrow. I'm stressing out a little about how I'm going to get all the footage I need, but I'll figure it out!

[@yusufmutuku]

He is so genuine, using language that anyone can understand. Thanks to you I see the growth in my channel

[@stevenreid_youtube]

You really nailed it with advice on breaking into new markets or niches! Understanding the community first, experimenting with unique content, and fostering a sense of belonging are crucial steps. Definitely a video worth watching for anyone looking to expand their presence in a different space!

[@amazingmrjesse3995]

This is awesome Pat! Love this! Thank you for the amazing advice!!

[@GoodNewsatWork]

Hey Pat! When do you start evaluating your thumbnail and title performance? How long do I wait before I start making changes? Do you ever really stop trying to optimize?

[@eddiejaoude]

Great video! Thanks Pat! Your second channel is WOW

[@piggybankaccountant]

Is this recorded with the DJI 2? I got DJI 1 and I feel like the sound is so bad

[@r.scottedwards7476]

Great portable mic...what are you using?

[@POVofanENFP]

Right! I'm trying to figure out the same thing

[@jazzyjaz8949]

This video was great. I got your book in the mail last week. Can’t wait to read it. 🎉🎉🎉

[@ElleAlbright]

Please do more of these and turn your podcast into a filmed one like diary of a ceo or impact theory. It would be really interesting to watch.

[@blacklisted_autodetailingc133]

I love that part where you do the blooper and have please standby Pat you’re amazing man I was at the girl with video live and I was flabbergasted by you and I’m on my way up there. I’m picking up things here and there but thank you so much love this channel showed it to my son now we are subscribed.

[@patflynn]

Appreciate you! Keep on going!

[@marlenemcconnell5393]

Pat! You and your team are amazing🎉 Thank you for empowering your audience.

[@xpert_kb1547]

Would you suggest sticking to one niche? I have a huge interest in video games and collectibles,

[@POVofanENFP]

What mic is that on his hat?

[@emersonsea22]

Hey, Pat. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@PodtasticAudio]

Great advice Pat! My podcast "Podtastic Audio" is another podcast about podcasting. But what makes mine different... is that I'm honest with my own challenges and mistakes. I go on the same journey as the indie podcasters out there. With the dedication to delivering value first to the audience. I asked you a while back if you would like to be a guest on the show. I don't always have guests so I personally select the best people in the space that would deliver the best value to audience of beginner podcasters out there. Thanks - Chris

[@carlosp.1846]

What is the best community website/app where people can connect and collaborate integrated with your brand? What tools do you use ?

[@patflynn]

check out www.smartpassiveincme.com/community - thank you!

[@ehargrov]

I found this pg through your pokemon videos and I hope to be able to use this with our NPO…. Thank you

[@TheRealLivingWithLisa]

Good advice.... I'm trying to pivot..... it ain't easy~~~

[@augustdunnihoo]

How do you talk about art on a podcast?

[@patflynn]

You can tell stories about the inspiration behind the art, how ideas came to be, some of the challenges and struggles along the way, talk with other artists and chat about trends or business or just get to know the artist in general.

[@producerkidd]

Can the storytelling aspect also work for a gaming channel? I feel that I have improved on my titles and thumbnails recently but I would like to think storytelling might be a bit tricky when it comes to gaming content.

[@beysshowcase]

As you play you can talk about the history of the game being played, history of the developers company or just a good ole fashioned story of your day/week to update all your fans on life events.

[@producerkidd]

@@beysshowcase What if the game happens to be a shooter? I find it hard to make a storytelling video, at best that I can think of is maybe making a skit of some sort

[@beysshowcase]

@@producerkidd this one is easy lol I am a big fan of the second amendment so for shooting games I would focus on the weapons. Maybe let your viewers know what brand/model the current weapon class you are working on is designed after. If the game utilized real life brands then expand on those companies and current offerings for the competitive/defensive/or recreational markets. Such as ACOG scopes in early Call of Duty Games. Lots of history to unfold in the history of Trijicon which I believe manufactures those ACOG scopes I mentioned.

[@producerkidd]

@@beysshowcase Yeah I would agree that talking about specifics would do good. It would be very informative and enjoyable for those the like that kind of information. However I'm thinking more in the sense of a story. For instance with COD how would you create a story? If I'm playing online multiplayer how can a story be made. Best I can think of is saving someone from the team as a mission type of video. Other than that I think it would be hard to create a video with story for a game like that. I know you can create videos on new updates with new items but to make a story that has a beginning, middle and end I think would be difficult

[@beysshowcase]

@@producerkidd I understand what you are talking about and do see your point. It may be easier to do what I mentioned during livestreams of your gameplay since you can interact with the chat, they can ask questions and the conversation should flow naturally like when one is just hanging out with their friends. As a long form pre recorded content video though the only way I can see a story being made from that gameplay is to make it like a sports game maybe? Show it is you as the “MVP” on your team against all of the tough opponents your enemy team has to throw at you. As you get certain achievements or “streaks” you can create little catch phrases and so on to add to the story and give your audience certain “key words or phrases” they tend to associate with your channel and enjoy. That or if you have a certain “goal” in mind for that round/match you can make it a sort of story that is focused primarily on your progress in achieving said goal, just make sure to throw in lots of jokes since comedy seems to make these things all come together quite nicely from the audience perspective.

[@mommyscribbles]

What a great video! Thank you. ❤

[@TheMattAndMonicaPodcast]

Love your content man!

[@TruckingTendencies]

Take heed !

[@agnesslovehealz]

Appreciate this so true

[@SkinnyBrotha]

I can't wait to meet you at card party and have you sign my superfans book.

[@paulkozar7454]

I'm thinking about starting a KZbin channel to funnel people into a newsletter, but I'm really a left-brained analytic sort of person so I have a lot of fear being a pied piper of sorts.

[@Emperor_Pikachu]

Hell yeah

[@MatthewShipp]

What kind of stores are we talking about? Behind-the-scenes. Because how do stories about I broke? I don’t know how to market my business and I can’t afford for anybody to help me help me. Tell people what I’m doing, what I’m about

[@pramodgeorgehq]

I'm just surprised that Pat is still creating videos on this channel when he could just focus completely on the 1M channel.

[@CuchBe]

I'm just going to point this out... you basically just took advantage of a per-existing community who were already insanely fanatical... I guess that's the tip. I'll pass.
