Try to remember: when was the last time you watched a full advertisement on
Youtube? Certainly few, and they probably were the ones who managed to get you
“to hook” effectively in the first seconds of the video.

The first 10 seconds of the video are very important. You can explore
the resources of texts or something unusual, but start the video by directly saying who
you are, and what you will teach, no beating around the bush!

In digital marketing, it is good practice to test different article titles and

Email subjects. Record more than one introduction and make an analysis!

The meaning of this is rain and/or storm of ideas, and it is basically what
