The 4-Part Teaching Video Formula
Want your next tutorial, reel, or explainer video to actually land?
Use this simple framework we give to our clients:
1. Hook (0:00–0:10)
Start with the problem.
Not your product. Not your credentials.
👉 “Here’s what most people get wrong about [X]…”
2. Promise (0:10–0:20)
Set the expectation.
👉 “In the next 90 seconds, I’ll show you how to fix it.”
3. Teach (0:20–1:30)
Deliver the value.
No fluff. Just clear steps or insights, broken down simply.
4. Shift (1:30–2:00)
Wrap it up with a shift:
What’s the mindset change, takeaway, or small next step?
👉 “If you just learned this, imagine what you could do with a full video strategy.”
