You have to push yourself to the limit to get those great ideas out on the page. Now let's talk about the pressure you put on yourself to get those ideas out. How do you get those ideas out? So I think about there's probably a lot of great ideas on my head right now, already just buried in there that I got to get out of my mind. Get out a sheet of paper and write down your best hundred ideas. In fact, write down 300 ideas, write down as many ideas as you can base it off the research you did from videos from other channels, your own ideas, just get down your absolute best ideas, however many you can possibly write, maybe it's 1000.
Get them all out. Once they're all there, narrow him down to the top 20 best the ones most likely to go viral. run them past a friend. Tell them your idea in one sentence for each one notice their facial reactions as you're telling them the idea the face doesn't lie. Better yet, tell them it's not even your idea. Say it's a friend of yours idea and see what they say.
Better yet still tell a stranger, a complete stranger the idea and this will help you to determine which ideas really are good and which ones are you know you won't like it. You want to put your best foot forward and come out swinging with those 20 ideas. So we want to make sure that they're the cream of the crop to help launch this channel and make a get get a few of them that are going to go viral. I really love the type of ideas that just sell themselves. There was one that simple pickup did where they did a hidden camera, Tinder date, and they put the girl in a fat suit and they set her down and all the guys, you know, they said they had really picture pretty pictures of her on her Tinder profile. So now here they are meeting her and she's in this fat suit.
And they filmed the reactions. And it's a very funny video and most of the guys love pretty much immediately. And then it gets down all the way to this one guy's left and then he he actually stays in dates the girl even though she's in this fat suit, and she says, um, hey, you know, she came clean. Hey, we're doing this experiment. I'm in a fat suit. Not really this big.
But since you were so nice and you stayed. I'd like to actually go on a date with you. The video got millions and millions of views. And that's again, an idea that just the idea is so good before you even see the execution of it. It's like, Oh, yeah, that sounds like an idea that would go viral. So those are the kind of ideas you want and top The idea is that sound like they will go viral.
Another thing I've learned too, with viral videos is when I did my sloppy laughs channel, I was doing these prank videos. And I was always asking my friends and relatives I Hey, could you pass this video around and share it on your Facebook and tell your friends about it? It was amazing how few of them would actually ever do this for me. And I was really frustrated and disappointed. And then one day I got a mug one of the one of my on so I had to continually ask me would never pass my videos around. She actually sent me a video from someone else's prank channel.
Say, Hey, check out this funny video. And I'm like, Are you kidding me? She sent me someone else's video around. She's not even related to here. I am begging her to send my video out. She's sending off someone else's video.
And I said I thought about it for a while. Why did she do that? And I thought well, the reality is probably that my video wasn't good and their video was and the take the learning lesson takeaway from me was that when you have a video that's very good, you won't even need to ask people To share they'll do it without you even asking them and that's the quality of the video that we need to aim for.
