Episode 333

Everyone obsesses over hooks (rightfully so), but we don’t spend enough time strategizing endings. Which is weird, because the last 60 seconds of your video is where you have the chance to send someone to another video on your channel or somewhere else.

In this episode we get into why so many videos die a slow death in the final stretch, the “thanks for watching” trap that tells viewers to leave, and why stacking five CTAs at the end is like having zero. Plus when to skip the outro entirely.

Basically: stop ignoring the back half of your video.
