• Why Your Reels Aren't Getting Views

  The brutal truth about your failing content strategy (and the 3-second rule that changes everything) The 3-Second Death Rule That's Killing Your ContentYour reel has exactly three seconds to live or die. Three seconds before viewers scroll past, potentially lost forever. And here's what makes it worse: when viewers swipe past, the algorithm doesn't forget about it—it actively punishes you.It's a brutal truth! While you've been making content, successful creators have been making something completely different. There's a massive distinction that's costing you hundreds of thousands of views. Gone are the days when you could simply pull highlights from your podcast and expect them to perform. The game has completely changed, especially in the last year.Those creators getting 200,000 views understand a fundamental shift in how short-form content works—a shift that most creators completely miss. It's not about better content or fancier editing. It's about understanding what your reels actually are (hint: they're not what you think).The Content Creator's Secret WeaponWe're not content hopers. We're content creators. But most creators are hoping for viral moments instead of engineering them. The difference between 200 views and 200,000 views comes down to specific techniques you can implement before you even hit record.There's a pro technique I use with interview guests that turns boring responses into viral gold—without making your guest look bad. In fact, it makes them look even more expert while giving you complete control over the viral potential of your content. This single technique has transformed how my clients approach their podcast interviews.But here's the thing: none of this works if you don't understand your audience's deepest pain points. I've developed a specific questionnaire that digs through the layers to find your true niche and audience. Once you have this clarity, creating scroll-stopping content becomes almost automatic.You can check that out right here.The Framework That Changes EverythingThe worst content mistake you can make isn't what you think. It's not about poor quality or bad audio. It's something that makes viewers ignore you forever and triggers the algorithm to bury your content even deeper.I've developed a specific framework for creating what I call "scroll-stoppers"—content that doesn't just get views but builds an empire. It involves scripting certain elements (but not what you'd expect) and understanding the three types of headlines that actually make people stop scrolling.In the full episode, I break down:- The exact 5-hook method I use before every recording- Two different recording strategies (one saves time, one maximizes viral potential)- How to pull 10 viral reels from a single piece of content- The spokesperson technique that saves boring interviews- Why giving away your best content actually makes you more money---Subscribe to the podcast or Watch the Full EpisodeReady for the complete system?
