Ben Azadi: "I had no script. I didn't prepare for this." Azadi's organic video sparked massive YouTube growth.

Ben Azadi's story of rapid growth offers valuable insights and actionable strategies for anyone looking to boost their YouTube presence.

Ben Azadi, a functional health practitioner, shared his remarkable journey of gaining over 100,000 subscribers in just 37 days. He explains how a simple, unscripted video shot in his car while driving his videographer became his fastest-growing video ever. As Ben recounts, "I had no script. I didn't prepare for this. It was completely just, like, natural and organic. And I recorded the 17-minute video. We posted it on the channel, and that video started to become the fastest-growing video on the YouTube channel out of over a thousand videos over six-plus years." This unexpected success led him to create more similar content, resulting in a surge in subscribers and views.

Ben explains how he went from a period of plateaued growth to a massive upswing by implementing seven specific title formulas. He emphasizes the shift in his content creation strategy, moving towards protocol-based videos and incorporating Q&A sections. Ben explains his process, stating, "I'm doing four new videos every week on the channel... three solos, which is going to be on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, which are educational that range from 12 to 25 minutes." He further adds the insightful use of ChatGPT, saying, "I put it into ChatGPT, and then I prompt ChatGPT to give me seven to ten questions somebody might have based off of what I just shared that I did not address in that video. And then I add Q&A to all of those solos as well."

The core message of the video revolves around the importance of adapting and experimenting with different content formats and title formulas. Sean Cannell, the host, emphasizes this, saying, "What matters in today's world is the content. And what's cool is brand-new channels are breaking through because they master title, thumbnail, packaging, content. And established channels have to reinvent themselves." Ben's success is a testament to this, proving that even established creators need to constantly evolve their strategies. This is highlighted by Ben's use of the "Unexpected Solution Formula" in his video titled, "If you eat one whole avocado every day, this happens to your body and fat," which garnered significantly more views than his channel average.

The effectiveness of these formulas is supported by various online discussions. For instance, Brian Dean of Backlinko highlights the power of using numbers and keywords in titles. Similarly, vidIQ stresses the importance of creating compelling titles that evoke curiosity and clearly communicate the video's value proposition. Another source, TubeBuddy, recommends using A/B testing to determine which titles resonate best with your audience.

Beyond the core message, the video delves into the specifics of Ben's seven viral title formulas. These include the Step-by-Step Protocol Formula ("The five-step protocol to lose man boobs after 40 plus"), the Counterintuitive Claim Formula ("Meat is better than exercise"), the Authority Contradiction Formula ("We learn it too late. Do not make these health mistakes"), the Time-Bound Promise Formula ("How to get rid of your visceral fat in 30 days. Complete beginner's guide"), the Quick Results Formula ("One tablespoon a day melts fat in 7 days"), and others.

Ben provides real-world examples and explains how he applied each formula to his videos. He also shares insights into his overall strategy, discussing posting frequency, content types (conversational vs. protocol-focused), and the use of ChatGPT for generating Q&A segments. The video also touches on his use of affiliate marketing, learned from Think Media, and creating lead magnets using ChatGPT to grow his email list. He excitedly mentions gaining 10,000 emails from one video, highlighting the potential of YouTube for business growth.
