I have some issue with my LinkedIn account. 6 moths ago my LinkedIn was going to top on list then suddenly my email was change so I contact with LinkedIn but they don't give my any solution so be aware.

Hey everyone, First off, Merry Christmas! Even if you don’t celebrate it, I hope you’re having an amazing day filled with love and laughter 🙏 I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. This community wouldn’t be what it is without you all—your questions, ideas, and support make this space incredible. Watching you all grow as editors and creators inspires me every day, and I’m so grateful you’re here. And since it’s Christmas, I wanted to give you a little gift: a powerful editing concept to elevate your storytelling. Let’s talk about the Harmon Circle and how you can use it in your YouTube videos. //////////////////////////////////// The Harmon Circle, inspired by Dan Harmon’s story structure, is an 8-step guide for creating compelling narratives. It’s simple yet super powerful, and it works wonders in YouTube videos to keep your audience hooked. Here’s how it goes: 1️⃣ You: Start with your character (or you, the creator) in their comfort zone. 2️⃣ Need: Show they want something or are missing something. 3️⃣ Go: Take them out of their comfort zone to pursue it. 4️⃣ Search: They face challenges and learn along the way. 5️⃣ Find: They achieve their goal (or think they do). 6️⃣ Take: It comes with a cost or lesson. 7️⃣ Return: They go back to their comfort zone. 8️⃣ Change: They’re transformed by the journey. //////////////////////////////////// How to Use This in YouTube Videos 1. Hook: Open with the "You" and "Need" stages—what’s the problem, and why should the audience care? 2. Journey: Use "Go" and "Search" to build tension. Show the struggle, whether it’s completing a challenge or learning a lesson. 3. Payoff: The "Find" and "Take" stages are your big moment. This could be solving a mystery, hitting a goal, or revealing a transformation. 4. Reflection: Wrap up with "Return" and "Change." Highlight what you (or your subject) learned and why it matters. Using this structure makes your videos feel like a complete, satisfying story—and stories are what keep people coming back for more.

Have you ever clicked on a video and immediately felt bored because the creator spent the first few minutes explaining everything? You feel like, “Get to the good stuff already!” But here’s the thing: sometimes, you need exposition 🗣️ It’s crucial for setting up the story or giving context. But the problem is… most creators deliver it in a way that’s boring and makes viewers click off 💤 So how do you keep viewers hooked while delivering the info they need? Let me introduce you to a technique called… 🔑 Pope in the Pool This storytelling technique comes from the screenplay “The Plot to Kill the Pope” There’s a scene where the Pope’s advisors give the pope a bunch of information. Sounds boring, right? But it’s not, because the Pope is swimming laps in a pool fully clothed during this conversation. The unexpected visuals make the explanation way more interesting and keeps you distracted while they give exposition. And you can apply this to YouTube videos. Instead of dumping info, pair your explanation with something entertaining: fast b-roll, funny cutaways, or even unexpected memes. 🔑 The key is to have two things going on at the same time: (1) exposition and (2) something entertaining that distracts the audience from noticing that they are being fed exposition. So if you’re the creator, instead of sitting still and just talking, think of ways to make the scene visually engaging while explaining things. But if you’re the editor, hopefully your client already does this for you, and makes your job easy. But if not, here’s what to do… 🔑 Tell your clients about this technique if they explain things too much and for too long. Not only will it improve their videos, but it’ll make you appear as an expert, increasing your value 🤓 So if your clients didn’t do this while filming, then you need to make up for it in the edit if you can. So next time you’re editing, ask yourself: 1. What can I show here to keep people entertained while this info is delivered?
