have you ever been fooled before by a headline too good to be true that really grabs at you emotionally spiritually or whatever it is often times that's referred to as clickbait titles or clickbait content there's a Nuance to this which is if the content actually delivers on the promise or the hook then it's not considered clickbait no matter how Sensational it is there's another way to look at this if you're walking through a supermarket right by the checkout counter is always the tabloids and it's like a mom has alien baby and you know in your heart that can't be true but it's so intriguing it's like really or you can't believe how these child stars turned out now if they actually show you the picture that you think they're going to show you then it's not clickbait but we've all been there or at least I have maybe I'm confessing something about myself I've gone down those rabbit holes where I'm like I well tell me about that child star that's the one that you said it was going to happen and 30 clicks later nothing so what happens to you

### [0:50](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5xduToNAoU&t=50s) Dangers of Clickbait

then what happens is you start to think man you fooled me and Mama didn't raise no fools so at some point I'm going to be very aware of who you are and how you show up online now this happens in video format too I see titles like this cuz I'm really interested in cars right now for Teslas for Porsches and I'm also interested in what's happening in the Marvel Cinematic Universe so there are titles that pop up every single day on my feed you won't believe what happened Marvel makes major decision and then I watch it and 10 minutes later I'm like that's not a major decision and you're dragging this thing out so what they're doing is they're doing it for the views so they can monetize their Channel I get it I understand somebody somewhere needs a to make a dollar and they're doing it but every time they do that they take away a little bit of my trust and the number one thing that I don't think you can afford to lose is trust that's what brands are about that's what you're about so if you keep showing up one way eventually people write you off and it's going to be very difficult for you to regain that trust so if people are telling you to write click baity titles to do clickbait content just realize there's a short-term gain but it comes at a long-term loss to you so I would caution you against that that's not to say that you can't make Sensational headlines cuz we know if you don't uh interrupt someone's feed then they're not going to pay attention and all that hard work all the research all the good will that you put into the content is not going to be seen and that can just be as devastating as clickbait content that doesn't work is you put all this heart and energy into it and no one shows up it's like crickets chirping in the field and that could hurt you and that will probably lead you to some dark alleys where you start to hack your way through the algorithm and discover these kinds of things but I'd really caution you against that here are some guys

### [2:29](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5xduToNAoU&t=149s) How to Avoid it

lines to make sure that you're not doing clickbait content but before I want to also say don't be afraid of saying something in a sensational way if it's true I'll give you an example if you help someone generate 200,000 views for real it's verifiable don't be afraid to say this one idea helped them to get 200,000 views some people are too conservative and they can't oh that feels so click baity it's not if it's the truth it's okay and the truth will set you free now let's go the opposite way which is all right I'm not getting any views I think oh let's call it like millionaire goes bankrupt and it's really not paying off in the content what you're really doing there is you're just lying if the content actually supports what the headline says it's

### [3:11](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5xduToNAoU&t=191s) AI Prompt

okay and what I would suggest that you do is take the headline and put it into one of these um large language AI models and say hey I'm concerned that this might be too click baity I'm going to give you this headline and give me 10 alternates That Vary degree of Click Bess I don't even know that's a word but GPT is so smart it will just know I misspell words all the time and it just knows and try that and look at the 10 and step back from yourself and say look if I was consuming my own content which one am I more likely to be attracted to that don't feel like it's too scammy or not part of my brand voice no matter

### [3:45](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5xduToNAoU&t=225s) Conclusion

what if you get followers if you get subscribers or more money for from AdSense if at the end of the day it goes against your core values then maybe you don't have core values there I said it so be careful of that what are you supposed to do then if you can't do clickbait well I want you to stick around and tune in for the next episode cuz I'm going to tell you how to do the opposite
