Ever wonder how a team can consistently publish multiple videos a week without losing track of ideas, titles, or thumbnails? In this video, we show our exact video planning process here at Think Media!
We walk step-by-step through our entire pre-production workflow inside Milanote: doing competitor analysis and examining comment sections for pain points, organizing scripts, gear, and brand deal info all in one place, running "Title Crew" brainstorm sessions with our team, gathering thumbnail inspiration, and finally A/B testing both titles and thumbnails to find the best-performing package.
Our mission here at Think Media is to help purpose-driven entrepreneurs go full-time doing what they love and making an impact through the power of video.
