This Is How You Should Actually Make Launch Videos

There’s a misconception that a successful launch video needs to cost tens of thousands of dollars and feel like a high production commercial. But Farza Majeed has a radically different approach. Farza is the founder of Hey Clicky and previously Buildspace, one of the largest online schools for people building their own ideas. He’s been making videos for over a decade and his posts regularly get millions of views. He’s found a way to turn launch videos into an everyday part of his process and today he’s going to share his playbook. In this episode of Startup School, Farza sat down with YC’s Aaron Epstein to break down why every demo should be treated as a launch, how to script a video that sounds completely off the cuff, and which channels actually convert - including why a 20,000-view YouTube video can beat 3 million views on Twitter.
