Your video should focus on the core problem you are trying to solve for your people.
And by doing that, you make them care for your content and drive them further into the video.
Then you start mapping your content as a solution to their problem and show the final transformation by adapting that solution.
You end your video with a solid call to action, such as subscribing to your channel or going to your landing page.
