Transcript

00:00Dhruv Rathee, Mohak Mangal, and Nitesh Rajput.

00:03Every video of these creators gets millions of views,

00:06and they earn lakhs from ad revenue.

00:08If you also want to make videos like these YouTubers,

00:10then most likely you have thought of the topic of the video,

00:13but now you are not able to understand where to start the research.

00:16Which points should we cover?

00:18There is so much information on Google about our topic,

00:20so what should we read from that?

00:22And finally, how to write a script on the basis of that information?

00:25The answer to all these questions will be found in this video.

00:28I'll tell you how you can use the Kipling method

00:30to find important points related to your topic,

00:33how you can research those points on the internet

00:36and go into the depth of every point,

00:37I'll also tell you some free tools for research,

00:40and we'll also see how your favorite creators

00:42write the script of their videos.

00:44Let's begin.

00:45So, you get an amazing idea in your mind,

00:47and you decide that you'll make a video on this topic.

00:50Now, two things can happen with you here.

00:52Either you'll get so many points related to that topic in your mind

00:55that you'll get confused as to how many of them to note,

00:58or your brain will be completely blank

01:00and you'll have no idea where to start.

01:02Whatever it is, in both these cases, you'll use the Kipling method.

01:06The Kipling method is a simple and effective technique

01:08which is used to gather information related to any topic.

01:12This technique is also called the 5W1H method

01:15because it uses the 5 Ws which are

01:18Who, What, When, Where, Why and 1H which is How.

01:24Let's take an example to understand how to use this technique.

01:26Let's say we're making a video on the topic

01:29The Hidden World of Dark Web.

01:31So, I can apply the Kipling method on this topic

01:33and find relevant points for my video.

01:35For example, the first and most basic question can be

01:38What? What exactly is the Dark Web?

01:40In this, you can tell what the Dark Web is,

01:42how it differs from the Surface Web,

01:44what kind of content is available on it, etc.

01:47Then, there's When.

01:48So, the question will be When did the Dark Web emerge?

01:51In this, you can give a timeline of when the Dark Web came,

01:53when it became popular.

01:54If there are some big events related to its history,

01:57then you can tell about it.

01:58Then, there's Where.

01:59Where was it created?

02:00And where is it used the most?

02:02Then, we have Who.

02:04So, who are the individuals controlling the world of Dark Web?

02:07Who uses the Dark Web?

02:08Who are the potential victims of it?

02:10Basically, all kinds of people who are directly

02:12or indirectly involved in this thing

02:14or are affected by it, we'll talk about them.

02:17Then, there's Why.

02:18So, why does the Dark Web exist?

02:20And finally, we have How.

02:21So, in this, you can cover the technical aspects of the Dark Web.

02:25How does it work?

02:26That is, how does the Dark Web work?

02:28Kipling method is very useful for research

02:31because it ensures that all the relevant aspects of your topic are considered.

02:35And all the YouTubers you see,

02:37they use this method to conduct research.

02:40Let's take Dhruv Rathee's video,

02:41How Metaverse Works, Secrets of Metaverse.

02:44I watched this video and noted down

02:46which topics did Dhruv cover in this video.

02:50First of all, what is Metaverse?

02:52In this, he has defined Metaverse.

02:54He has talked about its name's origin.

02:56He has talked about its users.

02:58Then, who are the key figures in the development of Metaverse?

03:01That is, the companies and entrepreneurs involved in this,

03:04he has talked about them.

03:05Then, there's a point, when can we get Metaverse?

03:08When will it become a part of our lives?

03:10Then, where did the idea of Metaverse generate?

03:12Why is Metaverse gaining popularity?

03:14How does Metaverse work?

03:16The technologies used in Metaverse,

03:18like VR, AR, etc.

03:20He has discussed this.

03:22And finally, how will it affect our lives?

03:24That is, its positive and negative impacts.

03:27And if you see, all the important aspects,

03:29i.e. 5W's and 1H, have been covered.

03:33While using this method,

03:34keep one thing in mind,

03:36that the demand for each topic is different.

03:38For example, if you're making a video related to World War,

03:40then the questions about war will have a lot of significance.

03:43Because you want to know where the war happened, right?

03:46Similarly, if I'm making a video on the topic,

03:48how MrBeast became the world's biggest YouTuber,

03:50then obviously, the questions about war won't matter that much.

03:53Also, it's important, that whichever topic you're making a video on,

03:56if you already have some knowledge related to it,

03:58then only you'll be able to raise intelligent questions using Kipling method.

04:01If you have a problem using this method,

04:04then you can also prompt ChatGPT,

04:06that I'm making a YouTube video on the topic XYZ,

04:09how can I apply the 5W-1H method to research for this video?

04:13And ChatGPT will do this for you in just a few seconds.

04:17After doing this much,

04:18comes the step from where the real research will start.

04:21That is, finding answers and verifying source.

04:24Basically, the list of questions or list of points that we've prepared,

04:27we'll look for their answers.

04:29For this, you can go to Google and perform a quick search.

04:32And you'll get articles related to your questions.

04:35You can find the Wikipedia of your topic.

04:38You can find books related to your topic.

04:41You can watch documentaries and interviews on YouTube.

04:44Of course, the alternative to this is

04:45to go to sites like ChatGPT and type your questions,

04:48and find answers from there.

04:50But I strongly recommend that you avoid this method.

04:53This is because, number one,

04:54the more articles, studies, and reports you read,

04:57the more interviews you watch,

04:58the more your knowledge will increase about that topic.

05:01With this, you'll be able to do more extensive research

05:04with much more confidence.

05:05The second reason is that when you read the articles yourself,

05:08you'll realize that there are many important points

05:11that you're missing even after using the Kipling method.

05:13So, you can add those points to your list.

05:16If you want to get help from AI,

05:18I recommend that you use AI tools like Poplexity.

05:21Poplexity is good for research

05:23because whatever answer you get on this,

05:25you can also see its citation,

05:26that is, the source of that information.

05:29It has mainly two benefits.

05:31First, you can read the articles mentioned in those sources

05:34and collect more information regarding your question.

05:37Second, you can verify the source of information

05:40to see if it's reliable or not.

05:42Whatever you read on your topic,

05:44make sure to check if it's from a trustable website

05:46and also check if its author is credible or not.

05:49Also, if there are websites like Source, Quara, or Reddit,

05:53then it's very likely that the information is biased,

05:56which means it's unreliable.

05:57Verifying the source is always important,

06:00but in some cases, it becomes a must.

06:02Like topics related to medicine,

06:05scientific information,

06:06finance,

06:07news and politics,

06:08and other controversial topics.

06:10There are some other very useful tools for research,

06:12like Google Scholar.

06:14In this, you can easily enter your topic

06:16and find academic papers, articles, and studies related to it.

06:20Then there's Consensus.

06:22This is a search engine that uses AI

06:24and directly answers your question

06:27on the basis of scientific evidence.

06:28If you're making a video on a scientific topic,

06:31then make sure to use it.

06:32The next step on our list is going in-depth.

06:35If you want your videos to be as informative as possible,

06:39then while researching,

06:40you'll have to go in-depth with your topic.

06:43And for such in-depth research,

06:45we'll use Horizontal and Vertical Logic.

06:47There are two types of logic.

06:49One is Horizontal Logic,

06:51and the other is Vertical Logic.

06:53So yeah, what is Horizontal and Vertical Logic?

06:56Let's say we're making a video on the topic of smoking.

06:59And while researching, we got a question,

07:02Why do people smoke?

07:04So we can write that its main reasons are

07:06peer pressure, stress relief, advertising, etc.

07:09So this is an example of Horizontal Logic.

07:11It's called Horizontal Logic

07:13because we're exploring our topic along a horizontal plane.

07:17Whereas if we want to move in a vertical plane

07:19and go in-depth with the topic,

07:21then that would be Vertical Logic.

07:23So like, why do people smoke?

07:24Because of peer pressure.

07:26Why do people face peer pressure?

07:28Because they want to fit in their social circle.

07:30Why do people want to fit in their social circle?

07:32Because feeling of belonging and connection

07:35is a basic need of humans.

07:36Why is it a basic need?

07:37Because throughout history,

07:39being a part of a tribe has been important

07:41for protection, resource sharing, and reproduction.

07:44So as you can see,

07:45we've reached the root cause of this problem.

07:47And in the same way,

07:48you also have to go in-depth with every important question

07:50while using Horizontal and Vertical Logic.

07:53If you do this, then your research is complete.

07:56And on the basis of this information,

07:57you can write a script.

07:59The more important the research in these creators' videos,

08:01the more important is a killer script.

08:04Without which, this entire playlist

08:05will look boring like history classes.

08:07So, the first step to writing a killer script is

08:10writing a killer intro.

08:11Again, like I always say in my videos,

08:13there is no specific format to make an intro hook

08:16that you have to follow.

08:18For example, Nitish Rajput shows those parts of the video

08:20in his intros

08:22where he has said a very attention-grabbing statement.

08:25Which obviously works as a very strong hook.

08:28Apart from this, to create a hook in the infotainment niche,

08:31you can show some shocking data or statistics

08:33at the start of the video

08:35related to your topic

08:36like mostly seen in Mohak Mangal's

08:37business-related videos.

08:39If you watch Dhruv Rathee's videos,

08:41especially those videos in which

08:43he has covered history topics,

08:45then he starts his intro by telling a story.

08:47After listening to that story,

08:48a lot of questions come to the viewers' minds

08:51whose answer Dhruv Rathee starts giving.

08:53So yeah,

08:54whatever the intro is,

08:56one thing is common in all of them,

08:57that is to make the viewers curious

08:59to watch the rest of the videos as well.

09:01After you have written the intro,

09:02now you have to come to the main content,

09:04i.e. whatever points you have noted down

09:05using the Kipling method,

09:07you have to start answering them.

09:09In most cases,

09:10it is better to answer the basic questions first.

09:12Like if the video is about Mona Lisa,

09:15then who made Mona Lisa first,

09:17when was it made,

09:18answer these questions first.

09:19And then move towards some more interesting questions

09:22like why is Mona Lisa the most expensive painting?

09:25You also have to remember

09:26that you have to go deeper into those questions

09:28which are relevant to the topic of the video.

09:30Like if the video is about Mona Lisa

09:31and you are asking who painted Mona Lisa?

09:33Go deeper into this question.

09:35Leonardo da Vinci's history,

09:37education, family,

09:38start covering everything.

09:39So viewers will probably quit the video

09:41because they didn't come for this.

09:43Instead of this,

09:44questions like

09:46who is the woman in the painting?

09:47This is more relevant and interesting as well,

09:49so you can cover this in great detail.

09:52But wait,

09:53this is not enough.

09:54If you want the viewers to stay in the video

09:57without getting bored,

09:58then you have to do something else as well.

10:00If you watch Dhruv Rathee,

10:01then you know how many points are covered in his videos.

10:04But still,

10:05the entire video feels like a movie.

10:07It will never happen that

10:09abruptly after one point,

10:10that is, suddenly,

10:11another point starts.

10:13There is always a link between these points.

10:15Sometimes while explaining their current point,

10:18they raise a question

10:19whose answer is found from the next point.

10:21Or they tell something

10:23which completely contradicts the current point.

10:25This retention tactic is so subtle

10:28that the viewer doesn't even know

10:29yet it keeps them in the entire video.

10:32Alright.

10:33So if you have come this far,

10:34then comment

10:35Research is fun!

10:36And do tell me how did you like the video.

10:38On this channel,

10:39I make similar YouTube growth related videos.

10:42So if you are interested in growing your channel,

10:44then watch this playlist right now.

10:46And yeah,

10:47I will meet you there.

10:48Bye.
