Having trained several thousand traders during live markets since 2000, I'd appreciate your honest feedback about my training:
Note:
- High number of specific winning calls
- I traded live
- Quality of training
But yet all of you aren't members.... : p
Candidly, what should I do to improve?
Good feedback so far from traders has said to show status of open vs closed positions, and talk slower. What else?
(I'm not going to trade crap low float under $10 stocks in a sim account and make bs $100,000 phony YouTube videos like competitors do, lol)
Skimming through the video, if you were (or are) a stock day trader -- what should I add or do differently?
Thanks!
I respect and appreciate your efforts and am happy to provide feedback. Although most of my comments will be critical, my hope is to provide you with ideas that will help you make a good service even better.
1. I feel you need to make a stronger “Credibility statement” that better shows your value to your intended audience. This credibility statement needs to be unambiguous and to the point.
Talk about your experience and goals that your audience should identify with. Consider including some customer testimonials at some point in your presentation.
2. The some goes for your product offering, or in this case, you, except here is where you get more specific. What is your “Value add” for your audience? What is it you do that will benefit them in some way? Why should they want use your service and not do it themselves or use a competitor? In short, what make you uniquely special?
Perhaps you read news, earnings reports, and economic releases and have developed a method of identifying instruments that will have a greater than average range and that tends to trade more predictably. In this example, your value add is at least saving time or helping to identify trading opportunities with greater potential profitability.
3. Your voice, like the most of us, is thoughtful but seems to lack energy or enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is infectuous and makes things fun for everyone. Enthusiasm make it easier for people to join, while helping keeping people “Addicted” to your service because it is informative and fun.
Perhaps standing up while you speak will help. Consider joining Toastmasters, Int’l to improve your skills in organizing your thoughts and communicating your ideas.
4. Promotional videos should be high content and short.
By high content, I don’t mean giving away the exact details of your proprietary knowledge, but still offer worthwhile information to your audience whether they use your service or not. The marketing concept employed here is known as “Value in advance”, where people viewing your content are so impressed, they wonder, “If he is giving this for free, what is his paid content like”? Obviously, you will have to be well organized and be able to categorize information levels into tiers. For example, have a public information tier, a unpaid subscriber tier, and a paid subscriber tier.
By short, put a hard limit of eight minutes on your promotionsl videos. It forces you to really think about what is important and what is not, thereby increasing the quality of your video.
Hopefully these ideas will help and as always, definately appreciate your effort here on ET.
