Count The Harvest

Open by framing the video as a live count — 'let's see how many X we can get out of this' — so viewers stay to see the final tally.

When

Use this when your video has a naturally enumerable payoff — tips, mistakes, saves, red flags — and you want a built-in reason for viewers to watch to the end.
