0:01 How you should explain what you're

Alright guys, this is video number three on learning how to teach. In video number three, I'm going to explain how you should explain what you're teaching about. If you can hear funny noises in the background, that's the cat in the dirt, right? Anyway, this is some gaffer tape. So I've now explained that that is gaffer tape. Okay, for a lot of people, they know exactly what gaffer tape is, what it does, its uses, how to use it, how to not use it, etc. So for me explaining it in that way, here's some gaffer tape. I have explained that this is gaffer tape to the people who are teaching. I have explained that this is gaffer tape to the people who know that it is gaffer tape. But what about the people who don't know it's gaffer tape? What about the people who've never seen it before in their lives?

Here's an analogy for you. A Martian lands on the earth and you go up to the Martian and the Martian looks at you and you happen to be holding a television. The television is plugged in and the television is capable of playing some sort of something. You can watch X Factor or the news on it, so it's ready to go.

1:21 Knows how to turn a television on

You should think or some people would think, well, it's a TV. Everyone knows how to turn a television on. So you may say to the Martian, okay, the Martian says, sorry, the Martian, oh my God, that cat's got through with it. I'm not going to edit this, just on it. All right, let's get back to it. The Martian says, what is that? And you say, it's a television. Just turn it on and you can watch something. Well, he's a Martian. How does he know how to turn it on? How does he know that you've actually... You've actually told him to turn the television on, which is here. For all the Martian knows, you might have asked him to turn your hat on or your top or your trousers. You have to explain everything in fine detail because you're not only teaching and explaining to the people who already know about a certain item or product, but you're also teaching and explaining about that product to people who have maybe never seen it before in their lives.

2:59 Stick it down and again stick it correctly

So. This is gaffer tape and it's used for sticking things down. It's in a reel. It's very sticky. It's similar to sellotape, but it's more commonly used for people in the music industry or in film and television. There it is, the white. The white side is the sticky side. The black side is the side that's not sticky. You can get this in white and also in silver. And if I take that off, it rips. Now the beauty about gaffer tape is very simple because it's sticky, smells a bit, but also the way it's made, there's sort of twine inside it. So you can, if you want to rip it like that as well. Stick it down and again stick it correctly. Make sure it's flat and then when you're good to go and you want to remove the gaffer tape.

Lift it up. Now here's a tip for you and you probably didn't know this. When you stick gaffer tape down, sometimes it's a nightmare to pick up. So if you take a little bit of it and turn it like that and then when you stick it down, look, if I do two, there's two, all right? This one here is without the bit that's had a little bit of a turn. Okay, I can pull it up. This one here lift. It's two. It's gone. So now I have explained in far greater detail, not only what gaffer tape is but what it does as well. And also if you want to start teaching and you want to do self-promotion, you'll notice I'm not wearing a top. So you never know people may remember me not just for this video or for the gaffer tape, but they'll remember me for the guy who wasn't wearing a top.

So somewhere down the line, they'll go, I know you, you did that crazy video without wearing a top. And the cat just had a shit. This is video number three. In video number four, I'll be explaining how you can make money from teaching as well. Practice and enjoy. Thank you. It's not scripted by the way.
