This Is How You Should Actually Make Launch Videos

Farza Majeed says Hey Clicky founders should ship daily demos, valuing 20% YouTube conversion over millions of views.
Farza Majeed, founder of Hey Clicky and former Buildspace founder, argues that product launches should be ongoing demos, not expensive, once-only productions. A rough Clicky video drew nearly 3 million views and 7,000 downloads; about 100 users kept using it daily, convincing him to build the company. He scripts videos but aims to sound natural, uses the “did my eyes stop?” test for hooks, and turns product demos into mini-stories. His old ZipSchool videos sometimes earned just 23 likes, but repeated practice improved his storytelling. One Instagram video reached 21 million views, while a YouTube video with 20,000 views converted around 20% of viewers into downloads—proof that views aren’t the goal. He says targeted TikToks averaging 4,000 views brought 50 design-agency leads, and Instagram drives about 70% of Hey Clicky’s traffic. His advice: show what you’re building, track conversions, and post one phone video daily for 30 days.
