Tomorrow I'll drop a YouTube video on how to generate these fully automated AI video from HeyGen's new API subscription. You can record audio notes in Slack and then automatically generate high quality videos and store them in Airtable (and publish them). Checkout the video tomorrow when it goes live at 10am Pacific.

I THINK I have all of the essentials down-- except for a flagship product offering and consistent content for these two brands. Can you guys help me figure out where to start and which angle to take with content and a product line? These are the two projects: WeBrandU (pronounced We-Brand-YOU) Traders Edge Group Feel free to be brutally honest and any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Sean😁

Below is a screenshot from last week's video on a channel we have been running for five years. It ticks over well, it saw huge grow in the first two years, then found a steady baseline of around $3000-5000 per month (CPM is really high). However, revenue is not the main focus of this channel. Without giving too much away, this channel actively helps solve police cases and has spawned its own series on Amazon Prime. This post isn't about that; it's about why it's so essential to DOUBLE DOWN on content that works, it just so happens to be the case with last week's video on this channel. How easy does it sound if we say: "out of these 20 videos, this video got 3x the views as the other 19? So do that again" You would be AMAZED at how many creators don't do this, and we have no idea why. If something works, you have to double down on it to validate whether it was just random that a particular video did well or if your audience/YouTube is telling you to pivot to that type of content. In this instance, we had a video perform well on a topic slightly different from usual. It worked well, so we tried it again a month after the first video's success, and below is the result. This tells us that the first video wasn't a fluke and that our audience enjoys this type of video, so guess what? We will triple down on this, check the stats and report back 🫡 The moral of the story is: If you have a video that performs better than others, DOUBLE DOWN. At the very least, just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. Happy creating YouTubers!

Is selecting the right niche really that important? Well yea, but let's put some meat on that bone. It is important, I have a niche and it helps a lot. But only a well educated person (and by well educated, I mean educated on market desires, not skills) can just select the right niche and be successful. What I mean is, only someone that knows a niche well, someone that has researched it, and knows the problems well can just select a niche out of the blue and serve them. Only a person that has that type of mindset can just "select" a niche and run with it successfully. There are some people that can do that, they just go talk to people, find a problem, and solve it. That takes a special type of person, one who's only motivated by the "game" of business. They could careless about their passions, what they prefer, they only care about money, they go find a problem, and then they solve it. They could care less if they enjoy the work. If you do that things can happen very fast for you. BUT. Most of us, are driven by our passions. We are not like that, it's not JUST for the money, it's to live a life we love. When you're driven by passion, success requires you to develop a valuable skill within your zone of genius. You'll have to twist, turn, and flop around a bit until you match that with passion with people that want to hire you. That means you just have to get out there and help people, and eventually your niche will pick you. That is, if you're doing the work and pushing forward without the perfect answer. Your niche, your unique selling proposition isn't a course module away, where you fill out yet another GURU's business template. Do you really want to fill out another ICP module?? How many times have you done that now? how many times has it helped? I can't stand those anymore. No! Your niche and unique ability is found in doing work for people, having success, having failures, doing more of this, less of that, and iterating on that until you find your zone.
