So if you've been trying to get ahead on YouTube but you've been frustrated because the platform's changing, views are down, and there's a lot of new features, this is the video for you. Because I got Roberto Blake dropping pure game, no fluff. Let's dive into it. You gotta just press record. Roberto, my first question for you is what's the most underrated AI tool or workflow that creators should be using right now? When it comes to ideation,

00:00:22.915 --> 00:00:36.130
you know, I've coined topic title thumbnail and timing. That's been a industry staple. So it depends on what tool you're gonna use to address each of those problems. YouTube has Ask Studio, which most people don't know about, and it's $0.

00:00:36.210 --> 00:00:37.890
So it's a $0 solution.

00:00:38.050 --> 00:01:10.880
That's probably where people could start with YouTube Ask Studio. It goes off of your own data. The limitation is it will not tell you about your competitors or other people in other niches. So then your next option is people would go to the general broad AIs of, like, Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, but that's not gonna be YouTube specific context unless you already have YouTube specific information to give it. So the better option there is to use a tool like either vidIQ, which sponsors you or one of 10 who I've worked with. And so those would probably be your two best tools to do competitor analysis and research to qualify your topics,

00:01:11.365 --> 00:01:18.165
build out your content pillars, or even get inspired for outliers. And then when it comes to titles, you can either use a tool,

00:01:18.645 --> 00:01:23.605
or you could just check your own gut with a tool. And then after that's thumbnails.

00:01:23.605 --> 00:01:24.645
For thumbnails,

00:01:24.645 --> 00:01:30.160
you could go the handcrafted route with some AI supplementation if you're already using Canva

00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:31.280
or Adobe.

00:01:31.440 --> 00:01:41.455
Both of them let you work by hand with AI assisted tools as well, or you could use one of these AI image generators. You could use Firefly. You could use ChatGPT's

00:01:41.455 --> 00:01:51.135
image, uh, two point o. You could be using Nano Banana. You could be doing anything you want there. I would try to your last thumbnail with Tech Stack. For me,

00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:56.240
and the way it's probably gonna go from now on, is I'm combining my handcraft

00:01:56.320 --> 00:01:58.720
with AI for some speedier things.

00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:10.435
I don't do the photo retouching myself anymore even though I could because why am I gonna spend twenty minutes on retouching a photo of mine or even five minutes when it can be done in seconds? So I'm using some of these things for speed,

00:02:10.675 --> 00:02:13.315
and now I just move myself to being an art director

00:02:13.475 --> 00:02:17.795
as if I had a team of people working under me. The retouching person,

00:02:18.195 --> 00:02:31.790
the whatever person. So you're operating inside of Photoshop with Adobe AI tools. Is that your main platform? That's my main platform personally. If I need something really quick on the fly because I already have my own photos, studio headshots

00:02:31.790 --> 00:02:38.675
put into this thing and it knows my YouTube channel, for that, I'm using one of 10. Must have creator tools for

00:02:39.075 --> 00:02:40.835
packaging and getting more views.

00:02:41.075 --> 00:02:49.235
Ask Studio, which is free, and that is already just embedded in the back end. You can start talking to basically AI chat that's connected to your YouTube analytics.

00:02:50.020 --> 00:02:54.660
You're then saying, the problem is though, if you want to actually do competitor analysis,

00:02:55.140 --> 00:02:57.460
you could you could use vidIQ or,

00:02:57.940 --> 00:03:06.385
uh, one of 10. I mean, one of 10, I'm sure, does other stuff as well. But outliers is the big concept Yep. Of one of 10. Right? Absolutely. And so outlier research,

00:03:06.465 --> 00:03:10.625
that was all for you talked about two big problems, ideation, titles.

00:03:11.025 --> 00:03:12.945
But then the second one would be retention

00:03:12.945 --> 00:03:16.945
and storytelling or video editing. I always say that retention is

00:03:17.265 --> 00:03:20.510
structure, script writing, storytelling, and style.

00:03:20.830 --> 00:03:24.830
And I think that AI can help you there. A lot of people try to have it do everything.

00:03:25.310 --> 00:03:29.870
I think that where it can really help you is just kind of even fine tuning

00:03:29.870 --> 00:03:39.005
the structural breakup of your videos. Because I think it's hard for people to just kind of maintain steady beats and energy and break their video idea or concept up into sections.

00:03:39.165 --> 00:03:42.605
The other thing is it could be good for research. It's better actual

00:03:42.685 --> 00:03:43.565
ability

00:03:43.725 --> 00:03:48.050
is to help you figure out the logistics of even executing your video idea

00:03:48.290 --> 00:04:03.185
in terms of what it's gonna take in terms of the physical ability to do the idea that you had in your head and to plan out the execution of it and to give you a procedural for that. So what would you say to someone who's listening? They've heard of some different AI tools, but they're feeling overwhelmed by AI tools.

00:04:03.505 --> 00:04:20.210
If they're part time and they're like, okay. Do I use Gemini, or do I use Claude for my writing, or do I use ChadGBT? And how many pro accounts do I need, and I'm trying to budget, what advice would you give somebody? I would tell everybody to actually see if they're even maxing out the limitations of the free accounts at $0.

00:04:20.290 --> 00:04:22.050
And then instead of feeling overwhelmed,

00:04:22.050 --> 00:04:22.930
recontextualize

00:04:22.930 --> 00:04:34.375
how you're thinking about this AI gives you the ability to compete with someone who has a team. So all these different individual tools, stop thinking about tools in your tech stack that are overwhelming you and treat them like independent

00:04:34.455 --> 00:04:45.740
freelancers or contractors. Treat each of these tools like a team member now. What is one AI tool or AI workflow that has saved you the most time this last year? I would probably say

00:04:46.060 --> 00:04:48.460
that it's Adobe Podcast Enhance,

00:04:48.700 --> 00:05:13.750
but also that's built into Adobe Premiere Pro as well. Isn't it also free? So that one's free if you long you have an email address. So is Adobe Firefly for generating images. Adobe Firefly is free. If you have an email sign up. Now there are limited credits for the free account just like all these other things, but there's a free tier of it. But so I would tell people for that instead of, oh, it's gonna do all the work and do my thumbnail for free. Think about this. It could just actually finally do some of the photo retouching highlights and do the relighting.

00:05:13.750 --> 00:05:27.395
And even just doing that would make your thumbnail, like, a 100 times better. What would be their fastest way to use simple photos on their phone and to retouch, relight them for as cheap as possible? I would go into that or even into

00:05:28.115 --> 00:05:29.555
Gemini or ChatGPT,

00:05:29.555 --> 00:05:34.595
the even the free tiers of those and one of these image generators. And I would basically just tell it to

00:05:35.075 --> 00:05:40.115
retouch your photo and to focus on sharpening the eyes, hair, lips,

00:05:40.630 --> 00:05:42.870
and nose. And I would tell it to

00:05:43.190 --> 00:05:48.630
bump up contrast and just make this more attractive while not structurally

00:05:48.950 --> 00:05:49.830
altering

00:05:49.830 --> 00:06:02.205
my face or anything about me. So do you think have you looked at your viewership? Do you think your largest viewership's on TV? Everyone's saying that's where the viewership is. I mean, isn't it true though it's still distributed across multiplatform?

00:06:02.205 --> 00:06:04.445
The YouTube of 2016

00:06:04.445 --> 00:06:06.765
is not the YouTube of 2026.

00:06:06.845 --> 00:06:09.510
In 2016, you remember this, Sean, Streaming

00:06:09.510 --> 00:06:17.750
was not a big deal on YouTube, and the streaming culture hadn't exploded yet with all these people like, and

00:06:17.750 --> 00:06:23.670
so on and so forth. Same thing for short form. Yeah. Short form platforms exist, but Vine went under in, like, 2016.

00:06:24.235 --> 00:06:43.280
So YouTube was a monopoly of long form content and was the monopoly of Internet tension. If we're gonna watch lean in content that's visually stimulating, we wanna watch it on the biggest screen we have, and that's our sixty, seventy inch TV, not our five inch phone. The shift and the schism in YouTube happens because device

00:06:43.760 --> 00:06:48.080
context now really matters in terms of what's the best experience

00:06:48.640 --> 00:06:49.920
on every device,

00:06:50.320 --> 00:06:55.175
and then that changes what formats and what content people preference on those devices,

00:06:55.335 --> 00:06:58.535
when they watch, and how they watch. And YouTube also

00:06:58.695 --> 00:07:15.780
changes what it serves you based on what device you're watching on during what time of day you're watching on. So what would you say are your best practices for anybody that wants to get results with live streaming? One, treat it not like an afterthought and not like a throwaway disposable video.

00:07:16.260 --> 00:07:23.365
When you do live streams, keep replay value in mind of people replaying and rewatching it. Keep repurposing

00:07:23.365 --> 00:07:24.165
value

00:07:24.325 --> 00:07:28.085
for multiple formats and multiple platforms in mind from the very beginning.

00:07:28.405 --> 00:07:36.920
Keep reaction value in terms of having things in your content that other people could react to, clip, and share on your behalf,

00:07:37.400 --> 00:08:06.570
and then also have reshare value for other people to say, you have to watch this thing that I watched. You have to give me your feedback, your opinion, or we have to watch this thing, and we have to debate about it, whatever it is, or, oh, you guys see this funny moment or clip. So you want those four r's in place when you're streaming. What size is it okay to start streaming? Day zero. Day zero. Even with nobody there? Especially with no one there because that's how you're gonna get in your reps and your practice. You don't want people there

00:08:06.890 --> 00:08:19.785
when you're doing your dressed rehearsal, if we're being honest. I'm very bullish on this concept of device context is actually gonna be more important than format, and YouTube is kind of, even with this, proving it by universalizing

00:08:19.785 --> 00:08:27.065
the format to say, you choose what the best experience to consume this content in is for you. Future looks bright on live streaming.

00:08:27.225 --> 00:08:46.640
And and then you also drop in this nugget of format is a strategy, but you're saying context? Device context. Device context. Planning your content, knowing how it's gonna be perceived and consumed on devices. From a content strategy standpoint, I think that you should actually be diversifying even within your content pillars across

00:08:46.825 --> 00:09:01.785
your formats and device pillars in terms of, okay. Here's my long form, and I know it's gonna be on people's TV screens, computers, and phones. And so regardless of what device they're on, here's how I'm gonna make the video, structure the video for a lean

00:09:01.990 --> 00:09:03.270
back experience.

00:09:03.270 --> 00:09:08.710
If you are the kind of person who is making content where you have that going on,

00:09:09.110 --> 00:09:53.285
then your community is gonna love it whenever you go live because now it's a special event. Whether you're doing that weekly or twice a month or once a month, it's now a special event. And they're also gonna want the clips and the shorts from that special event the same way that they watch clips out there from live events and when people go and do tours, concerts, or what have you. So you're setting yourself up for multi format, and you're being intentional. And so there's plenty of stuff for them to watch on any device in any format. What do you think about the channel collab feature? Does it lead to more views? I everybody I've seen using it. Even people use it on their own channels. Right. Between two of their own channels. It's been massively successful for them. I've seen people finally scale their second channels

00:09:53.365 --> 00:10:13.625
to start getting views on the level of their main channels. I've seen people revive channels with this. Um, it's been functionally very well. And I think it brought collaborations back to YouTube in a big way that we hadn't seen before because between the pandemic and, like, cancel culture collabs seemed to go away from the fabric of what, you know, made YouTube great,

00:10:13.865 --> 00:10:18.745
and now it's back. So we're talking about all kinds of, uh, new things.

00:10:19.065 --> 00:10:22.185
You dropped a bunch of live streaming game. There's some new live streaming features,

00:10:24.380 --> 00:10:25.020
And

00:10:25.420 --> 00:10:29.500
I would love to talk about Shorts. There's a massive opinion. Do you think

00:10:30.060 --> 00:10:30.940
Shorts

00:10:31.420 --> 00:10:33.740
hurt people's channels and killed channel growth?

00:10:33.900 --> 00:10:36.060
It depends on how they're executed,

00:10:36.575 --> 00:10:41.695
and it depends on whether the channels actually had momentum or not.

00:10:42.015 --> 00:10:49.135
Uh, but what I will tell you is this. Another thing with, um, shorts and where I don't feel it hurts channels is

00:10:50.020 --> 00:10:55.380
a lot of people's expectation of it and the reason it feels like it's hurting and underperforming

00:10:55.540 --> 00:10:58.580
is they're treating it like a derivative

00:10:58.660 --> 00:11:20.380
of YouTube long form instead of treating it like its own thing. It has its own best practices. You also don't need to put in the same editing criteria into a short that you do a long form because it's a different audience. The structure is different. The even the hook, like, with a regular YouTube video, you have eight to fifteen seconds to hook somebody. With a short, it's two to five.

00:11:20.700 --> 00:11:27.340
The structural difference in short form from long form is radically different, so you have to build a short form mindset

00:11:27.340 --> 00:11:42.205
for creating content. You can't just piggyback off all the best practices of long form. That's hurting people a lot. There's also the output frequency. The optimum output frequency for short form, you can tell people never bother to try Instagram

00:11:42.605 --> 00:11:50.460
or Instagram Stories or Snapchat or TikTok and that they just started short form from a YouTube long form mindset,

00:11:50.940 --> 00:11:57.500
Sean, the output necessary to really truly be successful with Shorts, unless you're a great cinematographer

00:11:57.500 --> 00:12:00.540
like Max the meat guy, and he's just a unicorn,

00:12:01.100 --> 00:12:01.980
unless you're that,

00:12:02.795 --> 00:12:18.075
the output amount is really a minimum of three to five shorts a day, and the optimal amount would be five to 12 a day spread out over thirty minutes to an hour of releasing each short. We talked earlier about second channels.

00:12:18.420 --> 00:12:23.620
There seems to be a buzz right now. It's still probably underground for 99% of listeners,

00:12:24.020 --> 00:12:26.900
but, like, you could call it a second channel strategy.

00:12:26.980 --> 00:12:28.420
So break down

00:12:28.740 --> 00:12:33.780
your understanding of a second channel. Old school, people had sometimes, like, main channel, vlog channel.

00:12:34.235 --> 00:12:38.635
Second channel might have been a hobby or an expression. But what we're talking about is there's like

00:12:39.515 --> 00:12:42.795
it's like a strategy people are doing. Think of it like this.

00:12:43.515 --> 00:12:44.395
They're

00:12:44.715 --> 00:12:46.555
expanding the franchise,

00:12:47.035 --> 00:12:48.795
but they're not changing the category.

00:12:49.580 --> 00:13:03.500
So what they're doing is instead of going, oh, I had the main channel, and now here's the personal channel for you to get to know me as a person. No. What they're doing is they're just giving you another way to interact with exactly the same thing, the same value proposition

00:13:03.580 --> 00:13:04.700
as the first channel,

00:13:05.245 --> 00:13:06.125
But now

00:13:06.365 --> 00:13:07.645
they're just changing

00:13:07.965 --> 00:13:15.245
the style or format of the output, and that's why it's just this higher signal because it's moving away from what appeals to the commons

00:13:15.325 --> 00:13:23.540
to appealing to the denser part of their audience. And it's a franchise that expands from the one instead of the 1,000 true fans philosophy,

00:13:24.260 --> 00:13:26.260
what if you had 100,000

00:13:26.260 --> 00:13:31.620
real players? So what do I mean about real players? Play long term games with long term people.

00:13:32.595 --> 00:13:37.315
So the basis of the 1,000 true fans, those are your loyal Rider Day super fans.

00:13:37.635 --> 00:13:40.355
Now what if you had an extension of that

00:13:40.755 --> 00:13:46.915
that 10 x is twice over? That's how you get to a 100,000. Why do you need a 100,000? That seems like a big number.

00:13:47.790 --> 00:13:52.510
Because even if people are real players in intentionality and they're aligned on values

00:13:52.590 --> 00:13:56.350
and they recognize the value and the quality of what you're providing,

00:13:56.830 --> 00:14:01.150
they may not be ready yet at scale, but here's the key. So it's a lower level than a true fan?

00:14:02.055 --> 00:14:04.535
No. It's actually a true fan,

00:14:05.175 --> 00:14:11.415
but they aren't at the level of commitment that turns them into your highest ticket customer.

00:14:11.575 --> 00:14:14.455
But they are someone who can qualify to be a customer.

00:14:14.950 --> 00:14:44.770
In fact, this content is qualifying them further and taking them to where they can afford the high ticket or to go deeper or the next investment because, alright, they already know you because of the main surface level content. They've gone now here where it's like you do lower lift. You don't have to do as much to attract them. You're now in retention mode. It's like, okay. The main channel attracted you. This thing, though, retains you because you've graduated to where you're absorbing more value. You qualify for higher value, but that doesn't mean that you qualify

00:14:45.010 --> 00:14:57.810
for higher products yet. But you could. So when is somebody ready for the second channel strategy? I give the advice to a lot of beginners, like, when they're just starting to not start two channels because it's hard enough to run one. It would seem that a lot of people

00:14:58.975 --> 00:15:09.375
that are that are more professionals, they might have teams or they're delegating to editors or some different things. Who's ready for a second channel strategy? If you have people on payroll already

00:15:09.535 --> 00:15:20.460
and you don't feel like they're absolutely working themselves to the bone and they're already on payroll, or you've optimized your system so well to where they have all this extra time and they're like, oh,

00:15:20.940 --> 00:15:34.685
boss. So what put a little bit more quality and craft into what I'm move them to a second channel. Go ahead and use a second channel and then say, guys, I don't need to squeeze 10 or 20 more quality out of this because it's not gonna double

00:15:34.765 --> 00:15:41.005
our view counts. But if I take that same leftover energy and we just have more content going out and we have it on another channel here,

00:15:41.740 --> 00:15:51.900
then we're gonna literally double their our money, and I can pay you more because now we'll just have more content going out the door, and you don't have to put in the same level of effort to this, but the same intention.

00:15:52.220 --> 00:15:56.700
As one of the OGs in the creator economy who's gone through the ups and downs of life,

00:15:57.475 --> 00:15:58.275
energy,

00:15:58.275 --> 00:16:00.755
moving Yep. Challenges, consistency,

00:16:01.395 --> 00:16:12.515
how do you think about being consistent? I know I mean, I follow your stuff online. So you had mentioned you now you're building AI software. You have a live show. You've had certain seasons where you've been more consistent.

00:16:13.500 --> 00:16:16.140
Multiple channels, short form, long form,

00:16:16.700 --> 00:16:17.900
live streaming.

00:16:17.980 --> 00:16:28.220
What is your current perspective for yourself personally? How are you staying consistent? For the solo and working class content creator, one of the reasons I'm so passionate and bullish about AI

00:16:27.905 --> 00:16:38.785
is that it can get people through those tough seasons if they can optimize, if they can put out more content, if they can have more momentum. For the people who can't afford or haven't gotten to that team level yet, AI

00:16:38.865 --> 00:16:55.330
is the competitive advantage for them, and it really can scale that working class content career who only has ten hours a week, twenty hours a week. It's really there for them. For that person, I'm not telling you to take yourself out of your content, but if there are things that it allows you

00:16:55.695 --> 00:17:04.495
to show up in the way that you need to instead of not at all so I would say, from my own experience, the things that have helped me in times of consistency

00:17:04.655 --> 00:17:09.680
is you rise or fall to the efficiency of your systems, but also your support.

00:17:09.840 --> 00:17:27.675
The thing that will help you be consistent is you have to have a structure, orderly life. But if you don't have the structure and boundaries, if you don't have systems so that when you are starting something, you're not starting from scratch every single time with your very limited resource of time and your limited bandwidth, energy, attention,

00:17:28.235 --> 00:17:31.355
you know, especially if you're a working class creator who has a family,

00:17:31.835 --> 00:17:34.155
then you have all these competing priorities.

00:17:34.395 --> 00:17:35.995
So what's so wrong

00:17:36.460 --> 00:17:45.820
about using a supplemental system? It's not about outsourcing all of it. It's about what about making up the difference because your battery's running low? How's that unreasonable?

00:17:45.820 --> 00:17:59.065
Why not be kind to yourself and do that? So that's my point of view that loops everything we talked about. It was a lot of threads to connect. I think I brought it all back together. So if I want to be more consistent and when I want to be, it's systems,

00:17:59.065 --> 00:18:02.345
structures, support, and strategy. If you have those things nailed,

00:18:02.930 --> 00:18:06.290
then you're gonna do well. You mentioned clippers earlier.

00:18:06.290 --> 00:18:08.370
This is maybe a new concept for people.

00:18:08.690 --> 00:18:10.690
Clippers as a

00:18:11.650 --> 00:18:12.370
type

00:18:12.530 --> 00:18:14.050
of creative,

00:18:14.050 --> 00:18:15.170
a whole network.

00:18:15.250 --> 00:18:18.050
Explain the concept. You know, I think it was an interesting one.

00:18:18.635 --> 00:19:04.310
There's there's the Logan Paul impulsive podcast. Oh, he had Joel Osteen on. And he was like, hey, Joel. You should get some clippers. So Logan Paul told Joel Osteen, do you have clippers? He goes, what's a clipper? Like, you're doing a great job of meeting them where they are. You know? But you we gotta get the clippers going for you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's really clip on me. Telling you. The clip wrong. Y'all gotta help me. Yeah. Y'all gotta help me. So, um, a clipper would be there's a couple ways to approach this. For streamers, they've been doing this for a while, and they tasked their mods with being clippers and finding the best parts of their livestream, chopping those up to clips, and distributing them, um, not only for the On different channels. Different channels. So they're distributing the clips Not just on the creator's account. Yeah. But they're also what a lot of them do is they say, hey. I just want more people to see me, and I want more distribution. I want infinite scale. And,

00:19:04.630 --> 00:19:05.110
therefore,

00:19:05.670 --> 00:19:10.150
what the creator is doing is paying them for every 100,000

00:19:10.150 --> 00:19:10.950
views

00:19:11.190 --> 00:19:13.715
that they're that they generate,

00:19:13.875 --> 00:19:15.075
like aggregate. So

00:19:15.875 --> 00:19:17.075
freelance

00:19:17.395 --> 00:19:18.675
video editors

00:19:19.155 --> 00:19:21.315
work with channels of any size

00:19:21.875 --> 00:19:37.820
and But usually the more popular ones. But per view. Yep. So there are freelance clippers that work for MrBeast. Mhmm. I mean, you'll see people in the comments that are like, yeah. I got a thousand dollars. An army of them. Yeah. There's an army of them. So people doing it at this at the highest level, there's some some entrepreneurs

00:19:37.820 --> 00:19:40.380
that maybe have money they really wanna spend on personal branding,

00:19:40.985 --> 00:19:42.425
spend $10,000

00:19:42.425 --> 00:19:45.865
a month, a $100,000 a month. Imagine spending $50

00:19:45.865 --> 00:20:03.700
for a 100,000 views, and they're real views. They're they're organic, all algorithmic driven because you're like Is that the I mean, the numbers range, but $50 for 50,000 views sounds like a great deal. $50 for a 100,000 views. $50 for a 100,000 views. That is a real number, and that's on the higher end in some cases.

00:20:03.860 --> 00:20:16.455
In some cases. There are some people who get more than that, but Where do you find Some people get more. Some people get Usually, people from their own community. So imagine that your favorite creator puts out a call for Clippers or they go through a website

00:20:16.935 --> 00:21:00.730
where oh, and that's my favorite one of my favorite creators. And so imagine you're a fan of Logan Paul or I show speed or KSI or mister beast, and you realize, alright. I'm gonna be given permission to make a mister beast or a Logan Paul fan account, and I get to keep all the revenue I generate, and I'll get paid for performance. So for people that are hearing about this the first time, it it could be argued that, like, an individual, like a Luke Belmar. But we'll talk about I think he might have been spending 10 k to a $100,000 a month in Clippers. And so think about it like this. If you're getting billions of views of attention and you I you and I know that with short form especially, because we know now we have the data now. YouTube didn't put this data out there before, but now we know we see new viewers, casual viewers, returning viewers.

00:21:00.890 --> 00:21:07.555
If you're doing like, if you have a 100 kids working for you that each are pulling in

00:21:07.875 --> 00:21:09.795
a million views

00:21:10.195 --> 00:21:11.235
a month,

00:21:11.635 --> 00:21:15.155
you're getting a 100,000,000 views a month Yeah. For

00:21:15.490 --> 00:21:18.290
not a lot of money. You can't buy

00:21:18.610 --> 00:21:22.930
regular ad distribution and get a 100,000,000 views for $5,000

00:21:22.930 --> 00:21:25.810
a month from Google. Big key is to fuel

00:21:26.690 --> 00:21:29.810
the clippers is not just the content a,

00:21:30.465 --> 00:21:46.050
but content that's clippable and these now some of these clippers might be able to make magic happen better than you could have ever imagined, but nevertheless, it's still predicated on the input. Exactly. Garbage in, garbage out. So then you already spent money. See, this is just long tail extending

00:21:46.290 --> 00:21:47.810
your investment.

00:21:47.890 --> 00:21:50.210
You put money into the beautiful studio,

00:21:50.450 --> 00:21:54.530
the work that you're doing. Maybe you have a cohost podcast locations,

00:21:54.930 --> 00:22:09.565
um, whatever your interviews, whatever you're doing. You put money into that. Now you're expand you're extending the lifespan of that investment because you're scaling it past just what your own account generates now. Yeah. Because now you have an army of a hundred hundred fifty clippers

00:22:09.565 --> 00:22:20.390
out here. You put a couple thousand bucks. And for these kids, it's good money for them. And they like doing it, and it's building their portfolio. And they can be working for multiple people, and they can gain this distribution. They could be using OpusClip,

00:22:20.390 --> 00:22:32.515
for example, and they could be having five, six, seven accounts each themselves. So, like, yeah, you have a 100 clippers. Every one of those clippers for all you know has 10 accounts because that's how they're getting you the aggregate of their views. Yeah. Yeah. Do so many outputs

00:22:32.995 --> 00:22:44.010
that it would be unreasonable for you to fail. We already said that short form, the optimal for it is, like, 10 plus a day if you're really gonna go hard. These kids are money hungry and incentivized

00:22:44.010 --> 00:23:06.000
to do that and to have multiple accounts. You could do 10 a day on 10 accounts. So now you have a 100 kids putting out a 100 videos each a day. Yeah. And they either perform or they don't because that's how they get paid. Let's say because they all wanna make some decent money and you're paying $50 for, uh, a 100,000 views, all of them wanna get $500.

00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:15.120
So all of them have a real incentive to try to get you, like, a million views every month each. So now you have a 100,000,000 views on the line in the pipeline.

00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:15.840
Sean,

00:23:16.575 --> 00:23:29.935
what percentage of that, if you have any kind of reasonably priced mid to high ticket offer, do you need to convert out of a 100,000,000 views? How many of what percentage of that do you need to convert to make real money? So you take a 100,000,000 views

00:23:30.320 --> 00:23:34.160
multiplied by point zero one is a million. People

00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:48.305
would be the per yeah. That would potentially convert on something. Let's take it two zeros down to 10,000 customers generated off of a 100,000,000 views. Like, that's, like, barely this thing's barely working. Okay? So that's, like, not even

00:23:48.625 --> 00:23:59.650
point 1%. It's, like, um, you know, a fraction of that, but still 10,000 customers. If you sell anything at all in the world, you are doing just fine. And

00:23:59.970 --> 00:24:04.290
the sheer volume and scale of attention that that can now backchannel

00:24:04.290 --> 00:24:17.755
to your main content in the first place, if even, um, a percentage of that, a mill 1% of that translated back to your own main channel's long form, you just add a million views to your pipeline.

00:24:18.155 --> 00:24:22.875
If you have, uh, even halfway decent RPM on YouTube,

00:24:23.515 --> 00:24:25.115
you just made profit

00:24:25.720 --> 00:24:29.960
off the money you spent for the clipping distribution, and that's at a 1%

00:24:30.280 --> 00:24:33.000
back channel conversion rate to long form views.

00:24:33.080 --> 00:24:38.760
Number one. Clipping industrial complex. The clipping industrial complex, knowing what's happening in the creator economy is number two.

00:24:39.845 --> 00:24:59.025
You could think about applying that, and everything's, like, factors of scale. OpusClip, which, by the way, you know, we've worked with OpusClip in the past, but it's one of our favorite softwares.
