My Favourite Things This Week

🧰 YouTube System I’m Building

How We Generated 100+ Ideas in 24 Hours: A Content Creator’s Guide - What if there was a way to generate a hundred video ideas in a day? No magic, no overpromise - just a practical, effective system. That's exactly what my new Idea Generation System offers. I had an absolute marathon of a day with a client a few weeks back and in just one day, we've come up with 16 different repeatable series and a whopping 100+ video ideas. These aren’t random brainstorming ideas either - these are research-backed, designed-to-click concepts that we can't wait to bring to life.

This system is not about constantly inventing something new for every upload. It's about understanding what works in your niche, adding your unique touch, and, crucially, making it repeatable.

Viewers often appreciate consistency and familiarity but with a fresh take each time. The success of creators like Mr. Beast and Dream is a testament to this, they've cracked the code as viewers flock to their channels because they know what to expect - the excitement of a 10-minute gameshow challenge with a grand cash prize, or the thrill of a Minecraft speedrun extending beyond 45 minutes with Dream’s content. They've found their winning formula, and they stick to it, securing 60M+ views on every video.

In a few weeks, I'll be sharing more about this system on my YouTube channel. The focus will be on breaking down your niche, finding what videos perform in that niche, applying your unique advantage, and, importantly, making your content repeatable. It’s a methodical approach to creating content that can resonate with your audience.

So, if you're interested in taking a fresh perspective on your content creation process, consider subscribing to my YouTube channel. This system may seriously help you when leveling up your channel.

📖 News Article I’m Reading

Revolutionize Your YouTube Content with AI-Powered Dubbing - YouTube just announced a new feature that is set to revolutionize everyone’s content creation process - AI-powered dubbing. This new development brings the power of Aloud to your YouTube content.

Here's a quick summary of what you can expect from this feature:

• Ease of Dubbing: The AI-powered tool makes it easier for you to dub your videos in different languages, expanding your reach to a global audience.

• Transcription and Translation: The tool first transcribes your video, providing a transcription that you can review and edit. It then translates and produces the dub, streamlining your content creation process.

• Broad Testing: YouTube is already testing this tool with hundreds of creators. Current language support includes English, Spanish, and Portuguese, with more languages to be added in the future.

• Future Developments: YouTube is working on enhancing this feature to make translated audio tracks sound like the creator’s voice, with more expression and lip-syncing capabilities. These features are planned for 2024.

I’m super excited to see how the platform will change once this is rolled out to every creator. The fact you’ll be able to have viewers and potentially hundreds of thousands of fans in another country who don’t even speak your language is just insane! I expect the views of popular English-speaking YouTubers to soar even more as their content becomes accessible to those who can’t speak English.

YouTube scammer sentenced to prison after making $23m in false royalties - Ft's essential to stay informed about the challenges and threats that we face as content creators. One such threat has recently been highlighted in a significant case involving YouTube royalties.

Jose Teran, the mastermind behind an elaborate YouTube royalties scam, has been sentenced to nearly six years in prison after making a staggering $23 million from false royalty claims on YouTube videos with copyrighted music. His company, MediaMuv, targeted unmonetized songs, primarily in the Latino market, and used YouTube's systems to secure the cash. The company claimed full royalties for master recordings or publishing, effectively becoming the rights holder in YouTube's eyes.

Teran's operations were extensive, employing eight individuals to search for unclaimed royalties and partnering with another company to create a deceptive facade. Interestingly, the victims of the scam, primarily musicians and companies, had no idea it was happening due to their lack of access to YouTube's monitoring systems.

This incident underscores the urgent need for platforms like YouTube to enhance their systems and protocols to prevent such fraudulent activities. As someone who has fallen victim to these false claims in the past, along with many others I know, I hope that this case serves as a wake-up call for YouTube to take stronger actions against such deceptive practices in the future.

Thanks for reading, if you want to reach out to me, just send a tweet to @WhiffenYT. Have a wonderful weekend!
