This weekend I read this dumb book which I thought would be like amazing - it's Add a Zero by Rose Han. It's just slop - contrived personal finance advice that she is piggybacking on (Dave Ramsey, Tony Robbins, Ramit Sethi) since she's a youtuber it's just a different angle. Yawn fest for sure - but I thought about it a lot and asked AI - what makes people rich cause it is not the dumb personal finance advice they give to the masses? and it's not hard work , it's not hustle, not anything trite - its just one word. Asymmetry. Asymmetric time, Asymmetric investments. Harmozi in his career invests $1 dollar in ad spend and his return is $11. That is how you get rich.1 hour worked or some minimal ad spend returns many sales or ad revenue or whatever.
So I thought about it really hard, and being broke lol , the best investment we all can make is in content that isn't slop. Free to make , free to publish. Grab Attention, keep them intriguged and entertained then eventually purchases and get them addicted. This isn't just typing a simple request in chat gpt and then hitting publish - it's about going from one tool you pay the 20 bucks for a month - to having access to better ai tools and having an asymetric content strategy and building a content engine and getting that monetized.
So I am going to do that with blisshacker - and I'll try and post as I go. The first thing I needed to figure out was a tech stack and here is what I came out with. Then I'll share the strategies I am using. If you are familiar with Why files - that is the level of content - using George Blackman a famous youtube writer's class on hooks and scriptwriting but training ai to learn from what is popular on youtube and leverageing the training on Content Creator ( class on Yotube shorts, and his AI course which I highly recommend). Blisshacker in its latest iteration , and I've been toying around different ideas but I am going back to what made it amazing - biohacking , life optimization , lateral thinking - think the Tim Ferris, Dave Asprey , etc. but I am going to add something unique by using the Why files narrative format with some additional heavy lifting on the script side.
So here are some tools I am going to use but you may not know about but I think they are awesome.
Fal.aiβ Not just images. It runs 600+ models for images, video, audio, and 3D, infographics etc.β Examples:β’ Turn a text prompt into a short video.β’ Animate a still image into motion.β’ Generate multiple thumbnail designs in seconds.β’ Create a voice-over or audio clip without recording.β Pricing: pennies per request. No monthly fees, no GPUs needed. Cool use: create a lora which essetentially allows the ai to train on your likeness , then for pennies you can create you as iron man flying next to a 747 or riding on a gator wearing crocs. OpenRouterβ Think of it as a gateway to all the major text AIs: GPT, Claude, Llama, Mistral, and more.β Why it matters: youβre not locked into one AI. You can pick cheap models for quick captions, or smarter models for in-depth scripts.β Pricing: also per request.β Catch: itβs an API, which means you need some coding knowledge if youβre using it directly. I am adding this here for the coders - cause eventually to go exponential on content building - you have to agentify and this how you do it. AnythingLLMβ A free desktop/web app that makes OpenRouter and other models easy to use.β Load your notes, PDFs, or past scripts or transcripts of others you think are good β you could use this to be a subject matter expert in an area. It's AI + your personal content - like a digital brain . Abacus.aiβ A pro interface for AI models.β Lets you test, compare, and manage different LLMs without writing code.β Best if you want the power of OpenRouter but with a clean dashboard and tools for experimentation. I am going to use this to see which ai models are good for what . Youtube shorts, Long form etc. Perplexityβ A research-focused AI.β Unlike ChatGPT, it pulls live info with sources.β Great for fact-checking scripts, spotting trending topics, and grabbing stats you can trust.β Example: βWhat are the top TikTok trends this week?β β Perplexity gives you live results with citations. Perplexity is helpful to add the research to the content that will make it powerful. π‘ Here is a quick thought on how to use these tools
- Research with Perplexity to gather trending topics, facts, and stats.
- Drop notes and research into AnythingLLM to brainstorm, outline, or script. Gather snippets from the web and grab transcripts of videos that are popular on youtube from SME (subject Matter Experts ) and now synthesize new stuff.
- use Abacus to figure out what text models work best for the format.
- Send text into Fal.ai to make images, short videos, voices, or animations.
- Publish β with a workflow that costs cents, not hundreds, and keeps you in control of which AI you use.
once you have it down pat use agentic ai and open router to essentially build a 24/7/365 content engine that will out produce digital marketing agencies and manual content creators.
π This stack is flexible, cheap, and covers the entire flow: Idea β Research β Script β Visuals/Video β Post.
So the main key idea - if youtube and other social media have analytics to show you what is popular, and you can grab the transcripts , then why wouldn't you do that and train the ai - so you can then synthesize new stuff that is a blend of whats out there with your insights. Run that agentically, and have a 24/7/365 content factory that isn't slop - cause it will be built on what is popular and sources you pick and ai if trained right can build something new from that information. And now that you add graphics and video - you can literally build whatever you want.
