Step 1: Use the Viral YouTuber Morning Routine

A bad idea with perfect execution will flop.

A good idea with poor execution could go viral.

The simplest path to better video ideas is to spend more time on video ideas.

Volume negates luck.

Spend 10 mins every morning brainstorming.

Step 2: Avoid the Dancing Monkey trap

I know YouTubers with millions of subs who are going broke.

I know YouTubers with thousands of subs who are making $100,000/month.

Not all views are equal. Education > Entertainment

"Educational YouTubers with 10,000 subs are making more money than Entertainment YouTubers with 1,000,000 subs"

Step 3: Provide Insights at Scale

Views + $$$ come after you become a trusted advisor.

You become a trusted advisor by providing insights at scale.

More insights per second → more attention and trust

Step 4: Go Insight Mining

Everyone has insights. Whether you're an expert or not.

Create a note called 'Insight Mining'.

Write down the lessons you've learned recently.

You can look through your notes, or ask "what do I know now that I didn't one year ago?"

"We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom. The world henceforth will be run by synthesizers, people able to put together the right information at the right time, think critically about it, and make important choices wisely." - E.O Wilson

Step 5: Find Viral Packaging

How you say something is more important than what you say.

The packaging is the product.

Look for what's already working, then do the same (but 1% different).

"Design is the only core requirement to be a worldbuilder

That could be designing sentences

Or designing fonts

Or designing products

But it must be about the packaging- above everything- always" - Zach Pogrob
