    Retention Optimization Services Progress Thread

    EXECUTION 
    I feel that, if I have them available for forum members to view, then I should have them available for people on YouTube to view too. It does amaze me that YouTube put the video in front and you recognised me from the forum. That's the power of being consistent with my name and avatar I suppose.

    Retention Optimization Services Progress Thread

    EXECUTION 
    Lol. I was browsing the forum feed and saw the thread title which jumped out at me as I was chatting to my Paddy Galloway notebook last night about creating YouTube Shorts and it mentioned "Retention" : How spooky to see the same word pop up in a thread title less than 12 hours later. I...

    Agreed. They're not all about you finding the best result all of the time, but I think they know there's a fine line they have to walk.

    Which Gem are you referring to? I knocked something up last night and was chatting to it to help script some YouTube Shorts. The amazing bit was I was lying in bed and hour before going to sleep talking to it on my phone via Wispr Flow. I'll write more details up later, or maybe even create...

    Interesting. Last night I unlisted all my videos but put them all back again this morning. If people are finding them naturally and they help them I'll leave them up. I'll start a new channel for the shorts videos I'm going to do.

    I signed up to the paid plan of Wispr Flow a couple of days ago because it's magic and stupid cheap.

    1) I just saw this great comment on one of my videos: 2) I signed up my son and me to VidIQ: He's growing a YouTube shorts channel as one of his homeschooling projects. He's posted every day bar one day for over 4 weeks straight. I want to have more to talk to him about so will do shorts...

    I'd say the algorithms are built to keep us using the platforms, so they can make more money from ads. For most platforms, that means showing content we'd consume. For the longest while they thought that was content posted by people in our social network, then TikTok showed we're more...

    Is this true? If so it's incredible. So incredible I don't believe it at the moment.

    I don't think corporate software will get usurped that easily. I swear larger companies *want* to pay more for software and services so they can complain louder if the system goes down.

    I don't think it was acquired for $30m. It was making $30m ARR, and had a community. Anyway... I've watched 5 minutes of the video. He seems to completely misunderstand the point. He says you can create this in under a day, and the community in another day. Like f*ck you could create...

    I was IT support and I'm under no illusions about creating any complicated SaaS that people would use. I might be able to create an MVP or some simple web app, but if it then started making money, I'd be hiring a software engineer. They might work with AI but I'd want their rigour. Hmm...

    Or doing the marketing for tradesmen? I was initially in IT for 15 years and then for the last 16 years I've been doing marketing for tradesmen, plus other types of businesses. I never liked doing the marketing for SaaS companies, tech startups, or eCommerce.

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I don't think this is a purely technical space. There's lots of business owners hearing how AI can help them but unsure of where to start. A lot are worried about policy and guardrails, especially using automation. In the past two weeks I've showed quite a few people Wispr Flow and NotebookLM...

    This. Especially if they have a feedback loop so that the more data they have about users the more useful their product becomes. Like how YouTube learns our preferences and shows us more of what we like to watch.
