Yesterday I posted a potential icon for my new community. I thought it was pretty cool. The majority didn't. I have to admit it didn't feel good. And this post isnt really about the logo, I'll be fine 🙂 its just to show you that you're not alone. And it reminded me of countless other videos and posts that I've made on social that made me feel the exact same way. I wanted to delete the poll to be honest. But I didn't. Because that wouldn't have be fair to the many people that took the time to vote and comment on the post. I learned a lot. I think that's the key. The comments were quite insightful. Thank you btw 🙏 You have to understand that more than anything, social media, community, posting, etc... is first and foremost a place to learn, to gain insights. The profits only come after the insights and learnings. You can't get those insights if you don't post it, if you delete everything you post. It's not about winning every time time. Winning comes after losing. So just get those loses over with already so you can win.

In this video I'll show you how to automatically generate videos and captions in multiple languages. I use Make(.com), Google Translate, ChatGPT Whisper, ElevenLabs and JSON2VIDEO. I’ll cover advanced content automation, including... ✅ How to build every step of the automation ✅ Create a cloned voice for the translations ✅ How to store the final videos in Google Drive Here is the DOCUMENT you can cut/paste from to build the automation.

Hey Guys, I'd love to jump on your podcast to talk content creation, production, distribution, etc. If you have a slot and are interested in having me, I'd love to talk 🙏 Drop a comment below or feel free to DM me.

So I'm constantly reminded in the pursuit of creating content that you need to be patient. Especially if you're always trying to optimize it so it takes less time. It can become a bad addiction. Obviously I'm passionate about the different ways to reduce time, repurpose, automate etc. But I'm still always reminded how quality is so important. As I approach 10K subscribers on YouTube I can attribute it to 1 thing. Good content. Not to automation. My good videos get views, my bad ones do not. My good videos get subscribers, my bad ones do not. So be careful about optimizing too much, and be patient with putting in the time. When I put in 3 to 4 days (in total with research, building, recording) those videos have always done really well. And it's not always for the video itself, a lot of that time is learning something new, innovating. So that has value well beyond the video itself. Yesterday I recorded a video and I knew it was done poorly. I almost just sent it to my editor knowing it was subpar. I had spent an hour+ recording it. I DID NOT want to do it again. But, I reminded myself that its not really worth publishing a bad video. So I did, I rerecorded it. I did it in a 3rd the time, so that was nice. And I know it will be solid. So be patient with yourself. Optimization is important but not at the expense of a good video. 👍
