Hey Dana. I know you do a lot of videos on youtube with voiceovers for your books. I've noticed in an author group im in, a largish number of people have mentioned that they have been demonetized on Youtube as the content is not considered "original" - if you have a static image/a video that repeats. Just wondering if you are having issues or if you have a plan for this? (Seems a bit dickish of youtube lol) It was something I was considering but as it takes time to build an audience im not sure if its worth it if you are likely to demonetized?

Yes - I asked Claude to review what I just did and create a post.... so it's whatever - but better than me typing it all out... Just did something cool with Claude that I wanted to share with you all... The Challenge: I wanted to figure out which book concepts would perform best on my YouTube audiobook channel AND align with current market trends. The Process: Step 1: Deep Dive into YouTube Analytics - Exported my channel performance data (views, watch time, CTR, engagement) - Identified patterns: which genres, tropes, and formats were crushing it - Found my surprise winners (some genres I didn't expect to dominate) Step 2: Cross-Reference with Market Data - Used my K-lytics genre reports (I have reports on 15+ genres) - Claude analyzed the intersection of MY audience's preferences + current market signals - Found the sweet spot between what's trending and what MY viewers actually consume Step 3: Concept Development - Asked Claude to generate 12 book concepts based on both data sets - Specified format: Title, Genre, Heat Level, 5 Tropes (comma-separated) - Got concepts that hit my proven winners while tapping into market demand The Results: 12 book concepts that are: ✅ Proven to resonate with my existing audience ✅ Aligned with current market trends ✅ Ready to develop with confidence (not just guessing) Key Takeaway: Your channel analytics are MARKET RESEARCH. If you're putting audiobooks on YouTube, you're sitting on data that tells you exactly what your audience wants. What You Need: - Your YouTube analytics (export to spreadsheet) - Genre market reports (K-lytics, Publisher Rocket, etc.) - Claude or another AI to help spot patterns The Magic: Combining YOUR data with MARKET data = concepts with built-in audiences Anyone else mining their platform analytics for book ideas? What's your process? 👇
