Leo, An Idea For Your 2nd Channel (& Actualized YT In General)

[The Renaissance Man]

Idea: Breaking up your long-form video into clips and then releasing the clips of your new long-form video 1 week earlier on your 2nd channel. After one week posting the whole video on the main one as usual.

Benefits I see:

• Traffic to the clips channel, because early access will be very compelling to send us there
• People can get a priming of what's to come, and once the long form video comes out, they've had time to digest some of the notions and can make more of it.
• More videos = more end screens of book list and LP course = mo' money. All without being more pushy at all.
• More videos = multiplied chance to get seen by someone new and have an impact because it's more likely the algo will push one of the vids
• Larger 2nd channel can be a nice backup for many reasons. Safety, and a fresher algorithm where you're not full of inactive subscribers that kill your video performance.
• Could appeal to people who aren't ready for a 3 hour video (but this was discussed in the past already)

Costs:

• Shouldn't be too expensive since it's only a bunch of cuts, and even an editor would be very cheap, especially with a video a month or less. This is it really. I don't think it would hurt the main channel or your message in any way.

Even if you don't care much about growth, I see no costs to this approach.

Extras:

Btw, I also suggest changing the "actualized clips" name, it inherently feels like the worse version of something else, and people won't subscribe. I would call it "Leo Gura" instead.

A cartoon-like or painting-like AI thumbnail with MidJourney would also make the channel feel more unique and compelling, instead of the current Joe Rogan clips-inspired thumbnails of the 2nd channel. I'm thinking of super low-effort solutions that's why I suggested AI.

Thanks for the ideas.

I will mull it over. I don't want to take away from the main channel.

I tried the clips channel and it was not popular and did not pay for itself.

The clips channel did bring tremendous value to me and I think to many others, just saying.

@The Renaissance Man great ideas.
