[0:00] On May 22nd, YouTube announced the
[0:02] biggest update ever. And what this
[0:04] update did is that it made YouTube fair
[0:06] for everybody. Going forward,
[0:08] subscribers don't matter. The history of
[0:10] your YouTube channel doesn't matter. And
[0:12] the age of your YouTube channel no
[0:14] longer matters. So, if you've been
[0:16] thinking of starting a YouTube channel,
[0:17] it's time to stop being a [ __ ] It's
[0:19] now or never, bro. I mean, your your
[0:21] odds have never been better than they
[0:23] are today. And again, it's all thanks to
[0:25] this update. So, in this video, I'm
[0:26] going to tell you what these updates
[0:27] were and how you, as a small YouTuber or
[0:30] a beginner, can take full advantage of
[0:31] it. But first, if you don't know who I
[0:33] am, my name is Romero. I've been running
[0:35] Faceless YouTube channels since 2018.
[0:37] Since then, I've gotten hundreds of
[0:38] millions of views and I've generated
[0:40] over $2 million in just YouTube ad
[0:43] revenue. I'm also the first person to
[0:44] discover this and to publicly announce
[0:46] the new YouTube algorithm update. And I
[0:49] announced this 6 months ago. Keep in
[0:51] mind, YouTube publicly said it a few
[0:53] days ago.
[0:55] But Google is now heavily leaning
[0:57] towards YouTube videos as sources for
[1:00] these AI overviews. And this is Google's
[1:03] objective, right? They want to make
[1:04] YouTube the go-to source for everything
[1:07] on the internet.
[1:08] >> We're also bringing this conversational
[1:09] AI to two more products. First, ask
[1:12] YouTube. People come to YouTube every
[1:14] day to ask a lot of questions.
[1:17] >> And together, they created something
[1:19] called C2PA. And the purpose of this
[1:22] stamp is that it tells platforms what
[1:24] edits have been made to your video. For
[1:26] example, hey, this video was created
[1:28] with a Sony camera and hey, this video
[1:30] contains images created with MidJourney.
[1:33] We are now going a step further and
[1:35] adding content credentials verification
[1:38] across products. This will show you if
[1:40] the origin of the content was AI or a
[1:43] camera and if it's been edited with
[1:45] generative AI tools.
[1:47] Because in my opinion, what Google is
[1:49] trying to do is that they're trying to
[1:51] go from a search engine to an answer
[1:54] engine. And they're using Gemini to do
[1:56] that.
[1:56] >> Bringing AI overviews and AI mode into
[1:58] one seamless AI search experience so you
[2:01] can flow effortlessly from your question
[2:03] to your response on the main search
[2:04] results page.
[2:07] >> So, what's this AI detector that YouTube
[2:09] is using? Well, I mentioned it a few
[2:11] months ago in one of my YouTube videos.
[2:12] It's called Synth ID. And what Synth ID
[2:15] is is a watermark. a watermark that is
[2:18] so small that it's invisible to the
[2:19] human eye.
[2:20] >> Three years ago, we launched Synth ID,
[2:22] our watermark that is invisible to the
[2:24] naked eye.
[2:25] >> So, since 11 Labs, for example, that
[2:27] doesn't have synth ID. It's not a Google
[2:29] product. Synth ID, they're going to be
[2:31] selling it. All of the new companies
[2:32] that are coming in the future, if they
[2:34] want to make media with AI, they're
[2:36] going to have to have synth ID.
[2:37] >> And today, I'm thrilled to announce that
[2:40] OpenAI, Cacao, and Lean Labs are
[2:42] adopting Synth ID, too. Synth ID is
[2:46] going to become I don't know if this is
[2:47] the correct phrase but legally binding
[2:50] the quote unquote correct way. Meaning
[2:52] that from here YouTube can demonetize
[2:54] channels that create AI generated
[2:57] content but don't use Google products
[2:59] because again synth ID is only going to
[3:01] be for Google products like
[3:02] >> great to see the cross industry
[3:04] collaboration. We're looking forward to
[3:06] expanding to more partners and setting
[3:09] the standard of transparency for the AI
[3:11] era.
[3:12] >> And no I am not a Google employee. I do
[3:14] not work for YouTube. I just do this
[3:15] [ __ ] for a living. Anyways, here are the
[3:18] four things you have to do uh going
[3:20] forward. Fix number one, you have to
[3:22] start marking your videos as altered
[3:24] content. Now, let me explain this. If
[3:27] you're like me and you use 11 Labs to
[3:29] voice commentate your videos, now you
[3:31] have to tell YouTube. And that's because
[3:33] on May 19th, Google confirmed that 11
[3:35] Labs was now going to start embedding
[3:38] synth ID to every audio generated. Now,
[3:40] for those of you that don't know, Synth
[3:42] ID is Google's invisible watermark. Not
[3:45] only does it work for AI generated
[3:47] images, but now it works for audio
[3:49] files, meaning that every audio file you
[3:51] create with 11 Labs now carries a synth
[3:54] ID watermark. And no, you cannot fool
[3:57] YouTube by changing the pitch of the
[3:59] voice over. Okay? They're going to know
[4:01] the watermark cannot be removed. And if
[4:03] you fail to disclose that your voice is
[4:05] AI generated, your YouTube channel will
[4:07] be demonetized. If you're not monetized
[4:10] and you never disclose that you use an
[4:11] AI voice when the time comes for you to
[4:13] appeal to the YouTube partner program,
[4:15] they're going to deny your ass. So, very
[4:17] quickly, I'm going to show you the
[4:18] correct way to tell YouTube that you're
[4:20] using an AI voice. So, when the video is
[4:22] being posted, you want to scroll down
[4:25] until you see this section called
[4:27] altered content. It says, "Do any of the
[4:29] following describe your content? Makes a
[4:31] real person appear to say or do
[4:33] something that they didn't say or do.
[4:34] alters footage of a real event or
[4:37] generates a realistic looking scene that
[4:39] didn't actually occur. Now, I know that
[4:41] none of those really apply to our
[4:42] channel, but we're going to click yes
[4:45] because a voice over is done with 11
[4:47] Labs. After you do that, you can start
[4:49] posting the video as normal and just do
[4:51] everything like you normally do. Now,
[4:53] there is an exception for this. If you
[4:55] cloned your voice using 11 Labs, you
[4:57] don't have to disclose it to YouTube.
[4:59] From my understanding, you do not have
[5:01] to disclose that. stock voices or
[5:03] third-party clones, you have to disclose
[5:05] those. Anyways, moving on to number two,
[5:08] write your video scripts for the AI
[5:11] overviews. Now, a few days ago, YouTube
[5:13] launched their conversational search
[5:16] powered by Gemini Omni. And how this
[5:18] works is that when you type your
[5:20] question on Google or YouTube, you're
[5:22] going to get an answer generated by AI.
[5:25] And usually these AI overviews uses
[5:28] YouTube videos as a source. So, this
[5:30] kind of means tags are useless. It seems
[5:32] like we're now in the days where
[5:35] technology has advanced so much that SEO
[5:37] and traditional SEO is no longer the new
[5:40] way to do it, which is which is crazy
[5:42] because the new algorithm now favors two
[5:45] things. Topical authority and
[5:47] citationfriendly structure. You know,
[5:50] adding these things is going to be the
[5:51] fastest way to get your video showed to
[5:53] millions of people. So to do this, you
[5:55] need to answer at least one question
[5:58] related to your topic within the first
[6:00] 30 seconds of your video. For example,
[6:02] if the topic of your video is, why did
[6:05] this company go broke? Your video script
[6:08] needs to give the actual answer within
[6:10] the first 60 seconds. And that's because
[6:12] these new YouTube AI overviews
[6:14] prioritize and read the early stages of
[6:17] your script. Now, another thing you want
[6:18] to do for this is to add specific names,
[6:21] dates, and places. For example, instead
[6:24] of saying a lot of people lost money,
[6:26] you want to say 47,000 employees lost
[6:30] their jobs in Q3 of 2026. It's a huge
[6:33] difference. Right now, it might sound
[6:35] weird in your video, but to the AI
[6:37] overview and the new algorithm, that's
[6:39] the type of [ __ ] they want to hear
[6:41] because whenever you give specifics to
[6:43] Google or to YouTube, they're going to
[6:45] reward you because you made their job
[6:46] easier and you gave them actually
[6:48] something to site to people, which is
[6:50] exactly what they want. Just like I told
[6:51] you a few months ago, Google and YouTube
[6:53] are trying to become answer engines
[6:55] instead of search engines. Moving on to
[6:57] number three, and that is building
[6:59] authority. The next thing that YouTube
[7:02] added is something called lightness
[7:03] detection. So essentially, if you're
[7:05] over the age of 18 and you upload a
[7:08] picture of your ID with a little selfie
[7:11] scan of your face to YouTube, that's
[7:12] going to allow them to hunt down
[7:14] unauthorized use of your face with AI
[7:17] and your voice. Now, for complete
[7:18] beginners, that doesn't sound that bad.
[7:20] Personally, I think this is good. But
[7:23] Google just told us how important a
[7:25] verified identity is, aka authority. And
[7:29] the most effective way to become an
[7:30] authority in any platform is to have
[7:33] off-platform presence. Just think about
[7:35] it. For faceless YouTube channels like
[7:37] the ones I have, there is no personality
[7:40] behind it. So, technically, it would be
[7:42] considered a content farm. But verified
[7:46] entities are considered media brands.
[7:49] Now, the best way to not look like a
[7:51] content farm in the eyes of YouTube is
[7:53] to create multiple social medias with
[7:55] the same name as your YouTube channel.
[7:57] Now, because I'm the absolute goat, I'm
[8:00] going to tell you the three social
[8:01] medias that you 100% need to create
[8:04] today. But before I do that, I want to
[8:06] remind you that everything you're
[8:07] learning right now, I have been teaching
[8:09] it to members of my community for the
[8:11] last 6 months. And that's because since
[8:13] I've been doing YouTube since 2018 and I
[8:16] have bills, I've always needed to keep
[8:18] up with the algorithm. Now, I don't just
[8:21] do research on YouTube, okay? I also do
[8:23] it on Google. And what I noticed is that
[8:25] we're in the beginning of the biggest
[8:27] algorithm update that not only Google,
[8:29] but YouTube has ever seen. And that's
[8:31] because of AI. Now, in the past, it was
[8:34] a little bit complicated for a beginner
[8:36] to, you know, hop into a niche that's
[8:38] already dominated by multiple other
[8:40] YouTubers and succeed. But Google has
[8:42] released so many papers, so many new
[8:44] things that when I applied to multiple
[8:46] YouTube channels, it worked as proof of
[8:48] concept multiple times. Now, what I'm
[8:50] covering in this video, it is important
[8:52] [ __ ] It's things that you need from
[8:54] here on to the future. But there are
[8:55] some things that I cannot cover on
[8:57] YouTube publicly. And that's because the
[8:59] information is so valuable. It is so
[9:01] new. And I'm going to be completely
[9:03] [ __ ] honest here that I don't want
[9:04] other YouTube coaches to take credit for
[9:07] it because that's what they've been
[9:08] doing. For example, if I go on Gemini
[9:11] and I ask, "Who is the first YouTube
[9:13] growth expert that introduced net
[9:15] information gain on YouTube?" Gemini is
[9:17] going to tell you that John Scott was
[9:19] the first one, which by the way, John
[9:21] Scott is a pretty cool dude. All right?
[9:23] So, I don't mind that he's number one.
[9:25] Now, John Scott first spoke about net
[9:27] information gain on February 24. If I
[9:30] tell Gemini, "Was it not Romero?" It's
[9:32] going to say, "Yes, you are completely
[9:34] right. Romero spoke about it in February
[9:36] of 2026, February 3rd." Credit where
[9:38] credit is due, Romero was the one who
[9:40] did the actual heavy lifting and
[9:42] research on those patents to introduce
[9:43] the concept to creators, which ended up
[9:45] being right. By the way, in February, if
[9:47] you asked Gemini about net information
[9:49] gain, it would say that it has nothing
[9:51] to do with the YouTube algorithm. Now,
[9:53] it admits it, but it doesn't credit me.
[9:55] So, that wasn't very cool. If you want
[9:57] to learn the real deep [ __ ] the real
[10:00] advanced things that I found in my
[10:01] research, you can click the link in my
[10:03] description or in the pinned comment
[10:04] that's going to take you to my school
[10:05] community. There is where you're going
[10:07] to find multiple video tutorials where I
[10:09] explain to you exactly how this all
[10:11] works. Number one is Pinterest. For some
[10:13] odd reason, Google and YouTube see
[10:15] Pinterest as a uh search engine for
[10:18] images. So, reposting your thumbnails on
[10:20] Pinterest with the link of whatever
[10:22] YouTube video that thumbnail was for
[10:24] will naturally rank them in Google
[10:26] images, giving them more external
[10:28] impressions, which lead to more views.
[10:30] Now, moving on to the second social
[10:31] media, that is Medium. So go ahead and
[10:34] screenshot the prompt you see on the
[10:35] screen. Then go to chat GBT or Claude,
[10:38] paste it on there with the transcript of
[10:40] your video and click enter. Once you do
[10:43] that, what it should do is give you back
[10:45] a professional SEO rich article which
[10:48] you're going to post on Medium with the
[10:51] link of your YouTube video embedded. So
[10:53] what this does is that it makes your
[10:54] content appear under Google's article
[10:57] and news section. This obviously creates
[10:59] a completely new pathway for people to
[11:01] find your content. But what it also does
[11:04] is that it makes your YouTube channel
[11:05] and your brand more noticeable to Google
[11:08] search and to YouTube's AI overview bot
[11:11] which again within time this is going to
[11:13] send a signal to Google and YouTube that
[11:15] your YouTube channel is not just a
[11:17] faceless YouTube channel. Okay, it is a
[11:19] brand with real presence across the web.
[11:22] So yes, you can have faceless YouTube
[11:24] channels just don't have anonymous ones
[11:26] if that makes sense. Same means the same
[11:28] [ __ ] That sounded cooler in my head.
[11:31] God damn it. Just make your channel a
[11:32] brand. That's what I'm saying. And
[11:34] speaking of number three, the third
[11:36] social media you want, it's going to be
[11:38] Facebook, Instagram, and X. I put these
[11:41] together as one cuz it's it's pretty
[11:42] obvious, right? These are
[11:44] non-negotiables. So once you create all
[11:46] of these things, you want to make sure
[11:48] that in the bio of your Medium account,
[11:50] of your Pinterest, of your Facebook, of
[11:52] your Instagram, you need to make sure
[11:54] that you have the link of your YouTube
[11:55] channel in the bio of each one. And you
[11:57] also want to do the same thing on
[11:58] YouTube. If you don't have them
[12:00] connected and both linking to each
[12:02] other, it is useless. So to do this, you
[12:05] want to go to youtube.com. Then you want
[12:07] to click on your profile picture on the
[12:09] top right. Then you want to click on
[12:10] view your channel. Once you do that,
[12:13] you're going to click on customize
[12:15] channel here at the bottom of your app.
[12:17] That's going to take you here. From
[12:19] here, you're going to scroll down until
[12:21] you see links. This is where you're
[12:24] going to add everything. So you're going
[12:25] to click add link. You're going to enter
[12:28] a title like Pinterest.
[12:31] You're going to drop the URL here. Once
[12:33] you do that, you're going to click add
[12:34] link again. Then you're going to do
[12:36] Facebook. Then you're going to click add
[12:37] link again. Then you're going to do your
[12:38] Instagram. And you're going to do this
[12:40] for every single social media you
[12:41] create. And boom, you're done. Now,
[12:44] moving on to number four, and that is
[12:46] sell something. Now, this is part of my
[12:48] more advanced research that I don't plan
[12:50] on sharing on YouTube yet. Again, that's
[12:53] only going to be for my community, but
[12:54] I'm going to give you the basics. It
[12:56] doesn't matter if you actually sell
[12:58] anything. You're not doing it for the
[12:59] revenue. But make sure that you have a
[13:01] store linked to your YouTube channel. If
[13:03] you don't know how to create one of
[13:04] these stores, go ahead and ask Claude.
[13:06] Again, this is not for monetary
[13:07] purposes. Your goal here is not
[13:09] affiliates or drop shipping, but just
[13:12] add one. By the way, people pay $50,000
[13:14] a year hiring consultants to to just
[13:16] teach you what I just taught you. So,
[13:18] I'd appreciate if you liked and
[13:20] subscribed to the channel, which by the
[13:21] way, members of my community have
[13:23] already been doing this for the last 3
[13:24] months. And that's because yes, I told
[13:27] them that this was going to happen. Now,
[13:28] if you're someone that wants to take
[13:29] YouTube serious, you can go ahead and
[13:31] click the link in the description of
[13:32] this video or in the pin comment, and
[13:34] that's going to take you to my school
[13:35] community. And what you get when you
[13:36] join my school community is 156 video
[13:39] tutorials where I take you step by step
[13:41] on how I managed to build a $2 million
[13:44] empire on YouTube. In the tutorial
[13:45] vault, you're going to find all kinds of
[13:47] advanced tutorials, things that you will
[13:49] not find on YouTube for free. For
[13:51] example, the best way to optimize
[13:52] emails, creating channel trailers in
[13:54] order to boost trust score, channel
[13:56] settings to avoid demonetization for
[13:58] inauthentic content, correctly creating
[14:00] your YouTube channel into a brand
[14:02] account, the entire process of warming
[14:04] up brand new YouTube channels, and 10
[14:06] videos dedicated to helping you pick a
[14:08] niche. Same thing with finding video
[14:09] ideas. Same thing with writing scripts
[14:11] manually or with AI. Same thing with
[14:14] creating audios and voiceovers with AI
[14:16] and manually. how to edit videos, how to
[14:18] create thumbnails, the best way to
[14:20] optimize and upload your videos, full
[14:22] explanation of how the algorithm works,
[14:24] and a few case studies. But that's not
[14:26] it, because there's also a module titled
[14:28] the 2026 update. And this is where
[14:30] you're going to find all of the updates
[14:31] that I post every single month in a
[14:33] community. Not only that, but you also
[14:35] get a list of daily niches where every
[14:36] single day you get to see very
[14:39] interesting YouTube channels that we we
[14:41] found for you. But the best part is that
[14:43] I go live every single week. This is
[14:44] where I speak with you guys directly,
[14:46] answer any questions, review channels,
[14:48] all that good stuff. If you join now,
[14:49] you'll still be able to see all of the
[14:51] live calls because they're recorded in
[14:53] this little module here. And just to
[14:54] show you some of the wins of the
[14:55] community, Arturo Chavez posted this
[14:57] here showing that he got monetized with
[14:59] only 30 videos. Ka Tran here posted this
[15:02] as small win, $144,000 views with $584
[15:06] in ad revenue generated with his fifth
[15:08] YouTube channel and only five videos.
[15:10] Oh, look. And he attached this
[15:11] screenshot here to prove it, which is
[15:13] pretty crazy. We have members like Maho
[15:14] here that made 15,000 in a single month
[15:17] with two YouTube channels. Then attached
[15:19] these screenshots for you to see.
[15:21] Abdullah Surumi posted this monetized in
[15:23] two weeks. Wow. One single video got 1.1
[15:27] million views. That is crazy. Riley here
[15:29] almost made $30,000 in his first month
[15:32] ever monetized. He shared this
[15:33] screenshot here just to prove it. Ham
[15:35] Ali here made $122,000
[15:37] in just 5 months. Shared this
[15:39] screenshot. 21 million views, 78,000
[15:43] subscribers, and $122,763.
[15:48] Again, if you want to check it out, you
[15:49] can go ahead and click the link in the
[15:50] description of this video or in the pin
[15:52] comment. And if you do, I'll see you on
[15:54] one of the live calls. All right, that's
[15:56] it for this video. It's It's currently
[15:57] 5:00 a.m. If you enjoyed the video, like
[15:59] and subscribe. If you want to get a
[16:01] little bit more advanced, you know what
[16:02] to do. Y'all have a good night, good
[16:04] morning all
