Is Mr Beast's New YouTube Software Legit or Just Hype? (Viewstats Pro Review)

[00:02] YouTube's most subscribed Channel but he's also launched a brand new tool for he's also launched a brand new tool for creators called views.com and Views Pro version we're going to look at both and we're going to look at the different

[00:17] features that are available now this is a brand new tool that has more features coming to it and so people been kind of interested at our take at think media in regards to how does this compar to other tool like a vid IQ um what's the

[00:32] difference is it worth your time is it overhyped and so uh let's dive straight into it so views.com views.com is a public facing free tool that's kind

[00:45] of like social blade although my feelings of this tool is that it just kind of looks cleaner so Mr Beast has a lot of uh money and developers and things I'm imagining that he's throwing at all of this stuff and so this is kind

[00:59] your YouTube channel go to views.com enter it in and you can see some give you a recap of your views your subscribers your estimated Revenue now YouTube analytics to see a lot of this information um I do like this feature on

[01:16] the right side here that says Longs versus shorts and so here on the think media podcast we just went through a pretty crazy uh Spike from shorts as you

[01:28] could see right here and we're kind of leveling out and so in the past three months we got 19 million shorts views and 1.3 million Longs views so I'm here for it you know life's weird and so uh you can enter your channel

[01:43] here but I think more importantly you cannot see behind the scenes of other people's channels so if you want to spy on people that's a great thing um that channel so then we can look at the videos here we can then look at shorts

[01:57] and so just kind of an interface for that few tools including produ projections so uh we're going to be at 327,000 Subs in the next 315 days if we maintain this rate of growth and you can kind of look at the stats again if

[02:12] you've never heard of social blade it's kind of similar uh similar channels is kind of cool just public facing YouTube on the back end will tell you on the back end will tell you eventually what other channels your

[02:25] viewers are watching and what other videos your viewers are watching that's very powerful tool but if you aren't seeing that yet this could be worth looking at how is YouTube categorizing you who else is kind of creating similar

[02:40] content to you on the about page you're going to see just total Channel wide views subscribers and you're seeing ranking right so the think media podcast channel is 2023 in the world of the top YouTube

[02:54] channels based on subscribers that's kind of interesting so anyways um you've got top lists again there's other websites that will show you this stuff but this is now based on total subscribers Mr Beast just

[03:08] based on total subscribers Mr Beast just be t uh T series total views Mr Beast isn't even in the top 10 he's number 13 H what's more important views or subscribers interesting and who knew that Sony India and Sony Sab was getting

[03:25] so many views what is happening on those channels WWE um most Subs gained or lost hamster combat's blowing up right now I don't and you could actually look at this show made for kids or turn off kids and turn

[03:40] off music channels because then you're going to get into more content creators right music and kid stuff can just take over everything oftentimes so anyways most views most Subs gained now you also have a couple other tools compare as

[03:53] what's what's fascinating here right so if you want to compare your channel to Channel you could do that if you also wanted to compare like think media to think media podcast you could do that and all you're going to see here is

[04:06] upload frequency kind of views you know colorcoded I like the interface it's clean um here's here's our crazy shorts clean um here's here's our crazy shorts moment what a moment perhaps we shall

[04:19] return to uh whatever chaos that was but hey it's it's fun we're here for it by am live and I'll Circle back in your questions later they're also giving you a Mr Beast versus tseries um real

[04:34] time uh comparison or maybe it's stopped now that the victory has been won and then you can also install the Chrome extension and so similar to other tools the Chrome extension tells you data about any YouTube video

[04:49] about any YouTube video that is on YouTube so couple days ago we that is on YouTube so couple days ago we uploaded a podcast with the uneducated Economist and and uh it was a great episode I don't know if you saw that one

[05:02] highly recommended so if you head over here you can see view stats the gray is our Channel's typical performance the red is this one outperforming you could compare videos kind of interesting uh here on the channel ranking of videos on

[05:17] the channel um first one hour and 10 days how is it doing and then an overview of the channel so with the views.com plug-in installed now you can see like vid IQ boost here again you could get similar uh all kinds of

[05:32] similar tools I got the AI coach because I've got boost installed and and vid IQ is telling me thumbnails and and the videos performance Etc so there's a lot more and we'll talk about that a little bit later but anyways that's the Google

[05:47] Chrome plugin and everything I've described so far is free so that brings described so far is free so that brings us to view stats Pro which is the real question is it not and they have launched

[06:00] launched a tool for creators it's $50 a month you can save money if you pay for annual by the way this video is not sponsored um and I don't even have an affiliate link for view stats Pro now if I get one in

[06:14] description but as of now you can go to view stats Pro in the description and a few of the other tools I'm recommending um or mentioning and so uh but no yeah no sponsorship here just my raw honest Impressions been using the tool for a

[06:28] while so okay if you go down why view stats Pro Suite of advanced tools that stats Pro Suite of advanced tools that lets you stand out from the crowd of um specialized insights there's the five free tools or

[06:42] paid tools we're talking about here you can sign up for 50 bucks you get 30 days right a month and then you can cancel any time and you'll finish out the month you could save $120 if you pay for the year and so uh giving it a a

[06:59] test run 50 bucks and you can cancel anytime okay so I'll I'll share my actually dive into the tools so I used my credit card I purchased this tool and

[07:11] let's look through what we see inside of Vats Pro is our homepage here we see the search AB tests and Collections and uh an an ability to add

[07:24] the Chrome extension and so let's dive straight into alerts all right so the big idea the big idea with Vats Pro overall is mainly getting

[07:36] inspiration from viral content and a key term to understand here is this idea of term to understand here is this idea of outlier outlier content that is content that's outperforming other content on YouTube

[07:50] but also significantly outperforming a video on your own channel so you're video on your own channel so you're seeing this outlier score from all kinds of tools one out of 10.com view stats vid IQ has incorporated this score so if

[08:05] vid IQ has incorporated this score so if you go to think media podcast with vid you go to think media podcast with vid IQ Vision installed and you go to videos what you'll see as it kind of loads up here sometimes I got to refresh let me

[08:19] hit the refresh keeping it fresh on the live stream there it is so yesterday's podcast has an outlayer score of 3.6 and

[08:31] IQ by the way I know I'm kind of mixing things here but uh so it says learn if a video is outperforming the Channel's average now maybe somebody could tell me in the chat is this free um because if you just

[08:45] want to like go spy on people and look at their outlier score it's really cool then go on this page and go okay this one got a 5.8 outlier score and in some cases maybe it just got a 1.2 very

[08:57] some of these are just clips from the full podcast so of course they're going underperformed but oh here's the big idea outlayer score how can I spot videos in my Niche that are outperforming so what you do is you can

[09:13] set up an alert and when you create a new alert you could type in something already done YouTube camera grow on YouTube camera affiliate start YouTube YouTube camera affiliate start YouTube keyword tools themselves um and so I

[09:27] tools just to do a new one minimum views I'm a niche in a niche I'm not really in a broad appeal Niche right you could do Longs or shorts I'm interested in the Longs you can name it and then even

[09:41] describe it in case you do like tons of these now I've messed a little bit you include and must exclude and whenever I did that I got like no results probably like to go broad so YouTube tools and here we are now we are getting an alert

[09:58] there's 30 s videos with YouTube tools and they're all organized for us here and in the right hand we can say by the added date that's actually when it's count so if you want to see like the hot ones this is pretty hot in video I made

[10:15] 60 YouTube shorts in 60 minutes with just two that's pretty great and that got a 47.5 out layer score that outperformed the videos on invid channel by a lot okay so then you

[10:29] invid channel by a lot okay so then you also can um also look by upload date so just different ways of shuffling through and if you click right here I like this view because outlayer score is distinctly colorcoded to make you know

[10:43] you just can scroll and say okay 8.2 I made a facelist channel using AI tools 14.3 these AI tools for YouTube are getting crazy and you could just kind of you know roll through so I did like YouTube

[10:56] camera as I A lot of times will talk about best camera for YouTube uh grow on you're looking for the outlier score you're looking for how many views it got and then maybe you're looking for the angle packaging title and thumbnail and

[11:10] how's it packaged and so if I'm making future videos on affiliate marketing here you know you can roll through and um go by view count and say like for example here would be an Insight how I made $114,000 with Pinterest affiliate

[11:25] marketing so I might go hm maybe I should try Pinterest affiliate marketing perhaps I should interview somebody that is an expert on Pinterest affiliate marketing since I've never done it um perhaps I don't care because I just want

[11:38] to do YouTube affiliate marketing but you know it's an Insight so okay um and you doing you're getting inspiration now if we skip ahead to one of the other tools number five which is called collections while you're using

[11:55] these um if you spot um if you spot something that is cool and that inspires something that is cool and that inspires you then you can add it to your

[12:09] collection so let's go back to YouTube tools let's go by view count and let's um this is this pretty cool by the way if we click in here now we see how well this video performed and we see that it's a big outlier so I made 60 YouTube

[12:25] shorts in 60 minutes with just two AI tools this is great so I'm going to say save to collection and I'm going to save it to think media video ideas excuse me video ideas and of course you might be saying

[12:39] everybody copying each other on YouTube yeah that's what YouTube is is is isn't it I mean kind of it actually certainly is partly but um I think the idea here is you're getting inspiration on like a a format so for example I

[12:57] might say I made you know 10 YouTube shorts and 10 minutes using 10 AI tools not as cool but uh something you could do right so anyways I added that to my collection maybe thumbnail inspiration maybe topic inspiration whatever I saved

[13:12] it to my collection okay so that's alerts so you can set up these alerts you now have data coming your way around uh the the kind of keyword topic like grow on YouTube and then again this outlier score too which brings us to the

[13:27] second tool which is outliers themselves now when we're playing the game at this level we're actually playing at like YouTube macro like what can we learn from everything happening on YouTube which

[13:41] has its pros and cons because for a lot of us especially in the think media podcast Community we are like maybe doing search-based Niche creators lots of entrepreneurs business owners where

[13:53] going viral is of course always cool well it's maybe not always cool but like but getting lots of views is always great but if you're trying to grow your business or attract the right people you're you're not just chasing Trends

[14:06] this tool definitely is like a chasing Trends type of tool however if you use it intelligently there's some insights you can gain right like that for example the trending tab on YouTube itself is cool but like if you're not Kendrick

[14:21] Lamar or Drake like you just might not be getting you know that A1 or Pat Flynn for that matter who just was trending with a deep pocket monster you know for example if you look at even just the categories we have here it's the YouTube

[14:34] categories in entertainment people in blogs gaming for me uh I might hit the blogs gaming for me uh I might hit the education and then when we do we are definitely now into what we do at a broad level here at think media we could

[14:47] filter between Longs and shorts and we're looking for outliers we could do view because of the outlayer score but where things get interesting is where we filter on the right side over here okay okay so

[15:01] okay so uh if we want to say Okay I want education videos that have more than 100,000 views Channel size just 10,000 because I'm looking for the outlier at least a 5x outlier score in

[15:15] the last three months apply and I'm in the education Niche here and so we're seeing a mix of stuff we're seeing some a mix of stuff we're seeing some faith-based stuff some um personal

[15:27] development and all kinds of weird things right so some of this could be like where are we going what we're just doing is we're digging through now let's doing is we're digging through now let's also sort by let's say out leer

[15:39] also sort by let's say out leer score and um and then see if we can find any any inspo none so far but I'm in education so I also might jump into film and animation which I definitely would relate to this topic although this is

[15:52] also going to be like movie trailers looks like a lot of uh Bollywood type content and some other things so again this might leave you not with much in

[16:04] for for me now by the way you're watching this and you are trying to watching this and you are trying to compete in travel or Vlogs then this this becomes very interesting and by the way if you're an entertainment Channel I

[16:19] think that view stats leans heavily your direction but I think that Educators can ones I would go to is I'd go to Science and Technology which might include some uh let me let me switch some of the let me get rid of the outlayer score let me

[16:35] get rid of the views and let me see some tech stuff could learn from so we're you know Google pixel and one of the questions you got to ask is could you do a lot of This research on your own um you could

[16:52] there's certainly tools inside of usts pro that you data you couldn't see elsewhere but for a lot of people watching this you could save the money insights from like the rest of this video because some of the thinking could

[17:07] be very relevant podcast could be interesting so we have head over to things where if you're not Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson with Hillary Clinton in reason obviously there's a reason that's

[17:21] are who you're talking about um but whatever so anyways this is the out whatever so anyways this is the out leers section of of studying and looking for uh different video ideas topics so let's jump on to thumbnail search now

[17:35] this gets kind of crazy because what you're actually able to do here actually AB test is what gets crazy thumbnail uh search is pretty cool let's say I wanted to make a video about a camera I've got an upcoming video best camera for

[17:48] YouTube or something you can type in camera and now study thumbnails with cameras as you can see and if I am learning because see remember we're seeing that the outlier score five tips for shooting with the Nikon d5500

[18:04] for shooting with the Nikon d5500 35.7 X outlier score now let's also look at let's say newest because that video is six years old so it had a lot of time to get views but if I go to newest with camera then I can maybe spot something

[18:19] like it's still not even that new but four months ago phone versus a camera which would be Samsung Galaxy versus a $5,000 professional camera cool good thumbnail good topic like hey let's add

[18:33] it to our collection think media video ideas boom so that that's how this tool inspiration on maybe thumbnail design you also might create a collection of just it's not that the video perform

[18:48] well but just thumbnail inspo like oh if I got a little blue construction paper Amazon then I could uh you know kind of frame up a camera here the glance in the background okay cool like that's I'm it's helping me find things great now I

[19:03] can save that for later for a little thumbnail inspo pretty cool so that's different ways you can use thumbnail search you can also type search you can also type in a um you could share an exact YouTube

[19:18] link and you also could type in you know says try massive yacht in the ocean so again shot composition is there money on the screen or not not and uh again we are in

[19:33] screen or not not and uh again we are in Mr Beast territory with this particular type of topic right maybe extreme high priced you know $1 boat versus billion dollar yacht type of stuff that's thumbnail search Okay AB test thumbnails

[19:48] is pretty wild because there's a few things and I've link linked up some of the tools we use on a daily basis at think media in the description one of those is like thumbnail test.com and eventually YouTube's going

[20:02] to allow all channels to split test thumbnails you can upload up to three thumbnails YouTube then tries each one each one a matter of time and it's like showing different people different

[20:17] thumbnails figuring out which one has the best results best clickthrough rate which one's going to get you the most views and then it lands on a final decision So eventually they said by the end of 2024 everybody will get those

[20:31] tools and some people already have it in the meantime there's also tools like thumbnail test.com which is also different and even Tu budy has some thumbnail split testing but here's what I don't think anybody else has it's the

[20:43] ability to spy on other people's thumbnail split tests so for example we thumbnail split tests so for example we can see Phil def Franco here um is doing thumbnail split tests and he's testing this one this one this one one and then

[20:59] the final winner was this one so for a news show he's in the center and he's got two different people that he's talked about in that news show and perhaps which two are getting clearly it's Taylor was outperformed by whoever

[21:13] it's Taylor was outperformed by whoever these people are um Lady Gaga I don't know just reading the thing okay so anyways this is kind of neat so then you somebody is split testing their thumbnails pretty wild huh um you can

[21:26] see here Mr Beast himself um mouth open versus mouth closed final winner mouth closed interesting so if anything even if you don't split test thumbnails you may learn from there's a catch there's a

[21:43] catch the dark versus a little bit lighter and the winter was a little bit there and then if you scroll down you could see when the ab test happened in this little green range and then and then it tanks after that I don't know

[21:57] the other split testing happening on this channel but watch this if we go by Channel we go over to like Noah Kagan who's an entrepreneur Channel we can see then all the different thumbnail split testing he's

[22:12] doing on his video so he made a video I helped a subscriber started a million dollar business in 48 hours he tried this thumbnail some guy zero to one million I want to make 1 million talking outside of the house and then just

[22:25] pointing at a laptop with the clock and that was the final winner and you can actually see the different days when the the split tests were happening and you eventually there's you know one that's performing the best and um then you know

[22:43] that's the final one so again you might get inspired by this add it to your collection afterwards like okay cool even this is interesting where you can see and imagine for your own content you interview somebody and you have

[22:57] different quotes so in this case I wish I learned this earlier okay I wish I learned this earlier with a different background or money corrupts people and that was the winner less words only three corrupts leans kind of

[23:14] you learn versus money corrupts people what does he mean by that and so that's the AB testing so you're you're you're spying on other channels that are AB testing now what's fascinating though is I'm I'm certain that like Alex Heros is

[23:29] split testing his thumbnails because I see it happen all the time I don't know doesn't come up right now so I don't know if this they're gonna add that later or if every channel that's doing it is is showing up or maybe he's not

[23:42] actually split testing as something else maybe not all channels are in there and maybe not all channels are in there and and then the top 1% type of creators so recent you know we're just looking at huge channels here and and back to this

[23:56] whole entertainment type of Niche I guess this is less this type of Niche I guess this is less this is education but some gaming is on here is education but some gaming is on here right some A-list celebrity type stuff

[24:09] whatever that's the ab test and then finally you got collections so basically this point can then be put into collection so like for think media video ideas I added this one to a collection

[24:24] just for the inspo of see this was called the best film camera ever made and I'm like okay what if we did the best YouTube camera ever made and then Sony which I actually think it probably is a

[24:39] Sony maybe the Sony zv E10 what do you think is the best YouTube camera ever made all with all things being equal price budget what you might use it for versatility so I might say not a Canon right and then a blurred out Sony in the

[24:53] hand even the thumbnail shot composition cool so just you know adding inspiration you also might be looking for Big Ideas so I saw this was recommended earlier the six worst watch brands right now this could

[25:07] be like you know I don't know this the three worst YouTube lighting kits I you know something so I just put this here for some inspo um and uh that's the big idea you know

[25:22] um and uh that's the big idea you know Jade did a video got a 58 outlier score how to grow a YouTube channel from zero Subs in four weeks week by week plan and what I like

[25:35] outperform you can maybe learn from the thumbnail but I think the Insight being to grow a YouTube channel it's just so generic but how to grow a YouTube channel from zero subscribers in one week daily plan again you're just kind

[25:51] of spinning the creativity around what what you might be doing there now speaking of spying by the way see Vanessa laow did a Cool Tech video the best YouTube setup 2024 look at this we're spying on a video we canot just

[26:05] see the thumbnail changes so uh you could see she uploaded a couple different versions and eventually landed on the final one but you also see title changes so you see people titling their thumbnails and

[26:17] and their titles cool and and then you know the so um that is one of my collections now another one here podcast thumbnail

[26:32] inspiration we had uh Patrick B David here with Noah Kagan on the show now here with Noah Kagan on the show now notice notice that according to some looks like it's doing well but not crazy it's kind of plateaued off it's still

[26:46] his bangers it's not really an outlier but nevertheless if we want to study thumbnails one was I'm worth half a billion one was I'm worth half a billion

[26:58] one was I worked uh I worked uh I worked 100 hours seven days a week and think there was one with just Patrick Solo or something maybe not yeah I I

[27:13] worked and so whatever you just you can just say okay that's the Insight of maybe how are we putting quotes from podcasts in in the thumbnail I always go through the thinking of am I in the thumbnail solo am I with the guest in

[27:27] the thumbnail are they in the thumbnail solo what is the text on the thumbnail all these distinctions matter and you could see that this is a this is a top 1% level thinking right people are getting crazy they're pivoting titles

[27:40] they're pivoting thumbnails um this is kind of the Mastery level of YouTube kind of the Mastery level of YouTube these days so uh additionally I think um collections like topic and show inspiration here's what I mean so good

[27:55] old Noah just had Cody Sanchez on a episode called millionaires in cars getting tacos with Cody Sanchez and I think that

[28:07] what you'll see I mean Mr Beast created this view stats pro software originally he says because they were just going to use these tools themselves now he's making them public and he said that there's 15 new tools coming in

[28:22] available but for those that are paying for the pro more are coming and so I'm sure it'll get better and better but the big idea right is they find like these big idea right is they find like these content formats like you know what the

[28:36] ju AOS between a $1 Hotel versus a million dooll hotel room right and once they find something they then make a lot of videos based on that topic so you also could find inspiration anywhere for

[28:49] example maybe you heard of Jerry seidel's Comedians and Cars Getting Coffee well you then maybe have seen George camel show Millionaires and cars getting coffee so then you can see that Noah's now

[29:02] starting a show called Millionaires and Cars getting tacos which is also tacos is kind of his app Sumo thing I think tacos is sort of a meme or sort of common icon and theme in his story so so what's he doing I mean you're taking

[29:17] things that work and you're you're putting your spin on it success leaves putting your spin on it success leaves Clues trending content or proven content yours and Comedians and getting coffee is way different than like business

[29:30] owners or millionaires right so that's also sort of the big idea of eats.com is spotting things like that then seeing how maybe they're spinning some different thumbnail changes some different AB tests that

[29:43] they were doing here um I also think that the Cyber truck is maybe the passive trending thing that uh that we're talking about here and um and so topic and show inspiration I'm not actually

[30:00] planning on starting an incars show but hey why not throw it in there because then maybe you know you're you're you got a writer block someday which probably brings us to this point who is bats Pro for well the question

[30:16] bats Pro for well the question is if I spend this $50 can I at least make my money back or double my money or more because I think for any established creator with money coming in if you're part-time or

[30:31] full-time I think that it's probably a no-brainer because if it only cost 50 bucks a month and you could make at least $51 then you have the tool and you just made a profit now more realistically when you're established an

[30:46] established Creator spending like $50 a month on this tool if you got one idea like I'm just aware that I can post a video even in just ad Revenue itself like if if one good idea or thumbnail pivot could earn me a hundred bucks in

[31:00] pivot could earn me a hundred bucks in ad revenue or let's call it a hundred more dollars than I normally would have gotten because I packaged the video better then it's a no-brainer for an established Creator I think on the flip

[31:13] side though is if you're new or just starting out then um I think you can learn a lot of tips from subscribing to a channel like this and when we look at the creaters for example Noah Noah Kagan who's split testing and whatnot we're

[31:27] talking about a multi-millionaire who's got a team who's got people helping him there's something about the individual Creator using it like I am but also that tekashi who's like helps us design thumbnails and whatnot just him using

[31:43] this is a valuable tool in his tool belt so if you're a media company you got a team you're not a solo Creator money's coming in um I'll talk about in a second all the different tools we use I mean a tool like this I mean said humbly but

[31:57] just transparently is like 50 bucks is is nothing compared to being able to just turn that into 500 let's say because of what you can uh get out of it with the idea that even just one inspired idea right could could produce

[32:12] inspired idea right could could produce an Roi and Roi stands for return on an Roi and Roi stands for return on investment and so um a couple questions questions put four question marks before and after but uh who is this

[32:28] tool four entertainment channels for sure um education channels that want to get into infotainment or infotainment or edutainment so no doubt about it that

[32:43] talk about that in a second more education longtail Evergreen content sort of a different level of thinking sort of a different level of thinking but too many creators are stuck in one

[32:55] trying to go viral and they're only trying to go for like curiosity viral viral outlier or that I think they only do search-based Evergreen content I think the most dynamic creators doing both like you're creating some content

[33:09] that doesn't Spike at the start start but it maybe gets views for like the next 10 years because it's a long form Evergreen ranked type of video and we love that stuff here at think media then on the flip side you know um

[33:24] if you're doing more education search based content to to find inspiration based content to to find inspiration from trending technology or education never thought of that before or you start spinning off on that idea then um

[33:39] tap into infotainment entainment start creating more kind of content um but you upload a lot practice a lot study and you could do so much of this research again on your own when you eventually go to someone's Channel I

[33:54] mean I've got links in the description down below we talk about vid IQ in a second you should at least have the free version of vid IQ which is by the way vid stats.com is basic compared to say even the free version of vid IQ like

[34:07] pretty good price and there's even lower cost tiers to something like vid IQ too things you can um get into so I would say that uh

[34:20] ultimately if you're just starting you know you don't have a team money's not coming in you don't m necessarily have you know people a AB testing thumbnails for you or things like that so uh that's you know something to consider in terms

[34:36] actually another thing that's interesting here let me see if I can interesting here let me see if I can find it I started building it out so one of the other things you could do is actually start turning

[34:51] your your videos into so there's the split test though cheap vers is not Alica and it looks like not Alica one on this one which is the person did that also they may not have split test maybe if they just

[35:06] change it which right now think media pod we don't actually have the YouTube thumbnail split test I mentioned we use thumbnail test.com um but I wonder if video's history and all that data is public here which is uh is pretty is

[35:21] pretty wild okay so we got our thumbnail search our out leers um all right where are we right where are we going I'm lost all right let um I'll

[35:36] come back to that so I think the question is ask yourself could you do tool save me time will this tool save me money now when it comes to what are the alternative tools if you've never heard of one of 10 before that's kind of like

[35:49] of one of 10 before that's kind of like a direct competitor to this emphasizing boost your views by tracking millions of high performing videos and this is a high performing videos and this is a very out leer score type of a tool I

[36:01] think that if I was one out of 10.com I would be a little bit nervous because um this is also 50 bucks a month you could see what is an outlier there's some differences pros and cons to each but what happens with these SAS products is

[36:16] each other and so that one's more of a direct flip side you might say well how does view stats Pro compared to vid IQ I would say like they're not even really Apples to Apples at this moment fit IQ I

[36:32] entertainment but more education channels that want to tap into the search base and when you tap into the tools that are actually available whether it's daily video ideas um which is very cool this logs

[36:45] into your channel and it's kind of personalized for you whether it's the AI coach which is uh pulling in chat GPT but then adding on some distinctions in terms of what you might want for

[36:58] um insights for your channel specifically like based on your channel based on my channel what video ideas do you have for me this is the AI coach so it is connected to my channel think media and now it's laying out some

[37:12] bangers for me so especially yeah the I mean go and make but I would also say these tools like an ounce of execution is more

[37:24] tools like an ounce of execution is more valuable than like a pound of research like go post a video like go make a video instead of researching all day long I'm not putting research down research is literally the second step of

[37:36] our Sr system it's incredibly important reverse engineer and then research just don't get stuck in research and so if you just get like a decent idea there's a quote from a general General George S Patton I think

[37:48] general General George S Patton I think better a good plan violently executed today than the perfect plan executed next week so there's something about like researching a little bit and then just executing on it post a video like

[38:01] take Massive Action because some people get so stuck you know you have 40 tools 26 hours of research go make a video so anyways you got the AI tool in here you can study competitors which you can choose and look at what you can learn

[38:15] from the different people that's up to you to select um you've got daily ideas is going to be a different more search-based angle I love that fact of I research tool to tap into um and I think perhaps most

[38:31] importantly is you know when you get into vid IQ Vision installed to Google Chrome and you upload a new video and you can quickly go into um I'm on the the think media

[38:47] channel now and so here's a new video coming out from Craig and if we just say get get title selections like the the topic is best streaming light and if I just CLI click you know title suggestions boom discover the ultimate

[39:01] streaming light unveil the best streaming light for you this is overlaid right where you're uploading your video so you could optimize title you can do a description generator and then if we know what the tags are for example

[39:14] because people say like tags don't have a lot of value to them but if you use a tool like VI IQ it takes less than a minute to put all the tags so if you're like best light for streaming let's say you get it started boom best

[39:28] light for streaming and then you click this little vid IQ login you could just streaming streaming light lights for streaming key light if that's true and keyword phrases and keywords that are relevant to the video when back to like

[39:44] starting out this stuff matters because you want to put the metadata behind with title description and tags and if it only takes you 30 seconds then then why not do it if YouTube gives me the the tag or the

[39:58] section might as well maximize it um if it's not going to you know waste a ton of time um so the difference between like a vid stats Pro and a vid IQ is pretty significant and time will only tell when vid stats pro has added the 15

[40:13] new tools they're promising um but I really don't think it's uh it's it's not Apples to Apples right now they are kind of a little bit different and if you were a more advanced creater money's coming in then um having both is

[40:29] looking into now what are some tools that I these up in the description um but I do use vid IQ Bo boost all the time weekly

[40:41] I use chat GPT I pay for that and uh I'm using Dolly sometimes to generate some backgrounds like recently I'm using canva that's not a a YouTube Tool but the story The reason to bring it up was I use Dolly to put myself in a

[40:56] newsroom for a think media video about opportunities and threats and so I used canva to design a thumbnail but here's the thumbnail and I

[41:11] threw a picture of me in there and I use Dolly to get The background I got it for you I'm just going to get you the big version here and then I use canvas logos to do the money and the skull and I use the

[41:26] text there but that cool like Newsroom background was just typ in some AI generated stuff into Dolly which is a chat GPT thing and then throwing that into canva and background cutout and all the different

[41:39] this is a canva thumbnail that I just you know whipped up so what tools do I use so I'm using vid IQ boost I'm paying for chat GPT I'm paying I should pay for Gemini I just use Gemini that's if you haven't ever one of the things you could

[41:53] that's doing well on your Channel or somebody else's go to Gemini and say hey why is this video doing well and uh look at what it teaches you it's pretty powerful one of the most underrated tools and I've again linked

[42:09] underrated tools and I've again linked all these up is Creator hooks Pro now you might say Sean this is so much but again like this is what I do all day and we have a whole team using this stuff so you make your own decisions don't chase

[42:21] you make your own decisions don't chase shiny objects but I will use vid iq's title gener and I'll get inspired I'll copy some of the ones that I like best onto a Google doc I'll use chat gbt sometimes or Gemini for also angles and

[42:35] and look at other people's titles and like look for inspiration and the attention to but then I'll also use something like um uh Creator hooks Pro and so Creator hooks Pro you could type in an upcoming video idea I did that for

[42:51] this video by the way I was like Mr Beast uh software to blow your mind like you want to rewind this part just to screenshot you

[43:06] marketing and business now this is what's crazy is Select click here to what's crazy is Select click here to select the trigger just just wait so to even think about these triggers is an elite level of YouTube content creation

[43:23] and so the triggers are there's a lot there's Authority beginners confirm suspicions constraint contrast counterintuitive credibility curiosity daily desire drama epic extreme fear fomo future list mistake move from Pain

[43:38] negativity new opportunity open loop paino question refute objection regret secret specific audience stop time frame timeliness warning weird in X versus y timeliness warning weird in X versus y wow so let's just throw one out there so

[43:53] I'm going to go Mr B software overrated and then X versus Y is going to say Mr B software versus top competitor overrated debate so I could go like Mr B software versus vid IQ right or something like that the truth about Mr B software

[44:07] overrated or not and all of these right you could save them to favorites if you want what I often do is I copy them and move them over to a do the ones that sand out to me and this this again is one of those things that'll send you

[44:20] look at all the different triggers and angles that a titter title could take is Mr B software over rated The Ugly Truth why Mr B software may be overrated and on and on so then you could get into um let's go to like beginners and you could

[44:36] let's go to like beginners and you could say again spin it up creater hooks Pro uh 10 reasons why Mr B's software is overrated for beginners I actually that's I kind of do think it's probably overrated for beginners or brand new

[44:49] overrated for beginners or brand new channels um and and so of course you're you're also thinking about what is the actual honesty you might go that's a cool idea but that's not even really what I believe or

[45:02] it's not what I'm talking about so that would be not ethical clickbait that'd be bad clickbait so whatever so anyways this is a tool that I I like to use um this is a tool that I I like to use um and uh then also thumbnail

[45:15] test.com and out of all the different ways to thumbnail test like I have a feeling we're going to keep paying for this and we're going to keep paying for this and using this after YouTube releases their

[45:28] thumbnail test because it's because it's it's different like we'll see how it's different like we'll see how YouTube's test evolves we'll see how um once all crators get it but this is for

[45:43] people who especially want to go back and optimize their back catalog for a lot of creators I just don't think you have the time or the energy or the bandwidth to really do that at a high level but I

[45:55] remember when Evan carich spoke at growth video live and he talked about like at the level I mean he's got like 10 editors and he's also using OPC other people's content so he's chopping up like Oprah clips and Oprah's 21 Rules so

[46:08] just at the level of media company he had like six people on staff just doing thumbnail split tests so depending on like the scope and scale and volume of

[46:20] what you're doing then again something like this makes sense um like this makes sense um but at 37 a month 75 a month

[46:32] um it I don't think it makes sense again if you're just if you're just getting started so I think Elite level you know Pro creators or creators you got a lot of money coming in your business

[46:44] then I know 40 bucks a month could be a lot another 50 here another 50 there but thousands or tens of thousands coming in it's cost of doing business any contractor right I was talking to uh Kyle Anderson from think media he's our

[46:59] channel kind of oversees the different team of people working on it his dad drills wells in the Pacific Northwest and I asked him where he gets his tools and he was talking about I was like what brand are you a are you a Milwaukee or

[47:12] you a Ryobi or you a DeWalt he's like I'm DeWalt and then he was like but it's also got to be commercial grade so you go to Home Depot and you've got you know that consumer level DeWalt which is already going to be a lot better than

[47:26] Target brand or something but he's like no I gotta go to a shop where I'm gonna just the batteries a couple hundred bucks because I'm doing jobs all day long I need eight eight hours of power 10 hours of power and I need like that

[47:41] the tool what's the point he's a professional he's got a business that is crushing it and you're going to invest into higher level tools if you're running a higher level business so that is uh a few thoughts to uh

[47:58] any questions I got to scroll up if you do so retype them with four question do so retype them with four question marks before and after and in this video we've covered the tools I personally use I

[48:10] summarize those in the description um some of the thoughts on who this is for we talked about all the tools on vid stats Pro and we um let me hit my predictions why any kind of questions are coming in where's this all

[48:25] going well number one I think that uh betting on Mr Beast is probably a pretty good bet so I think not just for what view stats Pro is today but what it's going to be he's an obsessive person and is obsessed with

[48:38] YouTube and obsessed with scaling and building so it would seem to me that he would commit to making this great in terms of throwing money at it developers at it and all that kind of stuff at it so I I predict not only are the five

[48:51] tools there I think great for the right person at the right the Creator at the right level but I think it will just keep getting better and uh I bet we could predict that I think number two I think we could predict that all these

[49:05] softwares are going to steal from each other and if you look at what happened with Snapchat in its day blowing up and you know it's still going for young people but it kind of has basically the stories feature and expiring videos and

[49:20] whatnot and then meta Facebook and Instagram took that feature right and then you take something like reals which is essentially a Tik Tok and now LinkedIn is doing reals and Instagram's doing reals and Facebook's doing reals

[49:34] so when it comes to these different SAS platforms and software as a service and different things no doubt about it it's just going to be weird to see how they take different tools perhaps from each other and and uh and then we'll see

[49:48] where it goes so are we on the way to some YouTube super tool eventually um and then I think number three is I think with any business you want to differentiation like sometimes it might be like it's the same thing but you pick

[50:03] a different Niche like the software might even be the same but it's like for build a great piece of software like it's the same as other things but you narrow down because of who the audience is for so if I'm thinking about these

[50:17] softwares I think if you become like Mr Beast just has a brand I think he's probably loved by a lot of people but is going to over index on entertainment over index on people that are going to

[50:30] make similar content to him like the Ryan Trey hands so he'll have a ton of in that Niche and if I'm a different software I may be thinking about how different is better than better how do I figure out my angle and find the right

[50:42] figure out my angle and find the right product Market fit or carve out tools that are specialty um you know in terms of let's say search-based and more like keyword type of thinking or search-based Evergreen type of thinking versus viral

[50:57] type of thinking um and uh it's going to be a wild ride I'll tell you that is what I would um expect and so uh with that a couple questions topic for this but Jeffrey happy to answer your question what do you think

[51:12] about a bilingual podcast if you never want to upload videos or audios that if you think you're going to reach an audience that's all bilingual then great people are not bilingual then you're also going to cut out that audience and

[51:28] also going to cut out that audience and so um I think that that it's the strategy sorry how old are you I appreciate the question guess um I just appreciate the question guess um I just turned 40 so I am 40 years young and uh

[51:44] I do see a couple questions coming in in regards to uh non YouTube software so regards to uh non YouTube software so with that smash like and uh and check out a summary in the description below time codes and chapters uh I hope that

[51:58] curious what do you think about view stats what do you think about what's your favorite tools or some other tools or future videos you'd like me to make if you're a hashtag replay fan tell me in the comments and uh my name is Sean

[52:11] canel your guide to building a profitable YouTube channel I appreciate profitable YouTube channel I appreciate you and I'll catch you in the next one
