Hey guys, i was editing my latest video and this is the AI avatar i have decided to go with. It's a custom avatar i generated with Gemini and animated using Elevenlabs. The reason why i ask is because i saw the latest post by David where he said most AI avatars look fake and that the viewer could tell that it is right away. I'm not looking for perfection or to trick my viewers into thinking my avatar is a real person. But i don't want people to click away thinking that it's a low quality video just by watching a few seconds of the introduction either. I wanna hear your opinion on it, and whether anyone knows any tricks to make the avatar look/sound better.

Just posted a new video and the whole point is three words: make ugly videos. Here's what I see all the time. Somebody takes two days to script, drags their feet on hitting record, then spends two more days editing. That's a week for one video. Then they skip the next week. So they're getting two, maybe three videos out a month. The problem with that isn't the upload schedule. It's that whatever confidence you built making that video is gone by the time you sit down to make the next one. You need reps. And the only way to get reps is to make the process so simple that hitting record isn't a big deal. Hit record, make the video, upload it. Done. And no, an AI avatar isn't the shortcut. People click off the second they see it's fake. If you're recommending products, people want to hear it from a real person who had the same problem they have. I mess up my words in this video and I left it all in. That's kind of the point. Your challenge: record one ugly video this week. No script, no editing, one take. Then drop the link in the comments so we can all cheer you on. Who's in?

You totally missed it 🤯

Today. 4pm Eastern. That’s in a few hours. Here are your options: Option A: Get on the call. We talk YouTube, we talk money, somebody asks a question that turns out to be the exact thing you were stuck on, and you leave knowing what to do next. Option B: Don’t get on the call. I sit there alone, talking to my own face on a screen like a man who’s lost a bet. I’ll still do the whole thing. Out loud. To nobody. My wife will walk by and worry. I’m a 58-year-old man in Florida. I have very few needs. One of them is that you click a link at 4pm. Today we’re covering: YouTube, Making Money Online (With YouTube), and other YouTube Stuff... “But David, I haven’t even started my channel yet.” Perfect. That’s who this call is for. Nobody is going to quiz you. You can show up with zero videos, zero subscribers, and a camera you’re scared of. Half the room started there. “But David, I’m busy at 4.” No, you’re not. You were going to scroll. I know because I was also going to scroll. Bring a question. Bring a half-baked video idea. Bring nothing and lurk with your camera off like a little raccoon. I don’t care. Just be there. 4 pm Eastern. Link’s in the calendar. See you there, or I’m telling everyone you punked out. David

What are some good tools (with affiliate programs) that content creators use these days? Particularly focused on Youtube creator tools right now. I have already made 2 videos about Pictory, but interested in what else is out there that you guys have had success with. Also, looking forward to joining the Live today! Thank you!
