Changing Editing Programs
My subscription runs out for CapCut Pro on 11.1. I am tapped out on money flowing out so I have decided to switch up editing programs! The down side, learning a new program. I have decided to go with DaVinci Resolve 21 the free version. I have heard from others on here it is a good option. I have heard it said many times, YouTube is no longer the go to place to learn things. Me being me, I did the YT search on learning DaVinci. Well, to all the DaVinci gurus, you didn't help! You assumed I knew some stuff! I was so confused and discouraged after watching a few videos. In my frustration I ran to my friendly assistant, ChatGPT to vent! Oh my goodness, I can't say enough about the step by step process Chat laid out for me to follow in publishing my first DaVinci video! What I thought would take me a month of learning, and practicing took just a few hours! It was a very simple video with some B-roll and music added, no fancy stuff like transitions and text overlay. But still for this 67 year old woman, I was excited to get it done without all the frustration! Bottom line, Chat can be used for LEARNING as well as a rock polisher for scripting! Just wanted to share the tip!

I just watched a video where a lady explained how to use ChatGPT with the editing program. If you have the paid version of ChatGPT , you can even do a screen share with ChatGPT and it explains you what to click and which button to press. This is extremely helpful, because with Gemini it took a while to find out that I was on a different page and it assumed a different version. Since I only have the free version , I did not try it , but in the video it looked convincing

@Jaye Brunner have a look at this video. Here the lady explains how she screen shares ChatGPT with her editing program without taking screenshots. They are both looking at the same screen and ChatGPT explains what to do. https://youtu.be/5yLFlf5Omuw?is=Ka6ua8rx9hHPtDAC
First Video is UP!!
Great excitement after lots of effort I've finally posted my first video. If you'd like a look here's the link https://www.youtube.com/@SelfAwareWomen If you'd like to have a look any feedback is welcome. I'm not sure why but when I search for the video my banner is not showing just the little icon which has to be changed (not tonite) . Frustration - any suggestions??

Great video Nanette, I have been putting off posting my first video thinking it would not be good enough. But your message was a nudge to get going. I like the way you set up your channel with this first video. Creating some curiosity, providing an overview of what you will be offering and leaving the listener with some small homework task. Are you using a teleprompter or are you just using bullet points ?

@Nanette Irvine ok. I will try that. I will pick up your idea of mentioning that it is the first video and what the channel will be about.
My Self
Hai guys, I am KJ , I am building my business through my youtube Channel and I am making content for the working professionals who have social anxiety and Freeze in their meeting to speakup with Authority if they have that anxiety recently I am started this niche I won't find it it finds me, before that I do random self help videos and watch many gurus nothing won't work, for 3 weeks I am following alexa in youtube, her videos shows me a path and I am now making content with satisfaction thank you. Sometimes my mind wondering is I am in a right track and I put a 1000rs for one hour consultation call in my description is I need to give free call or paid one this was my question running in my mind?

You could have a free 15-20 minute qualifying call. To book that free call people have to fill in a qualification form first which helps you prepare for that call and see if that client is a good fit. You can check what the client’s expectations are and what you could to for them. If they then agree to take you consultation you can charge for it
Pivoted - It worked and I just made an additional $15K
Hopefully this post topic is okay... if not sorry and feel free to remove. So last year I was focused on a youtube channel and I developed tools to help creators find their niche and develop their channel and it featured AI integration to tailor the tool to the individual. It went NO WHERE. I had made videos about the concept, and created a free software tool with paid add on featuers. There simply did not seem to be an audiance for the tools I was making. Now, this at first sound unrelated but it ties in... At the same time 5 seperate people asked me for help with something I had done in the past while I worked as a pilot. That is to develop a safety managment system for their company. The thing is, to do that you really need to know the individual company well. So then I descided, what if I adapted my tool I made for YouTubers, but instead made a tool that asked aviation companies questions about their operation and helped them develop and run their own safety management system. There is a new deadline that requires a whole bunch of small aviations companies to have something by May 2027. So I became super focused, I set up a formal company (FlyWise SMS), got my first client (who pays monthy for the service) and he was so pleased with what I provided that his company just asked me to help with another related task for an additional $15K. And I am getting other interest as well from other companies now. FlyWise SMS actually resulted in 2 spin off projects (1 is a 2nd company in itself, and the other might become one too). It required a lot of push, I had to teach myself some new programing skills, though I already had software developing experiance. I descided to hyperfocus on the development and stayed put on a 5 acre isolated property in the Philipeans and build the whole first pass of a multi-tenant software as a service tool in 34 days. I am a short sleeper and it is all I did (other than eat and sleep and adopt a stray kitten) for that time period and while I was developing it I made $0. But I stayed focused. There was still more to be done after that window of time but that was the big push.

@Margot Taylor That is an exiting video series by itself. How you discovered this new niche where you had the expertise and your clients have a compelling event and starting to monetise on it. This is a classical sales situation. In the first case nobody had a need to use and pay your tool - because there was nothing at stake or no big money for them to be made with it (at least not apparent to them) - now your clients face trouble if they don’t act - so they are eager for your solution ! Keep it up, you are on the right track
Confused Action Taker
Hello. I' reside in the Orlando area of Florida. I work remotely for my corporate gig which pays well but I've been trying in vain to attain other income streams for a year now to have more job security and double-time my retirement fund. I have no problems taking action, although I admit I'm a bit paralyzed at the moment. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to already be earning or on YT for the programs here. But Alex's videos resonated with me. This is what I have done so far. Maybe some of you can relate? 1) 9 months on IG posting twice daily for my personal finance offers. no sales or views or follows. TONS of classes and GPTs I paid for to help solve all the problems. finally shut it down. 2) just finished a freelance copywriting course. have my portfolio and website ready. the lesson on making a pitch list was only 14 minutes long. After 2 hours I have only 3 on companies on my pitch list. I'm supposed to pitch to 5 a day. making the website and portfolio was more fun than the actual copywriting, but it's a valuable skill to have, no doubt. just hard to use for yourself. 3) i've tried marketing what i do for my actual day job. reached out through LI, did Upwork and Fiverr profiles. got as far as 3 interviews for one company that was my only warm lead, but ultimately in my field people want actual positions that fit into what they hire for, and not a freelancer. they do contractors (i'm one now) but through large recruiting firms that employ us. not by a one off person reaching out. 4) i've got a spreadsheet i used to calculate college costs BEFORE applying and all the parents wanted it. i wasn't allowed to sell it in that group but i hired a programmer, had a website, got the thing all ready. no customers. About me: people come to me all the time for natural health advice. hormones. a supplement. some food ingredient. people i haven't heard from in years. my daughter is taking me on a journey personal training me in the gym and getting me counting macros and meal planning. i have quite a story where personal finance is concerned. a stranger walked up to me in a restaurant once when she overheard me giving my sister financial advice on the phone to say how much it helped her. people find my writing hilarious and engaging in social media groups where i'm not selling anything.

Looks like you have lots of topics to talk about. Alexa has a ton of videos on how to earn money on YouTube. One way could be through product sponsorship and affiliate links. You make a video and in that video you promote a product. People can buy it through a link and you get a commission. But first you have to find out : who is the person you are talking to ? What is their problem and how can you get that person from A to B to solve that problem ? Eg. Parents planning to send their kid to college. They have a lot of questions, doubts, worries. Especially about finances. Now you could gear your financial advice to those parents. The better you know the person you are talking to, the better you understand their struggles, the better you can help them and if you have products / consulting that help them they will be willing to buy them.
