Today I wanted to see how it can help me generating business ideas, in this case I used videos on YouTube as an example.
The content
In essence I sent three prompts to it that covered the basics. My first prompt was:
I want to create a five part series (each episode around 15 minutes) on youtube.
The course will be about Powershell and target towards beginners.
Give me 5 topics that these 5 episodes could be about.
My reasoning behind this was that it had to be a reasonable amount of work for me as a person, you might have a full time job or family to take care of for example. I also used something that interests me as a central topic for the video lessons and I made sure to be specific with my target audience.
ChatGPT generated 5 different lesson ideas that I then can curate and improve upon, depending on what I would like to teach and my skillset.
These are the lessons that was suggested to me:
Episode 1: Introduction to PowerShell - In this episode, you could cover the basics of PowerShell, including what it is, why it's important, and how to use it. You could also introduce the PowerShell console and some basic commands.
Episode 2: Variables and Data Types in PowerShell - This episode could cover how to use variables in PowerShell and the different data types that are available. You could also demonstrate how to manipulate variables in PowerShell, such as performing arithmetic operations and string concatenation.
Episode 3: PowerShell Cmdlets - In this episode, you could introduce PowerShell cmdlets, which are pre-built commands that can be used to perform specific tasks in PowerShell. You could cover some common cmdlets and demonstrate how to use them.
Episode 4: PowerShell Scripts - This episode could cover how to create and run PowerShell scripts, which are collections of PowerShell commands that can be executed as a single unit. You could demonstrate how to create a simple script and run it from the PowerShell console.
Episode 5: PowerShell Modules - In this final episode, you could introduce PowerShell modules, which are collections of related cmdlets, scripts, and other assets that can be shared and reused. You could cover how to find and install modules, as well as demonstrate how to use some common modules for tasks such as managing Active Directory or working with Azure resources.
The recording and editing software
In order to do the recording I need software that is free and can add voice over later on in the editing phase. After specifying my requirements to ChatGPT it brought me a suggestion of a software I hadn't heard about before. It is called OpenShot and I downloaded it and I'm going to test it during the day. This is what ChatGPT had to say about it:
One free video editing software that you can use to record your PowerShell lessons and add a separate voiceover track afterwards is OpenShot Video Editor.
OpenShot is a free and open-source video editing software that offers a variety of features, including the ability to add multiple audio and video tracks, transitions, effects, and titles. It supports many popular audio and video formats, so you should be able to import your recordings without any issues.
To add a separate voiceover track, you can simply record your audio separately using a microphone or audio recording software, then import the audio file into OpenShot and place it on a separate audio track. You can then adjust the volume levels and timing to sync the audio with your video footage.
Overall, OpenShot is a good option for beginners who are just getting started with video editing and want a user-friendly interface that is easy to learn.
Monetizing a YouTube channel
It had been a while since I saw the requirements to monetizxe your channel on YouTube. ChatGPT summarized the requirements like this:
- You need 1000 subscribers.
- You need 4000 of watched time in the past year.
- You need to meet the Terms of Service and other agreements of the community.
And this is how you start monetizing the channel:
- Go to the YouTube Studio dashboard.
- Click on "monetization" in the left sidebar.
- Follow the steps to accept the conditions of the YouTube Partner Program (YPP).
- You need an AdSense account and like it to your channel, this will give you payment for ads that are viewed on your videos. You will receive payments when your application is approved.
You can also earn money on YouTube through merchandise, affiliate marketing, sponsors and YouTube Premium revenue.
