Howdy,

Here is your weekly dose of The Creator Stream, a list of what I’m enjoying and exploring in the Creator Economy. Please feel free to forward this along to friends.

My Favourite Things This Week

📖 Twitter Thread I'm Reading

Top YouTubers Share Their Valuable Tips for Beginner Creators - In a recent tweet, Paddy Galloway asked YouTubers with over a million subscribers to share a piece of advice for beginner creators aiming to improve their videos. The responses poured in from huge names like Karl Jacobs, Ryan Trahan, Codie Sanchez, Fidias, Thomas Frank, and several others.

What surprised me was how varied their advice was and in some cases clashed with another's opinion. Take a moment to read through their insights and learn from the best of the best, who have established remarkable communities on their YouTube channels.

🛠️ Creator Tool I'm Using

AI Tool That Speeds Up Video Editing - This week I've been trying out Gling.ai, an AI video editing tool that does all the work for you. This tool allows you to upload your MP4 files and it will take a few minutes to analyze your footage and present a pre-edited piece of content.

It works by cutting out all the irrelevant parts such as the bad takes, "umms and ahhs" and other mistakes leaving you with more time to focus on creating. Sefi from Gling has provided me with a sponsored code that gives you an entire month for free. Just use code: CREATORSTREAM

📖 Twitter Thread I'm Reading

I Spent 100 Hours in Capsule Hotels Thumbnail Breakdown - On my Twitter feed this week, I came across a fascinating thread by TKG about YouTuber 'Drewdoes', who spent 100 hours in Japan's compact capsule hotels.

The video's captivating thumbnail has garnered 4.6 million views on a channel with only 37k subscribers. Be sure to check out the Twitter thread for a breakdown of the meticulous planning and creative considerations that went into designing this clickable thumbnail.

Thanks for reading, if you want to reach out to me, just send a tweet to @WhiffenYT. Have a wonderful weekend!
