Tomorrow's World

Who would’ve thought. A platform, that shares videos would be so popular.

A simple idea. Tested by the founders of YouTube, by uploading a video of them at the zoo. And then… boom! people wanted to watch it. And it got popular. Quick. More and more people started uploading and more and more people started watching.

Not just that.

People have made good money from it!

Take Mr Matt Armstrong as a UK YouTuber example.

His first few videos were of him fixing a Audi A3 in his driveway. He wasn’t sure why people would even want to watch it! But he filmed it, and put it on YouTube. Guess what, people did want to watch it. And then he made more videos. More people watched it. And so…. he’s now fixing multi-million pound super cars like Lamborghini’s and Ferrari’s. He’s even been able to purchase his dream home, a new garage, etc… He’s got people working for him!

So what’s the secret?

1. It’s all about what you’re good at!
   • Your niche. Your passion. Your hobby. That’s what will make you successful.
   • Finance, Cars, Football, etc… whatever it is, specialise in one area and explore it to the fullest!
2. Engage with your audience!
   • Matt is always asking his audience how to fix something or help with something – people out there may know a little more than you and that’s ok!
   • Ask questions, film videos with them, etc…
3. Consistency wins!
   • Keep producing and sharing videos!
   • Don’t give up after a few
   • Branch out from YouTube but keep your channel going with content
4. What will keep you audience tuning in?
   • Level up! Get onto bigger challenges! Bigger better bolder!
   • There’s YouTubers who keep pushing boundaries!

And remember… it’s not too late!

I’m sure you’ve got a skill people would want to learn from.

There was a gentleman who started a channel aimed for young boys who don’t have fathers, teaching them fatherly things such as shaving, changing a tire, etc…

If you started a channel tomorrow… what would it be about?

Deepseek. ChatGPT. And there’s a whole host more of these AI tools that are available. But what does the future hold?

Let’s be honest. If you’ve not experienced any of the latest AI tools, you’ve probably been living under a rock! So many downloads, so much content… bloggers have AI writing their blogs (not that I’d do that… you can tell with my grammar and spelling mistakes!)

But where’s it all going?

Well, remember what robots did at the end of a production line to the workers stood there? Yep, that’s right… took their jobs. Whilst there’s many rumors that AI will take jobs, unfortunately it’s true.

Those manual, repetitive, operational tasks… guess what, you got it… AI will be able to do it quicker and easier.

Not only that.

It’ll become more intelligent.
It’ll become more transformational.

Industries will change. In fact, we’re seeing the change now.

Let’s rewind the clock for a moment. Remember when managers in companies had Personal Assistants (PA’s) helping them write tasks down and organise items. We’ve slowly progressed to Alexa/Siri. The next step would be AI knows so much about you and what it needs to do that it’ll do it all for you. And it’ll be so advanced, that you wouldn’t even know it’s being done.

Scary, right?

Yes and no. There’s so much data out there. About you. And the more you feed it… the bigger it grows (like many things).

I’d suggest, don’t be afraid of AI. Explore it.

If you’ve not downloaded any of the AI apps, go ahead, download, explore and see what it can do for you. I recently had AI build a volunteer excel file for me, for a charity where I volunteer. A task that would usually take another volunteer a few hours. Took me best part of 5 minutes.

I’ll share in some up and coming blog posts how to get the best out of AI. Or if you want to know sooner… drop a comment/message to me and I’ll send it over to you.
