ViralOutlier is LIVE (Youtubers pay attention) 👇 I am a Youtuber who got 12M views, 170k on his channel EatTheBlocks. Getting good video ideas has been the most important factor in my success. My most reliable source of good ideas was my competitors: every week, I check out what my competitors are doing, and what is working. But the monitoring process is very tedious I built a tool to automate the process, for myself. Then I decided to make the tool available to others. This is ViralOutlier. If you are a Youtuber who is struggling to get more views, sign up for the tool, register a few competitors, and your views will take off: viraloutlier.com

I am building an AI coach for Youtubers. (and it's free) ChatGPT / Claude are great for finding interesting patterns on your Youtube channel. But it's annoying to constantly export analytics data from your Analytics dashboard and paste it into ChatGPT / Claude. You tend to do this export only once, and it goes stale quickly, and it's just a small subset of the available data. What if you could have your whole Youtube data automatically injected in chatGPT / Claude, and constantly kept up-to-date? I am building this integration, as a product that everybody can use. And it's gonna be FREE. For the v1, I will focus on the integration with Claude Code. With this, you can turn Claude Code into your personal Youtube coach. Its answers will be data-backed,specifically tailored to your channel. Not some general platitudes that don't apply to your niche. If you want to receive an invitation link to use my Youtube AI coach for free, comment "INTERESTED", plus a link to your Youtube channel. (limited to the first 20 people)
Update: my project ViralOutlier (1of10 clone / Tracks viral videos on Youtube) didnt go anywhere. I just had 1 paid user, after several month. I barely did any marketing, so it's not very surprising. I haven't completely given up on this idea, but in the meantime I had another, more innovative idea of a Youtube tool. I will make ViralOutlier free, and focus on another project (more details in next tweet)

📚I have read 100+ books last year 👇Here is my top 10 📕The beginning of infinity - David Deutsch One of these rare books that changes the way you think. It will also make you an optimist. Technically, it’s an epistemology book. The theory of knowledge. But it’s also about human progress. How we can get better at everything. It claims that all our problems are related to a lack of knowledge, and our solvable. There is an absolute morality, and we can find it. The book offers strong arguments against environmental zealots, post-modernism, and cultural relativism. 📕The average is over - Tyler Cowen 10y ago, a famous economist accurately predicted the impact of AI on jobs and the economy. He reveals which jobs will disappear, and which ones will survive. AI is different from previous tech revolutions: less jobs will be created than those destroyed. And it will reinforce existing inequalities on the job market: the top performers will make more money, all the other less, or be unemployed 📕The road - Cormac McCarthy A post-apocalyptic novel. Dark but beautiful. A father and son try to survive in a post-apocalyptic America. 📕Hail Mary - Andy Weir Great Sci-Fi novel. A scientist is sent in a spaceship in a last ditch attempt to save humanity. I loved the dual-timeline narration, with interleaved flashbacks. Same author as the Martian. 📕Make: bootstrappers handbook - Pieter Levels The book on indiehacking and building SaaS, written by the most famous indiehacker. You don’t need to build something big. Build a small solution for small problem for a small audience. It’s both inspiring, and immediately useful with lots of practical advice. 📕AI Engineering - Chip Huyen In 2025, I wanted to catch up with AI. I wasn’t sure where to start. I wanted to know just enough about LLMs to interface with them, but I didn’t need to go too deep, as I won’t build them. This book was exactly what I needed. 📕How to fail at everything and still win big - Scott Adams The author of the famous Dilbert comics tells us about his long string of failures before finally becoming successful. You don't need to be excellent in any field to be successful. You can create a lot of value with a unique combination of average skills. 📕Into Africa - Martin Dugard The exploration of Africa for finding the source of the Nile. It’s like Indiana Jones except it is a real, brutal story. 📕Spice - Roger Crawley The quest for the Moluccas archipelago - the unique source of rare spices - long coveted by Europeans, but only discovered in the 16th century. Fantastic travel adventures, including the epic expedition of Magellan who sailed the Pacific Ocean for the first time. 📕Imperial Twilight - Stephen R Platt The early commercial relations between the British and Chinese, and how it led up to the Opium Wars and the cession of Hong Kong to Britain. It's very relevant for understanding China and its relationship with the West.

Currently reading a book about Vibe Coding from well-respected programmers: “While YouTube influencers grab headlines by generating World War II flight simulators in a single prompt, we’re focused on bringing vibe coding into professional software engineering.” I am the Youtuber...😭 piped.video/rB0soVsiBLI?si=W1dl…

Note to my future self: never ever announce a new product just before Christmas when nobody care...
I am launching a brand new tool to help Youtubers skyrocket their views. In 2017, I started my Youtube channel, and it changed my life. In just a few years, I went from someone who wondered if he would ever amount to anything in life to a recognized expert in his niche, with 12M views, several millions dollars of revenue, and more than 1000 videos published. In the process, I have learned a very simple method to find viral video ideas, consistently, without taking any risk. It's called the outlier method: 1. Make a list of your competitors on Youtube 2. Regularly check their channels and identify their outliers (i.e best-performing videos compared to the average) 3. ...and…just copy them! (with your personal touch, of course). While it’s simple, it’s also really time-consuming and boring. That's why I created ViralOutlier, a tool to help you that automatically monitor your competitors and show you their outliers. If you want to get early access, follow this link: viraloutlier.com
