Hey, thanks for joining for another week of New Venture Weekly.
Firstly, I just launched a database of over 10,000 business ideas. I spent a very long time building this and I plan on adding even more ideas in the future. I would love to know what you think.
Now onto today’s topic:
AI voiceovers are getting crazy good and people are starting to make full-blown podcasts, thanks to tools like Google’s NotebookLM.
The opportunities for this are endless so I thought I’d share some of my favourites.
But one thing I want to be very clear on before starting - just because this is AI-generated content, doesn’t mean it’ll be easy. You still have to put in effort.
The barrier to entry is very low, meaning anyone can do it, which means you need to work even harder to stand out.
Anyway, let’s jump in!
👀 Things Worth Checking Out
Cold Email Setup Offer
We started sending 10,000 cold emails per day, and scaled a brand new B2B offer to $108k MRR in 90 days. Now, you can have the same system set up (completely done-for-you) inside your own business - WITHOUT going to spam, spending thousands of dollars, or any manual input. Close your next 20 clients easily. We’ll set up the tech, write your scripts, give you the leads, give you the inboxes, and the sending tool - all starting at $500/mo.
🧐 Opportunities:
This guy has over 800k subscribers and almost all of his videos are AI-generated.
You can use AI tools to turn written content into engaging podcast episodes r short-form videos.
Use ChatGPT to generate scripts on niche topics (listed below) and then use Wondercraft to turn that text into natural-sounding podcast voiceovers.
Use LTX studio to create animated videos for this podcast and then upload to TikTok, Instagram & YouTube Shorts. Alternatively, you can also use a tool like Revid or Invideo to make the video.
You can even use HeyGen to create AI avatars for your podcast. You could create Loom-style videos with this technique. Here’s a video showing you how.
How to Grow:
This is a volume game, so if you can pump out multiple videos a day (like 3-5 high-quality videos), over time you’ll eventually build momentum.
Remember, you want the videos to be educational and entertaining. Don’t just post brain rot videos.
If you’re gaining any momentum after a while, your videos are probably shit. Keep experimenting and keep a record of what works and what doesn’t.
