Episode notes
Internal Analytics Became A Creator Toolbox
- Jimmy built internal analytics for six years and turned it into ViewStats Pro to share high-value creator tools.
- The tool surfaces outliers, thumbnail search, and AB tests to help creators brainstorm and optimize their channel strategy.
Outliers Reveal Scalable Viral Formats
- Jimmy finds repeatable breakout ideas by studying outliers that perform multiples above a channel's average.
- He uses cross-format trends (e.g., $1 vs $100 across niches) as inspiration to scale concepts into 'beast' versions.
Copy With Taste—Add Your Unique Spin
- Do not copy-and-paste viral videos; use 'copy with taste' and add your unique spin and voice.
- Invent your own style so viewers choose you, not a lower-budget imitation.
