"**1. BUSINESS IDEA- An app that rates your ugliness based on a selfie**

[YouTube Link:

This app, called Umax, asks users to take a selfie and then rates their ugliness on a scale of 1 to 100. The app also provides users with a \"potential\" score, which is what their rating could be if they improved their appearance. The app rates users on a variety of factors, including jawline, masculinity, grooming, skin quality, and hair. The app is designed to be humorous, but some users may find it offensive. For $3.99, you get to satisfy your vanity and find out how ugly you are.

Her Viral Formula Breaks 100 Million Views On YouTube Shorts (ft/ Jenny Hoyos)

"## -BUSINESS IDEA- 1. The Anti-Mr Beast

[YouTube Link:

Jenny Hoyos, an 18-year-old YouTuber, has carved a niche for herself as \"the anti-Mr Beast,\" creating videos around the concept of being a \"cheapskate.\" While Mr Beast is known for spending millions on his videos, Hoyos focuses on achieving similar outcomes on a shoestring budget, making her content relatable and engaging for a vast audience. This unique positioning has earned her the moniker \"Mr. Least,\" which serves as excellent branding, further distinguishing her from the extravagant content prevalent on YouTube.

## -BUSINESS IDEA- 2. Charisma Building Routine

[YouTube Link:

To overcome her introverted nature and develop her on-camera presence, Jenny implemented a unique daily routine. In the mornings, she studied charisma techniques from the YouTube channel \"Charisma on Command,\" consciously applying these learnings throughout her day. Every evening, she challenged herself with an hour-long improvised stand-up comedy routine, solely for her own consumption. This self-imposed exercise helped her conquer her fear of awkwardness, develop confidence, and refine her natural charisma. Additionally, she recorded snippets of her day, further honing her on-camera personality. This deliberate practice, though seemingly \"cringe,\" proved instrumental in building the charisma that makes her videos compelling.

## -BUSINESS IDEA- 3. Low Stakes Video Concepts

[YouTube Link:

In a world oversaturated with extravagant YouTube stunts and exorbitant monetary challenges, Jenny believes low-stakes concepts can be equally compelling, especially on platforms like YouTube Shorts. By focusing on relatable everyday scenarios and adding a personal touch, her videos resonate with a wider audience who might feel desensitized to high-stakes content. This approach fosters genuine likability, differentiating her from the increasingly commonplace high-stakes challenges that have numbed viewers to inflated numbers and outlandish scenarios.

## -BUSINESS IDEA- 4. The \"But\" Storytelling Method

[YouTube Link:

Inspired by the South Park creators, Jenny advocates for the \"but\" method of storytelling to inject conflict and intrigue into otherwise mundane narratives. Instead of a linear progression of events (\"and then, and then\"), she encourages creators to introduce constant conflict by replacing conjunctions like \"and\" with \"but\" or \"so.\" This technique forces the introduction of obstacles and challenges, compelling the protagonist (and the viewer) to constantly adapt and overcome new hurdles, making even the simplest story captivating.

## -BUSINESS IDEA- 5. Building Tools for Analyzing Short Form Videos

[YouTube Link:

To maximize viewer engagement and achieve specific goals like increasing subscriber conversion, Jenny\'s team has developed a suite of tools that analyze her short-form video performance. These tools involve manually tagging videos with various attributes \342\200\223 including family involvement, content type (malicious, wholesome, etc.), and specific calls to action \342\200\223 and correlating these attributes with key performance metrics like views, retention, and subscriber conversions. This data-driven approach reveals insights beyond standard YouTube analytics, enabling her to strategically tailor her content to achieve desired outcomes.

## -BUSINESS IDEA- 6. Outlier Video Concept Identification

[YouTube Link:

Recognizing that high view counts don\'t always equate to exceptional concepts, Jenny has a system for identifying outlier videos \342\200\223 those that significantly outperform a creator\'s average viewership. Her process involves diligently monitoring trending videos across platforms, pinpointing those that have achieved unusually high view counts for their respective channels. She then analyzes these outliers to discern common elements that contribute to their exceptional performance, creating a swipe file of inspiration for her own content. This strategy goes beyond simply mimicking popular videos, focusing on the underlying principles that drive virality.

## -BUSINESS IDEA- 7. Pixar Style Content Strategy

[YouTube Link:

Aiming for broad appeal, Jenny has adopted a content strategy inspired by Pixar\'s ability to create stories enjoyed by audiences of all ages. This involves crafting engaging content suitable for younger viewers without resorting to the typical high-energy, overly stimulating style often associated with kids\' content. Simultaneously, she ensures the content remains mature enough to resonate with adults, creating a multi-generational appeal similar to Pixar\'s successful formula. Incorporating her mother in videos further strengthens this strategy, offering different perspectives and allowing for relatable experiences for both young and older viewers.

How I Turned $49k In Debt To $500 Million

"## 1. BUSINESS IDEA - Patrick Bet-David\'s Insurance Company (PHP Agency, Inc.)

[YouTube Link:

Patrick Bet-David\'s insurance company, PHP Agency, Inc., operates on a high-volume recruiting model, drawing inspiration from his experiences at Bally Total Fitness and Transamerica. He recognized the importance of a strong sales pitch and developed comprehensive FAQs for different aspects of the business. Unlike multi-level marketing, PHP agents don\'t earn from recruitment alone. Instead, income is generated by recruiting, licensing, and training new agents who actively sell insurance, as well as through personal sales. PHP carves its niche by targeting demographics often overlooked in the industry: middle America, Hispanics, African Americans, and millennials. This strategic focus, combined with a nationwide presence, propelled the company to $2 million in sales in its first year (2009) and over $100 million by 2022.

## 2. BUSINESS IDEA - Valuetainment

[YouTube Link:

Initially a side project, Valuetainment began as a content creation platform where Patrick shared insights and interviews, attracting a significant following without directly selling insurance. As its popularity surged, reaching a million subscribers, it organically evolved into a multifaceted business encompassing a podcast, consulting firm, product development, and an investment group. Valuetainment\'s success stemmed from its alignment with Patrick\'s values and principles, creating an authentic brand that resonated with a large audience.

## 3. BUSINESS IDEA - Manet

[YouTube Link:

Inspired by an interaction with his lawyer who billed in 30-minute increments, Patrick envisioned Manet - a platform connecting users with professionals for paid consultations. Manet offers flexible communication options, allowing users to choose between audio, video, or 50-minute calls. The platform operates on an 80/20 revenue split, with the professional receiving the majority share, making it a lucrative opportunity for both parties.

## 4. BUSINESS IDEA - Future Looks Bright Gear

[YouTube Link:

Future Looks Bright Gear is Patrick\'s foray into the merchandise business. Aiming to inspire optimism and counter the negativity prevalent in society, the company sells hats and shirts emblazoned with the slogan \"Future Looks Bright.\" Their objective is to reach a million customers and spread a message of hope and positivity.

## 5. BUSINESS IDEA - Other Businesses

[YouTube Link:

Beyond the ventures detailed above, Patrick mentions owning a cigar business, a comedy club, and \"a couple other ancillary businesses,\" highlighting his diverse entrepreneurial portfolio. This brief mention underscores his expansive approach to business and his willingness to explore different industries.

## BUSINESS LEARNING - Blue Ocean Strategy

[YouTube Link:

Reading \"Blue Ocean Strategy\" was a pivotal moment for Patrick, teaching him the importance of carving a niche in an uncontested market space (blue ocean) rather than directly competing in a crowded market (red ocean). Applying this concept to PHP, he identified the underserved demographics within the insurance industry, leading to significant growth and success. This learning underscores the power of strategic differentiation and market positioning in achieving business success.

[YouTube Link:

This segment discusses the importance of having a CEO who understands the core business of the company, using the Boeing case as an example. It argues that having a CEO who doesn\'t understand the complexities of building airplanes, like an accountant in this case, can lead to major problems. The speaker emphasizes that a CEO should have a deep understanding of the company\'s core operations, suggesting that this is essential for effective leadership. The phrase \"they\'re just fing widgets\" highlights a dismissive attitude towards the company\'s products, implying that such an attitude from a CEO can be detrimental.
