1/ YouTube Operator is live. It's the Notion template I use to plan my YouTube videos around a job and two kids. What's in it, who it's for, and who should skip it 🧵

Launch day notes: - a few people bought, which still feels unreal - one person found a broken link in 10 minutes (thank you, fixed) - I closed the laptop at 17:00 and went to the playground That last one is kind of the point of the whole template.

Credit where it's due: this exists because of @IAmPascio. Notion Money Academy taught me how to turn a Notion system into something people can buy. And @danmartell's Buy Back Your Time is the whole idea behind it: a channel that runs around a job and kids. Thank you both.

YouTube Operator goes live tomorrow (Fri 30 Oct). It's the Notion board I use to move each video from Idea to Live, around a job and two kids. No countdown. I'll post it here in the morning.

What YouTube Operator is not: - not a growth hack - not a course that promises 100k subs - not AI that makes videos for you It's a Notion template with one board from Idea to Live, room for title and thumbnail ideas, quality checklists, tags, a Description section and a calendar. Boring on purpose.

I did not build YouTube Operator because I wanted another dashboard. I built it because I was tired of trying to run creator projects from memory.

That is the deeper promise: Run the channel through a system so the channel does not run your life.

If you are building YouTube around real responsibilities, I built this for you.
