100% disagree. Organic on YouTube isn’t as strong as TikTok or LinkedIn but it’s still there. I’ve done a two pronged strategy where I direct LinkedIn traffic to YouTube with decent success. I have another close friend who repurposes YouTube content for TikTok and has had great success. He focuses on heavy metal meme music, and does a vertical video edit for TikTok. I repurpose YouTube videod for LinkedIn and have had similwr success. I reccomend taking 10-15 minute videos on YouTube and slicing them up, adding subtitles on something like zubtitle.com for LinkedIn if you’re trying to build a funnel to sell courses.

I don’t understand why you wrote you disagree. In your other comment, you said, “ Youtube is a GRIND. My friends who ”made” it posted three quality videos a week. For 1-2 years. While working full time. Before they had ANY significant traction. For your first year expect to make MAYBE $10k, if AND ONLY IF, you post 3 quality videos a week.” That sounds similar to my advice. There was a time when that kind of effort was not as necessary. I agree your playbook is a solid approach for people willing to work hard.

  I'm not sure if there was a time where this wasn't necessary, outside of a few lucky people. I could be wrong though. Even if you get lucky and your 3rd piece of content goes viral (which happened to my friend on TikTok recently, 350k views in 24 hours), the only way to capitalize on it is to keep consistently posting afterwards. One viral video won't necessarily pay that much cash and it won't necessarily build an audience over the long term.

Your description sounds an awful lot as if you're actually re-posting other people's content as if it was your own. While I agree that your subtitles will add value, "your" video will most likely be considered a derivative work so you might be sued for this.

  You're right, I wasn't clear. What I'll do is post a 30 minute technical presentation on YouTube that I've given, but then slice it up into two minute clips for LinkedIn, change the aspect ratio to make it a square rather than a rectangle (it fills up more of the screen real estate on a person's phone that way), and add subtitles because I know mobile users often times watch videos without listening to the sound. Reposting other pieces of content you don't own won't get you anywhere, the copyright strike mechanism is crazy extreme. My friends who post guitar covers detune the song by a few percentage points in order to bypass the copyright strike filter, even though they're 1000% within fair use.
