Tyson sits down with Ryan Webber to unpack the custom “YouTube research skill” he built in Claude that has transformed his law firm’s YouTube channel. Ryan shares how he took fifteen thousand dollars’ worth of training from top YouTube strategists plus six years of experience, loaded it into Claude, and created a skill that now does the research those strategists used to do for him.You will learn:Why YouTube is a click‑first platform and why titles, topics, and thumbnails are eighty percent of successHow Ryan’s skill scans niche and adjacent channels, pulls outlier videos, and turns them into ten prioritized title and thumbnail ideas with data to back them upThe shift from “YouTube for local clients only” to broader topics that took their channel to one hundred thousand subscribers and over one million views per monthHow Tiffany records just two hours a month, uses teleprompter scripts built in Claude, and still generates 1.5 million monthly viewsHow they turned seventy‑eight hundred dollars in monthly AdSense into roughly seventy thousand dollars in revenue by reinvesting into high‑ROI ads and funnelsRyan breaks down exactly how he uses cowork to trigger the skill, how it checks oneof10.com trackers and YouTube analytics, and why he now invests about eighty percent of his effort into research, titles, and thumbnails before ever worrying about video polish.
