How do you dub your courses, like the Claude Code course? What tool did you use, and what do you think about YouTube native dubbing?

YouTube native dubbing is unfortunately not very good. You can't really do it for long-form courses automatically, so you have to do it yourself, and that's what I've been doing. I've been using ElevenLabs. It's been okay. The issue is obviously it's all flagged as AI because I'm using an AI voice dubbing tool, but it's not the end of the world. We've also experimented with specific dubbing channels like Mix Ride Bengali, for instance, where I dub and do some lip sync stuff. These are all being flagged as AI and there's like zero performance on them, which fucking blows. So I'm probably going to redo that. I'm not 100% sure.

For your learning video, what did you use as the AI editing stack? What did you do for sound effects?

I just use Claude. I use Claude to do all my editing nowadays. It works 100% of the time, I have zero issues with it, and it works just as good, if not better, than human editors. And if it doesn't work as good as a human editor today in specific instances, you can rest assured it'll probably be as good as a human editor in three months. So building infrastructure to use it today will probably pay you more than hiring an editor to do it for you — unless, of course, you have massive needs.

Is the video you’re discussing AI‑generated?

No, it is not. Thank you. We did try AI‑generated content. I should note the stack so far seems to be: use HeyGen to replicate the person (that’s the video), then use 11 Labs to replicate their voice (the audio). If you really want to add "alpha," you’d add a noise layer and alter the noise levels. The reason is that a lot of AI‑generated voices are just the voice with no other audio, which is very noticeable. Adding background noise and other ambient sounds makes it less noticeable. We tried that on Instagram, but honestly we didn’t do a very good job and I’m not sure the video is still up, so I’ll probably remove it. We keep experimenting, but I feel a much better approach is to be transparent—clearly label the content as AI, e.g., "XYZ AI," or use very short‑form platforms where repeatability isn’t an issue. On YouTube long‑form, everyone knows who you are, so AI‑generated content stands out more. Short‑form TikToks for a faceless channel can work as AI‑influencer content.\n\n"Okay, anyway. Eric says, \"This pushes me to actually accomplish the things that I should be doing sooner in my business and will initially drive me revenue and growth.\" Thanks very much, Eric.",

Since YouTube is your main acquisition channel, which of your videos bring you 90% of customers for Maker School?

It's almost entirely my long-form course videos about AI and automation specifically. Let me go and find one of these; it's almost always just like my crazy long-form ones. For example, the N8N full course one—what I learned instead of automation in 2026, watch me start and sell a service in 10 hours, five boring AI automations, and then build your first ad business in 6 hours. Anyway, hopefully that was fun, but damn, man. Pay attention to people's eyes from here on out because you never know.
