He proposes feeding the YouTube comments into an AI system, passing historical data, and labeling comments as P1 (fresh/new), P2 (already done), or P3 (already answered). Start the video by addressing P1 comments. For P2 and P3, in the last five minutes of the video, direct viewers to the right resource—via email, a comment with a link, etc.—so you still have ideas to answer within your video time. He thinks it’s a great idea that delays the problem a bit by giving the AI autonomy; eventually most comments become P1, and the number of P1 questions will exceed the total comments you receive each day.
It would be nice to have longer videos or clear the backlog, but I prefer keeping videos human and well‑reasoned; a “Nick bot” isn’t realistic. I’ve tried recording many videos before and it became unwieldy. I have more content coming and am currently on vacation, so the shorter 10‑20‑minute format is intentional; I’ll keep delivering quality over quantity.
High ticket is going to be tough here, but there are some simple AI-enabled services you could sell to online coaches like myself. One is need determination: if they run big communities, have a big brand, or get lots of YouTube comments, you can quickly build systems that scan everything customers are asking about, unclear on, or explicitly asking for videos on, and turn that into content. It usually surfaces very interesting insights most people miss. You can also build an "ask a question" funnel into the coach's inbound flow, or just tell people at the end of content to leave a comment. I pick what content to do next almost entirely based on your comments. How do I know this works? Because that's what I do, and I built the system myself. You wouldn't believe how many brands ask me what my packaging and ideation flow is, and the answer is I usually start with questions my customers ask me. Beyond that, you can use AI to shorten the time it takes to reach out to someone interested in a high-ticket offer, say $1,000 to $5,000 a month with four or five months of average churn, which might be worth $20,000. The usual flow is ads, PPC or organic to a landing page with a book-a-call funnel, setters reaching out to book the appointment and maximize show rate, then the closer on the call. You can use AI to automate a large portion of that, cut speed to lead, improve the quality of the conversations through intelligent automated replies, and automate the follow-ups.
Just be consistent with posting. When I started I had almost no viewers, but by posting regularly I grew to about 22k subscribers. Keep at it and you'll see growth.
Yeah, I’d be open to a 15‑minute call, but I’d rather do it in the morning when I’m fresh. I’ve been experimenting with using comment roasts instead of formal comment cards because they make better content and let me engage with you. I’m also looking at hiring help for ideation — having someone send me a few ideas each morning, picking one, and moving on without long feedback loops. I’ve realized my YouTube channel suffers from being forgotten in browse, so I need to work on both search and browse traffic. I’m also planning to record a fruit‑fly brain video soon.
