Find outperforming YouTube videos and newsletter advertisers
Manus browsed YouTube for videos outperforming their channel size and identified 20 companies advertising in AI newsletters with contact details, then was set up for scheduled research runs.
Done withManus
- What they did
- The author ran two research tasks in Manus at the same time. One had it browse YouTube for AI-tool videos from the last month that beat their channel size on views. The other asked for 20 companies that advertised in AI and no-code newsletters in the last month. He spot-checked the results, then set the advertiser task to run daily at 11 AM and the YouTube task weekly.
- How it went
- Manus returned a trends summary and a spreadsheet of advertisers with ad copy and contact details. Spot checks confirmed sponsors like 11 Labs and IBM, but some contact details were missing and some newsletters were misattributed.
- Worth knowing
- Verify the data before acting on it. The author says specific prompts matter, and the post is sponsored by Manus.
Try it yourself with Manus
Browse YouTube and find [number] videos in [niche] that are getting far more views than their channel size would suggest, noting the title, channel, subscriber count, views, and why it might be working. Then give me a spreadsheet of companies advertising in [newsletters or niche] with their contact details from public sources. Don't contact anyone; just deliver the lists and stop when done.
