And will it be good enough to make Alex replace his Samsung S3 Ultra? We review the Made By Google event and discuss whether Google has gone too far with their amazing AI tricks that the Pixel 8 Pro can now perform - after all, what is a photo? And then we chat over the anti-trust court case that Google are fighting right now, and how that implicates and affects creatives on YouTube.

Tech season is almost here and we’re getting ourselves ready for a busy few weeks ahead. We talk plenty about the upcoming iPhone 15 - what we’re expecting from it and the way that creators should be maximising their content on it. We talk about Apple Watch Ultra and how you can make it fit in with your Android lifestyle. Invalid traffic and the mess it’s creating is talked about again as it causes more and more mayhem as David gets hit by it! We ponder why at the same time YouTube are suddenly changing its ad policy - is it just a strange coincidence? And are the leaks from Google over their Pixel 8 all planned?

On this episode Alex & I are joined by Pete Matheson and boy, do we get down to business! We chat about how important it is to be business-minded when setting up a YouTube channel and having a strategy in mind. Then we go through the monetisation process, AdSense, sponsors and the Amazon Affiliate program. As Pete’s business and channel has grown he has found a huge benefit in outsourcing too. He has a team working with him now and pulls back the curtains to let us know how that helps and the benefits of it to him. Artificial Intelligence gets our attention and we look at the benefits it can have for a creator. And then we talk about contracts and how important they can be working with sponsors.

Alex & I are joined by Daniel Scuteri from the Tech with Benefits channel on this podcast. For many years Daniel worked with Samsung and only left about a month ago so he is able to give us the inside scoop on what it was really like to work for them and offers up some exclusive scoops. There’s a lot of Samsung chat this time around. We also cover the benefits of YouTube Shorts to a channel & a creator and what it’s like getting money from sponsors for videos and all that is BEFORE Alex lets rip about what it’s like to have your content stolen by another creator!

Alex & I are joined by Patrick on this podcast and again, we get down to talking business. We mull over the benefits of changing out thumbnails, and titles on videos, and the art of the ad read. How do you bring in sponsors seamlessly to your videos without alienating viewers? We also discuss should you make videos that please you, or make them to please the algorithm? Video files are massive, particularly the 8K ones that Alex has been shooting, so how do we archive and back-up? Oh, and is Twitter still a useful tool for creators?

Alex and me go through the weeds this time round. We Chat over the current YouTube love affair with Samsung, why Alex has switched and David hasn’t! Then, we go deep in to the business of YouTube.

This time around we cover the continued mis-use of AirTags and the ways in which Apple are fighting back in making them more secure. I mention my day out at Westfield Shopping Centre and how easy it is to buy a Tesla there. Also, I talk about the rumoured new Mac’s for 2022, what I am tempted with, and the possibility that Apple will once again be selling displays under their own branding once again.
