Then find a platform where you can easily monetize or get paid for these skills.

Examples:

If you're really good at making videos --> Start a YouTube

If you know how to use Photoshop or do design work --> Join Upwork or Freelancer

If you can teach different skills --> Become a tutor or coach

"What's the best side hustle online?"

There's no best side hustle for everyone. The best side hustle is the one that actually pays you for your efforts.

Ignore all the snake oil salesmen in the comments.

Focus on your skills and what you can offer.

Launch a digital product once. Sell forever.

I am still selling some digital products that I launched over 12 years ago online.

I want to connect with more SEOs and link builders.

Where should I go to do that?

That's about it. Overall this campaign was insane, but these are just some tiny tips to get even more value out of it on the long tail/video search side.

#4 - Enable the community/posts feature on the Ramp channel. This allows you to share exclusive BTS content with your audience. YouTube pushes this in the feed

I think it's a great place for photos and other funny stills from the stream. Example in the 2nd pic of how we use this

#3 - Shorts. Ramp is already started here, but I feel like I saw 100s of amazing clips all over Twitter. I would post every variation possible here, including funny edits, memes, etc.

Capture all the value possible on the main Ramp Channel and clipping channels.

Mike Moloney @moloneymike.bsky.social · 9d

#2 - Long form videos. This is the biggest area I think Ramp can benefit. Cuts of the livestream, all the best parts, properly titled & tagged.

Lot's of people are searching for clips + funny moments from the livestream. Posting these on YT long form makes them easier to find.

Mike Moloney @moloneymike.bsky.social · 9d

#1 - The main livestream. Over time this is sure to get traffic & attention as it is the full source of the content.

Optimize the description with a quick sentence description about ramp, a call to action, and a link.

Then paste a full description below. (5000 character limit)

The Ramp campaign with Brian from The Office was incredible, but I think they're missing out on additional crucial traffic/conversions by not optimizing the YouTube!

Here's how I would take it a step further to capture more of that value from the campaign:
