Hi TinTin! I joined your newsletter after Peter Yang recommended it to his readers and have been greatly enjoying it! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and insider pov! :D

I was kind of confused about this "but for information based channels, in 99% of cases you don’t need to be doing your own editing." Not sure if you explained this in a previous post - but why do information based channels not need to do their own editing and could you clarify how you'd classify information based channels? I'm assuming Ali's channel is considered an info based channel?

Hey Kay! Nice to meet you :) glad you're enjoying the newsletter. Yeah so information based I should really have said "educational" and yes Ali's is an educational channel. I basically mean anyone who's primary goal is to educate rather than to entertain. And because of this, most of the time the YouTuber benefits from focusing on the education part of the process, like researching, writing, filming, rather than the editing. But there are some cases where outsourcing is the wrong choice, just depends what you like doing really! Hope that helps :)

Excellent post as usual. I think GIMP is better than Photoshop/Canvas.

1. Free and Open Source Software (FOSS)

2. Can run on old/cheap computers (eg 200MB installation space vs 20GB minimum for Photoshop)

3. More than enough features for beginner Youtubers. (in fact a lot of features of PS can be installed as plug-ins on GIMP).

Also, I would recommend Anytype instead of Notion.
