Track standout YouTube videos and newsletter sponsors
A researcher used Manus to find YouTube videos beating channel size and to collect recent AI newsletter advertisers with contact details.
- What they did
- They split the work into two Manus searches and ran them together. One search looked for AI-tool videos from the past month with view counts that seemed high for the channel size. The other gathered 20 companies advertising in AI and no-code newsletters over the same period, including ad copy and contact details. They checked a sample by hand, then put the advertiser search on a daily schedule at 11 AM and the YouTube search on a weekly schedule.
- How it went
- Manus produced a trends overview and a spreadsheet of advertisers. The checks matched sponsors such as 11 Labs and IBM, but some contact fields were blank and a few newsletters were labeled incorrectly.
- Tips
- Verify any entries before using them. Good results depend on a precise search request, especially when you want scheduled repeats.
