10 YouTube cheat codes
Whiteboard visuals: the Miro board generator
A Claude Code skill that builds the whole Miro board you walk through on camera, in your own brand colours and fonts. Point it at one to three board walkthroughs you like and it copies their structure, never their content. You approve a frame by frame run sheet, then it builds every frame through the official Miro MCP and checks each one back.
- ▸Every claim and number comes from you; a gap becomes a question or a dashed box you fill live on camera
- ▸Your screenshots land beside the claims they prove
- ▸Works on every Miro plan, including free
git clone https://github.com/orgrowth/orgrowth-miro-board-generator ~/.claude/skills/orgrowth-miro-board-generatorInstall the Miro MCP first with claude plugin install miro@claude-plugins-official, restart Claude Code and sign in to Miro under /mcp. Then say "build a Miro board for my video".
Finding YouTube ideas
Use vidIQ's Outliers to find the videos in your niche that did far better than their channel normally does. Those are proven ideas. Then use its keyword research to find the high-demand search terms your customers are actually typing in.

Title and thumbnail ideas
1of10 shows you hundreds of titles and thumbnails from the best-performing videos in your niche, so you start from what is already working instead of a blank page.

Best AI model for thumbnails
GPT Image 2 is the one I use. I run it through OpenRouter, not Higgsfield, so I pay per image with no subscription fee.

A/B testing
You get three shots per video. Use two of them to double down on what performed best on your previous videos, and use the third to experiment. Test & Compare works on titles as well as thumbnails.

Storing scripts and ideas
Notion is undeniably the best option here. Keep one database from idea through to what you posted, and link every script back to the reference it came from.

Researching what competitors say
yt-dlp is free and pulls the full transcript from any video in seconds. Paste the command below into your terminal with any YouTube link, or ask Claude Code to run it for you.
yt-dlp --write-auto-subs --sub-langs "en.*" --skip-download "VIDEO_URL"Video tags
I export my tags from vidIQ. YouTube gives you 500 characters of tags per video; make sure you are using all of them.
Getting views to a new video
Trial reels are the best option for this. A few timelapse trial reels sent 500 people to my most viral YouTube video in its first three days.

OrgrowthViews don't pay you; leads and sales do. Orgrowth tracks your conversions and revenue per 1,000 views on every single video, so you make more of the videos that bring in money, not just the ones that get watched.
