Give a Skydive agent an ongoing responsibility and they’ll handle it on schedule, every time.

Have them prep your morning report, research new leads, monitor customer feedback, or keep projects moving overnight. You wake up, the work is already done.

Make your first agent

What if I told you you could get paid to take calls?

I’ve partnered with software companies that pay qualified business owners, affiliates and creators to spend 30 minutes learning about their products. If you’re a digital creator running a business, there’s a good chance you’ll qualify for several of these opportunities.

Set aside a few hours, book the calls that interest you, and earn extra cash simply for showing up. I call it Uber Black money. All you have to do is take the call.

If you’re already taking calls with companies and evaluating new tools, this is a great way to get rewarded for it.

YouTube wants creators to have a clearer picture of their reach. But its new way of counting public views may be measuring exposure rather than meaningful attention.

Last month, YouTube began counting a public view as soon as the first frame of a long-form video loads. Creators still see a separate Engaged Views metric in their analytics, which uses the platform’s previous measurement system.

The difference is significant. Agentio analyzed more than 75,000 videos and found that only six out of every ten public views became engaged views. Together, the videos generated 549 million public views but just 330 million engaged views.

The gap was even larger for smaller creators. Public views overstated engagement by 85% for channels with fewer than 50,000 subscribers, compared with 49% for channels with more than 300,000 subscribers.

Much of the inflation appears to come from YouTube’s feeds. Homepage previews, autoplay, and recommended videos produced 38% of public views, but only 20% of those viewers became engaged. By comparison, 85% of people who intentionally clicked a video stayed long enough to count as engaged.

For brands, this changes the math. Agentio estimates that a $30 CPM based on public views could become an effective $50 CPM when measured against engaged views.

Meta new AI agent, Muse, can connect to email, calendars, payment services, shopping platforms, health apps, and smart home devices.

Once connected, it can complete tasks in the background, including sending emails, booking travel, making payments, and selling items on a user’s behalf.

Muse is launching in the U.S. through a dedicated app and WhatsApp, with support for Meta’s smart glasses planned for later. A basic version will be free, while heavier users can choose between $20 and $100 monthly subscriptions.

Meta says users choose which apps Muse can access and can revoke those permissions at any time. Users can also opt out of having their interactions used to train Meta’s AI models, and an encrypted version is expected later this year.
