So Notebook LM and Gemini have recently had a massive update and in today's video what I want

to do is show you exactly how it works specifically when it comes to those of you that are thinking

about building, launching and getting traffic to a digital product. I'm going to break down

everything step by step so hopefully by the end of this video you're going to know exactly how you

can use all of these different free AI tools to your own advantage. So first things first what

we're going to do is just start off on Notebook LM and to find it you just need to go over to

NotebookLM.Google. By now most of you should already know exactly how it works but the way in which I

use it especially when it comes to digital products is to program Notebook LM so that it can help me

build out a digital product from start to finish when it comes to the actual product, when it comes

to listing it on a store, when it comes to even getting traffic and with all of these latest updates

the whole process is a lot more simplistic so I'm going to show you exactly how it works right now.

So if you want to follow along with what I'm doing all you need to do is go over to this URL and then

click on try Notebook LM. From there it's going to take you over to this interface and as long as you've

got a Gmail email address you're going to be able to log in no problems. So right here as you can see

you can upload a file. I'm going to be using this later on. You can give it a URL link or a YouTube link.

You can give it a Google Drive link or what you can do is give it plain text. And with this particular

use case today when it comes to programming Notebook LM to walk you through everything you need to do to

build a digital product we're going to be using this option right here. And when it comes to getting

the text or prompt to paste into Notebook LM what we're going to be doing is using this. Now I've shown

this on my channel previously so I'm not going to spend too much time on it. Essentially what this is

going to do is take you through a couple different multiple choice questions and it's going to build a

custom prompt that you can now paste into your Notebook LM if you're following along. So you're

going to be able to find this link down below for completely free. So I'm just going to go through

this super quick just so that you know exactly which digital product I'm trying to build today.

So for question one I'm just going to say that I want to build an ebook and audio book bundle. In terms

of the niche that I'm going to go with today I'm going to go with this one over here self-improvement

and personal development. So of course it's not my ideal choice but I'm just using this one as an

example. Of course you're going to select whichever one resonates with you and then click on next.

And then finally when it comes to how do I plan to promote this digital product my recommendation is

to eventually get to the point where you're using all of these but initially you just want to focus on

one but for the purpose of today's video I'm just going to go with SEO blog articles. Okay great so

with this custom prompt what you're going to do is just copy all of it just like that and then we're

going to head back over to Notebook LM. We're just going to paste it in there like this and then click

on insert. Okay perfect so this is what you should see next. Now if you don't see this and you see the

plain text or the summary text that Notebook LM normally comes back with just enter next into this chat box

over here and then you should see a summary of everything that you selected in the quiz. But

now that we programmed Notebook LM to know exactly what we're trying to build all you need to do is

click on next and it's going to take you through a series of different questions. One of the next

questions is going to be for you to select a title for the digital product that you're making. Of course

you can come up with it yourself but if you can't and you're struggling to you can use Notebook LM. So the

one that I'm going to go with today is going to be number three which is the productivity

protocol. I'm just going to copy it like that paste it in there like this because it's asking

me to confirm which title I'm moving forward with and then I'm going to click or type in next and it's

going to be on this next stage where it's now going to tell me the first practical step I need

to take to turn in this digital product into a reality. So for me to build out the ebook as you

guys already know the app or the AI tool that I recommend is Gamma. It's free to use and for me to

build out the audio book I'm going to use Eleven Labs. So I could just click directly into the links

just like this and I'm going to speed up this entire section but when it comes to making an ebook

you're just going to click on document make sure that you're on A4 and then paste the prompt from

Notebook LM in there just like this and then click on generate outline. Once you've selected your

color scheme you've selected the vibe of what you want you've given it all the details it's going to

come back with a fully written ebook. So I'm showing you all of this as an example guys you

do need to make sure that you read through it make sure that you're completely happy with it and once

you have read through everything and you believe it's good enough to put out there on the internet

for people to check out you could click into these three dots in the top right hand corner come over

here to export and you're going to be able to export it to PDF and when it comes to now making an

audiobook to do that using AI you can use a tool called Eleven Labs so you can sign up again for

free there may be some limits so just be aware of that but once you've logged into your account this

is the page that you're going to see now when it comes to making an audiobook you could just select

this one and drag and drop the PDF document directly from Gamma but now that I've got the

digital products that I'm going to list for people to check out the next thing that I need to do is

create the product mock-ups it's going to be the images that's going to go on to the actual product

pages and with notebook.lm as you can see it's now come back with the prompts for me to do that

as well as the prompt for me to build out the actual website and as you guys already know I

recommend Holstinger's AI website builder and there's going to be a direct link to it right here

for me to build my website so if I just click into it because I'm already logged into my account it's

taken me directly to this page so all I need to do is just enter the name of the website that I'm

working with right now so I'm just going to enter it in there like that and enter the prompt directly

from notebook.lm make sure that this option is selected and then click on create a website and

there we go guys the website has been built in less than I don't know 30 seconds or so everything you

can see on the screen right now I didn't need to do I didn't need to code anything I didn't need to

design anything I've got a website ready for me to start listing these different digital products

and the good thing about Holstinger's AI website builder generally speaking is that you could make

any changes that you need to things are not fixed if I want to move this around if I want to delete

this image if I want to bring it back I can do that if I want to move an image around I'm going to be

able to do that if I want to add any elements I'm going to be able to do that on the left hand side

I'm going to come back to Holstinger in a moment the first thing that we need to do

is finalize everything that goes into being able to list the product and for this we're going to go

over to nano banana but we're not going to use the regular nano banana in the Gemini interface

instead what we're going to do is use this new one that I've been trying out which can be found

at labs.google which is called flow and the reason why we're using this one is because this is one of

the latest AI tools from google when it comes to being able to make high quality images I'm sure that

you probably noticed on the regular nano banana it comes back with a blurry image you know it's

not really high quality high resolution but with this one you're going to be able to solve that

problem so you're going to be able to log in using your gmail email address and then from there this

is the page that you're going to see so all you need to do is enter a prompt into this box of course

you're going to select create an image and you can get the prompt directly from notebook lm you're

going to find something similar to use in this section so I'm going to paste it in there just

like this I might make some slight changes to it but once you've done that you're just going to click

on send and there we go guys these are the different images that I was able to come back with

so from this point as I said you're going to be able to download any of them using high quality if I

click on download as you can see I've got the option to download it using 1k 2k and if I want to get 4k I'm

going to have to upgrade but for now I'm just going to download it using 2k and for me to now

list the ebook and the audio book bundle on this website that I just built I can come over here to

store click on products Holstinger is going to automatically upload a placeholder product so

you're going to need to delete it so I'm just going to click on the product just like that and then

delete it and then literally for you to add the digital product that you just made you can click on add

product come over here to digital product and I would recommend using the image that you just got

back from flow because it's going to automatically populate the information that's going to go into

the title subtitle and description okay so far so good it's looking all right everything is there

in terms of the information it's going to be in this section where you can now update the price

and this is where notebook lm is also going to be able to help you because what you can do

is get its opinion on what price you should use so if I just come over here and type in next it's

giving me a breakdown on if I was just going to focus on the ebook if I was going to focus on the

ebook and audio book or if I wanted to add a completely different digital product to the bundle

so I can see all of the different price options right here so you can go with this you can choose

your own it's completely down to you but for now I'm just going to use this one it's going to be in

this section where you're going to add the digital product files whether it's the pdf the mp3 from

11 labs however you plan to do it even if you're looking to make an audio book using your own voice

whatever type of digital product you're going to drag the files in here and it's going to be

at this point or when the customer places an order that's when they're going to receive the

files directly to their email so yeah notebook lm is definitely helpful when it comes to this entire

process but the features of it don't just end there this brings me on to some of the latest

features of notebook lm which can actually help you when it comes to getting traffic which is the audio

overview feature now with this one what you're basically able to do is use ai to create a realistic

sounding podcast so if I just click into this pencil icon what google has done is that they've basically

made a podcast generator and with this podcast you're going to be able to download it and upload

it to your website as a way for you to get potential listeners and of course those listeners can now see

the different digital products that you've got available but before I even make the podcast I'm

just going to add the ebook that we was able to get from gamma because of course the source reference

is the prompt that we gave it but now that we've actually got the ebook I wanted to have all the

information from the ebook so that it's able to make the best podcast possible literally all you

need to do is just click on add sources and then drag and drop the pdf document in this section okay

so that's now been added so from here what I can now do is click on audio overviews click on the pencil

icon I'm going to say that I want a long podcast and I'm going to say that I want it to be a deep dive

into this topic so this is a random topic a podcast discussing productivity and the mindset of course

you want to be a lot more descriptive than that but for now I'm just going to use this and then

I'm going to click on generate okay guys I talk about five minutes for it to complete but as you

can see it's now come back with a 34 minute podcast and as always I'm just going to play

a short snippet of it just so that you guys know exactly how it sounds so that you know what type of

podcast you're going to be able to go away and make yourself for completely free so I'm just going to click

on play welcome back to the deep dive our mission here is always to take these huge stacks of

research or frameworks and really distill them into something genuinely useful for you something you can

actually use exactly and today we are really diving deep into a topic that I think defines the line

between just feeling busy all the time and actually achieving things that matter we're talking

about the science of productivity it's that silent tax isn't it on modern life that feeling that

you're constantly fighting your own workflow just to tread water well I want to kick things off with

a statistic that honestly it should shock you so yeah guys I'm sure that you're blown away by that

sounds super realistic seems as though two people are really having a conversation with one another

so this can definitely be used when it comes to getting potential people on to your site and let me

show you exactly how right so notebook lm has also come back with this list of different blog articles

that I can choose from so I'm going to go with number three over here while your current productivity

system is failing I'm just going to copy that I'm going to go back over to my site I'm going to click

on editor I'm going to click on pages I'm going to come over here to add page then blog page just like

that click on save and what I can now do is use hostinger's blog writer so I could just click on

blog I can delete all of these different placeholders but I'm just going to leave them for now

if I click on ai tools and come over here to ai blog generator it's going to be here where I can

now paste the title from notebook lm I can also select the word count so I'm just going to go with

800 to 1000 and then click on create content and now that I've got the entire blog that's been

produced what I'm going to be able to do is add a section at the bottom that's going to include the

podcast and to do this it's not difficult I could just click on elements come over here to

embedded code and then I'm going to drag the code just like that and to add the podcast it's not

difficult at all what I need to do is click on add section I'm going to come over here to generate

section and I'm just going to say this is going to be a podcast overview of the blog article which

will be a deep dive into the topic of productivity let me click on create section and once you've

downloaded the podcast from notebook lm you're going to be able to come over here to more click on

media library and then drag the file in there just like that and then from there what you now need

to do is click on the three dots come over here to the file path and then simply go over to Gemini

enter this prompt with the URL that Holstinger gave you for the audio file you can pause the screen take

a look and then click on submit and then simply copy the code that it comes back with go back over to

Holstinger and in this section underneath the blog article what you're going to be able to do

is click on elements embedded code and you're now going to paste the code that you got back

from Gemini in there just like this and there we go guys just like that the podcast has now

been added I shortened it down because I didn't want this video to be too long so that's the only

reason why you're seeing 15 minutes and not 30 something minutes like what we saw in notebook lm but

what I'm going to do is just play it right now so that you guys can just see that it works as it

should so let me just click on play welcome back to the deep dive our mission here is always to take

these huge stacks of research of frameworks and really distill them into something genuinely useful

for you something you can actually use exactly and today we are really diving deep into a topic that

so yeah there you have it that's basically how you can use google's notebook lm in combination with

google gemini to help you get a fully functional operational digital product store up and running

in less than 15 20 minutes now of course there's going to be steps in between that you need to be

aware of but I just wanted to keep this video super simple I'm going to leave all the information
