I asked Claude code to be brutally honest about how to make more money online and you actually might have seen a bunch of those kind of videos already and the results well they looked incredible but here's what they're not telling you and honestly this could also be the reason why most of you are trying the exact same [music] thing by yourself and you're getting back completely useless advice. Because Claude is actually the world's most convincing yes man [music] and I mean that literally. So if you open Claude right now and say hey is this a good business idea it will build a perfectly structured [music] case for why it absolutely is but if you took that exact same idea and asked it why is this a bad idea it would give you an equally perfectly structured case for why it also is terrible.
[music] So same idea completely opposite answers and both delivered with total confidence. [music] So when those videos tell you to just ask Claude to help you make money online what they're skipping [music] is this whatever you bring to Claude Claude will validate which means you're not really getting a strategy you're getting a mirror [music] and unfortunately sticking you down a rabbit hole and completely wasting your time [music] until now because somebody built something that actually fixes this issue and once I started playing with it I could not stop using it. It's called Claude counsel [music] and by the end of this video I'm going to explain exactly what it is show you how it works and give you access to the actual file so you can start using it yourself today.
And finally get solid answers [music] every time you ask Claude to be brutally honest with you. So let's get into it. So let me give you a real example of why this matters.
So say you've been working on a digital product idea for like 3 weeks and you're about to launch it. So you're super excited [music] and you open Claude and you say hey I've built an email content planner [music] as an interactive mini web app and I'm about to launch it for $47. Is this a good [music] idea?
And Claude is simply going to say yes. It's going to tell you that the market is strong for this that the price point is very competitive that interactive tools are outperforming static [music] templates and that your timing is solid and then you're going to feel great and you're going to launch but what Claude forgot to tell you because you didn't [music] ask it is that perhaps your positioning could be off perhaps [music] your target audience is too broad or that already selling it for $47 is a bit ambitious if you don't already have an audience >> [music] >> or an email list. So it's not that Claude is lying to you it's just simply agreeing with you because that's what it's [music] optimized to do.
It's helpful. It's collaborative. It wants to support your thinking and [music] when you're making real decisions about business you actually don't need a supportive friend you need the truth.
You need somebody who's going to hunt for the flaws before you find them the hard way. Well this is exactly what Claude console fixes. So Claude console was built by a guy named Ollie Lehman and it's one of the coolest Claude skills that I have come across.
So here's how it works. Instead of asking Claude a question and getting one answer back you ask the console by adding to your shot console this and then you add your description >> [music] >> run the console on then you add your question or pressure test this idea and then it's going to spin up five completely separate AI advisors. Each one is going to attack your question from a totally different angle.
So advisor one is a contrarian and [music] the contrarian is going to hunt for fatal flaws first. So it's only job is to find what is wrong not balanced not constructive just what is broken about your idea and why it fell. Advisor two is the [music] first principles advisors.
So this one ignores your actual question instead [music] it actually asks what you're actually trying to solve here because a lot of the time the question you ask is not the real question. So this advisor is going to drag that out of you and it's going to drag it out into the open whatever is missing. Then advisor three is the expansionist.
[music] So the expansionist is going to hunt for the upside that you're missing not the obvious upside the upside that you might not have thought of. So the opportunity the thing you're sitting on top of [music] without realizing and then you have advisor four. So this is the outsider.
So this one gets given [music] zero context about you so no background no history no framing and because of [music] that it catches the obvious stuff that's right under your nose. The thing that everyone else can see but [music] you because you're too close to it. Then you have advisor five which is the executor.
[music] The executor does not care about strategy or analysis or nuances. [music] It only cares about one thing what happens next like specifically today not the 90-day plan the [music] next action. So these are five completely different lenses five different answers to [music] your same questions but it does not stop here because here's where it gets actually interesting.
Once those five advisors have given their answers the consoles shuffle them [music] and passes them to five separate peer reviewers agents. So each peer reviewer reads all the five advisors answers without knowing which advisor said what and they're simply evaluating the quality and validity of the thinking not who said it but how valid is it [music] and then all of that gets fed into one final agent which is the console verdict. So it reads everything every advisor's response every peer review and then it synthesizes it into two things one verdict and one clear next step.
So not five options not a balanced pros and cons list that you have to interpret yourself like one answer [music] one action and that is the output. The reason it actually produces something more reliable than a regular Claude response [music] is because no single advisor can dominate the answer. So the contrarian cannot tank a generally good idea just because it found one flaw.
The expansionist [music] cannot get you hyped on an upside and ignore the real risks. The console verdict [music] has to account for all of it. So it's the closest thing to a real advisor board that you can spin up in under 2 minutes.
[music] So let me show you how I actually use this because the examples here matter more than the explanation. So example one validating let's say a product idea. So [music] I asked the council I want to earn $1,000 in the next 30 days I don't have a social media following what do you recommend I start with?
And then I tell [music] it I was thinking to sell digital products and starting a thread account. What do you recommend I do? So regular Claude would say yeah this is a great idea and then give me five bullet points about why but the console came back with something much more different.
So the contrarian immediately flagged it [music] and then it asked me additional questions. So for instance it told me that trying to sell a digital product in 30 days without a social media following that was a very tight window [music] because I had no existing audience or social proof and I was essentially starting from zero. [music] And so what it said is that what is at stake is essentially time management learning curve and execution and then there's like the revenue timing right needing $1,000 within 30 days.
And so as a result I need to pick the right path faster and validate faster. [music] Then the console convened and the contrarian told me and it told me that both of my options are wrong for a 30-day deadline because [music] selling a digital product with no audience is a classic trap because you can spend weeks building [music] a product that nobody wants then another week trying to find buyers. And then by day 30 you might just have made only $200 in sales and then feeling like [music] you wasted a lot of time.
So the problem that it highlighted for us is that digital products need distribution [music] and without an audience it's really hard to get traction because you're essentially invisible. [music] So then the first principle advisor asked what problem do you solve and who's already looking for that solution because I didn't even >> [music] >> answer any of these questions. And then it told me while you're thinking about the social media channel without really knowing what you're actually selling or who actually needs it.
Then the expansionist pointed out that I should use a hybrid approach. >> [music] >> So starting with threads from day one and start growing my social media presence which actually that's correct. This way I can start selling to warmer leads and build my products while I'm building my audience in parallel.
Then the outsider noted that it didn't know what I did it didn't know what my expertise was but here's what it noticed that if I want to earn $1,000 in 30 days and I'm thinking of building a thread accounts and digital products those are business infrastructure that [music] take time. And then the executor said okay so we got 30 days $1,000 let's be more concrete as to what you're going to be doing. So then it told me okay day one and three we're going to decide on what we're selling so it's not going to be a course it's not going to be anything complicated it's going to be one simple product >> [music] >> going to be perhaps a mini web app a framework a checklist a template a guide like something that we can build in a weekend and we're going to simply pick one thing.
[music] And guys that's quite accurate right? So first we have to build in parallel leveraging threads and start building our audience from day one and then we have to find a active problem that people have and build a product to solve that problem. So the chairman's verdict said that the first thing we need to do is spend [music] two hours every day engaging with other accounts on threads and building our threads social media.
We can also reach out to friends, former colleagues, online communities that maybe we're in. Maybe we have an email list. [music] Maybe we have access to Discord servers, Twitter followers, Reddit groups, LinkedIn connection, and try to get 50 to 100 names of folks who could use the solution that you're going to provide.
And then you're going to simply write to them a simple sentence saying, [music] "Hey, I'm currently working on solving this problem. Are you interested in learning more about it? " And so what it's saying is that that simple sentence and actually reaching out to a warm list, it's going to be easier for you to make that first $1,000 in 30 days.
And then it allows you more wiggle room to refine your product, validate the idea, and continue growing your threat social media presence. So all of that's going to happen in parallel. But the warm list, the people that you actually know, that's going to be your baseline.
>> [music] >> And then it said something very valid. Like if you don't have 50 people that you can name, then obviously the deadline to get to $1,000 is going to get longer. Notice how this is a completely different answer than [music] what you get from a standard Claude prompt.
And every piece of this is actionable. Now, example two. Let's say we were making a pricing decision.
I asked, [music] "So I currently sell my mini web app at $27. Someone suggested I raise it to $97. Should I do it?
" So the contrarian said, "Raising price >> [music] >> without changing the offer is a bit of a gamble because if your conversion drops and you have low traffic, you lose revenue before you can course correct. " Which actually that's 100% accurate. Then the first principle advisor asked, "What is the actual cost of the problem that you're solving?
" So if the buyer for instance [music] is spending 3 hours every month on a manual process and your tool is going to save them that time, then $97 is cheap. But you also [music] need to communicate the value. Then the expansionist said, "The more interesting move is not raising the price, but maybe adding a second tier.
So [music] keep it $27 for the tool and then create a $97 bundle with a done-for-you setup and templates. Now, you don't just have one conversion point, but you have two. And actually that's really solid advice because if something's actually already selling for $27, it's probably a better move to just add [music] other products in the back end versus raising the price.
And then the outsider said, "Your current sales page probably reads like a feature [music] list rather than a time-saving calculator. Most buyers need to see the math before they accept a higher price. " [music] And then the executive said, "To simply add one more testimonial with a specific result and test [music] a $47 price.
Do not go straight to 97 without data. " So this was the verdict. Do not jump to $97.
You can go to 47, update the positioning to lead with how much time your customer has saved and add a result-focused testimonial. And then revisit it in 30 days. >> [music] >> So guys, again, this is a real answer with real reasoning that you can actually act on today.
Now, example three. And this is one [music] that I use the most. So before I launch anything, any post, any product, any offer, I ask the council this one question.
What is the most likely reason that this actually fails? [music] Not what could go wrong, the most likely reason. What is the one thing that could kill this in the next 30 days?
And the contrarian combined with the outsider consistently surface things that I have completely missed because I'm too close to what I built. So that question alone can save you from wasting so much time on launching things that no one will ever want to buy from you. So you might want to launch something that looks right on paper, but has a positioning problem you might not have really seen on your own.
Now, here's how you actually get this. The Claude console is [music] a Claude skill, which means it's a pre-built configuration that you load into Claude Cowork and then you use it on demand. You do not need to be developer and you do not need to understand how it was built.
[music] You just need the file. So I'm going to be sharing the file with you guys in the description below. And here's exactly what you do once you have it.
>> [music] >> So step one, you're going to open Claude. And by the way, like I highly recommend Pro if you're really serious about using AI in your business. [music] It's going to make a huge difference.
Step two, you're going to create a brand new project in Claude. So projects is what lets you save custom instruction [music] and files that persist across conversations. So this is where the console's going to live.
Step three, you're going to open the file that I share and you're simply going to upload it into the project. So you're going to upload the full system prompt and you're going to paste it into [music] the project instructions and save it. Step four, you're going to start a new chat [music] inside that project and ask all your business questions.
And at the end of your question, you're going to add ask [music] the council. So this is it. And that's it.
The five advisors are going to spin up automatically. They're going to go through your question. The peer review is going to run >> [music] >> and then their Sherman is going to synthesize an answer for you.
So you're going to get a verdict and the whole process is going to take anywhere between 60 to 90 seconds [music] depending on the complexity of your question. Now, one thing worth noting, the more context you give it up front, the better the output is going to be. Do not just say like, "Is my product a good idea?
" right? Say, "Here's a product. Here's who it is for.
Here's the price. Here's how I plan to market it. Here's my biggest concern.
" So the more honest and specific [music] you are, the more useful the verdict. So here are the questions that I recommend you run through the console, especially [music] if you're building a digital product or mini web app business right now. So you could ask it, "Is my idea worth building or is there a faster version of this that I should build first?
" [music] And obviously you're going to describe your idea. "Is my pricing right from where I am in the market right now? Is my sales page clear enough for someone who has never heard of me?
" And then obviously [music] copy and paste or add your page. "What is the most likely reason my first launch could fail? Should I expand my product line or go deeper on what I already have?
Am I solving the right problems or the most obvious problem? " And then you're going to also ask it, "Run [music] every major decision through the council before you commit to it. " Now, my recommendation is that you run every major decision through the council before you actually commit to it.
Not because Claude always gets it right, but because you're going to get five different angles on your questions [music] and it's always going to help you surface something that you might have not seen. Now, I want to say one thing clearly before I wrap this up. The council is not magic, right?
[music] It does not replace experience and it does not replace knowing your market. [music] And it also does not replace the judgment that comes from actually shipping things and learning from what happens. What it does do is that it removes the echo chamber because the biggest problem with using AI for business decisions is not that AI is stupid, is that AI reflects your framing back at you.
So essentially you ask a question the way someone who already believes the answers would ask it and then [music] you simply get confirmation. But the council helps you break that loop because [music] it forces the question through five different frames before it gives you an answer. And that process, that friction, is where the value is.
So go get the file, use it on your next real decision, and tell me in the comments what the chairman said. Now, if you want to be in a place where you actually [music] are building alongside other people who are using tool like this to launch their real digital products, this is what my community, the AI Profit Lab, is for. So real tutorials, real feedback, [music] real people who are in the same stage of building as you are.
So when you hit a wall, you're not guessing alone. Link is in the description. [music] Let me know if you have any questions and I'll see you guys next time.
Bye, guys.
