Old YouTube videos keep getting views for years. The descriptions underneath them usually do not keep up.

Links die. Discount codes expire. A line like "20% off until 31 August" stays there long after the offer ended, and every viewer who clicks it gets an error page or a code that does not work.

So I built an n8n workflow that checks a channel's descriptions every Monday:

It tests the links in your newest 200 videos and flags dead pages.

Plain code compares every discount code and offer date with a Google Sheet of your live offers.

Claude rewrites only the broken lines, using links, codes and dates from that sheet.

A second code check throws the fix out if Claude used anything that is not in the sheet.

Slack shows you the old and new lines. Nothing changes on YouTube until you press Approve.

The most viewed videos come first, because that is where a dead link costs the most.

A warning if you build something like this yourself: n8n's built-in YouTube update step clears a video's tags unless you send them again. This workflow sends only the description change, so the title, tags and privacy settings stay as they are.

If your channel is full of course links, affiliate links or promo codes, send me a message and I will set this up for you.

Title: Why 80% of your new email subscribers never buy or donate

Most brands work so hard on top of funnel traffic. You run ads, post on social media, and get people to sign up for your newsletter.

Then you send them a generic welcome email with a discount code and complete silence for two weeks.

Here is what happens when you do that:

Your subscribers forget who you are within 48 hours

Your open rates drop on every future broadcast

Readers feel like just another metric on your list instead of an insider

A generic confirmation email does not build trust. A strategic 3-part sequence tells your core origin story, sets clear expectations, and guides new subscribers toward their first purchase or donation while their interest is at its peak.

If your welcome flow feels dry or non-existent, I write 3-part custom on boarding sequences that turn cold signups into warm, loyal community members.
