0:00 Hello, my viewers, I am happy that you have come to Ethio AI. Today, we have prepared this video to announce the launch of Notebook Elem Amharic in our program. Notebook Elem is our best research tool. You can do various literature reviews in Amharic. Now, it will complete the Amharic documents you want up to 50 minutes in a day. It will also create a man map for you. Apart from that, it will also create a podcast in Amharic. Notebook Elem means that these updates are new things that are coming. In the last video we made recently, there was no Amharic, but today we will see how to do everything in Amharic on Notebook Elem. If you are new to the channel, please subscribe and start. Also, if you comment, like, and share, it will be very
0:47 encouraging. Good afternoon. In our previous video, we have made two videos about Notebook Elem distribution and what are the basic things. We have shown them there, so we can see the details there, but in our video today, we will see how to do things in Amharic and how to read Amharic and also how to make an Amharic podcast. So, we will see here. So, this is the Notebook Elem interface or what is the UI? The introduction is that after logging into our Gmail account, we will find this. Search for Notebook Elem on Google. If we do it, it will come to us directly. So what are we going to do here? First of all, if we start here, we don't have a tray notebook. As we can see
1:38 here, we can see this thing on the notebook element that we have already created. We have deleted the ones that we do n't need. So this is what it looks like. So what are we going to do first? We will install the thing that says there is no crate notebook here. So what are we going to do here? We are going to give our source in Amharic. So today, since we have Amharic capabilities, we will give it in Amharic. What do I do based on this? I have documents that I saved on my computer, written in Amharic, I will give them first. It says Upload Source. As you can see, I will upload the document here first. As you can see, it is an Amharic document. As you can see, I have uploaded the first document here. What is paste? I will copy paste it. This is an Amharic document. So if you paste it, it means that I have
2:25 given it another Amharic document. Now, I will add another source here. We can continue by saying Add Source. So, it is test copy paste. Since it is text, I will directly enter the text here. You can bring the type of document you want. There are many options. Then, after that, it says Search here, it says Discover here. As you can see, I'm going to click on Discover. Now, we're searching in Amharic. So, I'm going to go online and Google is going to search in other places and bring me the source. I'm asking you to search for digital products in Amharic. As you can see here, I have entered it in Amharic, then I say, "Semit," so it goes on the internet and now it does the same search. Before, there was no notebook. It did not search the internet.
3:15 But now it does search on the internet. So, as you can see, it has brought it here, but none of them are in Amharic. They are all in English. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find materials written in Amharic on such issues on the internet. So they are in English. So I will edit the search again. So, what do I do? Now, digital marketing, there may be many resources on the internet. I think they are written in Amharic. So, as you can see, it has found some. So, it has found one. As we will see, I will only leave one. I will leave the ones I do not want here like this because it is not good for researchers. We need to remove documents that are not related to our topic. So, I have found it here. I will call it import now. I'm going to submit another document again, as you can see, this document was
4:01 not accepted, so another document came in again, now this time it's the Internet, so it came in here on the Internet, and as you can see, it was accepted, so it's good now that my source is growing, I still need to bring more things in, you can submit your document one by one, so I'm going to come here and tell Discover again to go on the Internet and do some research. So now I guess there might be different sources for this one. So now we are doing a search. It means that the search is for things written in Amharic. I want them. I found a source on YouTube, and there are others in English, so I don't want them, so what can I do? I'll just remove them from here. So, as you can see, I have included my
4:46 Amharic sources. I have attached the documents I have here . Apart from that, we have included things we found by searching the internet. Now we can do whatever we want. So, as we're looking at here, we can make audio, we can make mind maps. We can also submit other questions here . There are two videos we have previously made on these issues . It is well explained there. Our focus in today's program is on Amharic language skills. So we will do it now. We'll come straight to the mind map. Let's go to the mind map and see what it looks like. We need to change the language of the resources here. When we look at how to change the language, it says Settings at the top, let's go to Settings and what will we do? There is something called Output Language. When you look at this, the default
5:32 is English. When you click on it, it will come up. So we want our language here. There are many languages, but what we want is Amharic. As you can see, I found Amharic. On our way, let's see if there are other Ethiopian languages, maybe Oromo or Tigrinya. Well, there is only Amharic, and it started recently, two days ago. So, there is only Amharic for the time being. So, I have chosen Amharic here. So, as you can see, now we will generate it again, which I have chosen to Amharic. Let's do the mind map again. Okay, now this generator is generating the Amharic generator. It is generating it. Let's go to Freeze Position or Let's click on the question repeatedly and it will work. We can order many things at once.
6:18 As you can see now, the mind map has been completed and as you can see here, it was here. This is what we clicked on. So I'm opening it here. You see, the mind map is open and the title is "How to Make Money Online. " This document is based on the documents I provided. You can upload up to 50 documents to the free version, meaning sources. If it's a promo, it means we can enter up to 300. So as you can see here, he has made a map for us here, when we look at how to make money online, he has brought this here, when we click on this, he has shown us what we need to do, create and sell digital products, so if we click on it, now he has given this another branch and he has
7:04 made it here, he has listed what digital products are, they are intangible goods that are transmitted electronically, distributed over the Internet, they have the principle that they are created once and sold many times. He has presented it here to you, he has done a very good job. So we have given you five or six resources, these resources, so you can give up to 50 in total, I will give you up to 300, so I will summarize these things in a very understandable way that anyone can understand. It's a simple way to organize it like this. This is the head map. You can do other briefing documents like that. You can do others like that. We'll see them later. Then when we click on it again, it brings us to what are the common digital best practices. For example, e-books, online
7:53 courses, templates, software, and also other printables, artwork, etc. It lists each item. If we open it up, it tells us what e-books are on different topics, and then when we click on it, it puts it here with us. It shows us how to make money. It shows us how to sell on our own website or on Amazon Kindle or on Google Play, for example. As I told you, these things are brought about by resources we don't have. If you put in a lot of resources, you'll get a lot of feedback. So it's based on what you have. If you put in 50, it'll give you 50 out of 50. If you put in five, it'll
8:38 only give you five. So if you put in a lot of good resources, high- quality resources, reliable resources, then that can give you a lot of knowledge. So for our purposes, the number of things we've put in here is quite sufficient, as you can see, we've made it easy to understand. This could be for education, for work, for business, for any kind of thing, it could be for content creation. It's great. If I wanted to talk about marketing or ways to make money online or anything, it would be much better if I just showed you an article. So here, you can collect this here.
9:24 As you can see, for example, if we want to see something else, for example, we had previously clicked on the Frequently Asked Questions section. Let's click on it again. Now, this generator has opened. As you can see, here is what are the frequently asked questions in Amharic. This is a great thing. For example, what are digital products and how do they differ from traditional products? Digital products are intangible goods that are transmitted or downloaded electronically. It goes on to say that the products of traditional entities are distinguished from each other because they do not require inventory, packaging, or transportation. By the way, Amharic is a very smooth Amharic, it is the best Amharic because it is
10:10 powered by the Genai 2.5 Flash engine. So it means "he has excellent skills" in Amharic. We'll see how it works later when we listen to the podcast. So, as you can see here, we can get it like this. So, our languages may be lagging behind in terms of the changes that are happening with technology, but as we see now, we are seeing a lot of improvements. Apart from that, you can do other things like this. What we did now is that if we put this together and again, for example, we can click on Study here, for example, Study here, as you can see, it is generating a study guide, and it is generating it,
10:55 and again, we can order a brief briefing document here, and we can give it a job to do many things at once and we can wait for it. So, here, the generator is generating both of them. We will see when it finishes generating them. Apart from that, we can also work on podcasts here. First, let's delete the first podcast and say Generate here. So, as you can see, this one is finished. Let's open this and see how it worked. It means that it has saved the note here like this. Please find the summary of the requested information below. It says, "Then the title of the article is 'An Overview of Digital Product Marketplaces and Strategies for Making Money Online'." You see how Argo has carefully compiled and organized it, so we have put about six sources here. These sources have been compressed into a
11:42 single place, and we have put them here in a way that is easy for us to understand. So we can use this . Then we'll look at the podcast later when it opens. Here's the briefing document. We can also put it on Time. This is our resource, by the way, it doesn't have anything to do with Time, so it does n't make sense to open it. So it looks like this. Then if you're a pro, you can refile it here. If you want, we can change the conversion style, for example, we can make it long or short like an analyst or a guide. But on the free version, we don't see this feature, so it looks like this. So we'll go ahead and listen to what the audio looks like when the podcast ends. That's what we're looking at. So it's
12:31 finished generating the audio. As you can see here, this is the audio. If you want, you can come here directly and download the file. Or you can change the playback speed here, up to two if you want. This means we can process up to twice as much. What I want to download is, I downloaded it. Here, we download it for the sake of the sound quality. So now we'll go to the podcast and see what kind of talk they're doing. In addition, there's a video in the background that you can see from the podcast. That video is also generated by artificial intelligence. There 's another video about it. I 'll put it in the comments section. You can see how the pictures and the video were made there.
13:16 So, in today's digital age, there's a lot of talk about making money online from home or anywhere, right? Yes, there is a lot of information. And today, we're going to look at the same different sources and discuss it in detail, right? Our best goal is to explore all these avenues, from developing skills to creating a digital product and building an audience. is true. It is necessary to draw practical conclusions . As we listened to it, their introduction doesn't say anything. They speak very good Amharic. This is the first time we have listened to such audios on this subject in Amharic, especially in an official way, in a very formal way, in such an organized way. So it's very
14:03 cool. Their introduction, when they go deeper into it, they explain in detail how we can make money online. The first way, I think, is probably the most direct way to earn money using our skills. Freelancing is right. It's very common. What do the sources say about the skills that are most in demand? The sources are well-listed. For example, writing articles, editing copywriting, and graphic design are very popular. What about social media management and virtual assistants? They also grew. Social media management, virtual assistant translation jobs, video editing, the list is long.
14:52 Okay, and there is also the provision of consulting services in various fields . That is a skill checker. What are the main platforms for marketing these skills? Yes, the main ones are widely used on international platforms such as Upwork and Fiverr. Ahark Infar: Yes, for those who want to make direct connections, there is LinkedIn, which is a good option. But the data says something about these platforms being competitive. No matter how competitive, the sources say that competition can be high, especially in places like poker. That's true, so building a strong portfolio is crucial to standing out, and building a good reputation
15:38 means repetition, which is exactly what matters. Customer feedback plays a big role in reviews. Okay, also, when you register on such platforms, you are asked to verify your identity. Email verification Yes, there is a minimum annual payout ratio set for withdrawals. It's also good to know these practical details. I understand. Moving from selling skills to creating products. Well, the data suggests that the principle of "create once, sell many times" is particularly viable for digital products. Very true, this is a great point. How is it different from freelancing? The main difference is that freelancing is mostly about exchanging time for money.
16:26 You are wasting your time or your project. That's right. Digital products, however, can initially require a high level of effort to create the product. Yes, but once it is created to work, it often becomes an asset that can generate income with a little extra work. Yes, it is seen as an asset. The sources are exactly the same, such as e-books, online courses, templates, software, photos or music. Stock, yes, stock photos, stock music, and prints. They are widely mentioned. Is it better to sell these things, opening our own website, or both options have advantages and disadvantages. Well, platforms like H Simrod or Coursera
17:15 help you find ready customers easily. Yes, they have their own users. That's right, they also complete the payment process. Does that mean I have more control over my own website if I build it with Shopify or WordPress, for example? You can actually get more control and possibly higher profit margins, but you'll need to generate your own traffic. You should introduce yourself. I understand, you can also smell physical products online, right? E-commerce is possible. For example, drop shipping means that the supplier ships the product directly to the customer when an order is placed without actually purchasing the item. Or printing designs on print-on-demand T-shirts and selling them. Okay, my information here says that inventory reduces the risk, but the profit margin
18:06 may be lower than traditional business. Okay, another big area is earning money by creating content. As a podcast, yes, this is a very big sector. But it 's a long-term plan. It means it requires patience. The most important thing is to build an audience of loyal and passionate followers. So, as we've heard, our viewers are having a very interesting conversation. It 's about how we can make money online. It's a very broad topic, it's a very good topic, they're using the 5 or 6 resources we gave them in advance to organize this. They speak very good Amharic. From what I've heard, it's getting better and better. As I
18:52 mentioned earlier, it's powered by Gemini 2.5 Flash, so there's no notebook. So, their entire conversation lasts about nine minutes. So, we've listened to some of it. If you want to listen to the whole thing, we'll put it on our Telegram page. You can go to our Telegram page and follow it. If you're new to the channel, don't forget to subscribe. So, this is what we've prepared for today. Have a good time.
