Case Study
How TFTC turned old videos into $30,000 new revenue in 1 month with OpusClip
January 17, 2025
The problem
Finding revenue streams and scaling beyond YouTube seemed insurmountable
TFTC, a prominent voice in finance, economics, and Bitcoin news with 58K YouTube subscribers and 53K Twitter followers, faced a crucial monetization challenge. Despite producing 8-10 high-quality podcast episodes monthly and maintaining successful revenue streams through YouTube AdSense and newsletter sponsorships, they hit a growth ceiling:
- Their YouTube inventory was fully saturated with existing advertisers
- Expanding to new platforms required building substantial audiences from scratch
- Struggle to use old content for trends without making new videos
- Manual content repurposing was too time-intensive to maintain consistent cross-platform presence
"We needed to find new ad inventory beyond YouTube, but building critical mass on other platforms seemed like an insurmountable challenge," explains TFTC.
The Solution
Repurpose archive video to a revenue generator on X
In November 2024, TFTC implemented OpusSearch to transform their content strategy. The platform enabled them to:
- Quickly build X (Twitter) as their new monetization platform
- Rapidly search their entire content archive for relevant clips that aligned with trending topics on X
- Automatically generate platform-optimized video clips
- Scale their content production from 2 clips to 3-5 clips per day
OpusSearch didn't just help TFTC make more money, it changed how they think about their content. Their archive went from a static asset to a dynamic revenue generator. Now, when topics trend, they're not just part of the conversation – they're monetizing it.
The Result
$30,000 new sponsorship deals in 1 month
The impact of OpusSearch was both immediate and exceeded expectations. Within just 20 days of implementation, TFTC transformed their content strategy and unlocked multiple new revenue streams on X (Twitter).

Beyond the numbers
- Faster response to trends: Increased speed to publish by reducing clip searching and creation time from hours to just minutes
- Diversified revenue: Reduced dependency on YouTube AdSense
- Scalable growth: Built foundation for continuous expansion to new platforms with archive videos
"OpusSearch makes all our content valuable forever. It’s the most valuable tool I have seen since starting podcast 7 years ago."
With these systems in place, TFTC is positioned for continued growth. They're exploring expansion to additional platforms and planning to scale their sponsored content programs even further. The success with Twitter/X has created a repeatable model they can apply across their entire digital presence.
