A-Z process on how to start and grow an AI youtube channel 🧵 before AI, youtube automation used to cost way more

if you started back then your spending budget per video would've looked like this:

script writer ($30-70) voice actor ($20-60) video editor ($30-100+) thumbnail designer ($10-30)

total = ~$160 per video

but now with AI, it will cost you way less:

claude for scripts ($20/mo)

elevenlabs for voice (I'll show you how to get this 99.9% cheaper)

capcut for editing (free)

VA to manage it ($5-15/video or do it yourself)

total is around $10-$20 per video fully outsourced with no work on your end

here are 9 mistakes you should NEVER do after posting a youtube video (save this thread): mistake #1: watching your own video right after uploading

if you watch your own video

you're probably not gonna watch it all the way through

which tanks your retention and tells youtube your video sucks

let the algorithm do its thing without messing with the retention

a lot of people never make it with yt just because they don't know what they don't know

so here are 10 mistakes you should avoid when starting a faceless channel, that you may not know: mistake #1: using a completely fresh channel

a lot of people miss this, but if you create a new channel using a fresh google account, youtube will likely shadow-ban you

cuz they think you're a bot trying to spam the platform

Instead just use an old channel you have, or make sure you’re using a trusted google account when creating your channel, then warm it up

I started my biggest faceless channel “howtoai” while working in a supermarket.

On top of that, I was studying full-time.

2 years later, I’ve built a $2,000,000+ YouTube business.

Here’s how I did it at 19 years old 🧵
Back in 2023, AI was starting to get attention.

Considering ChatGPT’s hype, there had to be demand for learning how to use it.

So I did something completely outside of my comfort zone,

I took the risk and started howtoai without knowing anything about YouTube, or AI.

used to outsource all of my youtube video scripts to an overseas writer

made $0 for 3 months (lost $1000s in editing costs)

started writing them myself in Oct 2023 and then this happened:

Oct: +$3000
Nov: +$4000
Dec:+ $4500
Jan: +$6000

here’s how i write scripts that make $2,000+ per video 🧵 since I mastered youtube scripts:

I’ve made $80K+ just from adsense on one 1 channel

I’ve made $1M+ from that channel’s traffic on other ventures

here’s my youtube script blueprint in full:

This channel has paid me $400K in 12 months.

The crazy part? it’s only got 120K subscribers & averages 30K views per video.

I can monetize my audiences better than 99% of other YouTubers.

Here’s the blueprint I follow to turn my channels into cash machines: This blueprint has allowed me to:

- Scale an eCom store to $41K/mo.
- Scale an affiliate offer to $15K/mo.
- Make $59K in side projects this year
- Make $23K in AdSense this year

All from one YouTube channel.

Here’s the blueprint (nothing held back):
