How to start a faceless YouTube channel with AI [1 HOUR COURSE]

it took me 365 days to make $500,000 with this faceless YouTube channel yeah so when I started this channel I was a broke high school student with $120 to my name today 365 days later I make a full-time income from my faceless channels travel the world and work from absolutely anywhere in the world all thanks to YouTube automation for this video I've gathered all my YouTube knowledge into a full in-depth 1hour plus course that will teach you how to start your your own monetizable faceless Channel with AI after watching this video you'll have the entire

blueprint I used to go from $0 to $150,000 a month I will go through everything from how to find good topics write engaging scripts generate a voice over design your own character create visuals editing and even how to monetize your channel and no I'm not talking about ad Revenue I'm talking about a brand new way to monetize faceless channels that I've never heard anyone talk about before to make things easy for you to follow I will break down a niche that has gone absolutely viral in the last couple of months channels in this Niche are

to this day getting millions of views and make well over 10K a month the craziest part is that their videos are created entirely with AI the niche I'm talking about is the history Niche it's kind of a broad Niche I know I want to leave some room for imagination so that you can Implement what you'll learn in this video and start your own unique Channel anyways these channels are creating longer documentary style videos about historical events like the Roman Empire or World War II this channel for example called beginning to now is bringing in around

$4,500 just from ad revenue and in reality it's a lot more than that when counting in all of their other income sources before you get too excited though I just have to say that YouTube does require 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours of watch time to monetize your channel which can be a real pain in the ass as you're starting out if you want to skip the grind to 1,000 subscribers where you initially won't earn a dollar back there are websites like tick accounts where you can buy pre- monetized channels they're all organic and have a

western audience meaning their RPM is as high as it can get so trust me the accounts do work usually it takes around 6 months to get a channel monetized but with these you can earn ad revenue on your first post so if you're in the market for such accounts feel free to use my code how to aai and they'll see that you came from my channel it actually helps out more than you think now before we get into the tutorial I just want to tell you that this is not one of those dopamine hitting High

paste videos you're used to this will be a slower paced video with full transparency I'll show you absolutely everything from start to finish every button I press to create these videos I've studied all the most successful channels in this Niche and created a 13-step blueprint that I'll break down step by step for you guys if you follow all of these steps you will go from being a beginner to a YouTu tube automation expert first we're going to analyze our competition I've picked out some of the most successful channels in the historical Niche and done a

full breakdown of their strategies and the main takeaways we can use when creating our own video I'll also show you how much these channels are making and all their income sources like ad Revenue affiliate marketing communities and all that stuff next we'll find a viral topic with AI in literally just a couple of minutes I've found this crazy AI software that analyzes other Channel's most viral videos and provides you with similar topics so stay tuned for that then we're going to use AI to generate a script and create a custom character next we'll create and

animate visuals in Leonardo AI then before we get into the editing I'll show you how to find monetizable music after that we'll put it all together in cap cut and turn it into a Netflix style documentary once the video is ready I'll show you my step-by-step blueprint I use to create all my thumbnails then I'll show you what upload settings I use and how to optimize your video for SEO when we've posted the video I'll show you how you can monetize your channel and actually make money from it to make things easy for you I've

created this document with all the steps and tools we'll be going through in this video it's basically a step-by-step checklist with all the steps that go into creating these videos so as we're creating this video I'll check these boxes to make sure we're not missing any steps I figured this would make it easier for you guys when creating these videos yourself I really suggest you get it because there's quite a lot of steps that go into this and it can get pretty confusing unless you have it all mapped out it's in the first welcome channel

in my free community you can just join and grab it as you wish it's super simple and will take you no more than a minute to do however this is really where you'll find the most value if you want to take this seriously this is where me and my mentors are dropping the real sauce the stuff I can't fit into these videos on YouTube it's literally free value you won't find anywhere else for Absolut abolutely 0 so now that you have the document ready let's get into creating the actual video so as you can see

the first step is obviously to create a channel to begin with you want to head over to YouTube and click on your profile picture then you want to hit switch account and you'll see all your active channels since we want to create a new one you want to click on view all channels you'll then be taken to this page where you want to press create new channel next you want to fill in this box with your username if you already have a name in mind just type it in here and hit create if not we

can use AI to come up with one to do this you first want to head over to chat GPT then you want to copy this prompt that you'll find in the document and paste it into chat GPT I've already filled it in with my Niche and competitors but you can really use this prompt regardless of your Niche just switch the word history with your own Niche and the names of the competitors next you want to hit generate and it'll give you 10 name suggestions question to choose from I thought Legacy of Ages sounded really good

so I'll just copy it and head back to YouTube and paste now you want to hit create and your channel will be ready but we can't really leave it like this so the next step is to customize our Channel with a description profile picture and all that stuff start off by clicking on customize Channel then you want to press basic info to the right and you'll be taken to this page where you can change your username and add a description first you want to add a handle this is basically your Channel's unique username and since

it's Unique you can't have the same handle as any other channel so chances are high your username will already be taken by someone else in this case you just want to go with something as close as possible like adding an extra letter in this case I'll just add an extra s once you found one it's time to create a description with AI now you want to head back over to the document and copy this prompt and paste it into chat GPT we're basically telling it to generate an engaging description packed with keywords that will optimize

our Channel's SEO and to keep it between 100 to 150 words so just hit enter and it'll write the entire description for you I'd recommend you read it through and make sure everything looks good then you just want to copy the entire thing and paste it into YouTube now you want to head over to The Branding section here you'll be able to upload a profile picture which we're going to create right now to do this head back over to chat GPT and paste in this prompt that you'll find in the document if you're cre creating

a channel in the history Niche you'll probably be able to use the same prompt I'm using otherwise just adjust it to whatever Niche your channel is in now hit generate and it'll give you a detailed description of the image but we can't really do much with this so ask it to turn the design idea into a text prompt this way we'll get a detailed prompt we can use in any AI image generator you want for this tutorial I'll use Leonardo AI since they have some crazy features we're going to use later on in the video

and of course it's free if you're starting out but you can really go with any image generator out there like mid Journey which will probably give you a better result but at the same time it's expensive so once you're in the image generator make sure you have the aspect ratio set to 1 one this will make the image be in a square shape which is exactly what we want when creating a profile picture I also like to set the number of images to four so I have a couple of them to choose from next you

want to copy the image prompt from chat GPT that you generated earlier and paste it into Leonardo hit generate and wait for the images to be created now pick the one you like best and download it then head back over to YouTube and upload it now lastly we need to optimize our Channel's SEO with keywords SEO stands for search engine optimization it's basically a way to make it easier for people to find our Channel Through Search keywords think about when you Google something the website that appears at the top or at least rank high without

paid ads they have really good SEO Google wants to show their page in order for us to get the same results for our YouTube channel click on settings and go to the tab that says channel here you'll see a box where you can enter keywords related to your Niche to find keywords I like to use chat GPT and ask it to provide me with a list of keywords related to the history Niche now just copy each keyword and paste it into YouTube Once done with that you want to hit save and our channel is all

set first you got to find competitors to do this I like to open up YouTube and incognito mode basically without being logged into an account then you want to search up main keywords in your niche in this case words like history and history documentary then you want to find the channels that get the most views a good sign is that there are lots of smaller channels pushing a lot of views let's say a Channel with 20K Subs that gets 100K plus views on multiple videos this means YouTube's pushing their videos to audiences outside of the

subscribers so I found three channels that are creating videos in a similar Niche you'll find the link to all of them in the document the first channel is called voices of the past they have almost a million subscribers and 76 million views they're creating these really long history documentaries that consist of basically just images some text and a voiceover they don't have any character or anything like that and they don't even animate the images which is something I'll teach you how to do later on the second channel is this one called fire of learning they

have quite a different style with a bit more editing but most of their videos are just images with a few transitions as you can see they're making a couple thousand a month from ad Revenue they also have this patreon page where they're charging anywhere from $1 to $15 a month now lastly we have this channel called beginning to now they post these really long documentaries about historical events like the British and Persian Empire it's literally just what looks to be AI generated images and a voice over I really like the style of their videos so

we'll take some inspiration from this channel once we start creating the video one thing they're really doing well is in their titles they're starting each title with the entire history of followed by the event the video is about this way they're branding their channel so that people know it's their video I figured we'll do something similar with our own video but more on that later as you can see some of their videos are up to 3 hours long so it's safe to say they're making a good amount just from ad Revenue social blade says they're

making 4K a month but I'd guess it's a lot more since their video are so long and they're actually not monetizing their channel in any way outside of AD Revenue later on in this video I'll show you guys three ways you can monetize a channel like this outside of AD Revenue now that we've got a better understanding of the competition it's time to get into the actual video creation so the first thing we got to do is to come up with a viral topic here's one important thing for you to take away from this video

your topic is literally not 90% of the reason whether your video goes viral or not no one cares if you have the greatest quality and editing if your topic sucks and it goes the same way around a video with a great topic can go viral with terrible quality and editing if the topic interests people I see too many channels overlook this step and create videos on topics absolutely no one cares about and they all end up with no views at all since we're creating videos in the history Niche which is quite an evergreen Niche there's

not really any Trends we got to take into account instead we can take inspiration from our competitors and their best performing videos let's take this channel we talked about earlier all of their best performing videos are about the entire history of the human civilization Egypt United Kingdom and so on each one of them is getting millions of views which tells us it's a proven concept so there's actually an easier way to find video topics using AI what you want to do is head over to this website called tube magic you'll find the link to it

in the document we're going to use this tool not only to find a viral topic but also to generate our script once you've signed up for an account you want to click on video idea and here we're going to paste the link of one of our competitors so just copy the link from YouTube and paste it the AI will then analyze all their most popular videos and give you a similar topic now hit generate and it'll give you a couple of video topic suggestions if you press generate again it'll come up with a new topic

so do this a couple of times until you get one you like as you can see it uses the exact same the entire history of Structure as they do on their videos now once you picked a topic you want to hit generate script I'll go with the entire history of Japan you can also use this bar to choose how long you want the script to be since this is a tutorial and I don't want to bore you guys out I'll set it to 800 words but you can really go with any length you want just

look at the channel I showed you earlier all of their videos are anywhere from 1 to 3 hours long so there's really no limit to it truth is longer videos perform better on YouTube let me give you an example you have two channels that post the exact same quality videos they're the same length topics everything is identical if one of them would actually post videos where everything is still the same but the length of the content is way longer than the competitor the channel posting the longer videos would win in the long run this is

a crucial concept to understand when looking at how to overtake competitive Niche so yeah click on generate and in a couple of seconds tube magic will write the entire script for you I just want to make it clear before I show you the results from tube magic if you have the time write the scripts yourself if you learn how a viral script is built it will help you so much I really mean it just analyze how the competitors write their scripts and try to write them yourself the first one's going to suck but we're in

this for the long run anyways tube magic scripts usually you don't have to spend a lot of time editing them but it's still recommend you read it through a couple of times just to make sure everything looks good after reading it through I thought the hook was a bit too formal and boring so I'll make changes to this first paragraph the hook is really what will make or break your video so it needs to be engaging without a good hook the viewer might leave your video early resulting in YouTube thinking your video is just pure

crap but since we can't edit the script inside of tube magic just copy and paste the script into a Google doc just go to the Google Doc website and open up a new DOC like this now copy the first paragraph and head over to chat GPT then you want to paste in this prompt that you'll find in the checklist document followed by the paragraph it'll rewrite the paragraph and make it more engaging now copy it and paste it into the script document just make sure you delete the old first paragraph and our script is done

Chad what's up next hi Leo good to be back it's a big tutorial you're doing here right yeah we're going through absolutely everything there is to know about this stuff I see so you've created your script it's now time to generate a voice over I always use 11 labs for this since they have the most realistic voices and it's really cheap if you don't already have an account you can just sign up with your Gmail or Google account here on the homepage it only takes a couple of seconds then you want to click on the

tab that says voices here you've got two options you can either go with one of their pre-made voices or you can create your own voice which generally is a lot better the thing is most of their pre-made voices have already been used millions of times and people will have heard it before instead if you're looking to Brand your channel and make people recognize it you want to create something unique for your channel and it's really super simple to do click on this button to the right that says add new voice then press create new voice

and you'll be able to design it yourself there's really no right or wrong here you just want to create a voice that fits your Niche since we're creating a history documentary I feel like like a male voice is a good choice for age I'll go with middle-aged and the nationality to American now experiment with accent strength try generating it a couple of times till you get one you like and hit use voice then you name it so you know which one it is and click on create voice now to actually use the voice for your

content go to the speech Tab and choose the voice you just created the mistake I see a lot of people make is generating the entire script at once don't do this it can make the voice over you gener sound kind of robotical and we'd want to avoid that if possible watching a video that sounds unnatural and weird to watch will throw off the viewer instead you want to paste in one paragraph at a time so start off by copying the first paragraph from the script document and paste it into 11 Labs I wouldn't recommend you

change these settings here unless you know what you're doing it can just end up making your voice sound kind of weird as well now hit generate speech and wait a couple of seconds here you'll see that your voice over has been generated and you can click the little play button here to preview it so listen through it so that it sounds natural sometimes the software is lagging and gives you really weird sounding voiceovers it'll be a pain in the ass if you realize that when you've already edited your whole video once you've confirmed it looks

good you want to click on this button to the right and download it the rest is really simple just repeat this process till you've generated the entire script so I'll just speed up this process and get back to you when I'm done so now that we have the entire voice over ready it took me no more than a minute however the AI generated voiceovers often have these small unnatural pauses in them so basically what we want to do is Implement a little trick that I'll show you in a bit it's actually really simple so you

don't need any special knowledge what you want to do is open up cap cut and create a new project now import all the voiceover files by pressing the upload tab here and just selecting the file of the voiceovers then add them to the timeline and make make sure they're in the right order nothing too crazy after that you want to click on this button to the right and switch to split mode now make Cuts like this every time there's a silent moment one where the pause begins and one where it ends then just repeat this

on the entire voice over till you've cut out all the pauses next select the silent moments you just cut out hit the delete button and drag the clips together like this now again repeat this process on the entire voice over till all the silent moments are deleted by cutting out all the pauses the video will get a higher pace and be more engaging to the viewer like literally every single Creator that's big and uses an AI voice does this it's the biggest engagement hack and basically takes no time to do just listen to the difference

Japanese Society if you enjoyed this Journey Through Time Please Subscribe like and share this video keep in mind though if you are doing these historical videos that are let's say 3 hours in length this isn't really necessary this is because the pace of the is usually super super slow so It'll be just a big waste of time to do this and to be honest it's not really going to fit the nich's style either this little hack is primarily for shorter videos now click export in the top right check the box that says audio and uncheck

the one that says video this way it'll be exported as an MP3 file which will make things a lot easier moving forward so just name it and hit export now the next step good job so far Leo you've learned a lot since last time yeah I know but you know I want to create something really unique here something none of the competitors are doing have any ideas Chad so I looked through your character analysis and something I noticed was that neither of them have a character which is something that has been proven to work for

lots of faceless channels so your advice is you should create a unique character for each video that's all I can tell you the rest you got to figure out yourself faceless YouTube channels with a character have been proven to perform really well I mean just look at mine also I noticed that almost no other channels in our Niche are doing this so it'll absolutely give us a competitive Advantage it's also a really big thing if you want to Brand your channel more at least in my opinion you should always brand your channel if your audience

recognizes your channel through a character it'll be much easier later on to build an actual brand and sell products once your channel is established now this is just in general for the example here I will only generate a character that we'll use in this specific video cuz it's more engaging to watch I'll do this part in Leonardo AI so to start off you want to head over to chat GPT and use yet another prompt I've already prepared it you'll find it in the Google Doc we're basically asking chat GPT to generate a design idea for

an older Japanese character since the topic is the entire history of Japan this prompt probably won't be useful for you unless you're creating a Japan related video but it's good to have some inspiration when you write your own basically you just want to create a character with a connection to your topic when you get your prompt ready hit generate and ask it to turn the design idea into a text prompt that can be used in Leonardo AI now copy The Prompt and head over to Leonardo AI before we generate it you want to make sure

you've set the image Dimensions to 169 I also recommend you set the number of images to four so you have a couple to choose from now hit generate and wait a couple of seconds for the images to load they're all looking really cool but I think this one is the best since the person is looking straight into the camera which will make it a lot easier to animate so once you found one you like you want to hover over the image and press the button that says download image now the next step is to animate

our character so that it looks like it's talking which is actually really easy to do basically we're going to insert the voice over into an AI software along with the picture we just generated and the software will then animate our image so that it looks like our character is the one saying it to do this you want to head over to this website called did and if you want your character to be talking you'll need to invest some money into getting a subscription here they have a free plan but when you try to export it

they'll throw water marks all over the screen which just looks really terrible I'm on their light plan which has worked well for me but if you're looking to create longer videos you might need to consider getting the pro or Advanced plan also there's other websites like hay Jen but for this example I'm going to use did so once you've created your account you want to click on create video as you can see they have tons of pre-made characters to choose from but we want to use our own so click on upload and upload the character

we created in Leonardo you'll then be able to choose what emotions and movements you want I'd recommend you stick with natural as emotion since we're creating a historical documentary next click on script to the right here you'll be able to to either paste in your script or upload an audio file their voiceovers are pretty bad though and since we've already created our own highquality voice over in 11 Labs that's the one we're going to use so click on audio and then upload audio now choose the 11 laabs file and wait a couple of seconds so

that it can be uploaded or processed or whatever then you want to click on generate video and it'll automatically animate the image into a talking character after waiting a couple of minutes this is the result and as you can see it looks really good now just hit download and our character is done the next step now is to generate all of the images that will'll show along with the character cuz if the whole video is the character just sitting there and talking it's going to be then you might as well not upload anything at all

honestly we have to stimulate and paint up the picture of our story more and images are often a good way to do it so the first thing you want to do is generate text prompts again for this I've actually prepared a prompt in the document for you to copy that you can use used for pretty much anything as you can see we're telling chat GPT that we're going to play a game where chat GPT is my prompt generator then we tell it to turn each paragraph of our script into five different text prompts that match

the story line so first you want to copy this prompt paste it into chat GPT and generate it next you want to open up the script document copy the first paragraph and paste it into chat GPT it'll then give you five detailed prompts we can use in Leonardo but before we start generating them in Leonardo you want to repeat this process till you have a full conversation like this with prompts for the entire script so I'll just speed up this process and get back to you when I'm [Music] done okay so I've generated prompts for

the entire script this means we can actually head over to Leonardo again and start generating I'm on their $12 a month plan which is really cheap and it's been enough for me but again if you're looking to create these longer 1 hour plus videos you might need to get a package with more credits once you're ready on the website you want to click on image creation before we start generating though we have to change the settings a bit to fit the vibe of the video I'll use one of their presets called cinematic Kino and set

the image Dimensions to 169 when it comes to the number of images you can really go with whatever you like I'll go with one but if you have some credits to spend it might be a good idea to set it to two so you have a couple to choose from now what you want to do is head back over to chat GPT copy the first prompt and paste it to Leonardo then you want to add the words ultra realistic at the end since that will make the result even better now you want to hit generate

and wait a couple of seconds for it to be created as you can see it looks good and has that Japanese Vibe we're looking for this is actually a good example because now that we only want images in the same style there's a really good feature we can use to do this you want to hover over it and click on this button that says image guidance now click on image to image and then confirm as you can see the image will now pop up under the prompt box as a reference image what this means is

that whatever image we generate will have the same characteristics as that one which really helps when you want to keep the same style throughout the entire video now place the mouse over the image and set the strength to 0.1 the strength you set will tell the software how much guidance it should take from the reference image let's say we set it to 0.9 Leonardo will then try to make it as alike as possible while 0.1 will allow it to be a bit more creative while still considering the reference image so yeah now that you know

that it's time to get to work head back over to chat GPT copy the second prompt and paste it into Leonardo once again we just want to repeat this process until all prompts are generated this will probably take a while so I'll speed this part up slightly and get back to you when I'm done all right so I've generated all the images and as you can see our lineup looks pretty solid if we just keep the images still like this it's going to be a bit boring though don't get me wrong it can work but

Leonardo actually has an animation feature so we can make them a bit more engaging to watch so now we can actually move on to the next step which is to animate the images and this is really the reason why I'm using Leonardo instead of mid journey I don't think mid Journey even has this option to use it what you want to do is click on personal feed and find the first image you generated press on it and you'll see this button that says image to motion you'll then be able to choose how strong you want

the animation to be by setting the motion strength if you set it to 10 it'll create a really strong movement that I'll show you in a moment but basically it'll just look really weird and unnatural on the other hand if you set it to one it's not going to do anything at all so what I like to do is set it to anywhere between 3 to five for this video I'll go with four so to make it easier for you guys to understand what this feature does I'll generate this image three times with motion strength

10 5 and 1 here's motion strength 10 then I'll do the same but this time set it to five and lastly one where I set the strength to one now click on image creation to the left and you'll see them being generated right here these motion Generations can take a couple of minutes so I'll just jump straight into when they're done all right cool all of them are now generated so this is the one where I set the strength to 10 and as you can see it just looks really saturated and unnatural so avoid having

it this high this is the one where I set it to one and yeah there's almost no movement at all now this is the one I put to five which is what I'd recommend you do too it adds this slight movement that just looks really cool so repeat this process till you've animated all the images I'll for example go back to personal feed and do the same thing with the second image the rest is pretty self-explanatory so I'll just just speed up the process and get back when I'm done when you're done animating all the

images you just want to download all of them to do this go to your personal feed again and click on the first image you animated you'll then see this button that lets you download the small video straight to your computer you can click on this left Arrow here and just download it that way to streamline the process now that I have all the animations downloaded we can move on to the next step of creating the video which is to find some music there are two ways you can go about this first one being that you

have great music skills and find music yourself second one being you have no clue and use the prompt I've put into the document what you want to do is copy it and paste it into chat GPT we're basically describing the kind of video we're creating and then ask it to give us suggestions of music that would fit so hit generate and it'll give you a long list like this of music genres now to find the actual music you want to use some copyright free music website like pixabay once you've opened it up you want to

copy the genre from chat GPT and paste it into pixabay then you want to listen through the songs till you have enough to cover the entire video and please dear God do not repeat any soundtracks in your video it just hurts to see when people actually do this your viewers will catch on and just be annoyed overall if you want to download them when you found something on pixabay you just want to click on this button to the right and voila you now have the background music to use in your videos once you have them

down downloaded we can move on to the final boss of editing of course it's time we put all of this together and actually create our documentary video now I'll do this part in cap cut but if you're used to using another editing software like Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro that works just as fine the reason I'm using cap cut is mostly because it's free but it also has tons of pre-made features that makes the editing process a whole lot easier what we want to do here is have the animated images go on through the

entire video then we want to crop out the character and put him on the side of the screen so he's always visible so once you've opened up cap cut click on import and upload all the footage I'll start off by importing the character video followed by all the visuals then you want to select all the visuals and drag them to the timeline like this again as with the voice over make sure they're in the right order leaving it like this with a sharp cut between the clips makes it a bit annoying to look at so

to make it smoother we can add some transitions what you want to do is click on the button that says transitions in the top left cut literally has hundreds of pre-made transitions you can choose from but you really want to go with something smooth that's easy for the eye to look at in other words not some crazy transition where the entire screen is spinning around in the document I've included my favorite transitions which are basically the only three ones I use when creating videos like this the first one's called blur just search for it in

this bar right here to find it then you want to click on it and drag it between the first two clips and as you can see it adds this really smooth transition that makes the clips blend together really well the second one's called mix which you don't even need to search up you'll find it right under the trending transitions same here just click on it and drag it between the first two clips if you want to you can add the speed of the transition under the text that says duration to the right I usually set

it to around 0.3 which I think looks pretty good so I'll use this one throughout the entire video the last one however is called fade and you can just search for it if you want to use it now adding each transition between each clip would literally take forever so what you want to do is select the transition and click on the button to the right that says apply to all this way the same transition will be added automatically between all the clips which saves you lots of time Pro tip from me to you next you

want to drag the character video to the timeline and place it above the visuals as you can see the character video and the voice over is longer than the visuals to fix this we'll need to duplicate some of the visuals to fill it out I really wouldn't recommend you to do this instead go back to Leonardo and generate more images until you have enough to cover the entire voice over but if you have to you want to highlight all the visuals rightclick and hit create compound clip this will turn all the visuals into one clip

that we can then duplicate so just hit copy paste adjust it so that it starts right after the first clips and trim it down so that it ends at the same time as the voice over next we're going to mask out our character this basically means to to cut out a segment of the whole video which in this case is the face of our character to do this you want to select the clip of the character and click on the tab that says mask to the right as you can see you have these shapes to

choose from I like to use the circular shape so I'll just click on that and it'll change the shape of the video into a circle now you just want to adjust the size of the video and place it in one of the corners to change the size just select the video click on basic and change the scale I'll set it to around 60 to 70% and place it in the upper left corner the next step is to add Zoom inss to the visuals which I'd say is optional since the animation is pretty much doing this

for us but if you want to add some extra Zoom inss you first need to select the visuals rightclick and hit undo compound clip which will basically just reverse it into multiple clips then you want to select the clip you want to add the zoom into and click on basic to the right next press this little square next to the scale and set it to 100% now drag the marker to the end of the clip and set the scale to 140% we've now added what's called key frames that'll make the video go from scale 100

to 140 I don't really think this is necessary since the animations look so good on their own but feel free to do this on all the clips if you want to the next step is to add some effects or filters if you want to call it that to do this you want to click on effects in the top left and search for one called noise 2 once you found it click on it and drag it to the timeline extend it so that it covers the entire video and place it underneath the character as you can

see it adds this kind of retro filter that I think looks really good on history related videos feel free to experiment around and add some other effects if you like to but I'll just leave it like this for now next we got to do some color grading and no we're not going to do some insane color grading so while you editors out there watching this come me some slack okay but click on adjustment in the top left and then custom adjustment layer this is basically a layer that allows you to edit the tones and colors

of all the layers underneath the adjustment layer start off by extending it so that it covers the entire screen then you want to move the character above the adjustment layer since we only want to change the colors of the visuals select the adjustment layer click on basic to the right and scroll all the way down to vignette set it at 20 which adds this Darkness to the corners and puts much more focus on the center of the screen now scroll up a bit and set sharpen to around 20 to make it a bit more crispy

and this is really all the color correction I like to do if you know what you're doing feel free to add some other adjustments but otherwise I'd recommend you just leave it like this next you want to add some captions which is really easy to do just click on captions on this bar right here and hit generate cap cut will then automatically transcribe the video and captions this is also one of my favorite cap cut features I don't even know how many times I've used this usually it's really good at getting a correct but I'd

still recommend you read them through to make sure there's no mistakes once you've read them through we want to animate them to make them look a bit more engaging so click on templates to the right and you'll have hundreds of pre-made animations to choose from many of them you'll only be able to access if you buy cap Cuts pro version but there's still a few you can get with a free plan so look through them and pick a template you like since we're creating a long form video I'd recommend you go with the template that

shows more than one word at a time like this one these single word templates are made for higher paced short form content once you found one just click on it and it'll be applied throughout the entire video I liked the animation of this one but I think we can make the text look a bit better if you click on this button that says basic you'll be able to edit the look of the text the first thing I'll do is change the color of the text from yellow to White I think that looks a bit more

professional then I'll go on and add this glow effect and decrease the stroke a little bit lastly click on this button next to the text that says case and turn all the captions into capital letters this also just looks a bit more professional for a history video done good if you've been paying attention you probably realize that we haven't made any use of the music we downloaded earlier so let's add that while we're at it I think these soundtracks should be enough to cover the entire video so let's just add them one by one to

make it sound more smooth drag this little dot to the right to make it fade in the the number you see here is how long the fade in will take I usually set it to around 2 seconds nothing too crazy then once again click basic to the right and adjust the volume it's super important to do this otherwise the viewer won't hear the voice so I'll drag it down to around minus 25 now add the second track create a fade in and adjust the volume basically the exact same thing as we did on the first

one then just repeat this process again on the last track and that's pretty much all the editing we got to do pretty simple huh so the next step is to export the actual video to our computer click on export in the top right and you'll be able to choose all of these settings since the video will be uploaded on YouTube you want to set the resolution to 4K and frame rate to 60 frames per second to get the best quality hit generate and wait a couple of minutes for the video to get exported the longer

the video is the longer the export will actually take if it's a super long video click export and go eat dinner or whatever take a shower when it's done just save it to your computer and now it's time for the front end kind of stuff the thumbnail creating viral thumbnails is a video Topic in itself but I'll show you my entire blueprint on how to create thumbnails that actually get clicks I'll go through everything from coming up with ideas thumbnail types branding and testing literally everything that goes into it 9 months ago I created this

video today this thumbnail has been clicked on almost a million times and has been replicated by hundreds of channels when it comes to coming up with ideas you do not want want to try to reinvent the wheel the odds of you coming up with a new viral thumbnail design that has never been done before are pretty slim and just going with a proven concept will increase the chances you hit the gold mine so just copy what already Works try to find patterns in viral thumbnails and replicate them remember what Pablo Picasso said good artists copy

but great artists steal let me give you an example lately I've seen this channel getting hundreds of thousands of views per video with these types of thumbnails fast forward I started seeing multiple other channels using the exact same structure split the thumbnail into three images and put a text over it and then I knew it was a proven concept here's another one this is Daniel dalen a couple of months ago he started posting Vlogs about work and lifestyle since then he's gained 100,000 subscribers and millions of views but his channel really popped off when he

started using this thumbnail style basically just an image of him with a text that says POV in the background and now I see channels all over YouTube copying this style and again a proven concept so I thought I'd use the exact same style on the thumbnail we're about to create for our own video the first thing you want to do is head over to Leonardo AI again and click on personal feed you want to look through all of the images we generated and pick out your three favorites the reason why you want to go with

three images is because YouTube recently released a split testing function that lets you test multiple thumbnails to see which one performs best but more on that later now you want to download these three images by clicking on them and pressing this button right here then open up whatever design software of your choice I'll do this part in canva since it's free and really intuitive but Photoshop or anything like that will work fine as well if you have some experience already so when you're logged in on canva you want to click on this button that says

create design here you'll be able to find templates for pretty much anything social media related but you want to click on the search bar and type in YouTube thumbnail once it pops up click on it and it'll set the right dimensions for you if you look to the right you'll see they have these pre-made templates but we're going to create our own from scratch we're original remember first things first go to the left here and click on uploads now press this button that says upload files and find the three images we downloaded in Leonardo once

you can see them in this bar to the left you want to click on the first image and drag it onto the screen like this as you can see it doesn't cover the entire screen so just drag out the corner like this till it does since we're creating three different thumbnails you want to click on ADD page and do the same thing with the other two images later on in canva we'll actually save each page as a separate file it's just more convenient let's add the text first to do this you want to click on

text in this bar to the left and then on heading the thumbnail I mentioned earlier that we're going to replicate has this text that says POV behind a person or an object it might seem complicated at first but it's actually really easy to do start off by clicking on the text box and type in p POV the idea here is that we're going to make the text really big and put it behind the Samurai warrior to put the text behind him we'll first have to remove the image background what you want to do is click

edit image and then on BG remover then let it load for a couple of seconds and as you can see It'll remove everything except for the Samurai warrior now you want to click on uploads and add the exact same image with the background and put it behind the cropped image you can make sure it's behind it by right clicking on it go down to layer and press send to back then adjust the size so that it covers the entire screen as you can see you don't even notice the cropped out version is there to put

the text behind the cropped image you again want to right click on it go to layer and hit send backward this way the text will be placed between the cropped image and the background image and as you can see the text will now appear behind him now I'll just adjust the sides of it and make it really big by dragging out the Cor Corners like this to make it clear what the video is about I think it would be a good idea to add another text saying history of Japan or something like that so I'll

again click on text and add another heading then I'll write history of Japan and click on this button above it to turn it into capital letters now adjust the size so that it has the same width as the POV text box to make the text Pop a bit more let's add some kind of effect to do this you want to select the text box click on effects and you'll have a few styles to choose from I really like the neon effect so I'll just click on it and it'll be added to the text now just

repeat this process on the other text box I think it turned out really good like this so we can just repeat the exact same process on the other two images and we'll have three different thumbnails to split test like a true YouTube Pro okay so I've designed the three versions of it and as you can see they look really good but before we download them I thought it'd be a good idea to add another color to the POV text to do this you want to select the POV text and click on this button that'll let

you change the text to any color you want I'll change it to some unique color like pink to make it really stand out repeat this process on the other two thumbnails and we're ready to export them if you want you can use different colors for all the thumbnails to see which performs the best but it's up to you to download them just click on share in the top right and then on download I'd recommend you export it as a PNG file to make sure you get the best quality but sometimes YouTube requires smaller files as

the thumbnail so you might be needing to export it as a JPEG now click on download and repeat the same process on the other two images our video is created thumbnails are done and all that's left to do is upload the video a lot of channels just upload the video without knowing what they're doing and miss out on a ton of views I'll show you the exact strategy I'm using when uploading my videos to come up with titles descriptions keywords and even what settings to use first thing you want to do is open up your

YouTube channel and click on create in the top right then click on upload video and choose the file you downloaded from capcut coming up with titles descriptions and all that stuff by yourself is really hard so I like to use vid IQ it's basically an AI software that creates all these things for you in a couple of seconds it's pretty convenient so head over to vid IQ and sign up for an account it's free of course then you want to click on Coach to the left in this prompt box right here you want to describe

your video topic and ask it to give you a description filled with keywords related to your Niche hit generate and it'll give you a topic description and keywords now just copy it and paste it into YouTube disclaimer though I would always recommend you do look at competitors and if they have any specific proven title format and just go with that but if not and you're satisfied with the vid IQ title and description just copy them go back to YouTube and paste it in the different fields since we used the word POV in our thumbnail I

thought it'd be a good idea to do the same thing in the title then once that's done scroll down a bit till you find this text that says playlist you always want to have your videos inside of a playlist to make it easier for the viewer to find your other videos in this case if we created more videos in the same Niche for example The History of the United States it'll make it a lot easier for the viewer to find it if it's in the same playlist it actually makes a bigger difference than you think

because if you find a video you like often times times you just continue watching the same stuff and having a playlist will make it easy for the viewer to just kind of continue watching to create one click on create playlist and give it a name I'll give this one the entire history of click on Create and it'll be added to our new playlist then you want to press no under altered content I know we're using AI but we're not doing anything like making it look like a real person is saying something they aren't then you

want to scroll down to tags and here we can actually just use the keywords from vid IQ so go back to the vid IQ website copy the keywords and paste them into YouTube by adding these to our video we'll get better SEO and show up when people are searching for any of these words both on Google and the YouTube search feature it's also time to actually prepare for the split test of the thumbnails to do this scroll back up here in YouTube and press the test and compare feature here you want to upload the three

thumbnails we created in canva and YouTube will test which one that performs best for us automatically this didn't exist a couple of months ago so we might as well utilize it as much as possible While others don't know what it is so click on these plus buttons and upload each thumbnail one by one let them load for a bit and click done once you've posted a couple of videos you want to start adding end screens which are basically recommendations at the end to watch one of your other videos to do this you want to click

on end screen and you'll be able to link your other videos so that the viewer can easily move from one to the next one now click on the tab that says visibility and make sure it's set to public lastly you want to hit upload and that's pretty much all that goes into it so now all you got to do is repeat the same process and find yourself a posting schedule you can stay consistent with too there's really no right amount of times you need to post every week you just got to find what works for

you I try to stick to one video a week but if you can do more than that that's also great the important thing is you always prioritize quality before quantity don't stress the process only to post more focus on improving the quality of each video and you'll see much better results in the long run but now on to the last part of this free course by the way guys if you found this little video helpful so far feel free to join my free community it doesn't cost anything and I can actually help you guys out

a lot more in there since it's easier to chat and stuff also once again if you're interested in getting pre monetized YouTube channels just check out tick accounts in the description if you actually use my discount code it supports me a lot and helps me make longer more in-depth videos like this so how do you actually make money from this [Music] channel there are mainly four ways you can monetize your Channel first obviously being ad Revenue the money you make from advertisers showing their ad before and during your video the way this works is that

YouTube will pay you an RPM Revenue per Millo this is basically the amount of money YouTube is paying you per thousand views and this number can vary anywhere between 1 cent to $100 depending on your niche what you'll make is hard to know beforehand but it all has to do with your Niche and where your audience is from if all your viewers are from third world countries like India you'll have a pretty low RPM but if your viewers are from First World countries let's say the United States you're more likely to have a higher RPM

normally you'd have to reach 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours of watch time to even be able to make money from this but honestly if you do this correctly ad Revenue should be your least profitable income source since I started my channel 18 months ago only 5% of my combined revenue is from ad Revenue instead you should focus on monetizing your audience in other ways one of the most common ways channels are making money outside of AD revenue is from affiliate marketing these are links in the description that lead to some kind of product page and

if someone buys something through their link that channel gets a commission for that sale for example the links you see under this video are affiliate links so let's say you get a subscription on any of the software used in this video I'll make a small commission I try to only hook you guys up with free websites but some do require subscriptions so affiliate marketing is a great way for your viewers to support the channel while they're buying something they would buy either way it's a win-win now let's say we wanted to affiliate a product for

the channel we've created in this video that could be something like a history book about Japanese history or literally anything in that style usually it's really easy to sign up for affiliate programs most companies even have a way to do it right on their website it's not harder than that third way you can monetize your audience though is through private communities this is basically a private group you set up through softwares like school or patreon your viewers will then pay you to be a part of this private group usually on a monthly basis and in

exchange they get access to stuff like courses exclusive knowledge video lessons and giveaways in this case with our History Channel we could create a private Community where the members get early access to videos some kind of YouTube automation course or literally a super niched group of people very interested in history nine times out of 10 there is always a group of people that would be interested in buying the most random things like access to a private history group now the last and probably most profitable way to monetize your audience is through digital products basically a

product you create once and can sell unlimited amounts of times some examples of digital products are editing templates courses ebooks and stuff like that maybe for this channel we could create some kind of History course where we really really dive deep into a specific historical event it might be a bad product itself but I'm trying to give you the right way to think you want to create a product that meets your audience's demand something that saves them time or solves some kind of problem they have what you can do is look at the comments of

your videos and figure out what your viewers really care about that way and yeah that's the entire blueprint from start to finish on how I create monetizable faceless YouTube automation channels we've gone through everything from coming up with topics creating the actual videos thumbnail design search engine optimization and finally how to monetize your channel if you got any value from this video drop me a comment letting me know what you want to see next and of course press the Subscribe button anyways that's it for this video see you
