Stop wasting months grinding on YouTube for pocket change. What if one YouTube Short could earn a creator over $3,000?
Yes. You read that correctly.
Creators are making serious cash from YouTube Shorts. Companies are spending more money on short videos than ever before.
The amazing part is you never need to show your face to join this opportunity.
Using AI power, you can make YouTube Shorts automatically.
This means zero filming and zero editing. You just click some buttons and upload. In this video, I will show you step by step how to do this. I will explain everything and share an amazing AI tool that will handle the entire process for us. If you wanna turn AI into your money making assistant, and honestly, who doesn't want that? Let's jump right in. Many people still believe making money with YouTube shorts is pointless. They say things like you will only earn a few cents with that. Good luck trying.
But that thinking is outdated.
Being honest, not long ago, YouTube shorts had terrible pay rates. People earned between 2 to 4¢ per thousand views. That amount was ridiculous.
Nobody wanted to work for that. But those numbers have jumped to 10 to 20¢
and keep rising. Why is this happening? Companies finally understand that people love short videos. They will pay big money to place ads on these videos. Things will get even better as YouTube keeps promoting Shorts.
These payment amounts will continue growing. More companies joining means higher competition for ad spots.
Higher competition equals more money for creators like you. Now that you understand there is real money in Shorts, let's discuss your channel foundation.
That foundation is choosing the right topic area. This is the most important step in my opinion. If you wanna build a profitable faceless YouTube channel for Shorts, your topic needs to meet certain requirements.
Those requirements are high demand, high engagement,
and no face required.
The beauty of a faceless channel means no awkward camera moments like mine. Every moment becomes awkward for me anyway.
You don't stress about lighting or makeup or getting ready. It becomes pure content creation.
Whether you feel camera shy or just don't wanna become an influencer,
I understand completely.
This method will work perfectly for you. What topics work best? You want something broad enough to attract viewers, but specific enough to reach your target audience.
Here's an important tip. Social proof matters greatly. If other people see likes and shares and comments on a video, they will more likely watch it. YouTube will keep promoting that content.
Although sometimes I find videos on TikTok that are funny videos with no views and no likes. I wonder why this appeared on my feed when it's actually funny.
We call that a mysterious discovery,
and this is your example of finding hidden gems.
But here's what you should avoid.
We don't wanna steal content from other creators.
YouTube is stopping recycled content.
We don't wanna screen record someone else's video and post it ourselves because we could get in trouble if we don't ask permission.
Instead, we will use an AI tool called Vid AI to create our content.
To summarize,
first pick a topic that works for faceless content.
Then choose something with high audience demand, meaning people will actually watch this content.
Pick something highly engaging, meaning people will like and share and comment. Avoid reused content.
Now that you know how to pick the right topic, let's start creating a short. Creating high quality YouTube shorts used to be difficult and take forever because you had to brainstorm ideas, make a script, record the video, edit the video, add captions,
maybe do voice work. We're gonna skip all of that. With just a few clicks, Vidyi will handle everything for us. We don't have to spend hours coming up with ideas like I do. I'm I'm gonna show you exactly how I would create a YouTube short using Vidyai right now. I have it open, and I'm gonna create a new project.
Here's where I can choose which type of video I want to create.
I'm gonna do a faceless short. If my topic worked for the fake tech story, I could do that, or a split screen video. I'm just going with the regular faceless short. Then I can put my title name here. I'm just going to keep the AI created title, whatever it suggests.
Something I love about Vidai is maybe I don't know which topic I want yet. Look at this. We can experiment with all these different topics and make a video in the health topic,
or science, or technology,
or travel,
or cooking, or art, or sports, or financial advice, or relationship advice.
The list goes on and on. Or let's say I knew what I wanted to create my video about. I would put a prompt right here, or maybe you have a complete script ready, you could paste that there. But if you don't wanna write a script, no pressure, you don't even have to think of a video topic if you don't want to. So or you would I want it to you first for maybe your ready pews half plate.
I think I'm gonna make my video very educational.
It could be a fun story. You could do literally anything you want with this, but I'm gonna talk about greenwashing in the beauty industry.
That is just a random topic I've been creating videos about in one of my classes.
Actually, we set up a YouTube channel, and we've been learning about it in my business class, which has been kind of fun, but I already know how to do everything. So I feel like a genius right now in that class because I'm like, yeah, I know how to improve my videos already.
This video is about greenwashing in the beauty industry. Then I get to select a narrator. I'm gonna choose the female voice. Then we get to choose a video source. I'm just gonna do natural AI created images so it looks as realistic as possible.
Sometimes these images look incredibly realistic,
or I could also do cartoon,
but I think natural makes the most sense. There are also gameplay videos like the subway surfers in Minecraft or viral videos with the soap carvings and hydraulic press, but I'm going with natural.
Then I'm gonna hit generate content.
Just like that, we have a complete script and all our images created.
This is where you can get into the customization aspect if you want. Or if you think this video is perfect, you could just hit next. But I would suggest reading through the script, making sure everything looks how you want it to look. And if you don't like one of these images, you can change it. At a quick look, all these images look pretty good. But if you wanted to change one, you could hover over here and then find that section in the script and just hit regenerate.
But I think this looks good, so I'm gonna hit next. I'm gonna hit generate and my video is done. Now I have the choice to add some music, play around with the captions, what color I want it to be, what size. I'm just gonna say everything looks good. Let's take a look at this video. Ever heard of greenwashing?
It's a sneaky practice in the beauty industry.
Brands claim to be eco friendly, but are they really? Many products use green packaging to mislead consumers.
To uncover the truth, look for certifications that ensure authenticity,
support brands that prioritize sustainability.
Real change starts with informed choices.
These images look real together. We can combat greenwashing,
choose wisely, and demand transparency from beauty brands. Together, we can create a greener future.
I like this. I'm actually gonna submit this. I was unconsciously doing my homework because this week I have to submit a YouTube short for my fake channel that I created for my class.
Unconsciously, I just did my assignment while filming a video. I'm sorry I was so boring. We could also do a more fun video too.
But that is how easy it is to create a YouTube short right now. Vidia is a complete game changer because number one, you don't have to have any experience to create a high quality and engaging short.
Two, it saves hours.
You don't have to spend any time researching or editing the shorts or finding stock photos and videos.
Three, it is ready for making money. You're not copying anybody else's content, and it is also very algorithm friendly. Now that we have our YouTube short created, something I would do is maybe create a small collection and make five videos, let's say. Then plan which days you will post those videos. Then the key to posting will be staying consistent and also studying your performance of your older videos so you can improve in the future. Posting frequently will be the key to growth here, but creating new videos can be quite tiring unless we use an AI tool.
We can create endless script ideas without getting burned out. We can create AI powered visuals, meaning we don't have to take any photos or videos. It is very easy to batch produce, which is something I would encourage you to do just to ensure you're posting frequently and consistently.
Once your shorts are live, tracking their performance is crucial.
YouTube analytics will provide lots of data that you won't want to ignore.
First, they give you your watch time and audience retention,
which just means how long are people staying on your videos.
Are they clicking off, or in this case, are they scrolling away? More likely.
YouTube studio also shows you engagement rates. So are people commenting? Are they sharing your videos? And also subscriber growth.
Which videos are bringing in more subscribers?
And this gives you a major advantage for your channel. So do not skip out on this. Now that you've got Videai creating scripts and making the videos for you, but if you upload these videos without improving them, you're missing out on views and also money.
The first thing you wanna do is make sure you're nailing the hook of your videos within about three seconds because you don't want people to scroll off your videos right away. With YouTube shorts, this is crucial. Vidi dot ai already does a really good job at creating something that will reel your viewers in. But if you think that didn't really grab me, you can also customize it. Next up, something that keeps viewers around longer in my opinion, is the use of captions, which Vidi ai already puts on the video. But a lot of the time when people are watching short videos, they're sitting in public and they don't have earbuds.
At least that's for me. I do this all the time, and I love when videos have captions because then I can watch them everywhere, and it just makes the video so much more accessible. Next up, hashtags and search engine improvement matter so much. Using relevant hashtags and keywords within your title and description will be so helpful because it ensures your video is going out to the correct audience.
Another thing you could be doing is posting at peak hours.
Timing matters. A lot of the time it can be different for every creator,
so make sure you are testing different posting times and seeing which videos at what times are getting the most views.
Generally, mornings and evenings work best because this is when people are going on their phones maybe before work or after work to relax.
Also within your videos, encourage engagement,
but do not overdo this. You don't want to become like hungry being like, you need to comment on my video. You need to subscribe. You could just say something like, comment your favorite animal. And lastly, post consistently because one short is not gonna change your life. It adds up. I would aim for at least one short a day if you are using a tool like Vidaii where it is just super easy to produce content,
or maybe five videos a week. Now with Vidai handling content creation,
another thing you could consider if you get one channel going is creating another channel.
This way, you could test different topics to see which topic really takes off and which one isn't taking off. By automating YouTube shorts production,
you free up so much of your time because then you could focus on growing multiple brands.
Lastly, I'm just gonna recap the essential steps we went over today. This will be everything you need to know. Number one is choosing a profitable topic.
This topic will balance your passion for the subject and audience demand.
Both are so important.
Next, generate engaging video ideas, whether you're using AI or you're researching your topic. Next, you're gonna use AI tools such as Vid AI to completely create your short for you. Then you're gonna edit for maximum engagement,
whether it be changing some parts of the script or maybe changing the intro to be more engaging or maybe adding some suspenseful music if it's a scary story.
Then you're gonna improve that video with your title, tags, and description, and post consistently
at peak times to boost visibility and retention.
After you post, you're gonna wanna track your performance on YouTube analytics to see what is working and what isn't working. Once you've done all that, it is time to scale your brand and maybe even create a second channel within another topic.
At the end of the day, success with YouTube Shorts comes down to a few things, consistency,
smart automation,
and strategic scaling. But with tools like Vidai doing all the heavy lifting for you and creating your content for you, you can focus on other things such as actually growing your channel, improving your videos, audience engagement, and increasing your revenue streams.
