post was great and then you just made it even better. Thank you BHW for sharing so many cool tips!Nice share.
You can even get it done cheaper and faster with Amazon Transcribe. You just have to extract the audio from the video (there are a ton of tools out there to do this). The costs are 0,0004 cent per second, so for a 26 minute video you will just pay 62 cents. The quality of is really - really good. You also get 60 minutes a month free for a year.
Hello guys,
I want to share a method I used with success in the past to get good quality text content from videos, very easily and for a little price. There are countless possibilities to monetize it and it's just about your imagination.
I don't use this stuff anymore so I am willing to share to Bhw, as I learn almost everything I know here.
Step 1:
Find relevant videos in your niche that include someone talking. Just focus on the audio of the video, the best is someone who talks relatively fast because you will pay depending on video length and not how much words the guy said.
Step 2:
Find someone that transcript audio/video to text for a good price. I personally used Fiverr, and the usual price I paid was 5$ for 15-20min of video transcription.
This is one of the most important, you may need some test to find good transcriptor.
Step 3:
Publish & Share the text transcription as you want. This is the part where you just need to be creative to monetize and where there are endless possibilities.
Case-study
My personal twist was to use the transcriptor to have the text of celebrities interview. I use this text transcription to add subtitles to my video (I re-upload the interviews) + content on my website.
I will take an example of a 25 minutes Bob Marley's interview, that was my biggest success with this method. The video has now been removed but I totally made 1.5M views & 1.5k€ for this video itself + 250$ from Adsense website.
I know my videos earning are not fully related to the subtitles from text transcription, but still, you will see how ridiculous was the price I pay for.
I have a screenshot from 1.5y ago just to show you the stats of the video:

I pay 5$ for the 25min transcription, here's capture from Fiverr:
![]()
I then receive the full transcription that contains 8k words... For 5$, that's 0.31$/500 words!
So you get the idea, instead of asking for text content directly, you ask for video text transcription. You can create a website related to your Youtube Channel, transcript each of your videos and make articles.
Share your ideas on how to monetize this method and add your own twist![]()

This is a gold mine!This might also come in handy, scrape subtitles from a youtube video:

Seconded, someone please..Hi.
What about copyright? any issue with this?
Every day YT is more paranoic with this and I don't know how this you propose can be even monetized.
https://contentbear.co can do this for free.
Its owned by me, and there is a thread here. There is no need to pay someone for this. It supports all the languages that youtube supports, so you can pull so many unique versions of a CC if you get it in X language than swap it back to English
Exactly, there is no way to pull videos with no CC, THERE IS, but ill get the tool banned which is not an option.Your software is pure gold, the only problem with it is it doesnt work on videos which dont have CC. OP method is better for those kinda videos.
That's a nice tool but I am not sure if the scraped subtitles are fully unique in the eye of Google, do you have feedback for this?
I used the method on a blog of mine, edited the text partially (10%) as the text has some mistakes and it comes out as 100% unique.I read that google and youtube are indexing youtube subtitles. So those subtitles will not be unique, but I'm not sure.

It works for now, maybe they are planning on indexing the subtitles in the future.
