How can I get started with YouTube automation?

[Jessie Porter]

Hey everyone,
I've been hearing about Youtube automation lately and it sounds interesting. From what I have understand, people run channels without appearing on camera, but I'm not sure how it works behind the scenes. I'm pretty new to this and trying to learn the basics.
what's the best way to start Youtube automation and what should be focused point in the beginning?

Look, 'automation' is just a fancy word for not showing your face. Most people fail because they think it’s a magic button. It’s not.
My advice? Skip the generic 'Top 10' stuff - everyone is doing it and the pay is trash. Go for niches that actually pay, like Finance or Tech. Use ChatGPT for the script, ElevenLabs for the voice, and spend almost ALL your time on the thumbnail.
If the thumbnail sucks, nobody clicks. If nobody clicks, you don't get paid. Just commit to 30 videos and don't even check your stats until then. Most guys quit after 5 videos - don't be that guy.

If I keep it simple, YouTube automation isn’t some magic thing it’s just running a channel without showing your face by using a system. At the start, don’t focus on automation, focus on understanding the process: pick a niche, make a few simple videos, and see what works. Once you figure out what content actually performs, then you can start outsourcing things like editing, voiceovers, or scripts. The main thing early on is making videos people actually watch and learning what your audience responds to.

start with a simple niche and focus on scripting first, then use basic editing and voiceover tools, consistency matters more than fancy automation at the start, what niche are you thinking of?

 

[Starblazer]

Find a well paying niche that doesn't require you to show your face on camera. Note down the essentials like script, thumbnail, voice over, video clip (royalty free videos, AI generated content, animation, etc.), meta data, etc. and decide how you want to generate them. There are tools for each of them like chatgpt for script, Canva for thumbnail, elevenlabs for voice over, veo 3 for video clips, etc. Once you figure out these things and content with the results, you can launch your channel.

Hi) First, sturdy niches and pick a high-cpm niche (finance, health, etc.). then post consistently and test format in batches. Focus on audience behaviour then scale. YT now loves session time, retention and returning views. IF needed, carefully use promotion services to support early growth.

Be careful a lot of faceless channels are getting hit hard with demonetization.

Start by choosing a niche, researching viral topics, and creating simple faceless videos. Focus on script quality, engaging thumbnails, consistency, and basic SEO. Outsource editing later once you understand the workflow.

Start with a simple niche focus on quality content and consistency then slowly automate parts like voiceover and editing

[EthanRanks]

Start with one niche and focus on simple, consistent content first. Learn the basics of scripting, voiceover, editing and thumbnails before trying to scale. Quality and consistency usually matter more than automation in the beginning.

Define a clear niche and audience
Create a content plan (topics + posting schedule)
Set up a system for scripts, voiceovers and video editing
Focus on high-quality thumbnails and SEO (titles, keywords)
Monitor performance and improve accordingly

Youtube automation/ cashcow channels etc are the channels your describing where creators create content based on various topics/niches without showing their face, its a great source of passive income, however important thing that many miss is that, until the channel hits the passive income point, you have to keep working on it, which means consistent uploads, reviewing analytics and keeping up with trends and etc. You can either go through the hassle of researching and experimenting or you can hire a team that will do the entire job for you. The team will take care of scripts, voice overs, video editing and etc, basically full production.

Some of the niches we would recommend is-

***Easy to start with niches:-

- Tech niche (inventions, machinery and more)- RPM is super high, ranging from $6-$20, even if you do get low views, the videos will make a very good income for you.
- Entertainment niche (celebrity critique channels, gossips etc)- RPM is low, ranging from $0.8-$5, although the rpm may seem low, this niche gets a lot of views ( since the general public like to watch entertaining content)

***Complex to start, but very rewarding niches

- Documentary niche(War, geo-politics, politics etc)- RPM is very high in this as wel, ranging from $6-20+- this ncihe is always trending and very educational, youtube prefer these kind of channels a lot.
- 3d animation niche- (channels like fern, you can cover any topics)- RPM is very high in this- ranging from $6-25
- Music channels- Highest rpm- $8-30, however this niche takes a lot of time to blow up, like 6 months - 1 year of consistent uploads and etc.

Hope this helps. Goodluck with your journey.

It is better to start simple and not overcomplicate the automation part in the beginning. Learning how make one good video first helps more than trying to scale early. Once you understand the process, automation becomes easier to manage.

 

[StackNimbus]

Best way to start is to keep it simple and not overthink the “automation” part at first.


Pick a niche you’re interested in, study what type of videos are already working, and try to replicate the format (script, visuals, pacing). Focus on consistent uploads and decent quality first.


Once you understand what gets views, then you can start automating parts like scripting, voiceovers, or editing step by step.

 

[kroos21]

pick a niche first then find viral video ideas hire script voice and editor or use tools upload consistently and focus on retention and titles that click fast

 

[Lisans Ofisi]

Firstly dont copy a channel idea. Create your own niche channel. Then use ideogram or nano banana pro for creating photos. And use ve3 to create videos.

 

[UmbraQuest]

Start simple, pick one niche and focus on making decent videos consistently. Don’t over automate at start, learn what type of content gets views first, then slowly scale.
