Growing youtube channel from 0 to 10k subscribers

I wanted to make a journey of this.

The main idea here is to motivate me, in the first place to be persistent.
After that to motivate you if I succeed with your help. I hope you will learn a lot if you decide to take the same step.

Another reason is that i don't have experience in youtube algorithm. I just know the basics and I have an idea that I think might work.

Goal: Make viral short videos and later start with longer format videos when I get some attention because I think it's much easier to reach an audience with "vertical" videos.

Tools: Because of my regular job, i want to spend as much as i can time on this so i decided to use AI in every aspect of production. I don't want to show my face also.

Picking niche: I want to pick some good potential niches for viral videos, to be easy to make and that can be monetized on other types of earnings (affiliate, CPA...), besides Adsense.

Question for you:
Can it be monetized with AI voice?
Can it be monetized with stock images and videos? What are alternatives if i don't want to show myself?
Can i get in trouble with copyright if i use TikTok videos?

If anyone has tried something similar and has experience, feel free to share it with us if you want.

Ask a mod to move this to journey section.

You cannot monetize with AI voice.

Stop spreading false info.

Yes you can monetize.
AI voice must be high quality. Dont use cheap/free robotic voices.

And content of video must be helpful and unique. Then no problem for YT.
If you spam with copied content then you wont get monetized. You must make unique helpful content that engages people.

You make a channel with AI voice and apply. You will know reality. If somehow approved also, no one is watching these stupid videos.

My plan is to make my own whit mostly stock videos. I use high-quality paid AI voice. You can hardly even notice that it is AI.

I would put in as much value as possible so these videos will not be "stupid". For short format videos, the point is to get attention.

I will write here as it progresses. I already pick a niche and i made one video. Thanks for the answers.

Good luck in your journey mate.

How much views the first video got?

Quick update:

Day 3 morning:
The first problem was that I'm coming from a low-cost CPM country, so i wanted to find a way how to target tier-one countries.
I tried this before and i never got the audience that i wanted. But finally, after some more serious research, i finally managed to target USA audience.

The idea is to make my own videos and upload them on TikTok, Instagram and Youtube Shorts.

TikTok:

Nu. of videos: 4

I noticed something interesting. All my videos reach a certain number of views and suddenly stop, and the number is always the same.
So when i post a video, in first one hour i got 800 views and after that, for 2 days i god additional 50 views.
After that i saw that is the TikTok strategy to make your first videos viral and see audience reaction, so they can say is my video or in general profile have value to push more by algorithm.

Youtube shorts:

Nu. of videos: 2
It's the same situation whit views. But instead of 800 views, i got around 190 views on both videos.

After some research, i saw that people saying that shorts killing their long videos.
My goal was to make short videos to get subscribers and attention faster and then transfer them to long videos. Because you can't earn that much from shorts. My goal is long videos at the end.

Question for you:
Does someone have experience with shorts and long videos and the relation between those two? Are shorts really killing your growth for long videos and in general channel?

Instagram:

Nu. of videos: 1
Instagram was different. Unlike tiktok and youtube for the first few hours I had 0 views and then I got a pump of several hundred.
With Youtube and TitKtok, pump was after a few minutes, sometimes instant...


I will keep you updated. Thanks all
