Interesting case study
Have you tried drag & drop oriented editors like Doodly?

Don't do stock footage they say...
Don't do text-to-speech videos they say...
Don't do this and this...

ENOUGH!

Each time I hear someone telling me it's not possible or not worth it to try - it's only Their OPINION. If You failed for any reason - don't say it's impossible.
Many people saying it's saturated, it's not worth it, it's not working, etc.( for any business model like eBay dropshipping, Shopify, Amazon etc)

Today I will share details of my Youtube channel which I have been working with VIDNAMI ( no longer available) and text to speech software.

Things worth mentioning:
1. 151 videos Uploaded each 2-8 minutes long.
2. it took me 2 weeks full-time job doing it.
3. Made it purely for testing purposes, just to see details of the niche I am going to make decent videos.
4. Never seen any of my videos - totally trusted software I've been using.
5. Will not reveal channel name or niche.

If you are going to ask me does it worth doing the same? - it's up to You. I'm repeating myself, done it for testing purposes, but the results shocked me.

My start was slow. Didn't got any traffic or impressions. but after 2-3 months I started getting views.
The image you are seeing now below is right after 8 months of the channel start.
Have not tried to make it good.
didn't check any scenes software made it.
didn't check anything or responded to comments, I was just doing it.

Now monthly income $200-$300 but I am wondering if this could go to 80k views a month - this might go to 1M too, if I would do proper work, select scenes, and make decent intros...

Not doing it, because it's risky and I don't see the future of this kind of video making. It's better to make with CANVA or simply video with adobe premier.

Done this to collect info such as:

• Impressions
• CTR
• RPM
• Search term people are finding these videos.

Impression and Youtube recommending content percentage. (1 MONTH)
From views and unique viewers you can understand I have returning viewers also.

YOU WILL NEVER KNOW IF YOU DON'T TRY

So don't listen to anyone telling things are not working and try do things by yourself. if you fail after 3-10 videos and assume it's not working - don't comment, share this information BECAUSE IT'S NOT WORKING FOR YOU. youtube works and will work in the future, just find a niche and start your job.

IMAGINE HOW MANY VIEWS I WOULD GET WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF DECENT QUALITY VIDEOS IF THIS NICHE ARE SO GOOD?

There are tons of niches on Youtube that are just... NO COMPETITION at all however, like in every market, it's better to step into already running niche and MAKE IT EVEN better.

Would you recommend TTS channel with stock footage versus voice over with stock footage?

Any examples of these TTS channels (not your channel)

Canva is pretty decent with it's animation and effects, but make sure your video also included moving objects and not just speaking about 1 slide for 30 seconds, youtube DO NOT likes it.

I would recommend voice-over with stock footage + CANVA or major edits.. screenshots, etc.

here is few samples of what other people are doing with TTS:

Wow, I wonder how much money are they making. I'm looking to build more passive income streams and this looks like a great one - maybe just make one upload per day and it can generate $200-300 per month.

Any tips on selecting a good niche?

Nice method! Why did you stop? Once you started getting views and earnings you could have made more videos, imagine the earnings if you had 500 videos.

Looks like your average view duration is amazing for text to speech videos!

Hunows said:

they make how much they need to make. It's satisfying to see other results and wonder how much they earn, but it no how impacts your results.

THIS IS NOT A PASSIVE INCOME STREAM. It's risky and made for testing purposes. You can do the same, but don't put every working hour into this. Analyze the market and start decent channel about the topic that you succeed with TTS and stock footage.

I stopped because at the same time I'm building a decent quality channel on the same niche, with the same topics and great edits. Not worth investing time in this, as I only did this to check the market.

It is passive in the sense that old videos make money too.

I tried speed help and overall i found it pretty bad. I felt it needed a LOT of hours just to make the voice over sound more natural and adjust the inflection, which sounds still robotic to me.

But i admit I'm not a great audio editor.

How did you improve the voiceovers exactly?

try speechelo + bakground music.You can improve with voice filters on adobe premier. I don't know how it calls correctly, I will have to ask my editor.

I don't believe in passive income.

As far as I know pictory did a great job copying Vidnami - but I have not tried it, it's just a rumor.

Im focusing more now on decent content and if there's anything in the market like vidnami, perhaps I would launch even more channels.
