So, our eyes on this forum are exposed to an infinite amount of methods and ideas for making money. Our problem is to sin by excess rather than by lack, daily we read new methods and end up forgetting the initial focus because we supposedly found something more promising.

The result is that many never manage to decide, create a lot of temporary plans that will be abandoned after a few days or at the first barriers. Motivation is also likely to be lacking if you don't feel confident enough in your method.

There is also a consensus that it would be wrong to "put all your eggs in one basket", because that way you would be fucked if your plan fails. This kind of situation is normal, the vast majority of people only go to one university, or only have one job, few people can afford to have multiple sources of income pouring money into their pockets. And most here don't even have a steady source of income, so why try to spread your concentration among a bunch of methods?

Even if you divide your daily attention and dedication between 2 or 3 methods, few people have the ability, skill, time and knowledge to stand out in all of them at the same time and in equal proportions. There will always be one basket that deserves more eggs.

With this in mind, I decided to change. My biggest problem is overthinking and not taking any concrete action in one direction without looking back and thinking about going back to the starting point because there is supposedly a shortcut that will get me to the destination faster.

So I will create this journey as motivation and an attempt to prove the power of consistency. I will only focus on one path, the rest of methods don't exist, they are just other alternative paths that lead to the same final destination, I don't need to try to sabotage my previous choice to get to the end and I need to stop doing that.

I particularly chose Youtube. My plan is to create a faceless channel with the help of AI tools. I will use tools to generate good quality voiceover, to generate the script, to automatically create subtitles and whatever else is needed. I don't want to reveal my niche, I will do this in my country, where there is less competition and I have more intimacy with my own language. I have identified a sub-niche that we can generally call the education and learning niche, without further details.

Youtube seems to me a challenge for consistent people, in the first months it is normal to have no views or to have strong oscillations, so I can't allow myself to give up because of slow performance. I need to upload videos frequently and keep doing this for several months if I want to show Youtube that I am no longer a guy with limited motivation.

I haven't created the channel yet, I am looking for the best AI tools I will need to generate all the elements of the videos, but I am already planning everything and will soon be updating the journey with more details.

It will probably be something more interesting for personal motivation and to come here every day, starting when my channel is active, to show myself that I have done my part today. If you are interested in the Youtube faceless channel niche, maybe following the journey will be interesting.
 
I do sometimes feel the same. Prob most of us here too. Gotta pick one way and grind till last blood last sweat.

I think youd be better make it as HQ as possible
Best of luck OP!
 
UPDATE 001

✅ Youtube channel created, with profile picture and banner.
✅ I have created pages on TikTok, Kwai and Instagram, too.
✅ I have already created 2 stories/shorts/reels to practice. In my case, the shorts will be a miniature of what the longer videos will be, I'm using basically the same AI tools, so it's useful for training in addition to gaining initial traction.

⚡ Instagram: 0 views / 0 followers / 0 likes / 0 comments (shadowban?)
⚡ Kwai: 560 views / 2 followers / 17 likes / 0 comments
⚡ TikTok: 783 views / 3 followers / 30 likes / 10 comments
⚡ Youtube: 53 views / 0 subscribers / 2 likes / 0 comments

The videos were posted two hours ago, so really the results are not conclusive yet. I don't know why, but in my (little) personal experience, my shorts (in youtube) start getting more views 24 hours after being posted.

I thought about creating accounts with a name that has a lot of keyword searches (exact-match), but I haven't found any domains with good metrics. I preferred to create a new brandable one. In the future I will buy the .com domain

For the next two or three days I plan to create shorts/reels and warm up my skills and my accounts on the different social media. I believe that next week I will create my first long video to post it on Youtube.

So far using:

⭐ GPT Chat: to create everything that will be talked about in the videos, not precisely a script.

⭐ Leonardo AI: free option to generate illustrative images

⭐ D-ID: good for creating talking characters and that can be funny/engaging on social networks

⭐ Eleven Labs: inexpensive option to generate voices in different languages.

In the future I will incorporate two more AI's.
 
UPDATE 002

I have posted 9 videos in 3 days. All are shorts/reels/stories, still trying to find the way to create viral videos.

⚡ Instagram: 19 views / 0 followers / 1 likes / 0 comments (shadowban?)
⚡ Kwai: 4908 views / 17 followers / 157 likes / 0 comments
⚡ TikTok: 2227 views / 5 followers / 73 likes / 21 comments
⚡ Youtube: 845 views / 2 subscribers / 24 likes / 0 comments

I plan to create my first long video to post on my YouTube channel starting tomorrow.

Anyway, I want to keep posting stories/reels/shorts every day to attract more eyeballs to my pages and improve my video editing skills to understand what my audience is looking for.
 
UPDATE 003

14 videos posted:

⚡ Instagram: 49 views / 1 followers / 3 likes / 0 comments
⚡ Kwai: 8041 views / 27 followers / 250 likes / 0 comments
⚡ TikTok: 3107 views / 9 followers / 100 likes / 27 comments
⚡ Youtube: 876 views / 2 subscribers / 24 likes / 0 comments

Some important information:

• Instagram is delivering my videos, however, at a very, very slow pace. I don't know if it's shadowban, but I finally got a following and a bunch of views.

• Kwai is the social media network that has been bringing me the best results, however, there seems to be a barrier. All the videos have basically 590 views. None have made it past 600 views.

• My last 5 shorts on YouTube have 0 views, I suspect a shadowban.

I will observe Youtube's behavior in the next hours, if there are no more views, I will delete this channel and create another one, basically the same, but some shorts will need to be more conservative, it seems that Youtube can be very sensitive to controversial themes or images, nothing that hurts their policies but, I already noticed a behavior of 0 or 1 view for videos with female characters with cleavage, for example. Yes, cartoons, not real women. Nor am I posting hentai or anything sexualized, we are talking about a discreet cleavage, but anyway...

I have already created a long video, 7 minutes long. I will study if I should post it on this channel or if I will create another one.
