How to Go From 0 to $5K With YouTube Automation [Part 3]
How to create videos from scartch...
alright, today we're getting into the actual production side
how to go from an idea to a finished video using AI
this is where most people get stuck
they know what niche to pick, they know what topics go viral
but they don't know how to actually create the content
so let me break down the exact workflow my students use
the 3 things you need for every video:
a script
voiceover
and visuals (stock footage or AI images)
as a beginner you shouldn't (and you don't need to) have some crazy 3D animation or hire a $200/video editor
you should rather focus on posting consistently and getting more videos out there
once you're posting almost every day, and you're at the 5k/mo mark, then you can start thinking about making "higher" quality videos
but for now this is all you need
now before I break this down, quick reminder
we're running a black friday offer on coaching through the 28th ($1K off + special bonuses). spots are filling up faster than expected,
so if you want a coach guiding you through all of this,
alright, here's the workflow:
step 1: write the script with claude
for the first part of the production process we're going to use claude
since it writes better copy than chatgpt + can output way longer scripts without cutting off
here's how you do it:
go to a competitor's viral video (from the stuff you've created in the niche research process)
grab the transcript using a tool like: youtubetotranscript
paste it into claude
then tell claude:
"I'm creating a YouTube video for my [niche] channel. Below is a transcript from a successful video in my niche. I want you to write a NEW script on the topic [your specific topic] that follows the same style, tone, pacing, and structure as the reference transcript below"
claude will then write the script for you in just a few seconds
now I know what you might be thinking:
"isn't that plagiarism?"
no, as long as you're not copying word-for-word
claude rewrites it in its own words using the same structure
just make sure to add this to your claude instructions: "never use one-to-one copies of sentences from the reference script"
that way you're covered
step 2: turn the script into a voiceover with elevenlabs
this is even simpler
go to elevenlabs, pick a voice that fits your niche
paste in your script
(here make sure you don't actually paste the WHOLE script and generate all at once,
cuz elevenlabs isn't perfect yet, and will make some mistakes
so make sure you're always generating by chunks)
click generate
download the mp3
done
takes like 10-20 minutes (since you're doing section by section)
step 3: get your visuals from pixabay
pixabay has free stock footage for literally any niche
space videos, finance content, true crime…
literally anything you might think of
just search your keyword, download clips in 1920x1080, and you're good
same thing with background music
pixabay has free ambient tracks
step 4: put it all together in capcut
capcut is free and stupidly easy to use
upload your stock footage clips
add your voiceover
add background music (turn it down to like -20 volume so it doesn't overpower the voice)
add some simple transitions between clips
optionally add captions using capcut's auto-caption feature
export and you're done
the whole editing process takes like 30 minutes
now here's the thing:
you shouldn't be doing this yourself
once you know how it works, turn this into an SOP (standard operating procedure)
hire a VA for $5/hour on onlinejobs ph
give them the SOP
they create all your videos for you
you just strategize and quality check
that's how you scale to posting 4-6 times per week without burning out
my students who hit $5K+/month aren't sitting there editing videos
they're managing a system
and that's it for the production process…
now we have one last piece of the puzzle to cover:
monetization
tomorrow I'm showing you how to actually make money from YouTube automation using Ad revenue and also other methods, that I’m gonna share with you tomorrow…
this is how channels go from $2K/month to $10K+/month
talk soon

P.S. as a reminder, we're running a black friday discount through the 28th - $1K off + special bonuses
spots are filling up way faster than expected
you'll have a dedicated coach who guides you through all of this and even shows you which videos to make
plus we share resources like a website that gives 99% off elevenlabs (and other tools) - we're constantly doing research to find deals like this for our students
we're only taking a limited number of people since we work with everyone 1-on-1
discount ends when spots fill up or on the 28th, whichever comes first
if you're interested…
if not, that's fine too
