If you’re looking to make money online with YouTube automation, this guide is for you. As an expert in making money on YouTube, I have generated over six figures in profit and I want to point you in the right direction. In this post, I will discuss the five key things you need to know to earn your first $100 per day in profit with an automated YouTube channel.

To get started, you need to understand exactly what an automated YouTube channel is. An automated YouTube channel publishes videos without showing the creator’s face, and in some cases, without using the creator’s own voice. These channels use stock videos, images, animation and text on screen to create content, rather than an on-screen presenter. Many of these channels generate millions of views and significant revenue.

With an automated YouTube channel, you oversee and manage the channel but do not necessarily complete each part of the video creation process yourself. However, when you’re first getting started, I recommend doing some of the work yourself to understand what goes into creating a YouTube video. There are many elements involved, including:

  • Coming up with video ideas
  • Writing scripts
  • Recording and editing video
  • Adding voiceovers
  • Uploading videos
  • Optimizing SEO
  • Creating thumbnails
  • Writing titles and descriptions

As your channel grows, you can consider outsourcing some of these tasks to free up your time. But to start, do as much of the work as possible yourself to fully understand what goes into running a successful YouTube channel.

The second key thing you need to know is that you must choose a profitable niche. Some niches have much higher earning potential than others. A niche’s earning potential depends on its cost per mille or CPM rate, which is how much you earn for every 1,000 views. Some niches like money, business, and finance have CPM rates of $10-$100, while others like travel, family and lifestyle have CPM rates of just $1-$5.

When choosing a niche, consider your interests but also focus on profitability. Here are some high, medium and low CPM niches to consider:

High CPM niches:

  • Make money online
  • Cryptocurrency
  • Personal finance
  • Tech reviews

Medium CPM niches:

  • Social media
  • Stock market
  • Real estate
  • Digital marketing

Low CPM niches:

  • Travel
  • Family and lifestyle
  • Product reviews
  • Gaming

Choosing a high CPM niche gives you the best chance to generate significant revenue from your channel. Do thorough research to determine which niches are most and least profitable before you commit to a specific niche.

You also need to have a monetization plan that extends beyond YouTube AdSense. While AdSense can be unpredictable, diversifying your income sources provides more stability. Consider monetizing your channel through affiliates, selling digital products, brand deals and more. Build your monetization plan before launching your channel.

The next step is finding a successful automated channel in your target niche to model your own channel after. Study what they’re doing, how they’re monetizing their channel and what types of videos get the most views. Replicating a model that’s already working is one of the best ways to achieve success on YouTube.

Once you understand automated YouTube channels, have chosen a profitable niche and found a channel to model, you’re ready to build your own channel. Decide on a unique channel name, create an email address and channel art, and start uploading videos. Some key tools to help get started include:

  • VidIQ for keyword research, video and script ideas and YouTube SEO optimization
  • ChatGPT for script writing and video titles/descriptions
  • InVideo for turnkey video creation using stock footage and images

With the right tools and knowledge, creating an automated YouTube channel is accessible for beginners. However, it does require patience and consistent effort to grow a successful channel. Start by uploading your first video, analyze how it performs, apply what you’ve learned and improve from there. Over time, as you gain more views and subscribers, you can outsource parts of the process to scale your earnings.

While automated YouTube channels are not a “get rich quick” scheme, with hard work and persistence, you can build a highly profitable channel and change your life. I have helped many people through my free email newsletter and YouTube video tutorials get started with their own automated YouTube channels.
