The creator, Eric Alanis, compares five popular business models—dropshipping, AI agencies, crypto trading, personal branding, and YouTube automation—and argues that YouTube automation is the most sustainable and scalable option for 2025. He provides a step-by-step process for finding a profitable niche, creating content with AI, and scaling a network of channels, backed by his own success stories and revenue figures. ### Key Points - **Introduction and Promise** [00:01] — The video claims to be the best guide on YouTube for making money online, promising that applying the teachings will make it impossible not to earn money from home. The creator, Eric Alanis, shares his background of starting with no advantages and his goal of financial freedom. - **No Easy Money** [01:08] — Eric emphasizes that there is no easy or quick way to make money, but there are smarter and more profitable approaches. He introduces the concept of 'being in the right boat' rather than just rowing harder. - **Business Model Comparison Criteria** [01:38] — He introduces five criteria for comparing business models: capital required, scalability, sustainability (evergreen), risk, and difficulty. These criteria are used to evaluate dropshipping, AI agencies, crypto trading, personal branding, and YouTube automation. - **Dropshipping Analysis** [01:52] — Dropshipping is described as high risk, high difficulty, and zero durability. Problems include finding winning products, dependency on suppliers, shipping issues, and the constant need to chase trends. It is not a stable long-term model. - **AI Agencies Analysis** [05:00] — AI agencies have potential but face challenges: rapid technological changes, credibility issues for newcomers, and increasing competition. Scalability is limited by the speed of change, and it is not an evergreen model. - **Crypto and Trading Analysis** [09:10] — Crypto and trading are high risk, high difficulty, and zero stability. Most people lose money due to emotional decisions and lack of discipline. It is cyclical and not a reliable source of income. - **Personal Branding Analysis** [12:34] — Personal branding is evergreen and profitable but requires time, consistency, and public exposure. It is not suitable for beginners without a skill or results to share. The creator shares his own failed attempt at personal branding. - **YouTube Automation Introduction** [16:28] — YouTube automation is presented as the best model: it allows earning €2,000 net in the second month, requires no face or charisma, and leverages AI for content creation. It is scalable, evergreen, and low risk. - **YouTube Automation Explained** [17:10] — Faceless channels focus on content: well-structured scripts, voiceovers (delegated or AI), and attractive thumbnails. Each video is a digital asset that can generate income for months or years. - **Scalability and Evergreen Nature** [18:02] — YouTube automation is scalable and evergreen because content never truly dies. Evergreen topics like personal finance and psychology have long-term demand. YouTube rewards consistency and long-term value. - **YouTube Not Saturated** [18:57] — YouTube is not saturated; new formats and opportunities emerge daily. AI allows faster and cheaper content creation. Statistics: 2.053 billion monthly active users, $36 billion ad revenue in 2024, and creator economy valued at €190 billion in 2025. - **YouTube Studio Walkthrough** [20:45] — Eric shows the YouTube Studio interface, explaining sections like dashboard, content, analytics, comments, subtitles, copyright, monetization, customization, audio library, and settings. He emphasizes focusing on the analytics section. - **Evergreen vs Trending Channels** [22:51] — He contrasts evergreen channels (long-term content) with trending channels (news-based). He shares a trending channel that earned €18,100 in a year, and another that reached €2,000 per month in the second month of monetization. - **Step-by-Step with Gerard** [25:01] — Eric brings Gerard, a beginner, to demonstrate the exact process. The first step is choosing a niche, which accounts for 90% of results. A niche is the topic of the channel. - **Characteristics of a Potential Niche** [26:39] — Key characteristics: low competition (blue ocean), low barriers to entry (easy to script, voice, edit), and long videos (more ad slots). He advises taking ideas from English channels and adapting them to other markets. - **Finding Potential Niches** [33:27] — Use keywords from ChatGPT to search on YouTube in incognito mode. Look for channels with more views than subscribers (potential ideas). Use filters for videos 4-20 minutes long to identify automated channels. - **Example of a Potential Niche** [40:10] — He shows a dinosaur channel with 20,000 subscribers and videos with 1 million views, indicating high demand and low competition. This is a potential niche because it has no shorts and no competition. - **Content Creation with AI** [41:58] — He explains two ways: hiring a team (scriptwriter, narrator, editor, thumbnail artist) or using AI tools like ChatGPT for scripts, ElevenLabs for voiceovers, and Bing Image Creator for thumbnails. He demonstrates creating a thumbnail with ChatGPT. - **Channel Metrics** [47:17] — Key metrics: impressions, click-through rate (CTR), and average watch time. A good CTR depends on the channel type; trending channels need higher CTR. He shows a channel with 5.3 CTR and 35,000 views. - **Scaling the Network** [49:04] — The trick to scaling is to create multiple channels to avoid dependence on one. He has 12-15 channels running. AI allows a small team to manage many channels. He emphasizes that this is a long-term business model. - **Market Profitability** [51:19] — European markets have similar RPM (revenue per 1000 views), but the US market is more profitable. RPM varies by niche and channel, not by market. He advises choosing markets with less competition. - **Call to Action** [52:56] — He offers a free consultation call and promotes his academy, '1 of 10 Academy', claiming to have helped students earn over €3,000 per month. He lists success stories and directs viewers to the description link. ### Conclusion YouTube automation, when executed correctly, offers a scalable and sustainable path to online income, especially with the aid of AI. The key is to focus on evergreen niches, create long-form content, and scale by building a portfolio of channels rather than relying on a single one. ## Transcript best guide you'll find on YouTube about how to make money online. if you apply everything I'm going to teach you, it will be impossible for you not to earn money online from home. I'm going to talk to you about the right way to start, many mistakes people make, how to choose a business model correctly, and the step-by-step process with the same business model that has generated over €100,000 in revenue for me in the last 365 days. Best of all, I'm this whole process with artificial intelligence, as it will be much easier for you. If you don't know me, I'm Eric Alanis, and I didn't start with better resources than you, and I'm not smarter than you. I started 2 years ago while I was studying something I didn't like at all and also working something I didn't like either. And my goal was the same as yours: to be able to do whatever I want without having to worry, without having to bank account, to be able to work from anywhere in the world and to have much more time to invest in what I wanted. So if you also want to achieve the same, this is your video. And I'm so convinced that if you leave this video, you're missing a great opportunity. I want to start with something very clear. There is no way to make money easily or quickly. There is no way to get rich without effort, but the truth is that there is smarter, faster, and much more profitable than all the others. And that's rowing harder, it's about being in the right boat. First of all, I want to show you exactly which is the best vehicle that works best in 2025 to comparing the five most popular business models today with five very simple criteria. How much capital do you need to get started? How scalable is it? How sustainable is that business model in the long term? What risks are involved? And what real difficulty does it have? The first business model we're going to analyze is probably the best known: dropshipping. On paper it seems almost magical. You open an online store, choose a trendy product someone buys it, the supplier takes care of sending it directly to the customer. You don't see the product, you don't have to manage stock, and in theory everything works on autopilot. Easy, right? The reality is quite different. Finding a truly winning product is like looking for a needle in a haystack. To find it, you need to invest hundreds or thousands of euros in advertising, try creatives over and over again, and basically burn money until one of those products takes off. And in this process, most n't have the risk tolerance or the money to withstand so many failed attempts. Let's suppose you're lucky and find a product that works for you. completely dependent on your supplier. And this is where the problems begin. Endless shipping times, many products arriving damaged, customers complaining about advertising accounts that ban you. In other words, even if you have sales, you don't control the important part: the customer experience. And when this fails, your entire business collapses. Now let's talk about scalability. Yes, in theory you can find a winning product and sell it en masse, but there's a catch: dropshipping products are rarely durable. They are passing fads that you can sell today, but weeks later they cease to be of interest. That lack of bergreen turns the business into a constant race against time. You sell a product today, it dies tomorrow, and you have to start all over again, doing the same process. Look for another product, set up another store, try another campaign. It's like living in an infinite loop that never ends. As for the risk, it's high; you're investing in advertising with no guarantee of return. You depend on external factors that you yourself do not customer trust because you know that you are not building a long-term brand, just selling generic products. And finally, the difficulty. Many people believe that dropshipping is easy because you can create your own store in an afternoon, but the difficult part is not creating that store, the difficult part is finding a good product, creating ads that work, and getting a customer who does n't know you at all to take out their card and buy from you. This requires a lot of knowledge in marketing, copywriting, data analytics, and above all, patience to deal with the number of failures before finding something that dropshipping is sold as a shortcut to making quick money, the truth is that it is a business model with high risk, high difficulty and zero durability. It might work in the short term if you have capital and luck, but it's very unlikely to give you a stable and I remember that one of my best friends started with this business model and quickly, but due to suppliers and shipping issues, he ended up losing to the business model I'm going to talk about at the end of this section. Let's move on to the next business model, and it's one of the most popular today: artificial intelligence agencies. Another business model that seems to be on everyone's lips today is that of artificial intelligence agencies. And the idea is brilliant in theory. Thousands of companies know that AI can save them a lot of time, reduce costs, or even significantly increase their sales, but most have no idea how to apply it to their business. And that's where you come in, applying practical solutions and charging for being the bridge between technology and business. It really does sound spectacular, doesn't it? And in some cases it is. With an artificial intelligence agency you can offer services such as automating repetitive tasks with tools like Zapier, creating chatbots that serve customers 24/7, integrating GPT chat assistants into websites, or even automatically generating content for are all real problems that all companies want to solve, and that's why they are willing to pay high fees, from €500 to €5,000 per client, But here's the other side of the coin. The first disadvantage is that artificial intelligence is advancing at a brutal speed. What works today may be obsolete tomorrow. A tool changes its policies or a more powerful alternative emerges, causing your service to lose value overnight. If you're not willing to constantly learn and reinvent yourself every few months, you're literally dead. Second, credibility. Companies want to see real results, concrete success stories . And if you're just starting out, it's normal that you don't have anything to show. This means that at the beginning it will be very difficult for you to close large clients and you will probably have to work for free or charge very low fees in order to build a large portfolio. The third problem is competition. As this business model has become fashionable, more and more people are launching so-called AI agencies, and the reality is that these people have no real experience. And then the result is that many customers have already been deceived, they have already encountered someone who promised them too much and actually delivered very little. This creates a lot of distrust in the market and forces you to differentiate yourself much more to really demonstrate that you know what you're no one knows about is expectation management. People think that artificial intelligence is magic and that with a couple of proms or a couple of chatbots, problems disappear. But the reality is that it is. Artificial intelligence has limitations. All you're going to achieve is a frustrated customer and a damaged reputation. Now let's talk about scalability. Yes, obviously it's a business model that is very scalable because once you master a process you can duplicate it in many other companies and even build a technical team to work with you. But real scalability depends on one thing you can't control: the speed of technological change. Every 6 months the market completely changes direction and what you scale today may not be in demand tomorrow. And this is where the most important criterion comes in: durability or evergreen. An artificial intelligence agency in 2025 may sound like literally the opportunity of the century, but it is a model because we are not talking about a stable market like personal finance or markets will always have demand, but it's not just a wave that everyone is surfing at the same time. And when something becomes fashionable, you know what happens: competition increases, margins decrease, and only a few survive. It's like investing in cryptocurrencies when there's a lot of hype. You shop and arrive when everything is already expensive. In summary, AI agencies are a model with great potential for revenue and prestige, but also with high difficulty and high risk. It can make you good money in the short term if you move quickly, but it's not predictable vehicle you're looking for when you want to build a business that generates income for years. One of the most striking models, and one that people continue to try year after year, is cryptocurrencies and trading. And it makes perfect sense. Who wouldn't be attracted to multiplying their own money from home, from the sofa, with just two clicks on the computer? It's everyone's dream. You turn 1000 into 10,000, 100,000 and suddenly you don't reality is nothing like that fantasy. Most people who enter the crypto model do so because of emotions and societal hype. They see people on TikTok or YouTube multiplying their money and becoming millionaires, and they feel like they're being left behind and they enter the model without happens next? They buy at high prices, and that's when the market crashes . Just when everyone is talking about an asset and selling it cheap, that's when the market crashes and that's where all those stories of frustration are born. Trading cryptocurrencies, stocks, or currencies is not as easy as it seems. It's not simply a matter of analyzing graphs and seeing if it goes up or down. It depends on years of study, discipline, and emotional tolerance to endure losses. Without making impulsive decisions, because you will lose, and you will lose many more times than you win, especially at the beginning. And I'm telling you this because I started trading myself and lost more than €3,000 at a time when I couldn't afford to. Now let's talk about scalability. In theory, you can make a lot of money if you have a lot of capital and know what you're doing. Most people start with €500 or €1,000 expecting miraculous results, and all they manage to do is burn through that account in a matter of days or weeks. And what about risk? The risk is the highest of all existing business models. You have no control over the market; you depend on external factors, global news, regulations, and, in the case of cryptocurrencies, on wild volatility that can cause an asset to plummet by 50% in a matter of days. If your goal is to build a stable income, this is the opposite path. In terms of difficulty, many think that simply finding internet strategies is enough. The truth is that becoming a profitable trader is just as demanding as becoming a professional athlete. It requires daily practice, emotional control, a deep understanding of macroeconomics, technical analysis, and risk management. Very few manage to maintain consistent profits in the long term. And now we come to the most important point, durability or evergreen. Cryptocurrencies are cyclical. Every few years there's a bull run, an incredible rise, but a few months later there's an incredible crash. That means you can make a lot of money in short periods, but it's not a bergreen business model. It's not something you can scale and predictably maintain over many years. It's pure speculation. And if you're not willing to live with this emotional rollercoaster, you'll most likely end up losing more than you gain. In summary, cryptocurrencies and trading are make money in the short term, but also with extremely high risk, very high difficulty, and zero stability. It might give you a lucky streak if you enter at the right time, but as a vehicle for building real financial freedom, it's one of the worst out there . I would use it much later to diversify part of your capital, but not right at the moment you start. Another model that has been making waves in recent years and will undoubtedly continue to grow in 2025 is the personal brand. And I want you to understand something: we 're not just talking about being an influencer and uploading photos to Instagram, but about building a digital identity around all your knowledge, your story, and your way of communicating. The idea is simple: you become a reference in a specific subject. It could be finance, fitness, personal development, productivity, anything. Around all that authority income, whether it's sponsorships, collaborations, mentoring, courses, and there's an endless list. The great advantage of this business model is that everything adds up. Every video you upload, every email you send, every post you publish, not only attracts an audience, but ultimately builds trust. And trust on the internet is the most valuable currency. That's why businesses with a personal brand are the most profitable. People don't pay for the product, they pay for the transformation they experience with you. In addition to all this, it is a highly audience, you can monetize it in many ways. For example, a follower can buy your course, join your community, and also use an affiliate link to use a tool, and all of that multiplies much more when your audience grows. However, there are also disadvantages. The first and most obvious reason is that it requires a lot of time and a lot of consistency. A personal brand is not built in 2 weeks, 3 weeks, or a month. It is built by publishing, sharing, and contributing a great deal of value, but as I said, not of years. And the biggest problem with all of this is that since people don't see results in a short time, most of them give up. The second problem is your public exposure. When you put your face and name on social media, you not only gain that recognition, but you also receive criticism, negative comments, haters, and pressure to maintain that public image. And I'm warning you, not everyone is prepared to maintain that. Another challenge is the dependence on your own figure. If you are the brand, it can be very difficult to delegate and very difficult to disconnect, because people expect to see you, hear your voice, and see how you communicate. And that means that if you ever want to disappear completely, your business is going to plummet. And what about have a very strong point. Personal branding is ultra-green because ultimately, you are the asset. No one else can communicating, your personality. Personal branding can be an incredible vehicle. But I want to be very honest with you, it's not for everyone at any time. Because? Because a personal brand only has strength if there is something real and good to contribute behind that brand . And this is where most people crash. They open a channel, launch their own personal brand, start creating content, and within weeks they realize that nobody is watching them, because they have neither the experience, nor the results, nor a good story to tell. They have no real value. I'm telling you this because I went through it myself. Two years ago I decided to start my personal brand and I wanted to share, I wanted to teach, I wanted to have my own audience, but the truth is that at that time I had nothing solid to contribute, no deep knowledge, no results, nothing that could add value to people. And I ended up abandoning it because when you don't have those foundations, when all you share are motivational phrases or other people's speeches , sooner or later you realize that you're not building anything authentic. Today, however, the situation is different. After having gone through a lot of experience, made many mistakes, tested business models, billed and learned what really works. Now I finally have something to wear. Now, my personal brand has a real point of view backed by facts and results, not just intentions. And this is a key point that I want you to understand. If you don't have a skill, some experience, or some results, let me tell you that personal branding isn't the best option. Okay, now that we've cleared all this up, let's talk about the business model that has allowed me to be free, that allowed me to earn €2,000 the second month I started, and I'm talking about €2,000 net, not €2,000 in revenue. What has allowed Aida to generate more than €3000 per month while What has allowed AES to generate more than €10,000 per month? And I remember that he increasingly using artificial intelligence to work for us, and that allows us to have every day our academy receives messages from people who are already making money or are about to do so. I'm talking about YouTube automation with artificial intelligence. You do n't need to show your face, you don't need to be an influencer, and you don't need to have charisma in front of the camera. YouTube automation is based on creating faceless channels , where what matters is the content, well-structured scripts, a good voiceover that you can delegate yourself or delegate to can do with freelancers or by leveraging a lot of tools with artificial intelligence and attractive thumbnails that grab attention. Every asset you publish is a digital asset. It works for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You upload it today and that video can give you upload it today and that video can give you income for weeks, months or even years, screen, which I published more than a year ago and to this day continues to generate income for me. That's the difference with other business models where if you don't work today, you don't earn anything tomorrow. Here, the work accumulates and becomes a content library that continues to generate passive income for you. That's why YouTube automation is truly a scalable, evergreen, and low- risk business model, because you can start with very little capital, you can easily delegate tasks with a clear process system, and most importantly, the content you create never truly dies . A good video can continue to attract views and be monetized for a long time. Furthermore, this model does not depend on passing fads. Yes, obviously there will be many trending topics you can take advantage of, but the most solid thing is to focus on evergreen topics, whether it's personal finance, psychology, audiobooks, technology, productivity, or business cases. These are topics that people are searching for today, will search for many years to come. And YouTube as a platform rewards precisely that: consistency and long-term value. And if you're still wondering, "Okay?", think, YouTube is not saturated. On the contrary, new content formats appear every day that you can take advantage of. And artificial intelligence allows you to do it much faster, much cheaper, and with much less students from our academy are monetizing their channels much faster means that there is still the possibility of riding that digital wave better and taking full advantage of it . Because YouTube is not stagnating; on the contrary, it is getting bigger and bigger with more and more opportunities. Look at these facts. By 2025, YouTube already had more than 2.053 billion monthly active users worldwide. That means that almost a third of the world's internet-enabled population visits YouTube every month. When you think about that number, you understand how large reach is. Another fact that confirms it. In 2024, YouTube generated $36 billion in revenue from advertising and platform usage alone. That means brands, advertisers, and algorithms are still betting big. Furthermore, the creators' market is oversaturated. The creator economy is estimated to be valued at 190 billion euros in 2025, growing at a much higher compound annual rate shown regarding revenue from visits. On average, a creator can earn from €1 to €30 for every 1000 views depending on the country, video format, audience, etc. So, even if a channel starts with few visits, if it manages to scale and maintain good metrics, revenues multiply easily. And what does this mean for you? That you're not late, that even though there are many channels, there's room for you if you do things right. That said, to help you understand how okay? Let's take a look at how YouTube Studio works a little bit on the inside, okay? Basically, YouTube Studio is the inside of the channel, okay? We have the channel where we browse, where we subscribe to other channels, and then we have the channel to view and analyze metrics internally. So, that's what YouTube Studio is like. I'm going to make it bigger here so you can see it better. And in the first part we have the panel where it tells us about the videos that have been recently uploaded, the subscribers, uh, etc. Okay, a little summary of everything. Then in the content section, we can see all the videos that are uploaded to the channel, the statistics, well, a little bit of the well, a little bit of the channel statistics for the last 28 days, 7 days, 90 days, 365 days and all time, okay? This is a channel that, as of today, isn't generating anything, maybe 1.5 per month because it's abandoned, to show you a little bit of everything it has community section, the section where we can see what people are saying about our own videos, okay? Then here we have the languages ​​section in case we want to translate, etc. And then here we see, well, , if any type of content is copyrighted or cannot be uploaded to the platform, okay? In this case, well, I don't have any because it's not being uploaded either. Then here's the income section that will appear like this once you've monetized the channel. This is basically to personalize the channel a little, whether it's the name, logo, banner, etc. Okay? I don't recommend putting too much, too much focus on this, okay? Then here we have the audio library, which is royalty-free music , okay? so you can use them and monetize your videos correctly. And then here in the last section we have the settings section, which is a little bit about how we want the currency to appear, the channel, the keywords, the upload settings, the permissions, and so on. So, that's a little bit about what you need to focus on is the statistics section. There are two types Evergreen channels and trending channels. In this case, this channel was trending and that this case, this channel was trending and that can be reflected a lot in the peaks of visits/money that the channel was generating. This channel generated €18,100 for me in the year it was active, and I left it to focus more on the ones I have today, which generate much more trending channel is a channel where news is uploaded . An evergreen channel is a channel where content is uploaded for the long term, okay? It doesn't have all these peaks in visits. Notice that one day I can have almost 200,000 visits and the next day drop to 17,000. So, it's neither better nor different channels. This is the channel I 'm talking about. It's a channel that has generated many hundreds of thousands of views, okay? 260,000 visits, 250,000 visits. And it's a channel that worked very well because of those news peaks. With this channel, I generated about €380 in the first month and the following month I already reached the goal of €2,000 per month. Look, this was the first month of monetization, okay? And as I said, I reached €380 in profit, okay? I want to emphasize that it's beneficial because in this case I did everything myself. And the following month, which was September, September 2023, okay? As you can see down here, I've already generated my first €2,000 per month with peaks of €233 per day. Honestly, when I was going through that process, I didn't believe it, was going through that process, I didn't believe it, and this is a clear example that anyone starting today can generate that goal of €2,000 per month with just one channel. And I'm not even talking about what happens if you open up that network of automated channels in the long term, like I have today, with 10 to 13 channels running. Obviously not everyone earns €2,000 a month, but I'm showing this so you can see that it's possible and that by the second month of monetization you can reach show you this channel so you can see that it's possible to make money with this business in the first few months if you're clear on the steps you need to follow. Okay, now that we've seen some of my channels, let's get to the practical part, and for that I've brought Gerard here, thank you so much for being here. He's someone who knows nothing about the YouTube automation business model, and we've both sat down here so you can see the exact step-by-step process in detail, and he's here as if he were literally you. So take note of this, it might be the first section of all, and the first section is the niche. The niche is primarily the most important aspect, and choosing the right niche will account for , well, 90% or even a little more of the percentage of the results we will get. If I ask you what a niche is? What's the Okay, literally, well be the case. The niche is basically what we talk about on our channel, Exactly, exactly. That's the topic. So, in the end there are niches of all kinds, okay? how many niches are there on YouTube? How many niches can be chosen? You can choose whichever ones you want. I'll give you some examples: sports, health, technology. examples: sports, health, technology. Ultimately, the niche is the topic we discuss on our channel. So, for anyone who talk about. Video games, for example, okay? Well, you, for example, could open a video game channel today. In other words, nobody tells you, "Hey, you can't do this and you can do this." There are indeed limits, but you can open up and talk about whatever channels you want. So, now that we've established what a niche is, let's look at the characteristics a niche needs to have to be considered a potential niche, because yes, we obviously know it's a niche, but some niches are better than others . So, let's classify it a little bit here as characteristics and tell me a little bit what comes to think a niche should have to be potential, for example. I think that when it comes to potential, the more specific you are and the more you speak to a certain type of person, the more relevant it will be, right? Because in the end, it's different if you upload, for example, one specific video game ; I don't think so, than if you upload them all, you know? Because then there's a the message is much broader, I think. Okay, that's a good approach, but if we do that, in the end we're targeting a very small sector and we can't really get a piece of the pie overall. So, sure, the example you gave is good and people will identify with it, but really, if for example this is a cake, right?, well, you're just sticking to this small part here when you could end up eating the whole cake. So, the main characteristics that important being that it has no competition. If you do things that no one has done before in the market—and by market I mean language—you have, I don't chance that you'll succeed because there are other factors, algorithms, etc., but if you identify a niche in another market that's working and bring it to the market, in this case the Spanish market, which is the best, it's our market, there's very high possibility, of killing it. So, the first characteristic would be non-competition. take ideas from, for example, channels in the United States to tell you something and then clearly no competition. Exact. Because it would be like a blue sea canal, so to speak, right? It hasn't Ex. So I always recommend having a reference point because it makes that bullet more reliable. In other words, if you've already seen someone do it and it worked for them, it's much more likely, much more possible, that it will work for you too. So, another question: what other characteristics do you think potential? You also know the person you are talking to, so to speak, in a certain way. Okay, okay. Yes, I would say yes, I mean, it's a good example, but let's be a little more specific. I'm going to talk to you about low barriers to entry. What do you think I mean Honestly, I wouldn't know what to tell you. Low entry point, which means it's easy to make videos, right? Yes, yes. That's perfect. In the end, as I've already told you, since you can really open a channel about whatever you want and talk about whatever you want, so obviously you can has to be profitable. So what's the point of creating a channel, spending $100 on a video, if at the end of the month, at the end of those 30 days, the channel is focus on channels that have a low barrier to entry. What do I mean by low barrier to entry? that are easy to script, easy to do the voices, easy to edit. That's what I'm focusing on right now. In other videos, is not animated, it's not simple content, because it's true that maybe I could generate a little more, lower and I would be generating less. So, look for channels that don't require a lot of editing, a lot of complication, because it's much more scalable. Sure, for example, those typical 4-hour videos with music, right? So to speak , music to help you focus on a lot of competition in that field, and that's why I suppose it's not very profitable, right? it depends because all niches are ultimately competitive. The only thing that depends on how you cover the niche or sub-niche is whether you eliminate the competition or not. feature, for me also one of the most important, which you mentioned, and that is long videos. Why do you think it's important to make Because in the end, the person spends more time with the channel and has more trust in it Okay. Yes, it's one of them. One is trust. It's not the same as, for example, you and I sitting here and talking about life, as you and I bumping into each other on the street and you dropping, I don't know, your papers or difference between a reel, an Instagram video, a TikTok video, and a YouTube video. Ultimately, the person spends more time consuming your content and will trust you, interacting much more with you, but that's not really the most Obviously yes, because it's a consequence of making them, but you know, if this is a 12-minute video, you already know that we make money from imagine one at the beginning, one more here, and one at the end, okay? A 12- minute video won't have many more ads either. So, what happens if we make a video that's, for example, 2 hours long? Of course, you'll be able to put three or four times more ads and earn Exact. Exact. You'll be able to put, for example, one here, one here, one here, one here, one here. This means that YouTube will be making significantly more money from these types of videos and will want to promote them because it's thinking, "Wow, I see that this guy, this channel, these types of videos more." Sure, and then the channel crashes, right? In other words, it helps you Exactly. It is also true that long videos take longer to start because they are a bit strange to watch. It's becoming more common, but it's still a true that it boosts them more, but that's because in the end YouTube earns a lot more the important points about making long videos is that if you have any competition because if you have any competition, people will make 12- understand. Okay? So, these are some of the characteristics that I always take into account when choosing a potential niche. Okay? And do you think that the most important thing ideally you wouldn't enter, is branding, so to speak no. So, to give you an idea, I have more than 15 channels running right now, between 12 and 15 channels, depending on the month, right? And in all of them, I mean, I've done the branding with AI in a moment. In other words, obviously branding, logos and banners are one thing, and video format is another. If you're referring to video format, then yes, it 's important, but we'll get to that a right? I was referring to the thumbnail banner. like what they do before that, that doesn't matter, that doesn't matter. Logo, banner, people worry about that . Perfect, we've already seen a little bit about the characteristics, let's now see how to find these potential niches, because it's no use knowing that it's a good niche and knowing the characteristics if you don't know how to problems. To do this, you need to go to YouTube, and I all those channels using keywords. For example, what are keywords? Keywords are the words that are identified with the football, what words come to mind? Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Barça. Okay. Okay. Well, all those words are keywords, words that people have in mind related to the niche. For that, I recommend you go to GPT chat, okay? And you're going to ask him, GPT chat, okay? And you're going to ask him, "Give me the 10 keywords for the niche of [ mind]." Chess would be a good niche. yes? Okay, let's play chess and see what it tells us. Chess for beginners, chess tricks. Okay, now we're going to ask you, okay, but give me the most important ones within YouTube. Okay, so, do you play Te Dicz? Well, they're pretty much the same. So, what would the procedure be now that we have go to YouTube and start searching for all that. There are two ways to do it. You can do it with YouTube from your account, but I don't recommend doing it from my own account? Because you mess up your algorithm cooking videos and now I start watching chess videos, then I'm going to have want to relax, chess videos are going to come up , right? Okay, okay, that's fine, but mainly, I mean, it's done for that specific reason, because YouTube works thanks to an algorithm behind it. So, if you really want to search for something, YouTube isn't going to end up recommend. So, what I recommend is that you do it in incognito mode, okay? Go here, go to YouTube, it's very important that you obviously don't log in because otherwise it's exactly the same thing. And from keywords, okay? But it wouldn't be good, for example, to have chess-related things, just looking for chess-related stuff . we've seen that chess just crossed your mind, but we haven't seen if there's competition, if not. So, to avoid creating a separate channel for each niche we're targeting, okay? Because I might be finding niches so that you and the people watching this video know, maybe I've spent a week, 4 hours a day. So, like I said, if I had to create a channel for every niche that comes to mind, I'd be . Of course, you don't know 100% if chess will before about the competition, right? Maybe it's full of competition and then it's not worth starting. Exact. Exact. So, what else do I recommend? 've already said that we need to be inspired by English channels, then it's pointless for us to start searching for keywords in Spanish channels will appear and we don't want to do that. So, tell me, do you you always use English channels as a reference, or can you tell me something about channels from Brazil, for example? Hey, that's a very good question. You can do everything, but I recommend the the largest. Clear. And the most advanced, right? Exact Norment. That's where all the big fish hang out. So, I'm going to put "give them" here in English, okay? And in English, of course, there are usually the the exact one. Exact. It's the market where they make the most money, but that's because the audience has greater purchasing power, But hey, just as it's where the most money is made, it's also where there's the most the keywords in Spanish, we would have to copy them, go here and ? Okay, I recommend you check out this video from 4 years ago, 11 million girl, how can it be that it's been up for 4 years and it's still number one? I mean, it doesn't make Because this video is very well positioned , okay? Because it has been so well-received that it has positioned itself as one of the best videos. Sure, that's what you were Clear. And also because of the keyword I put "cheese for beginners" and I imagine video or in the video in general he has been talking about this. So here automated channels, channels where no person appears, like for example, identified that it is an automated channel. Because? Because no person appears, no personal brand appears. This channel doesn't any person to function, but I also recommend that you go to filters and look for videos between 4 and 20 minutes long. Because? Because automated channels, as I mentioned before, tend to upload much longer content , okay? For example, this would also be an automated channel. If you it's Faceless, isn't it? That has no face. Exact. We see that it is a channel that has 73,000 subscribers and half a million views. This would also be a potential idea, an idea that we can replicate. Because? Because it has far more visits than subscribers. So what does this mean? is this idea promising? Because this tells us that there is a high demand. videos get are from subscribers. If we go to a channel that has 3,000 subscribers and its videos have 300,000 views, then we can assume that all those views come from the audience it already has. right? Exact. Exact. And those videos that people are watching are already from people who are subscribed. So, here we can which is potential ideas. What is a potential idea? An idea like this, an idea that has much more volume than the channel's subscribers, and that if we kept looking, would have worked on many more channels. And you, Eric, how do you do it, I mean, what do you use? Docs, Notion, to put example, if I want to start, where would I put all the information? Because of 10 channels, so where do you document the potential ideas you Okay. Yes, that would be a bit more advanced, okay? You would then have to create your own WFlows and systems, but to avoid confusing yourself and could do it with a Google Doc . You can copy and paste the titles or URLs of the videos there, and that's it. So, going back to the previous topic, the topic of ideas, what is a potential idea? A potential idea is visits than the channel's subscribers. channel that has 1 million subscribers and has, uh, 100,000 views, that's not potential idea would be a channel that has 50 to 150,000 subscribers, for example, and has 3,450 views. But I also have to consider how long ago that video was uploaded, because if you have 70,000 subscribers, might think, okay, it's not a potential idea, right? Exactly, but if it was lot of people are watching that video for a to grow. So, that would also be , well, what I've explained to you would be how to find those potential ideas. To find those potential ideas, I recommend that once you have the niche, in this case we have to as many channels as possible so that you can have many references and can different channels. Okay, I'm going to show you an example of what a potential niche really is , okay? And it would be this channel right here, okay? I always say niche, I tell the channel, okay? The niche is the topic being discussed, but well, this channel here is about the niche, in this case about dinosaurs, prehistory, and so on. Okay? This, if you look, is a channel that has 20,000 subscribers and if we go to popular videos, look, 7 months ago 1 million views, 4 months ago 687,000 views. If you look closely, it's what I mentioned before, it has a much higher volume of visits than it has guaranteeing us that there's a large market demand. It is very, very here that there are no shorts, which are short videos, then that is not validating that it has not redirected from any other video. No, no, no. The reason these videos have so many views is precisely this . , so to speak, overloaded with views due to shorts is worse. So, exactly, exactly. In other words, I don't want to say it's worse, Of course, it's a worse idea because it's not just that the video performed well, but that you're helping to prove that the audience that watched that video is empty, so that volume of views doesn't count. So, this would be an example of a potential niche. Why would that be a good example? Because, well, I've done a preliminary analysis and nobody else is doing this. So, since nobody is doing it, that's also why there's step you mentioned earlier. Exact. Exact. And that's so much potential. Okay. Now that we have a clear idea, how do I create the content? Because of course, no competition, but what's next, content, very good, as you said. And look, if you had asked me a year ago, I would have said, with four people you have to hire four people, artificial intelligence you can do everything in a moment and not just in a moment, but it does it super well. But anyway, I'm mainly going to explain both ways. One way is by hiring a team, a team of four person in charge of writing the script for the video, a narrator, who is the person who narrates the video or artificial intelligence, an editor and a thumbnail artist. the covers, the front pages, makes the miniatures. can find that team on Twitter, on Workana, on Foro Beta. Ultimately, they are external apps that I'm going to show you here. Appwork. Do you recommend Fiber or not? Yes, look, it's actually ranked number one, but Fiber is good and you can find fast equipment, but people charge higher rates. So, that's why I also recommend Upwork, okay? Because on Appor you can find quality people at a lower price. It's not about paying little, but the problem, I don't know, the point is . Then I recommend Upwork to send job proposals to that what we were talking about before, you can do scripts perfectly with GPT chat , I mean, it's a breeze to do. Phrases, you can do it with That was AI, wasn't it? Or not? Yes, yes. Everything, everything now is the page that everyone uses to make voices. The levels are paid, but it's not much money. Then at the banana for example. I've heard of that one that creates "Exactly, it's this one here, okay? We'd have to log in, register, and all that, but it's a quick thing to do, and it makes really, really good thumbnails. Generally speaking, with artificial intelligence, if you tell it exactly what you want, it'll do things right. If you tell it, obviously it's not going to do it right. The point is to tell it exactly To be very specific. Exactly. Exactly. And in terms of editing, it's true that I'd say it's the only thing I don't delegate to someone else, of course I do. I videos, but I'm referring to delegating to artificial intelligence. It's not Exactly. Yes, there are many artificial intelligences, but they don't do Okay. Okay. So, now that you know this, thumbnail, and we're going to do it live. I'm going to show you how you can do it with Chat GPT, which is completely free, just like I do. Okay, let's go to Chat GPT and come back here, let's go to the video and download the thumbnail, okay? With the BQ extension, or we'll crop it here, okay? We'll paste it and go to Chat GPT, and we'll be able to... I want you to make me a thumbnail exactly the same, but translated into Spanish, okay? It won't do it directly. So now it's going to ask you quite a few things, okay? I mean, ah, well look, here it's already starting, and here it tells us, perfect, before generating it, I need just one thing. Okay, confirmation. Okay, this is good. Perfect. Chess, which put chess. Okay, so let's put this. We put it here and add this. Look, it just generated it. It's incredible what he's done in a moment. I mean, it's incredible. I mean, look at what we told him before and what he's done. Okay? So, well, what do mean, I think it's good, but in the end, you have to improve it, right? Not just copy and paste. What would you recommend? Give more information to the GPT chat. Yes, but if it worked well, then replicate it and that's it. Mind you, replicating isn't copying, okay? Why would it be copying here? Copying exactly would be downloading the image and, for example, using what he himself has from scratch. So, since it's generated that it's quite, quite the same. I would recommend that you change a few small things, right? But just to perfect it. But it's good, I thumbnail, well, since we We generated it ourselves. YouTube wouldn't say anything to us, the channel could complain, but we'd end up winning because we have proof that we did it completely from scratch. So, to be even more certain, we could ask them to change the color from yellow to another color, and that way we'd be a little more certain. In the end, to change a color, well, nothing's going to happen , okay? The video will still work . Yes, of course, here it wouldn't be so much about branding, it video format? This, which is what worked, is chess for beginners, explained, okay? And here, well, these two pieces, and we I'm saying, nothing happens if we change a color. The point is that important, okay? The winning format, right? The one had it here. And why do we say winner? Because it's a video that had a we've seen all the initial things, let's look at the channel metrics. So, here in the overview we have some general metrics, such as views, watch time, subscribers, and has also generated, well, 100,000 subscribers in total. This channel has generated the award, and we see that has generated the award, and we see that in 2025 it has generated 2.9 million views, and here the watch time is the number of hours the audience spends watching your content. But well, those are the general metrics. The metrics you have to keep in mind are these here, okay? Which are impressions, how many impressions your channel is receiving , the click-through rate of those impressions, and the average watch time. This is a bit about retention, this is called the CTR, and these are the impressions. People ask, "Okay, so what is a..." "Good CTR?" Because, well, here I have a 5.3 and I always answer, it depends, because on trending channels I've had, um, 30 CTRs. Why? Because being trending meant much more competition, and I had to have a very high CTR to go viral. But this channel has generated more than 30,000 or channel has generated more than 30,000 or 35,000 views, I don't remember, this year, and I have 35,000 views, I don't remember, this year, and I have a 5.3 CTR. So, um, having it better or worse. Obviously, the higher the better, because it means the conversion rate is higher, but on a channel, in this case like this one, since so many people are watching, it's normal that the conversion rate isn't that high. And here's a little summary of where you can see your metrics for all your videos. Now that we've seen a little bit of everything, let's talk about how you can scale this, not just the channel, but how you can scale the network of automated channels. I suppose it would involve searching More and more ideas, right? the niche in the United States, how it is, and especially in Spain, or whatever market you're going to It's simply a volume game, I'd say. Okay, yes, that's good, but it's not the most important thing. I mean, obviously, yes, but you works. I mean, if you do more of what works, that's good. But I'd say the trick to scaling in this, I always tell my students this, is to create channels. Why? Because if you depend on just one channel, you're screwed, to the same for one channel to generate €10,000 a month as it is for five channels to generate €10,000 a month in total. Why? Because the probability of channels going up and down is high. There are months when it goes better and months when it goes worse. So, the solution to that is not to depend on just one channel, because I know many people who did. €5,000, €10,000 a month with one channel, but when that channel dies, its income drops to zero. So, the trick to scaling in this is to open and open and open channels. In the end, whoever opens the most channels is the one who ends up winning in the long run. And watching this video need to keep this in mind: this business model is a long-term business model . The video you upload today can generate income from today until three years from now. That is, I have a channel where I uploaded videos a year ago, and those videos are still generating money for me today. I've generated €7,000, €8,000 with just one I understand, but then to manage more channels, I'm going to need more and more you have the same person for a dinosaur channel as for a chess channel, or how do you do it? Okay, right now, as I mentioned, you can do everything with artificial intelligence . So, I focus on hiring... Just a few people, and those people leveraging AI to generate everything. You can do it all so easily. Before, I would have said, each managing five channels," but nowadays you like to say it's so easy, but so quickly—and you don't need to hire a big team. So, nothing, how did you see man. Well, I found it great in terms of training and value, because now I question I have is, okay, I know, for example, that the potential niches markets usually pay me the most money per visit? Such as the we mentioned earlier, regarding the level of people's purchasing power. So how can I know which markets are more or less profitable for me in terms of I don't want to put that video up and it's more profitable for me to put it up in Spanish than in Latin American Spanish. Okay, that's a very good question. I would say that in the end all European markets more or less have the same RPM. Uh, we earn the same for every 1000 visits. So, whether it's French, it's good, German is also pretty good, Italian too, they all have the same thing. Italian too, they all have the same thing. Okay, the point is, it's not by market, it's by niche, it's by channel, okay? Uh, a channel, I mean, your question is very good, but a channel will have roughly the same RPM in Spanish as in Italian, but one niche or another will indeed have different RPMs. So, depending on the channel, you'll have a different RPDM, but everything is pretty similar, except for the US market, which Okay? So, within all the markets, what would be most profitable for me the same, is practically if I see that there is a lot of competition in an AG channel in Spanish better to go to the Italian one because I'll charge the same and at least there's competition. Okay, I understand. Well dude, everything's perfectly clear to me now. Thank you so much for channel. If you've made it this far, it means you're truly committed to your results.
