## Summary

This video demonstrates how to create YouTube Shorts by copy-pasting top 5/top 10 lists using AI tools like VidIQ and InVideo. The creator claims this strategy has helped channels earn up to $450,000 per year and provides a step-by-step tutorial on content creation, editing, and monetization through affiliate marketing.

### Key Points

- **Claim of earning potential** [00:02] — The video claims you can copy and paste top 5/10 lists onto YouTube Shorts and that channels using this strategy make upwards of $450,000 per year, citing a channel called 'top things world' as an example.
- **Using AI for scripts** [01:10] — The first step is to use VidIQ's AI coach to generate a script for the list. The creator demonstrates asking VidIQ to list the top five phone brands in the world and then formatting it for a short video.
- **Creating the video in InVideo** [05:49] — The video shows how to use InVideo to edit the Short: add background video (e.g., outer space), text overlay, voiceover, and images for each list item. Includes tips on text animation (blur in) and image zoom for engagement.
- **Uploading to YouTube Shorts** [17:15] — To avoid copyright issues, the creator recommends using a specific audio track available only through the YouTube app on phone. Steps: transfer video to phone, create a Short in the YouTube app, add the sound, adjust volume, and upload.

## Transcript

here and in this video I'm gonna show you can literally copy and paste top 5 and top 10 lists onto YouTube shorts using the power and what's crazy is there are literally channels using this exact strategy
channels using this exact strategy making upwards of 450 000 per year but part is the fact that if you look right here their views for the last 30 days alone are up almost 150 percent and
they're subscribers for the last 30 days are up almost 250 percent and that means that this Channel right now doing the exact strategy I'm about to show you is actively blowing up which means it's all the more likely for you to blow up and
something that may even be better than what I just showed you is the fact that there's nobody on YouTube teaching this Niche and I'm going to show you how to do everything completely step by step and all I ask of you simply watch the
entire video so you don't miss out on any of the steps and smash the like to do so assuming you already smash the like button let's get into the video alright so like I said we're going to be copy and pasting those top five and top
10 lists onto YouTube shorts using the power of AI technology and obviously top 5 or top 10 is kind of the niche but the Channel that I was showing you on here on socialblade with the 450k earnings is top things world and before I show you
that channel I just want to say please understand that 450k this channel could make a lot more or a lot less than that this is just an estimate on socialblade for example my channel I make much more than what my social blade says it really
fact of the matter is is this is what's possible if you're willing to put in the work however this isn't going to happen overnight you have to be willing to be consistent and actually put in that hard work because no one I know has uploaded
five videos and all of a sudden boom 450 000 in their bank account the next day like it doesn't happen like that it took me months to even make a caller on YouTube and most people give up after a couple days so please don't let that big
number intimidate you don't need 450k to be successful like I just wanted to make want to be like all these other YouTubers who give like unrealistic expectations like I just want to be real and show you the real way to do this so
I hope you understand that very important but now the channel is like I said top things world and if we click on their channel right here you can see 77k their channel right here you can see 77k views 3 million 3.4 million like 142 185
000 2.6 million insane amount of views and just so you can see kind of what this one here and I have the volume turned off but basically at the start they just show a little bit of text they don't show their face they do speak this
first part like they say top 10 mobile brands in the uh in the world but after that they just show like an image with text on the screen that pops up and then and I'm going to be showing you how to do all of that and I'm going to show you
how to do it much better than this and how to monetize it with a very specific way towards the end and a way you can make even more money after that so this video just for example I think we're gonna recreate this one because
you don't have to reinvent the wheel right instead of top 10 I think we'll just do top five just for ease of use you know to make it a little shorter but the first step to actually creating this video is by using a tool that I love is
vid IQ and not only is this like a YouTube Tool where you can get keywords and you can learn so much stuff about YouTube through it but they have the AI coach which is basically like a chat GPT version of just YouTube specific things
you get what I'm saying like chatgpt is great you can use it for anything but the problem is half the time or probably more than half the time you can't even get access to the website because it's just so busy it's like we're at capacity
so that's kind of annoying but also vid IQ is made specifically for YouTube like if I was to ask it what are the top five phone brands in the world you can see they won't answer that question because it's not directly
related to YouTube so you kind of gotta word it in a way that makes sense so instead if I reset conversation and say something like can you write me a script about what the top five phone brands in the world are currently
and as you can see it listed them and it literally writes a script so this is something that Chachi PT just doesn't do as good as bit IQ does and by the way like obviously we don't need a full script for a YouTube shorts video so if
you wanted to just say hey could you uh list those five phone brands again list those five phone brands again without any text please so there you go so now it's much easier to like copy and paste right and you can definitely go to
chat GPT and get this same information but if you want to use the strategy that I suggest for like higher level things besides just doing YouTube shorts this tool is going to change the game because of this script part we're not going to
use that today but I'll explain more on that later okay so again you're welcome to use chat gbt if you want but if you want vid IQ they do have an exclusive 30-day offer only available for my subscribers where you can get a one
dollar trial for 30 days and I mean it's basically a no-brainer right so if it's not a view for you after the 30 days you're welcome to cancel but it's just one dollar and that's just barely scratching the surface of what vid IQ
can do okay so now basically we got our video idea the top five phone brands in the world we got the list of them so now the next step is actually creating the video and this is another tool that I've talked about on my
channel before you could probably guess because I use it for all of the editing already have in video you can skip ahead like 30 seconds but real quick if you don't basically they have a business and an unlimited plan they used to have a
because you couldn't export videos anyways but it's 15 a month for business and 30 for unlimited which is on the yearly so you get 50 off because on yearly so you get 50 off because on monthly it's 30 and 60. okay so it just
the yearly because I mean it's a huge discount but totally up to you but regardless whichever route you go whether it's business or unlimited make sure you use the code Garrett's 25 you can get 25 off your entire order for
life and the link to that is in the description down below but now once you have your actual account this is the home page of Nvidia and they actually have ai stuff like text to video this is more for like regular long form videos
doing in this video we're going to use just the regular editor for the pro video creation right here because it's going to be easier for the type of YouTube shorts we're creating so let's click on this right here and you're
don't have to upload anything right here exit out of that and the first thing you want to do if you look at their videos right here back at the beginning of it if I refresh it it's kind of funny on every single video they have they have
like a video of outer space they have the same exact audio and it works for them so I think we're just going to kind of model off of what they did and do something very similar right if it ain't broke don't fix it right so let's go
back here and you go to videos and we type outer space and then hit enter and you can pick whichever one you want this one looks pretty similar to what they have right here and you can either drag it or you can hit the little plus button
I'm just going to drag it right now and then hit right here you hit add and now basically take the corner right here and make it bigger and let's do it they kind of had it off to the corner a little bit like that right and let's see what it
like that right and let's see what it looks like when we hit play so there's not much movement a little bit but one cool trick you can do is you and you could just speed it up a bunch to kind of see if that makes it look
want to catch someone's eye at least a little bit at the start okay yeah that's much better okay so now what you want to do is you just want to basically go to text add heading and you can also use these pre-made ones right
it from scratch so you can see how to actually do this the right way which most people don't show but you just hit that plus right there and then we're just gonna either double click on there or hit edit and all you do is do the or
we could just do top five best phone brands brands or or what is it top five mobile Brands top five mobile phone brands in the world okay so a little different but
we'll go with that and we want to make this a little bigger but you don't want see the thing is if you go to theirs right here and we hit play you can see this text at the bottom here it's actually going to be in the way and it
looks a lot harder to read if the text is in the way of this text right here so you don't want that you want it towards the middle or up a little higher okay so you click on it you can go to the font right here you can choose from all these
that important but if you want a different one go for it we'll try that one that one looks good but yeah choose that important you want to make sure it's you know lightable obviously you
want it to be more bold but we'll go right here and you want to go to the text effects and for this first one there's a few different ways you can go fill you could have background Shadow you could change the color color of this
however you want I think we'll go with Shadow on this and uh yeah that looks good and again if you want to change the color of this you can go right here to text color and you can make it yellow just like theirs right there you go okay
and this font isn't the best honestly like that's probably my favorite font is the Montserrat bold which is what I have right here or Montserrat black so that's probably my favorite just because I like how bold it is and you can make it a
get what I'm saying so that's much better in my opinion and now what you want to do is you want to add the voiceover for just this first part trust me it's not a big deal even if English isn't your first language like this
video he's from India you get what I'm saying so it's not perfect English at all you don't have to be perfect with anything you just have to actually do it okay and there's really two ways that I suggest doing it so the first way which
is going to be the easiest if you don't have like your own microphone or a you're going to want to just upload your voiceover file and you can do that by just going on your phone turning on your voice memos and literally just saying
what you want to say so you'd be like you press start on your voice memo and you'd be like top five mobile phone brands in the world and then you would your computer like email it or you could
it to your computer and then you would hit upload boom you're done but just for microphone I'll just hit record voiceover and then I'll hit start it it's going to be right here okay so I'm going to hit record
top 5 mobile phone brands in the world and then you hit stop and then you just hit add and you can also just cut it right now so you go like that and you cut to where I ended right there and now you hit add also this is how you make it
smaller right there but yeah so let's turn this back on now what you want to do is you want to basically make this the same size as the voiceover and now only part where you're gonna speak now like I said you can do it without using
your voice but this is just how I suggest doing it the right way because if you want Real Results you got to do real things okay so now the next step is the easiest part okay so just go to images now so right there images and
what was the fifth one it was this one I don't even know how to pronounce that xiaomi maybe so let's just type uh I don't need the number type xiaomi phone okay you could use any one of these they just basically use like blank
um it's totally up to you honestly here let's see how this one will look let's hit add and then you want this to the right of what you just did okay so now I can make this bigger we'll do it like that and honestly you could make it the
full amount or you can make it a little less and also you can delete that logo um let's do it like that because there's a couple things I want to show you so first off we need more text okay so what you can do to make it easy is you can
just stretch the text right here and then you can just snip it so now this is a separate text okay hit edit and then you can just paste in that uh five and I I probably do uh number five and then a dash I just think it looks better and
then let's make this like uh 72. that's pretty small let's do like 80. that's good now for this if you wanted to keep it going what they do if we hit play again and uh wait a couple seconds here they do the white background with black
text totally up to you I think we'll just do that because it seems to work so just do that because it seems to work so let's go by going to text effects hide the shadow turn on the background fill so we want the background to be white
up and then obviously we don't want it that big so make it smaller like that and then you want the text color right here to be black here to be black boom easy right so now what you want to
do for this is we're going to kind of make like a template because we're just going to copy and paste these for each of them and then just change the text in the image but what you want to do is now you want to add on a little bit of
Animation effects and this is stuff no one shows you by the way so make sure to this but just go to the animation right here and go to like blur we'll go blur in and change it to like five seconds and then for the in place you see how
it's just a still image right there what you want to do is you want to pan it or actually we'll Zoom it in we'll zoom in you could zoom in or zoom out but I like zooming in there and then for the text because now the text is going to show
going to go to the phone or the text right here you go for the in animation and you go to blur again and you go to in and then again five seconds so now watch what it does you see there's just more eye-catching
than just a still image and a still text you get what I'm saying so basically if you look at theirs it was like probably I don't know two seconds for each slide go with about right there okay and then again we're gonna just slice it slice it
and then cut those off okay and now this is the easy part what you're gonna do is you're just gonna duplicate this move it to the right duplicate this move it to the right that way we don't have to redo the uh animation every time but now what
you want to do is on this one so we go instead of number five we're gonna go to number four Oppo never heard of that one before either but uh we'll go back here before either but uh we'll go back here go to edit number four Oppo and then for
the image we're gonna go to an Oppo phone now okay so now they got a bunch does this one look like you could take it and just drag it onto here now right there let go and then hit replace so now it's going to be the same size as this
little bit but it's got all the animations on there okay so let's make need it bigger than that and you wanna make sure the logo shows we'll do it like that okay so now you got number five
number four so I'm assuming you kind of understand how this works now that's how finish the other three off camera and I'll be right back okay so one thing I want to show you if a image is sideways like this you can actually just drag it
down a little bit and there's this little circle and you can use this to kind of turn the image and make it kind of whatever angle you want it to be so you could do it something like that just a quick tip but I'm almost done one more
phone all right so I finished all five of these I gotta Zoom this out a little there you go so all five of them I'll export it and then I'll show you the again you just go right here to go to export and then you want to go to 1080
and then you go to export all right so here's the finished product top five here's the finished product top five mobile phone brands in the world
or music in the background yet and I'm going to show you a way where we can do it that's going to blow you away but if I go back to again his video right here if you look at all of his videos he uses like I said the same image on the
background the same text style and he literally uses the same audio for every and I'm gonna actually upload it and kind of see what the results are spoiler alert the results are insane but I can't show you quite yet I'll reveal these
actual results very shortly just keep on watching and something most people don't know is the only way to actually get the audio that he uses is by using your cell phone because you have to actually use the YouTube app and you get access to
special sounds they're called that you can only use on short form platforms like YouTube shorts Tick Tock Etc so basically I'm going to take this you you're going to get it to your phone I have airdrop so I'm gonna do that quick
all right so this is my example Channel I've used a few times which is kind of crazy because all these videos I've gotten insane views but basically you want to go to this plus button at the bottom here and hit create a short okay
you can see in the left corner right here the video is right there so we'll hit that video and then you want to hit done and then at the top right here you can see add sound so you would click that it didn't show the name of the
sound on their videos I had to use Shazam to figure it out but this is the name of the sound I'll show you so obviously I'm not going to say this out loud so it's this one um there's usually not an apostrophe
right there uh but you you could guess kind of what it is um but it's the on it and then hit the blue button here I'm not going to play the sound because it can sometimes affect monetization on regular videos but you won't have a
YouTube has worked that out with the artists but now you'll just hit this green green that's a white check mark right there and now it would have the sound on it and then one thing I would suggest doing is going to volume because
this audio is pretty loud so I would turn that down so it's not like too loud beginning so make sure you do that and then literally all you do is you go to the top right and hit next and then for the caption we're gonna do top five
the caption we're gonna do top five mobile phone brands in the world and then do a hashtag shorts I always add that one so that's your title and it now allows you to change uh which one you want selected as the um thumbnail
this is brand new so you hit that little edit button right there and I don't know I'd probably choose that one's fine we'll just hit done it might still Auto choose it for you I don't know I guess we'll find out but yeah so now you just
hit done and then you hit upload short and there you go it's right there and it you can now choose the thumbnail which you couldn't do before so I'm glad they updated that and uh yeah that's the uh one if you want to check it out it's on
the channel now but we're not finished yet okay this is the most important part so now we're gonna actually monetize that video which you can do from the earn ad revenue or nothing you can do this at the beginning and this is with
something called affiliate marketing this is how I made my first dollars online and basically companies like Amazon Target all these huge companies they allow you to promote their products and if someone purchases through your
commission and the nice thing about ClickBank compared to like companies like Amazon Amazon's paying you just a couple percent where ClickBank has digital products where you can get 50 60 70 commissions and make some pretty
large amounts of money okay so that's how we're gonna monetize just right off don't have an account you just click Start here and they will ask you this you want to skip this and now you want to create your account so make sure you
just going to log in and then inside of ClickBank on the marketplace up here there's a ton of different products for what we're doing you're probably going to want to go with like E-Business and e-marketing and we'll just hit view all
and some ones that I would suggest doing for this method because it's not really like on a specific topic like we're not a health and fitness channel so we can't use Fitness Products but products where you get paid to use Facebook or online
jobs like that's pretty broad like almost anyone is interested in that so I would choose either live chat jobs or get paid to use social media basically this one pays you 18 almost 19 this one pays you almost 55 up to you whichever
with this one so what you do is you hit promote and then I would just choose the what their website looks like pretty basic with a video so that looks good and then you just hit create hop link and that's your affiliate link so create
that and this is basically the link we want we're going to copy this link but you want to go to a website called bitly.com and then you scroll down right here and what bitly does is you paste in your long link right here right and then
you shorten it and it shortens that long link to this smaller link right here okay well you can't see it right there so we'll hit copy on that at and that's what we're going to use on the actual video however most people will be like
right here and then go to the description of the video but you can't get to the description when you're on shorts so what you want to do is you and I think we did the online jobs product make sure you pay attention to
which product you choose so it's live chat jobs and again if you want to kind of understand more about the product you can go to their website again so you just go there and kind of watch the video your job you can do online how
does getting paid 25 an hour to reply to Facebook comment sound there you go so you could say something like uh get paid twenty five dollars per hour replying to
Facebook comments or you could say like wanna get paid 25 an hour replying to Facebook comments learn more here there you go so that's what I would comment because that's super congruent with what he says in the video so right
video they'll be like oh okay I'm at the right spot so we'll hit comment and then you basically want to pin this comment that way anyone who goes to the comments on this video that's the first comment they're gonna see but now I do want to
mention this because it's very important when I talked about vid IQ and how it can basically give you a whole script and how that's not important for shorts it's very important for long form videos and I highly recommend using long form
videos along with short form videos which if you didn't know that's how I actually blew up my own personal YouTube channel was combining short form content with long form content and obviously when I first started blowing up YouTube
shorts wasn't a thing so I just used Tick Tock and I'll put some images on the screen but basically what I did is I took each longer video and the same day I posted that I posted like a 30 30 or 60 second short video about the same
thing just much shorter and as you can see these are my analytics from 2019 to 2020 where my life completely changed because I used short form content with because I used short form content with long form content it's insane and uh
basically you would do the same thing with this Niche you would do okay we did the five mobile phone brands you would make a longer video or it's the five mobile phone brands you just instead of 10 or 30 second short video you do a 8
or 10 minute long video where you explain each of the brands more in depth it's very very simple and this is why I teach the importance of long-form content inside of my no face YouTube course I mean take Ben for example two
weeks inside the program and he's already at over 400 subscribers that's insane like it took me six months and I think I it might even yeah eight months and I was at 400. so he's done it in two weeks and he said I'll put it up on the
screen but he said I only have four full videos and 20 plus shorts I'm learning that full videos are where I'm getting a good steady views from but uh yeah you can read it right there but uh he's crushing it and he's that's the amazing
thing like I was so slow to get subscribers and make money when I first started but I didn't have anyone teaching me anything I just figured it out on my own so that's the true power of having someone who's done it and
the right way so I hope you appreciate all the free value from this video and check out my no face YouTube course at no facey.com and if you want to get access to any of the tools I talked about in this video the links are in the
description down below and if you're like Thomas I don't want any of that I'm the video on the screen right now and that's all I got I love you guys I'll that's all I got I love you guys I'll see on the next video
