--- title: 'I Copied a Stoicism Channel That Earns €3,500/Month' source: 'https://youtube.com/watch?v=k5qCrI2VS_c' video_id: 'k5qCrI2VS_c' date: 2026-08-06 duration_sec: 1591 --- # I Copied a Stoicism Channel That Earns €3,500/Month > Source: [I Copied a Stoicism Channel That Earns €3,500/Month](https://youtube.com/watch?v=k5qCrI2VS_c) ## Summary This video analyzes a successful faceless YouTube channel in the stoicism niche, 'Stoic Blessing', which reportedly earns €4,000–€6,000 per month. The creator breaks down the channel's strategy and provides a step-by-step guide on how to replicate it using AI tools for scripting, voiceovers, editing, and thumbnails, all without showing your face or investing money. ### Key Points - **Channel Earnings and RPM** [00:01] — The channel 'Stoic Blessing' earns over €4,000 per month by reading sentences. It has an RPM of over 10, meaning it earns €10 per 1000 views. Last month it generated almost 600,000 visits, translating to €4,000–€6,000. - **CPM vs RPM** [00:44] — CPM is what YouTube earns per 1000 views, while RPM is what the creator takes out. This distinction is crucial for understanding revenue. - **Channel Format** [01:35] — The channel uses eye-catching thumbnails with a woman and a phrase, consistent branding (yellow, white, black), and stoicism-themed titles. Videos feature a background image, a good narrating voice, and subtitles, all created with AI. - **Evergreen vs Trending Channels** [02:44] — The channel is evergreen, meaning videos remain relevant over time, accumulating views and revenue. Trending channels focus on news and have a shorter lifespan. - **Long Videos for Retention** [03:11] — The channel makes half-hour videos to increase viewer retention, which YouTube rewards with higher RPM because longer videos allow more ads. - **Step 1: Find Validated Channels** [04:27] — Look for channels with many views relative to subscribers, indicating good video ideas. Use their titles as a reference, translate them to Spanish, and check if anyone has done it in your market. If not, you get the whole pie. - **Step 2: Create the Script with ChatGPT** [06:37] — Extract the transcript from the reference video via YouTube's 'show transcript' feature. Paste it into ChatGPT with instructions to translate and create a new script from scratch, avoiding copyright issues. - **Step 3: Voiceovers with Eleven Labs** [09:39] — Use Eleven Labs for AI voiceovers. It has free and paid plans (e.g., $5/month for 100,000 credits). Select a voice that matches your channel's image and generate speech from the script. - **Step 4: Editing with CapCut** [13:00] — Import images, audio, and music. Align images with the audio phrases, add effects like 3D zoom for dynamism, and choose a music track that matches the video's emotion. Lower the music volume to avoid muddying the voiceover. - **Step 5: Automatic Subtitles** [18:05] — In CapCut, go to the subtitles section, click 'Generate', and it will create subtitles automatically. Add a simple animation for better appearance. - **Step 6: Thumbnails with ChatGPT** [20:06] — Use ChatGPT's image generation feature. Provide a reference image and prompt to create a thumbnail from scratch in Spanish, specifying format (e.g., 720p) and adjusting details like text and people. - **Step 7: Optimize Description, Title, and Tags** [23:51] — Use ChatGPT to generate 20 best SEO tags for stoicism. For description, post the first three paragraphs of the script. For title, ask ChatGPT for 10 variations adapted for SEO in Spanish. ### Conclusion The video provides a complete, actionable blueprint for creating a faceless, AI-driven YouTube channel in the stoicism niche, emphasizing long videos, high retention, and leveraging AI tools to minimize effort and cost. ## Transcript has earned over €4,000 per month simply by reading sentences. And the best part is, you can do exactly the same thing without showing your face and without investing a single euro. In fact, today we're going to analyze this reference channel, but I want you to know that I myself am generating income like what you're seeing on screen using this strategy. First of all, let's analyze the channel. The channel is called Stoic Blessing and as you can see, if we look at the most popular videos, it generated 177,000 views two months ago. This is their most popular video, and this channel has an RPM of over 10. I'm telling you this from personal experience, having seen it very, very closely. And for those wondering what RPM is, it's what YouTube pays you for every 1000 views. There is a big difference between CPM and RPM. CPM is what YouTube earns for every 1000 views, and RPM is what we take out, content creators. If we go here, we see that last month it generated almost 600,000 visits and considering that it has an RPM of 810, we could be seeing that it is generating between € 4,000 and €6,000 last month. Let's take a look at the channel. The channel is a channel that, if you look closely, is the typical format of thumbnails of a woman and a phrase next to it with the same branding. brand approach. If you look closely, its colors are yellow, white, black and, in this case, the face, well, of this person, in this case, this girl. What this channel is doing is creating very eye-catching thumbnails and then automatically redirecting you with a title about stoicism, with a video about stoicism. Let's go into in depth how they are doing the video step by step. Let's get to it. Let's enter this channel. see is a background image, a very good narrating voice, and some subtitles in the good narrating voice, and some subtitles in the middle. Let's analyze [Music] a little more video remains the same. I'm going to move on a little more, okay? But look, it's a typical video with images, a very good background voiceover, and subtitles in the video, okay? This channel, including the subtitles, voice, and images, has been created using artificial intelligence, and it's a great time to make this video. If we look gradually rising. This is because it is a channel that has an evergreen focus. There are two types of channels, a trending channel and an evergreen channel. A trends channel is a channel that uploads news, that is dedicated to uploading trends or news about a certain topic. For example, a news item from a specific channel would be breaking news, uh, x person dies from this, x person who would be an interesting person, that would be a news item. And a bergreen video is a time; it's a video that might interest you today or might this channel is that it's accumulating videos, it's accumulating views, and the more videos you upload, the more views it will accumulate and the more revenue it will generate. What we're also seeing from this channel is that it's making half-hour videos. And why is he doing this? It's making the viewer stay on the platform for the maximum amount of time . So what about that? YouTube rewards content creators who manage to keep their video audiences watching longer, that is, increase video retention. Because? Because YouTube wins. The more ads you can put within the platform and the longer a video is, the more ads YouTube will be able to add within that video. And that means YouTube makes more money, and YouTube rewards you and pays you more. And that's called increasing the RPM. We've talked about how this channel had an RPM of around 810, but there are channels that are making shorter videos and are in a different niche, which can have an RPM of one, meaning that for every 1000 views they are only earning €1, and this channel with 1000 views would be generating €10. logo was created using artificial intelligence; it's a quick process, and the banner was too. In other words, they're not complicating things at all when creating the content for the channel. And now we're going to follow the step-by-step process of how we could replicate this, but on a Spanish channel. Let's move on to the first point, which would be to find channels that have a lot of visits and, above all, that subscribers. Because? Because that validates for us that it's a channel that's generating income thanks to good video ideas, because it's no use to us to be guided by a channel that has 500,000 views if it has 2 million subscribers. Therefore, we should always be guided by channels that have many more views do that, what do I recommend? I recommend that you use their titles as a reference and adapt them to the Spanish market, that is, translate them into Spanish to see if anyone has done it before, because I no one has done within my market. Because? Because I get the whole piece of the pie. On the other hand, if you make a video that many people have already made, it would pie. For those wondering how I would do it, it would be as follows. I would go to popular videos, in this case I would select the popular videos, in this case I would select the most viral video, copy the title, and paste it here into the translator because we want to do it exactly as is. We would translate it into Spanish, copy it, and paste it back into the search engine to before. If you look closely, you'll see that some channels have done it, but notice, they've done it for 4 minutes, they've done it for 20 minutes. If you look closely, they have already done it in a different way, for two simple reasons. They haven't followed exactly the same format at the thumbnail level. I mean, look, this is a super cheap thumbnail compared to the duration has differed. They have had a much shorter duration than that reference channel. So, what I would mainly do here is leverage the format 100% and copy the thumbnail format. Note, I'm not telling you to copy and download the thumbnail exactly. I'm telling you to do exactly the same thing, but from scratch. And what I would also do is make it much longer, because I'm also differentiating myself and adding much more value to the YouTube platform by making a longer video. YouTube will also detect that retention will be higher and will want to promote your video more simply because it will generate more revenue. Let's move on to step number two, which is to create the script, create the sentence, and we're going to do it with GPT chat. We are going to leverage artificial intelligence. And very few people know that if we go to the video description, click on "more" and scroll down here, we see this option to show transcript. If we click here, the entire video will automatically appear, okay? We would have to take the entire video script and click on the three dots and remove the duration in minutes, okay? And what we would do here is copy the exact same title. We would paste it into ChatGPT, but first we would tell it, "I want you to translate this script, but I want you to It's important that you don't copy the script exactly because otherwise we'll script exactly because otherwise we'll have copyright issues . [Music] Just get inspired." We would have two colons and we would put the whole script there, and ChatGPT would automatically start creating the script in a matter of seconds. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence that I'm sure watching this video know. It's an artificial intelligence that you can have a paid option. I have the paid option because I automated channels, but more in my day-to- day work. But if you're starting from scratch, you can also use it with the free plan because it does a really, really good job. Let's see what it's done for us. If you notice, it's created sentences for us, okay? It's created quite a few. So, now Since it already has an inspiration and knows what we inspiration and knows what we want, let's tell it to want, let's tell it to create more sentences from scratch using the have now. Let's see. And now it would start generating more sentences completely from scratch. Notice, it's already generating new sentences that no one has ever made before because this artificial intelligence is doing its work entirely from scratch. It's if you're going to replicate this channel, you should focus on creating a long script, because if we're going to make a 40-minute script, we ca n't make a shorter one. So, what we would do is play around with Chat GPT and create more and more sentences related to what the video will be about. Let's move on to point number three, which is the voiceovers? We're going to do them with artificial intelligence, mainly with Leven Labs. Leven Labs is one of the best your channels. Currently, with my network of channels, I'm doing more €1,000 to €20,000 per month, and all the channels are made with Eleven Labs. Eleven Labs is this artificial intelligence we're seeing here. And this artificial intelligence has several plans, okay? It has several use it for free at the beginning, but if you're going to make very long videos, in the end you'll have to pay for a subscription. The subscriptions are down here. If we go to subscriptions and see that, well, there's the starter plan, which is $5 per month. It's not shown here because it's the one I have, which is the free one. Then there are plans for $ per month, which, if you look, give you 100,000 credits, you have 100 minutes to make $, so it's really good because it would be about $3 or $5 per video, for a 40-minute or 30- minute video. So it would be really good. Then you have plans for $100 per month, which are the pro plans, and then if we scroll down, we have this one... 330 a month and this 1300 which I absolutely do not recommend, especially now that you're starting from scratch. But so you can see how it works, if we go here to the text-to-speech, okay? Here we can generate anything, okay? Let's delete this and I'm going to add "I hope you're Let's delete this and I'm going to add "I hope you're enjoying the video. Like and subscribe." Subscribe. Okay. If I go here now and select the voices from the beginning of time, look, it sounds really image you want to project on your channel, you can select one voice or another, okay? We see that there are tons and tons of voices. Are you looking for a friendly and convincing narration? Look, it's incredible. It sounds like a real person venturing into the Amazon. Look. Okay, we would go with this one by David Martín, okay? Let's see how it sounds. Okay, we shouldn't click on it. Now to generate speech, which is generating the voice. Okay, I hope you're enjoying the video. Like and subscribe. I hope you're enjoying the video. Like and subscribe. Amazing, right? So, here's where we'd have to put the entire script, okay? What we would do is copy and paste what Chat GPT gave us and click on generate speech, and there we would have the voiceovers for our videos. probably because you want to make a living from this business model or earn extra income without having to invest a lot of your own capital. It was the same case as Nicole, who scaled to more than €7,000 a month while working, or also someone who scaled to more than €5,000 a month while also working, or many other who are also generating thousands of euros every month. So if you want access to calls with me, more than 20 hours of training, and a constantly growing community, write to me on Instagram. You'll find the word "stoicism" in the description, and that's where I'll help you put together an action plan. this short masterclass where I want to show you the entire process we use to edit one of these videos. I'm the editor for Erica Lanis's channel, but in this case, I want to show you how this process is done as well. Now, the application we're going to use is called Capcode; however, I think this is the most basic application you can use. If you Resolve, or Premiere Pro, believe me, it will undoubtedly be the same process for case, the first thing we have to do is, obviously, have our material. In this case, I already have the images I'm going to use, the audio made with Eleev Labs, and, of course, the song. We're going to go over each of these points in detail. The first thing is that we have to create that project, and once we have it, we're going to import all the material. We add the song; we're going to click on import. We select We've selected all the images, the song, and the audio, and now we have all our material. The first thing we need to do is drag the images and then the audio with Eleeven Labs' voiceover. Here it is. If you notice, you can see the divisions between phrases. So, what you have to do here is adjust the timing of each image on screen so that it matches what's being said in the audio, right? We'll align this here, for example, this here, this here, and we'll cut this part. Obviously, this is just an example, but you really have to select your respective images and audio and align them. It's very important that what you 're showing on screen is heard. Because if it's not consistent, for example, if you're talking about exercising and you're showing an image of a kitchen, a plate noticeable in the video. So, be careful with what you put on screen, as it has to be consistent with what's being said. In this case, the audio is about a person, or it's talking about exercise, or the importance of exercise in a sedentary lifestyle. Obviously, the images have to be related to this. In this case, if you notice, all the images are of a person training, and some are of just that: a person with a sedentary job. So, pay close attention to this; don't just add images randomly. Make them meaningful and, of course, audio you're using. Now, once we have this set up, as an additional step, you can add effects to the images to make the video much more dynamic. In this case, you'll go to the effects section, and, for example, we'll go to motion, and to this we can add 3D zoom, for example. We add them one by one. There we add another type of zoom, and now you have to wait for that image to process. And once it's processed, look, you have it like this . Obviously, these are very interesting effects, but they're simply to add a bit of dynamism. Make sure the shot isn't too static. Once you have everything set up, take enough time to make sure the video looks good. However, find a balance between the editing process and the remember, the strategy for this type of channel is to produce videos as quickly and long as possible. suitable balance, because it doesn't make sense to spend all day editing these kinds of videos. Something very important that isn't always given attention is choosing a good music track. You have to find a track that matches the topic of the video, or especially the emotions it conveys. If, for example, this audio is a critique of people who have a sedentary lifestyle and don't exercise, then obviously it would be a So, you have to choose a track that makes sense. And for example, I put this one here. Also, remember to lower the volume because this audio track... It can actually muddy the audio of the video itself. So, let's be careful to lower the volume of the audio track enough so it doesn't interfere with the voiceover in 11 Laps. We can even raise the volume a little to further emphasize the difference and prevent it from getting muddy. With the B key, you can make a cut and remove some of the audio here, add a small transition, there it is, make sure it looks appropriate, and that way we'd have the edit done. But what I'm saying is, the more time you dedicate to editing a video, the better it will be . So find a good time to get a good result, because this will be reflected entirely in retention, and of course, this will also affect your CPM, your RPM, and especially how much you spend. The longer you keep people on the platform, the more they 'll pay you. That's why we need good retention in our videos. And now, moving on to the next step, which is creating automatic subtitles. To create the Adding subtitles is quite simple. We'll go to the subtitles section here. simply click " Generate." It will start loading automatically, and as you can see, it doesn't take long. Obviously, the longer the video, the longer the subtitle generation will take . As you can see, this is what CapCut creates for us. These are very simple subtitles, but they don't need to be incredibly elaborate. Just decent appearance, for example, an lost in the video, they're fine. And for example, we can also add an animation, maybe this one, for instance. There we have it. As you can see, we already have the basic edit of our video. How many hours a day do you spend sitting in front of a screen? Now, this is the basic edit. In this case, this analyzed. However, believe me, the methodology is exactly the same. Once you have all The images, or in this case, the phrases, and your voiceover recorded with 11 laps, the editing process is exactly the same. And subtitles, since we're talking about the channel using phrases, also take the video looks good aesthetically. Again, I repeat, the more time you dedicate to editing, the better the result will be. So, I recommend that you dedicate enough time to ensure your videos are of excellent quality. And well, this would be the editing process for a video of this type. Once we have the images, the audio track, the subtitles, and structure that all videos should have ; we simply have to export it. We'll click on export, select where we're going to save it, give it a title—for example, here we'll put "exercise." And in at their defaults, select the resolution you want, and click export. And that's it, that would be the whole process. You just have to wait for it to finish. Once the video is exported, you can start publishing it on YouTube. Now let's move on to the sixth step, which is creating the thumbnails. We'll leverage ChatGPT's artificial intelligence to do this. ChatGPT has released a new feature that lets you create 'll take a reference image. In this case, we'll copy it, go to ChatGPT, paste it, and add the command, "Create this paste it, and add the command, "Create this thumbnail for me from scratch, but in Spanish." It's thumbnail for me from scratch, but in Spanish." It's important that you change the details and important that you change the details and that the people are a little different. Spot. I don't want any problems. Regarding automatically start generating the thumbnail in a short time. If you look closely, it's already generating the thumbnail. Look, he's made this miniature and he's done it badly. It's normal, we haven't given it a specific prompt and I did it on purpose so you can see that you have to give more details to the exactly what to do, he won't do it. So, we're mainly going to tell him to do it in miniature format. First of all, we would have to give it the thumbnail format. We're going to put "I don't like it". First of all, make it for me in 720 pixel format. And we're going to add it later. I want you to change the background image of the boys and make it boys and make it reference image. Okay? And now what we're going to do is copy it again, okay? And we're going to put it here, okay? We're going to copy it, paste it again here, and when it loads we're going to click on GPT chat to make the thumbnail of nine. Look, he's made the miniature again from scratch and I don't really like it . Because? Because the letters haven't lined up properly. So, we're going to square the thumbnail, and then please make sure the people are the same as in the image I've people are the same as in the image I've put here, okay? And then what we're going to do is go to the thumbnail here and copy this exactly, okay? We're going to copy it, we're going to paste it here, okay? And when it's loaded, we're going to generate it, okay? It's already generating it and will now start generating the thumbnail again. Okay, we see that the thumbnail has now been generated again, right? And again, he has a little trouble adjusting the texts. At this point, you would tell him to adjust the text so that everything is visible, but take a look at the image, okay? Notice that he has done a great job image, okay? Notice that he has done a great job and has created two people of you would have to do here is refine it a little, make the text smaller so that it shows up in the thumbnail. Here it's up to you to see how you play with GPT chat. We will now move on to the seventh step, which is the optimization of descriptions, titles, and tags. For the topic of tags we are also going to use the topic of tags we are also going to use Chat GPTL and we are going to put give me Chat GPTL and we are going to put give me the 20 best the 20 best SEO tags of stoicism. Okay, let's give it a try and see what it generates. Okay, we see that it's already generating the labels very well, right? Stoicism, Stoic philosophy, development. Okay, perfect. We could use this both in our videos and in our channel labels. In terms of description, I recommend that you send the entire script to the GPT chat and tell it to give you an optimal description. Personally, what I do on my channels is simply post the first three paragraphs of the text and that's it. Because? Because the first 30 seconds are usually the most important 30 seconds of the video and are generally where they get the most SEO. We're going to ask him to give us a channel description. Write me an Write me an SEO description for my stoicism channel. Look, it's already starting to create the description. Here you can the description. Here you can select what you like best, okay? put it here, here you would learn such and such, but I do like this quite a lot and I for my channel. And then at the title level what I would do is copy the title exactly, paste it here to chat GPT and add "make me the same chat GPT and add "make me the same title" in Spanish, adapted for SEO. Okay, notice that it's already starting to generate after this to give us several variations. For example, give me 10 variations, okay? And it starts generating 10 titles, okay? And here we would select the one we like best. And at this point in the video I have a special surprise, because there are two types of people. The first type of people will continue to consume content thinking it is productive, but they will not take action. And the second type of people are people who are going to take something: I'm offering a free call where we help join our community of people who are creating their own automated channels and are able to make a living from them, such as Alex, who is who scaled up to more than €7,000 a than €2,000 a month, and many other people who are generating income. call where we'll put together the action plan, I recommend you go to the first link in the description because that's where you'll be able to do it.
