This video is different from other videos because I will also give proper guidance on how to do it. Look, there are two college students in the skills team itself who work with us using Chat GBT and give pro level output. That's why we have kept him in our team. Look, 100 million or about 10 crore people use GBT chat every week from India only. But most people are using it just for time pass and to get basic assignments and messages written.

Scriptwriting is a skill that is learned and regardless, GBT has shortened the learning curve of the skill by 10 times. Now tell me one thing, do you what is the biggest problem of YouTube creators in today's world? Time a successful creator. Be it a cooking channel, a finance channel or an education channel.

And this gap is your opportunity. Look, today with the help of AI you your opportunity. Look, today with the help of AI you see what exactly you have to do in this. Look, first of all, choose a specific niche. That niche could be finance, tech tutorials, career advice, motivational, anything. Whatever your interest area is. Then find mid-sized creators in that niche who have between 500 and 5 lakh subscribers. This is because these people are already popular. They are already earning and they need content from time to time. But they do not have a dedicated team. The AI ​​tools you can use for this purpose are for refining the tone and human sounding edits and ppit. To verify AI facts and current stats. So I would suggest using a combination of all three tools so that the output is of professional level. Now listen to a prop for this and you can directly copy and paste it into your AI tools. Act as a highly experienced YouTube scriptwriter. Write a 10 minute 2000 word engaging script on this topic for a this niche channel. The tone should be: Conversational, Educational, Motivational Include a strong hook in the first 30 seconds. Three main points with real world examples and a strong CT at the end language English. Simply replace the topic niche and tone according to your needs and you will have a solid first draft. But you also have to verify every fact and every data to cross check it. Don't blindly deliver that draft. Watch three videos on YouTube. You will understand the whole game of script writing. Then use AI and use this knowledge. Then you will get the output pro level.

And when you sit in India and serve clients who pay in dollars, you also get the benefit of currency and this will be your biggest advantage. Method Number to Make Money by Creating YouTube Thumbnails with AI. Guys, look at all these thumbnails. All chats are created from GBT. Chat GBT has become very advanced. At present, students and freshers can easily get it in the market from ₹150 to ₹900. By looking at his work samples. There are millions of creators. Everyone uploads videos regularly. You can imagine how big the market is. All you need to do is learn how to create next level thumbnails with AI. I am giving you three of the best free tutorials. With which you will learn the entire skill in one day. Creating pro level thumbnails with AI. Look at the screen. You have to watch these three videos and practice.

When we asked for the rates, they were quite reasonable and the work was also pro level. Then we hired him. You have to do the same. n't take a big creator like Dhruv Brathi directly to mail. Some doctor's channel, some lawyer's channel, some politician's channel, these people have a lot of money. They just need a thumbnail designer at a low cost. So mail them. If you don't get the job then let me know. If you haven't liked the video yet, please do so. As quickly as possible. Have to do 1 million. If it reaches 1 million, we will launch a series in which [Sangeet] will come live on the channel weekly and teach real-time skills. Subscribe to the tutorial type channel and like the video. Now let's move on to method number three and this one is a little different and honestly, I think this is the most underrated opportunity in this entire list because people do not know about this role and this is its biggest advantage. Listen, suppose there is a startup founder who wants to launch his product. He needs competitive analysis, market size data, customer pain points, pricing benchmarks and a clean summary that he can give to his team. Now it will take him at least 3 to 4 days to do this work alone. And if you hire a professional research firm, a huge budget is spent. But with the help of GBT, you can get this work delivered professionally in one to two days. Now who does this work normally? AI Research Assistant. What do you do in this role? You gather information for businesses and founders. You organize it and GPD synthesizes, compares , and summarizes data. But not just chat gpd perplexity. Use it too. For real time web research as it pulls current data which Chat GPT sometimes misses and use Gamma to convert the final report into a polished presentation without any design skills and ProPrep which you can use for research reports is here Act as a market research analyst Research the industry market in India for 2026 Include market size Top three competitors Customer pain points Pricing benchmarks and three key opportunities and present findings in a structured report format with herrings. Enter this into Propt Perplexity and you will get an answer with sources in return. Then get it polished with a clot. Then get Gama to make a good presentation of it. Believe me, the demand for this role is so high that it is actively listed on platforms like Top 10 and People. affects business decisions such as revenue and growth strategies. So clients pay seriously for this work. And I'd also like to share a smart outreach tip for finding clients. Look, apply the Founder or CEO filter to Lindin. Look at their recent posts and leave some genuine comments on them. Then send a DM. I connected with your specific post. I create AI assisted research reports and give the first report away for free. See if it works for you or not. This approach works because the other party first reads your work and then pitches it. So I understood the work of a research assistant. Now there is another method which I personally find most interesting because in this neither do you have to show your face nor do you have to work like a traditional employee. Look there's a YouTube channel called Fern that uses 3D animation. He makes crime documentaries and the creator 's face never appears on screen. This is the power of faceless YouTube channels. And in 2026 AI has made it genuinely very accessible. For all of us too. The model is very simple. Choose a niche. Finance, Tech, AI Tools, Career Advice, Motivation, History, Crime, Science – anything that has a loyal audience base. Then follow this exact work flow step by step. Step number one, put this exact prop in Chat GPT. Write a 10-minute YouTube script on the topic, starting with a shocking fact and data as a hook. Use a conversational tone through the script, include three key points with examples, and end with a strong CTA, no Jagan. This app will create the first draft of your script. Now step number two voice over. So for this 11 labs or move. Generate professional AI voices that are realistic, human sounding, and available in multiple accents and languages. Get him to for the script you created in step number one. Step number three visuals. For this you can get free stock footage from Pixlr or Pix Base or Lanado. You can also create AI generated images and add them according to the topic. Step number four is editing and in this you can add all the things in CPC or InShot. Simply add voice-overs, visuals, and everything else layer by layer, and captions are automatically added. After that, in step number five, just upload the final video and for the thumbnail, use CWA to create a nice related thumbnail and it was that simple to make a video with the help of AI. No face cam required, no lighting setup, no editing studio. The entire setup is available for free or at a very low cost. Watch these three creators make reels with AI. By training our model, we have done complete automation. Like this first Varun Maya watch in short section on their channel. All these short videos are made with Varun's AI iFt. From voice to script, everything is done with AI. Their team just does the editing and uploading work manually. And this is not just the story of one person. A channel that went from zero to 1 lakh subscribers in 9 months. His top videos generated millions of views just by using AI tools. works. Now you might be thinking that since many people are already doing it, there will be more competition. But this remains a big myth. A recent study revealed that 72% of Genji viewers consider content quality more important than creator visibility. Meaning, if your content is valuable then you are relevant. Whether you are on screen or not. But the question arises that how will it be monetized? So Adsense, Affiliate Links, Sponsorships these three different income streams can be started from a single channel. Method Number Five Virtual Assistant for International Founders. This last one is really the quickest method to start with and is perfect for those just starting out on their skill-building journey. So see what happens in this ? Suppose Karo is a founder who is running a SaaS product or e-commerce brand or agency. He gets 100 small digital tasks throughout the day. Sometimes it's replying to emails, sometimes scheduling content on Lyndon and Instagram, setting up meetings with someone, compiling research, creating reports, and for all this they need a dedicated person. But hiring someone locally for this may prove very expensive for them. That's why they hire remote virtual assistants. And Chat GPT has greatly improved both the speed and quality of this work. Now listen, a virtual assistant that uses AI can do a lot more work in the same time using these exact tools. So first of all, Chat GPT will be So first of all, Chat GPT will be Then perplexity. AI for quick research tasks where real-time accuracy is required. Then gma.i to create reports and presentations without designing skills and finally Notion AI to organize client tasks and create SOPs. And this pro prop is directly useful in your end daily tasks. I Am a Virtual Assistant for Founders Name an Industry Founder. Then, whatever industry the founder is in, draft a professional email reply to this message. professional email reply to this message. Paste the email in a friendly, concise, and clear tone. Next, use this prompt in Chat JBD. In just a few minutes, you'll have a polished email ready, which you can then modify accordingly.

This can become a complete launch pad for you. And listen, for those who have watched the video till here, there is a bonus method which people have been almost ignoring till now. And it's going to be really big in 2026. Instagram has launched a feature called Subscriptions. This means you can directly charge monthly fees from your followers. For any exclusive content, you don't have to be a big celebrity for this. The model is simple. Post consistent valuable content in a niche. AI tools, freelancing tips, career advice, finance, anything. And as your cult audience builds, create a VIP club or inner circle with exclusive posts, Reels, Q&A sessions, or weekly resources that only subscribers can access, and Chat GPT can be your backbone throughout this process. Like you can get content ideas from it , get captions written, create weekly resource PDFs. So basically you can just focus on strategy and consistency. Rest almost every work is handled very well by Chat GBT. And this model is also powerful because it provides recurring income. Once you acquire a subscriber, he generates monthly income without your having to look for new clients again and again. This is an add on method. Meaning you can combine it with any existing method.
