## Summary

This video reveals a step-by-step system for growing a YouTube Shorts channel from scratch, achieving over 800 million views and $75,000 in five months. The creator emphasizes that this is not a get-rich scheme and focuses on building channel trust, finding trending content, and using retention psychology.

### Key Points

- **Not a get-rich scheme** [00:19] — The creator states it took 5 months to achieve the results, and the video is not for those seeking quick success.
- **Building channel trust** [00:36] — Instead of avoiding shadowban, focus on building trust: use an old Google account or warm up a new one for 5–7 days with natural activity (watching, liking, commenting).
- **Channel setup essentials** [01:33] — Verify phone number in settings > channel > feature eligibility. Use a face or recognizable figure for logo; design a simple banner with borders in Canva.
- **Monetization strategy** [03:06] — Goal: 1,000 subscribers and 10 million views for monetization. The creator got monetized in under 30 days by focusing on trending videos.
- **Finding trending videos** [03:36] — Search for heartwarming/heroic stories on YouTube Shorts, find viral videos, and recreate them (not steal). Recreate to avoid copyright strikes.
- **Recreating videos vs stealing** [04:08] — Stealing videos gets the channel killed; recreating complies with policies. Example: a story about a boy who wants a basketball hoop—the creator's version got more views than the original.
- **Script creation** [05:51] — Get the transcript of the model video, add a personal spin, or use ChatGPT to rewrite. Always review AI-generated content for mistakes.
- **Voiceover generation (Google AI Studio)** [06:17] — Free and unlimited. Use playground > text to speech, select a single speaker, paste script, choose voice, run, and download.
- **Finding footage** [06:49] — Extract characters from the story, convert to 3D style using ChatGPT, then separate characters. Generate scene images using Whisk (free) or Nano Banana Pro.
- **Turning images to video (Grock)** [08:50] — Create free Grock account, turn off auto video generation in settings, use imagine > video mode, set 9:16 aspect ratio, paste prompt and upload image—10 free generations/day.
- **Editing in CapCut** [09:46] — Import voiceover and visuals, adjust pacing (add/cut pauses), arrange clips to match voiceover, add original image + emoji at end, sound effects, transitions, captions, and background music.
- **Workflow efficiency** [11:51] — The whole process takes about 60 minutes. On good days, the creator makes over $2,000 from 60 minutes of work.
- **RPM and audience targeting** [12:22] — YouTube pays based on RPM (revenue per 1,000 views). English-speaking countries (US, UK, Australia) have higher RPMs, so use English voiceovers and captions. Never use VPN—it doesn't help and triggers suspicion.
- **Uploading process** [13:28] — Use YouTube app: tap +, select video, choose music from YouTube library (safe), write title with keywords, add #shorts hashtag, set thumbnail from best moment, mark audience correctly (not made for kids unless true), upload.
- **Consistency and channel restart** [14:42] — Post at least one video daily, max three per day to avoid spam detection. If a channel doesn't grow in the first month (stuck at zero/1K/30K/100K views), start a new channel—the algorithm labels early performance.
- **Retention psychology** [16:00] — YouTube only cares about retention. Three psychological parts: hook (first 3 seconds—use audio+visual+text hook), body (fast pacing, cuts, zooms), reward (payoff at end, cut immediately after, optional CTA).

### Conclusion

You can achieve significant growth on YouTube Shorts by using a system of finding trending stories, recreating them with AI tools, and applying retention psychology. The key is consistency and focusing on audience retention, not just views.

## Transcript

I broke the YouTube algorithm, getting
over 800 million views with over 600,000
subscribers. In 5 months, I've made
close to $75,000.
In this video, I'm going to reveal all
the secrets, including a simple niche
that anyone can start today, even if you
know nothing about YouTube automation.
All right, before we get into the actual
video, I want to mention that this is
not a get-rich scheme. It took me 5
months to achieve this result. So, if
you're for quick success, then I'm
sorry. This video is not for you. Let's
get started. All right, we're going to
start with creating the channel. This is
simple, and I know anyone can do it. But
there are a few things you need to do to
avoid your channel from getting zero
views. The thing is, YouTube does not
officially confirm shadowbanning the way
other platforms do. What usually happens
is that new channels get limited initial
reach. So, instead of avoiding
shadowban, what you really want is
building channel trust from day one.
Here's how to properly set up your
YouTube channel to avoid triggering low
trust signals. Use an old Google account
that has normal activity history. Why?
Older accounts have search history,
watch history, comment history, natural
behavior patterns that builds trust. But
if you don't have an old account, then
here's what I'll recommend. Create a
brand new account, but warm it up for 5
7 days to build those histories. I mean,
watch videos daily, like videos, comment
naturally, subscribe to the channel you
love, and avoid uploading immediately.
Act like a real human. Next, go to
settings,
channel,
and feature eligibility.
Make sure you verify your phone number.
Don't just leave it. Unverified channels
look low trust. Now, the keywords, I'm
going to be honest with you, I didn't
add any keywords here. Per my
experience, I don't think this really
matters for a short channel, but you can
go ahead and add some keywords later on,
but right now, I need you to follow what
I'm showing. For the logo and channel
banner, you need to keep it simple.
Yeah, don't make things complicated. So,
for the logo, I recommend you use a face
or a recognizable figure. The human
brain is obsessed with faces. We even
imagine faces in random objects. So, if
your channel has a face or a character,
your audience will notice you faster and
click more often. I'm going to use this.
And since the image is in a square
shape, there's no need to resize it.
I'll just upload it here.
For the banner, just open Canva. In the
search bar, simply enter YouTube banner.
Now, you're going to choose the one you
like here, but you need to make sure it
has borders like this one. The reason is
we want the banner to show on all
devices. I'm going to go with this one
here. Now, just change the text and the
color to your preference. Remember to
keep everything in this space. All
right. You're going to download it by
clicking share. Click on download.
And here, click download again. Now you
can upload it here and hit publish.
If you've completed this first step,
congratulations. You're already ahead of
the 99% of people you say they'll start
but never do. All right, we're going to
move on to the next step, but I kindly
ask you to use 5 seconds of your time to
like the video and subscribe to the
channel. Now that your channel is ready,
our next focus is to get monetized. You
all know the rules, so we need a
strategy to get 1,000 subscribers and at
least 10 million views before we can get
monetized. That sounds like a lot, but
relax. I got this exact channel
monetized in less than 30 days, and I've
achieved this result in 5 months. Just
chill. You know what? Instead of wasting
time warming up your account, what I
want you to do is to use that time to
find trending videos. Let me show you
the actual example I used to create one
of my recent videos that's currently at
37 million views. You're going to open
YouTube on your new account, but if
you're doing this on an old account, I
recommend you do this incognito. This
way, your feed is not personalized and
YouTube shows you what is actually
trending. Next, search for heartwarming
or heroic stories or any story you like.
Click on shorts. Now, instead of finding
the best topic, we'll do this instead.
We're going to find videos that are
going viral and recreate them. So, keep
scrolling and once you get the trending
video, open up the description to see
the total views and when it was posted.
Once you get the video you like, then
it's time to recreate it. Let me show
you this worked for me. This is a video
I found some weeks ago, and it's a
simple story about a boy who dreams of
playing basketball. He really wants to
practice, but his parents can't afford
to buy him a basketball hoop. One day, a
kind neighbor shares his story on
Facebook and asks people for help.
Because of that kindness, the boy
finally gets the basketball hoop he
always dreamed of. As you can see, even
though this video is a month older, mine
has gotten more views. So, I repeated
this idea once per day, and I had
infinite ideas that are proven to work.
This strategy is so good because instead
of starting from scratch to get ideas
that are set up to fail, we reverse
engineer the virality of our video by
leveraging what's already working for
our audience. But here's where you need
to be careful. Notice why I asked you to
recreate instead of steal. If you steal
videos, YouTube kills your channel.
You're not only going to make no money,
but you'll also get hit by copyright
strikes. And when it happens like that,
YouTube might remove your channel. This
is why I never try stealing videos, but
recreate them to comply with the YouTube
policies and guidelines. But if this
step is complicated for you, then I
actually have a simple method I use with
AI to consistently find good video
topics. But I can't really share
everything here in this video because if
the exact strategy becomes public, a lot
of people will start copying it and the
niche could become saturated very
quickly. So I decided to leave that part
for people who are serious about doing
this. I've included that method along
with the entire workflow on Gumroad
where I break down everything step by
step. Just so you know, it's not free,
but inside you'll get the full system.
Plus, I've also added a private WhatsApp
group where you can share your channel
and I'll personally review it and help
you improve. The link will be in the
video description. And even if you don't
have any budget to spend, don't worry
because I use the strategy I'm showing
right now. So, where do I find script to
create my videos? It's simple. I get the
transcript of the video I'm modeling,
then add my own spin. I usually write
the script myself and you can also do
that. Yeah, that's better. But if you
can't go with that method, then you can
ask chatgpt to rewrite it for you. Just
make sure you read through. Yeah, AI
makes mistakes sometimes. Once the
script is ready, you can go ahead and
generate the voice over. I use Google AI
Studio for the voice. It's also 100%
free and unlimited. On the homepage, hit
on playground. Go to text to speech and
here pick the first option.
Select a single speaker from this tab
and then paste your script. Click here
to pick the voice you like.
Now you can hit the run button and
you'll get something like this.
>> She was in danger and only one kid saw
it in time.
>> All right, just hit the three dots and
select download to save it.
So where do you find footage for your
videos? First, I find the actual
characters in the story. Then change the
style to 3D. Let's use this story as an
example. First, I'll get the actual
characters. Sometimes they'll be in a
single image like this one. If it's not,
then you'll have to find them one by
one. Once I get the image, I'll then
give it to ChatgPT and ask it to convert
it to a 3D style. You can see it gave me
this image here, but separating it won't
be easy. So, I asked it to separate the
characters and give me three separate
characters.
I then opened it with the normal photo
software in my Windows, then separated
them one by one. If you can't use the
photo editor on your PC, you can also
use Canva.
Next, I asked it to give me visual
scenes for all the lines. And it gave me
these prompts, but you realize it gave
me eight scenes here. Meanwhile, the
scenes were supposed to be 10 because
the script has 10 lines. So, I asked it
to regenerate it and it finally gave me
10 scenes. This is why I always say you
should go through everything you
generate using AI. Now, we can generate
the visuals and then convert it into
videos. I'm going to be sincere with
you. I use Nano Banana Pro for this
step, but you can start with Whisk. It's
100% free and I think it's unlimited,
too. You can see that they're moving Wis
to Flow on this date. So, this step may
change a bit in future. All right. Start
by uploading all your characters here.
To add the next character, just hit on
this plus button.
Once done, just paste the prompt for the
first scene. Select the characters that
appear in the prompt. For instance, the
old man and the boy appeared in the
first prompt. So, I'll select those two
characters.
Now set the aspect ratio to 9 by6 and
generate.
Just repeat these same steps to generate
all the scene images. All right, now
let's turn your images into videos.
First, open Grock and create a free
account. You get around 10 free
generations per day, which is more than
enough for this process. Now, instead of
going straight to generate the video, do
this instead. Click on your profile icon
and go to settings. On the left side,
click behavior. Scroll down and turn
auto video generation off. This is
important because it gives you full
control and prevents you from wasting
your free generations. Now go back and
click on imagine from the left menu.
Click the image icon, then switch it to
video mode.
Make sure the aspect ratio is set to 9
by 16 vertica format for shorts. Next,
paste your prompt into the box and
upload the image you created using that
prompt.
Once everything is ready, click
generate. That's it. Repeat the same
steps to create the rest of your videos.
Now, moving to editing. Once you have
all the clips, you'll need to edit them.
To do this, you're going to open your
video editor, which is in this case Cap
Cut, but you can also use Premiere Pro,
Da Vinci, or any other app you prefer.
The main reason behind the editing isn't
just joining the clips to form a single
video, but to add value so YouTube won't
market as inauthentic content and avoid
our channel from being demonetized.
Start by importing the voice over and
the visuals which are the videos you
generated on Grock. Next, add the voice
over to the audio track. Now, instead of
going straight away to arrange the clips
on the top of the voiceover, you need to
do this instead. You need to listen to
the voice over and change the pacing by
adding pauses and cutting out pauses. I
do this to maintain the viewer's
attention for as long as possible.
Once you're cool with the voice over,
you can go ahead and arrange the clips
according to the voice over.
After arranging the clips to meet the
length of the voice over, I then add the
original image of the story at the end
and the mending heart emoji.
Now I can add sound effects to where it
is needed and add smooth transitions.
Always make sure to add captions.
Finally, add the background music.
Adjust the volume and you're done. You
just made your first video.
>> She was in danger and only one kid saw
it in time. [music] 9-year-old Owen had
just gotten off the bus on a snowy
afternoon. Two houses down, [music] he
saw his neighbor sitting at the bottom
of the steps. Something wasn't right.
The man [music] barely responded, so
Owen ran home and told his parents. They
rushed [music] back, brought him inside,
and called 911. Doctors later said a few
more [music] minutes could have changed
everything. When asked why he helped,
Owen said, "I just thought it was a good
idea.
This process takes me just about 60
minutes, and it's the only work I do for
one day. Honestly, YouTube shorts are
one of the easiest ways to make money
right now. On good days, I can make more
than $2,000 just by doing 60 minutes of
work, which is basically nothing. I've
put the entire workflow on Gumroad, and
you'll find the link in the video
description. We're already done with the
most difficult parts, so don't stop
there. Posting is definitely the easiest
part of the process, but you'd be
surprised how many people still mess it
up. First and foremost, the type of
content you post determines how much
your channel can earn. That's because
YouTube pays based on your RPM, which
stands for revenue per mele. In simple
terms, RPM is how much YouTube pays you
every time your video reaches 1,000
views. So, what affects your RPM? Your
audience. Views from some countries pay
more than others. For example,
English-speaking countries like the
United States, the United Kingdom, and
Australia usually have much higher RPMs
compared to many other parts of the
world. That's why using English
voiceovers and captions can help. The
more viewers you attract from
English-speaking countries, the higher
your chances of increasing your RPM. But
you need to pay attention. Never use a
VPN to upload your content. I repeat,
never. Why? First, it can signal to the
algorithm that your activity looks
suspicious or automated. Second, it
doesn't even help. A VPN only changes
where your video is uploaded from, not
where it's actually watched. An RPM is
based on where your viewers are, not
your upload location. So, if you want a
higher RPM, focus on creating content
that attracts English-speaking
audiences. Now that you understand that,
open the YouTube app on your phone and
tap the plus icon. Select the video you
created and tap next. Then choose a song
if you'd like. Don't worry about
copyright. Music from the YouTube audio
library is safe to use. Everything in
the YouTube library is cleared for
creators. When entering your title, make
sure it contains highly searched
keywords. And of course, you'll also
find how to pick the best titles in the
workflow on Gumroad. For hashtags, the
only hashtag I use here is just #
shorts, but you can include one or two
extra if you want. Sometimes I also put
#heartwarming or #h heroic stories, but
honestly hashtags don't really affect
the video that much. So what you need to
do next is to scroll through the
timestamps to find the best moment you
think people will click and set it as a
thumbnail. This can help your video keep
getting traffic even after the algorithm
slows down. Next, make sure you check
the correct audience setting. It's
important that your content is not
marked for YouTube kids unless it's
actually made for children. This helps
the algorithm send your video to the
right audience. After that, you can
ignore the rest of the settings and
simply tap upload short. Once it's
posted, don't keep re-watching your own
video. Just leave it alone and let the
algorithm do its job. Congratulations,
you've posted your first video. Now,
repeat the same process and aim to post
at least one video every day. This
signals to YouTube that you're
consistent [music] and serious about
creating content. YouTube always favors
long-term consistency over random viral
moments. You can post more if you want,
especially on Fridays and weekends since
these are the days most people watch
shorts. Just don't post more than three
videos per day. Uploading too many at
once can look unnatural and may trigger
spam detection. Finally, the most
important lesson I learned myself is
that if your channel doesn't grow within
the first month and keeps getting stuck
at zero, 1K views, 30K views, or even
100K views jail, the best move is to
start a new channel or use a different
account. Why? YouTube algorithm puts
invisible labels on your channel based
on your early videos performance. If you
consistently upload videos that get low
views, the system may start to assume
your content only appeals to a small
audience. And once that pattern is
established, it can be harder to break
out of it. If you keep uploading content
that gets low views, then the system
learns that your channel is only
relevant to a very small audience. It
won't push it anymore. Even if your
later videos are really good, honestly,
I restarted this three times before
succeeding this channel, but this varies
from person to person. The most
important thing is to keep going and
improving your videos. And now moving on
to our secret tip that took me from this
to this. This last step might shift the
way you see YouTube entirely. It's about
posting in a way that keeps people glued
to their screens. I call it retention
psychology. Think of the YouTube
algorithm as a relentless machine. It
doesn't care about your niche, your
personality, or even your subscriber
count. It only cares about one thing,
which is retention. If viewers stay on
your video, YouTube pushes it to more
people. If they swipe away early or only
watch small parts, the algorithm slows
down or stops pushing it completely.
That's it. It's really that simple. And
you don't have to guess. You can check
this yourself. Click on the video you
uploaded and switch to engagement.
Scroll down and you'll see your audience
retention graph. That graph tells you
everything. If the line drops fast, it
means people are leaving quickly. And
when that happens, YouTube shows your
video to fewer people, which also means
less money. This is where the retention
psychology comes in. We can take
psychology and turn it on our side to
keep people watching as long as
possible. And if you want to understand,
you need to think in terms of this.
Every video has three psychological
parts. the hook, the body, and reward.
The first one is the hook, and it's the
first 3 seconds of your video. And
honestly, it matters more than the rest
of the video combined. This is where you
either grab the viewer or lose them. If
you upload a 30-se secondond video, but
people scroll away at the 3se secondond
mark, the remaining 27 seconds will
never be seen. It could be that those 27
seconds were the best video ever, but
your viewers will never find out because
they scrolled. What's even worse is
this. Those 27 seconds make up almost
your entire video. If people never watch
them, your overall retention drops hard.
And when that happens, the algorithm
reads it as a weak hook, which kills
your chances of going viral. That's why
the first few seconds matter so much.
You need to give people a reason to stay
immediately. Use an audio hook, a visual
hook, and a text hook all at once. When
you combine all three at once, the
viewer's brain gets hit with curiosity
before their thumb even thinks about
scrolling. Now, once you've captured
their attention, you move into the
second part of the video, the body. The
easiest way to build a strong body is to
use clips that are universal and easy to
understand right away. No confusion, no
slow buildup. Keep the pacing fast. Use
frequent cuts. Add small zooms. Keep
things moving so there's no dead space.
And now the final part, the reward. The
reward is the ending of your video. This
is where you lock in engagement. Put
your most rewarding or most outrageous
moment at the very end so the viewer
feels payoff. Always cut the video
immediately after the payoff so you
don't drug out your own time. You can
also ask one simple call to action like
asking them to comment or subscribe, but
never overload the viewers. Remember,
it's all about retention. And with that
said, I recommend you rewatch the video
again to understand everything clearly.
