YouTube Automation Success Story: $51k in 48 Days — Full Breakdown & Transcript

[00:01] where you're from, how old you are, and when you started your YouTube channel. >> So, I'm from the Dominican Republic. I'm 20 years old. I just started YouTube 20 years old. I just started YouTube like around May of 2025. Yeah, and when

[00:13] >> My first monetized channel, I just get it on 23rd of February. What does that monetized channel look like right now? From the day I just got monetized till this day, that that right now is 11 of

[00:26] April, I have made $51,000 in just 48 days. Holy [ __ ] dude. That's a very hard number to believe. Do you mind screen sharing that?

[00:40] >> it, honestly. You don't believe it? >> I'm here to show you that I'm not lying. This is the graph of my channel, and and as you can see, it just got 8.8 million as you can see, it just got 8.8 million views, and it just made me $51,000

[00:53] views, and it just made me $51,000 in 40 48 or or 43 days. Can you go to settings and give them the Romero special, and prove to the people that believe. Yeah, this is hard to believe even to

[01:06] This is the moment when we go down there, and we just see Jamaican dollars. But but right now As you can see, guys, this is actually USD. So, if we go to anything else, for example, Uruguayan pesos, the classic,

[01:21] we can actually see that this says $2 million, and that is not true, because if I was making $2 million, I will be talking with Jeff Bezos, not not with Carlos. You know? That's crazy. Well, yeah.

[01:33] uh if if we just go back, and we just actually go back again to to USD, we can actually see that is the exact same amount. $51,000

[01:45] in 48 days, Raleigh. That's crazy, bro. That's insane, bro. Honestly, that's insane. I wasn't expecting this much success, because I just failed brutally seven [ __ ] times before achieving this here, bro. This is this is insane.

[01:59] Like, how much were you making? What did your life look like? Two years ago, when I was 18 years old, I was working in a supermarket. I was the guy that refills for people that actually don't know, I'm

[02:13] Republic is a third world country. And and as you may know, here the salaries are [ __ ] dog [ __ ] Are dog [ __ ] From only my salary, I was making $100

[02:25] a month? >> a month. I was making more because of people just giving me tips. And I was making from that 200, 300 a And I was making from that 200, 300 a month? All right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[02:38] Yeah. It was all right. Yeah, yeah. $200 a month of of this, bro. After that, I just bought a cheap laptop, got like really really good at editing, and I just came across with you with you with your channel and with your

[02:52] with your info. I knew YouTube automation from before, because I just heard it from some gurus, and I just knew the term, but I you were like the first channel that I just found that was specifically for for for that. And I and

[03:06] you used the like like the Romero special, where you just go to and all that stuff, and I just think like, "Damn, this guy used to look legit, honestly." And after that, I just got into you into your community, and I

[03:20] just started seeing all the videos and all the stuff and all the value that you start learning. And after that, I just started my first YouTube channel. It just it failed. It failed.

[03:32] It didn't perform at all. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah, and how many how many channels did did you launch since June of last year to like eventually this successful one? Do you know how many it was? I just launched seven channels, and all of them

[03:45] Do you remember do you remember the niches that you started with like your first automation ones? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um my first automation ones were two celebrities, one from cruise ships like

[03:59] the like old people who just travel. Yeah, cruise ship. Yeah. Sorry if you go on cruises. Sorry, sorry. I'm not I don't have anything against like cruise ships. I want to go to

[04:11] >> When you're older. You want to go to one when you're older. Exact exactly, know? But but don't feel bad. So, uh cruise ships, also battle cruise, battle cruise ship Uh battle cruise

[04:27] States and all that stuff. I was starting another channel or drug cartels from Mexico and all that stuff. One of of motivation. Um and what is what was seven, but I don't remember what was the seventh. Yeah, that's fine. It's fine.

[04:42] Yeah, yeah, yeah. With all those failed YouTube channels, what did you like failure, bro. Seven channels, low-key, I would have probably gave up, too. seven I would have probably gave up. So, what

[04:55] was it? What did you learn from that, man? Bro, I learned that I'm a blockhead, honestly. That that I'm [ __ ] stupid. And that I and that I have a really high tolerance to failure, honestly. Yeah, which is a

[05:09] good thing, honestly, because that just means that I can start any business and and keep grinding until I see success. But yeah, one of the main things that I just learned was that I need to actually put effort in doing the things, because

[05:23] because honestly, the channels that I was making, they didn't perform what they deserved, honestly, because they were like ASMR. You know? A lot of [ __ ] A lot of [ __ ] channels. A lot of channels that I didn't put like too much

[05:35] too much effort on it. And I was just copying a lot of all of my competitors. Before, it it just worked, but right now Yeah, that's true. That's true. You you did come into YouTube automation at least at

[05:47] popping, ChatGPT, and it was just content. That was like it worked. It was it was just that easy. Yeah, it was like really easy to succeed. But for some reason, it was easy, but it

[06:01] wasn't easy for me for whatever reason. I don't know why. So, okay. So, you would say after all of those failed channels, you would just say that low quality was like the thing you [ __ ] up on the most? Yeah. 100%.

[06:14] Like low quality, like not thinking about the ideas, not taking the time to think on on on a good video, bro. People are so brain dead that they really think that if it if they just copy, bro, there are a lot of channels that are copying

[06:28] my channel right now. Mhm. And guess what, bro? They're not making either 1/3 of what of the views that I'm making. >> Yeah. Because, bro, if you copy people, goes back to the point. That goes back to the point. A year ago, that [ __ ]

[06:44] worked. You know, you would have got views, but since YouTube implemented Gemini, they they know about information gain, they know about, you know, our strategy. That got patched. And moving on from that then, you know, that might

[06:56] like, "Okay, if you already dominate this niche, does that mean that I can't get into it?" No, no, no. It doesn't honestly this niche is pretty there's a space for for a lot of people in this niche. Even

[07:09] with a channel with low trust score, if you make good videos, YouTube eventually is going to recommend your your channel. It there's no way that if you're making making videos that people want to watch and videos that nobody's seeing in in

[07:23] YouTube, YouTube is going to recommend your channel. And if people like that video, it's your it's just a snowball, honestly. So, so it's not a more of like a a niche thing, it's more of like do whatever niche you want, but you got to

[07:35] come with good ideas. Exactly, bro. Bro, this niche is a niche. You know, Carlos, because you know what niche is, and you can actually confirm this. This niche is a niche that a lot of people

[07:47] think that is saturated. If you ask some people that just got started, they're going to do that niche, because that niche is just saturated." And I just ignored that [ __ ] Ignored that [ __ ] I tell people not I tell people not to go

[08:01] into that niche, cuz it's saturated. Oh, it's my fault. thank you, Carlos. Thank you for not I'm not I'm not always right. I'm not always right. But all right, with that

[08:14] to production, cuz I know a lot of people are probably wondering how you question is, how do you script write? How do you approach that? Right now, I'm a script writing with Vid Ninjas. It's a it's a software. It's actually

[08:28] from Carlos. I'm not He's not paying me. He's not paying me. Honestly, he should he should I'm like paying you right now, bro. Don't worry. Bro, send me send me the the [ __ ] PayPal. He's not paying me,

[08:40] but honestly, that's a really really really good software right now. I do all my scripts in Vid Ninjas. The two things that are actually like bangers from from this app are the Kumo and also the the script writing. The script writing have

[08:55] one thing that I didn't saw like any software have. And it is the semantic ID things. This is not a game changer if you're doing shitty scripts. If your videos are [ __ ] this is not going to be a game changer. You need to actually

[09:09] do good ideas and also good scripts before. And with the semantic ID, it's like the cherry on top. It's just going to sound like like I'm like Carlos just So, then you you use Vid Ninjas for scripting. What do you do for I'm

[09:23] assuming 11 Labs for audios? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I use 11 Labs, but I'm going to to give other people a better option. You can actually clone your voice in 11 Labs. Right now, I use a voice from from 11 Labs. Thanks to God, nobody is using

[09:37] Uh it's a really good voice, but the best your voice. If you clone your your voice, you can actually have a 100%

[09:49] >> Yeah, it's just better for the algorithm, too. But what about thumbnails? Thumbnails, I I do them myself. I actually do them. I take the time to uh to do them. Right now, I'm just hiring a a guy to uh to take care

[10:03] of that so so I can actually have like my whole focus in the ideas of the videos. That's the part that I really think that I can give to anyone because thinking and the way that I approach some topics. You can delegate uh the

[10:17] editing, the the script writing, the thumbnail design, the voice-over creation, uh everything else you you can delegate, but the ideation is something that you yourself need to do it. >> 100% and then for the thumbnails, does

[10:30] make them by hand? Like real images. Sometimes I use AI, uh sometimes I I don't because I have like uh technical uh skills because uh I'm an editor and I actually know how to do. And then for editors, I'm assuming you just have a

[10:45] yeah, yeah. I have right now I have four editors that are actually Yeah, yeah, yeah, that are working with me. Let me borrow one. Come on, let me borrow one, man. I got this idea for this niche that I just saw

[10:58] days. I was like, I'm going to hop into this niche. Oh. you have then, what did you learn production-wise that you're going to know, like what is that mistake or or that secret that you discovered in order

[11:14] for to optimize that? Do the ideas myself and not relying completely on AI. AI is really helpful, it's really really good and it can actually come with really good ideas, but the issue is that sometimes the AI don't understand

[11:29] completely how the human behave and you need need need to actually think in the motion of the idea, in the motion that of your niche, of your approach in your any [ __ ] idea and I don't know what the [ __ ] to do, I use AI to have some

[11:45] insights or or of what ideas and and after that I just will iterate and change some things, but that's one of the main things. Always do the the ideation yourself. What is happening in your niche, look what what topics are

[11:58] trending right now, what are doing your competitors. Not to copy them, not to but to change an angle. If If for example, you're in the health niche and you see a competitor doing a video of vegetables

[12:12] to cure back pain, I don't know. You can actually instead of doing like 10 vegetables, you can do 10 fruits. Or knee pain. You can do Oh, yeah, yeah, cure I don't know. Erectile dysfunction.

[12:26] I don't have the problem. >> link to that video. Send me the link to Oh, oh. Bro, I'm sending to you, bro. I got you, bro. But yeah, uh that's basically change the the angle and uh see your competitors not to copy them,

[12:40] but to change the the angle of of their video. Exactly. It's about I I guess too. The way that information is provided, if no information is provided about how to solve pains in general, let's say there's like 10 videos on

[12:53] YouTube, but it's a a doctor on screen and he talks slow pace, no background music, shitty camera quality. That's can easily be transferred over to the format of automation and and it works. So, yeah, that's exactly exactly true. But

[13:05] here, man. How do you feel right now? Like 51,000 Yeah. How does that feel, man? I don't feel anything. No? What do you mean? Like like describe

[13:20] it to me. Bro, right now I use This is going to say sound like [ __ ] but I use visualize it so much in my brain that right now that I just achieved it, bro, it's like I'm not

[13:33] surprised, bro, because I just worked for this. That's tough. Honestly, because I knew what bro, I video and improving and improving and improving, eventually, bro, I was going

[13:47] to make it. You need to learn from me. But um is this money like again I I That was crazy. I'm sorry. That threw me off. That was tough. But like uh is is this money life-changing? 100% bro. Oh, this this is 100%

[14:03] life-changing. I can actually uh start making a lot of things with this money. I want to take care of my family. I want to actually open more channels so I can to actually open more channels so I can make more money.

[14:20] open more channels to to to to make more money. I can buy me some expensive stuff I don't want to be >> Like what? Like like like a [ __ ] >> Like what? Like like like a [ __ ] Corvette C8. I want a Corvette C8. Okay.

[14:35] >> too, in a Porsche, too. And And like the one you have. But honestly, I think that we need to be unique and if I do it, they uh they're going to say that I'm the copy of Carlos and and I don't want that [ __ ] I I

[14:49] Yeah, yeah, I want to be me myself. And I was thinking maybe Corvette C8 to start, you know? >> Yeah, something light. Maybe buying some trips, also because I want to travel. I want to

[15:01] want to I want to go to Vegas. If If you invite me to Vegas, bro, I'm going I'm going to Vegas. Don't say it.

[15:13] Don't If you don't mean it, don't say it. Because I'm going to go right now. >> Yeah, dude. What the [ __ ] Come over, spend like a like a few days, go gamble, maybe lose all the money you made. Bro,

[15:27] On the block, [ __ ] it. So, as of right now then, are you going to launch more channels and if so, with everything that you've learned again, niche? Yeah, I'm definitely going to launch more channels. Right now, my goal

[15:41] is to hit a 100k per month, six figures. To to pick the niches is actually using Koala as I used to from from uh B Ninjas. You say it's good it's good [ __ ] Yeah,

[15:55] it's a really good software, honestly. As I used to Carlos is not paying me. He should pay me, honestly, because I'm doing I'm giving like Oh, you got to go? But yeah,

[16:08] But yeah, uh using Koala and using incognito mode, you can actually find a lot of niches. It's not that hard, honestly. With with those two tools, anyone can find like a really good niche with low

[16:20] offer and make and make better videos of of of the competitors. And if you do succeed. Right now with with where you're at, are you scared of getting hit to be the news right now. Everyone's talking about

[16:34] Not at all. Not at all, honestly. I don't make shitty content. My content is really high quality. I pay for my highest quality videos I pay up to $100. Oh, [ __ ] Yeah, and I'm not scared of doing it because honestly, if you're

[16:49] making like this amount of money, bro, paying $150, bro, for a [ __ ] video that is going to make you probably like three like 3k in in a week, bro. Yeah, it's worth it. Did Did you start with paying $100 or

[17:03] Yeah, yeah, yeah, I started with a cheaper editor with with low quality. YouTube shorts or what what are your thoughts on YouTube shorts? You can shorts, but I think that long form is the bro, is the sweet spot, honestly.

[17:20] Yeah, it's the matter. It's easier to get money. If you get like a lot of views, bro, you can actually make a [ __ ] ton of money without that much effort because the issue with shorts is that you need to upload maybe twice three

[17:32] times four four times per day and the return is is not that high, honestly. So, now that you've you've succeeded and you saw this, would you say YouTube is hard or it's easy? Now, I'm not saying if you, you know, obviously consistency,

[17:45] you keep going, but like do you truly in your heart believe that now that you did into or is it easy? Nah, it's not hard. or is it easy? Nah, it's not hard. It's hard to actually to not be lazy.

[17:58] Mhm. That's That's like That's like the hard part because it's hard at the beginning like everything everything is in life when when you start something and you don't know [ __ ] about it, you're going to suck, basically, and it's going

[18:11] to feel like really hard, but eventually when you find the way to do it, you can again and make a [ __ ] ton of money consistently. For YouTube to become easy you need to be bad first. Yeah, that's true. That's

[18:26] you think if if you were to start from zero today, right now, as everything you again? 100%. How long? Maybe to get one channel monetized, one month

[18:40] first joined the community, what what were your your thoughts on the whole thing? I'm going to be honest. Yeah. At the very beginning, I have a little bit feeling that maybe you were a guru of a scammer because you know that this

[18:55] all these automation stuff, you just sound like like a lot of guys out there ra. It's the shorts guys, man. It's It's the [ __ ] who do shorts. They make us look bad. >> Yeah, 100% bro. But eventually, when I

[19:08] all that stuff that you were saying, I just say, bro, he honestly looked legit and maybe let's do bro, let's you give it a try and let's see how this works. And the And the community um is is is really really good, honestly. I feel

[19:23] that he's really complete and he have anything that you need to start. If you go inside the Carlos community, you're going to know how to do things better and you're going to be ahead of 90% of the beginners. Be Be prepared to start

[19:36] and if you have money, invest money because it removes the need of you to invest time. You can invest money in AIs, in Koala, in ChatGPT, all in Yo, in B Ninjas, too. If you only can buy

[19:53] I strongly recommend you to buy Bidding Ninjas because he have like all contents. He have a script writing, niche niche uh finder, uh Kumo, and also All in one so you don't have like to pay like multiple things, multiple

[20:08] You know what? I think I am going to send you $1,000. we're adding like API. So, if if you want to continue writing scripts, you don't have to buy credits through us. It's cheaper for you. And just going to

[20:24] thank you so much, man. For for the people watching, where where can they find you? What are your plans? Let us know. Right now, uh they can find me in on on Instagram. I you can put uh on my Instagram below. Also, in my X. And and

[20:40] I'm going to be dropping some sauce. What about a school community? I'm going to do one, actually. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. because right now I'm just like

[20:53] really really focused on my channel. Yeah, on my channels. And I want to like take the most that I can out from all my channels. And eventually, I'm going to make a school to teach people how how to do it. Yeah, cuz right now, you're

[21:05] community from one YouTube channel. Yeah. For real? Yeah, 51. Yeah, if you do 51, you're making you're making more than me on on on the school community. Yeah, yeah. Honestly, dude, it's it's it's it's just something that I can do

[21:19] also to have like more income because I'm going to be honest, it's a really good source of income. I don't want to be like all of these gurus that are help people because they're kind. Yeah, I like to help people, but I actually

[21:32] business, for sure. >> Yeah, it's a business. It's helping you. It's going to make me money. I'm happy because I'm helping you, but I'm also making money from it. But, it's bro, it's a [ __ ] bro, it's bro, it's a

[21:45] Why not? Why not? Exactly. So, something I always said too is I'm not the [ __ ] Pope. You know, of course I'm doing this for money as well, but if I'm going to going to try to help you with as much as I can. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah, cuz if

[21:59] example, I mean, if if this video does well, and being completely honest with more conversions as well. So, helping people succeed and and essentially beat me just helps me business-wise in general. Yeah, exactly, bro. Right now,

[22:13] general. Yeah, exactly, bro. Right now, I'm a I'm a success uh case. And and a community. But, it's just because because I'm a success case case because because I'm a success case case because you actually helped me to achieve this.

[22:26] Because it's it's legit, it's real. And you're making money from it. I don't see any problem of making money helping people to make more money, you know? If you're if you're helping me to to earn like [ __ ] 50 50k, and you're like

[22:39] [ __ ] earning how much? Like $37 a month? Bro, bro, it's hear. I need to charge more. 100% bro. 100% you need to charge more, bro. Honestly, because this this is easily sellable for $1,000. But, okay,
