7 AI YouTube Mistakes to Avoid — Step-by-Step Guide & Transcript

[00:01] of AI-powered channels fail to monetize or end up demonetized? You've probably seen videos that tell you, "Hey, clone this channel that has millions views, and you'll get the same results." Well, let me tell you, that's not

[00:15] entirely true. In fact, making the video is only 10% of the work involved channel, you know that my job here as a content creator is to teach you how to do things right from scratch. I don't offer magic tricks, but rather workflows

[00:31] or work processes that deliver optimal results. And if this is your first time visiting my channel, I 'm Lorwin Enrique, and this is Artificial Ark, a channel specializing in creating images and videos with

[00:44] artificial intelligence. I invite you to subscribe, and let's get started with this subscribe, and let's get started with this video. artificial intelligence is booming and making great strides every day to

[00:58] create better videos, better images, and better automation systems in every sense, artificial intelligence is a powerful tool. However, this new era has created a false belief: that

[01:13] YouTube is a giant, automated machine for making easy money. Artificial intelligence. And this isn't entirely true, but it's not entirely false either. Why? YouTube is a platform that values ​​quality content,

[01:26] authenticity, and the real value given to the viewer. My goal with this video isn't to discourage you; quite the opposite. I want to share some of my knowledge with you so you can build your project from scratch with a solid

[01:38] foundation. Because if you use artificial intelligence, great, it's a super-powerful tool, but always use it strategically. creating a YouTube channel—and I'm not talking about videos created with

[01:54] artificial intelligence, no, this happens to everyone, especially channel, right?—is defining a clear and strategic niche. Who are you talking to? What problem are you solving? Is your channel about humor? Is your channel about religion? Keep in

[02:07] mind that your audience, and especially YouTube, rewards specialization. If your channel isn't well-defined, the YouTube algorithm won't know who to show it to, and in the end, the followers who follow you for a reason... Whether it's a video or

[02:19] another, they won't know what to expect from the next video. There are many channels that talk about everything involving AI, and I only specialize in videos and images. Does this example make sense? Let's move on to the second mistake.

[02:34] What do I mean by prioritizing the tool over the content? I want to show you this with an example. This channel belongs to a crew member, and he told me, "Hey, I'm starting to make my videos, let me show you." And honestly,

[02:46] I really liked his video, how he explains the images, you know? but the images are consistent. Overall, the images look good and have good movement, and the explanations are good

[03:00] . In fact, something I loved about his video is that he narrates it himself; he's not using an artificial intelligence to speak and narrate what he wants to say. What mistake is he making? It's this:

[03:14] He puts the name of what his channel is about, like, "Where was poker born?" Chapter 1, Persia. No I'm going to get into the topic of whether it's good for search or not. It has a title that relates to the video, and it also includes

[03:30] images generated with BO2 and Hiluo. And this is where I say, the tool you use to make your video is irrelevant to everyone. Why am I saying this? Because if you're talking about poker and you use the title— which is one of the main ways to

[03:46] reach your audience—by mentioning that you create images with BO2, DX, Y, Z, and O, you're missing the opportunity to reach someone. What about in my case? How do I create videos with M Journey? How do I create videos with Fluts, with Clean, with Beo?

[04:03] videos with Fluts, with Clean, with Beo? Obviously, my channel is in this niche. Your niche is poker. Look for keywords related to your niche. And I have another example. We were talking to this crew member, and I told him, "Hey, do

[04:15] this, change this, search for this." And he made some changes. It's a shame I don't have the " before" picture, but I'll show you the "after." Nicole is a girl from Chile who is working and She's making well-produced videos with artificial intelligence,

[04:27] focused on health topics like children's fear of needles and all that. What's happening? She had all these covers done differently and had used the same title. In this video, I said what I felt

[04:41] inside, an animated short film made with the tool. What's happening? She had fewer views, and when she changed it, you can see that the views have increased a bit most views was this one or this one, I don't remember, but look how much the views have gone up

[04:55] . What's happening? These videos are quite old. However, by doing good SEO on the title, you'll see that she already added " animated short film about children's fear of blood tests."

[05:08] However, I would remove that. I would start with "Children's fear of blood tests." This is what a mom or dad would search for if they wanted to know about children's fear of blood tests and what it could be, and in the

[05:21] description, I would put this video, "I made it with Jailu" or "with the other one." So artificial intelligence. Let me explain: define your niche, use the title, description, YouTube tags, and the thumbnail is also super important, but if I

[05:37] go into detail about this, I'd have to make a much longer video. Anyway, if you want something specific about this, leave it in the comments and I'll do it, leave it in the comments and I'll do it, because a lot of people are failing here.

[05:49] Another huge mistake I see is that people don't like to modify what the platform tells them to in other videos. However, if you don't personalize your However, if you don't personalize your content, you won't stand out or

[06:02] monetize. YouTube has always been very clear that it penalizes repetitive or mass-produced content without value. And this is where those who use AI templates and all they do is

[06:14] change the text come in. In fact, making all the thumbnails the same penalizes your channel. Why? Because people don't click, and if they don't click, they don't see your videos. And if they don't see your videos, YouTube doesn't recommend you. That's why I

[06:27] always say, edit, add Your voice—if you don't want to add your own voice, then find a much more fluid one. Change the video's perspective, make the video's context unique. I do n't want to get into scripts and all that here

[06:40] because I'll touch on it a little later. And remember, personalization is what transforms a generic AI video into valuable content. And here I want to ask you, how many of these mistakes have you made or are you making?

[06:54] want to take this opportunity to tell you to click the little button that says "subscribe," click the bell so you're notified when there are new videos. In fact, talking to

[07:07] a crew member, she told me that YouTube isn't notifying her when I upload a video. So, if you're interested in my videos, if you like my content, please so you're letting YouTube know, like, "Hey, I do want you to notify me about

[07:21] this content, please," because that way you'll receive my videos and... You'll be able to see and learn much more." I also want to invite you to the Discord server where I'm setting up something called Arcisual. There, I post a promo and say, "Hey, create

[07:33] this." I upload my image so you can see it's possible, and the idea is for you to create it too and adapt it to your own style. There's nothing wrong with that. The idea is to share methods, so I hope to see you on the Discord server as well. Let's move on to

[07:46] the fourth mistake. And here I'm going to touch on the most delicate point. Why? Because in the end, everyone wants free tools. Yes, there are many free tools, but there have also been many tools that were

[08:00] free and are now paid. Why? Ultimately, everyone wants to generate income, and if I create a tool, the least I want is for it to generate revenue. And that's how it is; if you want to make videos, you want those

[08:15] YouTube videos to generate revenue. It's that simple. Imagine creating many videos that are viewed by millions of people, and someone says, "Oh, but I thought your content was free." Would you like that? At first, you're struggling because

[08:30] you create free content to eventually monetize, and then you're like, "Hey, give me what's mine, man." That's life. But it's also important to say that not everything paid is good either. You have to understand

[08:45] that artificial intelligence is a tool to refine what you want, to create what you want. However, when you use a free tool, the results might not be what you

[08:59] artificial intelligence isn't that good at generating what you want. "Oh, but if I go for a paid tool, then the comments start coming in . This crappy tool doesn't give me

[09:12] what I want." And here's where the human factor comes in . Are you writing the promo well? Are you describing it well? Are you asking for unimaginable things? I'll say it again, and the human factor influences your results for better or for worse. That's why

[09:28] channels like mine exist, where I teach you how to refine the human element. So that when you go to the AI ​​part, it can generate the best possible results and you don't waste credits unnecessarily.

[09:41] There's also a video I put together not too long ago that talks about seven mistakes we make when creating images or videos. I'm going to let you Go watch it when you finish this video. Look, go watch this video

[09:56] because it might help you fix many of the mistakes you now. This point is the most critical, and many people don't know or understand it. Starting a channel can end up

[10:11] wasting your time. That's why it's super important to know super important to know YouTube's monetization policies, especially regarding artificial intelligence. YouTube is getting

[10:24] stricter with everything related to artificial intelligence because of the "dick pack" and fake videos. Not only YouTube, but many AI platforms have restricted the creation or generation of content that features celebrities, that

[10:41] creates nudity, and so on, because it has a much bigger impact than just, "Hey, I want to create a sexy girl or a sexy guy." This goes much further than just, "Hey, I want to create a sexy girl or a sexy guy." It goes much further than that. Beyond that, this has a huge impact on topics that, well, I insist, would make this

[10:58] video way too long. So, what do you have to do in these cases? If your content is deepfake or 100% AI-generated. Next, when you upload a video, first, if it's content unsuitable for children, put "not created

[11:12] for children." If it's content that children can't see, it will affect you. And second, if your content is deepfake , answer this section: Altered Content. Any of these statements apply to your content.

[11:26] It appears that a real person is doing or saying something they didn't. real locations has been altered. Realistic scenes have been generated , but they didn't actually happen. So yes, it doesn't matter if you're talking about Jesus Christ,

[11:39] Zeus, or anything else, just let YouTube know that your content is 100% AI-generated. This won't affect your video's performance; rather, YouTube will know who to show it to.

[11:51] Remember that skipping this is more likely to... On the contrary, it harms you. So, the contrary, it harms you. So, always be aware of this. This point is related to the previous one, and it's because people believe that anything

[12:03] generated by AI is copyright-free . If the AI ​​uses copyrighted content to train itself or to generate your content, and if you don't have the license for that content, you could receive copyright claims at some point

[12:18] . Mind you, I'm not saying this happens immediately, no. This could take two years, and they'll tell you, "Hey, this stuff here is mine." I have the license for this. "I have the rights to this." YouTube will also tell you,

[12:31] "Hey, you have a claim, you have the rights, show them." And that's how it works; you can claim it, and everything will be fine. As I've said in the last few videos where I've shown a complete workflow from creation to editing and all that,

[12:43] use audio that is truly copyright-free. If you're going to create images with specific styles, don't make them too similar to the Disney or Pixar style, okay? Because if you didn't know, Disney is suing M Journey for all these things with themes

[12:59] that resemble Star Wars or The Simpsons. So, be careful with that. It's also important that when you're going to create videos that you're going to monetize, you read the policies of the tool you 're using regarding the content

[13:13] you create. If we're talking about music, for example, Suno, if you create a song without having paid for a plan, you can't monetize that music.

[13:26] , but in a year and a half, they can tell you, "You created that song before you had paid." The plan. When you create a song by paying for a plan, they give you the rights to use that song. Always read these

[13:40] policies regarding the use of what you create. Super important. Let's move on to the last mistake. And this is a mistake that's happening a lot and is becoming more common every day, where people think that generating scripts with Chas

[13:54] Dept, Gemini, Perplexity, or Deepsic in bulk and without modifying them—that is, not touching them, not changing a single thing—is considered original content to monetize. If 100 people ask

[14:09] Chas Dept to create scripts on a popular topic, the content that Chas Dept or Gemini or the other one produces will always be very similar, even with variations. And when you upload this to YouTube, YouTube will say, "Hey, this

[14:23] is the same thing." So this is where, I repeat, modify what the artificial intelligence creates, give it a human touch, because that's what will differentiate you from the rest. Always. I say it in all my videos, I say it, do it,

[14:37] in all my videos, I say it, do it, modify it, and use your human touch. How would you say it? And these are seven mistakes people are making when trying to create a channel to monetize, whether with long or short videos. But there's

[14:51] one I want to give you, an extra one, number eight. people the most when they see videos that say, "This channel is monetizing 800 million, and when you try to monetize, you don't earn a single euro." First, for me, it's irresponsible to

[15:06] talk about earnings unless you show your channel and say, "Hey, I 'm earning this much." Many people use this application, and I'm sure you've seen it in many videos, called Social Blade. Social Blade shows you

[15:19] channel statistics, okay? It shows you the rankings, okay? The subscribers, everything you're gaining in terms of statistics. But what happens? Many people show you this and say, "Auron Play is earning 31K a

[15:33] month," and imagine, Auron Play is earning 452K a year, But if we can see here, it says between 1.9 and 31K." And this is what I see as wrong. They're always going to tell you the higher amount. And what happens? These tools don't have

[15:48] access to what you're actually monetizing. Social Blade is only based on CPM. What does CPM mean? Cost per 1,000 views. This means that if your video has 1,000 views and each view costs you €1, then you earned €1,000

[16:03] for 1,000 views. But this isn't accurate at all. Why? Because it depends on videos, and how long they watched them. So, this is just such a vague estimate that it can't be taken as a real reference. I can tell you

[16:19] that it's more likely to be closer to the lower number than the higher one. In fact, I have an example. The Drama Alert account in February showed this leak showing Mr. Beast's estimated earnings of 4,200

[16:34] and something. According to this leak, this is What Mr. Beast is earning in a month. If we go to Social Blade, Mr. Beast, based on what they always show, would be earning 14 million. Notice that you're closer to 800k than 14 million, and

[16:49] ultimately, as I said, Social Blade doesn't have access to have access to frustrate you. Take these numbers as statistics. Never, ever, ever

[17:03] focus on the highest figure. In fact, when I wasn't monetizing on YouTube, I would go an estimated amount of money that I wasn't actually receiving because I hadn't monetized the channel yet. So, don't rely too much on this.

[17:19] Trust the results, trust your analytics, look at how your content performs, what works and what doesn't. In conclusion, start building your channel properly from scratch. Start your channel and don't upload a single video. Have 10 Videos, and

[17:34] you start editing them so the channel has that momentum and doesn't wait for you to create content every day. I'll repeat everything. Define your niche. Use search engine optimization (SEO) or keywords effectively in your videos according to your niche. Create

[17:49] original content. It doesn't matter if you're creating religious videos, do it your way, make them different. Why do you think those channels that are more popular than a million views, the bunny channels? Because they were the

[18:03] first, they were original, it's their way of presenting videos, and free tools you're going to use, and think carefully about where you're going to invest them because you know how to use them. Understand the monetization policies of the

[18:17] platform where you're going to create, in this case, YouTube. Remember to read all the copyright policies for the tools you use, the images you use, everything generated by AI, your scripts, your images, your

[18:31] videos—edit them to add your human touch, so it's not all the same. And lastly, this is a slow and steady process. Channels don't monetize overnight, no matter what anyone tells you. Take firm steps, don't take

[18:46] shaky steps because it can cost you dearly in terms of your time. I hope this video was helpful, I hope you liked it. If you have any questions, leave me a comment. And that's it for today's video. Remember to subscribe if
