Clone YouTube Channels with AI — Step-by-Step Guide & Transcript

[00:02] one because in this video I'm going to show you how to clone a complete monetized YouTube channel and generate your own videos automatically using an artificial intelligence tool from Google. Yes,

[00:15] completely free. I'm referring to scripts, voiceovers, visuals, hooks, thumbnails, and even the entire video structure generated for you in a matter of minutes. The most surprising thing is that most

[00:30] creators have no idea that this tool can do all this. By the end of this video, you'll know exactly how to reverse engineer

[00:42] successful YouTube channels and turn their formula into your own automated content creation system. Purpose: If you want Primo Franco to guide you through live video calls,

[00:54] pre-recorded classes so you can learn at your own pace, and personalized audits of your content where I tell you what to do, what to add, what to remove, or what to change so you can get results and live off a fully

[01:07] automated business, I invite you to my new mastermind/digitalempirescommunity. I'm going to leave a link below in the description of this video so you can enter right now and I'll see you inside. Let me show you something

[01:19] interesting. I recently found a YouTube channel with no face, no personal brand, no camera, and no sophisticated editing. It only used very simple stick figures, with a voice generated by artificial intelligence.

[01:32] But when I checked their statistics, I was honestly surprised. The channel had very few videos posted and yet it was already generating thousands of dollars solely from ad revenue. That tells us something very

[01:46] important. The success of that channel did not come from expensive production or complicated editing at all. It came from the formula behind the content. And today we're going to replicate that formula exactly. Let's

[02:00] analyze what makes a channel like that work. We're going to extract their system and build our own version from scratch using a free Google tool that most creators have never even considered for

[02:14] YouTube. That tool is called Google Notebook LM, and if you've never heard of it, don't worry, I'm going to teach you everything from the beginning, step by step. But before opening the tool, there's a small

[02:27] setup step we need to do first that will save you a lot of time. Many people skip this part and then wonder, why does the whole process seem so slow? So don't be one of them. Let me show you the

[02:41] right way to do it. Let's begin. The first thing we need to do is find a channel that has already proven to work and that we can use as a reference. So you're going to open YouTube and now look for a

[02:54] faceless channel within the niche you want to work in. It can be psychology, finance, personal issues, relationships, productivity, health, history, or a channel that's already up and running. In other words, that it's

[03:08] getting views, that it's posting consistently, right? that they publish frequently, that they use a repeatable format above all else, and most importantly, that they have a simple editing style,

[03:21] because the goal here is not to copy anyone, the goal is to understand what is already working and create our own version based on that same formula. Once you find the channel, go to the videos tab. Herein lies the first

[03:35] problem. We need to collect between 10 and 15 video links from that channel so that Notebook LM can properly understand how it works. But copying too long. So instead of doing it one by one, we're going to automate

[03:52] that part. Open a new tab and search for the Gravit extension for Chrome. That's the extension we need. Click on it, add it to Chrome, and when it finishes installing, open the Grabit extension and go into settings.

[04:06] Scroll down until you find the add new action option. Click there. Now we're going to configure the action that will allow us to copy multiple video URLs at the same time. In mouse button select left click. In modifier key,

[04:21] choose alt if you are using Windows or option if you are using a Mac, depending on the device you have. And now comes the most important part. In action type select copy URLs to clipboard. Then click save and you're done. This configuration

[04:36] only needs to be done once. From now on, whenever you want to collect multiple video links from any channel, you can use this same extension. [clears throat] Now, go back to the YouTube channel we selected earlier

[04:48] and make sure you're on the videos tab. Hold down the modifier key of your choice, either Alt Option, and then left-click while dragging the cursor over the videos. While you do this, Gravit will

[05:01] automatically copy all the links from the videos within your selection. Try to collect between 10 and 15 links. The more videos you include, the better the results will be, because Notebook LM will have more

[05:15] information to understand the channel's pattern, tone, hooks, and content structure. Once the links are copied, we'll be ready to move on to the main tool. Now, open Google Notebook LM. After

[05:28] logging in with your Google account, you will arrive at this main panel. This notebook will function as an intelligent research assistant. We're going to feed it the channel's successful videos so it can help us

[05:42] understand exactly what's behind it. Click on websites and paste all the links you just copied there. Let the Notebook LM process all sources correctly. The more relevant sources you provide, the

[05:56] better and more original the final result will be . It may seem like a small detail, but when you start creating multiple videos and multiple notebooks, keeping everything organized will be very important. When you finish generating the summary,

[06:09] you should save it as a note by clicking here, as you can see. And after saving it, click on the three dots and select converturce to add that summary to the sources and give even more context to the notebook. Once you have added

[06:24] all the fonts, give your notebook a suitable name. For example, if you're analyzing a psychology channel, you can call it psychology channel research . And remember that you don't have to limit yourself to just

[06:36] YouTube links. You can also add blog articles, PDFs, related to your niche. Now we're going to reverse engineer the entire channel. Go to the chat within the LM notebook and type this prompt. Ask him to

[06:50] analyze the niche, the audience, the video topics, the hooks, the script structure, the tone, the title style, and the pattern of calls to action, or CTAs, as you want to

[07:02] say them. When you send the prompt, which I'll leave below in the description of this video, look carefully, it will say, "These are the prompts I used in this video." You copy them, you paste them. When you send that prompt, or in

[07:15] this case the prompt I'm telling you about, Notebook LM will analyze all the videos and offer you a complete breakdown of the channel. The prompt will, as I said, always be available in the description. Look carefully. Many people

[07:28] tell me, "Franco, you haven't put, you haven't included the prompt." I repeat, look carefully and you'll be able to copy and paste it completely free. This is where you'll get the real formula. It will show you what types of topics the

[07:41] channel uses, such as how the videos usually begin. What type of language do they use? How do they they keep the audience watching until the end. Essentially, it's like getting the channel's secret manual completely decrypted. Read it carefully and

[07:55] save it, because we're going to use all that information to build our we need for our channel is a name. So continue in the same chat and ask Notebook LM to generate 10 channel name ideas

[08:08] based on that niche and the content formula you just analyzed. It will propose different options and will generally include a brief explanation of why each name fits the channel's style. Choose the one you

[08:20] inspiration to create your own. Once you have the channel name, continue in the same chat and ask them to generate 10 viral video ideas for that channel. This is where the tool becomes truly powerful. These

[08:34] ideas are not random; they are based on the pattern of a channel that is already instead of starting from scratch, you formula that has already proven to work. Once you have the 10 ideas, choose the one

[08:48] create a separate notebook for that video. This is important because we don't want to mix all the information into a single notebook. Copy the first video idea including the title, hook, logic, and

[09:01] main concept. If Notebook LM provides you with those details, obviously. Then click on Create Notebook to create a new notebook. Once inside, paste the idea you just copied. This way Notebook LM will be able to search for

[09:17] related sources. Specifically regarding that topic, which will be very useful in the following steps. While gathering sources, he assigns the notebook the same name as the video title so he can easily identify it later.

[09:30] Now, this notebook will be dedicated exclusively to a video. After that, return to the main panel and go back into the notebook where we analyze all the videos on the channel. Now paste a prompt that asks

[09:43] Notebook LM to generate a complete YouTube script based on the video idea you instruct him to follow the same tone, structure, rhythm, hooks, and audience psychology that he detected in the analyzed channel. You can also

[09:57] specify the desired duration for the video. Then press Enter. Notebook LM will generate a complete script. And when I say complete, I mean natural phrases, a fluid rhythm, and a structure that really sounds like an

[10:11] authentic YouTube video. Now copy that script and go back to the specific notebook for the video. Add it as a new source, and that way the notebook will contain the original video idea, the collected sources, and the

[10:24] complete script. This is important because the next step is where the Notebook LM converts all that information into a real video. While that process is taking place, you can repeat the exact same workflow

[10:36] with the second video idea, the third, and so on. And now comes the most powerful part. Within the specific notebook for the video, look for the study section. There you will find different options such as mind map, reports, slide,

[10:51] infographic and more. For this workflow, select video overview. Before generating the video, open the settings or customization options. In terms of format, select explainer, as it works very well for

[11:06] educational content, especially faceless channels and tutorial-type videos. In terms of language, choose the language of your audience, and in terms of visual style, the whiteboard option usually offers excellent results for this type of content because it looks

[11:18] clean, simple, and, above all, easy to follow. In the sources section you will see prefer, you can leave only the script selected and when everything is ready, click on generate. Notebook LM will start creating the video

[11:33] automatically. It will take your script, understand the content, generate the visuals, create the voice narration, add the slides, and turn it all into a complete video, without editing timelines, without

[11:47] manually recording voices, and without complicated animations. Everything happens within the tool itself. When the video is ready, review it. You'll see that it includes natural narration, visuals that match the script's content, and

[11:59] a complete flow that really looks like a professional, faceless YouTube video . But we're not finished yet. A good video also needs people to click on it, and that's why we need to optimize the metadata. Go back

[12:12] and ask him to generate 10 catchy titles for that video. This is where all the collected sources play a vital role in creating much more effective titles. Read all the options carefully and choose the one with the

[12:26] greatest potential to attract clicks while remaining true to the content. optimized description for SE or for that same video. It can even offer you several versions so you can choose the one you like best. Now all that's missing is the

[12:40] Canva, since it's an excellent tool for creating graphics made templates, but in this case we're going to create a custom design. Click on create design, find the YouTube thumbnail size and you'll have a

[12:54] blank canvas ready to work on. Since the channel we are using as a effective design, we will follow the same strategy. Start with a white background, then go to the text section and add a short, impactful phrase

[13:07] for the thumbnail. Ideally, it should have between four and six words. You must clearly communicate the main idea of ​​the video. Align the text to the left and use a bold font like Poppins, as it is clean and very

[13:20] easy to read. Write it in capital letters, then reduce the space between the lines and place it in a position that looks balanced. Now add a rectangle behind the text. Look at the elements, find a rectangular shape and place it behind

[13:33] one of the words. Use high-contrast colors like purple, in this example. That will make the text stand out much more within YouTube. Next, find a sketch-type drawing related to the topic of your video. For

[13:46] example, if the video is about a second chance, an open door, it can work very well as a visual element. Choose a simple graphic and place it next to the thumbnail. You can also add a shadow or a

[13:58] more professional look. And if you want the background to have a more modern style, you can incorporate some very subtle grid lines, as well as adjust them to the canvas size and reduce their transparency. When you're finished,

[14:12] zoom out and look at the thumbnail as if you were a spectator. Question: If this thumbnail appeared on my YouTube homepage, would it stop me from 's ready. By the way, if you want me to show you how I'm creating, growing,
