[00:01]
Case Study: Ernesto's Success

Ernesto monetized a football channel from scratch in less than 90 days by leveraging AI for content production, without appearing on camera.

[00:28]
Two Types of Automated Channels

There are trending channels (news, short-term) and evergreen channels (timeless content). The speaker recommends starting with trending channels to quickly raise capital.

[03:07]
Volume is Key for Trending Channels

Uploading 10 videos a day, rather than 3-4 per week, is crucial for success. The speaker found that high volume leads to more chances of a video taking off.

[05:55]
Finding Content Ideas from News

Instead of YouTube, use sports news websites to find breaking news. Be the first to upload news to gain a competitive edge.

[10:19]
Packaging: Thumbnails and Titles

Use eye-catching images with bold text (like 'breaking news') to grab attention. Titles should emphasize that the content is news and urgent.

[15:09]
Content Production with AI

Use AI tools like Claude to generate scripts from news articles, and ElevenLabs for voiceover. Keep the voice cheerful and the editing simple.

The video concludes that success with trending channels comes from focusing on high-volume, timely content, not on perfect production. By prioritizing speed and volume, you can monetize quickly and scale income.

[00:01] Ernesto's case and how, starting from scratch less than 90 days ago, he was able to monetize a football channel and generate his first income by leveraging the artificial intelligence in part of the content production process. He

[00:15] doesn't appear on camera, and with the capital he 's generating, he'll be able to continue today's video, we're going to talk about the strategy so you can do the same, and the one I use myself to monetize channels and generate between

[00:28] also going to see how to produce the content correctly so as not to have copyright. First of all, I want you to automated channels, faceless channels, there are two types of

[00:42] channels: trending channels and evergreen channels. An evergreen channel is a type of channel that uploads content that remains relevant over time. [music] The video you upload today may be of interest for the next 30 days, 90 days, and 365 days.

[00:56] uploaded to their channels is evergreen, it's long-term. On the other hand, there are other trending channels, which, as the name suggests, feature trending topics and news.

[01:08] This type of channel isn't as long-term , but in the short term, in niches like football, they can be very profitable. Right now, with the very profitable. Right now, with the

[01:20] can take advantage of that to upload a lot of content, attract a large audience, and generate a lot of revenue. Neither channel is better than the other. You simply have to understand that they are two different types of channels, and

[01:33] you have to know when you are ready to create one or the other. In my opinion, I started with trends, and most of the time I recommend starting with trends. Because? Because it's a quick way, in quotes, to

[01:46] raise capital. To put it simply, evergreen content. You always have to be on the lookout for the best ideas, you always have to be on the lookout for the contrast, on a trending channel it's about

[01:58] volume, and the one who uploads the most content and the one who uploads the best ideas and best trending channels is that there's almost always news, so you can take advantage of that. Right now, for example, with the World Cup you could get

[02:12] a lot of news, a lot of [music] video ideas, but when the World Cup is over, football is a sport that will continue to be played. So, you have to always have the same peak [music] of views, but they will continue to

[02:25] open news stories. It's not like there's news for part of the year and not for another part; it does n't work like that. It's simply that sometimes there's more news than other times, stable. I'm going to give you an example, and many people are going to earn many thousands

[02:38] GTA 6 comes out, [music] many automated channels are going to appear, or not only are they many automated channels that are going to talk about the new video game, they are going to upload the news of everything that is happening and they are going to capture a lot of attention

[02:53] and earn a lot of income. Next [music] I'm going to show you exactly what you need to do and what patterns you need to keep in mind to succeed with these trending channels. After having trained so many people and after having

[03:07] seen where people were when they decided to open a channel, trending [music] channels is the same as opening an evergreen channel, right? You start uploading three or four videos a week and see

[03:20] how they work, but that's the biggest mistake people make. When before, I started with a trends channel and I made a difference and I was really able to scale because I was doing things that nobody else was

[03:34] doing. People were uploading a daily [music] trend and what I the channel monetized, but it was stable at around €500 a month, which is what it made the first month. But I analyzed, I repeat, what

[03:47] everyone was doing and I saw that nobody was focusing on uploading a lot of content. I started testing two videos a day, then I started testing three videos a day, then I started testing five videos a day, and I saw that the channel was responding

[04:01] correctly. Obviously we can't expect all videos to get 10,000, [music] 20,000, 50,000 views, but as I said, in trending channels, the one who uploads the most views wins. So, [music] when I understood

[04:15] that, I started uploading 10 videos a day and not only did I distance myself from my competition was doing, but it's impossible that if you upload 10 good ideas, 10

[04:27] good trends a day, one won't catch on and one won't take off and start generating views. For those of you watching this from home, it doesn't successful right now, by opening a channel, for example, about the

[04:40] World Cup football, you have to upload 10 videos a day. But what I person has to have when opening a trending channel is that they have to upload as many videos as possible, but not just upload for the sake of uploading, but because since you have so

[04:53] many ideas to choose from, [music] you have a lot of potential ahead of you. I'm going to upload three or four videos a week and then I'll gradually increase it you can because one, as I said before, you're going to separate yourself from the

[05:05] competition [music] and two, it's impossible for your videos not to be successful if you upload so much content monthly. I'm going to talk to you now about how to produce content correctly, content for trending channels, and I'm going to show you several

[05:17] examples, not just channels from the world of music. The content process we're going to see is exactly how Ernesto did it . Obviously, I'm not going to show his channel for privacy reasons because it's his and nobody likes it when their channels are revealed,

[05:29] but I'm going to show you step by step how I do it, how Ernesto did it, earn thousands and thousands of euros a month with trending channels are doing it. First, I'm going to content ideas. Then I'll show you how to properly package those videos in

[05:43] terms of title and thumbnail. By " packaging" we mean the packaging, title and the thumbnail. And then I'm going to teach you how to produce content correctly without having problems with YouTube, your competition,

[05:55] copyright, and so on. I'm going to teach you everything. Okay, as I said, let's start with the ideas. [music] And I'm a fan of analyzing ideas within YouTube itself, but when we make trending channels [music] it's something different,

[06:09] because we can't get inspiration from ideas on YouTube. Because? What does that mean? If we are leveraging ideas that are on YouTube [music], it already means that they are there and it already means that the trend, the news, has been around for a few

[06:21] days, even if it's just hours. We need to focus on being the first need to focus on being the first to upload those ideas, that news. And to do that, you have to go to the sports news websites

[06:34] . In this case, what I do is go to my browser's search engine and search for the go to my browser's search engine and search for the latest World Cup [music] , okay? Or, if not, what you can do is put "breaking news".

[06:48] Look, breaking news from the world of football. Here appears the country, uh, the newspaper, brand, which are very well -known pages, especially here in Spain. I imagine each country has its own page, but that's okay, the point is

[07:03] that they give us the news and that we can see what's happening in real time. [music] For example, if I come in here, okay? World Cup 2026, latest news. Here, all the news gradually appears, like

[07:16] whether France is playing today, or whether this team is playing today. So, if you open all the possible pages, like what I said before, right? Brand, sports world, you have way too many ideas to produce, don't you?

[07:29] If this happens here, okay, then we'll look into the news, see what happened, and we'll have an idea. Actually [music] if you open cco or 10 sports pages that talk about the World Cup in this case you can get

[07:42] Obviously you're not going to upload hundreds of videos a day, but you have a lot of content ideas and even more if, for example, they play today or they play tomorrow, then it's going to be much, much more. [music] And that's what I want you to understand, that

[07:56] in an Evergreen channel, since it's long- term, we are inspired by YouTube, we are worked in certain markets to replicate our own, but here in trends it's different. Here we get our inspiration from the news that comes

[08:09] out every day, at all hours, because, I repeat, we have to be the first to upload that news and I'm sure that if you who are watching me are the first [music] to upload news on a trending channel, you

[08:21] can blow it up a lot. So you don't have to get your inspiration from certain certain reference channels to see a little bit of what [music] they're a little bit of what [music] they're doing, but don't copy those videos for

[08:33] before, that if those videos are already uploaded and you're getting inspiration from those videos, [music] are videos that have already been uploaded in the past. Whether it's been 10 days [music] or just hours ago, we have to

[08:45] be the first to upload the news as it happens moment by moment. And I know it might seem complicated or require you to be very attentive, but think about it: if you manage to upload a good news story, that video

[08:58] can get millions and millions of views and you can generate thousands and thousands of euros with just one video. Imagine uploading all the content I earlier. I want to show you around here. I searched for World

[09:11] Cup 2026 news on YouTube and look at all the channels that came up. 15 hours ago 28,000, 12 [music] hours ago 19,000 and I'm sure that if we search and search there are channels with thousands and thousands and thousands [music] of views. All the

[09:24] content. For example, look at this one, it had almost 200,000 [music] views a day ago , 100 views per hour. This channel has generated 300 views in one day simply by uploading a good trending topic about the World Cup. Or

[09:39] watch channels. For example, 3 days ago 175,000, [music] 1 day ago 100,000, 5 days ago 150,000. And we can see that there is a great demand and that people are really interested in this, and we have to

[09:51] always did was open a Google document and when I was analyzing things here, pam, pam, pam, pam, pam , pam, pam, and then I would select the best ones, the ones I thought would work best, and upload those news items.

[10:07] need to do it on a computer. You can write it down on a piece of paper and then select the best ideas. What we just saw is how to select good content ideas for trending [music] channels

[10:19] how Ernesto is doing it. Ernesto started completely from scratch and knew how to execute things well because knowing something is useless if you don't know how to execute it correctly. And thanks to executing it

[10:32] correctly, he was able to monetize it in a short time and start generating income. literally after 30 days. Once we've seen this, let's look at how to properly package the videos. Remember that the packaging was a mix between

[10:44] the title and the thumbnail. And for that I want to show you my first automated [music] channel which was Trends, which I explained to you at the beginning of this video and is this channel that you are seeing on screen. The channel is called F1

[10:57] Deportes, and I want to show you this channel because it's true that it's currently inactive; I haven't uploaded any content for a very long time. But I want you to those videos, because it's a packaging format with enormous

[11:11] potential. Many channels, trends in any niche—whether it's politics, anything, football, basketball, or Formula 1—are using this format, and very few people in

[11:24] Spanish-speaking market, are doing it. Thanks to packaging the videos this way, I was able to differentiate myself from all that competition and take a huge slice of the pie, because ultimately, I was contributing new things, and viewers were seeing things they had

[11:37] I want you to look at the packaging. They are literally expressive images with really grabs your attention [music]. There's no need to complicate things, there's no need to generate

[11:49] artificial intelligence, there's no need for anything. All we need to focus on is selecting a good image and adding text that is eye-catching enough to grab the person's attention. For example, all the text you're

[12:02] seeing here was meant to draw the viewer's attention to things that were happening at that moment. Let me give you the example of football. What exactly would I do select a photo of a player or a photo of

[12:15] a player being fouled or something similar of two people and add a very eye-catching text, such as "This team is out of the World Cup" or "Nobody knows they're out of the World Cup" or something like that. For this, how

[12:27] do it with artificial intelligence, [music] or anything like that. show you how to do, and do it directly from there, okay? censor this, above all. You're going to go to Canva, which [music] is free, you're going to

[12:40] click here to create, you're going to put a YouTube thumbnail here, okay? Because? going to recommend is that with [music] this text you add a title here and use Anton's font , okay? Because it's very eye-catching, and

[12:55] for example, if we put it here, nobody knows he's been eliminated, okay? For example, if we put these things like this, okay? with a very striking image in the background and

[13:07] with very, very, very large text here. Okay? Imagine that, for example, we put up a picture of Argentina or a picture from any World Cup, of any team, I'm just making this up, even of Spain. If I put this here

[13:19] with this white background and the background image, it's going to be very eye-catching. And I repeat, you do have to go, for example, here and put up images of the Spanish national team's music

[13:32] , okay? For example, pick a photo that's eye-catching, [music] okay? We're putting a match against Portugal itself. For example, if we select this image, okay? [music] We copy it, we go here to Canva, we paste it here, we

[13:46] enlarge it, we adjust it here and we enlarge it. Obviously it [music] not by a long shot. Here we would have to gradually fit in, but that's how I was doing it here. Notice that there is nothing

[14:00] background image, some eye-catching text that says " latest news" anywhere on the eye-catching enough [music] to grab those people's attention. Remember that the packaging is segmented into two parts: title and thumbnail. The thumbnail is meant to

[14:14] grab the viewer's attention, and the title is meant to convert that attention into recommend you do with the titles? which worked very well for me. Notice that in all the titles it said breaking news, breaking news, breaking news, uh, F1 today or

[14:28] you can put football today or breaking news football, two points. By doing that, you are emphasizing to the person who is seeing the video that it is news and that they have to see it today, that it is important enough for them to

[14:41] watch it. That's why you have to emphasize that these are news stories, that this event happened today and it has great importance. That's why I recommend you always put "breaking news," "breaking news," or "F1 today," or "football today,"

[14:55] or whatever, but make sure they understand that it's a trend. Ernesto did exactly what we just saw with his channel. So let's now look at how to properly produce [music] content for these types of trending channels. The first thing you're going to

[15:09] do is the script, and you have to [music] go to any news article you have, like this one for example, and copy everything it's telling you here, okay? Everything that it's telling you, okay? Until you see that the news story is over. For

[15:22] example, I see that it ends here. So in this case, we would copy, go to So in this case, we would copy, go to Claude, and say, "I want you to Claude, and say, "I want you to help me generate a script with this

[15:36] information, okay?" We would paste all the information here. It's for my all the information here. It's for my trending football [music] channel, okay? We would copy all the information for that trend, and Claude would

[15:50] take care of generating the entire script. Before, this wasn't possible, and you had to structure the script yourself, but now, since Claude connects to what's happening today or whatever you tell it, it reviews the

[16:04] news, it reviews what's happening in the real world, and it gives you a good script and a good video. Notice that it has already created the entire script for us, and now any [music] AI voiceover tool, like

[16:19] Level Labs, which has a free trial, which is this one here, and input the entire script that Claude has structured for us, little by little, to convert that script into voiceover. What I recommend It's about having a cheerful voice, not a

[16:32] deep one, because what the viewer wants is to know the news as soon as So, [music] you're going to go here to Text to Speech and you're going to copy, little by little, what the script has given you, and you're going

[16:45] to generate the voice. It's very important that you select the [music] voice you want here. I don't recommend a specific one, but I do cheerful voice. And here you can change the speed of the voice, the stability of

[16:59] the voice, and the similarity of that voice. So you can adapt it more or less as mentioned about how to produce the content correctly, but on trending channels, it's the easiest part because people don't watch the video

[17:13] to see how well it's edited or how well the subtitles are done find out [music] about the trend as soon as possible. So, what I recommend is that, for example, if you go To upload a trending

[17:26] football video, you look for images from that day [music] and all you have to do is add the images. If the video is 8 minutes long, change the images every 10 seconds, make sure they are copyright-free, and that's it. In

[17:38] this case, what you have to do, for example, is use images of the example, is use images of the Spain vs. Portugal 2026 match. I'm just making this up, they played the other day, and there's no copyright issue.

[17:52] You go to the images section and pick all the images that don't show any copyright restrictions, or if it's not [music], you can reverse the image and that's it, no copyright issues will pop up. People

[18:04] think they have to make super-animated, super-cut, want is the trending topic, they want the news, they don't care how well-

[18:16] always have to deliver some minimum value to the platform, but you don't have to overthink it. [music] And that's exactly what Ernesto did, and that's why That's how it scaled so quickly, because it didn't focus on the content, it didn't focus on

[18:29] whether the script was the best, it didn't focus on whether the voiceover was better, or whether the editing was better. It focused [music] on what was important: selecting the best important: selecting the best ideas and going louder than anyone else.

[18:42] Now, I'd like to tell you something. If you'd really like to commit to income like we've already done for dozens and dozens of people—in fact, you can see testimonials of success stories on this very channel—
