AI Summary

This video provides a step-by-step tutorial on creating faceless YouTube videos using AI, specifically with the Nvid AI tool. The presenter demonstrates how to generate a complete video in the animal niche, from scripting to thumbnail creation, and also reveals a secret monetization method using affiliate marketing through ClickBank.

[00:01]
Introduction to Faceless AI Videos

The presenter introduces the concept of making money on YouTube with faceless videos using AI, emphasizing that no multiple software is needed—all done within Nvid AI.

[00:44]
Choosing the Animal Niche

The animal niche is recommended because of abundant free footage and high viewer engagement. A channel in this niche can earn up to $8K/month.

[01:28]
Finding a Proven Video to Recreate

The best method is to browse a successful channel's popular videos and recreate a proven concept, e.g., '10 Strongest Animals in the World' which got 559K views.

[02:14]
Using Nvid AI for Video Creation

The presenter uses Nvid AI (Nvidia's new tool) to generate the video. They recommend at least the Plus plan for sufficient stock footage. The free plan is insufficient.

[03:21]
Setting Up the Video in Nvid AI

Select 'YouTube explainer' template, set length (e.g., 5 minutes), enter a topic like '5 strongest animals in the world', and customize voice, subtitles, and stock footage preferences.

[04:42]
Generating and Editing the Video

After generation, the presenter shows how to edit the script (e.g., add funny puns) and replace media clips. The edit script feature allows adding an intro and outro.

[07:18]
Adding Intro and Outro

By editing the script, you can insert a custom intro (e.g., 'Welcome back to our channel...') and an outro to make the video more professional.

[08:24]
Exporting the Video

Export without watermarks (requires paid account) at 1080p resolution. The video downloads as an MP4 file.

[09:05]
Uploading to YouTube

Create a YouTube channel related to the niche (e.g., 'Animal Info'), upload the video, and use a clickbait title similar to successful channels.

[10:03]
Creating the Thumbnail in Canva

Use Canva (free tool) to design a thumbnail: 1920x1080, bold fonts like Anton, red and white colors, and images of animals. Model after successful thumbnails.

[13:57]
Uploading Thumbnail and Video Settings

Upload the thumbnail to YouTube, set video as not for kids, and save as unlisted initially for affiliate link setup.

[14:38]
Affiliate Marketing with ClickBank

Since monetization requires 500 subscribers, the presenter suggests earning via affiliate marketing. Use ClickBank to find animal-related products (e.g., 'Brain Training for Dogs') and create a shortened affiliate link with TinyURL.

[16:27]
Publishing the Video

Add the affiliate link in the video description, verify the channel (one-time step), then set video to public and save.

The video demonstrates a complete workflow for creating faceless YouTube videos using AI, from finding a proven idea to monetizing with affiliate marketing. The key is to use Nvid AI for efficient video generation and Canva for thumbnails, while leveraging ClickBank for immediate income.

14:38

[00:01] you how to make money on YouTube with faceless videos using Ai and the best part is you don't need to combine a bunch of software this is all done with to be like all of those other YouTube videos just showing you all these basic

[00:17] everything from creating the videos creating the thumbnails uploading the videos and even show you a secret monetization method towards the end of the video that allows you to start making money right away but first let's

[00:30] address the elephant in the room and I know I've been gone from YouTube for quite some time now I'm back it may look like I was stranded on a island time off and uh I should probably get a haircut I'll be right back all right

[00:44] much better now I don't look so homeless at least not as homeless and uh yeah so and watch the entire video so you don't miss out on any of the steps with that being said let's get into the video all right so like I said in this video I'm

[00:58] YouTube videos using Ai and the niche we're going to actually be doing this in is the animal Niche and as you can see right here a channel doing this exact Niche is making upwards of 8K a month or

[01:11] 102k per year and this is a great Niche because they get tons of views and these types of videos just simply work better with AI because there's just so much free video and footage of animals that make the video just so much better than

[01:28] tons of other topics other people use and the first step is really finding a proven video that you can recreate and there's tons of ways to figure this out I think the the best method which is tried and true is going to a channel in

[01:43] this Niche and just going to their popular videos and recreating videos like this okay and one video I like was the 10 strongest animals in the world the 10 strongest animals in the world got 559k views it's not super old and

[01:58] going to be searching and it's very very simple okay now the most important step though is how we create this video and like I said we're going to be using Ai and I've made a lot of YouTube videos using different tools invid being one of

[02:14] them but their old software the Nvidia Studio I love it but it's definitely more work up front so Nvidia actually created a brand new software which is nid AI and that's the tool we're going to be using so you can go to this link

[02:28] description but one thing I want to say really quick if you go over to that link you can try it completely free but if you go to the pricing right here and you look at the free account they won't even let you use

[02:40] iock footage which is the best footage and you're just missing out on a lot of and you're just missing out on a lot of the stuff like that's not enough to make enough content for YouTube 10 minutes of work it's just not enough so I'd suggest

[02:53] at least going to the plus I think I moved this up to like 40 or 60 I don't definitely cheap cheaper if you go yearly okay so just make sure you get an you're good but just make sure you sign up for that because that's the tool I'm

[03:07] you want to follow along all right so once you have an Nvidia AI account it will look like this and you're about to see how crazy this is okay so right here you can go to explore all but what we're creating is a YouTube explainer but if

[03:21] make tons of different types of videos with this which is crazy but you're going to want to go to YouTube explainer right here and you can choose how long you want it to be typically you want it to be 7 to 10 minutes but we're going to

[03:34] make this a shorter video just so it finishes quicker just because this is an example so we'll just do five minutes okay and you can literally type 10 strongest animals in the world right we're just going to do five so it's not

[03:46] as long again five strongest animals in the world okay and literally that's all you can type now I will say the more like things the more prompts you give it you can make it more specific and do all of that and just make it more targeted

[04:02] can also change all of that later which with this and then you can change the background music you can use a mail with a any voice or a Midwestern voice that's

[04:15] add subtitles you can I do the add subtitles with a standard looking feel subtitles with a standard looking feel right there and then also it will normally be like don't use iock or use iock normally I think is what it

[04:28] normally says but but I prefer iock I think it's better so use prefer using iock when you can okay and then you just literally hit continue and now it's going to create a five minute YouTube video about I'll put it the five

[04:42] use a mail voice with a Midwestern accent add subtitles prefer using iock when Ken okay so then you just hit generate video now after about a minute or depending how long your video is and how fast your computer is it could take

[04:56] a little longer you get this little option and you can change it a little bit you can change the title which we'll deal with later don't worry about that but you can make it educational you can make it feel professional and it's for

[05:09] that it's not that important but if you want to change it around you can and part takes just a little bit longer so just give it a couple minutes and I'll be right back all right and this is the video okay so for example did you know

[05:25] are 1,141 times heavier than its body weight 1,141 times heavier than its body weight that's a very very simple okay but let's say you wanted to change something small right like you wanted to uh add some

[05:41] funny puns right so let's just hit generate and it will literally add some funy puns to the video okay so let's check one of these out so I think it's towards the end so let's see what they got they prefer to use their power for

[05:56] survival and protecting their families rather than for aggression so oh next time you see a gorilla remember they're stronger than they look and they sure don't monkey around when it comes to strength from the

[06:08] jungle okay so that's the pun for that one just give it a prompt and it will add it to the video without changing anything but something that's cool is you can also go to edit right here and you can

[06:23] edit the script which we're going to do in a second because I want to show you one other thing about that but you can also just edit the media like you see right here if you click on this it's going to take you to that part of the

[06:35] script that it's like showing that clip and if you want to change that clip for example you could just go to search right here and go to gorilla and then hit enter and you can use any of these right so it's pretty simple if you want

[06:49] to change things around and then you just hit replace right here so there you go and then right here you would hit apply changes okay and then that's going to get edited to the video itself okay very very simple stuff but I would say

[07:06] the most important part of this is you want to add like an intro and an outro if you planned this beforehand you could have added that to the prompt we didn't do that because I wanted to show you this like if you edit it after the fact

[07:18] so if you go to edit script right here and then you just go up here and then you want to add a chapter before what you want to do is kind of like how I did in my video you could be like hey welcome back to the channel channel in

[07:30] five strongest animals in the world starting with number one that's literally all you would have to do so let's do um welcome back to our channel let's do um welcome back to our channel here are the five strongest animals in

[07:44] here are the five strongest animals in the world starting with number one and then just apply changes again right here and that's going to add the intro and for the outro same thing very simple okay so let's wait till that loads and

[07:58] I'll show you that quick all right so now that that's loaded let's check it out welcome back to our channel here are the five strongest animals in the world starting with number one did you know that that was actually kind of cool how

[08:10] change that clip you could just go to edit and change it very very simple stuff okay but now that the video is done you want to export it and then done you want to export it and then export video right here okay now you

[08:24] don't want watermarks I believe if you have a free account it has to have a not want the free account you don't want any branding and then you want it to be 1080p okay then you just hit continue all right and as you see it's done

[08:37] rendering it just got downloaded okay so that is our video right here so pretty sick now the next step is actually uploading the video and you're going to obviously want a YouTube channel to do that on this is just an example Channel

[08:52] motivation connect but you're going to want it to be named something like related to your Niche so in this example it would be like animal info or something related to animals right but yeah so just make sure you have a

[09:05] YouTube channel related to your Niche that's very very very important okay and you're going to use you could go to customization right here go to basic info and change the info here so it' be like animal info right and then you

[09:20] would publish that okay doesn't really matter for this it's just an example but what we're going to do is go to create right here and upload videos okay now and then you're going to go right here to the video we created and double click

[09:34] it and again remember with these videos you want to kind of copy what's already you want to kind of copy what's already worked model after success okay so again strongest animals in the world so we'll just do five strongest animals in the

[09:50] world okay and you could add like another little thing like you won't believe it or something like that they call it kind of clickbait or like it kind of helps people click on the video you don't have to add that though okay

[10:03] but the thumbnail is very very important so that's the next step we're going to focus on do not skip this part okay and for this I just use canva it's a free tool I do have the paid option but you can get an account completely for free

[10:16] just go to canva.com or whatever and once you're inside of canva what you're going to want to do is create a custom size right here and it's 1920 by 1080

[10:28] remember I keep saying it you want to model after success so what we're going to do is we're going to look at their thumbnail right here so they got like a line of text at the top and then three animals okay so we could do something

[10:42] very similar right so let's go back to this and you can go just to elements right here and you could just type in like a square or a rectangle and you like that and just stretch it the whole way just make sure you change the color

[10:57] right here to Black all right and then you go to text and then you can just add a text box or hit heading whichever one but you'll get this little bit of text and then we'll change it what color did they use they used white red and white

[11:10] or you can use different colors it's totally up to you we'll just copy what they did just for example purposes so you got your text right here we'll make it white so you can see it better and the font I like is either Oswald or

[11:27] Anton because they're like more thick and easy to read on thumbnails okay so we'll just do Anton and then you're going to type in most powerful animals okay and you can stretch it like that or you can change the size like

[11:41] that we'll just stretch it like that and then Center it and then if you want to change just the center part you can highlight it like that and

[11:53] then go to the colors and then change it to like red okay just like that most powerful animals now if you want to add images right there three of them two of them whatever you can literally just go down here to photos and then we'll type

[12:09] in what was one of them like the gorilla right let's find a good scary looking gorilla we'll use that just cuz it's funny and uh then what was another one

[12:22] it was like a dung beetle spell it right and then you see how it like overlaps right there you can just crop overlaps right there you can just crop it like that crop it like that and also

[12:35] if you want this to be on top right here you can just go to position and then you just move it to the front you see like that and then what was the third I think you could put one that's not in there too it really doesn't matter but if you

[12:50] want just go to photos and if you want to add like a lion or something you know we could find a goodlook one of a lion here like that okay and we could do something like that and there you go it's basically the same if we put them

[13:04] side by side and you can see that's theirs and that's ours okay very similar theirs and that's ours okay very similar and it's proven to work okay and just start the most important thing is actually creating the videos and getting

[13:18] I'm just trying to show you this so you started and uh yeah so that's our thumbnail and then what you want to do is you want to go up here to share and and down here you see download

[13:32] and down here you see download PNG download now back over here our videoos still rendering which is fine but now you want to go to upload thumbnail okay and that's our thumbnail and this one the file is bigger than 2

[13:44] megabytes so if you do run into that problem you can go back to canva like when you're downloading it you can hit compress file so it will just make it smaller so then you hit download again and then it will be a smaller size and

[13:57] as you see it works okay so that's the thumbnail now there's a couple more things you want to do for this okay you want to go to no it's not made for kids and then you go to next right here and then you can add an end

[14:11] screen once you have more videos an end screen is basically at the end of a video it will show another video that they can click on but for now not they can click on but for now not important so we'll just hit next next

[14:23] and then we'll save it as unlisted right now cuz there's one other thing you want to do and then just hit it's safe okay so now this is the important part really they've actually lowered the amount of subscribers you need from what was it a

[14:38] th000 or 2,000 something I forget what it was to get monetized on YouTube and make ad Revenue I think it's 500 now but regardless you're going to start at zero so you probably want to start making money right away and in my opinion the

[14:52] best way to do that is with affiliate marketing and there's tons of different affiliate marketing products and what that that means is you just put a link to a product and anytime someone purchases that you make a commission you

[15:04] don't have to create the product fulfill it nothing okay and on ClickBank they have tons of products animal related tons of different niches okay so just have one so I'm just going to log in and you're going to want to go inside of the

[15:18] affiliate Marketplace here to find all the products and if you're doing the same Niche the animal Niche right here under I think it's Home and Garden you can go to Animal Care and pets and then if you go to rank by gravity like right

[15:31] here if you can see that gravity high and low hit that and brain training for dogs is one of the top selling products right you know people looking at animals online are probably going to have dogs so it's a good product and you can make

[15:44] $45 per sale and literally all you do after you create an account is hit promote and then type in your affiliate nickname and then you create the Hop link and as you can see this link right here would be your affiliate link okay

[15:59] so just copy that and rather than putting that link directly in the YouTube channel you can go to a website like tiny url.com and this is super cool because right now you have this super long link

[16:13] no one's going to click that but now if you hit shorten URL now you have this nice looking tiny link okay so that's the link you want to put in your YouTube channel in your YouTube video and that's how you can start making some income

[16:27] right away okay so so copy that go back to your YouTube video okay so it's already going to be like if you go to content since you uploaded it unlisted you see right there you go to edit right here and then all you do is you say dog

[16:40] here and then all you do is you say dog training or brain training for dogs okay post the link and then for a new channel you do have to do a onetime verification that it's very simple so just make sure you do that but just make sure before

[16:55] you do that but just make sure before you do anything else you go to public done and then you save it okay so now back to our channel here are the five strongest animals in the world starting

[17:08] with number one did you know that a dung beetle can lift objects that are 1,141 times heavier than its body weight that's equivalent to a human lifting six double-decker buses and that's how you do it it's so simple to create but

[17:22] there's so much more to creating videos right like this was so so simple and it's all done within video AI right and I truly believe it's the best YouTube AI definitely get it but if you want to learn more about YouTube and making

[17:37] faceless videos definitely check out my nface YouTube course at no facey.com I'm going to be revamping that in this year and the price is going way up so definitely check that out before the price goes up but yeah I know I was

[17:50] video back but I'm happy to be back I miss you guys I appreciate you I love you feel free to comment below if you you have any questions and that's all I you have any questions and that's all I got see you on the next video
