βΆ Play Clip"The title promises 'lazy' money-making, but the video is a 11-minute pitch for a paid course with a long sales segment."
The video presents a method for making money online through 'YouTube automation'βa faceless content creation model that leverages AI tools for scripting and voiceovers, combined with outsourced editing. The creator, Romero, claims to have earned over $1.8 million using this approach and provides a step-by-step overview of the process, along with advice on niches, monetization timelines, and common misconceptions.
Romero introduces himself and claims to have made over $1.8 million with his online business, which he describes as 'YouTube automation' or 'YouTube outsourcing.' His biggest channel, focused on celebrity news, has generated over $1 million in ad revenue.
He shares examples of his channels: a WNBA channel earned over $100,000, a top 10 TV show moments channel also earned over $100,000, and a new channel (niche undisclosed) got 1.4 million views in 28 days, paying $10,510. He shows earnings progression from $15 in July to $5,900 by mid-August, and $4,627 in the first 14 days of the current month.
The process starts with using ChatGPT to generate a YouTube script. He advises giving a detailed prompt with examples, rather than a simple one, to get a 'semidecent' script.
The script is then converted to speech using an AI voice generator, specifically ElevenLabs. The user copies the script paragraph by paragraph, pastes it into ElevenLabs, and clicks 'generate speech' to create the voiceover.
For visuals, the creator recommends using Fiverr to hire video editors. He shows an example of an 8-10 minute video being created for $25. He notes that his own videos cost $350-$450 each due to complex editing, but beginners can start with simpler drag-and-drop editing.
To avoid copyright issues, he makes videos 'transformative' by using AI for scripts and voiceovers, ensuring the message makes sense, and adding transitions every 7 seconds. This is how he posts celebrity news and top 10 TV show content without issues.
He states that the time to start making money varies. In his community, some students saw results in a week, others in two weeks, and some in a month. Consistency is key, and he warns that there are no guaranteed fast results.
He debunks the myth that subscribers are essential for success. The channel that made $10,500 in 28 days only had 5,096 subscribers, gaining 3,600 in that period. He emphasizes that subscribers haven't mattered for years on YouTube.
He addresses the concern that YouTube automation is saturated. He argues that while more people are doing it, not all are succeeding. He also notes that many 'gurus' get their subscriber plaques through YouTube Shorts, which doesn't pay well, and that long-form content is more sustainable.
He shares examples from his community: Vlad made $2,200 in 14 days after 89 videos, Seb saw his channel blow up after 25 days, and another student made $6,170 in their first month of monetization. These stories illustrate that results take time and consistency.
He advises targeting an older audience (over 40) as there is less competition and more market knowledge. He suggests finding original niches, like his country music channel covering artists from the '50s and '60s, which worked well.
The video provides a practical, step-by-step guide to starting a faceless YouTube channel using AI tools and outsourced editing. While the creator emphasizes that success requires consistency and time, he also highlights the potential for significant income, as demonstrated by his own and his students' results.

10:02[00:01] online? Here are a thousand online businesses. Let me tell you 50 lazy That's what these [ __ ] guys do. There's thousands of YouTube videos right now of people doing that. Let me tell you 900. Like, bro, I could easily
[00:14] list. You know, I'm not sure what these super geniuses are on starting 20 online And that's what I'm going to share with you guys in this video. If you don't know who I am, my name is Romero. I've made over $1.8 million with my online
[00:28] business. And that online business is called YouTube automation. Or at least it's really not that automated. It's more like YouTube outsourcing. And channels on different topics. For example, my biggest YouTube channel
[00:41] that's made me over $1 million in ad revenue is about celebrity news. I've also made a few bucks with a YouTube channel about the WNBA. I've made over a h 100,000 with a YouTube channel about top 10 TV show moments. I've also done
[00:54] artists, kind of like biographies. Same thing with old Hollywood artists from this YouTube channel, which I'm not going to reveal the niche because it is something I created, but this YouTube channel in just 28 days got 1.4 million
[01:08] views and that paid me $10,51. And just so you guys can see, in July, this channel only made 15. And mid August when I started this YouTube channel, it ended the month with 5,900.
[01:20] And so far this month, 14 days in, it's made $4,627. And listen, YouTube automation has a bad reputation just because there's a lot of probably doesn't help that I have a link to a school community down below, which
[01:34] is my course where I teach people how I do YouTube automation. But I want to buy a course. You don't have to join a community to see results. I always it first before buying anything. But anyways, how does this work? Let me give
[01:48] and say that I want to make this YouTube video here faceless. Hypothetically speaking, I would go into ChatgBT and I would say, "Make me a YouTube script for the laziest ways to make money online." Of course, that is a [ __ ] prompt. That
[02:01] give it a lot of detail. You want to give it some examples, but this is just, Then, Chad GBT would give you a semidecent script. From here, you would go to a website that creates AI generated voices. This is going to be
[02:14] the voice that commentates your script. I personally use 11 Labs. So, what you would do is you would copy one paragraph at a time and you would paste it onto 11 Then you would just click on generate
[02:26] speech and this is what it sounds like. >> Let's be honest, everyone wants to make >> You would download that and then boom, now you have an original script and you thing is the visuals, the visuals of your video. From here, you have multiple
[02:40] options. You can go to fiverr.com. Just search up video editing YouTube automation and start browsing, right? start seeing who has the best prices or who has the most reviews. I don't know, whatever you want. For example, this guy
[02:52] here. This person will create a 8 to 10 minute video for you for the price of $25, which I don't think it's that bad. You would just click on contact me. I would send him my script and the voice over I made and that would be like, hey,
[03:05] repeat this process for every single upload. The other option though is to editing is not that complicated anymore, right? We're in the big 2025. There are a lot of tools and a lot of updates that
[03:18] softwares. And a lot of people love to use this excuse that, oh, I'm old. I'm school community, I have multiple people over the age of 50 how to edit. And they're like, you know what? It
[03:30] wasn't that bad. Now, wait, the editing that you see in this video is actually really expensive and really hard to do. I pay between $350 to $450 per video. effects, you know, the timelines, there's a lot of editing done. For
[03:44] complicated. You don't have to do anything crazy besides place clips here. is just drag and drop. And of course, set it up in a way where you don't get copyrighted. Which, by the way, that's another very common question. How am I
[03:58] posting celebrity news and top 10 TV show videos without getting copyrighted? Well, that's because I make my videos transformative using ChatVt and 11 Labs. decent script. I choose a high-quality voice. The message of my video makes
[04:11] sense. And I make transitions to every single visual after 7 seconds. Anything most likely going to get copyrighted. forgot. For the thumbnails, kind of the same [ __ ] You can go on Fiverr. I mean,
[04:25] thumbnails for you or just learn how to do it yourself. It's really not that isn't hard. That [ __ ] could be a little bit tough. What I'm saying is creating videos, creating faceless videos is very easy to do. That's what I'm saying when
[04:39] I say this is easy. Now, a question I get a lot is, "How long does it take? have to post before I start making money?" That always depends. You know, in my school community, I've worked with thousands of people. Not a huge chunk of
[04:51] some did in a week, some did it in 2 weeks, some did in a month, but the haven't really heard from them or their videos just aren't performing. So, it from what I've seen, you know, the students that remain consistent usually
[05:06] see results usually. though I think it would be a banger to lie to you and tell you that it's, you know, you'll get results fast. It's impossible. That's not how YouTube works. But I mean, hey, if I did it, why can't you? So, very
[05:18] of my school community. And if you don't give a [ __ ] you can click here and skip of you that do care. My community is up joining, this is what you're going to get. Number one is the blueprint step by
[05:31] how to set up everything. We don't really count it. Uh, but the real videos are in the tutorial vault. And this is over 60 videos where I go step by step on everything that I know about YouTube. Photoshop tutorials, AI tutorials,
[05:45] I've learned, all of my experiences, all of my trial and errors are going to be in these videos. And just last month, I ended up adding 18 new videos in the 2025 Vault update. You also get a list of the best niches. You also get
[05:58] thumbnail PGs. But the best part is that I go live two times every single week, but usually I go live on Wednesday and Sunday. And this is where I speak to you review your channels, all that good stuff. So again, link is going to be in
[06:11] pinned comment. If you want to check it out, you can. All right, now that we got Now, a lot of people worry that the only way to be successful on YouTube is that subscribers. No, that's not true at all. Matter of fact, the YouTube channel that
[06:25] I showed you guys earlier that made $10,500 in just 28 days, it only has $5,96 subscribers, right? And it gained 3.6 in the last 28 days. So, I'm really
[06:37] bad at math. Give me one second. 5096. So, that means that this YouTube channel So, that means that this YouTube channel had 1,496 subscribers and in 28 days it experience. I'm not saying that you're going to make $10,000 like me, but I'm
[06:50] do not matter. They haven't mattered for years on YouTube. And also, these YouTube plaques that I have back here, they used to be pretty cool until shorts easy it was to get a 100,000 subscribers on a shorts channel. Then they would
[07:04] start 50 YouTube channels, get 50 of these, and then drop a course. By the automation gurus. Most of the plaques that you see that they have come from really [ __ ] with YouTube shorts. It doesn't pay that good. I don't really
[07:18] channel being too long-term. Another On paper, it makes sense, right? It makes sense that you don't want to do a automation because there's too many people doing it. Yes and no. Nowadays,
[07:33] there's more people doing it, but that doesn't mean they're succeeding. There's more [ __ ] videos now than there was 3 4 years ago is what I'm saying. So, it's like, yeah, I mean, technically, there's more quote unquote competition, but in
[07:46] competition, if you really want to call it that. You know, that's kind of an debunked, right? Because at the beginning of my school community when I do celebrity news. Um, you know, I was preaching about it in every video. And
[07:59] actually did get results from that. For example, if I go into my wins tab, Vlad here said at 89 videos, I can finally say I'm making some decent earnings stats for the last 14 days, 2,200. If anyone is interested, this niche is
[08:13] celebrities, but I did not take part in the Diddy Fiasco. Okay. Yeah. I mean, this is two birds, one stone. Vlad here posted 89 videos, minimum 90 days, right? Saying he took a 2-day break. And in the last 14 days, he's made 2,000
[08:25] bucks. So, so you know, it can take a while. We also have members like Seb here that said took me 25 days. Posted his first video on August 20th. Look at that. His channel's already blowing up. We also have members like Maho here that
[08:38] have consistently been making a few thousand. MT here posted this advice. thousand. MT here posted this advice. just do it with $7,197 in his second month. And then he shared this picture, which I don't know who
[08:51] that is. We also have members like Kevin Harrington, $4,000 his first ever month. ago. Keep in mind this was posted August 1st. He started two brand new channels. Oh [ __ ] S Breezy here August 2nd said final results first month of
[09:05] monetization $6,17. He said, "This only took 24 days due to being monetized on July 7th. Um, I came here with zero knowledge at the end of May. This student decided to stay anonymous and wanted us to post for him
[09:19] 6 months in and he's going strong. 2,000 in May, 4,000 4 Oh, wow. He's consistently making $4,000 a month. Jay here made 8,000 in just 4 months. But anyways, you get the point. Don't let people who have never tried it talk you
[09:33] celebrity news. I'm going to get to that in a bit. You know, saying you do YouTube sounds very scary and a lot of people post a few videos and they think Mr. Beast, right? And by the way, most likely the videos are absolute [ __ ] I
[09:47] it a try before you pull the trigger on any community on any course. But anyways, with saturation, that takes me to niches. The health niche, celebrity, WNBA, old Hollywood, top 10s, movie recaps, anime, all of those niches are
[10:02] something new and I realized that YouTube automation is still very young. So, saturation argument is out of the [ __ ] window because the last two started, and by original, I mean original niche, I found a topic that
[10:17] nobody else did. Then I created automation videos on it and it worked. The last two channels, the sauce is that you want to target an older audience. over the age of 40. with YouTube automation and faceless channels.
[10:31] mostly like younger people, you know, my age. But again, I'm considered one of the older guys that does YouTube automation. I'm 25 years old. But if you're over the age of 35, if you're 40, if you're 50, it's like, dude, the
[10:44] knowledge of the market that you have is crazy because the people in your age that many niches for you guys. There's not enough content. And that's what I've country channel, I only covered country artists from the ' 50s and 60s and '7s.
[10:59] I didn't touch any of the new guys. For this one that I'm doing right now, I'm strictly targeting people over the age of 35. You know, the niche, the topic of boring. But it might not be boring to you. But yeah, I really need to start
[11:12] scripting these videos cuz I ran out of things to talk about. don't know what else to talk about. Thanks for watching. Like and subscribe Thanks for watching. Like and subscribe if you want or whatever.
