AI Summary

This video reveals a profitable YouTube niche: AI-generated religious videos. The presenter analyzes a successful channel, 'Black and White Bible,' which earns thousands of dollars monthly with long, AI-produced Bible content. He provides a step-by-step guide to replicate this model, covering niche selection, content creation with AI tools, and channel scaling.

[00:02]
AI Religious Videos: A Profitable Niche

AI-generated religious videos are one of the most profitable opportunities on YouTube, with channels generating thousands of dollars monthly without showing faces and with high retention.

[00:55]
Case Study: Black and White Bible

The channel 'Black and White Bible' has 200,000 subscribers but videos with millions of views, indicating high demand and a new audience. The most popular videos are long, and the channel has a high RPM.

[03:30]
Why Long Videos Matter

Long videos (1-3 hours) lead to higher watch time, more ads shown, and higher earnings. A person spending 20% of a 3-hour video is more valuable than 30% of a 10-minute video.

[04:42]
Understanding RPM in the Religion Niche

RPM (revenue per 1,000 views) in the English religion niche is €8-12, meaning a 500,000-view video can generate over €5,000. This high RPM makes the niche scalable.

[06:06]
Why the Religion Niche Has Potential

The niche has recent channels with good results, a low barrier to entry (AI tools make production nearly free), and high demand. Replicating in other languages can capture untapped markets.

[08:06]
Finding Viral Ideas

The key is to find winning ideas from reference channels and replicate them in a different market (language). This leverages the time others invested in testing ideas.

[11:36]
Content Production Pillars

Content production is segmented into four pillars: scripts (using Claude), voiceover (ElevenLabs), thumbnails (Claude + ChatGPT), and editing (CapCut).

[20:20]
Publishing and Scaling

Start a new channel, publish 4-5 videos per week, subscribe to reference channels, and optimize channel keywords. Expect slow initial growth as YouTube's algorithm learns your channel.

[22:32]
Potential Earnings

A religion channel with long videos and good RPM can scale to over $3,000 per month in less than 3 months. Diversifying into multiple channels can yield even greater results.

The video demonstrates a viable business model using AI to create religious content, emphasizing the importance of niche selection, high RPM, and long-form videos. With low production costs and a validated market, the presenter argues that consistent execution can lead to significant passive income.

[00:02] AI-generated religious videos is currently one of the most profitable opportunities on YouTube. And reality is not something I'm making up channel that's generating thousands of dollars a month by uploading videos about the

[00:16] Bible, made entirely with artificial intelligence, without showing faces, and with an audience that stays watching videos for more than an hour. These types of channels have a brutal RPM, extremely high retention, and a super loyal

[00:28] audience. And the best part is that today you can replicate this model with artificial intelligence [music] by dedicating just a few hours a week. In why it works so well, and then I'm going to give you the complete step-by-step instructions

[00:42] so you can create your own AI-powered channel from scratch. It's the same way I've generated over €250,000 with this business, as you can see in the screenshots here . Let's watch the channel. The channel

[00:55] is called Black and White Bible. And look exactly at what he's content is made with artificial intelligence and it's uploading videos of a very, very long time. It's a channel that's still uploading

[01:09] videos and has videos with millions of views. I want you to notice that the channel only has 200,000 subscribers, and the most viral videos from less than a year ago have 2.2 million views, 1.2 million

[01:23] views, and 1 million views. The best part is that the most recent ones obviously don't get as many views because it's a process and they have to gradually gain views , but as of today, the channel is active. And why do I say this?

[01:37] generated millions of visits over time, but today they are stagnating. And this channel continues to upload content. This channel has ultra potential simply because its videos have far more views than

[01:51] subscribers. And what is this validating for us ? This confirms that all from the subscribers that the channel has. Because? Simply because it has less. And what does this mean? If the videos have many more views

[02:05] than subscribers to the channel, it means that it is a new audience and that there is a great market demand for this niche and these ideas. I want you to notice that the most popular video is also the longest, and there's a

[02:19] later. It's a channel that, if we look at the oldest videos, started uploading content a year ago, and you'll notice that it wasn't working very well until it uploaded this format, which if I'm not mistaken is the one it's still

[02:32] doing today. Notice that he started out, things weren't going well for him at all, videos with 1000, 2000 views at most. And suddenly he made this video that has 76,000 and from there he found a winning format and little by little he kept doing it and

[02:47] little by little he positioned himself and understood and did more of what worked for him. The most important thing to remember, and this channel has both, is that sometimes it's not how many views the channel has, or how many

[03:01] views the videos on that channel have, but the quality of those views. Because if we have 2 million views on a video, but we're not even getting paid for every 1000 views, that channel isn't

[03:15] scalable. However, this channel has both. It has a large audience, a high volume of visits, and a very good RPM, which means YouTube pays well for this niche. And in this video, I repeat, I'm going to show you how you can replicate a

[03:30] channel like this. Why did I say that the views on this video are more than 3 hours long, one hour, one hour. And generally all the long. What does that mean? To put it simply, on average

[03:45] , a person spends between 25 and 30% of their time watching a video. What does it mean? It is not the same for a person to be 30% inside an 8-10 minute video, which would be equivalent to 3 minutes, as for that same

[04:00] person, for example, to enter inside this video. Obviously the percentage will not be the same. The percentage will decrease perhaps to 20%. But 30% of a 10-minute video is not the same as 20% of a

[04:14] 3-hour [music] video. What does that mean? The longer the person stays within the video, the more trust they are generating with us, because the more time they spend within our channel watching our own content, the

[04:27] in the end the longer the video, the more ads YouTube can show and the more earn, because the more money YouTube earns, the more money YouTube pays us. That's why I say these visits are of high quality.

[04:42] I want to explain RPM to you properly. RPM is the metric that measures what we earn for every 1000 visits. And so you understand, in the English religion niche , the RPM, which is what YouTube pays for every 1000 views, is 8 to 12

[04:57] RPM. In other words, videos generate between €8 and €12 for every 1,000 views. means a video with 500,000 views, for example, can generate more

[05:09] views, for example, can generate more than $5,000 or €5,000 with just one video, not counting all the others being uploaded. And that's what really makes this niche scalable, because the moment

[05:22] we start a channel that doesn't have a high RPM, it becomes much more difficult for us to scale in terms of revenue. Because? Because with just 500,000 visits to this niche you can generate more than $000, but on the other hand with a

[05:36] normal niche with 500,000 visits you might be generating $00 or €500, which means that with exactly the same number of visits you can have 10 times high? Also, as I mentioned before, since the videos are long, YouTube

[05:51] So, in summary, we have an artificial intelligence, with long videos, a loyal audience, very high retention, high RPM, and evergreen content, long-term content. And that's exactly what we're

[06:06] looking for. Let's now see why the religion niche has so much potential niche, I always talk about the same characteristics, and this niche has them all. The first thing is that there are recent channels with good results and that's

[06:20] exactly what we're going to see, a channel that's barely a year old generating hundreds of thousands of visits. This tells us that the demand for that niche is active, that YouTube is recommending that content, and that there is a real market demand.

[06:33] What do I mean by this? That people are interested in that topic, that niche. The your market, and this is where the key lies. This channel I've shown you is in English, but you can replicate it in Spanish, French, Italian,

[06:47] taking the whole pie because nobody else is doing that in those markets. You're eliminating all the competition, all the channels, and all third, that it has a low barrier to entry. In other words, producing

[07:01] content doesn't cost you exactly what you generate, because it's no use generating $2,000 if you then have to spend $1,700 to produce that content because you would have a margin of $300, which is fine, but what

[07:14] potential niches that can generate $ 2,000, $3,000, $5,000 and give you a margin of 95%. Today, with artificial intelligence, the cost is practically zero. You can write a script with Cloud in

[07:27] with Eleevenlabs, you can generate the images with any AI tool, and you don't need equipment, you don't need an expensive editor, and you don't need anything special. But beware, there is something else that makes this niche special, the

[07:40] two barriers to entry that I always look for. The first is that it has many for the reasons I mentioned before, in terms of demand and interest. channel we can see, as we saw before, that they have many millions of

[07:54] views in relation to the subscribers that the channel has. Once you are clear that the religion niche has great potential, the next step is to is something that people underestimate, but it's

[08:06] literally 90% of the results we're going to have later. There's no point in know how to select good potential ideas, and the idea and video you upload today can generate income for the next [music] 30 days, 60, 90, or

[08:20] smartest way to find these viral ideas? Go to the channel we have as a reference, see what ideas, what videos have worked best and replicate them in completely different market. And by market I mean language. You don't have to

[08:35] invent, simply replicate what has worked, because we are leveraging the time that another person, another channel has invested in seeing what has worked and we shorten that whole process to succeed ourselves. In

[08:48] this case, I would have it very easy here and you have it very easy for the simple fact that if we go to the most popular videos, we see that videos from less than a year ago that have 2.2 million views, 1.2, what we have

[09:00] seen previously. What's happening? This is telling us that these are very winning ideas, so it would be very easy for us because people who are starting out find it very complicated because they don't have the niche, and that's what I'm

[09:12] good niche that meets the characteristics we have seen above, everything becomes much easier, especially if you have good reference dogs like this one. Because? Because it's easy for us to validate that it's

[09:24] a viral idea. I'm going to explain the characteristics of a potential idea so you can fully understand what that means . The first, obviously, is that it has worked in another market, that is, in the reference we have. There's no point in being

[09:36] has only a few thousand views, [music] honestly. The second reason is that this idea of ​​a market that has worked has not been implemented in our market. It doesn't matter if you open the channel in Spanish, Portuguese, or Italian; I don't care

[09:49] which market you open it in, but in the market where you're going to publish that channel, make sure it hasn't been mentioned earlier about the competition. And why am I telling you this? doing it, it will be extremely difficult for you to compete, and in the end you won't get the

[10:03] a small piece. I always say that I prefer to invest my time in things that no one else has done so that I can, I repeat, take the whole pie. The process I follow is simple. I open all the reference channels I have, look at

[10:16] the most popular videos, and reinvent anything new, you just need to do what has already worked, but in a new market to squeeze that market. In this case, in this

[10:31] channel I would take this idea because it's from 11 months ago, this idea because it's from 10 months ago, and I wouldn't select this one first, but rather this one here, for example. Because? because it has fewer views, but the video was

[10:44] published 8 months ago and this video was published more than a year ago. And look at the HPV, which is the visits per hour; here it's 40 and here it's 49. That is to say, there is a little more interest in this idea compared to this one, but

[10:58] simply because it was done less time ago. So, I would select this one here, this one here, and this one here. I always like to do it in blocks of three or four ideas. I don't like selecting 10 ideas

[11:11] at once, but that's because maybe I'm producing all the content for the next 2 months and then a video comes along that has much more potential than what I'm doing and because I'm producing so much content I can't

[11:23] make that video. That's why I like to do it in blocks of three or the ideas, let's see how to produce the content. And this is where artificial intelligence comes in. We will segment content production

[11:36] into four pillars. First, the scripts. The second one, the phrases. The third, the miniatures, and the fourth, the edition. And I'm going to show you how I do each of those pillars using artificial intelligence . We start with the scripts.

[11:48] I personally use Cloue to write scripts. Because? because it gives me amazing results if you give it the right context. The key here is to give him a reference and not ask him for a script from scratch because otherwise he won't

[12:00] do it well. Watch the reference video, get the transcript, and tell Cloue to change the structure by writing a script completely from scratch so that we don't copy from that reference video. To get the transcript

[12:12] simple. Imagine that we want to do it from this video, well we would go inside the video and here in more, okay?, it appears below show transcript. We would click on show transcript and

[12:26] the entire transcript of the video would appear. In this case we would have to copy without this. In this case we would have to click on copy transcript and we would already have the script copied, the next thing we would have to do is [music] tell Clou,

[12:41] do is [music] tell Clou, "I want you to help me generate a script "I want you to help me generate a script in [music] Spanish based on the reference I in [music] Spanish based on the reference I pasted. I want you to completely change the

[12:56] pasted. I want you to completely change the structure so it doesn't structure so it doesn't look like a copy-paste. Be original, but use it as a reference." And here, in this case, we paste the script. Here it shows

[13:10] that it has already been copied, and all we have to do is press enter. cloud-based artificial intelligence is paid version because I use it for other functions in my daily life,

[13:23] free of charge, and it will give you very good results. Notice that it's specifically want the script. Oh, if we want it faithful, a remix, contrasting—I'm want it faithful, a remix, contrasting—I'm going to tell it, do it however works

[13:39] best. Notice that it says, "I'm going with B, suggested title." And notice draft, okay? So we can validate it later, okay? In this case, yes, let's go ahead. And once we've confirmed

[13:54] the draft, it starts generating the entire script. Notice that it's already doing the hook, which is the first 30 seconds. And here it tells us, "Should I continue with section here it tells us, "Should I continue with section one? Yes, do it all at once." And notice

[14:06] that it's already starting to generate the script. Notice that we already have the entire script here done with Cloude. What would be the next step? The next step is for you to review it, okay? Very important simply because

[14:18] sometimes it won't do things 100% exactly as you want. That's why it's important to read it at the beginning, check that it's correct, and little by little, start trusting the artificial intelligence more. But notice that we have the entire script here,

[14:34] over 30 minutes long, exactly what we asked for. And now the next step would be to Elevenlabs is a tool specialized in generating artificial intelligence voices. And the quality is absolutely insane. There are voices that you

[14:48] literally can't distinguish from a real voice, and it has a free plan that lets you try it out. And if you want to upgrade, the paid plan gives you more credits, but you don't need to start by paying. The process is simple. First

[15:00] we saw in the previous step, and you paste it into Eleven Laps every few paragraphs For the simple reason that imagine you paste the entire video of more than half an hour—first of all, you can't— but imagine you put all the

[15:15] milestones there. If there's any problem with the Eleven Laps application, literally So, that's why I prefer to do it paragraph by paragraph. This way you ensure that the voice is being generated correctly. So you can see how it's

[15:29] home. First of all, you're going to go into Eleven Laps, click on "text to speech," and you'll have to copy... So, the entire script that Cloud generated for you. For example, the first few paragraphs—just copy the hook, okay? And paste it

[15:43] here. Okay. All you have to do is click "generate speech," and that's it . Here we have all the voices where you can listen to each one individually . Some won't be available with the free plan

[15:56] because some voices are only available with the paid plan, but you'll have access to some really, really good voices without having to pay anything. You would click "generate to anything. You would click "generate to speech" here to generate the audio, and it will

[16:08] before time existed, before there was light. Very important. Here you can control the speed, stability, similarity, and exaggeration of the voice. Before the first human being

[16:20] opened their eyes, before time existed, before there first human being opened. It's completely insane. In fact, I remember at the beginning when I started this business, the voice

[16:33] actors I hired couldn't even produce this kind of quality. For the thumbnails, I use Cloud and GPT chat. Why do I use Clou? Because Clou helps me generate the prompt, and GPT chat generates the image. Cloud generates images as of

[16:48] go to the reference channel; don't worry, we'll do it live now. We're going to generate the prompt based on that reference thumbnail, and then we're going to generate the thumbnail with GPT chat. Don't copy

[17:00] the exact same thumbnail; get inspired, do things similarly because in the end, you can't stray from the format that worked, but don't just have serious problems with YouTube. Imagine we want to

[17:13] replicate this thumbnail here; we'd have to download it or take a screenshot if we don't have BitQ [music], and in this case, open a new chat with Claudio and say, "I want you to [music] help me generate a prompt to

[17:27] create a thumbnail." I want the thumbnail to be similar, but not a copy- thumbnail to be similar, but not a copy- paste. The text in Spanish is important, and

[17:39] paste. The text in Spanish is important, and for example, if it's yellow here, put it in red. We'll paste the thumbnail we downloaded or took a screenshot of here, okay? We give it to cloud and it will automatically start

[17:51] generating the prompt. Notice that it already tells us, "Here's the prompt and it's putting it here." So now all we have to do is copy this prompt and go to GPT chat. I

[18:03] don't pay for GPT chat; I use the free GPT chat . So, we're going to put, . So, we're going to put, I want you to generate a thumbnail with this prompt and here we put, very important, below I'll put the

[18:17] reference thumbnail too, okay? And we'll add the reference thumbnail again . What we've put in GPT chat here is: I want you to have copied exactly the same prompt that Cloue gave us here. And

[18:30] look at the miniature, it's incredible. What he just did is complete madness. Note that I use Chat GPT for free, I don't pay for it. And look at the reference we had here and he's done the same thing, but even

[18:44] 10 times better. This is so you can see what you can really do with this and with artificial intelligence. And finally, editing would be needed. And what we do in the editing process is combine the voiceover that we have generated with eleven

[18:57] la Labs with certain stock images or certain stock clips that identify what is being narrated. You can use Capcut, which is completely free, or any editor that you find comfortable . The important thing is that the

[19:09] every few seconds so that YouTube doesn't detect that the content is repetitive or inauthentic. In the religious niche, what works best are cinematic images with dramatic lighting that convey that sense

[19:22] of mystery and spirituality. I want to emphasize that I recommend that someone, you do so, simply because an editor will cost you very little and it's the most tedious job to do. But if you're just starting out and

[19:37] can do it perfectly well yourself. And look, this whole process we've can do in just a few hours. Previously, you needed a team of four or five people to generate all of this. And not only the equipment, but it took

[19:51] days to produce a single video. Right now you can do it yourself from your own with the production cost of absolutely nothing in relation to what it used to you can generate. Before we continue, if you'd also like to generate $0,000 a month

[20:06] in the first line of this video's description you'll find a link where you can us. We will create a personalized action plan for you and support you until you achieve the same results. We continue. Now we're going to talk about

[20:20] publishing and how to scale it so that it's truly profitable. First, start a new channel, I publish between four and five videos per week. reference channels do and I replicate exactly that. If the

[20:34] videos a day, I start with four or five a week and little by little, when my videos start performing better, I increase that weekly posting. publishing. And this is something that many people overlook, and it's very important. Before

[20:48] uploading your first video, subscribe to those channels you consider important. In this type of videos you are going to upload and what audience your videos will need to be recommended to. Third, optimize the channel. In the channel settings, in

[21:01] the keywords section, put all the keywords for your niche, in this case, Bible, religion, spirituality, God and all those helps YouTube understand more quickly which audience

[21:14] channel inside, this channel you're watching, Eric Alanis's channel, this is YouTube Studio and if you go to channel settings here you'll see where you can keywords you want. Now I want to be completely honest with you. When

[21:28] expect immediate results. The views. And that doesn't mean you're doing it wrong, it means there's an algorithmic process. YouTube needs time to understand your channel and to

[21:41] n't worry if your first videos get very few views, because, 're doing anything wrong. And when do I start analyzing metrics? I'm sure you're wondering that. Once you have thousands of views

[21:55] on your channel, that's when it makes sense to do it, because metrics with few views mean nothing and you can't analyze anything. Once you have real traffic, then you can properly measure your CTR, retention, RPM, and adjust accordingly

[22:08] . And most importantly, don't expect the perfect channel. There is no perfect channel. The perfect channel will be the one you implement as soon as possible, because the sooner you implement it, the sooner you will make mistakes and the sooner

[22:20] you can learn from those mistakes. This is not something that can be scaled overnight, but it is possible. It requires consistency, it requires hours, and it requires execution, but the results are there for those who take it seriously. To

[22:32] give you an idea of ​​the potential, a religion channel with long videos, good RPM, and good retention can scale to over $3,000 per month in less than 3 months. And if you diversify and open several channels in a year, you can

[22:45] have results you can't imagine. And that's all you need to know to generated religious videos . We've looked at the reference channel, we've seen why the niche works, how to find the ideas, how to

[22:58] produce the content, and how to publish and scale the channel. The tools are there, the niche is validated, the barrier to entry is extremely low. All you need to do is play [music]. It's not that it's simple, it doesn't require

[23:10] little work, it requires hours, consistency, it requires making mistakes and this point, it's because you're interested in generating income with YouTube channels made with artificial intelligence. If you want us to guide you to

[23:22] achieve those $3,000 a month results, in the first line of the schedule a consultation call with us. We have hundreds of success stories, as you can see on screen, of people who are literally making a living from this

[23:35] thanks to learning a good skill within the academy. Those people have had a path, a clear direction, and have not stumbled upon the mistakes that I help you achieve those results,

[23:48] See you in another video, and remember that the sky is not your limit.
