YouTube Automation: The New Internet Guru Business

[00:01] not yet very well known among Spanish speakers, is how to automate a YouTube channel how to automate a YouTube channel

[00:17] Hammam, well seen 7 by My Senses Paris, warned that they want to do it without our presence, without recording the videos, and without us editing or creating the content. Recently, a new way to make money online has emerged:

[00:32] other business models such as e-commerce, where you have to trading, where you have to deal with a lot of charts and risk your money, YouTube is a much simpler business model. You just have to

[00:45] create videos, activate monetization, and earn money. And if this doesn't seem simple enough, let's add automation to the equation. This means you won't even have to create the videos. After being motivated

[00:58] automation gurus, I'm going to try it for myself. You can really make money with YouTube automation, but let's set a more specific goal: the minimum requirements that YouTube demands for To monetize a

[01:10] channel, you need 4,000 hours of watch time and a total of 1,000 subscribers. Can I meet the requirements in a month? Place your bets!

[01:24] Great stories don't tell themselves. The lone hero doesn't survive, and I, as a young novice, am aware that if I want to accomplish this great feat, I must find a mentor, someone to train me, guide me, and

[01:38] teach me their method. I scour the far reaches of the internet in search of my master. I meet wise and capable men. It turns out that the guy from MMD (you guys get paid) has an online academy, but it's in English, so I continue my

[01:50] who claims to have earned half a million euros, an Argentinian who must be about 13 years old, and my favorite, Carlos Destellos. He taught how to earn money with automated channels, more than six figures a year. In his photos, you can see he has a BMW, a villa with a

[02:05] pool, and horses—clear proof that this guy knows what he's talking about. As if that weren't enough, his website says he's an expert in YouTube monetization and automation, according to Will Back Machine. That same year, on that same website, he said he

[02:17] was an expert in monetization and creating Instagram profiles. You know what that means? That he's a versatile guy. Carlos Destellos is destined to be my mentor. I access his masterclass where he promises that for a modest price, he'll

[02:30] teach me a method to schedule at least two thousand euros a month with video on the channel, which I recommend you watch if you haven't already, before offers me a method in a course valued at 997 euros, but how come the

[02:45] buy it the same day with an offer that reduces it to 297 euros. Not a bad offer. I swipe my card and my training begins.

[03:01] This platform, Destellosdigital.com, will be my training ground for the next few days. It seems that the training has a perfectly detailed system, psychologically structured and didactically presented through

[03:13] modules so that with great effort, one becomes a champion of YouTube automation. The first module is quite basic. It teaches me that I need a theme and a name for the channel and then to create a banner. And logo. I'm still learning ideas

[03:25] for making viral videos, ways to find copyright-free content, how to make thumbnails, edit videos, and most importantly, the method for delegating and method, I have to find a title for the video. I have to do this myself; I ca

[03:38] n't delegate it. Then I have to find a reference video. I must one dollar—this is what Sensei says, not me—and give them the title and the reference so they can Next step: give the script to a voice actor with a good voice and a good microphone so they can

[03:52] create the audio for two dollars. And the last phase: find a Venezuelan editor, also, to edit the video for five dollars. But Sensei doesn't also talks about algorithms. According to his extensive experience, the best thing is to

[04:05] scheduled for the same days and times. This, according to him, trains the algorithm. At this point, I'm exhausted with so much training, so much valuable content in my brain. I must continue if I want to succeed in

[04:18] this venture, so I go back to training, and wow. I finished it, how strange. Before paying, Sensei promised me more than 10 hours of content, and I added up resulting in a total of 205.01 minutes. Dividing that by 60, we

[04:33] get that the course is actually 3 lessons with 41 hours. I already found it strange that the shirt I wore in lesson 1 was exactly the same as the one worn in every single lesson, right up to the farewell, friends. It seems that,

[04:45] unfortunately, Sensei has me hooked, not only because the actual number of hours advertising claims, but also because after completing the course, I'm not 100% happy. Furthermore, at no point during the entire course does he show a real-world example of

[04:58] an automated channel; he only shows statistics on the money he's earned and this type of business, it's very common to hide these kinds of things. If you find a niche that works, is profitable, and has little competition, you're not going to keep

[05:10] bragging about it. But in a course you're selling for a thousand, let's see if money. Which seems to me a lot, it should be for that reason, not for teaching those kinds of details, personal experiences, things that are actually going to add value. You're

[05:24] explain what a Berlin video is because you can put that on YouTube and there are detail. You don't even pay a thousand euros to be taught how to download copyright-free images because you just search on Google and you'll find it. I have

[05:38] n't even created the channel yet and I've already been mutilated by my own sensei, but this is the first lesson: warrior, it's not the one who always wins, but the one who gets up after sleeping. [Music]

[05:59] channel. For that, the first thing I need is an idea. I sit on my thinking couch and search my mind for a million-dollar idea, but I'm desolate. The tradition of my mentor has taken its toll on my heart. I can't think clearly,

[06:11] and it's precisely then, in despair, that I stumble upon an old object. It was given to me by a wise man a long time ago, a millionaire, a massive, unstoppable action planner. The line. This is not a simple agenda. It's a map that

[06:26] points to freedom. It turns out the last pages of this notebook are reserved for writing down million-dollar ideas, and friends, I've written several. One of them goes back to a day when I was having breakfast in a small bar

[06:40] novel, so my senses were heightened, or rather, I was listening to other people's conversations because I felt alone. Behind me, a group of ladies—the kind who do n't yet take Dermo but there they are—were arguing about their children,

[06:54] school, and teachers. Apparently, fate had brought together six mothers of brilliant children who all had one thing in common: poor academic performance. Coincidences of life, this poor performance was due, in

[07:07] every case, to the teachers' incompetence in not knowing how to value wondered what these ladies would be looking for when they got home: "My child is gifted. How to know if my child is gifted? IQ test?"

[07:22] And it's for my friends. It's my million-dollar idea. Do you want to know if your child is gifted? Do you want to know if you are? So, I present to you Gifted C's, the ultimate YouTube channel for people who think they might

[07:35] might be gifted. Without further ado, I do the designs myself, and professional than the design of my personal channel. I'll have to

[07:47] titles and references for the videos, and here's where my ingenuity takes off: 10 Signs You're High and That My Child Is Gifted, How to Get into Mensa, How to Increase Your IQ, Easy Parentheses, and an endless

[07:59] genius within them. With the channel created and the ideas prepared, it's channel created and the ideas prepared, it's time to recruit the team

[08:15] qualified men on the market. I need a writer who will dedicate themselves to writing the video scripts, the voice actor who will give the channel its voice, and the geek who will spend hours and hours in front of the computer re-editing the videos. The

[08:28] on Instagram to recruit employees, but he was wrong. It's well known that for To recruit these men, you have to delve into the darkest ruins of the old internet, the webmaster forums. I register on a forum with the

[08:42] name "Maximum Entrepreneur" and the profile picture of Maximus Decimus Meridius, loyal Aurelius, so they know I'm a stoic businessman and I'm serious. I business section to find a copywriter for a dollar and wait. In a short time,

[08:56] willing to accept the job without asking many questions. I give him four Meanwhile, some on the forum rise up against me or react to the ad slavery. It seems this forum is full of communists, but I'm the

[09:12] is to find a voice actor for two dollars. I post the ad and several voice actors respond, although most of them have a somewhat strange voice or terrible audio quality. All except one who has a good YouTube voice and quality that

[09:25] treats us badly. There's only one problem: he's Argentinian. 10 signs that you have a High, and I'll keep it anyway when you come to finish the 4 planes in the gradually taking them up. I put out another ad to find an editor, and

[09:39] a Venezuelan writes to me willing to charge $5 per video. I commission 2, and in a week I can already upload my first two videos. Then I upload the videos and get 8 views. It seems it's going to be difficult to get the thousand

[09:51] viewing, and if that weren't enough, the scriptwriter is quitting to work with me anymore, probably because of pressure from the union members on the forum. They send me a message complaining about a script of 1800 words. I read it right. I

[10:04] but it seems it isn't because the editor also rebels against me. He says he won't work for me anymore if I don't pay him at least $15 per video, but until I get down to $11 per video. And after seeing how my screenwriter, the

[10:19] inventor, betrays me, something starts to change in me. It's as if I start to Workers' rights. I speak privately with a writer who has a discount of up to 35 cents per 100 words, and without negotiating, I agree to pay her not 40

[10:33] but 50 cents per 100. At 1,200 words, a script comes out to six euros. But before closing the deal, the writer gives me a warning: "I'm about to have my daughter (parenthetical: childbirth), but

[10:46] that doesn't prevent me from writing it unless it happens at any moment, and the moment it happens, I'll let you know, and you know it will disappear for a maximum of 34 days. Is this an impediment, or does it give you some kind of phobia?" And I reply: "No problem, you can

[10:58] deliver the scripts one by one. What's happening to me? Am I communist? Yes, I feel it. The power of Marx and Engels is within me, and now YouTube algorithm with fair compensation for the proletariat."

[11:13] proletariat." [Music] well-oiled. It begins to upload the videos with some regularity. It seems to be

[11:26] editor is preventing me from uploading three videos a week, only allowing two. However, the channel channel gets over 100 views with just two videos. The far off. Of course, I've made it a rule not to use my personal social media

[11:41] to get traffic because that would manipulate the results of this experiment. This battle is between my soldiers and the algorithm. At one point, the editor has her baby, named Cristal. I congratulate her and

[11:53] allow her to enjoy her child for three days, no more. This project is very the third week, I have a whopping 78,000 views and 7,000 hours of watch time, and I reach 1,000 subscribers on

[12:10] August 31st. Thanks to the power of communism, friends! Despite having everything against me, the unionization of my workers, with vision, effort, and

[12:22] I've managed to monetize a YouTube channel in accept YouTube's terms and conditions, sync with my AdSense account, and wait for

[12:34] decide it's good enough to put ads on. They say YouTube can take up to a whole month to approve channel monetization, but you could also wait a day or a week. On my main channel, I think it took a week—a week that could

[12:47] feel like an eternity to anyone, since even though I meet the requirements, YouTube different reasons, like copyright issues, inappropriate content, videos that don't comply with their policies. Enough waiting! They finally accepted me. As of today, the

[13:00] channel has been monetized for four days and has generated a total of $45. From that, I have to subtract the €297 I paid for the course, the €34 they paid for the scripts, €18 for voiceovers, and €104 for re-editing the

[13:13] videos, which gives me a total investment of €453. In the end, I'm a little in the red, but I still have one last card to play: the 30-day money-back guarantee. Apparently, in six days, if I didn't get results... They gave me a

[13:26] achieve results, I'm requesting a refund because the results are solely due to my own ingenuity and not to what I learned in the course. Life throws you curveballs, and by the time I realize it, they've already refunded my money without

[13:38] asking any questions. To avoid being criticized for dividing them among the three workers: 100 euros for the editor, 100 euros for the voice actor, and 100 euros for the scriptwriter. Don't come at me with the argument that the proportions

[13:51] to prevent a Twitter thread. Of course, I haven't forgotten the one dollar per piece, and I'm paying him another fifty euros. And we need to talk about this.

[14:07] Before anything else, I have to say that I've had relative success, and it's true that there could be a business in this model, or three weeks is quite an achievement. It took me

[14:24] in mind that they, or YouTube, spend all day either making videos or watching other people's videos, seeing what they do, how they do it, what develop an eye for creating titles and thumbnails that will work, and in

[14:37] fact, this relative success is due to one video that worked. Of all the has surpassed two hundred thousand views, and obviously of the watch time come from that video. I'm not going to say it was

[14:51] luck, but more or less this channel is monetized because I hit the mark with a video that could have missed the mark. Then, in terms of money, how does this translate? The channel has had an average of $192 in RPM during these four days. It's not

[15:05] for a channel where basically nonsense is said. dollar per 1,000 views. With this RPM, if all the views had been amortized... 268,000 would have generated a total of

[15:21] $514.56, but the reality is that the channel has been monetized for four days and has generated $45 less. It's not clear at all; this income comes from exploiting very difficult situations. Perhaps paying €100, €200, or

[15:36] €300 per video isn't so profitable. And let's talk about this: the business of writers and editors on the internet is a very shady business. There are many exploitative practices where you can't pay a dollar for writing that will

[15:48] accept that, they must be in dire straits. Paying $510 to an editor taking advantage of people in very vulnerable situations. Why would they accept it if they had no other choice? Besides being ethically

[16:01] reprehensible, it's a very stupid business idea. If you pay a screenwriter a dollar, or very little, they'll have to living. You'll have to write a lot, and what's going to happen? They're

[16:14] not going to write amazing scripts for you. They'll take other articles, copy and paste, change the phrases so it's not obvious it's plagiarism, make spelling mistakes, other kinds of errors. And if you pay an editor peanuts, the

[16:27] same thing will happen: they'll put together a collection of images, many times those images will have nothing to do with the hidden content, they'll put 'm not criticizing it, it's just that for that price they can't do anything

[16:40] YouTube with those videos, forget it, because people aren't going to stay. that the video is crap, and leave, and YouTube doesn't like that much either. Then sometimes they label me as the guy who hates business, hates

[16:54] 'm the first one interested in these things, digital business. My job is YouTube, I was making websites, writing articles. For a dollar, like a kid editing videos for five euros. I'm not against entrepreneurship,

[17:09] make money online. What I am against is people who send fake messages to sell their thousand-euro course: "Take my euros a month." Come on! From what I see, there's no way to make

[17:23] money online, and I'm increasingly convinced that there's no this case, there was no way to pay others. So they make the video and upload it to YouTube, that's what you call a method. I don't need to pay

[17:36] promises a return of 2,000 have to do something exceptional. And to finish with an assessment of this business model, I think it has two features that are flawed or poorly conceived, at

[17:49] least. It's based on two things: not showing your face and getting likely to end up being a shoddy job. We and fast, they'll do it in a rush, just like a shoddy job. But then there's

[18:05] better not to show your face online, I understand that, okay. But in this case, there interesting reason to show it. You take a photo, you style your hair, you try to look your best. Well, in this case, for making videos, it's the same.

[18:20] effort into making that video good because nobody wants their image to be... It's a shoddy job. Now, if you do it secretly, without anyone caring, it's in any project you have to risk something. You choose: money, image, or

[18:35] both. But the moment you risk something, you're going to force yourself to money, you're going to make sure those videos are good because you don't want to to make sure those videos are good because you don't want to make a

[18:48] fool of yourself. Doing projects this way, paying the bare minimum, without showing your anything, I think they're doomed to be shoddy. And on YouTube, with shoddy work, you're not going to get far. And with that, the independent PRI round is over.

[19:02] Bye. [Music]
