In modern societies, how to make a living has changed tremendously. Particularly after the pandemic which was supposed to deform the world we used to know and make us get used to a new one.
The new world has made people more internet-dependant, media-based indecisive, and subconsciously craving guidance and instruction. That is why all around the globe, people who have realized the potential for business in such a norm, have already started.
Choose the Niche and Name of Your YouTube Channel
Choosing the niche that you are truly interested in could be tricky. Since you cannot change it much through time, it is better to choose something that will remain your passion for a decade. Do you imagine yourself eight years later posting videos about the same topic that you want to do now? If so, let’s get the ball rolling.
After selecting your NICHE and NAME for your channel, you can also ask AI to help you develop a good name and niche for your YouTube activity. Yet, I believe it is not a big deal that someone would go to trouble doing that.
Describe Your Channel
Describing your channel is of high importance unlike what some assert. Since it is a part of the first impression your channel will make on the audience in the first place. That is why you should try to select it wisely.
Try to keep it brief, yet, sufficient and thorough
It must be simple and to the point, include reference links to your social media, and freely communicate with the viewer conveying your brand’s mission and what is expected to see in the contents.
Each of the mentioned items could make your description a good one.
Look at this example belonging to a recently opened channel which we altered everything to test some ideas for this article.
Although I wrote it off the top of my head, I believe it expresses what I meant by being brief, yet thorough without elaborate exaggerations.
Go fishing- Selecting the Best Idea for Your Next/First Video
The best way is to trust your guts, do not be intimidated by the overwhelming ideas already floating online all over the internet. Believe in yourself, choose your topic, and do your best.
Now the whole point of this article is me telling you how you can adopt AI to generate the whole video for you without charging you a single penny! Wait, it gets better, you can also have AI narrate the video professionally.
For instance, like the channel shown above, if you want to generate content relevant to ancient mythologies, you can narrate ancient tales of Nordic mythology, Persian, Indian, Chinese / Japanese lore, Native American, or Greek ones.
The thing is, own the idea and the narration. The angle through which you are looking at any point, might extremely affect the results and make your channel come off as a different one in that niche. For example you can go through our marketing strategies suggested in different articles related to a specific career such as How to Make money using AI
The equipment, techniques, strategies all of these are not nearly as significant and effective as you remaining authentic. Of course, you need to be trained to learn how we can look at every subject from all angles, precisely like the Cubism in painting. For instance, if I am a Shoe Store owner trying to get viewers and sell products in the meantime, what should I do?
You have two options:
- Ask AI to do all the work
- You come up with an idea of your own and order AI to do the rest of the work.
Which one would you go for?
Let me show you a sample of me asking AI to generate three unique ideas imagining that I am a shoe store owner. There are multiple choices for this, I mean AI that can aid you in this regard.
I work with two AI mostly which are:
- Copilot which belongs to Microsoft is a great AI
- Gemini, Google properties, amazing AI
The following conversation occurs with Copilot,
Ben:
“Be a creative consultant for a shoe store sales YouTuber. Based on their target audience—the youth, athletes, and seniors—and on the themes that proved to be very successful before, among which are sneakers and unique designs, suggest three different video content ideas with a brief script for one of them.”
Copilot Response:

As you can see above there are not that many extra-ordinary ideas that no one can come up with. If one exposes themselves to the target content and context long enough and train brainstorming in the proper way. It is done smoothly and fast.
Create Videos by AI for YouTube Channel
In order to generate videos fully done by AI, there used to be only one Artificial Intelligence being capable of such thing, yet, another one has been recently yielding good results. Thus, I introduce both of them.
Firstly, we begin with InVideo which has both an application and on web versions that you can work with.
After signing in with your Gmail account, all you have to do is write the description of what you need in your video and InVideo will do the rest in a blink of an eye. I know it is not easy to believe, but it is delightful and true. In addition, make sure you choose the right category beneath the page such as YouTube Explainer, YouTube Shorts, etc.
If there is something that is required to be there you can make your prompt more detailed, otherwise, it should be direct, brief, and to the point.
Let’s test it together. Since it might be more attractive and narrative, shall we ask InVideo to narrate a story from Nordic Mythology? We can even leave it to InVideo to go and search a trendy story that will be embraced by the viewers.
My Prompt:
“Generate a video by narrating a catchy tale of Nordic Mythology, something that will be welcomed by the viewers and you think it will go viral soon. The video is to be shown on Mystic_Oracles on Youtube.”
After selecting YouTube explainer you see this form. First, you can choose the length of the video ranging from 15 seconds to 25 minutes. Here is a thorough example of the form being filled:
As you can see in the first box, we can instruct the AI again with more aspects or illuminating facts about the video, and in the second box, we should give details if necessary!
The incredible thing is that you are able to describe the sensation of the background music AI is going to generate for your video, and you describe how it should make the audience feel while watching the video, That’s magic!
It goes on with selecting the narrator’s gender and even accent, whether there should be a subtitle and if yes, what does it look like? You get to have a say in every detail since it is your own video.
The result is this. AI modified the prompt based on our choices and opinions.
If you scroll down, you see even the setting is included in the command.
The last touch is determining how your video should look and feel like and the platform it will be published in.
The topic is also available up in the photo, AI has assumed it could go viral I guess.
I chose one minute for the length and as you can see a fully narrated video with music and everything is in front of me. If you didn’t like something you can add it to the commands in the bar below. Moreover, if you press the edit button you are allowed to modify everything to match your taste even the script.
Now our video is ready and prepared.
Let’s move on to the second user-friendly AI tool. VEED is the second AI platform by which you can easily generate videos about any topic you desire. After comfortably signing in with your Gmail account. You will be here, and your dashboard will show different options and services.
AI Text to Video would be exactly what we just did with InVideo I will show you the initial steps so that there would be no stone unturned but it follows the same procedure. After selecting SCRIPT TO VIDEO the new page has a box where you can describe your desired video just like the previous one with Invideo, also you can choose one of the options below to determine the form of your generated video such as TikTok video or YouTube.
The main difference between InVideo and Veed is the details and delicacy of the work. As you encountered every step of the way with me, I am positive you are on the same wavelength with me, that is why for this form of video production I would definitely go for InVideo for many reasons.
First and foremost, InVideo even asks how your music makes the audience feel, the accent of the narrator could be Texan or from New York, you see? Even the style of your subtitle could be customized. Nonetheless, in Veed you just describe and press generate, and there you have your video. Images are mostly general and irrelevant, a modern-looking man has nothing to do with a myth from ancient Mesopotamian mythologies going back to the first civilizations of mankind.
On the left, there are options to modify the video as well as the bottom timelines showing layers. Yet, any change would require your premium membership as I tried multiple times to change the background music which was too kind and mellow for such an epic tale.
Although InVideo defeated Veed in video generation by one click, its ace would be the diversity of services available to clients and viewers. Take a look at the image below.
Again, the downside is the limit put for clients. Some initial very simple structures are available for you to use for your own business but if you wish to change something such as the music, animation of the text, etc. You are required to sign in to purchase one of the three programs they offer, otherwise, the services are locked.
It goes without saying why I always use Invideo if I want to do such a task. Many people are making money just by using InVideo daily and directly uploading the results on their YouTube channel. If you haven’t started yet. Give it a shot!
Monetizing Your Videos on YouTube
After maintaining your grounds in the niche you have chosen and showing persistence and discipline in addition to heightening the quality of your content and visual elements involved of course. It leads to a surge in the number of your subscribers. YouTube starts paying you after the number of views on each of your posts reaches a certain level.
