7-Day Journey: Exploding an AI YouTube Shorts Channel - Astonishing Outcomes
Have you ever watched those fact videos on YouTube that keep you entertained and astonished at the same time? You know, the ones that reveal fascinating tidbits of information, like the fact that Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse got married in real life. Well, did you know that these channels are actually making thousands of dollars every month from AdSense, thanks to the millions of views they receive? It's true!
So, naturally, I got curious and decided to create my own YouTube shorts channel in this niche. And in this blog post, I'll share with you the exact steps I followed to create these shorts, as well as the astounding results I achieved in just one week of posting them. Are you ready for this thrilling journey? Let's dive right in!
Astonishing Outcomes: Exploding an AI YouTube Shorts Channel
Day One: Researching the Niche
On the first day, I spent several hours immersing myself in research about this niche and trying to uncover the secret formula used by these successful channels. And guess what? I found it! It all starts with an intriguing fact, something that grabs the viewer's attention right from the start. For example, "One day, you and your childhood friends went out to play for the last time, and none of you realized it." Can you imagine the curiosity that sentence sparks?
Next, they give the video a catchy title, like "Worst Facts Ever That You Probably Didn't Know." This sets the stage for what's to come. And what's to come? More mind-blowing facts, of course! The video just keeps listing one fascinating fact after another, keeping the viewers hooked until the very end. To enhance the video's impact, they add a voice over and edit it with subtitles. But here's the best part - I found an AI tool that does all of this for me, with just a simple text prompt!
Day Two: Discovering the AI Tool
Excited by the possibilities, I immediately started my search for the perfect AI tool. And that's when I stumbled upon InVideo.io">ai.invideo.io. This incredible tool allows you to create YouTube shorts by simply giving it a prompt. So, I typed in the following prompt: "Create a 30-second YouTube short about the funniest facts about American people, with a realistic, human-sounding voiceover." Can you feel the excitement building?
Now, the AI tool asked me about the type of audience I wanted to target and the desired tone for the video. Of course, I chose the "General audience" option to maximize its appeal. And just like that, the magic began!
Cue the Chuckles: The Power of AI
Did you know that the average person laughs 13 times a day? Or that we're more likely to remember something if it's funny? Mind-blowing, right? Well, with a few simple edits, I tailored the script to my liking. Goodbye, unnecessary sentence. And hello, "I bet you didn't know this!" Plus, I added a note to myself to change the background music later. Now, it was time to export the short and bring it to life!
Day Three: Adding the Finishing Touches
But first, a little confession. The AI tool I used had its limitations on the free plan, which meant that there were watermarks on my video. Not exactly ideal, right? So, if you're serious about this strategy, I highly recommend subscribing to the $20 plan. Trust me, it's worth it to avoid those pesky watermarks!
Anyway, I decided to use Canva to add some background music to my video. It was as simple as dragging the video and the music onto the timeline and adjusting the volume. And voila! My first short was complete and ready to be shared with the world!
Results: A Rollercoaster Ride
After 16 hours, I eagerly checked the analytics for my first short. To my disappointment, it only had 600 views. But instead of giving up or feeling discouraged, I decided to dive back into research mode and figure out what went wrong.
And guess what? I found the solution! It turned out that all the successful facts channels put multiple facts in one short, while I had only included one. So, armed with this newfound knowledge, I went back to the AI tool and created another short, this time with more facts in the script. And the results were mind-blowing! In just one day, the second short had 5,000 views!
Excited by this success, I created a few more shorts using the same strategy for the rest of the week. By the end of the first week, I had accumulated a staggering 70,000 views with only four shorts posted! The best part? My best-performing short got a whopping 9,000 views on the first day, and the average view duration was close to 90%.
But here's a word of advice: Sometimes, YouTube might not immediately push your short to the right audience. But don't let that discourage you! Give YouTube some time, and soon enough, it will find the perfect audience for your content. And speaking of audiences, it's fascinating to note that most of the viewers who watched my shorts were from top world countries like the USA and the UK. So, no matter where you're located, YouTube has the potential to reach a global audience!
