I Made a YouTube Shorts Automation Channel Using Only AI in 8 Minutes
Howto & Style
Introduction
In this article, I’ll detail the exact process I used to create a YouTube Shorts automation channel utilizing AI tools in under eight minutes. I was inspired by a successful channel that garners around 33 million views each month with only 11 videos. My goal was to replicate their success and demonstrate how anyone can do it too.
Step 1: Choosing a Niche
First, it's crucial to select a niche that resonates with your audience. I decided to focus on animals competing against each other, a format that's proven successful for several existing channels with millions of subscribers. This niche appeals to a broad audience and has the potential for numerous engaging video ideas.

Step 2: Naming the Channel
Next, I had to come up with a catchy channel name quickly. Using my AI tool, Tube Magic, I generated a variety of names based on my niche. After a few clicks, I found "Beast Battles," which I confirmed was available and not in use by a bigger channel.
Step 3: Creating Logo and Channel Art
Creating an appealing logo and channel art is next, but I prioritized speed and simplicity. With tools from Snapper.com, I utilized templates to whip up professional-looking graphics in under two minutes. For YouTube Shorts, the emphasis should be on content and viral potential rather than elaborate designs.
Step 4: Setting Up the YouTube Channel
Time for step four: setting up my YouTube channel. Following the guide available on my main channel, "Make Money Matt," I walked through the channel creation process and adjusted all necessary settings. This step took around 15 minutes.
Step 5: Generating Video Ideas
With my channel ready, I focused on generating compelling video ideas. I didn’t want to be limited by just a few videos, so I aimed to produce 30 video ideas which would allow me to post one Short per day. I examined the most popular videos of the channel I was emulating, taking note of the animals involved.
These included impressive creatures like black panthers, white lions, and woolly mammoths. The combinations are plentiful, and by referencing a Wikipedia page on apex predators, I was able to draft a list of 30 potential video topics in under three minutes.
Step 6: Crafting Scripts with AI
One of the most time-consuming parts of video production is writing scripts. However, thanks to AI, I didn't have to write them manually. Utilizing Tube Magic again, I generated scripts based on the ideas I had compiled. Alternatively, I used a new tool called VidAI to create videos directly from my prompts, allowing me to generate content quickly and efficiently.
Step 7: Uploading and Optimization
Finally, I prepared to upload my videos. By leveraging Tube Magic's warp upload feature, I was able to generate optimized titles and descriptions quickly. While tags are not critical for Shorts, having engaging titles can increase click-through rates significantly.
Conclusion
With these steps, I successfully created a YouTube Shorts channel optimized for growth. The combination of well-chosen niche, engaging content, and the efficiency of AI tools made the process seamless.
Now, anyone can replicate this success and begin their journey in creating engaging content on YouTube Shorts.
