Monetizing AI Content on YouTube

Can you monetize AI content on YouTube? The short answer is yes, but in this video,

I want to show you what it actually takes to get your AI content monetized and how you could stay

away from demonetization. There's a ton of different narratives being pushed. Even when

you go to Google and you ask, can you monetize AI content on YouTube? The answer is yes. YouTube

pays for AI generated videos through their YouTube partner program, but only if they

add original human value and adhere to strict monetization guidelines. So I want to take you

through those guidelines so you could actually keep your content monetized when using AI.

Now this channel here in particular, I'll go ahead and refresh the page so you know it's legit,

is actually using AI for all of its thumbnails. And even throughout the video, we use AI for video

clips. And as you can see in the past 90 days, it's done a little over $36,000 with no demonetization.

And yes, you can still monetize a video that's fully AI generated. I want to keep this video

pretty concise for you guys. So I'm going to take you through the exact guidelines that YouTube

makes you follow when monetizing your AI videos. So step one to monetizing your AI content is going

to be authenticity. Don't fall into the trap thinking you can just repackage someone's video

by regenerating the scene and writing their script a little bit differently because YouTube will pick

up on that. And that's not something for them to reward. They're pretty much hitting you with the

copyright strike without hitting you with a copyright strike because technically there's

nothing to actually copyright. It's just completely inauthentic content. And again, just like Google

says here, if you add original human value to your AI content or you have an original idea in your

head and you use AI to display it, that is something they're going to reward you for. Now, when it

comes to actually creating authentic AI content, there's three rules I like to follow. Number one

is just niche down. Pick a niche or video style that you enjoy yourself. So in the script, whether

it's generated or you write the full thing, you can add your own personal sentiment or at least

fact check it to make sure everything's true. Number two is going to be the video concept itself.

You can scroll through niches and get inspiration as to what's going viral and what's trending right

now, but don't copy someone's exact idea. This might work, but on scale, this probably isn't

going to get monetized even if you get monetized for a week or two. If you're just stealing video

ideas and then generating a new script for it, that's not really that original and it's not

adding that much value to your channel. Now, lastly is the script. A big misconception is that you

can't use AI when writing your script, and I know a lot of AI softwares out there are not very good

at writing scripts, but if you use something like Clickmax Studio, which actually writes

structured scripts for your idea, you're not going to get

get demonetized if you have an original video idea

and it writes a fully structured script for you.

Now, an example of a terrible niche to get into

as a beginner is the sleepy story time niche.

I've had dozens of people reach out to me

over the past two weeks telling me they're gonna get

into the sleepy story time niche.

These videos here might get monetized on some channels,

but there's two problems there.

Number one, it's probably not original.

And number two, the chance of you getting monetized

and staying monetized are extremely low.

I see so many gurus saying to go into this niche

because how easy it is to explain

and then they just sell you on their software.

But that's not how you build a valuable channel.

The biggest mistake that these creators make

when using an AI voiceover

is lying to the YouTube guidelines.

When you're about to post a video,

just scroll down where it says show more

and then scroll down to the AI use section

and just click yes.

Like we already talked about,

YouTube is not gonna demonetize you

if you use AI in your video.

It comes down to the authenticity

and human thought behind the video.

And I know it gets a bit confusing

when it comes to AI voiceovers

because their guidelines here don't mention AI voiceovers,

but just click yes.

And if your video is original,

they will still monetize you.

Now it gets a bit tricky when you do your own voiceover

on your AI generated content,

because in that case,

you probably don't need to select yes on this

because there's clearly a voiceover from a real human.

And it gets even more muddy when it comes to cloning

your own voice for an AI voiceover.

I've heard many people say

that you don't need to mark this as yes

when you clone your own AI voice

because you still own the rights to it.

But if you're using something like ClickMax Studio

where you're generating an AI voiceover,

you don't actually own that voice.

So when you say it's yours or it's not AI,

then they're gonna flag you for that

because you didn't disclose it.

So that's that out of the way.

We got the authenticity down.

We got the voiceovers.

What do we actually do

when it comes to generating the video itself?

And most importantly, how do you stay monetized?

I already said I liked 2D animation the most

because it's so versatile when you're picking your niche.

But the other good reason is that it's extremely cheap

and it's extremely easy to generate.

And there's two different routes you can go

when it comes to creating AI-generated 2D animation.

And the first route you can go,

which I like to use in my videos,

is just using an AI image generator.

That means no actual videos throughout the entire video.

You just generate different scenes as if it is a video

and then compile them all together.

Let me show you what that looks like real quick

and what my process is

when it comes to creating the actual video itself.

The first step is finding an AI animation style

that you like

and then replicating it on the image generation.

So what I'm gonna do is just.

the videos I have uploaded because I know I already like this style. But while we're here,

let me just show you what I mean by not actually generating any videos.

Number five, Boanthropy. Although it may sound fake, Boanthropy is a mental disorder in which

a person believes they're a cow. Not only do they think they're a cow, but they act-

So it might appear as if this is a video, but all this is is different images being compiled

together. So it makes it look like the character's mouth is moving or this guy is eating the grass

or whatever it is. Now this was two years ago, so the quality of these images are not very good.

And my designer at the time was relatively cheap. So, you know, he wasn't top tier or anything.

So once you actually get your screenshots from your video and feel free to use this

as an example, go and screenshot the frames. I really don't care. So once you've gotten your

screenshots from whatever style of animation you like, just go ahead and upload them to

ClickMack Studio like this. Then kind of describe the style you're going for with the attached

images and explain what you want the scene to look like. Before I click generate, the other

route that you can go, which is a little more timely, but can make your video more authentic,

is creating the image of the scene first and then going down to your agent mode here, switching it

to video and then turning that image into a little video. I personally just like the images more

because it looks more like a natural, realistic animation. And since video generation isn't as

good as image generation, it doesn't come out exactly the way you want it. So it ends up being

little more expensive and taking more time. But anyways, let's just go ahead and click generate

and you'll see the scene that it creates. And this is how the image of the scene came out.

I think it looks really funny and it definitely followed the style that I was going for,

which is good. Like all I said in the prompt was to follow the style of the attached images

and create a scene of a guy holding a leash of an obese cat with a really muscular arm.

And it did exactly that. Now, if you want to create a secondary part of this scene to

merge them together and make it look like a video, this is all you have to do. Just take

the image that was generated, drag and drop it into the prompt bar. So for this scene,

I'm just telling it to follow the same quality and textures as the attached image, but make

it look like the guy dropped the leash and the cat is jumping towards him to attack. And let's

just click generate and see what this generates. All right. So here's the image generation. It

looks pretty good, followed the same style and everything like that. So what we're going to do

now is just put them into the video timeline on ClickMax. So you can see what I mean about

creating a video without actually generating AI videos. We'll just go ahead and drag and drop this

first image into the timeline and then the second image into the timeline. And then what you would

do is just make them a bit shorter, because assuming you had a voice generation or a script

playing in the background.

These images would correlate to whatever that script is about pretty much you just shorten them up like this whatever and then as it talks

You know

it's like this here and then

Something happens and it switches to this like if we wanted to take it one step further

We can just tell it to generate an image make it look like the cat is now on top of him

And he's on the floor once again

Let's just generate this and then we'll play out the scene again in the timeline with these three images. All right

I'm not gonna lie. This one came out kind of funny, but it's perfect. I love it

So we're gonna go to video mode again

I'm gonna drag and drop this into here

This will give you a better idea of just what I mean by creating a video with just images because you know

You could you could see what's going on, even though it's just images playing, you know, you would make this much shorter

So this would really probably be about just a couple of seconds for each of the images playing

So it really looks something like this

You know to play out the scene now if you're making a full video or you know

You are actually using AI videos you want each scene to be about three to five seconds long, you know

Maybe shorter maybe longer depending on what the script is talking about

But the best pacing for a long-form video is a new scene or something new going on every three to five seconds

I don't mean a static image for three to five seconds

But I mean an entirely new scene whether that's new characters or a different location or something like that
