From Scratch: Leveraging AI Video to Earn Ad Revenue on YouTube

Have you ever thought about using YouTube to earn ad revenue but struggled with not having your own website or blog, or even a structured email list? The good news is, times have changed! You no longer need any website; you can earn ad revenue from YouTube by creating AI-generated videos.

How Can We Leverage YouTube to Earn Money?

You might have heard that to earn money on YouTube, you need to build a website, blog, email list, and even invest a large amount of capital in advertising. In reality, you can simply create a focused video and earn substantial ad revenue from YouTube.

Imagine this: a short video that only has a few hundred thousand views can promote a safety tool worth $15, generating around $78,800 in ad revenue. This is the immense potential of YouTube, and these videos can also be repurposed on platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels for continuous income generation.

How to Find Valuable Products to Promote on YouTube?

The key to success lies in finding products that are welcomed by consumers. YouTube offers a wealth of tools and resources to help you discover these products.

First, visit YouTube’s “Trending” page, which showcases products that are currently hot in the market. Typically, products in the home improvement category are good choices because they are not only welcomed but also have a conversion rate of around 4.5%.

When selecting products, pay attention to the following three key factors:

• Price Range: Aim for products priced between $30 and $200. Lower prices may indicate lower earnings, while higher prices could lead to reduced sales volume.
• Review Count: Look for products with at least 100 to 15,000 reviews. Fewer reviews may suggest that the product has not been tested enough, while more reviews could indicate that the market is already saturated.
• Star Rating: Choose products with four stars or higher.

Once you find a product that meets these criteria, search for its name on Google. If the search results mostly come from major retailers, then this product may not have much promotional space left. However, if you see a large number of blog reviews, YouTube videos, or Pinterest images, then this is a sign that the product has already gained market recognition and still has significant growth potential.

How to Use AI Technology to Create High-Conversion Videos?

For various AI tools, selecting a video creation tool that works well is crucial. Here, we use Top View AI’s latest product—Virtual Influencer 2.0. This tool allows your virtual influencer to not only perform but also interact with the product in real-time, similar to a real influencer.

Using Top View AI, you can upload product images, and the AI will automatically generate a complete video, showcasing your product in a professional manner.

Steps to Create a Video

4. Generate Video: Paste the script into the script section of Top View AI, select a voiceover, add subtitles, and then click generate; you will get a video that looks like it was created by a real influencer.

Promoting Your Video on YouTube Shorts

After creating a high-quality video, how to promote it is extremely important, as this affects your conversion rate and revenue. YouTube Shorts is currently one of the most effective promotion methods, as they are free, easy to create, and can potentially reach hundreds of thousands of views in a short time. To promote your video, first, you need to create a YouTube channel (if you don’t have one yet), and then upload your Shorts.

In YouTube Studio, you can set a link to your YouTube affiliate store, which will appear in your channel description. Remember to add some relevant keywords in the description of your Shorts to increase the visibility of your video. Choose a suitable time to publish your Shorts and maintain a regular schedule for new content; this is key to improving your video conversion rate.

In summary, earning money on YouTube is not impossible, especially with the strong support of AI technology, even without your own website or blog. By selecting the right products, using AI tools to create high-quality videos, and effectively promoting through YouTube Shorts, you can achieve significant revenue!
