Transcripts

YouTube shorts are going to be massive

in 2024 several channels like these are

already blowing up but the strategies

that worked a year ago are no longer

going to get you the views that's why

I'm going to start a brand new shorts

Channel and show you the exact steps

that you need to take to create a viral

shorts channel of your own make sure you

watch till the end because I'm also

going to show you how to make these

shorts in minutes without having to

strip record or edit any contest step

one is understanding what's trending so

this either open YouTube in incognito

mode or open a Google guest page this

gives us a whole new profile on YouTube

and the algorithm doesn't have any data

about us because we're not logged in

this means that it will show us the

videos that are popular right now and

not just videos that cater to our

specific interest and patterns on

YouTube next you need to scroll for some

time to see what is performing well on

shorts right now and no I'm not saying

that you should get entertained by this

you just need to see the niches that are

being pushed out to you the most I

scroll for a few hours and and there

were some very clear Trends so I went

ahead and noted down the niches that

appeared most often on my feied and

these were football basketball travel

gym and gaming now this in itself should

give you an idea of what niches you want

to cover but let's take it a step

further I want to create faceless videos

so my work in terms of production is

minimal I don't want to record anything

and one of the niches that stood out for

me in this area was travel and I

actually saw quite a few videos that

looked like this I'm going to share with

you my top five places to visit in

Europe now this is good and I'm going to

go ahead with travel as my niche of

choice it's super easy to create

faceless content in and it is super

popular but we need to narrow it down

further to ensure our content also gets

reached now once we have the broad Niche

we need to narrow it down so we can

eliminate competition and to do this a

great idea is to combine two popular

niches together to create something that

doesn't have a lot of content in it

right now for example I'm going to take

the travel Niche and the lisal niche to

create my own version of top five places

in different categories now before we

get down to creating our shorts let's

look at what others are doing in this

particular Niche this helps us scope out

any competition and understand what our

shorts need to look like plus what the

quality Benchmark should be like we have

to see if there is any competition and

if there is we will see what they're

doing and what is going well for them so

we know where to start I'll search on

YouTube for five best places and then go

to the short section here I will try to

find the competition after a good 34

minutes I found almost no competition in

this space the only Channel I found that

is doing something similar to my idea is

this channel the quality of the shorts

is not that good and I'm sure I can do

better so this is the niche that I'm

going for now let's get down to creating

our shorts when you're trying to create

a viral shorts Channel quantity is super

important which means you need to

publish at least one short every day so

you need a process in place that will

help you create quickly and easy doing

it manually is not an option because

that would mean scripting recording my

footage and voice over and editing on my

own thankfully I found an AI tool that

does all of this in minutes it's called

inv video Ai and I'm going to show you

exactly how you can make a short using

it in under 5 minutes first I will go to

ai. invideo.io next I will type The

Prompt in the Box here I will Ty create

a 30C YouTube short about best places to

visit before winter ends American me

voiceover now when I click enter in

video AI will do its job then it will

ask you which type of audience you want

how you want it to look and feel and of

course the platform which in this case

is YouTube shorts in a few minutes it

will then create the full short let's

take a look pop skies for skates in New

York City's iconic Central Park not a

fan of the cold escaped to Sunny

California's death valley surprisingly

alive with vibrant winter blooms but I

don't really feel like the American male

voiceover is working in this Niche so I

will change the type of VoiceOver I want

I will use this command box and I will

type change voice over to American

female now let's see how it looks skies

for skates in New York City's iconic

Central Park not a fan of the cold

escape to Sunny California's death

valley surprisingly alive this voice

fits so much better now I will tell it

to simplify the words used in the script

because we want the short to appear to a

broader audience meaning there shouldn't

be a language barrier let's see how it

looks or change skis for ice skates in

New York City's famous Central Park

don't like the cold run away to Sunny

California's death valley it's full of

bright flowers in winter that is pretty

good it rote the entire script without

me having to do anything now if you want

to make more specific edits to your

video you can click on this edit option

and this popup window will appear you

can then change the stock media used in

the video or you can change the script

if you want to rewrite something I want

to change the outro of the short so I

will finish it with the question that

can get viewers to comment on the

short now click on apply and invid AI

will change everything and let's see how

it looks that'll make you gasp would you

visit these places one day that was

awesome now go ahead click on export to

export the video keep in mind that you

will have a watermark with the free plan

so I went ahead and got the $20 paid

plan and I suggest you do the same if

you are serious about using my strategy

I already created shots like this and

ran this channel for 7 days to try this

Niche and the results blew my mind so if

you want to see what I did in those 7

days go ahead and watch this
