In today’s world, everyone wants to earn money from YouTube, but 99% of people never even start a channel. Why? Because they don’t know how to write scripts, they can’t edit videos, they hate their voice, or they’re not comfortable showing their face.
Good news: In 2025, you don’t need any of that. If you learn to use AI tools properly, you can automate everything.
Example: Take a look at this channel. With just 14 videos, it has gained over 75,000 subscribers. One of its videos uploaded 4 months ago has nearly 5 million views. This channel shares motivational stories and every part of the video is made using AI: no real voice, no face, even scripting and editing is AI-driven.

Step-by-Step Process to Start a Motivational YouTube Channel Using AI
Step 1: Create Your Channel
First, you need a name, logo, and channel art. Open ChatGPT and tell it:
“I’m starting a motivational story channel. Suggest 10 simple and unique names using words like inspire, dream, success, motivation.”
From the suggestions, I chose “Victory Tales.”
Search this name on YouTube > Filter by “Channel” type > Analyze competition. If existing channels with this name have low subs (like 4, 5, or 6), then it’s a good opportunity.
If the handle (@victorytales) is unavailable, simply add a suffix:
- VictoryTalesYT
- VictoryTalesTV
- VictoryTalesHub
I chose VictoryTalesYT and created the channel.
Step 2: Branding Assets (Logo & Channel Art)
Ask ChatGPT:
“Suggest 5 logo ideas for my channel ‘VictoryTalesYT'”
For example:
- Rising Mountain with Flag
- Victory Torch
- Emblem with Wings
Pick one (I chose the Rising Mountain). Provide details to ChatGPT for image style, colors, layout (circular/square). ChatGPT will guide you through logo generation (e.g., using Leonardo.ai).
Then, ask ChatGPT:
“Use this logo to create simple white-background channel art with the name included.”
Download, open YouTube’s channel art template in Photoshop, fit your image in the safe zone, save and upload it.
Step 3: Generating Content Ideas
Visit similar channels like Inspire Story Hub. Click on “Videos” > “Popular” and copy the top video titles.
Paste them into ChatGPT and say:
“Ignore view counts and suggest 10 new video titles based on these.”
Do this with more channels for unlimited ideas.
Step 4: Writing the Story
You have 3 options:
- Transcript Method: Copy a story from any existing YouTube video using the “Transcript” option and remove timestamps.
- Google Method: Search “Motivational Stories in Hindi” and pick from popular websites.
- Magic Prompt Method: Use ChatGPT with 6 attributes:
- Word Count (e.g. 1000 for a 5-6 min video)
- Setting (e.g. modern-day Indian city)
- Protagonist (e.g. a young boy, son of a vegetable seller)
- Tone (e.g. emotional, inspirational)
- Storytelling Framework (e.g. Hero’s Journey)
- Moral (e.g. Never Give Up)
Use these to instruct ChatGPT to write a detailed story.
Step 5: Voice Over with AI
Use ElevenLabs for realistic voiceovers.
- Select language: Hindi
- Voice tags: Narrative, Storytelling
- Age: Middle-aged or Old
Pick a voice like “Taksh” for a wise, calm tone. Adjust speed (~0.9) and stability (~55%) for emotional delivery.
Generate voiceover (split into parts if your script is long).
Step 6: Generate Visuals for Story
Use tools like Leonardo AI, Ideogram, Bing Image Creator, or Playground.
Paste your script line by line into ChatGPT and ask:
“Give me a prompt to generate a visual for this sentence.“
Then paste the prompt into Leonardo.ai.
- Image Dimensions: 16:9
- Style Preset: Life-Like Vision
Generate images for each scene. If tokens run out, create a new account.
Step 7: Edit the Video
Use any free or paid editor:
- Import the voiceover
- Trim silence but keep natural pauses
- Add visuals in sync with the voice
- Use slow zooms for motion
- Add overlays like “Fire Ember”
- Apply transitions (like fade to black)
Add background music from YouTube Audio Library
- Genre: Cinematic / Ambient
- Mood: Inspirational
Track suggestions:
- “Slowly Until We Get There”
Step 8: Add Captions
Use free tool Clipchamp for generating captions (1080p export, no watermark).
Step 9: Thumbnail Creation
Use the same AI image from the story + title text overlay. Keep it simple and aligned with your niche.
