A YouTube channel is generating $20-30k monthly with minimal competition and basic upkeep, boasting over 90% profit margins. The channel's RPM averages $4-5, increasing to $6-7 in Q4, with expected monthly revenue of $30-40k during that period. The process involves using a custom-coded system via Discord to create videos, eliminating the need for editors. Even though coding knowledge is not required upfront, support is available for setup and understanding the system.
The video production process, from scripting to the final video, takes less than an hour. Scriptwriting relies 70% on AI, but requires human oversight to refine AI-generated content into coherent narratives. Current script prompts are basic, prioritizing daily postings over detailed storytelling. Two writers are engaged, costing $45 per script, though cheaper options may be considered. Prompts and guidance on the scripting process will be provided.
Thumbnail creation costs around $5 per project when outsourced, and voiceover costs $5 per video. Monthly operational costs amount to approximately $2000. The channel uses the free version of Elevenlabs, while Claude API costs $200 per month. It has no strikes, copyright issues, or competition due to the complex and exclusive code supporting its operations. This code, valued at $50k, is included in the channel purchase.
The channel partners with an ad network that takes a 2% cut. There is potential to expand into multiple languages and niches beyond horror. Buyers need a Google AdSense account to monetize the channel.
