The Beginning

When I started my channel in 2023, I was making one video per week. With AI tools, I now publish daily without burning out.

My AI Stack

  • **ChatGPT/Claude**: Script outlines and research
  • **Midjourney**: Thumbnail concepts
  • **ElevenLabs**: Voiceovers for short-form content
  • **Runway**: B-roll generation
  • **Descript**: Editing and transcription
  • The Results

    | Metric | Before AI | After AI |

    |--------|-----------|----------|

    | Videos/week | 1 | 7 |

    | Time per video | 8 hours | 2 hours |

    | Monthly views | 10K | 500K |

    Key Learnings

    1. AI amplifies your voice - it doesnt replace it

    2. Quality over quantity still matters

    3. Human touch in editing makes the difference
