3 Creation Process Step-by-Step

📋 Phase 1: Script Writing (30 Minutes)

Practical Example for ChatGPT: "Write me a YouTube video script 8 minutes long about '10 Free AI Tools in 2026' in an engaging style suitable for beginners, with: - A strong intro that grabs attention in the first 15 seconds - Content divided into clear points with examples - A Call to Action (CTA) at the end to increase engagement"
💡 Tips for a Successful Script:
  • Make the intro strong and pose a question or problem
  • Use simple language suitable for your audience
  • Divide content into short paragraphs (2-3 minutes per section)
  • Add verbal transitions between sections ("Now let's move to...")
  • End with a clear call: "Subscribe", "Comment your opinion", "Share the video"

🎙️ Phase 2: Voice Generation (15 Minutes)

Using ElevenLabs:

  1. Copy the script entirely
  2. Choose a suitable voice (Standard Arabic or local dialect)
  3. Adjust speed (1.0x - 1.2x is ideal for explanations)
  4. Enable "Stability" and "Similarity" options for a natural voice
  5. Listen to the preview, then download the file as MP3
Tip: Use voices that express emotions to increase engagement by 40% [ElevenLabs]

  5. Export video in 1080p or 4K resolution

📦 Digital Products Sell courses, templates, or eBooks related to your channel niche

Good News: YouTube channels working with AI are monetizable exactly like traditional channels, provided content quality and YouTube policies are followed [YouTube Partner Program Guidelines]

📊 Best Practices for 2026

✅ Do:
  • Focus on quality not quantity (1 excellent video is better than 3 average ones)
  • Use 4K resolution when possible (most tools support it now)
  • Add Subtitles to increase global reach
  • Interact with comments in the first 24 hours after publishing
  • Publish regularly: 2-3 videos weekly to start
❌ Don't:
  • Don't copy others' content (YouTube detects this and reduces reach)
  • Don't overuse visual effects at the expense of clarity
  • Don't neglect audio quality (viewers tolerate average video, but not bad audio)
  • Don't forget SEO optimization: Title, Description, and Tags
