- choose a profitable niche and format
pick a topic that aligns with your expertise or passion (for example personal finance, tech reviews, or wellness tips) and decide on a consistent faceless format - such as screen recordings, animations, stock footage with voiceover, or text‑based slides - meet YouTube Partner Program requirements
grow to at least 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 public watch hours (or 10 million Shorts views) in the last 12 months; use Capsai’s analytics dashboard to track progress toward these milestones - set up Adsense and enable monetization
once you qualify, link your channel to a Google AdSense account in YouTube Studio → Monetization → Follow the prompts to enable ad formats (display, overlay, skippable video ads) - incorporate affiliate marketing
join relevant affiliate programs (for example Amazon Associates or niche‑specific platforms), include tracked product links in your video descriptions and use timed on‑screen text (generated via Capsai subtitles) to highlight “Buy now” or “Learn more” prompts - secure brand sponsorships
use your analytics to demonstrate reach and engagement, craft a media kit, and pitch brands in your niche for sponsored segments or product placements; maintain transparency with clear disclosure in captions - offer channel memberships and Patreon tiers
create exclusive, faceless bonus content - such as deep‑dive tutorials or behind‑the‑scenes scripts - unlockable via YouTube Memberships or Patreon; promote these perks in your regular videos - sell digital products or courses
leverage your expertise by developing downloadable guides, templates or online courses; mention these offerings in your videos and use Capsai’s CTA subtitles to direct viewers to your landing page - enable merchandise shelf
once you have 10,000 subscribers, link a merch provider (such as Teespring or Shopify) to display branded products beneath your videos; use eye‑catching on‑screen graphics and caption prompts to drive sales - repurpose content for additional revenue streams
convert top‑performing videos into blog posts, ebooks or podcasts; syndicate on platforms like Medium (with affiliate links) or a personal website to capture ad and subscription revenue beyond YouTube
