YouTube automation and Cash Cow Channels are a type of channel that has been used on YouTube for years, but in recent times they are becoming popular as they allow people to make money online relatively easily and cheaply.
This can become an additional source of income that can be used to supplement existing earnings or become even allow us to live off of it.
In this article we will explore what Cash Cow Channels are and how they can help you generate additional income in order to improve your financial security through YouTube Automations
We will also look at some examples of successful applications and discuss ways in which you too can use this innovative approach.
How to open a cash cow channel
The steps to open a cash cow channel on YouTube are:
- Choose niche
- Open the cash cow channel
- Understand how to create interesting videos economically
- Publish as many videos as possible
- Start Monetizing
- Check progress and manage problems
- Integrating artificial intelligence
- How to earn €1,000 per month
Choosing the niche
A niche is a certain group of people who have certain passions or interests.
This point must be addressed immediately as it is crucial and will decide from the outset the success or failure of our project.
It is right to remember that we are talking about business and not pleasure. So we need to do all the necessary calculations and research before opening a YouTube channel.
What we are going to do will not necessarily be pleasant, but it will bring us, if done correctly, a high and steady revenue flow.
There are three basic factors to keep in mind when choosing a cash cow channel niche:
- earnings
- type of users
- competition
Earnings
You can already get an idea of how much you can earn by going discovering the CPM, which YouTube defines as:
“Amount advertisers pay for every 1000 ad views on your videos”.
Usually you can expect CPMs ranging from 5€ to 20€, mine is 9€ to give you an idea. If you do better, congratulations! It means you have opened a really well done cash cow channel.
By entering a market that has a high parameter you will be able to earn a lot even though the views will not be high.
And going back to talking about profitability, we see that it has a CPM of 15.89€, which means having a really profitable channel.
I don’t know if you’ll be able to create a channel that will make you that much money, but even if it made €1000 per month it would be a great way to round out your finances, don’t you think?
The problem, as usual, is figuring out where to start and what sources to rely on. If you want to explore this further, you can watch a webinar (for free) that will better explain the whole process.
Type of users
When we reason about the type of content, we also need to take into consideration what the type of audience that will watch it will be like.
We will need to target people with a lot of time on their hands or great curiosity, and we will need to structure the video so that it has very few dead spots and is always interesting.
Competition
If there are already many channels similar to ours in the industry where we want to fit in, it will be much more difficult to grow in the beginning.
In addition, users will already be prepared for the kind of content they will find and may be very diffident.
Whereas if we approach it with a different and innovative angle, it is likely that the flow of video views will be high.
Best Cash Cow Channel niches
By doing Google searches you can find data on various earnings. So below are the ones that I think are the most interesting.
The 5 best niches in which to open a cash cow channel on YouTube are:
- Affiliations
- Investment and trading
- Health
- SEO
- Content creation and video marketing
In the course I mentioned earlier, you will find an updated list of the best 25 niches currently available for making money on YouTube.
Open the cash cow channel
The procedure for opening a cash cow channel on YouTube is quick and can be found anywhere on the Internet.
Remembering the topics we would like to go into, we set a name that is catchy and easily memorized, so that we stand out from others.
Even various graphics should be done with these needs in mind, and for this you can use Canva (free service).
Yes, it’s always the one that tells you the 25 niches etc etc!
Understand how to create interesting videos in an economical way
At this point we have to pull out all our ingenuity to figure out how to produce content that has maximum output for minimum effort.
The prime example is the meditation videos, which are several hours long and repeat the same images and sounds in sequence.
The time and cost of production are minimal and the results in the long run can consist of a steady return over time.
Another type of video are rankings, such as “the 5 most dangerous abandoned structures,” where with a short Internet search and a series of scary images we can create a respectable video.
In this case it is essential to have a narrative voice that accompanies the user and is fit for purpose.In questo caso è fondamentale avere una voce narrante che accompagni l’utente e che sia adatta allo scopo.
Even more important is to find a repeatable and successful method of generating video cover images that are well done and prompt the user to click.
In particular, the coupled thumbnail and title are our business card. If we get them wrong, no one will click on the video and we will lose money.
Every niche has its own type, and fortunately, there is no need to invent the wheel again. Take a cue from what works and copy it by modifying something.
Post as many videos as possible
When the structure is clear, we need to send to production (or delegate) as many videos as possible.
And every time we release one we try to optimize the steps to save time and money.
Quantity at this time is everything, even at the expense of quality. In fact, we need to understand whether the type of video works or whether people do not appreciate it.
You will be pleased to know that within the cash cow channel is very widely used repetition.
To give you an idea of what we are talking about, if we have a list of “10 absurd deaths,” we can make many videos about them, selecting a title and editing them slightly differently:
- the 10 most absurd deaths
- the 5 most absurd deaths part 1
- the 5 most absurd deaths part 2
- Top 3 incredible deaths
- You won’t believe these 7 deaths
Still the same content we are talking about, but we will rank for many more keywords and increase earnings.
As mentioned above, we need to be smart and understand that we want to use as little time and resources as possible to maximize revenue.
Start monetizing
When we have started the business and get the first visitors and subscribers, we need to get to monetization as soon as possible.
To do so, we must meet two criteria:
- 1000 subscribers to the youtube channel
- 4000 hours of viewing in the previous 365 days
Once we reach this milestone, all we need to do is enable monetization and we will start earning immediately.
YouTube provides us with a well-made platform and payment is made to the bank account once the minimum threshold of €75 is reached.
Monitor progress and manage problems
Once the machine has started producing money, we will have to control it and be careful that it does not jam.
So we will need to continue to produce content and protect from spam fraudulent activities and abuse the channel.
All this in fact could shut him down by abruptly cutting off our income.
In addition, the algorithm may change, and it will be fundamental to stay updated so as not to lose subscribers or views.
Integrating artificial intelligence into cash cow channels
In an industry that is so dynamic but also so predictable, the integration of artificial intelligence was the natural evolution of the Cash Cow Channel to create a real passive income through YouTube Automation.
In fact, when we learn the best practices for creating a video (taking cues from other successful ones) and know what the outcome we want is, applying artificial intelligence allows us to scale to incredible heights.
To clarify the concept, artificial intelligence will do:
- Video script
- Video editing
- Voice over
- Thumbnail
- Title creation
- Description creation
It may seem impossible, but these are ready-made technologies that will allow you to create ready-to-publish content in just a few clicks and minutes.
And you won’t even have to look around, since a course has just been released that focuses 100 percent on this aspect and allows you to practice what you learn right away.
And they will provide you with a channel ready to be monetized, so you only have to post videos and you will start earning from day one.
How to earn €1,000 per month with YouTube automation
Once you have done all the steps that you find in this guide, you will have a complete ladder to be able to go from 0 to earning with YouTube.
Of course, as with anything, it takes time to gain experience and to understand how this platform works (if you use artificial intelligence this will be accelerated considerably).
Clearly, to best learn everything without wasting time, you can take advantage of the knowledge of other people who have decided to organize and share it with you in a detailed course.
This way you can learn from their mistakes, get suggestions, and start monetizing much more quickly.
Or you can try to do everything yourself, at the risk of getting tired sooner and never getting to the result.
What are cash cow channels
Cash Cow Channels are YouTube channels that generate a substantial amount of revenue through advertising. All of this is done using content with a low cost of production and without the need to put your face on the screen or spend too much time editing.
Nonetheless, these channels can cover such interesting or controversial topics that they often reach a wide and diverse audience, something that insertionists may especially appreciate.
When it comes to earning money online, this method represents a great opportunity that if exploited properly can give great satisfaction.
Certainly we will have to work hard at the beginning, to understand what to cover and how to act for the research of themes and the production phase of the video.
How YouTube and monetization works
One of the key concepts to understand how our videos are monetized and how the YouTube home page works.
When we are clear about these two concepts, we can make thoughts about how to structure videos and titles with descriptions.
The better the work done, the more they will position themselves and be proposed to other users who may not know us.
How videos are monetized
First, we will have to reach 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of views in the previous 365 days (but these numbers can be bought on Upwork for about $200 in all).
At this point we activate all possible and imaginable types of advertising so as to maximize revenue per visit.
Based on the user’s interests, personalized advertising and targeted ads based on past activity will be proposed.
How the home page and suggested videos work
The personalized YouTube home page consists of content you are watching and very similar suggestions that you might be interested in.
This is precisely why you should think about titles and descriptions that the algorithm might associate with your ideal user.
You should therefore choose themes and words that are as general as possible so as to fit on as many home pages as possible.
Focusing doesn’t make sense, as you have to focus everything on the number of views you’re going to get.
Examples of cash cow channels and YouTube automation
Any kind of channel that has content for meditation or relaxation (sounds of rain, music for sleeping, etc.) or that produces rankings (the 5 best vacation destinations, the 5 most expensive restaurants in the world, etc.) is certainly a cash cow channel.
They can be recognized by the fact that you do not see a person on video but only hear a narrator’s voice (or sounds) and stock images or videos in the background.
Mirko Delfino, who has been working in this field for several years (and whom I interviewed in the video in the middle of the article) kindly shared with us his own cash cow channel.
And trust me that this is a very rare occurrence since no one does it, otherwise they would risk having their market stolen and their earnings reduced.
His cash cow channel is CRIPTOVALUTEITALIANO and it deals, clearly, with cryptocurrencies and their surroundings. It earns money from advertisements and affiliations and currently earns him about €2000 per month.
Earnings with YouTube Automation
Cash cow channel earnings start from a few hundred a month to over 50,000 a month.
It all depends on the time we take to research the right niche and create the right content.
Because of the ease of content creation (with artificial intelligence) and the ability to have infinite channels at once, we can scale quickly the earnings can reach stellar figures in a relatively short time.
This is one of the biggest rewards of YouTube Automation, which is difficult to repeat in other business or revenue methods.
Concluding
By now, you should have a better understanding of how to monetize your YouTube channel without having to create supreme quality videos.
The Cash Cow Channel method is applied by making many low-cost content that can be chosen by the algorithm to appear in front of as many people as possible.
Be sure to test different thumbnails and titles to see which one gets the most attention from viewers, and remember that inventiveness in this field can earn you huge sums of money without special effort.
Obviously it must be treated as a business and therefore all choices must be made intelligently and by reasoning about the numbers.
