Intro
This guide walks you through how to build a YouTube Shorts channel that grows fast and earns consistent revenue. You’ll learn how to use AI to shorten the learning curve, build momentum fast, and publish content that performs from day one.
What You’ll Learn
➟ How to pick high-performing niches for Shorts
➟ How to warm up and brand your channel
➟ How to script, voice, and edit viral videos using AI tools
➟ How to automate ranking-style videos
➟ How to track analytics that push videos to millions of views
Step 1: Choose a High-Performing Niche
Select a niche with strong viral potential. Two reliable options include:
➟ Story-based gameplay videos using simple visuals and meme overlays
➟ Ranking videos that showcase curated viral clips from platforms like TikTok
Choose a niche with predictable reach and clear evidence of success channels getting millions of views with consistent uploads.
Step 2: Set Up and Warm Up Your Channel
If you already have an older YouTube account, use it; aged channels perform better and often require no warm-up.
If starting fresh:
➟ Scroll YouTube normally for 30–60 minutes
➟ Like, comment, and subscribe to a few channels
➟ Repeat the next day again
This signals to YouTube that the account is run by a real person.
Then check:
➟ Standard Features: ensure there are no violations
➟ Intermediate Features: verify with a phone number when ready for monetization
Step 3: Brand Your Channel Quickly
Keep branding simple so you can start posting fast.
Name:
➟ Choose a niche-specific name
➟ Use ChatGPT to generate options
Profile picture:
➟ Ask ChatGPT to generate one based on your channel name
Banner:
➟ Optional: create a simple design using Canva
➟ Add minimal text relevant to your niche
Description:
➟ Write one opening line about your content
➟ Add a contact email if desired
➟ Include a simple disclaimer
Step 4: Create Story-Style Shorts Using AI
Start by finding a successful channel in your niche. Analyze their best-performing videos and select one as inspiration.
Then:
➟ Copy the link of a high-performing short
➟ Paste it into YouTubeTranscript to extract the transcript
➟ Open ChatGPT and rewrite the script using this prompt:
“Write a similar script in the same style, length, and tone, but on the topic: [insert topic]. Make it fast-paced for a YouTube Short.”
Generate a voiceover using 11Labs:
➟ Paste in the script
➟ Choose a voice
➟ Adjust speed and tone
Edit in CapCut:
➟ Add gameplay visuals
➟ Add captions
➟ Add simple images or memes
This method allows you to recreate viral formats in minutes.
Step 5: Automate Viral Ranking Videos
Ranking-style videos are the fastest way to produce Shorts with high reach.
Start by generating topics inside ChatGPT using prompts such as:
“Give me 20 viral ranking topics for YouTube Shorts.”
Create videos using Viblo:
➟ Select the “Video Ranking” feature
➟ Add your title (break it into two lines and highlight key words with color)
➟ Find 4–6 high-performing TikTok clips
➟ Paste each TikTok link into Viblo to auto-import
➟ Adjust clip height, spacing, and text styling
➟ Add rankings, labels, or animations
➟ Generate the final video
This method produces ready-to-upload Shorts in less than 10 minutes.
Step 6: Improve Your Videos Using Analytics
Two metrics determine whether you go viral:
1. Average View Duration (AVD)
Aim for 100% or higher AVD.
If viewers leave early, improve:
➟ Clip selection
➟ Topic choice
➟ Opening visuals
2. Swipe Rate (First 4 Seconds)
Aim for a swipe-away rate of 20% or lower.
If it’s high:
➟ Strengthen your opening clip
➟ Use more viral topics
➟ Improve the title formatting
Your goal is to ensure viewers stay from the first second and rewatch the video.
