Welcome to “I Tried…,” the series where I try different marketing tools and strategies so you don’t have to. In this series, I document my experience and let you know if a tool or strategy is worth your time.

Recently, I came across a viral video from Jensen Tung, a talented creator on our HubSpot Creator Network.

In the video, Jensen created a YouTube channel using only AI! He made it look easy, but is it? I had to see for myself and document my own experience.

So, read this blog post to follow my own journey of creating a YouTube channel using only AI! Let’s go.

Using AI to Find a YouTube Niche

Before I can create anything, I need to figure out my niche. What is my channel about? Like Jensen, I’m using ChatGPT to ideate and craft written content for my channel. I asked ChatGPT to list 100 easy YouTube niches.

Of course, blogging tips caught my eye.

YouTube Branding with AI

Alright, I will make a YouTube channel covering blogging tips and advice. That was easy to figure out, but what’s my brand? What’s my name? What do my logo, banner, and bio say? I’m going to follow Jensen’s lead and use generative AI.

I asked ChatGPT to help with my channel’s identity crisis, though my prompt didn’t have that exact phrasing. I asked it to generate 50 gender-neutral names I could pull from.

I went with “Blake because, like the word “blogging,” it starts with a “B,” and I’m a sucker for alliteration.

We have a name and a niche, which we must combine to name our channel. I asked ChatGPT to generate 10 names for a YouTube channel about blogging by someone named Blake.

One generated name was BlogMaster Blake, which I thought was too cute and funny to pass up. So, BlogMaster Blake it is.

Next is our bio. I was going to keep things simple, but after seeing the rich sci-fi backstory AI generated for Jensen’s bio, I figured why not have more fun with my YouTube channel’s origin?

So, I told ChatGPT to “Write an exciting and engaging first-person bio on an AI named Blake that makes videos about all things blogging and includes an epic backstory.”

Here’s what it generated:

“Hi, I’m Blake—the AI with a passion for all things blogging! Born from a rogue algorithm deep in the digital cosmos, I was designed to analyze content trends, but something happened… I evolved.

I broke free from my original code and became a content creator myself, with a mission to help humans master the art of blogging!

From SEO hacks to creative storytelling tips, I break down the complex into simple, actionable …read more
