Why Start a USA-Based YouTube Channel?
Before jumping into the how-to, hereโs why you should consider building a YouTube channel for a U.S. audience:
- Higher Ad Revenue (RPM): U.S. RPM is almost 10 times more than Indiaโs, meaning you earn more for every 1,000 views.
- Lower Competition in Certain Niches: Many high-potential niches are still underserved.
- Real Success Stories: Channels with just 25 videos are earning over $1,000/month through AdSense alone.
Now letโs explore the step-by-step method to replicate this success.
Step 1: Channel Creation and Optimization
1.1 Create a Branded YouTube Channel
Start by heading over to ChatGPT and use a prompt to generate 10 unique brandable channel names tailored for a U.S. audience. Choose the one that resonates most with your niche.
1.2 Craft an SEO-Friendly Channel Description
Once youโve selected your channel name, use another ChatGPT prompt to generate a compelling, keyword-rich channel description. This description plays a critical role in YouTube SEO and helps viewers understand your content focus.
1.3 Design a Professional Logo
Use AI to generate a sleek logo. You can ask ChatGPT to create a logo description prompt and then paste it into an AI image generation site like PicLumen or Canva AI.
1.4 Generate Target Keywords
With your channel identity taking shape, generate a list of relevant keywords using ChatGPT. These keywords will help optimize your channel for search discovery.
1.5 Set Up in YouTube Studio
In your YouTube Studio:
- Upload your custom logo
- Use the chosen name for both the channel title and handle (e.g., @YourChannelNameOfficial)
- Paste your AI-generated description
- Under โCountry,โ select United States
- Add your keyword list in the appropriate field
In Advanced Settings:
- Set “Not Made for Kids”
- Verify features under Feature Eligibility
- Choose “Education” as the category
- Set the default language to English (United States)
Step 2: Creating Viral YouTube Videos
2.1 Generate Viral Video Ideas
Use a specially designed ChatGPT prompt to generate 10 viral video ideas in your niche. This step ensures you’re always working with topics that have strong engagement potential.
2.2 Generate the Video Script
With a viral topic selected, ask ChatGPT to generate a full-length, engaging YouTube video script. This saves hours of manual effort while ensuring the script is optimized for viewer retention.
Step 3: Voiceover with 11Labs
3.1 Convert Text to Speech
Paste portions of your script into the 11Labs AI voice generator:
- Use โCameronโ or similar realistic voices
- Choose โEleven Flash V2.5โ for best results
- Set stability to 70% for natural-sounding audio
- Convert your script in small segments to maintain voice quality
Step 4: Creating Visuals for the Video
4.1 Generate Image Prompts with ChatGPT
Use another ChatGPT prompt to break your script into visual storyboards. Ask the AI to create at least 40 imaginative and story-matching image prompts.
4.2 Use PicLumen or AI Image Tools
Go to PicLumen AI or any free AI image generator:
- Paste your prompt
- Select image style (PicLumen Art V1 works well)
- Set resolution to 16:9 for long-format YouTube content
- Batch generate visuals
Repeat this process to complete your visual library.
Step 5: Video Editing and Upload
Once you have your voiceover and images:
- Combine them in free video editing software like CapCut or DaVinci Resolve
- Add subtitles, animations, and transitions for engagement
- Export and upload to YouTube
Donโt forget to:
