This success signals a high-earning, high-demand niche. Inspired by them, I decided to create a similar channel with unique content ideas.

Write a keyword-packed description so YouTube knows your target audience.
Add a simple logo and banner — use Leonardo AI to generate these without hiring a designer.
Add channel tags/keywords (e.g., prehistoric animals, extinct species, Megalodon, dinosaurs).
Let the channel “warm up” for a week: watch, like, and comment on other videos before uploading.
Use Tube Magic (AI tool) to find video ideas, write scripts, and optimize SEO.
Generate voiceovers with tools like 11Labs.
Mix stock videos (from Pexels) with AI-generated visuals (Leonardo AI) to create dynamic content.
Edit everything in CapCut — add smooth transitions, captions, and animations.
Create eye-catching thumbnails with AI tools.
Use Warp Upload to generate optimized titles, descriptions, and tags.
