Are you looking for an easy side hustle?

Well, I got just the thing for you.

Let’s get right into it and learn how to create 300 YouTube Shorts with ChatGPT in 30 minutes. (it may even take 31 minutes but don’t hold it against me)

What Type of Shorts Will We Create

What you’ll learn in this guide is how to create a channel that creates videos with text popping up. (here’s an example)

Do these types of YT Shorts work?

They sure do, this channel has a whopping 149,556,645 views.

How to Create 300 YouTube Shorts Ideas in 3 Minutes Using ChatGPT

For our example, we’ll be creating motivational quotes.

Let’s open ChatGPT and get to it.

Note: Modify the prompt based on what type of YouTube Shorts you want to create.

Prompt: Provide me with 30 motivational quotes. Split each quote into 2 parts (example: Success is not final failure is not fatal. First part here is success is not final, and the second is failure is not fatal). The first part of the quotes should build up suspense and the second part should be the big reveal.

Now let’s put it in a more useful form.

Prompt:
Put all quotes in a sheet with 2 columns, in 1st column will be the 1st part of quotes and in the second column will be the 2nd part of quotes.

And keep asking for more until it starts repeating itself.

Open up your Google Sheets and input all the results.

Tip: Use Google Sheets’ remove duplicates option because ChatGPT can sometimes repeat the quotes.

Vuoala! As you can see, I got 278 quotes, that’s 278 YouTube Shorts waiting to be created!

How to Bulk Create Videos in Canva

Let’s start creating videos out of these ideas.

Note: You’ll need Canva Pro for the Bulk Create feature.

  1. Start by opening your Canva profile.
  2. Create a new design and select YouTube Shorts size (1080x1920).
  3. Select a video background
  4. Create part 1 of your quote and part 2
  5. Input copyright-free music

You should end up with something like this.

Now it’s time for mass production.

Go to Apps > Bulk Create > Enter data manually

Now copy and paste the first 30 quotes from your sheet.

Next, select, right-click the 1st part of the quote and select Connect data > Part 1.

Do the same for the 2nd part and they’ll get labeled for bulk creation.

Move them where you want them to show on the screen.

Now, right-click text and select Show timing. This will allow you to edit how long will each part be on the screen and you should also adjust the music you input.

Tip: Have the drop at the reveal of the main part of your video and keep the last part of the quote or whatever you choose to create short, just enough for people to know what it says, you don’t want to have a long finish because it will lead to retention drops.

Once you’re all set with your template, let’s generate 30 videos.

Vuoala! You have 30 YouTube Shorts ready to be uploaded!

My suggestion would be to create a few of these bulk templates, so you have a few backgrounds to rotate different backgrounds.

It might be more difficult as you’d need to do everything right from the beginning, but in the end, you’ll have around 300 videos ready, which means you won’t need to do anything but schedule videos to your channel for quite some time.

Once you run out of content, just revisit ChatGPT and change the prompt around to get different results.

How to Improve Your Channel

If you’re willing to go the extra mile and improve your chances of success, here’s an example of a channel with 410,197,778 views:

This channel also includes cool videos which improve the user experience. People are definitely into this, otherwise, these types of channels wouldn’t be doing so well.

Note: Verify your YouTube account so you can schedule more than 10 videos at a time and also be more likely for YouTube’s algorithm to push your channel.

ChatGPT takes all the guesswork out of it, it’s a great source of ideas for new content.

If you want to step up your game and do more work, it will probably take you longer, but it will also bring better results.
