What this walkthrough gets you
You will run a YouTube channel like a studio on your own, with six AI specialists doing the labor while you direct. Every prompt, template and checklist is handed to you, and you can start at zero on free tiers. The walkthrough has your first finished original video done in your first week and three launch videos with a live channel inside two to three weeks, on about 10 to 20 hours a week.
