:rocket: 1 Β· Your first 7 days β€” do this, in this order

Night 1 (1 hour). Pick the lane that matches your machine (main post) β†’ install the factory β†’ type your first line β†’ watch the video come out. One video now exists.
Day 2–3. Choose one topic you can repeat 100 times β€” facts, gadgets, home tips, gaming, product demos. Make 2 videos a day, same voice, same subtitles, same length.
Day 4–5. Connect the door (reply 4) and queue a week of posts. From here the channel publishes while you sleep.
Day 6–7. Find the video that did best, copy its shape ten times, then add a second language β€” one clip reaches eleven.

What each lane asks for:

your lane what you need cost
:backpack: any laptop, no GPU laptop + internet $0
:desktop_computer: 8 GB GPU + LTX-Video $0
:cloud: rented GPU + about $1.50/hr, only on render days optional
:mobile_phone: phone only 1 hour + one topic line $0

How the money arrives β€” pick one, add more later: :television: ad money once the channel passes the platform’s own gate (YouTube: 500 subscribers + 3,000 watch-hours or 3M Shorts views) Β· :link: affiliate links on the tools you use Β· :shopping_bags: one video per product for your shop or a partner shop Β· :handshake: paid clients β€” local shops need exactly this service Β· :wrapped_gift: selling the videos, packs, or the finished channel.

The pace that works: 1–3 videos a day Β· one niche Β· one style Β· 30–60 seconds each. YouTube’s own allowance is about 6 uploads a day per project, so you stay comfortably inside it.

Money you keep: the tools are free, the voice is free, the clips are free. Your only optional spend is a rented GPU on the days you want generated scenes.

If life interrupts: the queue keeps posting and the factory picks up again with one command.

One line in, a posted video out β€” every day. :seedling:

The rhythm that works (when to do what):

  • Tonight β€” install one factory, make your first video, watch it once.
  • Days 2–7 β€” one niche, 2 videos a day, same style and voice.
  • Week 2 β€” turn on the scheduler: the queue posts while you sleep.
  • Week 3 β€” add affiliate links and translations (Γ—11 languages from one clip).
  • Week 4 β€” offer a demo video to one local shop; show your own channel as the proof.
  • Pacing built into the platforms: YouTube allows about 6 uploads a day per project; TikTok’s official API post directly once approved β€” until then the CLI uploaders handle it, so your daily 2–3 go out either way.

Cost of the whole loop: $0 software. The only optional spend is a rented GPU (~$1.50/hr) on the days you want generated scenes.
