🧘 Start a Meditation YouTube Channel β€” Full AI Toolkit, $0 to Start

:person_in_lotus_position: The $0 Meditation Channel β€” Every Tool, Every Step, Every Shortcut

AI makes the music. AI makes the video. FFmpeg loops it for 10 hours. You hit publish.

No camera. No studio. No music degree. One tool generates 10-hour loop videos in 10 minutes β€” music, ambient sounds, AND visuals. Eight free libraries have 50,000+ nature clips. This is the entire pipeline.

Meditation channels earn money while the creator sleeps. This post is the full blueprint.

πŸ” The FFmpeg Trick β€” 30 Seconds β†’ 10 Hours (Free)

Think of FFmpeg as a photocopier for video. Take one perfect 30-second clip and stamp out hours of seamless loops.

Step 1 β€” Get a 10-30 second nature clip (AI tool or stock library).

Step 2 β€” Create a seamless loop (end dissolves into beginning):

ffmpeg -i clip.mp4 -vf reverse reversed.mp4
ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i list.txt -c copy seamless_loop.mp4

Step 3 β€” Extend to hours:

ffmpeg -stream_loop 100 -i seamless_loop.mp4 -c copy 10hour_video.mp4

One command. Zero cost. Runs on a potato laptop.

⚠️ Monetization β€” Read Before Publishing
Content Type Monetizable?
Static image + AI music :cross_mark: Risky β€” YouTube flags as β€œnon-transformative”
AI visuals + AI music + your editing :warning: Safer with human touch
Stock footage + no commentary :cross_mark: β€œReused content”
AI clips + stock + editing + voiceover intro :white_check_mark: Best odds

The fix: Add 5-10 seconds of voiceover intro on every video β€” β€œWelcome to [channel], tonight’s session is for deep sleep…” That alone pushes content from β€œAI-generated” to β€œtransformative.”

Tool Free = Commercial? Paid = Commercial?

can you provide video tutorial?

$0 to Start - True, but with a catch. You can use Suno’s free tier, but you cannot legally monetize that music; you must upgrade to Pro ($10/mo) for commercial rights once you’re ready to earn.

10-Minute Creation - True. FFmpeg commands (like the ones in your PDF) allow you to loop a 30-second clip into 10 hours almost instantly without traditional rendering.

Earn while you sleep - Difficult. In 2026, β€œStatic image + AI music” or raw β€œStock footage + no commentary” are frequently flagged as Reused Content, which disqualifies them from monetization.

correct me if im wrong. Thanks
