💸 How AI Podcasts Are Quietly Making Creators Over $11,000/Month (And How You Can Start Too)

In the world of AI-powered income, a surprising new side hustle is quietly helping creators earn over $11,000 per month — and most people haven’t even heard of it yet.

We're talking about faceless AI podcast channels on YouTube.

These channels don’t need real hosts, expensive studio setups, or complex video editing. Instead, they use free AI tools to generate podcast scripts, voices, host images, and visuals — all with near-human quality — and then upload them to YouTube to generate millions of views and significant ad revenue.

Let’s break down how it works (and how you can do it yourself).

🚀 What Are AI Podcasts?

AI podcasts are YouTube videos made with:

• AI-generated hosts (avatars or photos)

• AI-generated voices (that talk back and forth like a real podcast)

• AI-written scripts (that feel natural and conversational)

• Simple visuals (created using free tools like Canva and Leonardo)

Thanks to new tools like Wondercraft AI and Combo Mode, these podcasts now sound incredibly real. Hosts interrupt each other, laugh, breathe, and respond like humans.

🧠 Real Example: How One Channel Made Over $11,000/Month

A channel launched just 7 months ago with zero subscribers started posting AI podcast videos. Today:

• 📈 Over 450,000 subscribers

• 🎥 Over 10.9 million views

• 💵 Earning an estimated $4,000–$11,000/month (based on ad revenue analytics)

And it was made entirely with AI tools.

✅ Step-by-Step: How to Start Your Own AI Podcast Channel

Step 1: Create a Chatty Script Using Wondercraft AI

• Go to Wondercraft AI

• Use “Combo Mode” to create a realistic, chat-style conversation

• Input your niche, host names, and let AI do the rest

Step 2: Select AI Voices for Your Hosts

• Choose from dozens of realistic voice profiles

• Set preferences (gender, tone, emotion) for each host

Step 3: Generate Host Images with Leonardo or Canva

• Use Leonardo.ai or Canva’s AI image tools to design your podcast hosts

• Drop them into a Canva layout with your podcast title and subscribe button

Step 4: Combine Everything in Clipchamp (Free Video Editor)

• Add the podcast audio + image in a timeline

• Add waveform animations and export the video in HD (1080p)

Step 5: Upload to YouTube and Monetize

• Use relevant titles and keywords in your video description

• Turn on YouTube monetization when eligible (you need 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours)

🎯 Bonus Tip: Use ChatGPT to Summarize News & Create Podcast Topics

If you want to post regularly, use ChatGPT to:

• Summarize news articles

• Turn summaries into conversation scripts

• Generate niche-focused content (like AI news, finance, health tips)
