If you’re a content creator looking to generate income from AI music, this playbook offers a detailed, step-by-step process to create, brand, and upload AI-generated songs without encountering common pitfalls like copyright issues or demonetisation.
Following these steps can help you build an AI music channel that’s monetisable and free from copyright claims, potentially making over $5,000 from AdSense alone, as demonstrated by one channel.
Here’s the step-by-step process:
- Write AI Song Lyrics
- Start by generating lyrics using ChatGPT. You can use a prompt like “write a song about heartbreak and healing from fake love in the style of Tatiana Mana ways” to get emotionally resonant lyrics.
- Once generated, copy the lyrics into a document, such as Google Docs.
- Refine the lyrics by removing unnecessary labels like “PR,” “chorus,” or “chv” to keep the lyrics clean.
- Turn Lyrics into AI Generated Music
- Utilise an AI music generator that allows you to own your generated music 100% free from copyright issues. The tool used in the video for this process is called Jukebox.
- When creating a song, opt for the “Own lyrics mode”. This gives you full control over the song and helps to avoid copyright problems.
- Paste your refined lyrics into the tool.
- Select a genre for your song.
- Hit “generate,” and the AI will process your song within a minute.
- Brand Your AI Music Channel
- Choose an artist name; if you don’t have one, ask ChatGPT for 10 unique ideas for an AI Music Channel.
- Create a new YouTube channel, making sure your YouTube username matches your chosen artist name for consistency.
- Generate a logo for your channel using an AI image generator like Leonardo AI.
- Design a channel banner that fits your brand. Use high-quality, AI-generated images that align with your channel’s style.
- Upload Your AI Music Video
- Craft an SEO-optimised title for your video. You can use ChatGPT with a special SEO prompt for this.
- Write a description that includes relevant keywords to help your video rank in YouTube search results.
- Create and upload an eye-catching and emotional thumbnail to encourage clicks.
- For peak engagement, the best times to post are Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays.
- Schedule your video for publication instead of uploading it immediately.
By consistently optimising your videos and following this strategy, your AI music channel can start growing rapidly. This method has been tested, resulting in AI songs uploaded to YouTube and Spotify with zero copyright issues.
