How I Create a YouTube Video Every Day in 30 Minutes With Automation 🚀

Creating daily YouTube content sounds impossible — but I’ve built a system that makes it manageable. The secret? Automation + AI.

Content creation has 3 parts:

Generating ideas

Filming

Editing & copywriting

Filming still needs me on camera. But idea generation and scripting? That’s where automation comes in.

Using n8n as the automation hub, here’s what happens:

Webhook Trigger → Start the flow

YouTube Scraper → Pull trending videos in my niche

OpenAI API → Turn raw data into 50+ content ideas + ready-made scripts

Data Formatter → Clean the output

Google Sheets + Mailgun → Store and email the ideas to my team instantly

Result: every morning I get a fresh list of YouTube ideas + scripts, ready to film.

No more wasting time brainstorming

I focus only on the part AI can’t replace: being on camera

With this setup, I create one high-quality video every day in just 30 minutes.

Automation doesn’t just save time — it makes consistency possible.
