Full Tutorial for Creating a Storytelling Channel that Earns $230,870

Being strong became your default. You’re the one others lean on—steady, capable, always showing up. But over time, that strength started to shift. It became a mask, a habit, a survival strategy.

To keep that image of strength, you set parts of yourself aside. Your needs, frustrations, even your sensitivity. Not because you didn’t feel them, but because somewhere along the way, you learned it wasn’t safe—or acceptable—to show them.

So you adapted. You minimized discomfort. You avoided conflict. And it worked, at least on the outside. But inside, something began to feel off. Unseen. Disconnected.

The truth is, the strongest parts of you aren’t gone. They’re hidden. And hiding them carries a cost.

This is the starting point for transformational storytelling—the kind of content that doesn’t just entertain but resonates deeply. In this post, I’ll show you how to take those hidden stories and, with the help of AI automation, turn them into high-quality faceless YouTube videos. Not for performance, but for wholeness—and yes, for growth.

Why Storytelling Works (Case Study: Hochelaga)

Let’s start with proof. There’s a channel you may never have heard of: Hochelaga.

With just 66 uploads, it has reached nearly 918,000 subscribers and over 79 million views. At a conservative RPM of $3 per 1,000 views, that’s around $230,000 in revenue.

What’s the secret? Storytelling. The channel uses emotionally resonant, psychologically rich narratives that speak to universal human struggles. That’s the power of this niche. It’s high-impact, high-retention, and highly profitable.

And here’s the good news: thanks to AI, anyone can build a channel like this—quickly, efficiently, and at scale.

Step 1: Writing the Script With ChatGPT

Every great video starts with a script. To create emotionally rich, introspective topics, I use this type of prompt:

Generate transformational storytelling topics that explore inner conflict, emotional healing, and spiritual growth. Blend psychology and philosophy, and make them universal yet deeply personal.

From this, ChatGPT generates a list of ideas. For example: “Becoming the answer to your own prayer.”

Once you’ve chosen a topic, the next step is generating a full script. I use a refined prompt that blends poetic tone with grounded storytelling. Within minutes, ChatGPT produces a long-form narrative that’s ready for voiceover.

Step 2: Generating Voiceover With ElevenLabs

With the script in hand, it’s time to bring it to life. I paste the introduction into ElevenLabs and select the Callum voice. I increase the speed slightly (1.04) and adjust style exaggeration to 5% for more emotional depth.

The result? A professional voiceover that feels human, authentic, and engaging.

To polish it, I use Audacity to trim silences and export the audio in seconds.

Step 3: Creating AI Images With Prompts

Next, I need visuals. Here’s where automation shines.

I create template prompts in ChatGPT—for example: “A lone figure standing at dawn, symbolic of inner rebirth, soft pastel tones, cinematic photography.”

Instead of generating images one by one, I built a Make.com workflow that creates images in bulk and stores them in Google Drive. This automation saves hours and ensures I always have a library of cinematic visuals ready.

Step 4: Building the Video With Cling AI

With images ready, I upload them into Cling AI 2.1. The platform automatically turns still images into dynamic, engaging video sequences.

Most of the time, I don’t even need custom prompts—the AI intuitively aligns visuals with the story’s mood. The results are polished and ready for editing.

Step 5: Editing & Enhancing in CapCut

Finally, I pull everything together in CapCut.

Timeline setup: I use three layers—voiceover, visuals, and captions.
Captions: Autogenerated, styled with clean fade-in animation.
Image adjustments: Since AI images often come in 3:2, I zoom to 119% for a perfect 16:9 fit.
Dynamic effects: I add subtle zoom-in keyframes (+5% scale) or sliding transitions for movement.
Global transitions: I use a 0.7-second mix transition across scenes for smooth flow.

This combination gives the video a professional, cinematic feel without requiring weeks of editing.

Why This Matters

Think back to where we started: strength as a mask. The hidden parts of yourself. The cost of silence.

When you build storytelling content like this, you’re not just creating videos—you’re creating mirrors. You’re giving voice to the parts most people keep buried. And that’s why audiences connect so deeply.

Pair that with AI automation, and you get the best of both worlds: emotional resonance + efficient production.

Final Thoughts

Being strong doesn’t mean hiding yourself. Being a creator doesn’t mean burning out. With the right system, you can produce meaningful, high-quality videos consistently—without sacrificing your energy or your authenticity.

The process is clear:
