Hey everyone!

I've been researching YouTube automation for a while and I'm finally ready to take the plunge. I'm a complete beginner with zero experience, and I'm planning to start with free tools only before investing any money into it.

I've already done some basic research and I understand the general concept scripted voiceovers, stock footage, faceless channels but I'd love to hear from people who are actually doing this.

A few things I'm curious about:

- What niche would you recommend for a total beginner in 2026?

- What free tools are actually worth using vs. overhyped?

- How long did it realistically take you to hit 1K subs and monetization?

- What's the #1 mistake you made early on that I should avoid?

- Is it still worth starting now or is the space too saturated?

Any advice, brutal honesty, or lessons learned would be hugely appreciated. I'd rather hear the real experience than watch another overly optimistic YouTube tutorial about it.

Thanks in advance! 🙏
