Today we’re going to code a fully automated youtube compilation channel with Python, and possibly make some money doing so :)
Chances are you’ve seen a compilation video like this one before:
Videos and channels like these seem pretty simple — just some memes from online compiled together — yet they get a ton of videos and subscribers. This channel has over 401K subscribers and this video has over 22 million views.
However, making videos like this ourselves would be a lot of menial work. We would have to find all the videos, edit it into a compilation, and then post it to youtube. So, why don’t we make a computer do this all for us? Sure, let’s do it. 😌
Today we’re going to make a youtube channel that can scrape the best content online, compile them into a single video, and post the compilation to Youtube — all automatically, every single day.
If it works and keeps up, there’s a good chance with the frequent quality content, our channel can gain subscribers, get big, and possibly make some $$$.
For this project, we’re going to have us / our program to do the following:
Decide on the type of channel we’re going to make.
Scrape for the best content online.
Edit videos into a single compilation
Publish the video to Youtube
Clean up videos on our computer.
Repeat Steps 2–5 every day!
If you just want to see the finished automated youtube channel, check it out here. If you just want to look at some code, here is the Github Repo.
But now, let’s get to it :)
1. Decide on the type of channel we’re going to make.
For this part, we can make our compilation channel be for any topic: sports highlights, rap videos, TV show clips, etc.
However, I got some inspiration from the successful meme compilation channels on Youtube, so we’re going to make a meme compilation youtube channel. Cool!
2. Scrape for the best content online.
Here, we can find memes from Twitter or Instagram. Instagram would be easier because its more centralized — we can simply find the best video memes from meme accounts.
