I'm Using ChatGPT 01 Pro to Reach 100K YouTube Subs | Medium
Hey Curious Minds, I’ve been growing my AI-focused YouTube channel and analyzing my metrics after every episode to fine-tune my strategy. But now, I’m taking a different approach — I let AI design a growth strategy for me.
I used ChatGPT-4 Turbo (01 Pro) and its Deep Research tool to generate a six-month blueprint to scale my channel from 20K to 100K subscribers. This is a real-time experiment, and I want my audience to be part of it.
AI-Powered Strategy
Over the next six months, I’ll be:
- Following ChatGPT’s AI-powered strategy step by step
- Tracking my results in real-time and adjusting as needed
- Sharing what works and what doesn’t — live on my channel
At the end of each video, I always break down my analytics — so now, we’ll all get to see firsthand whether AI can actually crack the YouTube algorithm.
Content Strategy
ChatGPT helped me categorize my content into five key video types, each with specific optimizations to maximize reach and engagement. One of the biggest takeaways from ChatGPT’s research revealed that to grow faster, I’ll be driving traffic from Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Reddit.
Monetization Approach
Beyond growing my subscriber base, monetization is key to making this sustainable. This includes:
- Raising sponsorship rates as I grow (from $1,000 to $1,500+ per integration)
- Pitching AI & tech brands that align with my content
- Testing Patreon & YouTube Memberships to give my audience more ways to support
- Experimenting with affiliate marketing for AI tools and books
Insights and Sustainability
One unexpected but crucial insight from ChatGPT’s Deep Research was that sustainability matters. Growth isn’t just about hustling harder — it’s about working smarter. I’ve seen plenty of YouTubers burn out by pushing too hard, so I’m taking steps to stay productive without sacrificing my health.
Conclusion
I'll be implementing ChatGPT’s AI-driven strategy over the next six months, tracking my progress, and breaking down the results with my audience in every episode. Will AI crack the YouTube algorithm and get me to 100K subs? Or will I need to tweak the strategy along the way? I have no idea — but I’m excited to find out.
What do you think? Will AI get me to 100K subs? Let’s discuss in the comments!
Warmly, Dylan Curious
