Plus, Youtube just killed AI video monetization and how to pivot fast.

Hey Autominters ⚡️
Important news…
Starting July 15th, YouTube will only pay creators who use their real voice and produce original content.
That means these won’t be eligible for monetization:
Reused or repurposed videos
Copied content
Low effort uploads
Fully AI-generated videos
But smart creators aren't panicking…
They're shifting focus:
Product review videos → affiliate commissions
Shorts with product placements → kickback deals
AI influencer content → direct sales funnels
The new formula: AI influencers + AI product videos = profit
Views are dead. Sales are everything.
Expect a tsunami of automations that turn AI avatars into selling machines. The creators who adapt fastest will win big.
This week, we’re starting off with an automation that can be modified to adapt to this trend.
Here are this week’s automations:
Product Videos
Create professional product marketing videos from a photo.
This great automation from Nate Herk transforms basic product photos into professional marketing materials by generating both enhanced product images and 3D rotating videos.
Why I like it
Automation creators will shift to this type of monetization –selling physical products.
Due to the changes on YouTube’s monetization policy, creators will no longer be able to monetize AI videos, but still have a chance at making money if they are able to push good product videos.
Get ready for a slew of these types of automations coming your way.
Users submit a photo, product name, description, and email through a form trigger. The workflow uses AI to create optimized image prompts, generates professional studio-quality photos with OpenAI's image editor, uploads images to get public URLs, creates 10-second 3D rotating videos with Runway AI, and automatically emails both the enhanced image and video to the user.
Nate’s got a really great Skool community where you can find additional resources for this automation.
Cost estimate: Approximately $0.55-0.60 per product ($0.05 for AI image generation, $0.50 for 10-second Runway video, plus minimal costs for API calls).
