How I'm Upping My YouTube Game with Zero Time, 3 Channels, and a Dash of AI

I’m gonna be honest here — since I got back to Canadian soil in April, I’ve made maybe… 6 YouTube videos.
Across three channels.

Yeah, you read that right. That’s like trying to run a three-lane highway with one gas can, a duct-taped tire, and a squirrel named Motivation in the driver's seat.

But here’s the thing: I’m not giving up on this.
I’m getting smarter about it.

🧭 The Current Reality: The Time Crunch is Real

Between:

• Operating parks,
• Affiliate sites,
• Managing content calendars,
• Fixing water systems,
• And raising a crew that also edits videos (shoutout to my daughter over at ArceeAnimation.com)…

Let’s just say my “upload schedule” lately is more “whenever the stars align and the mosquitoes aren’t biting.”

But I’ve noticed something in the chaos:

The details matter, but the system matters more.

When Skylar helps edit, she nails animation and visuals — but the vision and timing still needs refining. That’s on me.

And that’s why I’ve got a new plan.

🔁 The Plan: Batch & Automate

My new system (starting this week):

1️⃣ One Dedicated Day for Scripts & Voice Recording
This is my writing day. I bulk script across all three channels:

• 🎒 Everything RVs and More
• 🌿 Everything Nature and More
• 🧠 Nomad Ninja

I sit down with tea in hand, noise-canceling on, and hammer out 3–5 scripts. Then record all the voiceovers in one go.

2️⃣ The Next Day for Editing or AI Workflow
This is where I used to go into CapCut.

But since finding out they’re repurposing uploaded content for their own entertainment… I pulled the plug. Bye, subscription. ✌️

Now I’m exploring tools that can take my recorded voice and basically build the video around it — no editing software, no manual drag-and-drop. Just plug and play.

🤖 The AI Tools I'm Exploring (and You Should Too)

I’m looking into tools that can help me (and maybe you) reclaim creative time without giving up control. Here’s what I’ve got my eye on:

Upload a script or audio — it matches stock visuals and creates a video automatically. Great for listicles or info-based YouTube content.

Script-to-video tool with decent text overlays and branding control. Good for blog-to-video conversion too.

Want an AI “talking head” to read your script in your voice? If you can clone your voice, this tool will do it with avatars or B-roll.

Similar to Synthesia, but a bit more casual. Still requires script input but solid for turning VO into presentations or explainer vids.

You can clone your voice and edit the voiceover like a doc. It can help cut out filler words, generate visuals, and even do voice correction.

💡 I’m still testing, but I’ll report back in a future post on which one actually fits my chaotic workflow.

💬 Why I’m Sharing This With You (WA Fam)

Because most of us are solopreneurs wearing a thousand hats, and if you’re running even one channel, you know how brutal content creation can be.

So instead of quitting, I’m evolving.

If I can produce even 1 video per week per channel with this system — that’s 12 videos a month.
That’s content. That’s growth. That’s leverage.

🛠️ My Advice If You’re In the Same Boat:

• Don’t aim for perfection — aim for progress.
• Script in batches, record when the house is quiet.
• Use your voice. If people trust your writing, they’ll trust your voiceover too.
• Let AI carry the visuals while you steer the story.
• And if you’re paying for a tool that doesn’t align with your values? Ditch it. There are free or fair alternatives out there.

🧩 Final Thought: The Creator Road Is Long… Bring Snacks

So yeah — I’m not some full-time YouTuber with a team and an editing bay. I’m a dad, park operator, affiliate hustler, and creator. And I’ve got three channels, zero free time, and one stubborn vision.

And AI?
Well, if it can cut my editing time in half while still keeping my storytelling voice intact — then you bet I’ll let it ride shotgun.

Let me know — are you using any of these tools? Got another recommendation I should test drive?
