A lot of people who start YouTube automation, face the same problem:
- their videos don’t get views,
- the channel doesn’t grow, and
- monetization feels impossible.
Many blame the algorithm, but often the real reason is simpler, you’re creating content in the most crowded language on YouTube i.e English.
You’re trying to stand out in a place where millions of other channels are doing the exact same thing.
There is a smarter way to get views from high‑earning countries (like the US, UK, Canada, etc.) without fighting so much competition.
In this post, we’ll talk about a hidden strategy: making videos in other languages that are still widely spoken in those top countries, so you can grow faster with much less competition.
Why Most Automation Channels Struggle
When people start YouTube automation, their thinking usually looks like this:
- “I want views from the USA and other Tier‑1 countries.”
- “Tier‑1 traffic pays more, so my RPM/CPM will be higher.”
- “So I must create content in English.”
Because of this:
- 80–90% of automation creators make English content.
- Almost every profitable niche is crowded with English channels.
- New channels simply copy existing viral English formats.
The result?
You’re one tiny fish in an ocean of English content. Your videos rarely get pushed, watch time stays low, and monetization feels impossible.
The Language Blindspot in Tier‑1 Countries
There’s a critical fact most creators overlook: the USA is not an English‑only country.
According to data on languages spoken at home in the United States:
- English is the largest, with around 245 million speakers.
- But there are tens of millions of speakers of other languages, including:
- Spanish (~42 million)
- Chinese
- Tagalog
- Vietnamese
- Arabic
- French
- Korean
- Russian
- Hindi
and more.
These people:
- Live in Tier‑1 countries.
- Use YouTube daily.
- Are monetized by the same high‑value advertisers.
Yet almost everyone is chasing only the English‑speaking segment, leaving huge language communities under‑served.
The Hidden Opportunity: Non‑English, Tier‑1 Audiences
Here’s the core idea:
Instead of fighting in the overcrowded English space, create automation channels in other major languages that are widely spoken in the USA and other Tier‑1 regions.
For example:
- Spanish
- Arabic
- Russian
- Chinese
- German
- Korean
- French
- Vietnamese
- Tagalog
What this gives you:
- Much less competition than in English.
- The same Tier‑1 earning potential, because your viewers still live in high‑income countries.
- A better chance for your videos to actually be discovered and recommended.
You’re not lowering your standards; you’re choosing a smarter battlefield.
Great Niches for This Strategy
Some niches are especially well‑suited to this approach because they work globally and don’t depend on a specific culture:
- Cars / Automotive
Reviews, comparisons, top 10 lists, features, car facts. - War Stories / History
World War II stories, famous battles, military strategies, historical events. - Motivational Content
Success stories, life lessons, self‑improvement, productivity. - Moral Stories
Short stories with life lessons, often for kids and families. - Horror Stories
Scary tales, true horror incidents, animated horror stories.
In English, these niches are extremely crowded. In Spanish, Arabic, Russian, Chinese, German, etc., there’s far less high‑quality automation competition.
How to Implement This Strategy (Step‑by‑Step)
Step 1: Choose Your Niche
Start with a niche that:
- Can be done as faceless content (automation‑friendly).
- Has global appeal.
Examples: cars, horror, war stories, motivational, moral stories.
Step 2: Study Winning English Channels
Search in English first and:
- Identify 5–10 successful channels in your niche.
- Analyze:
- What types of videos they upload.
- How they structure their content.
- Average video length.
- Style of titles and thumbnails.
- Overall storytelling approach.
Your goal is to understand the format that works.
Step 3: Pick a Target Language
Choose a language that:
- Has a large community in Tier‑1 countries (especially the USA).
- Is under‑served compared to English.
Good candidates:
- Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Chinese, German, Korean, French, Vietnamese, Tagalog.
Step 4: Repurpose the Ideas into That Language
Now take the formats you studied and:
- Write or translate scripts into your target language.
- Use a good translator or AI + a native proofreader for quality.
- Record voice‑overs in that language (human or high‑quality AI).
- Use universal visuals (stock footage, images, simple animations).
You’re recreating the idea for a new audience, not plagiarizing.
Step 5: Fully Localize Your Channel
This part is crucial and often skipped.
Make sure everything is in the target language:
- Channel name (or at least audience‑friendly).
- Video titles.
- Descriptions.
- Tags/keywords.
- Thumbnail text.
This does two things:
- Signals to YouTube exactly which audience you’re targeting.
- Makes viewers instantly feel the content is “for them.”
Why Most YouTubers Don’t Talk About This
Creators who are already successful with automation have a strong incentive not to share their best insights publicly.
If everyone starts:
- Using the same languages they use,
- Entering the same niches,
- Copying the same strategies,
then:
- Competition increases.
- Niches saturate faster.
- Earnings get divided across more channels.
That’s why language‑based strategies like this are rarely explained in detail, even though they’re extremely powerful.
What You Can Realistically Expect
If you:
- Choose a strong niche,
- Target an under‑served language,
- Upload consistently, and
- Fully localize your channel,
you can reasonably aim for:
- Monetization in about 12–18 months, depending on your upload frequency and quality.
- Steady growth in 2025–2026 and beyond as your content library grows and YouTube starts trusting your channel.
There are no guarantees, but your odds are significantly better when you’re not fighting in the most saturated language on the platform.
Final Thoughts: Think Beyond English
If your YouTube automation journey isn’t moving, the answer may not be “work harder,” but “work smarter.”
- English has a huge audience—but also massive competition.
- Other major languages have millions of viewers in Tier‑1 countries with far fewer channels serving them.
- You can tap into those audiences with the same automation systems you’re already trying to use in English.
In short:
- Stop assuming English is your only path to Tier‑1 income.
- Target languages that are actually spoken in the USA and similar markets.
- Replicate winning English formats in those languages.
- Fully optimize your channel around that audience.
Do this consistently, and you give yourself a real chance to build a monetized, profitable automation channel instead of being lost in the English crowd.
