“Can AI Help You to Make Profit Before Retirement?”
Are You Still Looking for Income Online?

These are my questions and why I started to learn AI and YouTube online.

Welcome to AI Profit with Yuri 🚀

I’m building AI income step-by-step before retirement.
I’m learning how to use AI (artificial intelligence) tools to build online income — and I’m documenting everything here (on YouTube channel and this blog).
On this YouTube channel, I test AI side hustles, explore automation tools, and share what works (and what doesn’t).
If you’re starting from zero and want to grow with AI step by step, you’re in the right place. No fake gurus. Just real experiments and honest results.

If you are still looking for the way to make extra money online, additional supplement for pension plan (this is my situation), you can take some time to learn my offer.

This is one’s opinion:
“We are not going to be replaced by artificial intelligence, AI,
but will be replaced by people who know how to use AI best.”

I’m Starting an AI Income Journey in 2026 (From Zero) – I can see a real potential here (I tried may times different projects, but received empty promises or scams).

“Can a regular person build income with AI in 2026?”

Let’s build smarter together.
A normal person learning AI, testing ways to monetize it.
You can go online and follow sponsors, gurus, experts (as I do sometime),
but anyway you have your own paath and steps to reach the goal.

Now I am doing video shorts to generate audience. I started on 23 of January 2026.

Can AI Run a YouTube Channel Automatically?

This is my plan for 2026 and goal to reach extra income from YouTube.

🚨 My Very Important Mindset Shift. I am NOT 🚨 My Very Important Mindset Shift.
I am NOT: “Teaching AI”, expert or guru.
I am: “Building AI income publicly” and looking for like-minded people
with the same level or those who are ready to help.
That difference protects me from imposter syndrome.

What I did so far:
– I started a blog on WordPress, got domain name, private email address – with
Global Domain International ($10 per month) – can be one income stream, too.
– Serpclix pays me $20-25 per month just for being online, click on Google (Bing) ads.
(This is helpful to pay in future for PRO membership or for domain name)
– I created YouTube Channel (will modify the name, title, description)
– I did 20 random short videos (about myself) from my mobile phone and posted them.
I received 9,127 views and 7 subscribers
– Finally, I understood what is my niche, what I need and content of my channel (after 24 days).
– I named it –“AI Profit with Yuri” (I will edit the name of the channel – you need 14 days to wait)
– I did approximately 12 video shorts about AI (with AI program – CapCut)
– I practice with short videos and learn CapCut tool (features)
– Short videos and images I took from Pixabay
– I get advice and assistance from chatGPT
– I used only free versions of tools so far (except blog and domain name https://www.iouri.ws)
– For promotion of the channel I will use blog and one of this landing pages
(created with Landingpagemonkey.com)
– The next step – long videos (7-10 min)
– First screen recording, text-to-speech scripts
– After that – my voice and face

Here is one cover I did with this program – Ku-Ku

📅 12-Month Realistic Roadmap

Phase 1 (Months 1–3)

Goal: Learn + Build Audience

  • Post 3–5 Shorts per week
  • 1 long video per week (even simple talking head)
  • Document experiments
  • Learn basic editing + AI tools

Focus: credibility, not money.

Phase 2 (Months 4–6)

Goal: First monetization steps

  • Start affiliate links (AI tools you test)
  • Add email list (optional but powerful)
  • Improve thumbnails + hooks
  • Make more structured tutorials

You may see:

  • First small affiliate commissions
  • Maybe 100–500 subscribers

Phase 3 (Months 7–12)

Goal: Stable small income stream

  • More focused tutorials
  • Case studies (“I made $X after 60 days”)
  • Optimize best-performing videos
  • Possibly reach YouTube monetization threshold

Even $200–500/month at that stage is realistic if done consistently.
