AI Is Coming for Your YouTube Channel
AI is coming for your YouTube channel. And if you’ve been ignoring it, consider this your wake-up call. The question isn’t if AI will change content creation… it already has. The real question is: Are you getting left behind, or getting ahead?
Hi, I’m Erika Vieira: YouTube strategist, producer, and your biggest cheerleader if you’re a woman creator trying to navigate this new world. When I read a letter from Fiverr’s CEO, Micha Kaufman, about the future of AI and work, I knew I had to share it with my community. His message? Blunt but powerful: AI is coming for your job… and mine too.
But here’s the good news: you’re not powerless. In fact, creators who embrace AI now have a massive advantage.

I’ve been using tools like ChatGPT and Poppy AI to speed up my scripting, brainstorming, and even title creation. This shift has allowed me to consistently publish three videos a week—something that felt impossible before. I’m not replacing my creativity… I’m enhancing it.
And here’s the part that really stuck with me from Kaufman’s letter: “Become a prompt engineer.” In other words, learn how to talk to AI in a way that gives you powerful results. I’ve been doing exactly that, and it’s saving me hours each week.
The truth is, AI can’t replace our human touch: our taste, our voice, our connection with our audience. But it can absolutely support us in showing up more creatively and consistently.
This is an extraordinary time to be a creator. But it’s also a critical time to adapt. So if you’re feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone. I created a free class just for YouTube creators like us who want to learn how to use AI to grow their channels without burning out. You can sign up here!
Let’s not fear AI. Let’s figure it out together.

MY FAVORITE BUSINESS TOOLS
Course Creation: Looking to create a course? Kajabi is the BEST platform hands down. I use this for my course after extensive research on all the other platforms.
Live Calls and Interviews: I use Ecamm for my podcast interviews, both audio and for YouTube that you see here on YouTube. It makes it super easy to share my screen and create the split-screen with my guest. I’m not super techie and this software is really easy to use!
Webinars and Live calls: I use Zoom.us for my group coaching calls in my private membership group for female YouTube creators. It’s also the software I use to record my Road to 100k YouTube Subscribers Masterclass!
