Quick Answers
What tools do you need?
Midjourney (ai image generation with a strong art style); Canva (design for pins, carousels, covers and simple apps).
How much does it cost?
You can start for $0: Canva has a free plan. Midjourney is paid or trial-based. Check each tool's site for current prices.
Is it allowed?
Yes, if it is original. YouTube does not monetize mass-produced or repetitive content. Source.
Watch out: Self-reported. Check that your music tool's plan lets you monetize, and note that YouTube demonetizes repetitive, mass-produced uploads.
Try It Yourself
(Our template, not the creator's prompt.) Write 10 lofi video concepts: a cosy scene for a looping image prompt, a matching music prompt (tempo, instruments, mood) and a title under 60 characters.

Full write-up & sources
More detail: He made the art in Midjourney (basic $10 plan) and animated it into a loop, generated the music with an AI music tool, made thumbnails in Canva, and looped the animation over the full mix. He says posting two videos a day lowered views, so he kept to one.
Results: At 30 videos it had only 30 subscribers, so he used paid promotion to reach YouTube's 1,000-subscriber and 4,000-watch-hour threshold, then stopped.
