Time/week spent: 20h - 30h

If you’re doing YouTube automation fully by yourself, from scriptwriting and content creation to voiceover and editing, expect to spend around 3 hours a day, which adds up to about 15 hours per week minimum. That’s just to maintain consistency with good-quality videos. Once you start outsourcing parts of the process (like script or editing), your weekly time can drop significantly and you can focus more on strategy and growth.
