How AICodeKing Monetizes Coding YouTube Channels Like a Pro with Super Thanks and Membership Perks

AICodeKing and its cousin AISeeKing are YouTube channels pushing out daily coding content—sometimes even multiple times a day.

Since March 27, 2024, AICodeKing has published 527 videos alone (that’s 1.2 videos per day). But what sets him apart isn’t just consistency—it’s the unapologetic frequency of his money ask. This isn't just a content engine. It's a donation and membership machine, powered by one deceptively simple script.

Repeating One Script Across 500+ Videos That Pays Daily

In every single video, AICodeKing delivers a line that most creators are too shy—or too lazy—to repeat:

"Let me know your thoughts in the comments. If you liked this video, consider donating to my channel through the Super Thanks option below. Or you can also consider becoming a member by clicking the Join button. Also, give this video a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel. I'll see you in the next video. Till then, bye."

It's likely pre-recorded. It probably takes him zero extra time per video. But it's repeated consistently. And it works.

Turning Viewers Into Donors by Making the Ask Obvious

Most YouTubers ask for likes and subs. AICodeKing (and AISeeKing) ask for money, directly. That difference is everything.

They’ve baked donation language right into their scripts. It’s as casual as asking for a like—but leads to something far more tangible. Instead of chasing follower counts, they're stacking small donations, day after day.

And unlike Twitch streamers or mega-influencers, AICodeKing doesn’t rely on hype. He makes tutorials and news updates. The value is utility—and viewers are fine paying for it. It is extremely hard to make developers pay.

Since March 27, 2024, to June 11, 2025, AICodeKing has uploaded 527 videos. That averages out to over 1 video per day. Even on low-effort days, he keeps the engine running.

Each video includes:

• A tutorial or update

• A pinned donation or membership call

• Visible Super Thanks from real users

You Don’t Need To Be Famous To Get Paid

You don’t need to be MrBeast or MKBHD. AICodeKing isn’t a mainstream name. But he built a niche community, asked them directly for support, and kept showing up.

And it’s working:

• Consistent donations show up in every video

• His fans are conditioned to expect the ask

• He likely recorded the ask once and reuses it

This kind of system brings in money while most creators are still fine-tuning their thumbnails.

You can see it clearly in videos like this, where the content delivers value quickly and the donation ask is embedded without friction.

This isn’t about flashy growth hacks. It’s just asking, clearly and consistently, and doing it enough times to let it compound.
