Is youtube automation courses a scam? And if some are not where are there for free??

I've already started youtube automation, and right now I'm nearly up to monetization. They're countless gurus saying that "blueprint to youtube for 10k a month" and I really want that dream. Right now I'm (M21) and feel a bit stuck I do want to know the actual blueprints so I can improve on my skills and be consistent with it. And I know it's not a get rich quick scheme I just want to figure out a way to improve and scale up to 10k maybe 20k a month in the future is there any real sources that are free and don't get u to pay $1,000??
