Intro: Faceless YouTube Automation
The video aims to demonstrate the potential of faceless YouTube automation by revealing the actual earnings of the creator's channels. The creator shares earnings from multiple YouTube channels, including one with 391,000 subscribers that made $37,000 in the past 90 days, and another with 97,000 subscribers recently monetized and rapidly growing. Additionally, the creator mentions earning an extra $11,000 through music subscriptions on YouTube. The video promises a breakdown of how to start a faceless Shorts YouTube channel.
Niche Selection: Finding the Right Market
Selecting the right niche is critical for success. The creator uses a checklist to evaluate potential niches, emphasizing the importance of consistent high views (at least 100,000 views per short) and the ability to automate content creation inexpensively. Videos should be improvable to enhance retention and swipe rates. A barrier to entry is essential to avoid saturation, requiring either upfront investment in tools like AI software or specialized knowledge. Content must be original and transformative, adding value rather than merely copying existing material. Optional considerations include the niche's performance on long-form content, high RPM (revenue per mille), enterprise value, and the potential for product sales.
Niche Research: Practical Application
To research niches, the creator recommends using an incognito browser to avoid personalized search results. The process involves browsing YouTube Shorts to identify successful videos and channels. The creator identifies a promising niche involving AI-generated content on a fake "America's Got Talent" stage, noting the channel's consistent high views and ease of automation. The creator suggests improving such videos by changing the music or adding commentary. Initially, creators should make these videos themselves using tools like Midjourney and CapCut.
Platform Selection and Uploading
For uploading, the creator advises using an aged YouTube account (at least a few months old) to avoid being flagged as a bot. YouTube is recommended as the primary platform due to its superior and stable monetization, integration of music sponsorships, and ease of assigning editor permissions. Despite focusing on YouTube, the creator suggests reposting content across platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook using a software that automates this process.
Monetization Across Platforms
YouTube requires 10 million views within 90 days and 1,000 subscribers for monetization, offering around 30 cents per thousand views, potentially rising to 50 cents with music sponsorships. TikTok requires 10,000 followers and 100,000 views, initially paying around a dollar per thousand qualified views (at least 5 seconds watched), but this rate can drop significantly. Snapchat requires 50,000 followers to monetize, with monetization details expected to change in February 2025. Facebook can also be monetized, though the creator has had limited success. Instagram lacks a direct monetization program for faceless accounts but can be used for affiliate marketing.
Outsourcing Content Creation
Once the channel generates income, the creator recommends outsourcing video creation. The creator suggests using a Discord server called "Video Editors Discord" to find editors. The process involves creating a paid request detailing the required work, budget, and payment terms. The creator advises testing potential editors with sample tasks and gradually increasing responsibilities for reliable candidates. YouTube's permission settings allow assigning editors who can upload content directly to the channel.
Scaling and Building an Empire
The strategy involves replicating the successful formula on multiple channels and outsourcing the work to scale. The creator encourages viewers to subscribe for more casual videos and to visit the Money Mind channel for professionally edited content.
