Transcripts
let me tell you why 99% of faceless
YouTube channels fail and how you can be
in the 1% that succeed but before we get
into it let me explain why you should
even be listening to me in the first
place see I started creating faceless
YouTube channels in
2017 since then I've grown over 20
faceless YouTube channels some have
failed some have blown up to millions of
views and from two of the channels I've
made over
$100,000 so in this video I'll share
what I've learned over the last 6 years
so that you're not in the 99% that try
and fail you've probably heard of
faceless YouTube channels but if you
haven't picture a YouTube channel with
no YouTuber in the videos that's it
that's all they are and the first thing
you need to know about why 99% of them
fail is because people come into it
thinking faceless YouTube channels are
an easy way to get rich quick online and
that's probably because there's a ton of
YouTube videos out there telling you
that that is the case people will tell
you to Outsource everything go to Fiverr
get a script writer a voiceover artist a
video editor editor a thumbnail designer
and you'll start making $10,000 per
month in no time now while that $10,000
per month is definitely possible it's
not going to happen in no time a lot of
people have the expectation that they'll
post a couple videos on YouTube that
they wouldn't even watch for themselves
and all of a sudden they're going to be
making $10,000 a month if that's your
expectation feel free to hop off of this
video because that's just not the
reality of it as much as I'd love for it
to be it's not so you faceless YouTube
channels need to be treated like any
other big business to make them
successful you have two choices either
you can put a lot of work and time in
doing every part of the video making
process or you can spend a lot of money
Outsourcing each component of the video
making process which we will talk about
in a little bit here so stick around but
just know that simply going to Fiverr
and hiring a couple different people to
put some videos together for $10 that's
not going to get you any success on
YouTube growing a faceless YouTube
channel takes just as much effort as if
you were growing a channel with you in
the actual videos the algorithm that
you're facing is the same one that took
Mr Beast 4 years to get his first 1,000
YouTube subscribers it took me almost 20
videos to get monetized on YouTube and
to get those 20 videos made it took
about $800 out of my own pocket before I
even saw my first dollar and even after
I saw that first dollar come from
YouTube it still took me multiple months
to become profitable because the amount
of money that I was paying to get the
videos made was less than YouTube was
actually paying P me on a monthly basis
took me until 8 months to actually be
profitable with my first faceless
YouTube channel so don't expect to go
out there and start making $10,000 a
month or even just a couple hundred a
month for at least 6 to 8 months the
next reason that most faceless YouTube
channels fail is twofold people try to
Outsource everything from day one and
they don't actually understand how
YouTube works let me explain see in
order to actually make money from
YouTube you need 1,000 subscribers in
4,000 watch hours or 10 million short
views if you were to post 10 10 minute
long YouTube videos and people watch 30%
of the way through each video which
believe it or not is actually pretty
difficult to do each video would need
8,000 or more views in order to reach
monetization eligibility there are so
many people out there just saying to
Outsource every aspect of the video
making process but in reality if you
were to Outsource everything it would
cost you about $1 to $150 per video for
10 videos that's ,000 to
$1,500 in total and on average it takes
about 30 to 50 videos to get monetized
on YouTube that's anywhere from $3,000
to $77,500 just to get enough videos
created to possibly make your first
dollar on YouTube so there's a lot of
money that you will need upfront to
start making money if you Outsource
everything from the start but there is
another option which a lot of people
don't talk about but it's definitely the
best way to get started and that's to do
everything yourself and I know that
sounds terrible doing all the work but
hear me out putting the videos together
yourself will allow you to learn the
YouTube algorithm to make better
decisions on video ideas titles
thumbnail design and feedback on editing
for when you do ultimately Outsource the
video creation most faceless YouTube
channels fail because people don't
actually understand the YouTube platform
and if you create all the videos
yourself at first you will actually
understand the YouTube platform and not
only just the platform but the YouTube
analytics which is the most important
part of the YouTube platform they show
you exactly who is watching your content
what titles people like what style of
thumbnail Works what other videos your
audience is watching and if you
understand how to read the YouTube
analytics YouTube is essentially
screaming at you how to get more views
once you're monetized and once you have
a good understanding of YouTube
analytics and the algorithm and how the
platform Works guess what you are 99%
ahead of any other person who's trying
faceless YouTube channels and it's time
to start Outsourcing when you do
Outsource you'll need to hire a script
writer for the script a voiceover artist
for the audio a video editor for the
visuals and potentially the music and
sound effects too a graphic designer for
thumbnails and again this is going to
cost you anywhere from $100 to $150 per
video especially if you're making high
quality videos and if you're not making
high quality videos no one's going to
watch your videos you're not going to
get subscribers you're not going to get
growth and you're not going to make any
money from YouTube so make high quality
videos please but you don't have to
Outsource every part of the YouTube
video making process at first you can
still write the script and make the
thumbnails while hiring a video editor
for say $50 and a voiceover artist for
say $20 or you could use an AI tool
which allows you to put in one prompt
and spit you out a monetizable
fulllength YouTube video with the
voiceover editing visuals everything
done for you and you can even tweak the
script afterwards or you could replace
the visuals with ones that work better
and ones that you like more or you can
change the voiceover to your liking you
can customize it however you want but
using an AI tool like in video AI for
instance will help you a lot in the
process but either way if you're
Outsourcing to people or to AI you don't
have to do it all at once you can go
slowly and gradually move closer to
fully automating your faceless YouTube
channel because remember the goal of
your faceless YouTube channel is to make
money if you're throwing a ton of money
out without bringing any in then
unfortunately you're not really doing it
right and that brings me to the number
one reason that 99% of faceless YouTube
Channel fail they don't actually
understand how to make money on YouTube
they rely solely on AdSense and when
they put a couple videos out and they're
not making any money and their Channel's
not monetized then they quit 99% of
people will quit but you can actually
start making money from your first video
that you put out on YouTube you can do
that through affiliate marketing
affiliate marketing is when you talk
about or show a product or service in
your videos and if a viewer uses a
unique affiliate link that you put in
the descriptions to purchase that
product or service you make a commission
off of the sale let's look at top Tech
now for instance it's a faceless YouTube
channel that does tech reviews this is a
great way to make money outside of
AdSense they might do a review on say a
$500 tech product and they might have a
20% affiliate commission if they get one
sale from one viewer say 10 people view
the video but if one person goes to the
link in the description buys that
product they get $100 that's $100 from
one video people don't understand that
you can make a lot of money and you'll
probably make more more money than you
will from AdSense from affiliate
marketing and to find affiliate deals
there's affiliate networks like
ClickBank or partner stack or you could
go to most websites of products or
services that you like and most
importantly that align with the content
that you're actually putting on on your
channel you scroll down to the bottom of
the website and usually you'll be able
to find a link to sign up as an
affiliate once you sign up as an
affiliate you'll put your link in the
description of your videos and if
someone buys you'll start making money
you will not be relying solely on
AdSense see this whole thing thing is
about setting your expectations ahead of
time and if you understand that faceless
YouTube channels won't get you rich
immediately Outsourcing from day one is
not the best method in understanding how
to make money outside of AdSense is
crucial for Success your faceless
YouTube channel will not be in the 99%
