How to Make Money on YouTube Without Showing Your Face
Are you interested in making money on YouTube without showing your face? If so, you're in luck! In this step-by-step tutorial, I will show you everything I did to go from zero to almost $11,000 a day in profit on YouTube without showing my face or recording anything with a camera. Spoiler alert: it wasn't easy, and it took a lot of time and effort. But if you avoid the five mistakes that I made, you could probably get there a lot faster and without spending thousands of dollars like I did.
Mistake #1: Only Focusing on Ad Revenue
A lot of people talk about only the traditional way of doing YouTube automation, which is to just make faceless videos and monetize without revenue. I did that for a very long time, and even though it was great, I was making hundreds of dollars a day from ad revenue. It was way harder to monetize my audience like that. I would need to get millions of views to make that much money. But if I actually promoted something in those videos, I would have gotten to $10,000 a month way faster with way less money spent. I'm using these channels as traffic sources, and then ad revenue is just a side effect.
Mistake #2: Creating Low-Quality Content
Deciding to create very low-quality content and make money as fast as possible is a big mistake. Anyone can generate a YouTube automation video with one click and upload it to YouTube, but it doesn't work. You're not going to get views, and you're not going to make any money off of that. You want to actually get some value out of the video or be entertained. You're not just going to watch a random AI-generated video that doesn't make any sense and looks like it was generated with chpt. Low-effort content is a big no-no.
Mistake #3: Automating the Process Too Early
Because the term says YouTube automation, I wanted to automate the process as early as possible because I wanted that passive income. You shouldn't really be automating the process before you learn the ins and outs of the entire business. You have to be doing it yourself for a while to get the experience, to learn different things, to know what is a good thumbnail, what's a bad title, what works, what doesn't work, play around, test around, and then after some time, you can start automating part by part.
Mistake #4: Being in the Wrong Niche
Being in the wrong niche can cost you a lot because you can put the same amount of effort, the same amount of hours and money into creating one video as you did on another channel, but if that channel was in the better niche and higher CPM niche, you will make a lot more than you did in the other one. Making this mistake can literally cost you thousands of dollars. Some of the niches to avoid are just compilation niches or entertainment niches or anything that attracts people who are usually not the ones that have money to spend on ads that are shown to them in those videos.
Mistake #5: Expecting Instant Riches
You're not going to get rich instantly, and things can take time. That's completely fine. Sometimes it takes a few months, sometimes it takes a full year before your channel takes off, and you can say that you're now eventually making $10,000 a month.
Now that we've covered the five biggest mistakes, let's talk about how to set up your channel and find viral video ideas.
Step 1: Create Your Channel
Go to YouTube and click on ADD or manage your channels. Click on create a channel, give a channel name, and pick something that you like. If you have no idea how to name your channel, go to CGPT and ask it to help you brainstorm name ideas.
Step 2: Find Viral Video Ideas
You don't need to get fancy when it comes to finding viral video ideas. You can just go to YouTube and find competitor channels that are in the exact same niche as you. Find what's performing well for them, either go to their most popular videos and just replicate what worked for them or just go to the latest videos and just compare the views that they were getting on their latest videos. If all of them on average are getting 1,000 views each, but there is some video that got like 5,000 or 10,000 views, then replicate it. Edit the video and make it a little bit better than them and then post it on your own channel.
Step 3: Create High-Quality Content
Instead of creating 100 low-quality videos that are not going to get any results and running in circles, use all of that same time and energy and money into creating one extremely quality video and then post that instead. Use AI voiceovers, but make sure your content is high-quality and doesn't seem robotic and low effort.
Step 4: Monetize Your Channel
Use your YouTube automation channels as traffic vehicles to send people to different links, whether those are affiliate links, your own offers that you want to promote, or brand deals or different companies that you want to promote. You can make a lot of money, and the way I actually made $50,000 in December was by promoting a TikTok service where I help people get instantly monetized on TikTok. We sell this service for $1,000, and that's how we actually made over $50,000 in one month.
In conclusion, making money on YouTube without showing your face is possible, but it takes time, effort, and avoiding the five biggest mistakes. Create high-quality content, find viral video ideas, and monetize your channel. With these steps, you can start making money on YouTube without showing your face.
