# ZERO to $100/Day With Faceless YouTube Automation (Full Guide)

> Source: [ZERO to $100/Day With Faceless YouTube Automation (Full Guide)](https://youtube.com/watch?v=i5kVq6IDIaI)

## Summary

This video provides a step-by-step guide to starting a faceless YouTube channel that can generate $100 per day, based on the creator's experience running multiple channels earning over $60,000 monthly. It covers niche selection, content creation methods, building trust with YouTube, and scaling to consistent revenue.

### Key Points

- **Channel Success Example** [00:00] — The channel made over $7,000 in its first 30 days and got monetized in three weeks. The creator runs multiple faceless channels earning over $60,000 combined monthly.
- **Step 1: Niche Selection and RPM** [00:38] — RPM (revenue per 1,000 views) varies by niche. A higher RPM means fewer views needed for the same income. Example: $7 RPM requires ~14,300 views/day for $100, while $3 RPM requires over 33,000 views.
- **Niche Requirements** [02:00] — A good niche has both big and small channels, targets older viewers (30-60+), and has a US-heavy audience to boost RPM. Avoid niches with only large established channels.
- **Research Tools and Outliers** [03:06] — Use vidIQ or NextLive to see outlier scores (videos performing 5x+ better than average). Filter for long-form videos only. Check subscriber-to-video ratio; aim for channels with high subs per video.
- **Avoid Saturated Niches** [06:07] — Niches like rain sounds or fireplace have no room for unique angles. They are unsustainable and unpredictable. YouTube will double monetization requirements on February 1, 2027 (8,000 watch hours).
- **Unique Angle Requirement** [09:08] — Every channel needs a unique edge to stand out. Copying others leads to failure. Example: rain sounds have no differentiation, making success nearly impossible.
- **Consistency and Upload Frequency** [11:24] — Choose a niche that supports at least two uploads per week. Avoid audience fatigue by not over-uploading; maintain quality and consistency.
- **Content Creation: Manual vs AI** [13:33] — Two methods: manual freelancers (researcher, scriptwriter, editor, thumbnail designer) for niches like true crime, or AI operators (one person does everything) for AI avatar channels. Avoid full AI automation—it leads to demonetization.
- **Trust Score and Packaging** [19:36] — YouTube must trust your channel (warm-up process) and your packaging (title/thumbnail) must get clicks. Warm up the account for 1-2 weeks before posting.
- **Finding Video Ideas with Outliers** [25:45] — Look for outlier scores above 5x, check upload dates, and find high-demand, low-supply topics. Use filters to exclude shorts.
- **Scaling and Systems** [27:46] — Build a repeatable system using Trello boards to stay ahead of schedule. Evergreen content generates income for years. Consistency is key to scaling from $100/day to $1,000/day.

### Conclusion

The video emphasizes that starting a successful faceless YouTube channel requires strategic niche selection, a unique angle, consistent posting, and a scalable system. By following these steps, beginners can achieve $100 per day and scale further.

## Transcript

This YouTube channel that you're looking at right now made over $7,000 in its first 30 days. We started it from complete scratch and got it monetized in just three weeks. And this is just one of the many faces YouTube channels that we actually run that make over $60,000 combined a month.
So in this video, you'll be getting five steps that I follow every single time I'm starting a brand new channel, from picking a niche all the way to actually building the system that keeps producing the content without you. That way you never actually have to be on camera or show your face.
And by the end of this, you'll know exactly how many daily views that you need in order to make $100 a day, all on YouTube without ever showing your face, and what to do every single week to get there to actually track and manage your progress.
Let's get into it. So, to start it off, step number one is actually picking the right niche. Because a niche sets your RPM. And an RPM is exactly how much YouTube pays you for every 1,000 views that your channel and videos generate.
So when you pick the wrong niche, you can still make great videos and get hundreds of thousands or millions of views, but you end up needing double or sometimes even triple the same amount of views that you need just to make the same money. And this is a super important part, and I actually know this because
I used to run a channel. This is a super old video. It's from 2023. But this one video generated $11,000, and you can see it didn't even go viral. It only got around 600,000 views. And on a different channel in a different niche, we can see that the RP on this video was $4.81, made $3,100,
and it ended up getting just 10,000 views less than this original video over here. We can go the revenue tab 16 rpm so for every 1 000 views that this specific video got i got paid 16.39
whereas on this video again same amount of views revenue 4.81 huge difference i literally ended up making four to five times more just on this video it's in a better niche and has a stronger rpm and just as some more proof too i'll even go through you can see the currencies in usd that way you
can know that this isn't fake this is a real channel real video real revenue so now you're probably asking yourself, well, what makes a niche worth going after and how do you actually know to look at a niche and determine whether it's good or not? The simplest way, a niche that's actually
worth building is going to have not only big channels in the space, but also smaller channels. And I'm going to show you a live walkthrough of finding a new channel in the new niche that you guys could even potentially use yourself. A new niche has smaller and bigger channels in its
actual space. There's also older viewers and that's the target audience, right? Anywhere from 30, 40, 50, 60 plus year olds, people that have money to spend, and also viewers that are mainly in the U.S. because when you have a higher U.S. audience, especially when they're older people,
like 30, 40 plus years old, that is how you actually increase your RPM and get it to be pushed up even higher. So you end up making more money, you end up needing less views. Just for reference, if you have a $7 RPM to make $100 a day on your YouTube channel,
it's going to need about 14,300 views per day. However, if we take a different niche with a $3 RPM, you end up needing over 33,000 views. So you can see how going into a long niche with a lower RPM, you end up needing double or even triple the amount of views to make the same dollar amount,
in this case, which is $100 a day. So before I ever spend a single minute into building an actual channel into a niche, I always run it through these checks right here. Rule number one is do all of your research on YouTube itself. You want to make sure that you're filtering only videos,
that way shorts don't pop up because I only do long form and we don't really care about shorts. So you can just kind of scroll on your homepage and obviously everyone's algorithm is going to be different but for example like this channel keeps popping up Bertha's House Hacks and we can
see we actually have an outlier score right here which I use an extension for. It's called vidIQ or you can use NextLive. These are all free to use by the way so you can actually see the outliers and not have to guess but outliers are super super important because you can see this one video was
posted one month ago so it's still super recent and it's a 9.5x outlier meaning that this video performed almost 10 times better than her average video and of course I have vidIQ as well so I can even see their last seven days for views and we can even go here view channel stats 9.4 million
views in the last 30 days alone this channel is absolutely insane the second requirement that i'm also looking for is the subscriber to video ratio now there's not a specific ratio that i'm looking for however if you see a channel with 110 000 subscribers and only posted 45 videos that channel
is averaging i'm not a genius at math but i think that's like two to three thousand subscribers per video which is insane so you want to make sure that there's something similar to this and again we're not looking for viral channels like this it could even have 10,000 subscribers with 30 videos posted and that is still a very good
channel because they have a lot of subscribers and of course subscribers means that there's views coming from that and obviously we can see here just by scrolling through let's go to the most popular three weeks ago 6.2 billion views this is insane you can see you see the views per hour right here as well so
it's still getting pushed out it's heading into the algorithm however just like a channel can have a really good sub to video ratio, you want to make sure that it also doesn't have a really bad sub to video ratio. If this channel were to have 5,000 subscribers and were
to have 200 videos posted, you don't want to have to post 200 videos to get 5,000 subscribers, especially because in this video specifically, we're trying to aim for $100 a day and we don't want to spend six months or a year trying to just make the first 3,000 a month on the channel.
The third requirement when looking for a niche is you want to make sure that there's also smaller channels actually able to get views in this process. So this was another channel. This type of niche is AI Avatar. Don't think it's like cleaning specifically, but this is an AI Avatar.
You go to the oldest here. It's only 11 days old. We can actually look at the most popular video, 43,000 views in eight days. And again, look at the subscriber to video ratio, 1.3K subs, which isn't a crazy amount, but he's averaging a little over a hundred subscribers per video,
12 videos posted. This is a very, very solid channel. And you can see the outliers. The Outlier score on this channel isn't really the most reliable because it is a brand new channel and he's averaging like around 10,000 views a video. But a channel like this where there's
more videos to look at, more data, you can actually get way more accurate outlier scores. This video didn't even do terrible, but it's only a 2x outlier. And that is super, super important. You don't only want to look at outliers because outliers are only relevant and based on the
channel you're looking at. So if I was looking at a niche and there was only big channels getting in the space, and you see this a lot of the time with fireplace, raining sounds, sleep music, things like that. If you're able to only see big channels that have been doing it and have hundreds or thousands of videos and they're the only channels getting views in that niche,
you want to scrap it, eliminate it. I promise there's always a new niche. You don't want to end up wasting three months, six months, even a year because on February 1st, 2027, YouTube is literally doubling the requirements overnight. As soon as it hits February 1st, it's going to be
8,000 watch hours to get monetized instead of 4,000. So if you're trying to make this work and actually start a YouTube channel, there's no best time. I don't like to say that there is a best time but this is going to be the last quote-unquote easy window before it becomes
almost impossible for beginners to get it the third requirement we're looking for is aiming for a rpm seven to ten dollars or even higher now there's no actual way on youtube to ever 100% say oh this channel has this rpm it's all based on experience and what i can tell you let's go
ahead and open up this channel just because this looks absolutely insane pausing pine 4 000 subscribers seven videos you can see the views that they're getting are absolutely insane. Eight videos, four days ago, 1 million views, eight days ago, 100k. I don't even know
what niche channel this is. I just found it, but this is a unique one. But let's say we found this niche and some of you guys are like, ooh, Chris, I might want to get into this. Well, let's go ahead and take a look and break down the potential RPM. A big way that you can check is actually just looking at the content. Now, some of you guys probably don't have the skill or the experience
of like looking at content and kind of gauging who's the audience or who's the target audience. Best way I can put it is every single video, every single niche, every single channel either targets older audiences, older viewers, or younger audience and younger viewers. This particular
channel here, you can see that we let a giant pile of chicken legs deep in the woods. You can also scroll through the comments looking at people. The more thought out, like look at this guy, Jeff T. Rag, this guy is like a little bit of an older. So this is definitely targeting more of the older
audiences. There's of course going to be some younger people in here, right? But for the majority, this is definitely going to be like a 25 to 30 40 even like 50 age range And of course the duration of video as well will affect the RPM So I would say this channel just by taking a rough estimate again there no 100 way of
fact-checking this unless you own the channel, but this channel definitely has closer to a $10 RPM. I would say around like a 7 to 8, maybe even 10, but on the safer side, I'd say 7. And going back to this Bursa channel, this one's even more obvious. Like, ask yourself this, I'm 23 years
old. I would never, at least not for the next 30 years, have to look up how to clean or how to do something on YouTube. So this specific audience, I guess, even go to their most popular video, you're going to be able to see a bunch of people. Last time I heard whatever they're talking about,
both of my feet dissolved. Thank you. Your feet smell your nose runs. You go upside down. So you can see like my husband suffered. Like these are real people giving like real testimonials or leaving like their real experience or how this video helped them in any way. Of course, you can
see to the longer comments are probably is their older audience. And the reason I say that is this specific video is AI. Like this Bertha lady right here, she's not a real person. She looks called an AI avatar. Now it's done in a very, very good way, but this is how like if you're younger and like
my age, you probably already noticed that. But yeah, this channel's RPM is bare minimum 10, if not even higher, I would say it's probably higher. But on the absolute safe side, it's $10. You can see they just have a shit ton of channels pulling in some views. Now requirement number four,
which is super, super important. I need you to write this down, put it on your forehead, whatever it may be, you need to stay away from niches that have no room for your unique angle. Every single channel we do, of course, we're comparing it and kind of looking at outliers
and what's working on other channels, right? We don't have to reinvent the wheel. We don't have to create something new every time. However, you want something unique and you want something to stand out. The only reason this channel was able to go from $0, literally look at the first few
days of monetization, to then having a big day of $300 in just the first few days is because we have an edge and something unique overall about the channel. Yes, we take some things from some outliers and some other channels, competitors in the space, but it's not just a copy paste of what's
been in the niche before. We offer something new and that's how we're also able to get the average views up and also increase our viewership for returning viewers and have consistent RPM and revenue. So the perfect example for this is rain sounds. Rain sounds, fireplace, lo-fi music,
sweet music. These are the most like YouTube automation or beginner friendly YouTube niches that everyone's probably tried or heard of. The reason why these don't work is there's nothing you can do to have a specific edge.
If we open up these two videos, even though the views are absolutely insane, there's no real reason why it got views. There's no real reason. Same thing with this video. It was posted 14 years ago, got 17 million views, which is a lot, but there's no visuals.
It's literally just rain sounds with either an AI stock footage or B-roll or just a still image the entire time. Like there's nothing unique, even with all my experience, and you can see some of the plaques behind me obviously the channels I've shown you, but even with my experience, there's only so much I can do
to stand out and like genuinely try to make this work. Even if we take the fireplace niche, for example, where it's pretty much the same thing, they got 1 million views on a 10 hour video. But again, it's the same thing looped. There's nothing crazy about it. And this isn't sustainable or
predictable, which is one of the requirements I have with all my income comes from YouTube. I want to make sure I don't have a $50,000 a month and then it drops down to 20,000, right? We need to have consistencies and it should be growing up, up and up and up every single month. These channels aren't sustainable and there's no type of edge or uniqueness that you can add to it.
Even with my experience, I'm telling you, there's nothing different from this video that got 25 million views versus this video that got a million views, which is 25 times less. It just doesn't make sense. Now, step number five is a little bit different because it plays into the consistency in the schedule that you're actually going to be posting on.
But you essentially want to make sure that every single niche that you're in can handle at least two uploads per week. A very good example of this is the true crime kind of body cam niche. This example channel here, again, if we're looking at the sub to video ratio, 107,000 subscribers with only 34 videos posted is absolutely insane.
We can see here this channel is absolutely ripping, and I've talked about this channel before, but their most popular video, 14 million views in one month, which is actually, quantitatively enough, I'm in this body cam space. It's kind of a true crime documentary.
This is actually something that I'm really, really big in. It helped other people get into this and make a ton of money with it, so I know a lot about this specific channel and overall how this works. But there's tons of channels like this where you're able to post more than once.
You don't want to only post once a week. This channel especially is a very, very good example. They have 24,000 subscribers with only five videos. And their first upload absolutely ripped 3.6 million views. And these other ones haven't been doing the greatest.
But they've made a lot of money already. And they're brand new. Even something like this, another channel through True Crime Documentary, 5,000 subscribers, nine videos posted. You can see this is at least a lot more consistent. 1.1 million views one month ago.
They're averaging several hundred thousand views and they're still brand, brand new. Last 30 days, 1.1 million views. So again, if we do the math, let's say they have a $10 RPM, which I know this channel very, very well and this niche very, very well. So $10 RPM is easy.
That's $11,000 in their first 30 days of starting this channel. It's only posting nine videos. Technically, the more that you post, the more money you make. But there's also something on the opposite end of this called audience fatigue. Think of it like Mr. Beast.
If Mr. Beast was to upload for the next month, one video every single day, his quality would go down, production would go down. The first few days it'd probably be good because people would like be interested in what he's doing but overall you can see he's averaging
one video every two to three weeks. Because it's so high production there's so much things that go into it he can't really afford to upload every single day and eventually the more you upload the more videos you give them to watch they're kind of just going to put it in the back of their
mind like oh well I missed today's upload but I could always catch up to it on tomorrow for the next video and then they never do and then they miss out and then you lose a long-term viewer basically. So now we covered how to actually find a good niche and what that actually looks like and
some of the requirements. Section number two is deciding how and who is exactly going to make your videos because that's going to decide actually how much money that you keep from every upload, how fast you can post, and whether YouTube even pays you or not. And especially now with how cheap
AI is in 2026 and moving into 2027, you're probably just thinking like, you know, Chris, why don't I just use AI for everything? And that's exactly what I call the full AI trap. You end up building the whole channel with AI because someone told you that it ends up running on itself or it has automations or systems that it just does by itself without you.
And for a few months, it ends up actually working. But then in the long run, your channel ends up looking something like this, where this is in the body cam space. You can see they actually have a few viral or like super, super, extremely good outlier videos.
However, these specific videos, they're body cam stories and they're completely done with AI. You can see now they're actually losing subscribers. subscribers. They're not gaining any views and it's because they haven't uploaded in over three months because they got demonetized. So like initially when you start using AI and kind of
having things automated and like done for you with AI, it feels like a shortcut, but genuinely if it's not done the correct way, then it's the fastest way I've seen to lose a channel. And I do want to make that very, very clear because a lot of beginners think that you can't use AI or
that YouTube is bailing it or you can't touch anything at all with AI. You can use AI, but there's a wrong way of doing it and then there's a correct way. This channel that I just showed you, Bodycam Horror, they did it the wrong way and obviously you can tell because you don't just
go from posting getting a million views, 600,000 views to then not posting at all, especially because they're still getting views. It's not much, but they have 100,000 views almost in the last three months and they just completely kind of threw away the channel. And the only reason
why channels stop uploading is because they get demonetized. There's no other reason. So rather than fully using AI, and it really does depend on your niche, we're looking at the Bertha, Cooks or any of the AI avatar channels obviously that's a lot more AI driven. The b-roll, the stock
footage, it's really done with AI and of course you can have manual or like freelancers do some of the work and help you with it. Majority of this niche in channels in the AI avatar space is done with AI. So again it really does depend on your channel however just like the same thing
on this channel these body cam true crime documentary channels there's very very little done with AI If anything it usually only the thumbnails but the actual video the video production the editing the voiceover everything like that for the most part around 80 90 of this video is fully legit and done with what I
call manual freelancers. And this is also something I like to do as well is mimic what the top outliers on each channel are doing. So let's say for whatever reason, because I've heard people say this, they always say, oh, Chris, you know, body cam content is going to turn into AI. I don't think
it ever will because AI is still so new and there's so many errors with it. And part of the reason, I think really the main reason these body cam videos do so well is it's a real situation. It's a real scenario. If we knew it was done with AI and it's just a fake story or a fake case and we know it's not real,
it takes away that shock value. If you look at the Redfile channel, which is the one that I showed earlier, the entire reason these videos do good in the first place is because they have that shock value. Friendly wife has no idea police are about to arrest her for murder.
If we knew this was fake and AI, we'd be like, okay, it's foreign. It's kind of like a movie. Killer realizes DNA finally caught him after 23 years. That's interesting because I'm thinking, how the hell did anybody catch him after 23 years? Like, that's so long.
What, did we just randomly find something? Did he admit to it? Like, how did we find him 23 years later? So, all these are very, very interesting because of the fact that they're actually real. So, this is two different ways of, depending on your channel, depending on your needs,
the ways that you can go. Number one is manual freelancers. This is where you go on Upwork, OnlineJobs.ph, also Fiverr. I don't recommend Fiverr at all, but I'm just using that as an example so you know, because a lot of people know what Fiverr is.
But manual freelancers is when you have one person or one freelancer do an individual job for you. So for example, if you wanted to run a body cam channel or something like this, you would need a researcher, a script writer, an editor, and a thumbnail designer,
and maybe a voice actor, or you could utilize AI. So you need bare minimum four people to actually run this channel, and you would need one person individually to do each task. So you would need a researcher, one person, script writer is another person,
an editor is another person, thumbnail design is another person. Or if you were running a birthday coach or an AI avatar channel or something where you can utilize AI more, I call it an AI operator and it's essentially one freelancer or maybe two depending on how many channels you're running and
how many videos, but it's usually one person that ends up doing everything for you. So one AI expert does everything and runs it for you. They do the scripting, the editing, the video production, the visuals, the stock footage, the b-roll, generating things for you. They even do the
thumbnails and they do the voiceover. So this channel right here, I obviously don't know who runs it and owns it but I would imagine there's one maybe two people at their scale that are running this entire channel for them just because they're daily uploading and they're doing around
12 to 15 minute videos and again it's just stock footage b-roll the thumbnails AI the titles they're pulling from other outlier videos in the niche as well and so they have probably one or two AI operators running that entire channel however this channel Redfile in the true crime space to make
this one video you needed a script writer you needed an editor you needed a thumbnail designer the same thing on this channel over here as well we have individual positions filled for each one because it doesn't rely heavily too much on AI kind of like this one. Let me know if that
makes sense. And I want you guys to write this down. Again, try it on your forehead, take a screenshot of it. But this is super important. It really just depends on your niche and your specific channel, but you can either utilize manual freelancers where you hire them or AI
operators and one person does everything for you. Another kind of checklist that I use just like in my mind is if I'm watching videos like the Birth at Cook's channel, if you watch that, you can tell that 100%, or let's say like very least 80% of that channel and those videos can be made with AI.
So that was when you can kind of tell and in your mind differentiate from deciding if you need manual freelancers or if you need an AI operator. But when you watch the body cam, it's real footage. You need a researcher to request that. AI can't really do that at this point, at least not
sustainably and at least not predictably and not good enough. So you're going to need a researcher to get you the actual footage and you're going to script writer to script out and kind of plan the video and do the outline. And obviously the video editor kind of brings everything to life. Thumbnail designer, of course, for the title, thumbnail packaging, making sure people can actually click on the video.
Now, getting YouTube to actually show your videos to viewers and an audience is super, super important. And this is what's called trust score. And this is super important because for every view that you actually end up getting on your channel and videos, you need two things to happen.
Number one, YouTube has to show your video to somebody. And then number two, that person actually has to click on it, right? So think about when you go to your YouTube homepage, there's tons of videos. you have to end up clicking on a video which is like converting you from impressions to an actual
viewer. And so most people, what they'll do when they create a new channel is they'll just create a brand new Gmail and a brand new YouTube account. And that, because it's so brand new, it doesn't have either one of those working yet. So this step actually decides if your videos end up getting
seen and pushed out into the algorithm at all. I call this waiting period the zero view jail. End up publishing content, whether it's good or not, but they're in this very low view or even low impression kind of area. You can see here this random video they uploaded actually did way better
than their actual content. And this is before even YouTube decides whether your quality is even good. This is just getting it pushed out into the algorithm to initially get feedback so YouTube can continue to push it out. So having a good trust score and being able to get into the algorithm
comes down to just two things. Job number one that you need to do is position your channel and your Gmail account as a real legitimate person. That way YouTube deems and views your channel as being used and owned by a real person and not a scam, not a spam, not AI, nothing like that
where it's a fake account. And the more that YouTube ends up actually trusting your channels, the more that it shows and pushes out your videos to real people. Now, job number two for you is packaging, which is your title and your thumbnail. And that's actually what gets people to click on an actual video once they see it.
So we go to my homepage right now, now that we've watched some videos, and we scroll through. Something that catches my eye initially is this one right here, which is raccoons eating fruit. And the reason why it catches my eye is because I've never seen this in my life and there's also some nice colors.
And we can also read the title. We serve the jungle juice pool to wild animals. Very simple, very basic, and it dumbs down the point. And obviously you can see outlier-wise as well, 42x. It's a very good video, 1.2 million views. So this is what packaging is.
It's title thumbnails. Same thing over here, birth left. The best way to clean your shower and tub, the Mexican way. Very simple, very basic thumbnail and title. And it pops out because it's also got the pink shirt with the white background. It's basic human psychology of contrasting colors against each other and also having the title very dumbed down.
That way anybody, any age can understand it and it's not something super difficult that they have to like try and decipher to figure out if they want to watch it or not. So for the two jobs that I just gave you, which is YouTube looking at your channel like it's used by a real person and understanding packaging,
if you miss any of those, you're going to be staying in the zero view jail and you're not going to be able to get views and you're not going to be able to make money overall. So this is exactly what I do so that YouTube can actually show my videos and my trust score is actually higher. You want to use the account like a normal person at least one to two weeks before you even post anything on it.
This is what's called the warm-up process. And there's not a specific amount of videos that you want to do, but you can give it 20, 30, even 40 minutes a day if you really want to. You're just going to go through and you can pretty much watch whatever type of videos you want. And you just want to engage and use the account and build up some actual watch history on the channel.
So you do that for about a week or two. You use it every single day and you're doing this all before you post any of your actual videos content. Now, something I will say because I see this happening inside the people that I actually work with still is people think that the warm up process means that you can kind of just sit back and make that we're waiting to do anything.
But what you can actually be doing is studying and analyzing and doing research on your channel, titles, thumbnails. How are the biggest channels get views? How did the brand new smaller channels are able to get outlier videos like the Red File, Coldline, whatever other channels that are like that in your niche?
What are they doing so they can stand out and already have something and have a ton of audience, get hundreds of thousands or millions of views? You can do all of that alongside while warming up and watching and using the channel like a normal user for the first one to two weeks, right?
It's not like you're just sitting there waiting for something to happen. You can still take actionable steps. And that's what I found the most successful people that I've worked with or even some of my friends. We actually use this time to get ahead rather than warming it up for one to two weeks and then finally starting on things that we had to do earlier.
So that's a very dumbed down warmup process that I use and show anybody that wants to start a YouTube channel But even with this there nothing guaranteed on YouTube as this is a real business and your channel might actually still sit at zero views for some time even if you do this Consistency is also a very very big thing
You want to make sure that you're consistently posting and if you're deciding to go for two videos a week or three videos a week, you stay to that cadence and that way you at least know and can show YouTube that, hey, I'm a real person. I'm uploading consistently and you're staying in your niche. Don't try one or two videos in one niche and then swap to something else because then YouTube doesn't even know who to put your content out to.
They don't know what type of channel you are. And that's also why I run a deeper version of this exact one-up process on my students' channels, so that way their videos and their overall channel's trust score can be higher and get used right away. Just for an example, Asmay, who some of you may know, she joined as a complete beginner,
and her Bodycam channel actually made over $7,000 in her first ever month monetized on YouTube. You can see here I asked her how her videos were doing, and this was at the time what her channel looked like. She was getting 55,000 views real-time.
She had multiple videos in the hundreds of thousands of views and you can see here last 28 days from just barely being monetized within the first two weeks, she made $4,800 with a single video making over $2,000.
As a complete beginner, which is insane. And I actually help more people just like Ask May who are brand new or looking to even scale their channel further one-on-one with people all the time. So if you're serious about doing this alongside with me personally, then you can apply using the first link in the description below.
But anyways, there's no most important part of a YouTube video because I like to say that they operate in sequences. Initially, when you first start, the trust score or your impressions is number one. Then, obviously, it has to be the title, the thumbnail, the idea.
Because if the idea behind the video, even if your trust score is good, they're gone in the first minute and they're going to click off. And then YouTube isn't going to push it out because people aren't watching the video anyways. A good trust score and high impressions will not revive or make you money if your videos are shit.
There's no way of doing that. you have to learn the skill of how to make a good video, what does your target audience want, and delivering on that repeatably, and of course, applying and testing new things as well. The next thing I want to cover is outliers and how to know and gauge what type of videos should
you be making, what type of video ideas are good. Basically, if we look up true crime documentaries, we're going to go through and we're going to figure out what type of angle I would do if I was to find this. So again, we want to use filters, we want to go to videos, that way we're not looking
shorts you want to look at outlier scores from anything above a 5x so let's look for a smaller channel that's still able to get several hundreds or even millions of views like this video right here this channel has 148 000 subscribers so relatively big but this outlier is a 97x outlier
so let's click on this you can see again here in the last 30 days looks like they've deleted some videos but last seven days they gained almost 400 000 views and they're posting every single looks like four times a week and they're uploading 30 minute videos and again this is a higher rpm
because it targets the older audience again i'm in this niche i actually know and their videos are longer as well so we just keep scrolling we can see here like we have videos that don't even get outlier scores that actually underperform and we have a video with 7x outlier 16x outlier these are
ideas that i could potentially or even cases that i could potentially cover as well just because there's so much demand look at supply and demand you want to see videos or niches or ideas that have a lot of views but very little supply or very little actual videos made on that that would be
the perfect idea that you could actually cover so i would say look at outlier scores very minimum 5x the higher the better but also looking at the upload date is extremely important because if this was a 97x but this was 10 years ago well a 97x is insane but 10 years ago is obviously way too long
just like same thing here even though outlier score it's only a 1.4 you know if this came out only a day ago and it had a 1.4 that would actually be pretty good so you want to also kind of take those things in mind but looking at outlier scores again depends on the channel but
it's super super important for coming up and finding ideas now going on to part number five which again i don't like to say that any part is more important but this part is for the monetizing and scaling and really building the system to actually get you to a hundred dollars a day but
not just staying there getting a hundred dollars a day and then hitting three hundred dollars a day $500 and potentially hitting your first $1,000 in a single day all with your same Facebook YouTube channel. Having a repeatable system that's scalable, that works on many channels is very, very
important because this video obviously went viral, but it generated me $20,000, I'll even refresh, and we have another video in a very similar niche, 1.8 million views with $9,000, and these videos are super, super old.
This is why we also do evergreen channels and nothing trend-based, and they're still generating me money, still getting views to this day despite being three years old. And once you get your channel monetized, hitting that first $100 day isn't even going to be hard.
It's how to keep it consistent and making sure that you understand this is a real business. Every day that you miss an upload or you don't stick to your schedule, you're literally leaving money on the table. And obviously, the only reason we're doing these faces channels in the first place is obviously to make money.
So I don't want to leave any money on the table. I'm super strict with my upload schedule. If we're doing two times a week, we need to do two times a week. is if you miss that one video, momentum and consistency plays a huge part, especially scaling to getting your first potential even $1,000 a day
or making your first $10,000 a month. So we're starting off with $100 a day, 3K a month. Very, very doable. Not hard at all. You saw that first initial channel made over $6,000 in the first month of getting monetized. And the best way that I recommend you getting ahead is setting up what's called a Trello board.
We have this for a actual body cam and true crime documentary channel. This is a channel that I haven't even started posting on, but we're already ahead over two weeks, I think closer to three weeks. So that way we have consistency. If we're posting two or three times a week, we're already ahead three weeks.
And that way, if any freelancers quit or anything negative happens, like let's say something I can't work for a week, whatever reason, we're already ahead and the channel is fully taken care of. And we're not in a constant hands-free cycle. Because I know a lot of people make the mistake of producing and getting their first video
and then they just run off with it and post it. And then they don't even realize like, oh shit, I literally have to go and make a second video. So always stay ahead, get around two weeks ahead. So if you're doing a video every week, get two to three videos ahead.
That way you have time to be able to hire, outsource new people and look at that. You can see here in the trailer that everything documented. We even have the instructions and guidelines with the SOPs in here. So for editing, voiceover, edit, captions, whatever it may be, every specific part, script writing,
have a specific kind of how-to instruction sheet. That way everything's documented. And once you have this system actually up and running, $100 a day being some crazy goal or outlandish, it really doesn't even feel that hard to reach and it turns into a new baseline like you go from
trying to make a hundred dollars a day to hundred dollars is just what i need to consider this a good day and that's actually how you see growth because nobody wants to do this making 3k a month everyone watching this video wants to bare minimum make their first 5k and then 10k but just having
that proof of concept once you see your first you go to that dashboard of that video that generated a hundred dollars two hundred dollars whatever it may be you can just see okay if i can make that much money in that amount of time from one video or in a day, imagine if I had three other channels
running to make three, four hundred dollars a day and just repeat the process. And I know what you're wondering now, what comes after hitting that hundred dollar a day goal? Well, Jordy actually joined my one-on-one program already making about four thousand dollars a month from his channel.
And just last month in August, he made fifteen thousand dollars. And he got there by actually scaling his existing channel using the same five steps that you just watched and implementing that on his own channel. And I help people scale their own channels inside my community all the time.
And when you apply using the first link in the description below, I look at your specific channel, showing and actually analyzing and understanding what's holding you back. Or if you're new to YouTube, I take you through the entire deeper warmup process
that I mentioned earlier. It's for curious people only and the application to apply to work with me directly is the first link in the description below. And if you're still someone trying to find a niche and find a channel to actually make videos and execute on and start your channel,
Just run that subscriber to video ratio that I said before you even spend a dollar on the actual team or videos. Thank you guys for watching. Any comments that you guys need, feel free to drop it down below. I'll see you guys in the next one. Peace.
