## Summary

The video presents a strategy for launching a faceless YouTube channel using AI tools, focusing on original niche selection and content creation. The creator claims to have monetized a channel with just three videos in under two weeks by leveraging 'ghost niches' and Google's Knowledge Graph.

### Key Points

- **Faceless YouTube Success** [00:02] — The creator has run faceless channels since 2018, earning over $2 million and hundreds of millions of views, and claims YouTube has never been easier for such channels.
- **Quick Monetization** [00:29] — A channel was monetized with only three videos in less than two weeks, while only 4% of active YouTube channels are monetized.
- **Ghost Niche Strategy** [01:09] — Instead of copying successful niches, the creator advocates for finding 'ghost niches'—topics with little competition, like real estate or lawn mowers—using Google's Knowledge Graph.
- **VidNinjaz Tool** [02:27] — VidNinjaz includes a tool called Kumu that maps related entities from Google's Knowledge Graph to help find micro-niches, e.g., from men's fashion to men's haircuts.
- **Thumbnail Creation** [04:42] — VidNinjaz's Thumbnail 2.0 allows users to load a channel's thumbnails as references and generate new ones via AI prompts, e.g., creating a thumbnail for a business casual haircut channel.
- **Net Information Gain** [07:05] — YouTube's algorithm now uses a 'gist filter' that rejects content if it can predict the next words, favoring original scripts with new information or angles.
- **Community and Resources** [08:53] — The creator offers a school community with over 150 video tutorials, weekly live calls, editing team access, and background music, plus a daily niches module for ideas.

### Conclusion

The key to success is creating original content in underserved niches, using AI tools to generate unique scripts and thumbnails that pass YouTube's gist filter, rather than copying existing channels.

## Transcript

CashCow channels, AI channels, YouTube automation, whatever you call it, bro. We are so back. Now, I've been running faceless YouTube channels since 2018. I've done all kinds of niches. I've made over $2 million. I've gotten hundreds of
millions of views. I've been through the ad apocalypse. I've been through COVID changes of the algorithm where channels completely die. I think right now YouTube has never been easier. Which is great. 2 months ago, dude, I wasn't even
to happen. I'm going to be honest, I thought we were all cooked. I [laughter] I thought YouTube was actually done with faceless channels. But, uh, thankfully I channel got monetized with just three videos. Now, keep in mind, only 4% of
active YouTube channels are actually monetized. You know, people post consistently for years and they never get close or reach monetization. I did it in less than 2 weeks. And with only three videos. Now, I do something a
little bit different than most of the coaches out there or most of the guys video, I'm going to show you exactly how I do it. So, step number one, you want to pick a ghost [music] niche. Now, this goes against everything every other
YouTube coach says. You know, every other YouTube coach is going to tell you replicate what they do. You know, copy their niche, copy their style of videos. Which, listen, I'm not saying that doesn't work. I used to say the same
exact thing. If you go back to a year and a half, 2 years ago, I was the the king of that. You know, I was running the biggest celebrity news YouTube thought that went through my head. If you joined my community uh over a year
in trouble. I was I [laughter] was literally just telling everybody to copy each other. That is until I discovered how the algorithm truly works. You know, and I created this strategy where where the pillar is
to approach ghost niches. Now, I know how ridiculous it sounds to say create original. But, if you sit back and you think about it and look at every other YouTube channel and niche that's out there, nobody has done I would say
only 5% of topics have really been covered on YouTube. Everybody is ignoring the most basic topics because they're listening to what these gurus and coaches are saying, which is copy someone else, copy a successful niche,
copy a successful format. But things like real estate, [music] things like gas prices, things like factory shutting down, things like lawn mowers, you know, there's so many different things out there that nobody has ever touched. And
with you guys the tool that I use. It's called VidNinjaz. And in VidNinjaz, there is a tool called Kumu, where if I take a screenshot of a YouTube channel, just let it load for a second, it's going to say topic detected, men's
fashion. And again, the YouTube channel that I sent it talks about like men clothing, business casual, dress shoes, suits, things like that. And now it's mapping related entities from the knowledge graph. Now, for those of you
that don't know, men's fashion in Google's brain, in [music] its a dictionary, in its library, has something called nodes. So, men's fashion would be surrounded by all of these other nodes like dress shoes,
suits, cologne, watches, things that relate to the main pillar, which is men's fashion. From men's fashion, I got minimalist men's fashion, men's fashion lookbook, watch collecting for beginners, men's capsule wardrobe, how
to dress better for men, men style trends, men haircuts, sneaker collection and styling, men suit fit guide. So now if we sit and think and we're like, okay, you know, this talks about suits, watches, and shoes, and collared shirts.
I see men's haircuts as one of the nodes here, right? So if I click on that and I select expand cluster adjacency, which literally just means give me more of the there, right? So using Kumu, which does 50% of the work, it tells me what Google
would recognize as something similar, I can create and find a micro niche from shoes, and watches, like the example channel, I can do haircuts, business casual haircuts and hairstyles, and hair
products. And once you find a specific node that you like, for this I'm going to use best hair products for men, I'm going to set it as a pillar, which just means that this is what I'm picking. I want this to be the main niche and topic
of my channel. That's going to redirect me here to the protocol, which is different titles and different topics that I can do. So, I like this one, matching the best hair products for men to your genetics. So, I would click add
to Dojo. It will then redirect me here to the Dojo, which essentially is kind of the full pipeline of of content creation, right? I can see what video I just added. So, now that we have the niche and the title, and we have this
create thumbnails, which we're also going to use Vid Ninjas for. So, if I that I'm trying to mimic with thumbnails, and I go to Vid Ninjas, and I go to thumbnail 2.0, I'm going to see this. Here on the bottom left, I am
going to paste the channel and click load. What Vid Ninjas just did here is know, all of the thumbnails of that YouTube channel I gave it, so I can use them as a reference. From here I can pick which ones I want and I don't want,
so I don't want this one. Um all of these here are actually good to use. And what I'm going to do from here is hold shift, highlight all of them. At the bottom left, I'm going to click reference images, add selected eight.
particular, because this seems to be the format that actually works really, really well. And on the right side, you can see that I can enter a prompt. Not only that, but I can also change the quality and the aspect ratio. And I can
also switch what model I want to use to create the thumbnail. For this one in editing, you know, this image, I'm going to select GPT image to edit, image to image, and I'm going to give it a prompt. So, I said remove the shirt and
the hand. Instead, add an image of the back of the head of a middle-aged man getting a business casual haircut. Change the black text at the bottom from waste of money to professional haircut. And then I click generate. So, there we
Not bad at all. This is actually really well made. So, now you see the vision, right? This This guy's whole entire YouTube channel niche and packaging was about business casual fashion. Well, I'm going to start a YouTube channel where
it's just casual haircuts. This is the thumbnail I made with this simple prompt and I did it in less than a minute. I think it looks very, very good. So, the whole purpose of VidNinjaz is not to
find a successful channel to replicate. It is to create ghost niches. It is to create your own original niche. And it's the first of its kind. It's also the first of its kind to utilize Google Knowledge Graph as a big factor in
choosing niches. If you're someone that wants to start doing YouTube, but you recommend you give it a shot. Link is going to be in the description below. For the script writing, I also use VidNinjaz, but it's so in-depth. There
different [music] than every other tool out there that it deserves its own video. So, in this video, I'm not going to cover exactly how to do it. Now, yes, I used VidNinjaz to create this YouTube channel that got monetized with just
three videos. And that's because VidNinjaz utilizes net information gain, mentioning for a while now. Net information gain, or information gain, is a change in the algorithm that I personally noticed way before Google
even announced it. I said that because of the flood of AI-generated content and AI-generated scripts, YouTube's bot/algorithm kept reviewing and analyzing the same scripts over and over. That was a
problem for them because not only was it expensive, but it was also useless. versions, three versions, even a thousand versions of the same thing. So, Google added something called a gist filter, that is g i s t. And
essentially, what this does is that before YouTube actually analyzes your content or your script, it first has to pass the gist filter. Meaning that if Google and YouTube can predict the next words of your script or your topic
millions of times on YouTube and the internet, it is not going to push your video in the algorithm. That's why a lot of people don't get views or see You know, they're doing what all of these coaches tell you to do, which is
{quote} {unquote} doing everything right, but that's not how it works reposting the same other people did, even if it's reworded. Now, that doesn't mean that you can't create a video on a topic that someone else
already created. All you have to do is add information gain, your own experiences, or a completely different angle, a a completely different channel I showed you at the beginning, that is in a completely original niche
video topics and [music] the scripts also contain information gain. So, it doesn't even matter how much you post or how long your videos are. As long as you much it. So, if you want to learn how I do YouTube, if you want to learn my

gotten 313,000 views and he's made $1,063 [music] and speak to members like rightly, that in his first month of monetization, he made $28,710 in ad revenue. But, yeah, that's pretty
much it. Talk to you guys next time.
