## Summary

This video walks through a complete system for creating faceless self-improvement YouTube videos that can rack up millions of views and earn money through ad revenue and affiliate marketing. It covers keyword research with VidIQ, AI-powered video generation with InVideo AI, and monetization through affiliate links such as Skillshare and Amazon.

### Key Points

- **Faceless self-improvement videos can go massively viral** [00:01] — A channel with over 85,000 subscribers and just 24 videos earned tens of thousands per month; its first video reached 1.6 million views.
- **Case study: Improvement Pill's earnings potential** [00:54] — Improvement Pill's most popular video has nearly 10 million views, and Social Blade estimates over $211,000 per year in YouTube ad revenue alone, with a CPM of over $11 in the self-improvement niche.
- **Affiliate commissions can dwarf ad revenue** [01:44] — Skillshare pays up to $67 per paid customer, and creators place affiliate links in descriptions to drive substantial additional income.
- **The 10-million-view affiliate math** [02:40] — If 1% of 10 million viewers sign up to Skillshare at an average $50 payout, that's $5 million; even 1/100th of that is $50,000 from a single 5-minute video.
- **Step 1: Find evergreen trending topics** [04:02] — Use VidIQ's Trending Videos plugin to spot videos that are still trending years after upload, giving clues about what YouTube's algorithm keeps recommending.
- **Step 2: Find low-competition related keywords** [05:24] — Avoid replicating successful videos. Instead, paste a trending title into VidIQ's keyword tool and look for related keywords with low competition and decent search volume.
- **Example: 'How to pursue your life's purpose'** [07:17] — This related keyword has over 1,600 monthly searches and very low competition, making it a realistic title for a new video to rank for.
- **How search traffic can trigger algorithm virality** [07:44] — Initial views from YouTube search signal traction; positive engagement can lead YouTube to recommend the video to a wider audience via suggested and browse features.
- **Generating the video with InVideo AI** [09:49] — After logging into InVideo AI, you can type a text prompt and click 'Generate Video' to create a fully produced video automatically.
- **Voice cloning for a more personal touch** [10:43] — Record at least 30 seconds of your voice, include the line 'I give InVideo AI the permission to use my voice', and use that clone in your videos.
- **AI video generation takes under two minutes** [12:29] — The example video was generated quickly with a realistic voice, relevant background music, and matching stock footage.
- **Easy AI edits: subtitles, CTA, translation** [14:11] — Use simple text commands to add subtitles, insert a Skillshare call-to-action at the end, or change the whole video into another language like Spanish.
- **Download and upload the video** [18:19] — Download in 1080p and keep the option to remove the InVideo watermark selected. The paid plan starts at $20 per month.
- **Create affiliate links via Impact** [19:27] — Sign up as a partner on Impact, find thousands of brands, and create a Skillshare affiliate link to place in your YouTube description.
- **Alternative: Amazon Associates** [20:29] — Join the Amazon Associates program at affiliate-program.amazon.com and add book links that appeal to self-improvement viewers.
- **Use VidIQ's AI thumbnail builder** [21:23] — Generate a thumbnail easily and tweak the text to match your keyword (e.g., 'Pursue Your Purpose') before publishing.

### Conclusion

By combining low-competition keyword research with AI video generation and affiliate call-to-actions, you can launch a faceless channel that earns money from day one, with the potential to be amplified by YouTube's algorithm.

## Transcript

videos have been blowing up getting millions of views and earning tens of thousands of dollars per month this YouTube channel has over 85,000 subscribers despite only uploading 24 videos and the first video that they
uploaded reached 1.6 million views and in this video I'm going to show you how to create videos just like these in under only 5 minutes to not only earn daily YouTube ad Revenue like this but also affiliate marketing commissions
like this so let's get into it so before I show you exactly how to start making money in this Niche by creating videos that can go viral just like this one right here which is the first video that this channel uploaded which has amassed
over 1.6 million views I first want to give you a better idea as to how much creating videos in the self-improvement niche and how we can pick a video to create that can actually go viral and I want to do that by showing you this
example channel right here again in the self-improvement niche these are all faceless videos this is called Improvement pill and if we sort by their most popular video as we can see it's got almost 10 million views and
according to Social blade this channel is making over $211,000 every single year in YouTube ad Revenue alone with a CPM in the selfimprovement niche of over $11 CPM stands for cost per Millie which
translates to the amount of revenue generated for every 1,000 views that self-improvement niche is among the highest CPM YouTube niches however this
amount specified in Social blade is nothing compared to what they're actually making they're actually making substantially more and the reason I know that if I go back over to their Channel and I click onto any one of these videos
here for example you'll see this description for skillshare which is a popular online learning platform particularly for people watching videos in the self-improvement niche now as
for everybody who clicks onto that link and makes a purchase the creator of that video will get paid up to $67 for every paid skillshare customer and we can get a rough idea as to how much money this one 5 minute video is generating from
this skillshare affiliate link we know the creator of that video gets paid up $67 for every person who clicks on to platform now let's give a conservative estimate let's say they get paid on
average $50 for every single person who signs up to the skillshare platform since it does say up to 67 so if I type in 50 into my calculator and if we in 50 into my calculator and if we assume that only 1% of the 10 million
let's call it viewers who viewed this video sign up to the skillshare platform video sign up to the skillshare platform well 1% of 10 million is 100,000 50 * well 1% of 10 million is 100,000 50 * 100,000 is $5 million now if we can earn
only a tenth of that if I do 5 million divided by 10 that's 500,000 and even a 100th of that if I divide it by 10 again that's 50,000 now I'm sure the majority of you would be happy with much smaller an amount than that from a single 5
be made with affiliate marketing especially if you can get a high number of views to your videos and I'm going to show you guys how you can maximize the amount of views that you can get to your videos in the self-improvement niche
using a very simple twostep process and I want to also show you what this channel is doing to incre in the amount of affiliate marketing commissions that they can generate if I scroll towards the end of this video as you can see
they're also prompting the viewer to click onto the link in their video description for skillshare this is a major source of revenue for this particular Creator and many others as well in the self-improvement niche so
before I show you how to create an Incredible video just like these ones right here in the self-improvement niche I first want to show you how to identify the right type of video to create to maximize that video's views with the
potential of your videos going viral again you want to follow a very simple two-step process the first of those two steps is you want to click onto this show you exactly how to get in just a second and you want to click on to where
it says view trending videos and very importantly what this plugin does is it gives us oversight as to which of the videos uploaded onto these different channels are still trending sometimes years after they've been uploaded so so
for example this video right here secret to getting better at talking to people was uploaded 5 years ago yet still continues to get almost 100 views every continues to get almost 100 views every single hour vph stands for views per
hour so as part of this first step what you want to do is identify the type of videos that are still trending years after they've been uploaded giving you an idea of the type of content that YouTube is most likely to recommend to a
wide audience via their algorithm so what you want to do is pick any one of these topics such as this one right here how to find your passion and you simply keywords I'm going to highlight how to find your passion and I'm simply going
to copy it now before we move on to the second step it's important to understand that we don't want to replicate these videos we don't want to create videos they're still trending and they're having a lot of success there's no point
in us doing that and that's simply because the competition is too high so to find a low competition video title and topic related to these trending topics what you want to do is head over to vid IQ and I'll leave a link in the
description of this video you simply want to get signed up to vid IQ and click onto where it says keywords right here and you want to paste in the title for that trending video that you would have identified using this trending
videos plugins which you can actually get by signing up to vid IQ into this text box right here and hit enter and what you'll see right here is a score a competition score for that particular keyword search term or that title how to
find your passion as expected the competition is extremely high with a competition ranking of 77 meaning if we created a video with the title how to find your passion nobody would find it we'd probably end up with zero views so
instead what you want to do to maximize the amount of views that you can get is you want to click onto where it says related keywords right here and here you'll see a complete list of all of these related keywords that we could use
for our YouTube video title and the corresponding competition levels as you can see guys nothing but High very high and so on and you want to click onto here to sort this column to see if you can identify a keyword search term that
we can use as our title with a ranking of low and as you can see here guys here is the associated search volume for each one of these keywords so yes while 388,000 people people are searching on YouTube every single month for the
keywords how to find your passion even if we created a video with that title none of that 38,000 would find our video they'd likely land on a video just like this so what you want to do is sort the competition column right here and here
we can see a keyword how to pursue your life's Purpose with a search volume of over 1,600 which is very good and a competition of not even low but very low so for the sake of this tutorial I'm going to show you how to very easily
create an incredible high quality video around the topic of how to pursue your life's purpose and by getting these initial views from YouTube search that can signify to YouTube that our video is getting interest it's getting traction
and if we get positive engagement from those viewers in terms of more likes longer watch time more comments to our videos YouTube can then recommend your video to a potentially much wider audience which is how your video could
potentially go viral and I want to very briefly show you one of my videos in the back end in my YouTube analytics which has gone somewhat viral on a channel that I run it's got over 1 million views it's generated over $44,000 of course
doesn't count affiliate marketing commissions by any stretch and as you commissions by any stretch and as you can see today I get over 15% of my views from YouTube search with the remainder mostly from YouTube recommending that
video via its algorithm which is by brow features and suggested videos and when you first create your video which I'm just about to show you how to do you might get close to 100% of your views from YouTube search this 1,600 but over
time if you do get that positive engagement and you do signify to YouTube that your video is getting traction your video can then be recommended via the YouTube algorithm reaching a much wider audience which is how you can maximize
the amount of money that you can make not only in YouTube ad Revenue when your channel gets monetized but also the amount of money that you can make from commissions so I strongly recommend signing up to vid IQ to First identify
your video title and topic giving yourself every chance of your video getting a high number of views and potentially going viral pretty much everyone uses vid IQ these days guys it is the industry standard for YouTube I
think it's around $2 per month typically but I've actually reached out to vid IQ I've got an exclusive deal for you guys where you can get signed up to VI IQ for the next 30 days for literally $1 it is a 95% discount which you can access by
description of this video so now that we've identified the title for our video now going to show you how we can very easily create this video in literally
under 5 minutes using an incredible AI tool that I talk about a lot on this channel and that is in video AI again I'll leave a link in the description of this video once you click onto that link you will be taken to the login page and
you can very easily get signed up absolutely for free with Google Apple or email and now for the exciting part once you are signed up and logged into invid AI you will be taken to a page like this and to very easily create your video to
a really high quality you simply want to type in a single line of text or small paragraph right here click on to where it says generate video and that entire video will be generated for you now while invid AI does have a wide range of
some really high quality humanlike sounding voiceovers in a wide range of different accents what I like to do is to use my own voice for these videos and using nid AI the best way to do that is to first of all clone your voice let me
show you what I mean so you want to click onto this hamburger menu right click onto where it says voices now you'll see that I've already uploaded my own voice right here this is essentially a 30 second recording and you want to do
it says says add voice right here you'll see it says submit a recording of at least 30 seconds now you want to record your voice using either a microphone your phone's microphone is even fine guys and you just want to mention at the
beginning of that recording I give in video AI the permission to use my voice speak naturally as you normally would pausing between sentences and so on and what you want to do is simply click onto where it says use right here you'll be
taken back to that same command box but this time you'll see settings use my voice which is perfect now for the sake of this tutorial since we are creating a video around the highly searched for yet low competition keyword search term in
the self-improvement niche of how to pursue your life's purpose I'm simply going to type in a prompt such as this one I've said create a 5 minute video on the top tips for pursuing your life's Purpose with actionable steps that can
be taken to live a life of purpose and passion speak with a passionate and inspirational tone with back background music to match I'm then simply going to click onto where's generate a video right here you then want to specify your
audience I'm definitely going to stick with self-improvement Seekers the look and feel I'm also going to keep it at inspirational and the platform we are of course going to keep it at YouTube I'm then going to click onto where it says
continue and in video AI will get straight to work for us now this can take a couple of minutes max guys I'm simply going to pause the video and I'll see you guys in a second that was under 2 minutes easily now let's hit play and
