I Made $1.8M Without Watching My Videos
44sThe shocking claim of making millions without watching content challenges conventional wisdom and sparks curiosity.
▶ Play Clip"The title promises 11 things but the video delivers a few solid strategies with a heavy promotional push, making it a decent but padded watch."
The video presents a contrarian approach to YouTube success, arguing that content quality is less important than strategic packaging and replication of proven formulas. The creator, who runs faceless channels, emphasizes the importance of analyzing competitors and doubling down on successful topics to grow a channel.
The speaker has run faceless YouTube channels since 2018, posting over 10,000 videos and earning over $1.8 million across all channels.
The speaker claims that content quality is irrelevant; they posted a video on a topic they didn't care about and made over $12,400 in ad revenue in 39 days.
Getting a viral video is easy by picking trendy niches or making videos on trending topics, as demonstrated by making money from Ellen DeGeneres and Diddy controversies.
The speaker recreated a video by Dan the Creator, which got 856,000 views, and got 784,000 views with a different title and approach, proving the effectiveness of packaging based on competitors' winning blueprints.
For new channels, packaging (thumbnail and title) is the most important part; video ideas should be based on what the packaging will look like.
Many people fail by chasing trends instead of focusing on their audience; if a video about Leonardo DiCaprio performs well, the channel should post more content about similar celebrities like Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie, not unrelated trends.
For automation channels, the speaker recommends using ChatGPT, 11 Labs, and VidIQ.
The key takeaway is that YouTube success comes from strategic replication and audience focus, not original content creation. By identifying winning formulas and doubling down on what resonates with a specific audience, creators can achieve consistent views and revenue.

05:20[00:01] [ __ ] to the side for a bit because my philosophy is completely different than 99% of them. And something that I strongly disagree with most of them is what to do after you upload a video. But first, if you don't know who I am, my
[00:14] Faceless YouTube channels since 2018. And since then, I've posted over 10,000 YouTube videos and I've made over $1.8 million across all of these channels. So, first, let's get something straight. I've never had an emotional connection
[00:27] posted. My strategies and my beliefs are not just from my experience but strictly gets a little bit confusing for people because other YouTube coaches give advice based on one goal, right? It could be affiliate links, it could be
[00:41] music deals, it could be high ticket sales. Each one of those things is a completely different strategy. But my strategy and my advice is just on how to get views in general, right? So, if you were to give me a random topic, a a
[00:53] channel on, something that I don't care about, I could probably blow that channel up. And actually, I did this recently. On August 12th, I posted a video on a topic that I don't give a [ __ ] about. And in just 39 days, this
[01:06] YouTube channel made over $12,400 in just ad revenue. And here's my point. The actual content or the quality of your video does not matter. And I say that because for this YouTube channel, I haven't watched a single video, right? I
[01:19] don't even know if the voice is a male or a female. And in some of my previous say that this is easy. But what I mean when I say that YouTube is easy is that it's easy to create the videos. That can be fully automated, which which it is.
[01:32] So again, your channel may not be failing because your content is [ __ ] It strategies and what you do, right? A lot of people's main focus when it comes to YouTube or YouTube automation is just like creating the best highquality
[01:45] gives a [ __ ] what the quality of your video is. As long as you repeat a certain pattern, your chances of seeing success increase tremendously. You know, long term and people who get a a viral
[01:58] dies. Which, by the way, getting a viral video is easy. I don't give a [ __ ] what you say. It is. It is very easy. Pick a trendy niche or make a video on single time, every day of the year, and you're going to see results. That's what
[02:11] channel, right? When Ellen Degenerous got cancelled, I made a [ __ ] ton of got into that court battle, I made a [ __ ] ton of money. When Diddy got And I don't care about any of those topics. I really don't. But just because
[02:25] it was trendy, I got views and and that channel ended up making over a million dollars. So listen, there's multiple ways of doing YouTube. One way is the passionate, creative, quality content uh direction. And the other one is just,
[02:38] hey, [ __ ] it. This is what you got to do. Repeat this for 365 days a year, and essentially, this video is deeper than just what you do after uploading because how you're going to start posting videos from here on out, right? So So let's
[02:53] months ago, Dan the Creator posted this video here. And Dan the Creator is actually goated. I I don't think I've than this guy. But point is, this video got 856,000 views. I recreated that
[03:08] video with a different title and a different approach with a very similar style of thumbnail. And in four months, I got 784,000 views. Now, the actual content and what was in the video was completely
[03:20] different, but I packaged it based on a competitor's winning video, right? A winning blueprint. So, what I did after uploading that video is I went on winning formula, another winning
[03:32] to beat the new YouTube algorithm. This is a video I posted 2 months ago and it has 103,000 views. Now, if we search up that title on YouTube, you can see that very similar, right? The thumbnails, it's it's ridiculous. Now, they're all
[03:47] different in their own way. Now, I posted this uh 2 months ago, and I got the idea for this video and the packaging because of again Dan the Creator. 11 months ago, he posted this video title, very similar that got
[03:59] 273,000 views in 11 months. So, after that, I go and find another YouTube repeat that process. Right? That is what you have to do after uploading every It doesn't have to be the most entertaining. I mean, obviously, you
[04:13] just want it to meet the bare minimum requirements of what the audience in to you when when you're first starting a YouTube channel or if you've been doing results, the packaging is the most important part. And everything that you
[04:28] should be based on the thumbnail and the title, right? You got to have that video. Because, you know, like if I open up my Google Docs, I've gotten a lot of video ideas that are completely original and I just haven't recorded them because
[04:42] going to look like. I can't think of what the actual title is going to be. In these Google Docs, I just kind of start writing some notes, things that come to know, because I don't want to waste an upload. I don't want to waste a day.
[04:54] Every time I create a video, it costs me money and it costs me time. So, before I be getting consistent views, which technically on this channel I am already. But this strategy is working, so I'm not going to change it. And this
[05:06] Faceless channels. So, this doesn't come down to a secret setting that you have before posting a video. That's not what it is. You just have to identify who and you have to recreate what they did, but in your own way. Now, that's the
[05:20] channel as an example, but I'm going to go more into into detail. Now, I have a how to start automation channels and I essentially take them step by step on worked with thousands of people and their channels. Link is going to be in
[05:35] pin comment if you want to check that out. But something I noticed that a lot of people failed in was doubling down on something that works. Let me explain. Something I I've always done on this channel is is tell people, "Hey, if you
[05:47] start in the celebrity news niche." A lot of people did, but there was an issue. Now, here's an example of why so many people failed. Now, you might not niche, but this still applies to you, right? You want to know this just in
[05:59] case you can apply it because it might be the only thing you needed to do all celebrity news YouTube channel and one day Leonardo DiCaprio is trending. You post a video and it does well. The next day, Young Thug is trending, so you post
[06:13] a video and it does [ __ ] The next day, a K-pop band is trending. You post a they would get stuck in this cycle of chasing trends, right? And then they fuck?" You know, Romero said, "If I posted videos on trendy topics, it would
[06:29] work. Well, that's because you lost sight of the bigger picture, which is the audience, right? That comes back to ideiation, the audience of your channel and what was performing before. So, if your best performing video was about
[06:41] audience that watches that. Think about the person behind the screen that was like? Now, once you have that picture in your head, ask yourself this. Do you you think they give a [ __ ] about K-pop artists? Right? So, so the second that
[06:56] you see a video outperform the rest, everything that is surrounding that is all you're going to post about for the next 15, 30, 40 days because you just found your micro niche. That means you found that specific audience that
[07:10] and now they finally found your channel. So in this example with Leonardo DiCaprio being your best performing video that means that your web of video ideas should revolve around Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon
[07:26] relate to him, right? They they all blew up during the same early 90s or late '9s 2000s. So the audience that cared about Leonardo DiCaprio is most likely to care about Ben Affleck, not Young Thug. So
[07:39] that's kind of what it all comes down to, right? And as for the video quality in itself, at least automation, you just need Chad GBT, 11 Labs, and Vid IQ. to make it clear. This is all based from experience, right? I could be completely
[07:53] different channels. But anyways, if you're someone that wants to start you what's inside of my school community. But for those of you that watching. Leave a like and subscribe to the channel, and I'll see you guys next
