This is what happens when you actually know what you’re doing on YouTube.

Fastest way to kill a faceless channel? Chasing trends with zero unique angle. Do this instead: • Steal the structure, not the topic • Add your own storytelling flavor • Track small channels blowing up before the wave peaks If it’s trending, you’re already late. Picking a niche isn’t random it’s math + psychology. Your niche has to pass 3 filters: High RPM (good $$$) Low/medium competition Workflow you can actually sustain Miss one, and your “automation” will burn you out.

Most creators obsess over improving single videos The smart ones improve entire channels Why? Because YouTube promotes ecosystems, not standalones. CTR, retention, and viewer history lift the whole channel A mediocre video on a strong channel can win. But a masterpiece on a dead channel? Lost Fix the foundation. Not just the upload.

The smartest move I ever made in YouTube automation? Not starting channels Not growing them It was REALIZING the real money is in partnerships. I’ve built multiple faceless channels across niches. But now, when I see a creator stuck at $3-5k/MONTH, I step in Take over scripts, edits, full production & scale it to (((((($10k, $15k+)))))) Some channels blow up alone The best ones? They scale with the right partner.

@noahmorris 100% The obsession with instant results kills more beginners than failure itself Long-term vision + consistency is literally the only cheat code The small daily wins compound way harder than people think

I know this is getting repetitive. But, the more i talk to people the more harmful I realise sharing business results actually are. beginners (in any type of business) scroll here on X or instagram all day. They see people winning (survivorship bias) - and subsequently panic when their first 10 attempts don’t get them to 5-10k a month. Just last month alone I’ve seen dozen people get 100k+ views on their third or fourth video panic because the next videos didn’t get the same results. Truly the only reason I am where I am today is because I kept pushing because I had A - long term vision for my life. B I never look at the clock, I get excited for the little gains every single day. And one day you wake up and you are where you needed to be. And really this is how it goes. Very rarely is it an overnight success story

@noahmorris Timing is everything When a wave of fresh niches drops, you wanna be the first to ride it If you’ve built the skillset, you can spot them early and scale before everyone else catches on.

Pro tip. New niches don’t get created at a constant rate. Sometimes there are period were very little new niches hit the market. And in some periods there are dozens in under a week. Use that to your advantage.

The biggest lie in YouTube automation? “Outsource editing and scripts, then cash checks while you sleep.” Here’s the truth: If you don’t grasp the craft yourself storytelling, pacing, retention triggers your channel will flatline Automation ≠ detachment It’s about building a system you actually know how to drive.

Quantity & length don’t win by themselves. You can post 10 vids a week and still flop, while someone with 2 vids crushes it. What actually wins: scripts that pace like a movie editing that kills boredom every 20–30s viewer experience so tight they have to rewatchConsistency matters, but retention + satisfaction scale harder than volume.

post longer videos than competitors post more videos than competitors pack your videos with dense insights and gems make your free youtube videos better than their paid stuff give away as much value as possible stuff you've heard before tbh but it's all timeless

@grundstromleo But sourcing a full team off Discord is risky Worst editors I’ve ever seen came straight from there.

start a faceless youtube channel. cut your expenses by 90%. save as much cash as possible. source a video team (editor, writer, voice actor, thumbnail designer) from discord. Post 2x videos every week minimum. post longer and denser videos than your competitors. grow your channel to $5K+/mo. build a valuable product that your audience craves. sell it unapologetically. keep growing. keep scaling. 1 faceless channel and a few solid freelancers is all it takes

Glad it helps bro Music deals don’t really have a fixed ‘RPM’ It’s more like brand deals Depends on the label/artist, audience fit, and if it’s per post or flat fee I’ve seen channels pull $500 – $2K for short placements when the demo’s strong, which is way above ad rev Think of it less like ads and more like sponsorships.

@Erany404 Bro this is gold appreciate you I’m new to shorts but figuring it out along the way

Are music deals with shorts still a thing? If so, is 24M views enough to get a deal?

Yep, 24M on NFL content with a US male audience is actually gold Labels care more about the who than just the views If you wanna land deals, don’t wait for them to come pitch yourself Go through distributors like UnitedMasters/DistroKid or even DM indie labels & artists who’d love that demo It’s all about showing how your audience = exposure for their music

@Erany404 It’s NFL content audience is males USA. Do you know how to go about getting deals?

Here’s a retention hack the top 1% of channels rely on (but never break down): It’s all about pacing in the script Open with an emotional hook Cut every 3–5 seconds Use open loops (“What happens next will…” ) Disrupt patterns every 20–30 seconds Delete every ounce of fluff each second must matter Emotion beats logic Always.

@grundstromleo A faceless channel isn’t a side hustle you ‘try’, it’s a system you grow If you don’t treat it like a real brand with feedback loops and consistency, the algo spits you out Longevity comes from discipline, not tricks.

people that make $10K/mo on faceless youtube all have similar habits - every video is saveable, dense, valuable, and worth rewatching - viewer satisfaction is the main metric optimized for - videos are longer and more frequent that competitors - products are built on the backend to address viewer pains and frustrations - scripts, thumbnails, titles, and editing are on-point - videos that flop are analyzed to figure out why you can’t “play” a successful faceless youtube channel You need to treat the channel like it’s a living and breathing organism otherwise it’ll just die this is how you build a channel that lasts for 4+ years

Yellow Icons Always request manual reviews (AI flags are wrong most of the time). Audit titles/thumbnails/descriptions even one “sensitive” word can trigger it. Keep uploads advertiser-friendly: no strong language in the first 30 sec, avoid controversial terms. Algorithm Plateau Normal stage. Every channel hits it. Break it by testing new formats (mix Shorts + Long form). A/B test titles & thumbnails sometimes a simple refresh revives a video. Repurpose old winners with a fresh angle. Mindset Shift Don’t judge growth week to week, YouTube works in waves. Focus on retention more than CTR. Watch time is what the algo values most. Consistency compounds one breakthrough video can lift your whole channel. Bottom line: YouTube punishes short-term thinking. Play long-term, fix ad-suitability basics, and keep experimenting. That’s how you break the stall.

@hitimobas Welcome to the YouTube casino, please place your bets

YT is such a joke... Posted 2 videos yesterday: In the first one, I perfected every second, used all the viral triggers, yet ended up with 40k views. The second one I posted just because I had nothing else — 3m views and a solid 2 out of 10. Can someone explain this to me?

Everyone’s hyped to launch a faceless channel But 99% never earn a 1$ Here’s the harsh reality nobody shares: Copying viral vids ≠ real growth Cheap Fiverr edits = trash retention No unique hook = forgettable content Weak scripts = audience drops off No clear monetization = fast burnout Want to scale? • Run your channel like a real business • Build a repeatable content pipeline • Prioritize watch time over vanity views • Design thumbnails that spark curiosity • Treat scripts like high-converting copy Scale smart, not sloppy.

Because that’s how YouTube works, bro. Most videos get an initial push in the first 24 – 48h, then the algo decides if it’s worth showing long term. If your CTR + watch time aren’t strong enough, it flatlines. Fix the title, thumbnail, and retention that’s what keeps a video alive after day 2.

@Erany404 @noahmorris Boss! Why does my video flatline after 2 days

I tend to notice that the guys failing tend to be people who think they’re smart but fall over their own feet because they’re constantly overthinking everything. Like they consume such an overload of information that when I ask how many videos they uploaded it’s less than 20 in a 3 month timespan It feels similar to this meme blog post. If you’re so smart - why aren’t you rich - turns out you’re dumb. There’s a moment where people just get it and figure out it just tends to be a numbers game. Reminds me of this meme
