Imagine making $326,000 a year from a YouTube channel, all thanks to AI, without ever showing your face. Sounds unreal, right? But it's happening. Let me pull back the curtain and show you how it's done. 🧵

30 days ago, I started a faceless YouTube channel from scratch. Today: 565K views, 356 subscribers, 1.7K watch hours. I'm documenting everything publicly. Here's what's working (and what's not) 🧵 The stats (last 28 days): Views: 565K (+378% growth) Subscribers: +288 (+372% growth) Watch time: 1.7K hours (+556% growth) Videos posted: 30 Not an overnight success. Just consistent execution. What I learned this week that CHANGED my retention: Start with human reaction (hooks viewers instantly) Fast editing = no dead space Commentary needs to be quick & punchy My avg retention jumped from 82% to 144% after applying this. The uncomfortable truth: Most people overthink and never start. I spent 30 days posting daily. Some videos flopped. Some went viral (330K views on one short). The algorithm rewards consistency over perfection. Why I'm sharing this publicly: I'm building this channel in real-time. No BS. No fake guru tactics. Just raw numbers, lessons learned, and what actually works. Follow along if you want to see a faceless channel grow from 0 → 10k Tomorrow: I'll break down my editing workflow and how I'm cranking out 1 video/day. Reply with "FOLLOWING" if you want me to keep posting these updates. Let's build together. 🚀

I made my 2nd sale today. After 6 months of teaching myself to code at midnight. This is everything I learned about not giving up. Here's a deeply emotional, storytelling post based on your real journey: Title: I made my 2nd sale today. After 6 months of teaching myself to code at midnight. This is everything I learned about not giving up. It's 11:47 PM right now. I just got the Paddle notification. "New subscription: $35.00" My second customer. I know that sounds pathetic. Six months of work for $72/month. But I'm sitting here at my desk, and I'm crying. Not because of the money. Because someone else believed in what I built. Let me tell you how I got here. March 2024: The Idea I was sitting in traffic. Again. Forty-five minutes to get home from a job that already took 13 hours of my day. I kept seeing videos on YouTube. "I make $10K/month with faceless YouTube channels." "Quit my job doing YouTube automation." "Passive income while you sleep." I thought: I could do that. I got home. Made dinner. Opened my laptop. Started researching faceless channels. Everyone made it sound easy. Pick a niche. Make videos. Post daily. Get monetized. Profit. What they don't tell you: Each video takes 4-6 hours to make. I tried anyway. Week 1: Excited. Made 2 videos. Stayed up until 3 AM. Posted them. Got 47 views total. Week 2: Exhausted. Made 1 video. Fell asleep at my desk. Week 3: Burned out. Couldn't do it anymore. I was working 13 hours, coming home, editing until 2 AM, waking up at 6 AM, repeating. My body gave up before my dream did. That's when I realized: I don't need to work harder. I need to work smarter. What if I could automate this? April 2024: Learning to Code (Badly) I am not a developer. I'd never written code. I didn't know what Python was. I thought API stood for "A Programming Interface." But I opened ChatGPT and typed: "How do I build a video generator?" It gave me code. I copy-pasted it into VS Code. Pressed run. Error messages in red. Everywhere. ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ffmpeg' What the hell is ffmpeg? I Googled it. Found a 40-minute YouTube tutorial. Watched it. Still didn't understand. Watched another one. 3 hours later, I fixed one error. Got seven new ones. This became my life: Come home at 8 PM Eat dinner in 10 minutes Code until midnight Wake up at 6 AM Repeat I'd send error messages to Claude at 1 AM. "Why isn't this working?" Claude would explain. I'd fix it. Break something else. I read blog posts about video processing. I watched tutorials on FFmpeg. I learned what APIs were. I learned what webhooks meant. I learned by breaking things and Googling the errors. My wife asked me: "When are you going to bed?" "Soon. Just fixing one more thing." I said that every night for four months. August 2024: I Lost Everything Month 4. I was finally getting somewhere. The tool was working. It could generate simple videos. Then I made a mistake. I was cleaning up my database. Deleting test data. I clicked the wrong button. Deleted everything. Every line of code. Every integration. Every feature I'd built at 2 AM. Gone. I sat there staring at my empty repository. It was 1:30 AM. I had work in 6 hours. I put my head down on my desk and cried. Six months later, I'm not embarrassed to admit that. I cried because I'd given up sleep. I'd given up time with my family. I'd given up my sanity. For nothing. August 2024: Starting Over I wanted to quit. I really did. But then I thought about my 9-5. The traffic. The meetings. The feeling of being stuck. I thought about my dream. Financial freedom. Working from home. Taking my family on vacation without checking my bank account first. I thought: I already lost 4 months. What's 2 more? So I started over. But this time, I built it better. I added Sora. The AI video model everyone was talking about. I added Veo. Google's new video generator. I added Wan. Another AI model for different styles. I added celebrity voice cloning. So the videos sound professional, engaging, real. I automated everything. Topic → script → video → voiceover → captions → music → export. 60 seconds. One minute to create what used to take me 4 hours. September 2024: Testing It on Myself Before I sold it to anyone, I needed proof it worked. I started my own faceless YouTube channel. True crime stories. My niche. I used my tool to create every video. Video 1: 89 views Video 2: 124 views Video 3: 201 views Video 4: 340 views Video 5: 1,847 views Then video 6 hit. 78,000 views. I woke up, checked my phone, and nearly dropped it. The video I made in 60 seconds—while eating dinner—had gone viral. I posted every day after that. 10 videos. 200,000+ total views. The tool worked. It actually worked. October 2024: Launch Day I built a simple landing page. ViroShorts. I wrote copy that explained what it did. I added a demo video. I set the price: $29/month. I posted on Reddit. Told my story. Shared my channel stats. I waited. Day 1: 47 visitors. 0 sales. Day 2: 83 visitors. 0 sales. Day 3: 124 visitors. 0 sales. I started doubting everything. Maybe people don't need this. Maybe I built something nobody wants. Maybe I wasted 6 months. Day 7: Paddle notification. "New subscription: $32.00" My first customer. I called my wife into the room. "Someone paid. Someone actually paid for something I built." She hugged me. She'd watched me stay up until 2 AM every night for half a year. She knew what this meant. Today: Customer #2 Three weeks later. Tonight. 11:47 PM. "New subscription: $35.00" My second customer. I know this isn't some huge success story. I'm not making $10K/month. I'm making $72/month. But two people—two strangers—looked at what I built and said: "This is worth my money." That means I solved a real problem. Not just for me. For other people. Why I'm Sharing This Because I'm not special. I'm not a developer. I'm not a marketer. I'm not some startup genius. I'm a guy who works 13-hour days and comes home exhausted. A guy who taught himself to code by Googling error messages at midnight. A guy who lost everything and started over. If I can do this, anyone can. What ViroShorts Actually Does: It creates complete faceless YouTube videos in under 60 seconds: AI video generation (Sora, Veo, Wan) Celebrity voice cloning for narration Auto captions, music, editing Export ready to upload I built it because I needed it. Turns out, other people need it too. My Goal Now: I want to get to 10 customers by end of month. Not 100. Not 1,000. Just 10. Ten people who are like me. Working long hours. Dreaming of freedom. Wanting to build a YouTube channel but not having the time. If I can help 10 people post videos every day instead of burning out after 3 weeks, I've succeeded. Then I'll aim for 50. Then 100. One day, I'll quit my job. I'll work from home. I'll have time for my family. I'll have financial security. But today? Today I'm celebrating 2 customers. What I've Learned: Start even if you don't know how. I learned everything as I went. AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude) are like having a teacher at 2 AM. Use them. Every error message is a lesson. Even when it takes 3 hours to understand. Losing everything and rebuilding makes you better. You know what NOT to do. One customer proves you solved a real problem. Two customers proves it wasn't luck. Progress isn't linear. Some days you code for 5 hours and break everything. Other days you fix it in 10 minutes. For Anyone Else Building at Night: If you're working a job that drains you... If you're learning to code from YouTube tutorials... If you're wondering if anyone will care about what you're building... Keep going. I promise you: The person who needs your solution is out there. They're Googling for it right now. They're frustrated with the existing tools. They're willing to pay. You just have to build it and tell them it exists. I'm not successful yet. I'm barely starting. But I'm 2 customers closer to freedom than I was yesterday. The tool is at viroshorts. com. My channel is proof it works. (I'll share analytics if anyone wants to see.) Not here to pitch. Just here to tell you: If a non-developer working 13-hour days can do this, so can you. Questions? Ask me anything: How I taught myself to code (painfully) The tech behind it (I'll explain in simple terms) Growing a faceless YouTube channel from 0 to 200K views Balancing a brutal job with building at night Dealing with imposter syndrome when you have 2 customers I'll answer everyone. It might take me a bit because I need to sleep at some point. But I'll be here.

I just found a YouTube niche where brand NEW channels are getting 3-4 MILLION views in their first 2 weeks. No face. No voice. Just AI. Here's the insane part (and why I'm building ViroShorts): The niche: Prehistoric life documentaries One creator posted only 10 videos. First video: 3 million views in under 2 weeks Another video: 2 million views in 3 weeks Third video: 4 million views in 10 days Brand new channel. Low subscriber count. Videos went viral INSTANTLY. Revenue check: One channel in this niche: - Nearly 3 million views in 28 days - RPM: ~$5 - Earnings: Nearly $15,000 In FOUR WEEKS. From a channel that's only a few months old. This isn't theory. It's happening right now. But here's the problem: Creating ONE video takes: 1. Write the script (ChatGPT) - 30 mins 2. Generate image prompts - 20 mins 3. Create 25-36 images - 1 hour 4. Convert images to video - 1 hour 5. Add sound effects - 30 mins 6. Edit everything together - 1 hour 7. Create thumbnail - 20 mins Total: 4-5 HOURS per video The workflow looks like this: ChatGPT → copy/paste → Leonardo AI → download → Veo/Runway → download → CapCut → edit → export → upload That's SEVEN different tools. Dozens of copy/paste cycles. Hundreds of clicks. For ONE video. This is madness. Other channels in this niche are crushing it: - Multiple channels getting 100K+ views PER video - Not a single channel is struggling with low views - All monetized - All using the same AI workflow The formula works. The problem? It's exhausting to execute. Here's what kills most people: YouTube's algorithm rewards you at video 20-30. Most quit at video 15. Why? Because making 15 videos = 60-75 HOURS of work. That's 2 full work weeks. For MAYBE a shot at success. Most people can't commit to that time. This is EXACTLY why I'm building ViroShorts. Same workflow. Same quality. One platform. Instead of: ChatGPT → Leonardo → Veo → CapCut → YouTube You get: ViroShorts → YouTube One click. 5 minutes. Done. What ViroShorts will automate: ✅ Script generation (real research, not generic) ✅ Image prompt creation (detailed, cinematic) ✅ Image generation (multiple AI models) ✅ Image-to-video conversion ✅ Sound effects (auto-generated per scene) ✅ Video editing (transitions, timing, flow) ✅ Thumbnail creation Everything that takes 5 hours → 5 minutes. The math: Manual process: 5 hours/video With ViroShorts: 5 mins/video If you post 3x/week: - Manual = 15 hours/week - ViroShorts = 15 minutes/week That's 780 hours saved per year. Or 97 full work days. Time = money. Let's talk revenue potential: This prehistoric niche: - $15K/month proven results - Multiple channels succeeding - Low competition (for now) Other niches work too: - Real estate: $14K/month - Scary stories: $5-10K/month - History facts: $3-8K/month The model is proven across niches. Here's what I'm seeing: People WANT to do this. The money is REAL. The process WORKS. But the execution is brutal. 7 tools. 5 hours. Dozens of manual steps. That's the barrier. Remove the barrier → more people succeed. That's ViroShorts. 13/15 Why this matters now: Q4 is here. CPMs are spiking. A $5 RPM niche becomes $8-12 RPM in Q4. That $15K/month? Could become $25K in November-December. But ONLY if you can post consistently. That's where speed wins. 14/15 Current status: I'm deep in development. Testing workflows. Breaking things. Rebuilding better. Goal: Ship beta in 4-6 weeks. Following along? You'll see: - Every struggle - Every breakthrough - Early access when ready Bottom line: There's a brand new niche pulling 3-4M views for new channels. Others are making $15K/month. The process takes 5 hours per video. I'm building it to take 5 minutes. Follow along. This is happening. ViroShorts is coming. 🚀

This feels so good... Viroshorts has started generating Video.. Time to test out the scheduling to YouTube feature now.

Day 4: The sync problem that's breaking my brain Building ViralShorts. Day 4. Today I hit a wall I didn't see coming. The audio won't match the images. Let me explain the problem: My app generates a script. Let's say 10 sentences for a scary story. Then it creates images for each sentence. Then it generates the voiceover. Sounds simple. It's not. Here's what happens: The AI voice says "The old mansion stood on the hill" in 3.2 seconds. But I don't know it's 3.2 seconds until AFTER the audio is created. So, how long do I show the mansion image? 3 seconds? 4 seconds? What if the next sentence takes 6 seconds, but I already moved to the next image? The result? My videos look terrible. Images change too fast or too slow. Nothing syncs. It's unwatchable. Meanwhile, apps like ViralShorts do this perfectly. Their videos flow smoothly. Images transition exactly when the narrator moves to the next scene. What I need: Word-level timestamps. Like knowing the AI says "mansion" at exactly 2.3 seconds. Then I can time everything perfectly. But most text-to-speech APIs don't give me this data. Or they're way more expensive. I've tried: Guessing based on word count (doesn't work) Generating audio first, then timing images (still messy) Different TTS services (same problem) This is the stuff nobody talks about. Everyone shows success. Nobody shows you pulling your hair out over audio sync for 8 hours. Question: Anyone here built something similar? How do you sync narration with visuals? Am I missing something obvious? Still figuring this out. Not giving up. Day 4 of building ViralShorts - an AI app that creates YouTube Shorts automatically

@chrismadden_ It happens often with me.. gotta take anger management classes cz of AI..

@anocodeguy Happens sometimes haha

This has become a habit of mine now, building with AI..

I just watched a creator expose his faceless YouTube channel that made $14,000 in ONE MONTH. Here's what shocked me (and why I'm building my app faster): 🧵 The niche: Gladiator History Total revenue shown: $14,000/month RPM: $7.48 (that's INSANE for YouTube) One video alone: 300K views = $2,815 And get this... he started in APRIL. Here's the monthly breakdown: April: $66 May: $11 July: $15 August: $5,900 Last 28 days: $9,157 That's exponential growth in less than 6 months. From $66 to $9K/month. With a FACELESS channel. His process for EACH video: 1. Google Interesting Gladiator History (2-3) 2. Download as PDFs 3. Feed to ChatGPT with a prompt 4. Generate script from REAL data 5. Use ElevenLabs for voice 6. Edit visuals 7. Post Time per video: Under 2 hours. But here's the kicker: He's not alone. His students are replicating this: - Jason: Got monetized month 1, made $1K month 2 - Brad: 100K views on his 4th upload - Ismo: Monetized in under a month, made $1,700 - Will: 7K views in 3 days (2nd upload) The pattern I'm seeing: ✅ Pick a micro-niche (specific state + real estate) ✅ Use AI for scripts (based on real news) ✅ Use AI for voice (ElevenLabs) ✅ Simple editing (or hire for $20) ✅ Consistency Results: $1K-$14K/month within 3-6 months Now here's why this matters to ME: He's doing this manually. 2 hours per video. Multiple tools. Copy/paste between platforms. Download/upload cycles. What if you could do this in 5 minutes? That's what I'm building. My app will automate: - Script Research - Script generation (using real sources) - AI voiceover generation - Image/video creation - Basic editing/compilation Everything he does in 2 hours → 5 minutes with 1 click. Same quality. 24x faster. Why this works in 2025: - YouTube LOVES consistent uploaders - Algorithm kicks in at video 20-30 - Most people quit at video 15 - Reason? It takes too much time If I can cut production time by 95%, people will actually stick around long enough to see results. The math is simple: His method: 2 hours/video My app: 5 mins/video If he posts 3x/week = 6 hours With my app = 15 minutes That's 5.75 hours saved per week. 23 hours per month. 276 hours per year. Time = money. He made $14K/month doing this manually. Imagine if he could post 2x more because production is 24x faster. $14K could become $28K. Or start 2 channels and make $28K across both. That's the opportunity I'm building for. If you want a faceless YouTube channel but don't have 10+ hours/week to dedicate: Follow my journey. I'm building the tool that makes this possible for anyone. $14K/month is life-changing money. And it shouldn't require 40 hours/week to get there. Let's build.

Day 3 Update Viroshorts: The app finally generated its first video.. I am super excited to share it with you guys.. There is still a lot to improve, but it feels so amazing that all these late nights are finally working.. The app is using Celebrity Voice (can you guess who is it) to generate video. Let me know your views and improvement for the app and video.

Day 3 of building Viroshorts The niches are in.. Faceless videos are all about getting engagement.. The higher the AVD the higher the views.. Let me know if I should anymore niches.

Day 2 of building Viroshort: We have finally incorporated voices.. I am still confused how much voices should be in the app. I have currently 20 Celebrity Voices.. And 100 Popular voices.. Do you guys think this would be enough...

Harsh truth about faceless channels: Most creators quit after 10-15 videos. Why? The algorithm needs 20-30 videos before it promotes your content. That's 100+ hours of work with zero guarantee. Most people break. With this app: 30 videos = 3 hours instead of 150. Suddenly the grind becomes doable. That's the unlock

New feature I'm adding today: "Viral Hook Generator" The app analyzes top-performing videos and creates hooks like: "You won't believe what happened next..." "This story kept me awake for days..." "The truth was hiding in plain sight..." First 3 seconds = everything. The app nails it automatically. Would this feature matter to you?

Creating one faceless YouTube video: WITHOUT this app: → Open ChatGPT for script → Generate images in Midjourney → Create voice in ElevenLabs → Download everything → Edit in CapCut for 2 hours Total time: 5-6 hours WITH with the app i am building: → Click "Generate Video" → Wait 5 minutes Total time: 5 minutes That's a 98.6% time reduction. Now imagine making 20 videos. See the power?

@jonathanbrnd Reply guy to a specific niche or to anyone..

First you start as a reply guy. Then you drop a few bangers. Then you’re the one getting replies. Anyone can do this. Start now!

My app just generated my first AI script: "In 1994, a radio station received a call from someone claiming to be trapped in the past. The call lasted 11 minutes. Then silence. No one ever heard from them again." Time to generate: 10 seconds Time manually: 30+ minutes This is getting real. Want to see the full video when I finish it? Reply YES.

@ammar_nassri Yeah there is to activate full notification of a profile.. i think on 3 dots you might find it after following..😊

@anocodeguy Wait, there's a bell button here somewhere?

Reality check on faceless channels: Top scary stories channel: → 2.3M subscribers → Started 18 months ago → Posts 3 videos/day → Revenue: $50K+/month The problem? Creating 90 videos/month manually is physically impossible. Unless you have a tool that generates them. That's what I'm building. Make sense?

Building an app that auto-generates faceless youtube videos (script, voice, visuals, everything) spent 3 days setting up backend. got audio working with different celebrity-style voices. now stuck on: which niches should i build first? thinking scary stories, history, reddit stories, motivation which one would you actually watch? need honest answer..
