How I'd make $30k a month if I had to start over

A creator walks through how to build a faceless YouTube channel from scratch to $30k a month. The strategy covers picking a niche, producing content with freelancers, and scaling for YouTube monetization based on their own experience.
So in celebration of getting a new iPad pro to make the content better, let's use it to make a video. So here's how to make $30,000 a month with a faceless YouTube channel, or the best way that I found in 2024. So we see people like Mr. Beast who are able to make, like, millions of dollars, billions of dollars off of YouTube. And, you know, here's the thing with faceless YouTube channels is we're able to leverage. Leverage YouTube in a way that allows us to, you know, not have to have a personality, to not have to be somebody, you know, that is. Have to be on camera or anybody that's good at techie stuff. That's the cool thing about faceless YouTube channels. So let's jump into it. How to set one up is you build out a YouTube channel. Just go into YouTube.com and go set up your channel. Pretty straightforward. And what you want to do is you want to pick a niche. So the riches are the. Are in the niches. It's like Warren Buffett says, it's not about how hard you roll your boat. It's about what stream you're on. And so you typically want to pick a solid niche. I have a training down below in the comments to help you pick a strong niche and show you this entire process a little bit more in depth. But typical good niches are something like travel history, any sort of like, sports, like basketball or, you know, football or anything like that. And then also things like, you know, agriculture, I tend to do well. Engineering, luxury or anything that just has, like, kind of like evergreen interest, like celebrity drama and stuff like that. Those are all great niches. You want to pick something that you can kind of make a full produce, full kind of production on. And so here is the production process. So what you want to do to break this down is you want to have a script, a voiceover. You can do a video, and then also the thumbnail for the content. This is all that you need. And the cool thing is you can do it two ways. You can either use. You can use AI to write it, or you can hire a script writer off of platforms that I'm gonna talk about in a second. And then also what you want to do is for the voiceover, you can use, like, a software, like 11 Labs, or you can even hire a voice actor. Typically, that's what I do. I always hire somebody. But I. I do have students that they make, like, two grand a month with, like, different AI softwares and stuff like that. And so for the video part, uh, pretty simple. You can. This one's kind of hard to. This one has a little bit of steep learning curve. You can also with it there is some AI softwares but nothing's really that good yet. I do have a student that I'm making a software with right now. It's doing really well. He's able to make two grand a month with but it's not out to the public. So for the video side of things I would typically recommend hiring a video editor or just figuring out how to edit the videos yourself. Like I said there is a steep learning curve. And then thumbnails. I would typically recommend to do it yourself or hire a thumbnail designer. And so the best place to hire people is to go on places like upwork. This one is actually my favorite. I've hired over 150, 150 freelancers on Upwork. Anybody that says upwork sucks, they probably actually don't know how to use the use the platform to. It's like what it's actually made for and like how to do good job posts. Quick tip. I Recommend Throwing up 5 job posts for any job that you hire and test out different variables and you'll probably get something successful. Also try another platform like Fiverr. This one's a little bit better for kind of short term work. I don't always like using it but it's nice if I have a quick project I need to get done. Usually it's a little bit more pricey side and then you know you can also use like Twitter and looking at like on this platform there's like crazy amounts of editors and script writers. A lot of them follow me too. And then you know also like any sort of like forums or anything like that. There's also I think it's Patty Galloway software. It's called like YT Jobs Co. The only issue with it is it's pretty pricey. I think it's like over. I think it's like $200 a job post. But you can always go look and see who's on there and then just reach out to people manually. So anyways once you go and hire, once you go and hire your production team now ultimately what we're going to do is we're going to produce videos. And what I recommend for beginners getting started is we want to probably do at least probably like 30 videos. We want to try to produce 30 videos for our channel and then go from there. So I After around 30 videos you should be either you should be monetized and making money and typically around like a thousand dollars a month. If you're not making a thousand dollars a month at this point, totally. Okay, maybe you don't understand the audience. Maybe just, you know, you just have a tough time with that channel. I see. Typically if someone starts their second or their third YouTube channel, they go and have a lot of success with it. So go produce 30 videos. If you're not having success, go produce another 30 videos on another channel. So not having success, usually your second or third try, you'll go, you'll have success with it. And it's just without giving you like handheld guidance, which, if you want that, go down to the training down below. There's an option inside of there. It's kind of hard to kind of predict like how well you're going to do. Typically though, my students, within the first 10 videos, people get monetized. We have one guy, he's produced four videos and he's made like $7,000 in his first two weeks. So that's not typical. But it is totally possible if you know what you're doing. So with that being said, go produce videos. And you should be, like I said, around a thousand dollars a month. And then how to scale to 30k a month? This is like the easiest part. Once you have a proof of concept, once you're already getting results. So a lot of it is, is this is gonna sound like the dumbest advice ever. As in because it's so simple, but simple scales complexity fails. So what it is a lot of times is just not producing shitty videos. So I see very far, often like when people have like let's say 30 videos on channel, they'll, they'll usually have some videos with like 100k views, but then they'll also have a bunch of videos with like less than 1,000 views on the channel. And so the main thing is just delete the videos that have less than a thousand views on the channel. You can always re upload them. You can try testing out a new thumbnail, you can always try testing out a new thumbnail and a new title and do that two or three times. But if it's still not having success, you can delete it. If it's a good video, you can always re upload it. And then that'll sometimes get a kind of a different algorithm. You can also, if it's a little bit more gruesome of a topic, or it's kind of like against community guidelines, but kind of clean it up, then re upload it. But if you're not having success just delete the video and then just focus on making banger videos that get over 100,000 views. It's pretty simple. If you've made a video with 100,000 views you know how to do it over and over again. You just need to double down on what's working and you need to study why that video had a lot of success. And typically most people they just keep putting out mediocre content when they know how to make 100,000 view videos. It just takes a little bit extra work just being a little bit more involved in the quality control of everything and kind of systemizing things a little bit better and I see far off to people go and scale to $30,000 a month.
