Starting a Faceless YouTube Business
Matt Par introduces a training program focused on starting a YouTube business without showing your face. The training covers five secrets and updates for 2026, emphasizing that the best YouTube business might not be what people expect due to changes in the landscape. He promises to share an updated approach for running faceless YouTube channels, identifying profitable niches, using AI for content generation, and new monetization methods.
A Different Approach to YouTube
Matt introduces a different approach to YouTube, emphasizing that virality is vanity and focusing on aspects that truly matter for building a sustainable business. He highlights that the most profitable channels don't necessarily need millions of views. This approach is suitable for those looking to scale existing faceless channels, start new ones, or even for personal brand YouTubers and businesses aiming to enhance their YouTube strategy.
My Journey
Matt shares his personal journey, starting YouTube at 14 with a small investment. He felt unfulfilled by the traditional career path and sought an alternative through YouTube. Despite initial struggles with backyard stunt videos, he found success by creating top-five videos with voiceovers, eventually earning $3,000 per month at 15. By 2018, his income grew to $30,000 per month, allowing him to skip college, and by 2026, he earns over $100,000 per month through various YouTube-related income streams.
Secret 1: The Best Online Business
Matt discusses the key factors that make a business beginner-friendly, including marketing costs, sales ease, fulfillment difficulty, upfront costs, profit margins, and passiveness. He contrasts YouTube automation with other online business models like dropshipping, social media marketing agencies, and Amazon FBA, highlighting the shortcomings of these models. He argues that YouTube automation in educational niches is the best online business due to free promotion, multiple monetization streams, digital delivery, high margins, and potential for passive income.
Secret 2: The NEW Way of Doing YouTube
Matt explains that YouTube automation is not a get-rich-quick scheme but a real business requiring effort. He contrasts the traditional way of doing YouTube, which involves filming and editing videos, with faceless YouTube channels. The new way involves running strategic channels with proper monetization, content funnels, and scaling systems. The steps include choosing a profitable money niche, setting up monetization first, using a proven money video script, building a content funnel, scaling with a team, and automating with AI.
Secret 3: Best Niches
Matt reveals the best niches for YouTube in 2026: money, travel, health, relationships, technology, and animals. He advises choosing a subniche within these broad topics for better focus. He shares examples of successful channels in these niches, such as Nick Invests, The Purring Journal, and Cruise Like a Pro, highlighting their monetization strategies and potential earnings. He emphasizes that audiences now care more about value than personality, making it an ideal time to start a faceless channel in an educational niche.
Secret 4: Generating Videos With AI
Matt outlines a system for generating content easily using AI, covering video ideas, scripting, video generation, thumbnails, and uploading/optimizing. He stresses the importance of not reinventing the wheel and using the combination strategy to create new ideas. He recommends using Tube Magic for keyword research and scriptwriting. For video generation, he suggests using screen recordings, AI avatars, or stock footage, and tools like OBS, HeyGen, Infinite Talk, CapCut, and 11 Labs. He also introduces Vid AI for fully automated stock footage and AI visual-based channels.
The NEW Way to Monetize
Matt presents a monetization hierarchy starting with ad revenue, then affiliate marketing, and finally, owning a product or community. He advises aiming for at least $100 per thousand views by selling something from the channel. He shares a strategy for selling without hurting video performance by directing viewers to a money video. He also recommends building an email list to generate recurring income and control the audience outside of YouTube.

He recommends using AI to stay competitive, building trust with an AI character, and focusing on longer content. He also advises avoiding AI slop and ensuring videos provide genuine value. The checklist for 2026 includes posting an ultra-long video, creating an AI avatar, focusing on long-form content, and selling something from the channel.
