How to Start YouTube Automation in 2026 (Step By Step) NO FACE | FREE COURSE

0:00 Welcome to the free training on how to start a YouTube business in 2026 without ever showing your face or stepping in front of a camera. In this training, I'm going to be going over the five secrets as well as some updates for 2026 for doing this the right way because the best YouTube business that is out there is probably not the one that you think. And a lot of things have changed in this process. So, I want to show you an updated way of doing this in 2026. And I'm going to show you the new way of running YouTube channels where you never have to show your face or step in front of a camera that can potentially become really huge businesses. I'm also going to show you the absolute best niches that are crushing it right now in 2026 in secret 4. Then I'm going to show you the new way of generating content super

0:45 easily. Again, it doesn't require you to get in front of a camera. You can use AI. And a lot of people right now are concerned about AI commoditizing things and they wonder how am I going to be able to succeed on YouTube if anyone can just generate these AI videos. And I'm going to show you exactly how you can do that and some secrets on how you can avoid your channel ever becoming commoditized. And nobody's doing this. Nobody talks about doing YouTube in this way. So I want to show you what I'm personally doing right now with all of my different YouTube channels and what you can do as well. I'm also going to show you how you can monetize in a brand new way which is going to be incredibly valuable. And then, like I said, some 2026 updates for this because a lot of things have changed throughout my past 12 years on YouTube that I think you should really know about if you're going to be doing this. So, that being said, let's get straight into it. My name is Matt Par. I've been doing YouTube, like

1:31 I said, for the past 12 years. And I've grown tons of channels to millions of subscribers, and I've helped tons of people do the same as well. But all that being said, I do need to give the disclaimer that my results are not typical. You probably will not make $10 million like I have. you probably will not become super rich just by watching this video. I do have to be upfront about that. But that being said, what I can guarantee is I'm going to show you exactly what I'm personally doing right now and all of my most successful students are doing so you can have the best information that you can possibly get for doing this. And this is going to be potentially life-changing if you implement this information the right way. And today I'm going to show you a slightly different approach for doing YouTube that most creators and most people on the platform completely

2:16 ignore. And that approach is summed up by virality is vanity. Things like this play button right here do not matter in the least. Subscribers don't matter. Views don't matter. So you might be asking, well Matt, what does matter then on YouTube? And I see some questions here in the chat. We're going to be doing a Q&A, by the way, at the end of this. So feel free to save any questions you have for the Q&A and I'll be more than happy to answer all of these right here. So that being said, let's get into what is really interesting right now in 2026, which is that some of the most profitable YouTube channels right now this year are probably not the ones that you might think. You don't need millions of views to build a real business on YouTube right now. So who is this for?

3:03 This is for if you currently run a faceless YouTube channel that you want to scale or possibly start more channels and you just want to know what are the best niches right now in 2026. This is also for people who are interested in starting a faceless channel. Maybe they want to start a YouTube channel but they don't necessarily want to step in front of a camera and do everything that goes into that. This is for you as well. This is also for personal brand YouTubers. If you have a personal channel like I personally do with my channel, Make Moneym Matt, and you'd or you'd like to start a personal channel, then these tactics will not only work for you, but any type of channel on YouTube, these tactics work for. And it blows my mind that more YouTube channels are not doing these tactics because I'm going to show you the secret that how I'm blowing up all of my channels, including my

3:48 personal channel to over 900,000 subscribers, including all of my faceless channels to millions of subscribers. and more importantly than that, how I've made over $10 million from all of these channels. This is also for businesses who want to turbocharge what they're doing with YouTube. Now, I don't want to go over my journey for too long here. I just want to do a quick one minute recap of it because I know a lot of people here might already know who I am and they might already know what I've done. But basically, I started YouTube when I was 14 years old. I had a couple hundred dollar saved up from selling Pop-Tarts at school. And I kind of had an existential crisis at this age as well where I was terrified of going down the traditional path of going to school, going to college, getting a 9 toive job, and then maybe retiring when I'm 65 years old, not even

4:35 guaranteed. And I felt broken, and I felt like I was meant for something more in this world, but I just didn't know what that was. And at the time, I did try starting several YouTube channels. I would do like backyard stunts with my friends and stuff like that and we'd upload videos and they would get barely any views. I'd be lucky if a video got 50 or 100 views, but I saw people online, you know, living their dream lives from YouTube, being able to travel the world and do what they'd like with their time. So, I knew it was possible. I just didn't know exactly how. And the turning point for me was when I discovered a simple top five video with millions of views. And it was a video just like this one right here, the five strongest signs of aliens and alien life. and it had millions of views on it. And it was literally just a voice over and the video. And I thought

5:21 to myself, you know what? I could potentially do this. I'm not the most charismatic person in the world. I can't be a daily vlogger, you know? I can't be like all these other people that I saw succeeding on YouTube, but I could do this from my parents' basement, from my room. I could potentially do this. So, I took my really crappy, broken phone at the time, and I started recording voiceovers. I would actually lower the pitch on them as well because my voice was so high at the time to sound a little bit older and make it sound a little bit more legit. I would edit the videos together on my really bad laptop as well that could barely even run an editing program. And I started making these videos every single day on the platform. Now, this is skipping over a lot, but essentially by 2015, this was about a year into doing this, I reached

6:07 a point of making about $3,000 per month from my YouTube channel at 15 years old. And the way I got to this point was I uploaded a lot of videos on the channel. Eventually, I had a turning point where a video got over a 100,000 views and I was like, "Wow, I can actually do this." Now, I'm going to actually share with you what that secret was a little bit later in this training as well. But essentially, I then found out about the YouTube partner program where you can put ads on your videos and make money from ads. I'd actually get my parents help for signing up for that. And I got ads turned on on the channel and it was like flipping a light switch. I went from making zero money. I've made almost nothing in my entire life to making $3,000 per month. That was life-changing to me at the time. And I was doing so many things wrong that I'm going to show you how to do it the right way here today. By 2018, then this is when I

6:52 graduated high school. I grew my income to making around $30,000 per month, which allowed me to skip going down the traditional path of going to college and doing everything related to that. And now in 2026, I make over $100,000 per month with YouTube through multiple different income streams and strategies and everything else. And across all of my businesses related to YouTube, we do $3 to $500,000 per month. Now, I do have to give a disclaimer. Anytime I talk about my own results or any of my students results or anything like that, I do have to give the disclaimer that these are not typical and I cannot promise you'll do the same. But it's safe to say that YouTube has completely transformed my life in more ways than I can even tell you. It YouTube has given me an absolutely incredible life. I was able to, for example, last year in 2025,

7:39 I brought my parents to both Thailand and Dubai. I flew them first class on a Emirates flight to Dubai and then going to Thailand. I also got them a world-class cruise that they were able to go on. I've been able to dive in submarines, which is a lifelong dream that I've always been wanting to do my entire life. That came true. All of these things. I've met so many friends because of YouTube. I've been blessed enough to got the opportunity to help so many people with this as well. For example, this is Kunal right here. He's making over $50,000 a month from his channel. He was running a family business essentially that he absolutely hated and despised. And now he's got his whole family helping him with his YouTube channels as well. And he's absolutely crushing it on YouTube. Again, none of these results are typical. Don't expect to do millions or anything like that. But I've made so

8:25 many friends. This is a PM and I. He's actually my lead developer for my software companies that I have. Then he's helped coded them. This was us in India at the Taj Mahal right here. Here's my parents on a first class flight. And if it wasn't for YouTube, I would be sitting in a college classroom right now. That's just really what I want to stress with this. And I don't want to, you know, be one of those people who's like, "Never go to college no matter what." There's nothing wrong with the traditional path, but it just wasn't for me. And if you're here on this training right now, that traditional path might not be for you either. So, let's go over what is, in my opinion, the best online business right now in 2026. And to do this, we first need to understand what actually makes a good beginner or advancedfriendly business. And I say, yeah, I was just

9:11 covering up the text right there. I'll move myself out of the way right there. So, let's get into secret number one, which is the best YouTube business, which is probably not what you think. So, there are six key factors that I like to look at when I'm evaluating if a business is beginner friendly or not. Starting with marketing, sales, and fulfillment. These are the three main factors that make up pretty much any business on Earth. Marketing is the cost to acquire customers. Sales is the ease of then converting those prospects to customers. And fulfillment is the difficulty of delivering your product or your service. And then you also have three additional factors such as upfront costs, which is the initial investment required. Profit margins, which is how much you keep after expenses. This is super important. So many businesses out

9:58 there, you might make a lot of gross revenue, but what does it matter if you're not keeping anything? And then passiveness, which is your ability to potentially keep earning without constantly working. So, here's where most online business models fall short. Most online business models, for example, drop shipping have super high ad costs, poor profit margins, and you have to constantly test new products. Then you have business models like social media marketing agencies where you might run a company social media. Those are very difficult to get clients. Basically creates another nineto-ive job for you and it's not passive at all. And then you have Amazon FBA. You have to put thousands of dollars into inventory risk. You need dozens, if not hundreds of sales per month. Plus, it's basically a race to

10:43 the bottom. Whoever has the cheapest price with things like drop shipping or Amazon FBA are the one that's going to win. And the cheapest price by definition means the least amount of profit. So, each of these models fills on multiple critical factors that make a business truly beginnerfriendly and sustainable in my opinion. Now, you might be saying, "Okay, Matt, you're just saying these things because you're biased. You know, you've been doing YouTube for a long time." And I fully admit I am. There are people who make millions of dollars with every single business model out there. But looking at all of these, honestly, I honestly do not believe that these are ideal business models. Whereas, when you compare that against running YouTube automation niche channels in educational niches, which I'm going to explain to you what I mean by all that in just a second. Basically, you let YouTube promote your content for free. You're

11:30 not paying for ads. You're not paying for anything else. And you have multiple monetization streams from the first day you start your channel with completely digital delivery. So, you don't have to be fulfilling products, sending out products out when people buy them and everything else. Also, you literally just need a YouTube account to get started, meaning that you have very high margins and your videos can potentially earn money for years after you upload them. So, they can potentially be super passive. I still make money from videos that I uploaded back when I was 14 years old. What other business model is that potentially possible in? And I think YouTube is only going to grow over the next 10 years, but only for the people who are doing things the right way because AI is changing a lot. So, the only business model that scores on all six of those factors is YouTube

12:15 automation if you do it the right way. And so many people are doing it the wrong way and focusing on the wrong things when it comes to doing this. Now, here's just a little bit about my credibility. why you should listen to me. I've been doing YouTube for the past decade. I built over a dozen different successful faceless channels. I've helped over 11,000 people do this themselves as well. We have countless case studies and I've helped so many people absolutely change their lives with YouTube. All credit goes to them for actually doing it and putting in the work and everything else. But my tactics work and I'm going to share with you some that you're not going to see anywhere else out there on the internet. So, I've generated millions of revenue, got a millions of subscribers across my channel. I've made multiple different AI software as well, including Tube Magic, Invidi. These were basically software that I really wanted for myself, so I made it. Then we allowed anybody else to

13:01 sign up for them if they wanted to as well. So then it's a win-win. I can fund the companies, grow them, and everything else. And as a bonus and as an incentive for sticking with me to the end of this, just to incentivize it as much as possible, I wanted to give you a completely free gift. I'm going to give you a checklist and the SOPs that we're going to be going over throughout this training right here. as well as a replay to this training which is going to be on this actual checklist. And the only way to get that replay and to also get the checklist and the SOPs is to stick with me until the end. I just want to incentivize it as much as possible. But just know that it is in your best interest because I'm going to be giving you so much valuable information as well. Plus, I'm going to also give you some 2026 updates and things you need to know about doing this in 2026 because a

13:47 lot of things have changed and I want to show you what's changed and how you can take advantage of that. Also, I'm going to be giving you a completely free trial to Tube Magic, which is my AI software, because I will talk about it several times during this training. So, instead of just talking about it, I want to give you the opportunity to use it for completely free if you'd like. So, now let's get into secret number two. Now that you know the absolute best business model out there, which is the new way of doing this business model in 2026. So, what is YouTube automation in the first place? A lot of people assume and so many different, you know, get-richqu scheme people out there, you know, on YouTube and on ads and so many other places, they talk about YouTube automation is just pushing a button and you make money. They're telling you that because they're trying to sell you

14:33 courses. They're trying to get you in part of their programs and everything else. YouTube automation is not a get-richqu scheme. It's not a push button and everything's just done automatically. It does require effort. This is a real business and real businesses do require effort, but hardly anybody knows how to do it the right way. However, there is such a thing as realistic automation. When you get things set up, you can automate certain things way more than the traditional way of doing YouTube. So, let's talk about that. With the traditional way of doing YouTube, you get behind a camera, you film videos, and you have to edit the videos. And there's nothing wrong with that way. As mentioned, I have a personal YouTube channel as well that does incredibly good, and it's made me millions and millions of dollars. But that being said, it's a lot of work

15:19 going into that. Anybody who's done this knows that it can be very draining running a channel like that. There's a reason I don't upload on my personal channel as much as I do on all of my Faceless channels. That's because of the amount of work that goes into it. So, that's the traditional way. Nothing wrong with it. The tactics I'm going to show you will work for traditional channels as well, but that's the way that most people think about when they think about being a YouTuber. Then you have faceless YouTube channels where no cameras required, but most faceless channels do not make much money because they don't know how to run a channel the right way. They're running channels in the wrong niches on the wrong subjects which don't allow them to monetize properly. And then you have the new way, which is running strategic channels with proper monetization, content funnels,

16:04 and scaling systems. You might be wondering, what do any of those things even mean? I'm going to explain it to you right now. So, here's an overview of how this works. Step one is to choose what I consider to be a profitable money niche. Now, money niche is a niche that you can monetize from the first day that you start your channel. And I'll explain to you what I mean by that. Step two then is to set up your monetization first instead of waiting. Don't wait to get 4,000 hours of watch time and 1,000 subscribers like most people have to do when it comes to doing YouTube. You actually don't need to do that. And I'll explain to you in a second. And no, I do not mean buying a YouTube channel or anything else like that. That's just going to get you banned. And I see so many scammy YouTube gurus who are pushing these black hat methods that are just going to get channels banned. Maybe it works in the short term, but it won't long term. I want to show you the real

16:51 way of doing this in just a second. And then step three is using a proven money video, using a proven script that I can just give you that script and essentially you'll follow it and you make a super long video on your channel that then you build a content funnel too. And that's step number four right here. This is the secret to growing on YouTube like crazy. Nobody else talks about this. The amount of channels that don't do this that would be benefited like crazy if they did is enormous. So, I'm going to show you that as well. And then step number five is to then scale with a team and multiple different channels. And this is how you're going to scale to the moon. You can scale to as many channels as you want as long as you have a team that's outsourced doing it for you. This is the way that you can

17:38 scale beyond just one channel and diversify your content holdings so that you aren't just having all your eggs in one basket. And then step six is to automate and optimize for maximum profit using AI. and I'm going to show you how to do it the right way without getting your channel banned and without facing any of the pitfalls that most AI channels have to face. So, the old way of doing YouTube was choosing a random entertainment niche and making top 10 videos about it. This was the old way of doing YouTube automation. And this is the way that I personally started and I got to be pretty successful doing this. In fact, all of my YouTube channels that have gotten millions of subscribers and everything else, these are channels where I was doing it in this method, creating videos just like these. And while you can get a lot of views

18:23 doing this, while I got to the point of making $30,000 a month doing this, there are some downsides with it as well, including that it takes millions of views to make any sizable money. Also, you have to wait to get monetized. And you'll realize that all of the channels that make videos like these are bad niches. And when ad rates fluctuate, it'll make you realize that business like this is not sustainable. If you're completely relying on ad revenue on YouTube, you do not have a sustainable business. There is a far better way of doing YouTube, which I want to show you, which is the new way of doing YouTube automation, like this channel right here. And the new way allows you to monetize immediately where you choose a money niche that'll make it a lot easier

19:10 to grow as well. And then when you do grow, you can make a lot more money as you're growing as well. And you can use AI the right way, not just generating slop, but in a way that actually provides a lot of value to people and you get paid for the amount of value that you give from your channels. So you can use AI the right way for doing this. Plus, you can have a portfolio of channels that all feed each other instead of just one random entertainment channel and then another random entertainment channel and then something happens to that channel. That's the wrong way of going about doing YouTube. I'm going to show you a much better way. Right now, you might be saying, "Okay, Matt, that's great, but what niches are actually working right now in 2026, and which niche should I potentially start in?" I'm going to be showing you those niches in just a second. But first, you

19:56 need to understand the secret to structuring your channel correctly to actually succeed with YouTube automation right now. And that secret is something that I like to call the symbiotic system. And how it works is essentially you upload a collection of videos in your niche and then all of these videos funnel views to a single money video. and your money video follows a specific conversion script. And basically the way that you're funneling that traffic to that money video is you just simply put links in the descriptions of all your other videos as well as putting end screens on all of your other videos. So after they watch your video, they get redirected to that money video. Now, your money video is a super long video. And this is a secret that nobody talks about on YouTube, which is that the most

20:42 important metric on YouTube is not views. It's not subscribers. It's not even watch time. It's something called session time, which is how long somebody spends on YouTube after watching one of your videos. And the majority of people, they focus on getting the view, which is important. It's important to have a good thumbnail and everything else and get people to click. But what's way more important is what people do the next hour after watching your videos. Do you, for example, get people onto your video and then send people off to something because you think, "Oh, the way I'm going to make money is by doing affiliate marketing or selling a product, so I'm going to send people off of YouTube." That's the wrong way of going about doing this because when you send people off of YouTube, you are basically losing that view and you're losing that viewer and YouTube's going

21:27 to punish you because you're sending people off of the platform. So, how do you keep people on YouTube while still benefiting by being able to, for example, sell things with your channel and everything else and being able to monetize? Well, I'll go over that in just a second. I'm going to go over that in the secret when we talk about how to monetize like crazy with this method. However, if you do this method of keeping people on YouTube and sending them to a super long video on your channel, that will turn one view into two views, which is nice. But what's incredible about this is that it increases your session time like crazy while also benefiting your channel because you're keeping people on your channel. So you have a plan and an actual strategy unlike most channels on YouTube for what people are going to do the next hour after they watch one of

22:14 your videos. You might be saying, "Okay, Matt, but what do I do this one hour video about? Is this going to be applicable to my channel?" It's applicable to any channel on YouTube, whether it's an entertainment channel, an educational channel, literally any channel on YouTube will benefit from having a symbiotic system. And it blows my mind that more channels do not do this. So, this is the secret to growing like crazy. And now, here's the money math that changes everything. So, with traditional YouTube ad revenue, which is how I started making money off the platform, all of my entertainment channels, this is how they made money. I was making about3 to$10 per thousand views. In the majority of niches, this is about how much you can expect to make. And in order to make a $100,000 a month, I would need 10 million views per

23:01 month from those channels. And you might be saying, "Okay, Matt, I don't need to make a h 100,000 a month. I'd be fine with, you know, 5,000, 10,000 a month." I'm just showing you this example to really stress how amazing it is doing things the new way. So, the new way is monetizing your channel the day that you started, focusing on monetization first. And that means having an educational niche with a product that you sell where you can make $100 to $1,000 per thousand views. Meaning, you only need a h 100,000 to a million monthly views for $100,000 a month. And that is a lot easier to get than 10 million views per month. So, you might be saying, "Okay, Matt, sounds great, but didn't you just say don't

23:47 sell anything from your channel?" I'm going to explain everything in just a second. And by the way, these are just estimates based on my experience. Everything, everyone, sorry, will be different. You may make nothing at all. This does still take hard work. I do have to be clear about that. But this is the way to run actual great channels, which is brings me rather to the critical choice, which is entertainment channels versus educational channels. And with entertainment channels, you need a lot of views. You don't make much money per view, and it's harder to monetize them effectively. Whereas, if we compare that then with educational channels, you don't need many views. You make a lot of money per view. As we discussed, you make $100 to $1,000 per thousand views, which is unheard of if

24:33 you've ever ran a YouTube channel, and you can monetize immediately. And I consider educational channels to be money channels. So, whenever you hear me talk about money channels, I'm talking about a channel that's educational in nature that teaches people something because they solve real problems, which means higher value, which means you make more money. So, my recommendation is you start educational and then you potentially if you want to run a entertainment channel, you scale to that later. So, you might be saying, "Okay, Matt, but what if I already have a entertainment channel, for example?" If the channel has potential, keep it. If you see other channels getting millions of views in the same exact niche, then know that that channel has potential. Feel free to keep it.

25:18 However, my recommendation is to focus on a money channel first and then use the profits from that money channel to then reinvest into the entertainment channel because entertainment channels often require a lot more time to get to the point where they're making a lot of money. So, it makes a lot of sense in my opinion to focus on the short-term money you can make from a money channel and then reinvest that in the longer term play of an entertainment channel. So, now let's get into secret number three, which are the best niches to do right now in 2026. And then we'll get into secret number four and five, which are going to show you how to generate videos and monetize like crazy. And I'm going to explain what I meant by you can still sell products from your channel without sending people off of YouTube. I know it sounds crazy, but I'll explain

26:04 all of it in a second right here. And so, my criteria for a good niche are niches that have a very high CPM, meaning you're making at least $10 per thousand views. You might be saying, Matt, why do you care about ad revenue CPMs? I thought you said ad revenue doesn't matter at all. The reason is because if you have a high CPM on YouTube, it means that a lot of advertisers are wanting to put ads on your videos. And if a lot of advertisers are wanting to do that, they're doing it because they're making money. So, it stands to reason that if you're within a niche that a lot of advertisers want to put ads on, you can sell something as well. That's my next criteria, which is being able to sell something from your channel and having an audience that is willing to pay for solutions. And also, a topic that can get views forever

26:51 instead of just relying on trending news and trending topics. Trends die, but evergreen topics do not. So, that being said, here are the absolute best niches right now. Money, travel, health, relationships, technology, and animals. These are all niches that have proven demand, high CPMs, and people willing to pay for solutions. Now, instead of just choosing one of these broad topics and just doing, for example, a travel channel and just doing random videos about random guides and then other videos about the best way to pack and everything else, instead my recommendation is to choose a subniche within one of these niches. So, for example, instead of just doing money, do online business, investing, personal

27:36 finance. Instead of just doing travel, do travel tips, do travel packing guides, do destination reviews. Instead of health, you can do fitness, weight loss, natural remedies. Instead of just relationships, you can do dating advice, relationship help. Instead of just technology, you can do software tutorials, tech reviews, and instead of talking about, for example, wild animals, which aren't necessarily going to be something that people have common issues in. instead talk about in the context of pets because people have problems with pets that they want to solve and people really care about their pets and they want their pets to live an amazing life. So that is something that we can definitely help people with. So these are all of the best niches in my opinion and now I want to show you some example channels within these niches

28:21 that are doing incredibly good right now. Starting with this channel called Nick Invests. He does these super simple animated character videos and he uploads pretty often on the channel and gets 1.9 million views per month. These are videos that can literally be generated now with AI. I'm going to show you how in just a second. And he's making 29,000 a month from ad revenue alone based off my estimates. And he could easily sell a community to make triple, even quadruple that. So this is an incredible channel right now. account. He just does videos like, for example, why everything changes after you save $10,000 and just personal finance videos talking about the best fundamentals for investing and saving money and everything else. Here's another channel right here called the

29:08 Purring Journal. And this is a channel in the cat niche, and they get 337,000 views per month. They're an affiliate for a bunch of products. They never show their face. It's literally just stock footage videos that you can find out there online. Again, I'll show you how to make these videos just like this using AI in just a second. and they could easily sell a course from their channel and their potential earnings would be at least 3K a month from ad revenue. 20K from a potential course, 5K plus from affiliates. That's nearly a $30,000 per month business from a channel making videos like 14 things cats hate. Number one might surprise you. 4 million views. Here's another channel in the travel niche. And instead of just doing videos, for example, talking about, you know, different destinations or anything else, this channel called Cruise Like a Pro talks

29:54 about only cruise tips and tricks. And they have only 59 videos on their channel, relatively new channel, getting 489,000 views a month, which would be about 5K a month from AdSense alone. And if they made a simple faceless cruise course, they could quadruple that. And they just make videos like serious cruise ship mistakes that you should never make in your cabin. And these videos do incredibly well for people who want to learn more about going on a cruise. So, it's educational in nature. Here's another channel called Zinny Studio. And this channel just does simple YouTube and AI tips and tricks, making videos like how much YouTube paid me as a faceless channel or how to make faceless YouTube videos using AI. She makes at least 3K a month from AdSense alone. But what's crazy about this channel is that she makes a lot more than that. And I'll show you that in

30:40 just a second. But what's crazy about this channel is that she's an animated character and you can generate these animated characters using AI incredibly easily. But what's really crazy about this channel is that she sells a community which comes with a community and a course from her channel. She has 250 members paying $60 a month, making $15,000 per month from this community right here that she sells from the channel. Here's another channel called Captain Workout. And this channel right here just does super simple animated workout videos that can easily be generated with AI. They get 3.6 million views per month, which would be almost 40 grand a month from ad revenue alone. Not even factoring in they could make triple that if they had a paid community

31:26 or affiliate marketing that they do from their channel. And I actually looked into this channel. And then there's another channel called Yellow Dude that does similar videos as well. And if you go to their website right here, they actually sell guides and courses. And then also they are affiliated with this company called Gravge Gear which sells like workout gear and stuff. So this is a genius move from the business. I believe that Gravgear business is probably running these channels right here. It's an absolutely genius move for their business. So any businesses or companies that are out there on here with me right now can definitely benefit from having a faceless YouTube channel. Here's another channel called the Stoic Journal. And this one just does videos, for example, like Stoic Principles for immediate life transformation. And again, completely faceless videos. They

32:11 get almost half a million views per month, which could be a full-time income from ad revenue alone. And you can make tens of thousands more than that if they're selling a course from their channel. Here's another channel. It's kind of similar to the cruise channel, but this one focused on air travel tips and tricks called Jetet Genius. And just talking about different travel news and also flight tips and secrets that you should know and everything else. probably making about 15,000 a month from AdSense alone. And if they made a simple faceless travel course, they could double that. So, the reason that it is the best time ever in the history that I've seen with running YouTube channels and everything else right now in 2026 for starting a faceless channel is due to the fact that audiences care about value, not personality. And that's proven by that

32:59 channel, Zeni Studio. that's literally just a completely faceless channel with an AI avatar and people trust her enough to pay money for a community. So, it's proven that people care about value instead of just personality and screen recordings and tutorials are dominating now. AI voices are now indistinguishable from human voices as well. There's also less competition in all of these educational niches that I'm showing you right now. While it might be tempting to choose some entertainment niche you're like, "Okay, Matt, but this niche, they're getting millions of views on every single video, what's the purpose of millions of views and, you know, millions of subscribers if you're only making $3,000 a month? You can make substantially more than that from a channel that provides a lot more value to people in an educational niche. Even though

33:45 most creators are chasing that entertainment and viral content, my recommendation is to do the opposite. the educational space is less saturated and the higher barrier to entry is actually a good thing because there's less competition and plus this is one of the most important parts of this is that you have way better monetization options. You can sell digital products that have no shipping or fulfillment costs. There's so many different AI software that you can promote as an affiliate and you can use AI to generate digital products. So now let's get into secret number four which is the new way of generating content easily using AI. And the system is very simple and we can break it down into the following parts. Video ideas, scripting, video generation, thumbnails and uploading and

34:32 optimizing. So let's start with finding video ideas. And the biggest key with this, and this is one of the biggest things that changed the entire trajectory of my entire YouTube journey, which was that I learned to stop trying to reinvent the wheel. When I initially started on YouTube, I would try so many different, you know, new video ideas that I thought this one's going to take off. No, this one's going to take off. And I would try to come up with everything off the top of my mind because I thought it had to be a totally new and original idea to do amazing on YouTube. until one day I basically copied a video that already did incredibly good and my video got more views than the original video within the first few months of uploading it. And over time that video now has over 12 million views because I decided to stop

35:18 reinventing the wheel or trying to at least. So most people just guess what's going to work. This is where most creators go wrong honestly. And as I mentioned, I struggled as a teenager until I redid a video that already worked. got 100,000 views in less than a week and that video over time has gone on to do millions and millions of views. So, how can you do this yourself and do this strategy? Well, there's actually a strategy even better than just copying a video, which is what I like to call the combination strategy. And this is to take two ideas that have already worked and then to combine them into a single idea. And now just to show you a practical example of this as well. If we go to I did a video recently on my channel talking about YouTube niches that are now banned. And I got this idea from this lady here who did a video

36:03 about side hustles that are now legal. So I thought how could I apply this to YouTube and I took an idea that has done incredibly good on my own personal channel which is talking about different YouTube niches and talk about which niches to avoid and which niches to do. And then I combined that with this idea right here talking about side hustles that are illegal by the government and it did incredibly good. This video right here has gotten hundreds of thousands of views because I took a proven concept and I applied it to my niche. And you can do this for almost any niche. You can take concepts that have worked even outside your niche and then combine that with your niche to make brand new ideas that nobody's ever seen before. So, you're getting the benefit of not, you know, copying people's videos word for word, but you can do incredibly well. And this is the absolute best strategy

36:48 that has absolutely changed everything for me. So, my recommendation is making better versions of successful videos. You can also do keyword research as well. As mentioned, I'm giving you access to Tube Magic uh for this for completely free. I'm going to give you access at the end right here. But basically within Tube Magic, you can go to the tools, you can go to the keyword research, and you can search different keywords that you might be thinking about doing a video on, for example, YouTube automation right here. And then you can sort it by a magic score, which will give you the absolute best keywords with the highest search volume and the lowest competition. And what this can allow you to do then is to not just make a video titled YouTube automation step by step. Instead, you can then search that on YouTube, see the top videos that come up, and then recreate those videos off of YouTube. But this can give you

37:34 tons of amazing ideas right here. So, that's how you can find absolute god tier ideas on YouTube. The combination strategy is the absolute best. Now, after you've got your idea, it's time to write your script. And as part of watching this, I could go, you know, on for hours about how to write amazing scripts and give you all my strategies and everything else, but that would take hours. Instead, I would just want to give you access to Tube Magic, which has all of my best information when it comes to writing scripts built completely into that. And if I show you it right here, if you go to new script within Tube Magic, and again, you're getting this for completely free if you stick with me till the end right here. Basically, within Tube Magic, what you can do is you can go ahead and add in context YouTube links of other videos that you are recreating. So that way, it's taking

38:21 all of the best information from all of those videos. And then you can put in a prompt. I recommend just putting in the title of your video. And then what Tube Magic will do is it'll run your idea and all of this context information through our viral hook database, our value loop structure, which is essentially keeping people interested by opening and closing loops throughout your video. Again, I could go over all these tactics for hours, but essentially it uses all the best advanced psychology and everything else to write an absolute god tier script. Plus, it gives you the ability to choose a word count and how long your video is going to be up to 20 minutes long. and it uses Claude as the backend for that right there, which is the absolute best AI script writer. And it'll give you an amazing script. I do always recommend anytime you use AI,

39:07 whether it's my AI or somebody else's, make sure you overlook everything to make sure that it all makes sense before you go ahead and use it. But that's how you can write a script right there. Once you got your script and you've got your video idea, then it's time to actually generate your actual video. And my recommendation is to do what other channels are doing within the niche that you're in. If you're seeing the majority of channels within your niche are doing, for example, screen recordings, then you can use something like OBS, which is completely free. You can also use Hey Genen for AI avatars if you want to be like that channel Zinny Studio. And my recommendation actually is to use something called Infinite Talk. It's something I recently found, which is actually just as good as Hey Genen from what I've seen for doing AI avatars that you can animate it. And I would recommend generating the avatar using

39:53 something like Nano Banana through something like Higsfield or Open Art and then taking that character putting it into either Hey Genen or Infinite Talk. Infinite Talk is a lot cheaper. You can make an AI avatar that way and you can make them talking just like that other channel Nick Invest as well. And then you can create these screen recording videos with an AI avatar popping up. And you can do that. You can also even put the avatar on a green screen background and then key it out right there. And then you can use something like Cap Cut to edit your videos if you're using Windows or Mac. But if you're on Mac, you can also use iMovie, which is free. And then if you're doing a channel that primarily uses stock footage, like channels, for example, like that Cruise Like a Pro channel that we went over, that's primarily using stock footage in the background of their videos, then you

40:40 can get a subscription to Story Blocks, which is like $30 a month. And you can also use something like Capka to then edit those stock videos together and do a voice over with something like 11 Labs. By the way, 11 Labs voiceovers are indistinguishable from humans. I recommend either cloning your own voice. You can also use my voice as well. It's on 11 Labs if you want to use it. I just recommend don't use the voices that 99% of people use on there. Try to use one that's a little bit less frequently used. either my own, you can just search Matt on 11 Labs and find it, or sit down for a few hours and just read random Wikipedia pages, which is what I did, and then clone your own voice based off of that. But then, what about AI video generation? What if you just want AI to do all of this for you? Is that possible? Yes, it actually is with my

41:26 other software called Vid.AI. This will save you thousands on freelancer costs if you'd rather just have AI do everything for you. But there is a big caveat with Vid AI which is that it will only do stock footage and AI visualbased channels. It will not record your screen for you. You know, it will not generate an AI avatar as it stands right now. That's something we might do in the future. So, other types of channels will still require manual editing. But if you're within a niche like any of these channels right here, like the Purring Journal or Cruise Like a Pro or this top travel channel right here or Stoic Journal, all of these channels right here can be done completely using Vid AI. So with Vidai, essentially what you can do is you can just enter your script. I don't recommend using the scripting feature within Vidai because

42:12 it's not going to be as good as something like Tube Magic because this is trained off all of the best YouTube scripts and the best YouTube script writing formulas. So get your script, either write it yourself or go to something like Tube Magic, generate your script, bring it into Vid AI, generate your video, and then you have a full amazing video that can actually do incredibly good on YouTube that YouTube is okay with that you did completely with AI. So that's how you can generate videos right there. And there's other options as well. For example, if you wanted to do a channel where you were doing, for example, whiteboard animation videos, you can use something like Videocribe to do that. There's many different ways of generating videos. And you can also hire freelancer teams as well, which is what I personally do. And

42:57 it's honestly the only way that I could ever be running 12 different channels is having a team making my videos for me. Now, we mentioned Vid AI, which is amazing if you're running those stock footage based or AI visualbased channels where the main focus is on what is actually being talked about in the actual videos. And now, as we mentioned, you do want to have something I like to call a money video. And a money video is going to be what I also like to call a flywheel video. This is the video that's going to not only allow you to make tons of money with YouTube potentially, but it will also allow you to get tons of views because you're keeping people on the platform of YouTube the next hour after they watch any of your videos. So, this is essentially a super long

43:45 video on your channel that follows a specific format that you direct the traffic from all of your other videos to. And this video sells something at the end of it. And if we ever do work together, I can give you my word for word template for that money video. But essentially in it, you just give a ton of value in the video on the direct subject of what your channel is about. For example, if your channel is about cruise tips and tricks, then you would make an ultimate cruise guide essentially. So you might title it something like best cruise guide 2026 step by step for booking the absolute best cruise and having the best cruise of your life. and you go over a whole hour worth of information following a very specific formula and then you sell something at the end of it. And we'll talk about that a little bit more in depth in the monetization secret in just

44:32 a second. But the best way then to systematize your content is to use something called Trello. This allows you to manage your workflows for your channels and it allows you to create multiple different lists so you can keep track of where all of your videos are in the production line of making your videos. And my recommendation is using Upwork to hire freelancers. If you're going to be hiring people individually for this and to hire three people as a test for each position and then if you do work together longterm with those people, then you will just work with the absolute best one out of the test. So you might hire someone, for example, to do a test 30 second edit on a video. If they're really good, then you hire them long term. And if we work together, I can give you script templates for hiring people and everything else. And if we

45:17 work together, you can just get access to my content team as well, and they can basically just make the videos for you. So, now let's talk about what to outsource first. My recommendation is to outsource the things that you absolutely hate the most first. For me, that's video editing. I hate editing videos manually. It's part of the reason I made Vid AI, honestly. But with video editing, you're going to pay anywhere from $50 to $200 per video. With thumbnail creation, it could be $10 to $40 each. For script writing, 10 to 50. For voiceovers, it depends. But as we mentioned, I just recommend using 11 Labs for this. Same thing with thumbnails as well. My recommendation is just to use something like Nano Banana Pro, which is going to give you amazing thumbnails if you know how to prompt it correctly. And you can also just outsource everything to my team where

46:03 we'll just do this all for you. So, if you want to have absolute god tier amazing videos that will do amazing on YouTube, but you don't want to have to edit them all, you know, yourself and everything else, and you don't just want to use AI tools, then you can get access to my team if we do ever want to work together, and they can just handle everything for you. The thumbnails, the video ideation, the actually making the videos, everything else. They can do that all for you where you literally just give them a title and they'll give you a finished video back. So the scaling strategy then for running channels like this is different than you might think of when it comes to doing YouTube. And the scaling strategy is to start with one educational channel which is your main money-making channel. And then if you ever make a second channel or a third or a fourth or a fifth

46:49 channel, instead of just making new channels in new niches that who knows they're if they're going to do well or not, instead you make an entertainment channel in the same niche, but with broader appeal. So for example, if your main channel is about how to make money on YouTube, that's your main educational money channel. Your second channel then could be business success stories talking about famous business people that have lived. This is an entertainment channel, but the audience from that channel is likely all interested in starting a YouTube business themselves. So then you can link via end screens of all those other videos on your second channel to your first channel because they're related and the audience more importantly is related. And then if you make a third channel, you can talk about

47:35 a related subniche. For example, you could do software tutorials or talk about related tools. and all of your other future channels that you start can all drive traffic back to your main channel, all to your main money video, which only lives on this channel right here. And this video will become overpowered due to the fact that you have so many different videos, not even on just one channel, but multiple channels, driving traffic to it, keeping people on the platform, giving you that session time, making it super easy to grow. This is the secret for growing insanely fast on YouTube. Because essentially what you do is you initially get search traction on YouTube and then you redirect that search traffic that you're getting. Even if you just get a very small amount, you

48:20 redirect that to a super long video on your channel. It increases session time as we discussed. YouTube will see that. Even if you just get a tiny amount of views from search, those views will exponentially multiply if you do things the right way and you can grow a giant channel. This is how I've grown all of my channels to huge amounts on YouTube. So, here's a list of some of the tools and workflow that we talked about. As we mentioned, you're going to get Tube Magic 4 completely free just for watching this. Also, some other tools if you wanted to, for example, generate AI visuals for your channels. Cling is really good for that. And my recommendation is using Nano Banana Pro to generate the initial first frame and then use Cling to animate it. It's very cheap. You might be saying, "Okay, isn't Google VO cheaper?" Uh, sorry, not cheaper. Isn't Google VO better? Um, they're about the same in terms of

49:07 quality, but Google VO is significantly more expensive. So, my recommendation is to use Cling if you're going to be doing AI visual videos. And then also for AI avatars, my recommendation is to use Infinite Talk or Hey Genen. It's a little bit more expensive. You can take a look at both of those, but I think Infinite Talk is better and it is cheaper. And then you have either Tube Magic or Claude for script writing. You've got Cap Cut for editing, Vid AI for video generation, and Trello for systematizing your content. Now, as we mentioned, if you don't want to do any of this, and this just sounds super complex, you just want to outsource this to a team that already does this and runs a bunch of my own channels for me, then you can just work with my content team. They'll do all of the work for you. And I'll be getting into how to work with them in just a second. But first, let's get into secret

49:53 number five, which is the new way of monetizing on YouTube. So, let's take a look at what I like to call the monetization hierarchy. And that starts with the bottom, which is the base, which is ad revenue only. Even though I think the absolute best way of monetizing is to sell something from your channel, and I'll get into how to do that without hurting the performance of your channel. Even though I believe that, I do also believe that every single channel out there, even if they're selling something, should have ad revenue coming in as well. And that's the base of your channel. And ad revenue, you can make anywhere from $3 to $25 per thousand views, depending on the niche that you're in and the subjects you talk about. So that's nothing when you compare that

50:39 against the next rung up on the pyramid which is affiliate marketing where you can make $50 to $100 per thousand views and you can make a lot more money without the complexity of having your own product but the absolute pinnacle the apex if you want to make as much money as you possibly can from your channel potentially hundred to $1,000 per thousand views that would mean having your own community or your own product. So, my personal recommendation is to do affiliate marketing for the majority of people due to the fact that it's the easiest to get started with and then eventually scale to having your own products. And this is the reason that most YouTubers stay broke. They rely only on ad revenue and they're giving all of

51:26 their power and everything else to YouTube and they're putting all their eggs in that basket. And if something happens to their ad revenue, they get demonetized, um, or something else bad happens to their channel, they're screwed because they're put all their eggs in that basket. Instead, if you want complete control and maximum profit, it comes from either being an affiliate or even better, having your own products. That is where the millionaires are made on YouTube. So, as much as I recommend selling something from your channel, and we'll get into how to do that the right way, I think every single channel should also have ad revenue coming in. And ad revenue is going to differ a lot for different niches because different niches make different amounts due to the fact that they're just different advertisers targeting different keywords on YouTube. So, for example, some of the biggest

52:12 advertisers on YouTube are companies like Expedia and Apple. Expedia, which videos and which keywords are they going to target? anything related to travel, which makes travel a pretty high RPM or a high CPM niche. What about Apple? They're going to be putting their videos likely on technology related videos. So, let's go over how you can maximize this revenue stream because I do believe that every single channel should try to utilize this fully. And the secret is something that I actually discovered from one of my students, which is the super long- form content hack. So, I was talking with one of my students and he was making $60 per thousand views from super long travel content that was like two to three hour videos similar to this. Wonders of Australia, Wonders of

52:58 Germany, and stuff like this. And these videos right here, they were making 10 times the amount of money than the majority of other travel channels that I saw within my community. And I was like, how in the world are you doing this? And he showed me he's making these super long videos. And this allows him to put a ton of different ad breaks on his videos. At absolute minimum, you should make sure that your videos are at least eight minutes long. But you should also do occasional super long videos on your channel as well. By the way, this is not his channel. This is just an example. I don't want to show his channel. He didn't give me permission for that. However, this method works amazing. You might be saying, "Okay, Matt, but doesn't it take a super long

53:43 time to make videos like that? You know, I don't want to be making three-hour videos for every single video that I do." Well, I actually found a hack that will allow you to make these types of videos with zero additional work on your part. And just in an effort to give you as much value as I possibly can, I want to go over that right here. And that is a strategy called the compilation strategy where you repurpose your own videos combining multiple different videos into an ultimate guide video, a compilation video, a super long video, a best of collection video, something like that. And I've actually done it on my personal channel right here. If I move myself out of the way, I've done so many videos on my channel, like for example, how to get 1,000 subscribers, how to get 4,000 hours of watch time, how to apply for monetization. These were all individual videos that were living on my

54:29 channel that got a lot of collective views. But I thought one day, why don't I just combine a bunch of these videos into a single ultra-ong guide video and do a video like how to get monetized on YouTube complete guide. And that video right there is an hour long and it got over half a million views. So, this is a strategy that you can do every now and then on your channel. Basically, just putting together a bunch of your videos into an ultra-ong compilation video. And this works for any niche, by the way. And then you can repurpose the content that you're already uploading. So, you've already got the videos. Why not make use of them? They can work incredibly well. You can put a lot of ad breaks in on those videos and you will have a super high CPM on those individual videos. But that being said, on the majority of my videos, they're

55:15 around 8 to 12 minutes long. I always try to shoot for at least 8 minutes so I can put multiple ad breaks on the videos. And then there's no cap on how long they can be, but for the majority of my videos, I just try to take the amount of time that it takes to give as much value as I possibly can. And then occasionally you do this method of doing these compilation videos. And these

…
