Today has been about research on faceless video channels. Actually, I just watched a lot of videos. What I noticed is that most of the videos about low-budget handyman hacks, fishing methods, etc. especially from Asia and Eastern Europe are faceless videos. Many of these have hundreds if not thousands of subscribers and views. There are ads running on them and many have their own merchandise associated with them. That tells me that they are making money with them, maybe not a lot, but some is always better than none, right? What it also tells me is that YouTube does not have a problem with these types of channels, or they wouldn’t be running ads on them. Now, there is a caveat here. It’s my understanding that Google will run ads on your videos but not share any revenue with you sometimes. Is that true? I don’t know for sure, but if it is true that’s just nasty. That’s not the point of this email though. The point is that you don’t have to show your face or even speak on the video. Most of these only have music as the audio and rely on sub-titles to get their message across. Anyone with a mobile phone can make videos like these. What you won’t need are fancy cameras, expensive microphones, a website, or a huge following. What you will need is some way of recording a video, some way of uploading that video to YouTube, and to actually keep doing this until you have around 20 videos uploaded. Doing one won’t have any impact. As always, it’s the activity that counts, not the idea or the planning. Prove me wrong, make 20 videos and report back on the results. Regards, P.S. Many people trying to make money online make nothing. Why? If it’s so simple why doesn’t everyone make money? The simple reason is that they do not do enough. They make one video, it doesn’t go viral, so they quit. Often they blame themselves, but it’s really not their fault. Truely. Their subconscious finds ways to sabotage their efforts. You can overcome this, and finally discover how to reach your goals. |
