0:00I'm going to show you how I make $20,000

0:01a month posting faceless YouTube shorts

0:03using Claude AI to do 90% of the work

0:06for me. But before I show you how to do

0:07this, I need to show you why you should

0:08listen to what I'm going to teach you in

0:10this video. First off, I actually do

0:12this business model myself. You can see

0:13this is one of my faceless channels that

0:15just in the last 28 days here has

0:17generated $24,000 and you can see

0:19consistently makes hundreds of dollars

0:21and in the past week has been doing way

0:23better and making thousands of dollars.

0:25We even hit a $2,000 day just a few days

0:27ago. You can also see that if I blow

0:29this up to the past 365 days, this

0:31channel has made me just shy of a

0:33quarter of a million dollars in profit.

0:35And I mean that. I have almost no

0:36expenses on this channel, so this is

0:38pretty much all profit. So all that to

0:40say that I actually know what I'm

0:41talking about and I'm really doing the

0:43business model that I'm teaching you in

0:44this video. So now let's get straight

0:46into it and I'm going to show you

0:47step-by-step how to build a faceless

0:49YouTube shorts channel and use Claude AI

0:50to do a lot of the heavy lifting for

0:52you. First, I need to show you why just

0:54in the past month this has become one of

0:55the biggest opportunities to make money

0:57online and literally no one is talking

0:59about this. There been a huge decline in

1:01the amount of people that are starting

1:02YouTube automation. So right now there

1:04is less competition and less people to

1:07compete with when it comes to posting

1:08faceless videos on YouTube. And I'm not

1:10just saying this randomly, I have real

1:12data to back this up. You can see the

1:13Google Trend search term for people

1:15searching up YouTube automation and

1:17trying to learn YouTube automation is at

1:19one of the lowest points since the end

1:21of 2022 and the beginning of 2023. Got

1:24really popular kind of back here in 2023

1:27and it peaked again in popularity about

1:29halfway through 2025. But ever since

1:31then it has been in a constant decline.

1:33There are less people looking to start

1:36YouTube automation and searching up

1:37YouTube automation coaching than there

1:39have been in the last four years. So

1:41don't let people tell you that YouTube

1:43automation is saturated because it is

1:44actually the lowest competition that it

1:46has been in years. And with that it is

1:48actually easier to go viral right now

1:50because there's a lot less people

1:51posting faceless videos, niches have

1:53less competition, everything is easier.

1:55But there's also been a huge increase

1:57lately in RPMs and how much you can earn

2:00for every thousand views that your

2:02videos get. I'm going to show you an

2:03actual example of that. This is a

2:05YouTube short that I posted about 10

2:07days ago. It's got 17 million views or

2:0916.8 million so far and it's made 3.8k.

2:13That is an insane amount of money for a

2:14YouTube short. You can see if I go to

2:16revenue, the qualified views, so the

2:18views that I actually earn money on is

2:207.9 million views and the RPM on this

2:22video is 42 cents. This is US dollars.

2:25This is not some other currency. This is

2:27a 42 cent US dollar RPM. Meaning for

2:30every thousand views that this video

2:31gets, I earn 42 cents. So, for 7.9

2:34million views, I made 3.2k and I'm now

2:37getting shorts with RPMs like this all

2:39the time. But, here's where this

2:40opportunity gets insane. Claude AI has

2:42made it so easy to automate the content

2:45creation process for making faceless

2:46videos. You can now fully automate

2:48researching videos, coming up with, you

2:50know, video ideas. It is now insanely

2:52easy to just have unlimited proven to go

2:54viral video ideas. And using a few other

2:56AI tools, it is now super easy to edit

2:58YouTube shorts as well. So, you can go

3:00from research to idea to fully edited

3:03posted video and this whole process can

3:05literally take you five to 10 minutes

3:07for one short. So, the combination of

3:08both those things is why this is such an

3:10insane opportunity right now. We have

3:12the lowest competition since 2023 and

3:15it's the easiest it's actually ever been

3:17to make faceless videos. And on top of

3:19that, it's also paying better than it

3:21ever has. So, with all that being said,

3:22let me get into how to actually do this

3:24and build your first profitable faceless

3:26YouTube channel and take advantage of

3:27this insane opportunity. Now, everybody

3:29knows that the niche you do for your

3:30channel is literally the most important

3:32part. If you pick a bad niche from day

3:33one, you will never get views. If you

3:35pick a good niche, you can get hundreds

3:36of millions of views. And I'm not going

3:37to show you 20 different niches and make

3:39you choose. I'm just going to show you

3:41the best niche that I'm seeing more new

3:43channels go viral with as fast as

3:44possible in 2026. This channel right

3:46here just started like two months ago

3:48and they are consistently getting

3:49millions of views on every single video.

3:51Like, here's a video from a week ago,

3:532.7 million views. 2 weeks ago, 8.7

3:55million views. And the niche that

3:56they're doing is literally just the

3:57ranking niche. Everybody knows this

3:59niche. You basically make videos where

4:00you compile a bunch of clips that you

4:02steal from like other platforms like Tik

4:04Tok, Instagram. You compile them and

4:06then you rank them. So you provide your

4:07kind of opinion around which ones are

4:09the funniest or whatever you choose to

4:10rank them on. Chances are you've seen

4:12videos like this. It's one of the most

4:13viral formats on all of YouTube Shorts.

4:15I've personally made hundreds of

4:16thousands of dollars with this so I'm a

4:18little bit biased but I can tell you

4:20confidently that I love this niche

4:21because again, I'm actually doing it

4:23myself and making one to two K a day

4:25with it right now. Here's another really

4:26good channel to look at for inspiration.

4:28They've only posted 245 videos and they

4:30have almost two and a half million

4:32subscribers and they've generated 5.7

4:34billion views. Every video they post

4:36gets millions of views. This one they

4:37posted a week ago has 12 million views

4:39already. Literally just ranking funniest

4:41parkour moments. This is the easiest

4:43content ever to make. So I'm going to

4:44show you exactly how to make these

4:45videos really quickly using AI to do 99%

4:48of the work for you. First off, you need

4:50inspiration channels to kind of take

4:51ideas from and get inspired. So I've

4:53already given you this one, super good

4:55one. Here's another really good one.

4:56Here's another really good channel. You

4:58can look all these up. And if you just

4:59go through their videos and you like a

5:01bunch of them. So just like leave likes,

5:03comments on all these videos, your whole

5:04feed will become ranking content almost

5:07right away. And then you can literally

5:08just scroll shorts and it will just feed

5:10you more and more new ranking channels.

5:12Once you have a bunch of good ranking

5:13channels that you want to replicate and

5:14steal their strategy, this is where we

5:16use Claude to do all the ideation and

5:18research on what videos you should

5:20actually make. to go over to Claude, but

5:22before you can actually use Claude, you

5:24need to add a little extension to it

5:26called VidIQ. And don't worry, this is

5:27completely free. Just go on Google, look

5:29up VidIQ Chrome extension. It's going to

5:31look something like this, VidIQ

5:32extension for YouTube and Instagram.

5:34Again, this is completely free. Just

5:35install it onto your Chrome browser.

5:37Once you have VidIQ installed, just go

5:39to Claude.ai, create a free Claude

5:41account and when you refresh the screen,

5:43you'll see that VidIQ will just appear

5:45here. The Chrome extension just

5:46automatically kind of adds itself to

5:48your Claude. You do need to set it up

5:50though, so you're going to click the

5:51little VidIQ drop down and then go

5:52connect YouTube insights. It'll just

5:54take you to a page like this where you

5:55just have to click authorize. And

5:57literally just like that with one click,

5:58it's done. If I hit the little drop down

6:00now, it shows as connected. So now this

6:01is where it gets insane. You're going to

6:03go to one of your inspiration channels

6:04that you found. I'm going to use this

6:06one as an example because they are

6:07getting hundreds of thousands of views

6:08or millions of views on every video.

6:10They're kind of a newer channel, so it's

6:11going to be a good one to copy. I'm

6:12going to click more and then this little

6:14pop will appear and I'm going to scroll

6:16to the bottom, click share channel, and

6:18then click copy channel ID right down

6:21there. Then you're going to go back to

6:22Claude, you're going to click the little

6:23plus right here, and you're going to

6:25click connectors, and then go to add

6:28from VidIQ for Claude using the new

6:30VidIQ extension we added. And then

6:32you're going to click where it says

6:33competitor breakdown. It will ask you to

6:36paste in that channel ID, so you can

6:37just paste that channel ID that you just

6:39copied and click add prompt. It'll add

6:41this little bubble automatically for you

6:43and then you just hit send. see it's

6:45going to automatically start running and

6:46as it goes, it's just going to ask you

6:48for some permission, so you just click

6:49always allow on pretty much everything

6:51that it asks you. So just let this run.

6:52It's going to take about 5 minutes to do

6:54a full research breakdown for you. So

6:55there you go, it's done. You can see it

6:57gave me this insane report with charts,

6:59analytics, and it shows me all the top

7:01videos from that channel. It shows me

7:03their growth over time. I got a full

7:04chart of all their metrics. And now I

7:06can actually chat with Claude about this

7:09channel. The way I use all this data is

7:11I literally just use this to give me the

7:12best video ideas that I should make

7:14ranking videos about because we all know

7:16that ideas are what make ranking videos

7:18go viral. Channels like Rank Zilla, they

7:20get millions of views on every post.

7:22This one 3 days ago got 22 million

7:24views. It's because his video ideas are

7:26better than everybody else and they're

7:27creative and unique. So just in the same

7:30Claude chat, I will just ask it to give

7:31me a list of viral ranking video topics

7:34based on what has worked best for this

7:35channel. And just like that, it gives me

7:37the exact proven winning video topics

7:39that are the top performers from their

7:40channel that are most likely to go viral

7:43if I copy them. Ranking the most insane

7:44near miss driving moments. These are

7:46such good high performing content ideas.

7:49So, from here just choose one of the

7:50video topics that you really like and

7:51then we're going to go over to this tool

7:53viblo.ai. This is going to automate all

7:54the editing and actually making the

7:56video for you. And the really cool thing

7:57about Viblo is there's actually a 7-day

7:59free trial so you can start using it for

8:017 days, start making videos and growing

8:03your channel without actually having to

8:05pay for anything yet. So, I'll leave the

8:06link to this tool in the description

8:07down below so you can go find it and get

8:09set up. Now, once you're in Viblo,

8:10you're going to see there's a bunch of

8:11different tools in here for a lot of

8:12different niches but the one we want is

8:14this one right here, video ranking. So,

8:16you're just going to click start

8:17ranking. And then right at the top here,

8:18you just enter that video topic that you

8:20picked from Clod. For me, I'm just going

8:22to go with ranking best parkour fails.

8:23Now, you'll notice that this looks super

8:25bad. And if you go look at big ranking

8:26channels, you'll see that their title

8:28formats always look really clean in this

8:30one specific format. It needs to be in

8:32two lines of text, not three, not one,

8:35always two lines of text and it needs to

8:37have colors that break up the key words.

8:40So, the way I do this in Viblo is I'm

8:41just going to hit return and come down a

8:43line about halfway through my text

8:45somewhere about halfway through like

8:47that. And then you need to highlight the

8:49keywords which are the most important

8:50things in the title that make the viewer

8:52instantly understand what their video is

8:54about. For me, the keywords are probably

8:56parkour fails because, you know, ever

8:59and best, those don't add anything to

9:01help the viewer understand what the

9:03video will actually be about. Parkour

9:05fails is the keyword and the real topic

9:08of our video. So, I usually just go with

9:09like red or like a light blue or

9:11something like like that's pretty clean.

9:13I think I actually like a teal is really

9:15good. And now when someone lands on my

9:16video, they see the full title but their

9:18brain just instantly understands what my

9:20video is about. They just see parkour

9:22fails right away. And that helps so that

9:23people don't scroll away from your video

9:25and, you know, make it perform bad. Once

9:26you have the title optimized like this,

9:28you need to actually go rank some clips.

9:30And by far the best way to do this is to

9:32use TikTok because they have such a good

9:33video search engine. So, you're just

9:35just to look up your video topic right

9:37in the search bar. And just like that,

9:38it gave me a bunch of viral clips with

9:39millions of views that I can just use in

9:41my video. For example, this clip right

9:43here has 3.7 million views. You really

9:45only want to use viral clips. That's

9:47really important. You don't want to use

9:48a clip that has like 300 likes because

9:51why would it go viral for you if the

9:53original clip didn't go viral on its

9:55own. So, here's a clip with 3 million

9:56views. I'm going to copy the link of

9:58that clip right here. And then I'm going

9:59to go back into Viblo and scroll down to

10:01my first ranking slot video rank one and

10:04just paste that in and hit send. And

10:06just like that, it downloads the clip

10:07into my ranking video without a

10:09watermark and formats the whole thing so

10:11it looks really good. From here, you

10:12need to add a video title for this

10:14particular clip because you need to know

10:16kind of what each clip is and where it

10:18is on the ranking. So, for example, this

10:19clip has this like crocodile come out of

10:21the water so they just named this

10:23crocodile and they ranked it number two.

10:25So, I'm just going to give my clip a

10:26title that makes sense with it. I'm just

10:27going to call it aura lost. And from

10:29there, I can just repeat this and go

10:31find like four or five more clips and

10:33rank them and just keep adding more

10:35until I have about five ranked. This is

10:38really important. You need to rank the

10:39right number of videos to make sure that

10:41viewers actually want to stick around

10:43and watch the whole thing. If you rank

10:45too many clips, people won't watch the

10:46whole video. And if you don't rank

10:47enough clips, then you're just not

10:49getting enough watch time and your video

10:51is too short. In my experience, what

10:52I've noticed has performed the best is

10:54ranking somewhere between five and seven

10:56clips. That's kind of usually the range.

10:59You never want to go more than seven and

11:00you never want to rank less than five.

11:02Once you've added all the different

11:03clips that you want to rank in your

11:05video, this is the next most important

11:07step is you need to add custom playback

11:10order. You'll see for retention that a

11:11lot of ranking videos won't just rank

11:13like seven, then six, then five and rank

11:16in descending order. They'll rank

11:17randomly. They'll do like two first and

11:19then they'll do like six, you know what

11:21I mean? And then they'll they'll jump

11:22back up and then they'll save one for

11:24last. They'll just kind of like randomly

11:26go through and rank different numbers.

11:28This is kind of a little trick to keep

11:29the viewer engaged cuz they don't really

11:31know what clip is going to be ranked

11:32next, makes it feel less repetitive. So,

11:34all you do is you go to playback order

11:35right here, and you just turn on custom

11:37playback order, and you can actually

11:39just click shuffle, and this will

11:41automatically just rearrange the order

11:43that they play. And you can reorganize

11:45them yourself and manually change them

11:46if you want to. And then from there, you

11:48just scroll down, click generate video,

11:49and you're good to go, and you have a

11:51finished ranking video. Now, from here,

11:52what you need to do is post one to two

11:54YouTube Shorts every single day onto

11:56your channel. You have to be insanely

11:57consistent, and you cannot mess this up.

12:00If you skip days, I can promise you

12:01right now that you will not go viral,

12:03and you will not get good views. This

12:05channel right here that's made me $9,000

12:07in the last 7 days, you can see every

12:09single day. See that little Shorts icon?

12:11That means I've been posting every

12:12single day consistently. And you can see

12:14if I blow this up to the last 28 days,

12:16I've posted every single day except for

12:18one day. I have been insanely consistent

12:20on this channel. And that is why I can

12:22confidently say that if you do

12:23everything I showed you in this video,

12:24you use Cloud for all your research, and

12:26you're insanely consistent, you post one

12:28video every single day no matter what,

12:30and you do that for a few weeks, you

12:32will get results, and you will go viral.

12:34It is totally possible that a few weeks

12:35from now, you have a channel that is

12:36monetized, earning money, and getting

12:38millions of views every single day. So,

12:40get out there, go lock in, go make some

12:42videos, and I will see you in the next

12:43one.
