VIDEO 1
My faceless YouTube portfolio generates 700K per year and I build it the old [music] way, but Clot Cot is changing the way I run it in real time. I built a set of five AI protocols that run my entire portfolio on autopilot. They analyze niches, find ideas for my [music] videos, script them, manage the pipeline in Asana, and even post those videos across all platforms for me. And if you don't know who I am, my name is Tim. I built art world to over $300,000 in its first [music] year and currently run a portfolio of branded YouTube channels you all watch and recently we let go of our script writing team and I don't have channel managers anymore because of the advanced AI protocols I built with cloth cut. So let me show you how it works starting with niche research. So for niche research, I built a protocol called AI clerk and clerk is a nerd and uh it does a very deep competitor research analyzes every single pixel of the their channel and it provides me a significant amount of data uh for me and for other [music] protocols because they all work as a team finishing the work one after another. [music] And to show you how it works, let's actually just give it a go. So we'll u open [music] a channel. Uh let's take Balloon as an example. Um they just recently exploded, [music] started posting 2 months ago, already generated 7.6 million views. Uh a channel that is completely made with AI. So let's try and analyze that with Clerk. So I'll just run the protocol clerk and I'll paste the link uh in a channel. As you can see, it took me exactly 2 seconds. And what Clerk is going to do, it will first ask me if it should analyze long form or short form. Obviously, we wanted to analyze lawn form, but after that, it will start cooking. It will take him some time, but essentially, it will create an amazing SOP [music] for us. So, I'm going to let it cook for a few minutes and come back a few moments later. >> All right, so Cler just finished and uh it analyzed the channel and uh it put three [music] SOPs for us in the spreadsheet. So, let me show you exactly what uh it prepared for us. Again, you remember how much time it took me to launch the protocol and I can run multiple of those protocols simultaneously. So, I can analyze 15 channels all at once without even watching their videos because here's what Clark did. First of all, it analyzed the thumbnails and it prepared a description of each thumbnail. Then, it put together a full transcript of [music] the video. And it's very important because then we'll analyze the scripts and I'll show you the SOPs for scripts as well. It analyzed the hook type, the exact text of the hook, the hook framework. So it basically templatized all of their hooks. It also uh created the uh structure of their videos and uh uh basically gave examples [music] for each one of them. Uh analyzed the storytelling framework, the rehooks that [music] were used, uh the retention patterns, the CTAs, and everything else. I don't even need to read this uh spreadsheet. We will need it [music] later for other AI protocols that will then niche band and script bend for us but right now it's just important that we have this spreadsheet with an enormous amount of data that would took us probably a whole [music] day to collect but claude did it on autopilot and uh all I did is launched the uh the protocol. Now it also created two SOPs. One SOP for people for humans and the other one for AIS. And these are the exact same SOPs just optimized for uh different reasons. The first one is a script writing SOP uh that goes over exactly how to write videos, write scripts for a channel like that. It breaks down the common themes. Uh it breaks down the hook playbook. This one is probably my favorite because uh it gave multiple formulas for the hook with a template with examples uh with uh like use cases and uh um like basically breakdowns of why it worked and it did it for multiple of those formulas and you can read through that. It's actually amazing. So like all of those templates, examples and reasons to work. Uh it also prepared the structure for the entire video. So, uh, prepared the templates [music] for videos like Feloon. And the reason why it's important is because now you don't even need to watch their videos. You can just read through SOP quickly, understand how these their scripts work, and quickly launch a competitor channel or a channel with a niche band where [music] you're going to create videos following those viral patterns, but you're going to be the first one to do it with a fresh angle. For example, looking at Foon, uh you can easily bend it towards any other uh pets and you can have pretty much the same success. Besides cats, there are also rabbits, there are also dogs, there are also turtles, there are also any other pet. [music] And uh you can run a dedicated channel for that. And with this scripting SOP, it will be very easy for you to create those videos because instead of guessing or instead of using very basic AI prompts, you can now recreate the exact patterns that already worked for [music] another channel. As you can see, it basically like it like broke down absolutely everything. It's incredible. Now, it also created a copy of this SOP designed for clot AI because AIS don't read like humans. And uh the SOP that will be very easy to read for us is actually quite different from the SOP that is easy to read for AI. And uh because we're not going to write our scripts ourselves, we need an SOP for AI. And all of the protocols that I'm going to show you in this video are actually interconnected and they work with each other and exchange information. And this document is exactly what Clerk is going to give to the next AI agent that I have uh on my list. And so as the result, you have an in-depth breakdown of why the channel works, how to replicate their success, [music] how to niche bend and create a new niche for yourself. [music] You have a list of their most popular videos and transcripts so you can script bend them towards [music] your future niche. If you are a faceless YouTuber, this one is for you. I just let go my 4K a month script writing team and replace them completely with AI automation. This automation now delivers 30 readym made scripts for my faceless projects every single morning. And if you want to know how I did that on April 8th, I'm going to give you the exact same strategy that stays behind 5 billion views on my channels, [music] a database with over 50 readym made script formulas that you can use [music] and three AI agents I use to completely automate my ideation and scripting processes. All of it comes with a massive bonus of two weeks inside of the script bending boot camp where you and me are going to break down niches, channel strategies, script formulas, and more. So, click the first link in the description, sign up for the workshop before we increase the [music] price. And when you have all of that, it's time to launch the second protocol called AI Muse. Because [music] AI Muse is our ideation agent, it understands the difference between your channel and the channel that uh your competitors are uh running. and that the one that you are trying to copy or replicate and it [music] uses advanced script bending techniques to research and find ideas uh with the most viral potential. Now what it [music] does, it looks at your competitors every day at 9:00 a.m. It finds their outliers and prepares five unique ideas. You can change it to 50 if you want. Five unique ideas for each outlier and then it delivers those ideas in a spreadsheet for review. Again, [music] we switch from intentionally going to clot and asking for ideas to clot automatically delivering those ideas every single morning [music] in our spreadsheets. So, let me show you how it works on the art of war example, the channel that generated [music] 4 billion views. So, on the first list, it basically just scrapes all of the videos from our competitors and uh it bros down like who's this video from. uh it gives me the link, [music] the title, also the transcript of the video and most importantly it analyzes whether or not we can script bend those videos to our channel. So it understands context, it understands what our channel is about and it understands whether or not we can use it. So if you can see true then the video will be moved to the second list. The reason it moves it to the second list is because it's where it will analyze the viral trigger, meaning why the video worked. And using this viral trigger, it will then find five unique ideas. So it will turn on the deep research and it will go and find those ideas somewhere in the internet on Reddit on Wikipedia on any other like [music] from any other source and it will put them in a spreadsheet breaking down the story angle the exact facts and the uh dates [music] and it will tell you why this video is similar to the one that blew up for a competitor. This way you use the scripting structure from a competitor but [music] you script bend it to a new idea that you just found. And because all of it is happening in real time on autopilot, all I really need to do is to open this spreadsheet on daily basis. I would look through ideas quickly. I would then checkbox the ones that I like the most [music] and the next AI agent is going to script them for me. So this spreadsheet is the only thing that I open on a daily basis for 5 to 10 minutes to approve the best ideas that I like and to let my scripting agent know that it can proceed with writing those ideas. So as the result of uh this stage and the protocol muse every single day I have 5 to 50 there's no limit I can have 500 if I want ideas delivered to [music] the spreadsheet for my approval on autopilot and it saves me so much time because when we had script writers previously it uh used to take a lot of management to a make sure that they actually delivered the ideas that [music] they promised then check all of those ideas then give them feedback about those ideas then make sure that uh they're not sick, they're not they are motivated, they are they understand the direction of the channel and etc. Managing people is always a headache. Managing AIS is way easier because they work 24/7 365 for you for 20 bucks a month. That's [music] the difference. And uh unfortunately for people, most of the AIs can now do a better job at scripting if you train them right. And AI Muse is obviously absolutely amazing. and the channel been running on its ideas for uh a very long time now. Uh now [music] it prepares everything for our next AI agent and our next agent is called protocol poet because poet is a scripting agent and uh it looks for approve ideas in a spreadsheet [music] and using our script writing SOPs it writes scripts and adds them to our project pipeline on autopilot. So basically uh poets looks at this spreadsheet it understands that [music] uh those are the ideas that I liked. It takes the ideas and using our SOPs it writes the scripts and besides just writing scripts it also adds them to our Google drive in a specific folder and it also adds them to our project [music] pipeline on asana and uh I think that uh there's no better way to uh show you how it works uh than just running it. So, as you can see, I have this scheduled [music] tasks here. This one runs out on autopilot uh at 9:00 a.m. But right now, because I just approved this two scripts, I'm just going to [music] run it manually. So, I click there. I click run now. And CL will do everything for me. I don't need to do anything besides just clicking these two buttons. And cloth is now going to cook our scripts. And uh to show you how it works, I'll uh open our pipeline. [music] As you can see, we have uh those uh scripts for approve. The last one is 1076. So, while I'm explaining you how this agent works, we'll just see how it is going to add a card uh to Asana. So, what it currently does is uh it looks at the spreadsheet. Uh it then gets access to our scripting so it figures out the [music] right template for this specific idea because we have more than 15 different templates and formats for our content. it figures out the uh the template and it writes the script and it just happened. So as you saw [music] it added the card it moved it for the approved section and now we can go and actually confirm that uh the script was written and uh it uh is uh in [music] the exact folder where we need it to be. So as you can see it created another folder in our um basically shared drive. It created a Google uh document as well and uh let's read through the script. Let's see what uh he came up with. Uh a French foreign legion recruit would intentionally drink his own urine during the 4 month selection process. That's that's such a viral video. Uh it added you see as I always do in my art of war scripts with a 40% dropout rate only. Yeah. So uh the script is actually very very funny and I think it has a potential to go to like 10 million [music] views easily. But uh like the biggest thing is like we didn't even check the idea when we uh when we approved it. Uh but as you can see it changed the status [music] of the idea to scripted and I also actually scripted another one. Uh let's look at the pipeline. [music] Yeah, it just added another script. So right now in real time while I was explaining how this agent works, it just created two scripts for us. It [music] happened in literally 2 minutes and I now have two scripts for a proof. It will probably take me another five minutes to fix [music] one or two words. It still requires me to look at the scripts and change a word here and there. But those scripts are 99% [music] closer to what I need than the scripts that the script writers wrote for me back then. This is why we let go of our team and we actually replaced the [music] entire scripting team with the set of AI agents that we're discussing today. So this is the job of the pilot and uh this is what it does. [music] Every single day I have five to 10 scripts. Again there's no limit to that. It could be 100 if I want to uh deliver to my project pipeline without me lifting [music] a finger. It runs on autopilot. It is scheduled. I uh did the run the test run now manually but I don't need to do it. It runs on autopilot. Now the other protocol that we built actually optimizes the [music] work of the channel manager and we let go of our channel manager as well because Clipper is our SM manager right now. Its goal is to distribute content across all of our platforms. It posts on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok, Snapchat [music] and Spotify literally everywhere I want. And it does it by hand. So as we know if you use some scheduling tools for Tik Tok or Instagram it will lower your reach because uh no other platform wants to uh to have bots posting and scheduling content as they want. Uh but with >> [music] >> uh cloud protocol it actually does it pretty much simulating what I would do. So [music] it opens the browser, it uploads the video, it clicks all of the button like a human would do it. So for for platform it looks like a real person is uploading [music] the video and it does it at different times. It does it uh with optimizations for different platforms with >> [music] >> uh titles and descriptions being optimized with like just clicking different buttons and scheduling for different times and it does it all on autopilot and uh yeah it just posts and it's it's very simple right? Uh so the way it works from the pipeline [music] is I have another folder called SMM and uh whenever I move another video so I have like [music] 49 videos that are ready to post right and whenever I move the video to the posting today section it will then change the assenee to uh this uh basically uh to the clipper who's going to post it. Uh it also now adds the tasks subtasks to the cart. So, as you can see, it added a bunch of different subtasks and the video is now scheduled >> [music] >> uh to to be posted on all of those platforms. Again, it will take it a few minutes to go and schedule it on all of those. It has different SOPs for each platform. So, it understands exactly how to post on each and at what time and what specific optimizations we need [music] to do. Uh, it can cut your videos, it can crop your videos, it can add different titles and uh, thumbnails. It can come up with those. It can create those or even call other agents that will create those for you. And uh, it will make sure to check [music] all of those boxes and actually post the video on all of the platforms. And all you need to do is to track that is to open [music] an Asana card and see where the video was already posted. And uh whenever it finishes, it also adds the comment uh basically saying that uh the video was posted everywhere. Right now I'm going to move it back because today we already did it with uh another video. Now this is a clipper and his job is actually very simple because then uh it automates this manual task that used to cost me or my channel managers 20 30 minutes a day, sometimes even more with the amount of platforms we post on. But now it runs on autopilot without me lifting a single finger or uh needing to hire channel managers or VAS. [music] Another very simple way to automate your YouTube channel. Now, the last protocol that I'm going to give you is called the reporter because the reporter's goal is to keep me posted about everything that is going on in my faceless YouTube business. It sends me daily reports about everything that I need to know about my channels. First, it sends me the screenshot of my YouTube studio. So, I can check my uh real time and the estimated earnings from the last few days. It basically breaks down the this data for me, the subscribers, the last 48 hours, the revenue, and uh it also gives me an understanding of the pipeline. So, it lets me know about how many scripts we have for approve, how many scripts are in progress, how many videos are ready to animate. I need to know all of that. and I don't necessarily want to open Asana uh to do it. So if there's anything urgent in a pipeline, my animators need feedback or uh there's no scripts for them to work on, it will let me know that I need to work on those things today. It will also tell me how many scripts we have for approve and how many videos were sent to [music] SMM so that I know if we have the videos to post today or I [music] need to look at what happened and uh uh who uh from my team did not deliver the results that uh were expected. So, the reporter's goal is to send me this uh feedback every single day about all of the channels where I'm involved as a partner. And uh it saves me so much time on just manually checking every single channel, making sure that everything is running smoothly. It just does it for me. And I sometimes even find myself [music] not opening YouTube Studio because I have all of the data on Telegram every single morning as a morning report. Now, a combination of these five protocols allow me to step back from my daily boring routine and focus on what actually matters for the channel owner. New niches and opportunities, they emerge every single day. And I want to make sure that I have enough time to look into that instead of [music] manually managing boring stuff. Team and motivation. I because we let go of so many team members and replace them with AI. I have now way more time to actually take care of my top people, the people who are actually running creatively running >> [music] >> uh those businesses. Uh scaling and expanding fast, looking at the opportunities, looking at the potential to sell some of the channels or even buy some of the other channels. And all of that was only possible because AI now takes a huge part of the job and [music] does it on autopilot. And the best thing is all of those protocols are simple MD files and the clot skills that uh you can drag and drop into your cloth and it will be ready to use. Meaning you can just ask it to on board you drag and drop the uh cloth AI file. It will ask you a bunch of questions and uh to personalize this workflow for you but then it will basically build and implement the entire protocol for you. So you can have the exact same protocols in your face let you do business in less than 30 minutes after getting those MD files and all of the work all of the coding is already pre-made for you and [music] you only need to drag and drop them. And I'm making all of those scripting protocols a part of the script bending workshop I'm hosting on April [music] 8th. This is where I'll personally show you the system behind 5 billion views on YouTube, 4 billion on this channel. uh like another channel of ours just [music] crossed a billion views and other channels of mine. I'll show you how to find and script short form and long form videos that are making thousands of dollars just like [music] those videos right here. And I'm going to give you access to the three key protocols clerk muse and poet that will completely automate the ideation and scripting parts of your faceless YouTube business done for you. All of it comes with a massive bonus of two weeks inside of our script bending boot camp where every single day I will break down new prompts, scripting frameworks, niches, and formats. This is how it looks and uh uh it's going to be insane. Last time [music] we had 200 people who showed up live to the niche bening workshop, but this time we're doing something even crazier and we're going to overd deliver even more than we did last time. And uh everyone absolutely loved our boot camp. Uh, and uh, this [music] time it's going to be even sicker. And another bonus is a database of over 50 readytouse script templates that all faceless YouTubers are using right now. We've analyzed 500 of the most popular faceless YouTube channels right now. Figured out that all of them are using 50 key frameworks for their scripts and we prepared all of the templates. You will drag and drop those templates into your cloth and it will write scripts for you exactly like those guys are doing it right now. And this is exactly what the script bending workshop is. You can join it now clicking the first link in the description. Embrace the future of faceless YouTube automation. Click a few buttons, build your own Jarvis and automate almost the entire workflow. Quick note though, the price will increase on April 1st and we're closing the doors on April 8th. So, if you are serious about launching a faceless YouTube channel in 2026 using all of the powers of AI, then the first link in the description is waiting for you. Click it and I'll see you

VIDEO 2
Over the past five months, my team and I have found 500 plus faceless YouTube niches. We were always the first to post them on Twitter. I often share them in my weekly niche digests. But for this video, [music] I'm doing something different. I'm going to give you the top 50 niches from our private database that are going to make millions in [music] 2026. We're going to break down their channel strategies, potential niche bands, pros and cons of running each. And if you don't know who I am, my name is Tim. I run art of war and a portfolio of faceless YouTube channels that does over 700K per year. Last month, we did a record-breaking niche bending workshop where over 200 people came live to learn our niche research strategies. And in this video, besides just giving you a breakdown of some of those niches, I will also show you how you can get this entire list of 50 niches with amazing filters and categories for absolutely free. So [music] stay with me till the end and let's get to work. So here I am inside of this uh list with 50 faceless YouTube niches 2026 edition. All of those niches were researched and reviewed by my team and all of them are generating revenue right now. So I want to start with something more simple. Let's actually look on some of the uh AI niches for those of you who are complete beginner. For example, this one we can see that it's uh AI2D. Let's actually look at the channel and let's see what these guys [music] are uh doing. So, whenever I analyze the channel, I first go to the most popular videos to see what uh how long ago they blew up. We see that the most popular videos 6.6 million views. Kind of crazy. 4 months ago, uh 66 million years ago, the last day of the dinosaurs. And I assume that uh the video itself is uh an AI generated. Yeah, I guess it's a combination of real life footage and AI generations. Okay, cool. Uh I think that this use case of AI is actually one of my uh most favorite ones. Uh if those videos don't have the voice over and uh there's no extra value provided [music] uh extra context or storytelling, I'll be very careful. I think those channels like those channels are getting demonetized uh every now and then uh with uh they get hit with an authentic content. So, one thing that I would do if I were running the channel, I would record the channel trailer with you or some actor. You need a real human uh recording channel trailer like, "Yo, this is me. I'm running this channel. I'm using AI to generate my videos, but they're still cool. They're still provide value." This kind of stuff. Uh it typically protects the channel. Uh overall, I would say that I've seen way too many niches like that already. And the reason why I think that this channel blows up is because they don't stick to one specific topic. So we can see that they experimented with u using movies. This was a very popular movie as well. They recreated the story uh Titanic as well. They recreated 9/11 uh and many other things. So they're actually very broad and choose uh different topics and some videos blow up to 2 million while others are stuck at 13K. Uh which is for AI channel is a very powerful strategy. Now if you wanted to ban this channel uh inside that base you already have some potential bands. Let's see what we uh what we have here. Engineering Marvel sounds interesting. I think that they did uh quite a few videos about that as well like this one for example. And uh you can run a channel dedicated to that. Uh military disasters. Military could be complicated with AI. Not all AI models generate military perfectly, but uh could be one of the potential bands. But we're just warming up. That's just one of the channels. And uh the AI one. Oh, actually I see another one like this one is uh my favorite. So Foon is absolutely amazing. So this channel blew up uh a month ago. So, it's the most recent one. And what they did is they started sharing stories about uh cats and they started sharing behind the scenes of what your cat is trying to tell you. And this kind of content like you can imagine the kind of person who watch this stuff. And these are very loyal fans, right? those are going to watch anything you you will say and then they will share it on WhatsApp with each other and they will discuss it and uh uh obviously all of that is just going to generate you insane amount of revenue. Uh most popular video one months ago 2.3 million views uh if your cat sleeps with you they're trying to tell you this uh very clickbaity for the type of audience that watches this content. obviously not against the YouTube policies which is good. Uh and the content itself is made with uh with AI, right? So uh it's also very simple to produce. I guess they they spend uh probably like 300 bucks per per month on subscriptions and uh NBA 500 bucks a month. Nothing crazy. And uh those videos, let's see how much the channel generated. 6 million views. So with a conservative RPM of let's say three, that's $18,000 in the first months of uh posting content and the uh the potential of channel like that is probably like four eight months of printing. So they could theoretically make let's say 20 time 6 uh 120k from this channel then ideally sell it, move on to something else. Uh and uh this actually reminds me of another blow up. I don't know if we have it in the database, but I'll show it to you anyways. Uh, someone used the niche bending uh to to come up with a with a channel idea. So, the most obvious one, you want to take a cat and replace him with another animal, right? And the dog is the most obvious. So, uh, if we go if your dog sleeps with you, uh, it tries to tell you this and I think we'll find, uh, the video, not this ones. Yeah, mindful pause. So, someone copied the video entirely, replaced the cat with a dog, and got 1.7 million views and uh in 11 days. And what's funny is that we posted this niche on February 24th inside of our niche bending uh boot camp that we hosted uh before the niche bending workshop. And uh we actually gave uh this uh as one of the one of the potential bands. So, uh, on February 24th, uh, we said that, uh, someone like whoever bends these two dogs is going to make, uh, tons of money. And that's exactly what happened with this channel. So, again, just a proof that, uh, having an insider information is very important in the space. Uh, and, uh, two potential knee pens for you as well if you want to steal them. Uh, one is, uh, baby body language. So what your baby is trying [music] to tell you, I think it's going to absolutely crush it and uh your body is trying to tell you something. Uh another one for those who want to understand themselves better. Uh also very loyal uh target audience. So absolutely amazing channel, a very easy way to generate your first 5 to 10k months, sell the channel and then transition to something more branded, something more high quality. Now let me go through the niches real quick. Let me see what else uh do we have. I want to touch on some uh 2D channels because uh in one of my predictions for 2026, I mentioned that uh uh 2D channels are actually going to be the uh the kink of u and basically going to crush it. So let's look at panut uh let's look at this channel and see what uh what they are doing. I think it's the uh their most popular video a year ago kind of like an old channel already. So when you analyze a niche, you should always look at the dates because uh if most of their videos they're they're absolutely exploded are older ones and then recently they're not getting any any good views. Let's see at the recent views. Okay, 200k views 6 months. Oh, they're posting. They stopped posting for some reason. Okay, so they uh they they were not active for the last uh 3 months. I guess there's uh two issues uh why uh this could have happened. So first of all, most of the faceless YouTube creators have no idea how to hire. So what they do is they go on Upwork and Fiverr. They hire some random freelancer from India. Again, nothing against India personally, but they're not providing the best services. Uh they are typically um uh delaying the work. They will try to overcharge you for very basic services and they will come up with excuses why this should take longer or should cost more or whatever. It's not the best way to run your faceless YouTube channel. And what happened to me in my journey multiple times is that I would train a freelancer. I would give them all of my SOPs and s uh and explain them how the videos should be made and then they would go and start their own channel in the same exact niche or they would just work for a competitor for a higher pay. So they're not reliable employees, they're not reliable team members whatsoever. So most of the channels like that when I see it, I I'm actually like I'm very much in pain when I see it because uh it's it's a very easy fix. But because the person was not able to fix it, uh they lost such an amazing opportunity that was presented their second video blew up to 1.5 million views. [music] If they had the hiring systems that uh let's say we teach inside of the art of YouTube, uh they would be able to produce [music] the these videos are like four minutes long, right? And the the quality Yeah, the quality is not hard at all. So those videos should cost you like [music] 70 bucks maximum and you could create like two of those a week. This person was creating one a month. So it's it's on a such a different level. But then the reason why these people are uh typically not able to do that, they're very creative. They're very caring about their content as well and they just don't know how to do the business side of YouTube, how to do the hiring, right? How to manage the team, right? Uh so they obsess over their own thing and that's what uh makes their their channels uh fail in the long run. I don't think that this channel could u like it's definitely success but uh it it lacks the consistency, it lacks the amount of content and uh that's why I mean I've probably seen like 10 other examples of pretty much the same character and the same type of videos and it's only because at the right moment they could not could not monetize on the [music] opportunity they had. So very sad story here but a couple of potential niche bands uh suggested dumb as death very interesting one animal absurdity also very good one like animals niche is absolutely crazy on YouTube I personally don't know people who watch this stuff but there are billions and billions of people who do uh invention disasters um okay that's uh this sounds good as well I like the thing that I like about this channel is the uh the character. It's very branded. Uh it's going to help you secure more brand deals long term as well. And it's also very comical. So uh if you have a good sense of humor, uh something like this would definitely u make a lot of sense for you. Now let's talk about some recent blowups. Actually, Professor POV. So uh this channel exploded probably like what's the most popular like a months ago, right? And two weeks ago. So whenever you see a channel like that, it's always a very good sign that uh the niche has something to offer. Uh so the most popular video 2 million views one month ago. I think it's one of the most popular videos in this content category. So uh we're now building a database of content categories. And this uh content category blew up recently. Your life has every rank of whatever. And uh this is uh I think we did like a ranking uh and uh this was top three video of all time in this content category and uh they blew up. Absolutely. Yeah, they they just started posting. This was the third video they posted. So it gets to show how powerful choosing the right content category is and uh what results you can expect when you catch it at the right time. So yeah, I think that uh first of all uh we can clearly see that those type of thumbnails and stories are clear outlier uh compared to uh this for example. So I would probably stop using those completely and just uh switch to uh to doing that. Uh one quick tip, this particular content category exploded rapidly and now everybody is using it. You don't want to be in the crowd. You don't want to do what everyone else is doing. We want to innovate somehow. So the innovation that I see here is first of all using multiple characters because no one so far used two people. Everyone is just putting one person on thumbnail. But then you can have some kind of a comparison. You can have two people and then text with an arrow. Nobody did that. That's a potential. Uh and uh uh the other thing that I'll do is uh I'll go to very subniched content categories. Uh something that uh that is very very niched down uh to a specific market. Um I don't know uh like your life as every rank of surgeon or uh every rank of uh cool professor whatever it is that is [music] about the topic that uh you deeply care about. Let's actually look at what the database is suggesting. Criminal uh hierarchies. Okay, this one is kind of used already. Military comment like this one is less used. So, this one is good. Corporate power. This one is very nice. So, corporate power uh probably is my favorite out of those three. Um all right, let's crack on some more 2D channels now because uh so like the power of this uh of this database and this is like 50 out of like 500. 500 is a private database with that we keep for our clients. But uh at the end of this video, I'll show you how you can get uh at least 50 of those. Now, you can browse through uh niches. So, we can go storytelling, education, crime. Let's say we're curious about history. And we can also try and do 2D animation. Okay, cool. We found this two channels. Let's look at the everything professor. Um so, what's up with this channel? 10 days ago, 1.3 million views. That's crazy. 700k views a month ago. So, they're posting quite consistently. Most popular video four months ago, every drug explained, 3.8 million views. Uh, yeah. So, this channel been around for a while. [music] And whenever you see a channel like that, you have to first understand a how many people have already tried copying him and also is he using trends or is he evergreen. So looking at this, I can definitely tell that he's evergreen. So he's using the same type of thumbnails forever basically and it's the type of thumbnails that uh is not linked to any current trends. So, uh, it blew up for him 7 months ago and it keeps blowing up for him 10 days ago. So, it means that the format is evergreen and you can pretty much go into that, uh, whenever. So, you don't need to rush. You don't need to, um, you know, do it urgently. It's fine if you do it in two months or 3 months. It's just a question of how creative your ideas are within that format that is evergreen. Um, pretty decent niche, uh, pretty solid one. I want to find something uh something more interesting. So, let's uh remove the filters. Let's see what else we have uh in 2D. Okay. So, we have this one uh last video one year ago. Looks pretty pretty much like Mr. Beist uh style. 2.8 million views uh 8 months ago. Okay, I see now. So, it's basically faceless Mr. Beast. Oh, wow. I I love it. I I think it's a very cool uh content category. I think not many people realize and this is one of my favorite niche bands. I talked about it during the workshop. Um when you take the influencer that is blowing up currently, whoever it is, fitness influencer, looks maxer, uh longevity influencer, uh like politic influencer, whoever it is that is yapping on camera and getting crazy amounts of views and you take his brand and his ideas and you make them faceless. you basically reach the same category and even more. So you be like you create a demand like someone else created a demand that you can use uh in this faceless world. The reason why it works is because I generally believe that we don't follow people we follow ideas. So when someone explodes it's not because of them it's because of the ideas they share. So Mr. Bist it's not for Mr. based Jimmy. It's for the type of content and ideas he shares. And his idea is anybody can get reach randomly by coming on my uh competitions, right? So, you can do the same thing in faceless style. You just have to figure out the format. And I think that these guys uh did that perfectly. A better example of that would be uh Brian Johnson. I hope that you all know Brian Johnson. Basically, like I wanted to say Luke Maxer. No, actually uh longevity like he he built this longevity protocol and he talks about like the importance of sleep and this kind of stuff and there was a channel how how you thrive uh that basically reanimated his ideas in 3D and uh you can check his most popular videos 42 million views 24 million views 22 million views etc. So it blew up the same exact ideas reanimated in 3D. So one of my favorite niche bands is exactly that. So you take something that works for an influencer, you make it faceless, you figure out the right format for it, it explodes. For uh Torque or whatever his name is, the potential new events that the database suggests is survival psychology, interesting one. Uh crime scenarios, also interesting one. And the true crime is like one of the hugest categories on YouTube right now. And military survival. Okay, sounds very good. Now, let me tell you how you get access to this uh list of uh 50 faceless YouTube niches so that you can personally go through each one of them. Uh use filters and find the niche that uh works for you, that you want to bend, that you want to copy, that you want to get inspiration from. All you need to do is to click the first link in the description. That's uh uh that's where you get access to this uh list for absolutely free. Uh it's a very simple website with two questions. So, and one button. uh just click it real quick and uh I will send you the email with access to this database. Uh you will go through the same exact channels uh find the uh niche bands and uh uh potentially get inspiration for your YouTube channel, launch something and uh scale it to 10 to 15k months. That's not guaranteed. Most people do nothing. But if you want some help, then it's probably the best place to start. So find the first link in the description. uh go check out the uh list of niches and I'll see you in the next

VIDEO 3
In October 2025, my flagship YouTube channel made me $56,000 from $689 million views. Around the same time, another channel from my portfolio got $761 million views and made us $70,000. And recently, I repeated this process again, scaling this channel from 0 to 1 billion views and $88,000 in revenue. And all of this was possible because we never script our videos. Instead, we use what I call the script bending. But while previously we managed a team of three script writers that was costing us about $3 to $4,000 a month, we recently let them go and replace them with AI. So, the systems that we used became even more accessible. And in today's video, I'm going to give you the exact same system and I'm going to show you how we script our videos that, as you can see, get billions of views. But well, other similar videos just like this one about faceless YouTube scripts uh give you surface level scripting techniques like, "Hey, Chpt, uh, can you please write me a script about X, Y, and Z?" Or, uh, they give you a stealing method when you basically copy someone else's work and you expect it to go viral. Spoiler, it never actually works like this. or they just give you generic basic level artist level uh prompts for cloth or uh even GPT. Spoiler, GPT is terrible. You should never like cancel your GPT subscription because you should never use that. Uh in this video, the script bending video, I'm going to give you the unique script bending method. I'm also going to show you the database of 50 plus uh scripting templates we created for our workshop. And I'm going to show you a team of AI agents that find ideas, write scripts, and do the manual job on autopilot. So instead of giving you a fish very often, uh rooten one, uh I will give you the fishing rod so that you can catch the fish whenever you want and find those ideas and script those videos as many times as you want for as many faceless channels as you want. And this is exactly what I call the script bending. Now, let me explain you the method because most people honestly get that wrong. They think they should write their scripts, but in fact, you should actually never do that. Uh, others make another mistake thinking that uh you should steal someone else's ideas, but it never works out. So, both of those methods don't work. Forget about them. Instead, what you should be doing is remember this formula. Viral YouTube script is always a unique idea and a proven storytelling framework. A combination of those two delivers. So you should always find unique ideas that no one has ever covered in your direct competition. Uh and you should use proven storytelling frameworks that worked for competitors. So frameworks are proven, ideas are unique, and the combination of both give you unique videos that are almost guaranteed to work. So this is the only combination that guarantees the success of your video. Almost guarantees. There's never uh 100% guarantee, but this one is as close as it gets to the guarantee. So to give you an idea, here's exactly how it works. Uh these are two videos. One is from agent floppy and the other one is from Looney Throne. And the initial video that blew up 9 months ago to 6.1 million views is every US president death explained in 21 minutes. This video was also script bended from uh I think paint explainer was the first to do every someone's death but agent floppy uh innovated on the style. they did a way better thumbnail uh and that's why their video exploded 6.9 uh 6.1 million views but then Looney Throne actually banned this video and created every British monarch death explained in 21 minute and for most of you the picture is already clear what is script bending but uh I will still explain how the framework works because we're now looking at the title and thumbnail but there are so many different script bends you can do you can bend the title You can bend the thumbnail. You can bend the script, the hook. Basically, any part of the YouTube video you can bend, turning it into your unique piece. So, let me explain you how it works. The original video blew up and it was about presidents. And the storytelling framework was like this from like this is the exact script from the video. So I went ahead, I transcribed both of those videos and these are the frameworks and how they worked every single time because once they copied the video, they got 300,000 views on it in 4 months. So the framework was from eating raw cherries to contaminated water at the White House to getting assassinated in broad daylight. This is how every US president died and their final words. So this was the initial hook that made the video explode. And as you can see the structure here is very simple from X to Y to Z. Uh this is how something right and these guys they simply bended to British monarchs. So they changed presidents to British monarchs and the framework was exactly the same. So the hook was structured the exact same way from this to that to then this. And then this is how every English and British monarch died over the last thousand years. As you can see, they actually used a shorter version of it. And that's probably one of the reasons why I feel like their hook is way worse than the original one. Agent Flappy did a way better job at hooks, but still it made the video explode. So they scriptbent the format, so the title and thumbnail, and they also script bent the hook and the rest of the script. So in this example, I'm only giving you the hook because it's a very clear example, but actually the rest of the script is pretty much like that. Whenever agent floppy breaks into um like uh goes into storytelling or using lists or using cold actions, the uh these guys are doing the exact same thing. And the reason why they do it is because it's very simple to copy the structure with the eye which I'm going to show you at the uh like in this video. Now you can continue bending it to multiple examples. So you can uh create a video every celebrity death explained. You can like this one by the way uh also uses what I call the hype injection. You can talk about celebrities that are popular right now. And uh by doing that you can actually get uh to a broader audience. You can increase your thumb total addressable market by using that. I'll probably create another video on hyperjection and how it works. Uh then you can do every dictator's death explained. Pretty similar topic to the uh to this one. Every controversial influencer death explained also kind of hyper injection in a way. Every star in a a universe. um death explained this one is bent to uh like space and uh um like physics and stuff like this. Uh so you can be creative with those bands, right? Uh and when I personally saw this band because I was uh one of the first to uh to see this video blew up. I I I saw it at like 200k views. So um when I saw it blew up, I immediately did the same thing for uh with one of the Art of YouTube clients. So we banned the video. I'm not going to tell you the topic of that uh obviously to protect my client's channel, but uh we panned the video to something very creative, very new, something no one has done uh like before. And uh we posted the video. It was the second ever upload on the channel. And for the first 16 days, it was uh basically sitting at 200 views, which is like almost always when you start a new YouTube channel right now, a branded one uh with long form, it will almost always get stuck at 0 to 200 views for the first two weeks. But then, as you can see, 20 days later, it started blowing up out of nowhere. And uh like I'll zoom zoom that in for you. uh Kiel basically sending it in the community as a win because as you can see the graph the video absolutely exploded after the 20th day. So 50k views in uh in a day back then and uh by now the video sits at uh a solid 263 uh,000 views and that was the second ever upload posted bended from one of those videos. So this is how this script bending work. This is like the type of results you can expect from doing that. So this way you create unique valuable piece of content while sticking to the framework that worked for someone else. That's the key here. You have the framework, you know that it works, you know that the audience wants this format, but you give them a new fresh angle that no one has ever done. And that's how you get very strong uh faceless videos. Now another example uh this format I'm sure you know this format it's been blowing up like crazy recently your life as every rank of something in this case it was mafia uh people started doing u like soldiers people started doing uh history like so like soldiers during World War II or Vietnam war or um like again uh there were like I'll show you a bunch of other uh bands uh in uh in a bit but this guy actually did something very very smart. You remember I told you about hype injection. So he did exactly that because uh this guy is currently blowing up everywhere and Epstein island is uh on trend. It's like on hype. Uh this guy decided like what if I take the format and I bend it to something that is currently hyping like crazy. So he did that and uh as you can see uh the video from like 11 days old video got half a million views which is uh again crazy result for a channel and uh quick story like you can check the channel it was not successful at all. So this was one of the first videos that uh blew up for them. They first went viral with a similar video and uh there was a complete copy. I'm not recommending you to steal content. Sometimes it works, but it's kind of hit or miss. But this time it went absolutely crazy because they did something new, something that no one has ever done before. And the good thing is you can do it with AI. And uh for that, I recommend you use cloth AI. Cloth is probably the best script writing AI right now. And you just tell it like look, you're an expert. You need to analyze this uh video and you need to prepare a script writing SOP breaking down exactly uh what they use for their hooks there the like how they structure the videos their storytelling buttons their viral triggers and clot will give you an extensive document that will look something like this. So this is the document that we created. Uh like the uh it's a bit up because I turned PDF into like a docs file, but basically you can see how big those SOPs are. And this was basically a single prompt with a bunch of videos from Zag Films. And that's the kind of SOP you need to create for every single channel of yours. Now, the way you use these SOPs is A, you're going to learn a lot about the storytelling patterns and the uh scripting frameworks in your niche, but b you will now turn this SOP into something that you use to educate your uh clot AI agent that will then create scripts for you. So, this is something that we did. Now, if you do it with a single video, because with this prompt, you need to attach the video transcript of one of your competitors. If you do it with a single video, it's going to be good enough. But what I did is I actually put 500 video transcripts for like of Zakde Films to create a legendary version of the same SOP. It turned out so good. It's like 15page book. It's almost a book uh that goes over exactly how Zak Films structures his videos. So, uh, this version turned out to be legendary. And this is because I gave Claude enough data on how those videos are structured. So, the more transcripts you can get, the better. And a good thing is we actually did it for you. So, again, stick with me till the end. I'll tell you how you can get all of the SOPs for the most popular uh formats and trends of faceless YouTube automation. Now, how do you actually create those niche bands? Those script bands, excuse me. Because uh niche bands is the first piece that you need and script band is the second piece that you need. So, in order to fully understand script bands, you actually need niche bands. So, uh yeah, go watch this video right after you finish this one. You will have a full picture of exactly how this thing works. But uh uh yeah, figure out the niche, then figure out the scripts, and then I'm planning to continue this series helping you to figure out the production and YouTube algorithm as well. Now, let me explain you what that means. So, uh there are those channels, right? And uh the odd dude explained is the channel about mafia and gangs. And as you can see, all of his videos are very well structured. Like the structure is easy to see and easy to copy. POV, you're the cartel deadliest uh hitman. POV, you're this. POV, you're that. And this is all about mafia gangs and uh uh this kind of stuff. So, the bad guys. Now, PO, Professor POV actually bent this niche towards good guys. So, he changed bad guys to good good guys and he now creates videos your life as every uh CIA Black Ops uh rank and rank of this, rank of that. basically same videos, slightly different thumbnail, but the structure of their scripts is exactly the same. I know because we analyzed that and we came to the conclusion that the scripts are almost identical, meaning either it's the same D or they are stealing scripts from each other, changing a few words here and there. So, uh it's very hard to see from the first look at those channels, but when you do a deep research, which we've done, then you can see it very clearly. So these videos are pretty much the same. Again uh one is slightly bigger and uh slightly longer. It performed better as well. But again the structure of the script which we care the most about in this video at least uh is exactly the same. And those videos are also the same. They changed the uh cartel deadliest hitman to the FBI informant and created the same exact uh video following the structure that worked. Again, this video is about follow the structure that works and come up with the original idea that no one has done before. So, the script bending in simple words is basically taking a proven format from a different niche and rewriting the script following the exact same structure for new original ideas. Now, I'm going to give you the examples from the database that we created with 50 plus proven script formats. Number one is the professor POV storytelling style. Uh this channel again, it's absolutely everywhere now. It's uh blowing up and uh uh their videos are getting crazy amounts of views, especially this one. And the format obviously people are trying to steal it as much as possible because it works. What's the scripting format of this channel? First of all, uh they always use uh you version of the script. So, uh, you drop in, uh, they place the viewer directly into a specific role, era, or situation, and it sounds like you, uh, apply online like everyone else. Uh, there's a form on the CIA website. Uh, then you like this happened to you, uh, this happens to you and they develop a story from there. Now, uh, they, yeah, as I said, they develop the story in a chronological sense. They walk through the full arc. uh each stage darker, more complex, higher stakes. Uh if you get caught, the C will uh deny you exists etc. And uh they also uh give it a very strong ending. So they end the video very strong as well. So this is the storytelling framework. Now how do people actually bend it? Well, there is a video about dinosaurs and uh this channel was actually way way way um older than the uh POV explainer uh POV professor. So POV professor was not the original one, but that's the most uh common right now. Uh but there was a video about dinosaurs with the same exact structure. Uh there is a video about lust and like sexual history uh that is structured the exact same way. Uh there's a video about mafia structure the same way. So it doesn't really matter what topic your channel covers, you can always apply the structure that work for someone else. And this is what I want you to understand and learn uh about this script bending concept. Doesn't matter what blows up, you need to be plugged in into the basically like the YouTube feed, YouTube algorithm. You need to understand what works currently for other channels and you need to bend it to your niche. So today we're not talking about your niche. We're not talking about like yo talk like you create a video about mafia or uh create a video about that. Whatever channel you run, you can bend this format towards your audience. You can make this format work for your channel. And this is exactly what I want you to do. So take this script formula, apply it to one of the ideas that already worked on your channel, and you're going to get a viral video that will blow up to hundreds of thousands of views almost guaranteed if you have a channel that works. If you have a niche that is proven if you have the uh niche bending figured out already. Now the other example would be the pin explainer style. probably the oldest of them all uh the most uh let's say uh used one but still there is multiple channels that are doing it. So uh first of all uh there's no intra in that style. Uh they jump straight into the uh number one and uh they go over like one like basically either psychology tricks or life hacks or uh different dictators. They go uh one by one explaining each one of them. So your script bending formula is actually very simple. Find a storytelling formats three to five. You need multiple of those that work for indirect competitors. Adapt them for fresh ideas, fresh ideas uh that you generate in your chosen niche. Create unique content with almost guaranteed results. So this is the formula. You find something that works for indirect competitors. You're trying to bring new formats to your own niche and you adapt it for uh to ideas that no one has ever done before. This is how you get unique content on YouTube that has all the proof it needs for the algorithm to blow your videos up. This is the formula. Now, how do you do it in practice? And we got you covered as usual because we created that entire database for you. And uh if you visited our niche bending workshop, we you know how much I love those ideas uh databases because we have the exact same database for 500 plus faceless YouTube channels. So what we did, we actually analyzed all of the videos, all of the most popular videos from those channels. We put together a list of 5,000 different videos and their scripts. And we figured out that all of them followed very clear frameworks. and we found 50 plus frameworks that we put in this database uh that are helping those channels blow up. So the way I now use this database in practice is whenever I want to create a video for a channel I would search for a proven framework for the script in this database. So for example because we've talked about paint explainer uh like there's paint explainer style of video or let's say I want to see how simple paint creates his videos. So first thing that we see is the script formula. So here's how the uh they structure their scripts and you don't need to understand it yourself. You like you don't even need to read it because this is just a part of the prompt that you will get give to clotai so that it writes the script for you completely for you. Now uh there's a txt file with all of the scripts from simple pain already. We just put them in the doc because you we know that you need them. Now there will be another file. Uh we're now in the process of finishing this database. Obviously we're preparing for the script bending workshop that is coming uh April 8. And uh there will be an MD file with the complete cloth AI prompt that you will upload in one click and your cloth will learn the skill of writing scripts similar to simple paint. And uh simple paint is quite unique. But if I show you the paint explainer, you will also see a bunch of other channels that are doing the exact same style and you will see whether or not your channel is there maybe or you will see who else tried to copy the exact same format and how they p it because every single one of them is different because some of them are bending towards MMA, some of them are bending towards professor is actually quite a funny one. uh pin explainer uh fictionary nexus files. Some of those are actually not very clear bands. So instead of copying titles and thumbnails, they copy the script structure, but their thumbnails are completely different. So you would have never told like guessed that uh these are the exact same videos, but they are the same. And we know that because we analyzed every single one of them. And for each channel we analyzed, we give you the TXT files with all of their scripts so you can upload them to cloth and you can ask your own questions. You can see whether or not they're actually, you know, as interesting as you think they are, right? So you don't need to watch any of the videos from your competitors. And I'm going to give you the exact same prompts as well, the MD prompts, so you can use that as a learning material to teach your clot to write scripts for those channels. So super excited for that. Uh the niche bending workshop is coming April 8th right now. Below this video you can find the wait list or if you're watching this video late then you will see the exact link to get your tickets. Uh do that now because I'm expecting more than 300 people to join us live this time. And this time I'm actually preparing something legendary for all of you. So you know how much I love to overd deliver. This time we're delivering an extreme amount of value for uh just a fraction of the cost that uh this thing should cost. Now what from that process should you actually automate because I've built some incredible automations uh that I think you should build too. Now I have the AI agent to find ideas for me. So the way it works is uh there is a database of videos every single day. It scrapes the videos from all of my competitors. It puts them in a spreadsheet and it analyzes whether or not those videos could be bent to my niche to the art world channel and if you can see true then this video will be scripted. If you can see false then uh this video is not usable for us. So for example uh it then creates this list where it collects all of the ideas that we can bend to our niche to our channel because I taught it exactly how to script bend videos. Right? So it finds the original transcript of the video. So it transcribes the video for me. It finds the viral trigger why the video works and it also gives me five ideas for each one of those videos. And what I do on a daily basis, I open the spreadsheet, I check the ideas and I think, okay, cool. Do I like those ideas or not? And if I do, then I just check box the the ones that I like those ones. And the next morning, Clot will see that I like those ideas and it will start writing those scripts for me. So this is the level of automation that I want in my business. I want everything to be as streamlined as possible. AI agent searching for ideas, sends them to me for a proof. Then another one writes those scripts. So every single day at 9:00 a.m. uh it will open my uh like spreadsheet. It will check for approved ideas and it will write the scripts for me. And to show you how it works, let me actually run it right now. And uh we will see what is uh capable of. So we'll run the scripts. You can see I'm clicking run now. And the cloth will start working on uh that for me. And what it's going to do, it's going to look at all of the ideas that I approved from here. It's going to change their status to scripted and it's going to add them all to my Asana. So I'll open asana right now. I'll show you the dashboard. These are all of the scripts that we have for approveof right now. As you can see, the last one is 1058 and the uh cloth is now working on uh basically searching for ideas that it liked and adding them here. So, it will create a Google folder for me. It will create a Google document. It will put the script that it wrote in that document and it will create an Asana card in my dashboard. it will basically make the entire process work seamlessly without me doing anything. So, right now, we're just waiting for it. As you can see, it works. Okay, cool. As you can see, the first video was just delivered and uh it took probably 2 minutes. Um, let's actually click around and let's see what it did. Uh, so first of all, we have the Google folder as you can see 1059 and uh it just wrote the this script. So it took this idea, he used our script writing asole piece and he prepared a fresh script and uh it actually looks pretty solid from the first look. It used the UC that I always use in my scripts. It also added a punch at the end and uh the it used wood intentionally that I always use in my artwork scripts. So it followed the SOP to the T and uh it created a very good script. So this is the level of automation that we now use. This is what replaced my uh 4K a month script writing team. And uh I'll probably create another video on that automation because it's too crazy to fit it into the uh script pending uh video. But what I wanted to show you is that almost everything that I showed you today can be automated. And as long as you can collect a bunch of data from your competitors, as long as you can uh put it into the right prompts, you can actually make clot run your faceless YouTube channel for you. This is pretty much how I run my hardware channel right now. That channel that did 4 billion views. The channel that generated 300 plus,000 in revenue is now run by my AI agents. And all I do is approve ideas once a day and then just uh approve those uh scripts once I like them. And while I was speaking uh basically Claude delivered another idea for me and it even writes a personalized compliment for my animators just to keep them a little bit more happy. No. So if you want to take the next step uh what I want to do is invite you to the script bending workshop. At the bottom of my heart, I believe that that's going to be the biggest event in Faceless Industry. The one that will change the way people create their YouTube channels, people run their YouTube channels. So, on April 8th, I'm hosting the script bending workshop. This is where I'm not just going to tell you how to script bend. Instead, I'm going to give you the plugandplay AI agents that will do it for you. So you come to the event, you set them up, you set those agents up once and they work for you 24/7, 365 for 20 bucks a month clot subscription. Cancel your GPT, start using cloth instead of 3.6K a month that was previously the cost of my script writing team. And every single day they will deliver 20 30 actually there's no limit but 20 30 ideas is already pretty good. five to 15 new scripts based on your channel analytics and SOPs. It will work like this. You will put a link of your channel in the chat. It will analyze everything. It will create SOPs for you and then it will automatically build all of the other agents so that you can click one button every morning. You don't even need to click it, but like you'll click it once and every single morning it will run automatically collecting all of the ideas, writing all of the scripts and all you need to do is to approve the best ones. Last time we did the workshop, we had over 200 people who showed up live and dozen of them then messaged me afterwards with words of appreciation for how much we've actually overd delivered. You know how much I love overd delivering and giving even more than I promised. This time we're going to uh to deliver even more. And uh instead of focusing on a theory, I'm just going to give you the exact readymade templates, prompts, AI agents, and protocols that currently run my 700K per year YouTube portfolio. So, this is how SAP scaled to 20K months in just 90 days. Ron got his uh silver button. Congrats, Ron. Ollie created a video, recreated the video uh that got 1.3 million views overnight. And Kil got 50K views long form. Now, we know that the video sits at around 270K. Uh this is the video that got him monetized, second ever upload, and he used the script bent. Now, because I don't want you to miss on that opportunity, if you sign up for it now, you will receive a huge bonus from me. a two week script bending boot camp where every single day I'm going to be in the same private Telegram group with you where I'm going to break down successful YouTube scripts and show you exactly how you can use them in your niche. We're going to do a lot of niche breakdowns and script breakdowns as well. You will be able to ask me questions in the chat. And if you want to learn how I script my videos that get hundreds of millions of views and how you can use AI to automate 90% of that process, click the first link that you can see in the description. The website will tell you exactly how to sign up to the script bending workshop and join it before we increase the price. Do that right now and I'll see you live on the biggest event in faceless YouTube

VIDEO 4
You've probably seen the same scenario on YouTube thousands of times. A YouTube channel blows up, gets hundreds of thousands of views, generates thousands of dollars in revenue. Everybody talks about it on Twitter, but then the views suddenly drop, the algorithm changes, and nobody cares about this channel anymore. Well, the bad news is it's most likely going to happen to your YouTube channel as well if you don't protect yourself building a high barrier to entry. So, in this video, I'm going to break down four YouTube channels that generated multiple five or even six figures in revenue that are already dead or going to die out. And I'll explain you the logic behind those niches and why they die. And I'm also going to give you five niches with different revenue potential. And I'll explain you why those are long-term and how you can print with those for years, not only weeks. So, without further ado, let's get started with the channel that blew up absolutely everywhere because Dr. data got 500,000 views. And uh before you say that you already know everything about this channel, I will actually just show you one very smart thing that this guy did uh that 99% of faceless creators don't understand. So the problem with this content is that it blew up around 2 months ago and I created a niche digest about it. I I think I talked about it in couple of videos of mine. Uh the views were very consistent because they generated 300 million views uh from just 80 videos and their best video is only 20 million views, right? So it's not like one video got significantly more than the others. They they all got around five to 10 million views on average. Uh the problem with those is they're made with AI and when a whole YouTube community sees that something can easily be replicated obviously thousands of people go and try it and uh they created countless amount of uh competitors. If we simply uh search for uh their nickname we will see amount of people like it's just it's just crazy how many people try to replicate their success. Obviously all of them failed but YouTube doesn't really care where the content is coming from. meaning it analyzes the target audience. It analyzes the content piece itself without attaching it to a specific channel and then it matches the audience with the content piece. It doesn't care if your followers are watching your channel or your competitor's channel or the channel that was created 2 days ago or 2 years ago. It doesn't care. The only thing that YouTube cares about is uh satisfaction, user satisfaction throughout the session. meaning it will show your audience whatever uh they are going to enjoy. And that's why competition really matters on YouTube because anyone can get views as long as they're creating good content. And when you enter an AIdriven niche, the barrier to entry is so low and it's so hard to create something unique and something actually valuable for the audience. That basically means that from the moment your trend and your format blows up to the point where a lot of competitors are entering the niche, you only have a few weeks. And later in this video, I'll show you how the trends blow up on YouTube. And uh I'll show you what that means uh to the potential of uh your YouTube channel. Now, the interesting fact about Dr. data is that they generated about 20 $25,000 from uh YouTube, but when they realized that the views are starting to go down, they had two ways they could actually squeeze the most out of the channel. They could either sell the channel, which is a very cool option, but uh again, buyers are typically very smart and they don't buy YouTube channels when they see that uh the the trend for for the niche is dying out. or they could monetize the info products. And this is exactly what they did because uh they created the Gumroad page. You can set up one in a couple of minutes. Uh and uh they started selling a course on how they make their own videos. And as you can see here, they did 90 sales of 150 bucks. So, if we do the math real quick, and they made an extra $13.5,000 from uh again teaching others how to do those videos. Uh and that's very smart because they ride the trend. They got the most out of the YouTube channel. They started to see that the views uh go down and uh if we go there uh you'll see how they were up rising for couple of weeks and then obviously their views suddenly drop. That's when they realized that, okay, cool. Something is going on within the algorithm. We need to do something about it. Our our channel is going to die. So, they started selling a course on how to do that. Again, it's probably not the most ethical way to do it because they kind of understand that the niche doesn't work. But, uh, still generating them some uh extra revenue and obviously even though the the channel died out, they were able to uh get an extra uh 15k uh from it. And I'm sure that uh if people who used the course were smart enough, they uh didn't copy the original idea, but they actually applied the lessons to uh generate something uh something new. At least the the rating is good. So again, uh we can debate the ethical part of it, but uh it's a good way to monetize the channel even if your views start to go down. And uh later down this list, we will talk about some educational channels that are actually uh pretty much money printers when you add an info product on top of that. So I strongly believe that in 2026 you should not rely solely on AdSense revenue. You should actually uh think about other ways you can monetize your channel outside of YouTube because uh YouTube is not the most stable platform right now. The next channel that I want to show you is actually the long-term niche. And uh this is where I want to give you the comparison because this channel did something very smart. I call it the niche bending. And uh I'm sure by now you've seen my videos talking about niche bending a lot. But basically it's it's the most beautiful uh example of niche bending that uh I can find. So they simply took the channel uh yellow dude and they banned it to women. So they started talking about the same topics but for females and uh again females are very untapped YouTube market. Only a few channels are actually targeting women and that's why it blew up immediately. So uh this guy was talking about like calisthenics and sports and all of that. So they simply adapted all of those topics for females. And as you can see, most popular video by now, 500,000 views, uh 400k views there, etc. So, the channel blew up. They generated uh 1.3 million views. And yes, in terms of the revenue, it's probably the lowest uh paid channel uh on the list. But the reason why I wanted to include that is because it's a perfect example where uh of of the channel where you can use info product as a way to double or triple your potential revenue. Because when you run an educational channel, you have to understand that people come to your videos to learn something new. And whenever there is a learning process involved, you can always sell people the next step. And for that you can do two things. You can either start a community yourself, you can do it on WO, you can do it on school. And uh you can make 100% of the the money. But then uh it kind of involves the uh info product like you need to know how to build those info products. Or you can just go on discover uh discovery. If you don't know what is, simply like Google it, you'll find it. So you can go on a discover page on WAP. You can find fitness communities for women and you can be an affiliate for one of those. So simply you just add their link to your bio or all of your videos uh in the description of all of your videos and you drive your tremendous amount of traffic to this community. And again uh because people are naturally want to learn and uh they come to your channel and this community to learn about sports and again the target audience match uh then you will make 30 to 50% from each affiliate sale that uh you make for uh those communities. You don't need any knowledge at creating those info products. In this case, you just promote someone else's community, and that's the fastest way you can add an extra 5 to 10K a month to the channel that is already doing really well. So, number one, it's a perfect long-term niche because they're using uh 2D and they're doing a very good uh job. I I think it's actually AI, not 2D, but AI 2D. Now, they're kind of uh they merge into one, but uh they're doing very good job at branding. So, that's why the channel will survive long term. They're also focusing on long form content, not uh so much shorts and uh they are building around a very specific target audience. So all of those factors combined make me say that uh this is the long-term niche that will survive for months or maybe even years. And with a extra monetization on top, it can actually make a significantly better income than just 4K per month. Now before we transition, I want to show you how the formats blow up so that you understand the theory of it. Now I want you to look at the blue graph right here. So the long-term niches, the way the channel typically explodes and I'm talking about formats. Uh so formats like u skeleton AI skeleton or uh AI fitness influencer like these are the formats, right? So the way they blow up is for the first two weeks they go through the validation stage. This is where one or two channels are using it and uh it works for them. Someone invented it and it worked but still only a few people uh you know caught it at the right time. Then comes the breakout stage. This is where more channels start doing it and it works for every single one of them. So you need to understand that if you cannot find a single video that failed with a format then it means that you found a format at the validation or breakout stage. And this is very important like if you find a format there, jump on it immediately. Like that's uh like that's probably the best format for you to hop on. Then comes the momentum. Momentum is when more channels kick in and more people start using the format. It's anywhere between five and 15 channels that are uh now exploring and trying this format, different ideas and etc. Uh this is where the growth is still exponential but it kind of stabilizes to the end of this stage and this is where the format enters the big stability stage. It can go up and down for months like 1 2 3 months doesn't really matter and then it starts to decline and this is inevitable for any format on YouTube. Even Mr. B said that uh uh some of his best formats started to decline and that's why now he's trying to stop posting videos right there at uh the stage where people still care. But then at the end of the day on social media platforms we all want to watch something new and that's why no matter how good is the format is going to die. The question is when? So uh if you look at the long-term trends and long-term niches, they die within 50 weeks and it's quite a like long period of time. And then if you uh look at the short-term niches and short-term trends, they can die within just a few weeks. So doctor data uh they died within two months I think two 3 months. U so this is very important. These are five stages of formats and how they grow. And uh this uh this is something that I uh wanted you to understand before I show you the Vixie myth channel because uh the Vixie myth channel uh the problem with that channel is again it's super easy to replicate. So if we walk watch like if we look at their most popular videos uh these are basically not brain rot but uh you see how the the format essentially is actually very interesting because it kind of shows you all of the uh potential hair like uh I think one of the videos were about was about haircut but then uh in general it's just like fast uh fastpac editing of uh different clips etc. The reason why those die out quickly is because uh imagine you are a newbie, you want to start YouTube, you see something like this blow up. You can replicate this channel in 2 hours. You don't need any time, any skills, any resources to do that. And that's why thousands of people start to to do the exact same thing. And obviously, it means that the validation and breakout and momentum stages are actually very very short. So it can happen within just one week. and then the niche enters the peak stability very soon means that within a few weeks it's going to die out and it's going to decline. Uh that's inevitable for uh niches like that. That's why even with like 50k in revenue made on this channel right now it's completely dead. And if I were to compare it to uh another channel that recently blew up that uh that is at the bottom of the list poly I think it's going to survive for way longer. So the reason why is because this channel is actually using uh highquality uh Unreal Engine animations. So if we look at his videos, he blew up from the from the very first one and they only posted 16 and they generated 113 million views. So on average they generate 10 million views per video. uh it's shorts but uh the reason why nobody can copy it at least I haven't seen any anyone trying that yet is because uh to actually generate those uh 1 minute plus videos you need a 3D animator you need someone who is capable of doing those uh uh those videos like inside Unreal Engine uh and uh you also need the like hiring skills right so all of that creates the skill barrier to entry and the the overall barrier barrier to entry and protects the niche from future competition. Uh this channel blew up last months again still no competition. So meaning that this channel is actually at the uh validation stage still. So the longer the validation and breakout stage, the longer the overall trend going to survive. And uh this is what makes me say that uh this channel will definitely survive for the next 6 to 12 months. Meaning if it generates 7 to 10k per month, that's the 100k potential for the channel minimum. And then if they keep innovating and inventing new formats, then it can easily turn into 200, 300k, whatever. And I did the exact same thing with the artware, the channel that we scaled to 300K in its first year of making content, posting twice a day, high quality 3D animation. Nobody could compete, nobody could copy. And uh that's how we did it. Now, let's quickly talk about the other niche that we have here that is still printing. The reason why I wanted to show you that is because I'm making a prediction now that uh this channel and this niche is going to die out within the next 3 months. The reason for that is first it's been around for a long time and I'm quite surprised that they were doing crazy numbers for such a long period of time. At the beginning I thought that it's a very short-term trend but it turned out that people actually care about psychology. Uh the reason though why I think that uh it's going to die out is because again it's AI. It's very simple to replicate and everybody talks about it. Whenever you see a niche that everybody is obsessing over on Twitter or YouTube, it means that it's probably already too late to get into that niche. So, they create those psychology videos and they make it with their unique AI u avatar so to say, AI influencer. Uh and uh again recently, as you can see, the videos were not performing really well. uh but uh some of their videos uh did like $3 million views which is absolutely crazy. So this channel generated around $70,000. It's still making money so it's still around 20k a months I think last time I checked. Uh but again my prediction right now it's 3 months is uh until this channel dies out. The only way I think they could survive is by inventing something new. So uh this is the stuff that we as content creators, as faceless creators have to always think about. The moment your formats start to die out, you can invent a new format for the same exact target audience and revive the channel. If it doesn't happen, then the channel dies out with the format, but it's not necessary. So if you hop from one format to another and it works because it's it has the same target audience, then you have a way higher chance of making that channel survive while you know the the formats they they come and go. A good example of that is Monkey Explain channel. So this channel generated $50,000. So pretty similar to Psychology Simplified. And the reason why I wanted to show you that is because the trend on monkeys, it was a very old one. And uh I felt like it was also gone. But then the way those guys adapted and actually kept inventing new formats one after another is by using what I call the hype injection. So the hype injection is uh basically a two-step process of how you can bring more views to the channel that is currently either dying or doing you know semi- good numbers. So number one you need to find a working format. For those guys it's monkey explain something but then number two you can inject some hype by adding a celebrity or talking about the news. So u like this channel uh that I used in the example did it with this video every level of uh Illuminati and you know who's uh on the on the thumbnail. Um so that works but then those guys they they just talk about the news. They just take whatever is popular right now whatever is mainstream media is pushing and they adapt it for their own format. This way the target audience of the channel changes with those topics. So whenever there's uh um like war or America doing something crazy or new abstin files or uh whatever is happening in the world economics politics whatever AI these guys monetize from that because again they just adapted for uh their format. This is one of the ways you can keep your channel evergreen and long-term and this is probably one of my favorite ways u and again they generated like $48 uh,000 from this type of content. So again, a very good job uh for them. And I think that uh this channel, Super Comical, is another good example of that. The reason why I wanted to include them is because A, they also generated like $40,000. B they did it with a way shittier quality than for example my channel because I'm in pretty similar niche. I'm not jealous, but uh I I can see how their strategy make a lot of sense. So the way this channel actually create their content is they find a real life footage of an event, let's say like uh a hero saving an old uh dude who who almost fell off the window. Uh they find a real footage, they add it to the end of their video and they reanimate the whole scene. Uh this allows them to again recreate the the footage and show uh interesting things plus also increase the AVD because uh at the end you have basically the same exact clip again. So people watch uh you know for twice as long as they would typically watch a video. And the reason why I think it's longterm is because a it's 3D animation again. So there is a hiring barrier to entry, the skill barrier to entry. But then also they monetize on um hype. They they do those hype injections often whenever there's a new story that comes out of a robbery or um like some um crazy shootout like whatever they can monetize on that so they can keep injecting this hype into their channel. And uh actually with super comical they were struggling with views. I think in December they were struggling with views. uh for some reason their videos were not performing well but then they just kept going and uh the channel blew up uh again. So that's why if we look at the super comical stats we will see that the channel blew up in October then it almost died out in December but then they managed to revive the channel and get it back to 115 million uh million views in uh January. The only channels that can survive that kind of drop are long-term highquality niches. All of the other channels from uh from this list actually died out and pretty quickly and uh there was no way to revive them. Uh but uh channels from that list uh not only uh survived, but uh you can actually revive those if you're using the uh the right strategy. Now uh the third channel, I'm not going to go too deep into that. This one generated $250,000 with commentary. We talked about this uh channel a lot. Uh Infin's Diary. In one month, they managed to generate a billion views. But again, because they do a very very simple commentary videos, the competition eventually uh killed this uh beautiful niche and uh this channel as well. uh and compared to that the uh the the channel about monsters that that is uh long-term keeps printing money and uh they will keep printing for for months because uh a it's 2D animation b it has the higher barrier to entry because of the topic. I really like the channels where you have to be the fan of the niche otherwise you don't really understand it. For example, me personally, I would not be able to make those videos because I have no idea. I don't understand those monsters. I'm not in love with those. Even writing those scripts with the eye is going to be hard for me. So, this is what I call the skill barrier to entry. And this is why uh whenever I speak with clients or my followers as well, I always advise them to go into niches that they are themselves very passionate about because this creates the uh the barrier to entry. This helps you protect the niche long-term from any competition. And if you're looking at this list and you're wondering, Tim, what do I do with all of this information? How do I decide what niches to choose? This is the exact framework that uh me and part of YouTube clients are using to understand where to go depending your stage of your YouTube journey. So, if you're a beginner and you want to start as lean as possible, meaning you don't have any cash to to run a highquality branded YouTube channel, what you should be doing is whiteboard AI animations, AI stories, AI shorts, and commentary shorts. Like, this is where your main goal is to scale the channel to 3 to 5K a month as quickly as possible. Then, squeeze the most out of this channel by using the strategy that Dr. Data used. Either you launch some info product or you sell the channel for 20 30 40 50k at its peak. This is your goal. This is how you get the initial capital to run something sustainable to run something long-term. Uh this is for all of the beginners out there. If you're a beginner or a grinder with a few YouTube channels and let's say 2 to 5k saved up that you can invest in a highquality branded channel, then my recommendation is you should go into 2D animation, short and long form. I did my predictions for 2026 and uh I still believe that 2D animation is going to be the king of this year. So that's very strong niche AI influencers short form and long form as well. Whiteboard animation and uh commentary with animation. Uh and your goals at this stage scale to 10 30k a months uh with one or multiple channels. uh build a multiplatform brand, meaning you want to reuse this content on uh Facebook, Snapchat, Tik Tok. You want to get monetized on all of those platforms. Um launch or affiliate for other info products as well so that you scale past 50K a month with multiplatform brand and eventually you want to sell the channel for 150 200k. This is where your life absolutely changes because imagine you go from uh not knowing YouTube at all to firstly like scaling to 3 5k a month then selling the channel for 20 30 grand then uh transitioning to this stage selling the channel for 200k and then going to the uh most advanced stage of your journey. This is for those of you who are experienced already have multiple channels proof uh you know how YouTube algorithm works already. you have some cash saved up to invest. For those of you who are at this stage already, then I would recommend you 3D animation, short form and long form, and top-notch documentaries. Those channels can generate multiple uh six figures a year, even seven figures a year if done right. And uh those can easily get you to 1 million a year once you launch a multiple channel network. And uh uh each one of those channels uh generate you 10 to 50k. Uh you create teams and uh uh units that are in charge of repurposing this content on multiple platforms. And this is how you scale to 1 million a year. So this is the exact strategy that you need to think of when choosing the niche and then running a channel in that niche. And it's also something that no one is telling you because uh most of the uh videos I see on YouTube, most of the tweets are all about those uh niches, but nobody tells you that it's not sustainable long term and you actually want to transition from this stage to those two as soon as possible by either selling the channel or just squeezing the most out of it and using this cash to reinvest into more highquality branded stuff like here. If you need any help at any point of your journey, if you are a complete beginner or you already want to launch something branded like 2D or you want to go into top-notch 3D highquality channels, then find a link down below. The art of YouTube is uh there to help you out. This is where I personally help you scale past 15K a month with whatever channel from this list you're trying to launch. And we're going to figure out the exact situation you're in. We're going to choose the path that we're going going to go into and we'll set our 90 days plan to hit one of those goals and uh we'll get you there because we did it countless of times with uh previous clients of mine and the portfolio channels that uh currently generate me 700k per year. So, if that's in any of your interest, you'll find a link down below.

From making $58,000 with a simple whiteboard animation to Spanish explainers pulling in 200 grand to the hottest niche in finance. This week we found eight faceless YouTube niches for both shorts and glanc that are making real money right now. And for each one of them, I'm going to break down the format. I'm going to tell you what they're doing wrong. And I'm going to show you how you can bend those niches into uh something new where you will have absolutely no competition. And if you don't know who I am, quick context. I built art warp to over 1.6 million followers and over 300k in revenue in its first year of ever posting content and then we scaled their portfolio of faceless YouTube channels uh branded channels specifically to over 700k uh per year. Then I invented the concept called the niche bending and we hosted a workshop where over 200 people showed up live to uh learn the niche bending system and we even got featured in a Vid IQ video. So, if all of this means something, then it's probably that uh I know what I'm talking about. So, let's get straight into the digest. Our first YouTube channel, Simple, actually, generated $58,000 from a 100 videos. Their best video, how to sleep less and wake up fresh, hit 2.8 million views. And the formula here is very straightforward. They take something that feels hard like sleep, studying, chemistry and reframe it as this is simple actually. And the production itself is literal stick figures on a whiteboard. A team member that can create those videos will cost you less than 800 bucks a month. But here's what's really important about this channel. Their scripts because you have to take genuinely complex topics and make them feel simple without dumbing them down. That's what I call the skill barrier to entry. And this is the kind of barrier that protects the niche from uh future competition and help you make sure that you will monetize the channel for years not only months. Now it's super easy to bend this format. You can run a channel like money is simple actually bending it towards finance. Uh cooking is simple bending it towards food and also social skills are simple actually. This channel will be bent towards psychology. Each one of this is a fresh angle that nobody else is using yet. But do not rush to jump into the first niche that we have here because closer to the end of this digest, I actually have two niches that are absolutely printing right now. So stick with me till the end. Our next YouTube channel, Mr. Sticky, made $197,000 getting almost 40 million total views with long form. And what makes this channel interesting is that it doesn't stick to one topic. They talk about presidents, experiment with their formats, hope on almost every single trend. And the reason why they can do that is because they are plugged in many English-speaking viral YouTube channels and they simply translate their content, reanimate their content for the Spanish market instead of inventing ideas on their own. And this is a textbook example of what I call the target audience. And you take the format that works and you bring it in front of the audience that have never seen it before, for example, because of the language barrier. And if you speak Portuguese, French or German, this could be your blueprint for the first three to $5,000 a month, just take something from English speaking market and bring it to your home country with the same format but different language. Next YouTube channel is one of my favorite bands of all. Kalistanics with the Vander generated $3,000 by turning a male character female. They started not too long ago and they simply took videos from uh Yellow Dup, this channel that recently exploded and adapted it for females. Overall, it's a beautiful idea because a uh girls have a higher RPM and b they're more loyal fans of the channel and many YouTube channels actually overlook targeting females because they're run by men and they naturally talk about the topics that interest themselves. So, the framework or the opportunity there is uh actually very straightforward. Uh take a very popular man-driven uh style or content and uh simply bend it to uh to females. Um this channel generated $3,000 with it, but honestly, they could easily triple that by uh launching a community and or simply affiliating for for one. I think that in 2026 uh it's very stupid to only rely on your AdSense revenue and whenever you have a niche like that where people are coming not to enjoy the entertaining content but to actually get better at something like fitness uh you should be 100% looking for uh either starting your own community or uh selling info or affiliating for uh for something that already exists. Another channel from the same category, Faceless AI investor Alisa generated $22,000 with an astonishing 15 bucks RPM. And her strategy is as simple as you can imagine. They take topics from Nick Invest, another channel optimized for males. They adapt them for females and they generate pictures with Nana Banana, animate them and cop. And then this thing makes them $15,000 from every million views they get. As I said, females have a way higher RPM and they're way more loyal as audience. But uh again, nobody created the channel uh investing channel for females uh before that. So I think it's a beautiful niche band and good lesson for you. Again, fitness finance, we saw two examples today. Uh whatever market you can find where uh it's mainly maledriven content, introduce the new angle, create the band, bend it towards females. Most of the time you'll find a blue ocean uh that you can monetize for yourself. So if you're having hard time coming up with uh content for men, uh maybe just try channels like uh these two and uh let me know the results. Our next YouTube channel generated $3,000 in four months. The numbers are honestly terribly small, but I see a note here that my team added it as a test asking me uh to review the channel and uh tell you why I think only one of their videos exploded. So uh let's look at the channel now and let's do a quick channel review and try to understand why most of their videos suck. So if we go to popular, we can see that one of the videos generated 1.3 million views 3 months ago. and then everything else especially videos that they post uh recently uh are actually not getting any good traction and uh the channel kind of fell off. So the number one thing that I look at is uh thumbnails and uh as we can see this thumbnail outperform everything else and they only replicated it two times. So all other thumbnails have a different style, different structure and this could be one of the reasons whenever you have something that worked uh so well uh you should be doubling down on that instead of uh continuously experimenting uh with that. Plus what I see on 2D channels is that you want to keep the consistency of your formats over and over. So uh because this channel is hopping from one trend to another, it seems like uh they could not build an audience that is interested uh in just one of the topics. And also because I run pretty similar channel uh the art of war. So I kind of know the topic a little bit. And uh looking at this video for example that was posted 3 weeks ago, I definitely think they could do a way better job. Uh because a uh 72 hours awake is not the most catchy phrase about this sniper. This guy I think he killed like 560 people uh without sleeping and uh he shot without scopes. He ate snow uh to remove the st of his breath and uh he did a lot of crazy stuff. So I think that for example for for this thumbnail they could have the same sniper but he could be eating snow. Uh this is the video that um if I were to show you I think it did like 90 million views on my channel and I name it exactly that. So yeah this uh this sniper as you can see 96 million views and uh the hook of the video was literally uh the sniper started eating snow during the battle blah blah blah. The reason why it worked is because it has the curiosity trigger. Whenever you see it you cannot stop watching it. And uh it's the same thing that this video is missing. There is no curiosity behind it. BS is 72 hours awake. Uh what's what it's like to be each legendary sniper. Uh I don't really want to watch this video. And if you compare it to, for example, the most deadliest military units in history and then you have a clear comparison in the thumbnail, it's kind of clear why this video outperformed everything else that uh he has on the channel. Our next YouTube channel put together Usain Bolt and a dog and generated over $25,000 from their race. Overall, Motion Athlete made about $150,000 from over 50 million long for views. But the problem is that uh their videos are one to two minutes long. Uh and uh that's why they have very uh bad RPM. Uh I personally like those hypotheticals. Uh, I have a partner in one of our projects, uh, Mario, and we're actually running a pretty similar channel to this, uh, but with a bit more of like brain rot humor involved. And the good thing about those hypothetical videos is that the most creative person will win the race. So if you consider yourself as a creative one then uh coming up with those ideas and actually making them good is uh going to be quite easy for you and you will beat 99% of the market who uses AI to come up with the same stuff. Uh but it's also a barrier to entry. So for example, if you're not creative, if you cannot come up with those ideas, that's probably not the best niche for you to look into. But talking about the format itself, uh it's pure visuals. There's no voice over. There's no script required. All it basically takes is come up with a catchy idea that people would be interested in like again Usain Bold against the dog and uh uh then just animate it using uh Blender or maybe they use Unreal Engine but I don't see a reason to do that. So just use Blender. It's simpler. Uh you can hire an animator with a good system for about,000 1.2K a month. uh and uh they will be able to produce four to six videos uh meaning you will get a good start for the channel uh but again because it's uh high quality 3D animation and because there is a skill barrier to entry creativity barrier to entry make sure that you actually have all of the resources before you start a channel like this because I recently had a story where a follower of mine came to me and he was four videos deep into the channel that didn't work for him and he was paying 400 bucks for a single video that I would probably pay 80 for. So without the proper hiring system, it probably does not worth it for you to start anything related to animation. We mainly do it by hiring from uh these countries and hiring on Telegram. Uh we don't use Upwork or Fiverr. Those are four, five times more expensive than uh the candidates Telegram for example can provide you with. And if you want to have this unfair advantage in your business, then uh you can check the link down below this video. Um schedule a free call with head of client strategy at the art of YouTube and uh he'll show you exactly how our hiring methods work, but only if you want to go into more complicated niches like this one. Our next YouTube channel is a perfect example why four months matter more than effort because they've been posting 2D animated videos for more than 8 months. Uh putting out about two videos per month and nothing really worked. All of their videos got uh 2,000 views, 3,000 views. So, nothing really stuck and they were very unprofitable until they posted this video that did 219,000 views. And then they doubled down on the format that went crazy and posted this one that did almost 500k views in just 6 days. And the format that I'm talking about here actually came from another channel, the life outline. And what they did is they simply took the thumbnail format and uh the video script structure. They created the same exact video about a different character. And when they saw that it worked out, then they decided to use the uh celebrity and the news drama that is going on right now to get even more attention from potential viewers. This is a very fresh combination that I always recommend people to use whenever they need to boost their YouTube channel performance. So, you take the format that works uh currently. It needs to be a trending format right now and you bend it and you use it with a person or uh a celebrity that is also trending. In this case uh it was uh this guy and the video was every level of uh Illuminati which is again very cool idea posted at the right time with the right format and that's why it blew up to half a million views uh in just six days. I hope that this guy now hires the right team that will allow him to uh scale because posting two videos a month is definitely not enough to make a sustainable income from YouTube. But if he can double down, if you can do uh more of those and uh just develop the topic slowly, then uh it's going to be an amazing win for him. And that's a wrap for today. As usual, I don't want you to copy any of the niches that I've mentioned from above. All you need to do is to think of a creative bend for each one of them and come up with a fresh angle and bend it towards the market where it was never used before. If you still don't know what that means, then you probably haven't watched uh this niche bending video that you can see on the screen. Go check it out now because that's a combination of everything I learned about uh searching and creating faceless YouTube niches. Check it out now.

VIDEO 6
I am the owner of the ROM 3D animation channel. >> You went through the whole Art of YouTube program. >> So, uh you can see we've gained about 200,000 uh subscribers, almost 70 grand in revenue, and about 618 million views. Before I was finding all of the ideas myself, it was at the cost of hours a week just trying to find the ideas. All these sort of fundamentals just saves a ton of time. Like the algorithm was supposed to be down for all shorts creators. >> Yeah. Can you walk us through your results uh that uh and stuff that we've we were able to achieve after you joined the program? All right, welcome everyone. Uh Rom, nice to see you on the interview. Uh thanks for for joining. Uh today we're going to talk about uh you reaching a million subs on uh on YouTube, which by the way is an amazing achievement. Uh so congrats on that. Welcome to the uh to the interview, to the podcast. uh maybe just give a quick introduction to to the audience so uh everyone knows uh who you are and uh what we're doing here. >> Yeah, thank you for having me. Uh my name is Rahm. I am the owner of the ROM 3D animation channel. Uh similar content to the Art of War channel that you have and the Zack Dilm style. Uh, I kind of put my own twist on it because I animated it with my face as a as a personal character uh for branding and long term and yeah, really excited to be here. >> Awesome. And uh uh like one thing I wanted to mention about the like this twist that you did at the very beginning is this way you kind of still made it your personal brand. So, this is one of the rarest cases where you can be a personal brand without being on camera all of the time. So, uh when I saw it, uh I was actually I remember how impressed I was because I was like, "Wow, like you can put out like three videos a day, two videos a day without ever pulling up a camera and shooting yourself." So, >> yeah, that that was the point. That was really why I did it because uh I don't know if you've seen in my channel before. This was like a few years ago. I used to make videos with my face and I just realized that it was just not something I wanted to do long term because you got to look pretty. You got to have 10 different cameras and the quality and lighting and clothes and I was just like not wanting to do that long term. So I also realized the value of fa your face and of your voice and of building a brand and followers and whatever. And so I knew I needed to sort of do something about that. Um, and so the animation was just a cool way where Zach was doing, you know, animation content, but it was just like random guys he got from like, I don't know, certain websites or he made himself, whatever, but none of them were like where you can create like a bonding and like a relationship and consistency. Um, and that's where I thought like, hey, I can just record these videos with a microphone. I can be anywhere in the world and all I have to do is just make that character one time and then you know the animators can change the clothes or any of that stuff and just sort of scale from there, >> right? Yeah. And that's basically what's going to be a huge win for you long term because uh essentially that's what people are looking when they're let's say marketing directors when they're signing up that those brand deals and then potentially for the merch and etc. So there are way more options for you to monetize this moving forward as your personal brand, not as some faceless YouTube channel, but in general, you're basically running it as a completely automated like faceless channel, but with your face. So that's uh something very exciting. Um all right. So uh the way I wanted to structure it and uh the stuff that I wanted to talk about is you went through the whole art of YouTube program um so to say and uh we started working since uh September this year. Uh and the first thing that I wanted to understand and kind of also show to uh to the people um can you walk us through where were you before joining the program? So like what was the state of the channel? what were your main kind of u struggles or maybe wins uh etc. Maybe you remember where were you in terms of like the amount of followers and everything just so we kind of set up the scene and understand like where were you before we started working together. I don't remember exactly how many followers I had. Um I had a pretty solid knowledge of social media and how the algorithm worked. So uh I think on Instagram I got a video that got like a 100 million views or something like that with the 3D content. Um, but it was just more of like the systems uh that I think really helped me just free up a lot of time and just have more confidence in focusing on the long-term stuff. Uh, cuz I used to write I used to find every idea. I used to write every script. I used to uh I used to just message everyone on Discord. Um, they would just send me the links when they were done and it was not like a a clear system. And so I had a lot of the fundamentals, but just sort of like packaging it properly as like a real business, like you always say, I think was was a really important step. Um, so it it was flowing like we were still getting videos out, but it wasn't like a stable system, I would say. >> Yeah. And why did it bother you at this point? like uh did you kind of try to scale and then it was impossible because of all of this like math mass and inconsistency or what was the point where you were like okay cool I need the system for this >> yeah so I mean I I wanted to scale but even at the rate that I was doing it at right now at that point it was just such a headache because there was just no organization like we had times where we just couldn't post a video because we didn't have one like we were very uh dayto-day in terms of like animation that we can post. Um, and now obviously we have backlogs, we have systems, we have schedules, uh, which again just helps focus a little bit more. Um, and even though it's technically like the same amount of work, it's just the amount of head space it clears for me to go do other stuff or, you know, instead of finding all the ideas, now I'm just approving the ideas. So that takes hours less per week. >> Um, while obviously still giving me the creative control and and to maintain the quality. Um but just saving a lot of time and and headache in the process. >> Yeah, exactly. And uh are you like would you describe yourself as more like a creative person or more like the the person that enjoys the the business side of things? >> Um I would say I'm a little bit of both. I definitely fall more on the creative side. Um I do love the business side as well. I'm just not much of a uh >> like an Excel spreadsheet guy. I know like that's that's your thing. And so I knew essentially like I have really good ideas. I have a vision for what a video should look like. I know what a video looks like that's going to go viral. But just to be able to um know your numbers better, to know your schedule better, to know how you can improve. I think whatever you don't track, you can improve. And so I was >> exactly >> like I was good, but I I was just like sporadic like numbers without like I know what I'm doing. I just wasn't able to know how to improve at scale and reliably. And I think that's what again I was the creative side. I know you really like with numbers organization and so I just needed that extra piece um to help go to the next level. >> Right. Right. I see. And then uh do you remember approximately because uh obviously like the exact number is uh it was like four months ago but uh do you remember approximately how many videos uh you were doing per month at that time like let's say the in the month of August and then uh can you give us like a brief breakdown of uh let's say the uh the revenue and the views back then >> in August let me see if I can if I can find it. Um, so I I was at a point where I was posting one a day before August and then August I decided to um go every other day cuz my goal was to build up a backlog. >> Um, >> and then uh and then yeah, obviously like cuz the team was just so it was so difficult to coordinate a schedule with the team to get a post out every single day. So, I was like, if I just keep my same schedule and I just post every other day, then I'll be able to uh have I I pretty much forced the backlog in exchange for posting every single day. >> Um, and then I got to a point, you know, with the systems where I was able to post every day consistently um and get back to that one a day. And then I've tried also doing twice in one day as well, and we can talk about that um how that worked out. But um yeah, an average one to every other days depending on the month around there. >> Makes sense. So like 14 15 videos. Uh and then obviously uh now you're able to post more than that. Now we kind of scaled back a little bit because of the current state of the algorithm etc. Uh that makes sense. Uh but then uh you also had this story like this constraint for uh for the script writers. So, like can you walk me through uh you actually like writing all of those scripts and obviously as a creative person uh for us because I also think that there is a part of me who is creative. I'm not only like the the spreadsheets guy but like that's my favorite part but then I also kind of enjoy the scripts but uh what was stopping you from that side? So like you you were doing it you were doing everything by yourself and obviously as creative people we kind of enjoy that but then there was also a constraint for the business. So uh u what was the problem there and uh then can you walk me through how we like how is it structured now in in in the company? >> Yeah. So before I was finding all of the ideas myself, which was good because I can only pick the the best ideas possible, but it was at the cost of hours a week just trying to find the ideas, trying to go to other pages and uh go to other ideas that came up in my head or other references that I've done before. Um and now we have, you know, our idea/script guy. Um I'm very particular with uh my scripts. So whenever the script writer will send them in, I will usually just sort of like tweak things and like format them a little bit differently. But like it it makes it a lot easier for me because number one, the idea is already there. And then also we have a base of like the three or four key details for the story or for the for the video. And so if I had to figure that out myself, it would take me a lot longer. But it's just with me personally, I'm more of like a perfectionist. So I actually do end up going and changing a little stuff but still does save a ton of time. >> Yeah. So basically the process right now looks like uh he comes up with ideas and he like assigns them uh in a in a spreadsheet and then obviously you approve the ones that you like the most. Then he writes the scripts and then you only like make changes to perfect uh the script. Right. >> Yeah. Exactly. Again, it's uh >> it it's hard. Like I wish I could let go a little bit more with in terms of the scripts, but I just again because we're also right now only posting like seven videos a week. Like I can't afford to have a script just like be okay. So, uh we're really we're shooting for the the best in the quality and then also in the quality of the scripts as well. >> Right. Right. And then how does it feel from the creative perspective? Because I know for at least for me at the at the very beginning it was very hard to let go even this like smallest tasks but do you like do you actually feel like you now have more leverage within the business and you kind of still have this creative ownership of what's going on but you don't spend that much time. Do do you feel that? >> Yeah. I mean the the ideas uh the idea guy and the script guy it's it's definitely helping me to cuz I feel like I can maintain the level of creativity because at the end of the day I approve the final script. So it's not like a bad idea is ever going to sort of pass through. So the quality technically stays the same. Um and essentially he'll send you know anywhere from 20 25 30 ideas whatever per week and then I get to pick the best of the best of the best of the best. Um, and so the the ideas stay the same and then the quality of the script stays the same because he gets the key the key details. He'll write the script and then I make sure it's perfect. So I get the same outcome with less in like there is still involvement in for me but just less steps >> overall that I have to do. And then again that allows me to focus on things like um improving the actual animation quality, right? Because even if he makes a perfect script or whatever, I still have to make sure the watch time is good, the swipe is good. But if I was spending hours a day just writing the script from scratch or getting the ideas from scratch, I wouldn't have time to go to that other side of things. So, it's been really helpful that way. >> Right. Right. I see. Uh and then if you were to describe uh the biggest insight or let's say system level shift that uh that you went through uh throughout uh the program or us working together. What would you say was the the biggest change? >> I think the biggest thing for me is just uh just tracking your numbers uh tracking everything essentially because I used to just sort of wing it because I was >> talented creatively and I knew what worked. Um, but that's not how to how to grow and scale. Like just having those oneoff random ones because it happened to work right that time with all the numbers. Like it's not a sustainable way to grow long term. So I just needed to essentially channel that uh that energy into something proven, trackable, consistent. Um, and just really in in all areas just knowing knowing your numbers, right? Like I there there was a point where the a few months ago or even recently like the algorithm was supposed to be down for all shorts creators >> and I was like oh not my fault. Videos just suck. And then I looked at the data. I'm like wait like I actually suck too. Like it's not just the the the videos the algorithms fault. >> And so it just allows you to get a deeper picture and make better decisions instead of just sort of like putting your hands up and saying I don't. It just gives you better insight. >> Yeah. I agree. I agree. Okay, makes sense. Uh and then uh tracking the data. Uh that's one thing, but also like what I was uh what I was asking and uh trying to break down just so we also make it like a little bit more like valuable for the people watching because I know that there's a bunch of creative people in in my audience, those who are like uh maybe editing the videos themselves or just trying to let go, but they they they couldn't really, you know, they they couldn't do it in the past. So they kind of gave up on this and they keep uh grinding those channels themselves. So what were the main like three five like key action steps that we actually took that was uh that that were a game changer for you in terms of uh okay cool now I can let go now I can run it as a business and as you said I can now focus on a picture like I can zoom out and look at the look at the numbers look at the stats and really uh kind of manage the caster instead of like just playing in it. Yeah, I I think definitely hiring uh was a big part of that and I think uh the animation and brand guide that we created really helped. >> Um >> because >> I used to have to when I would review videos, which I still do today, but when I was reviewing videos, I used to have to essentially like remind the team about like a hundred different points. And so now I just kind of like here's the guide, do it. And now I'm just focusing mo the goal is to mostly focus on the top of the top of the top creative things where they might not always think about it. Um and uh and yeah, so really going deep on your brand identity, your brand style, certain animation mistakes, you know, that that other uh channels do or that I used to do in the past. um volume level, just all these sort of fundamentals just saves a ton of time and allows me to make my reviews just only about what moves the needle forward at like the highest level. >> Yeah. Basically being an owner of the channel, not like an operator inside of it. That makes sense. Um okay, cool. And uh let's get to the to the most exciting part. Let's get to the most interesting part. Uh so can you walk us through your results uh that uh and stuff that we've we were able to achieve after you joined the program. So I know uh there were quite a few like financial wins for you but then there was also a big win like brandwise. So uh can you walk walk us through that and maybe like even share your screen and share your stats? >> Yeah. So uh obviously the biggest one is hitting a million subscribers. That was a goal we had uh when we first started working together. Uh we we just made it but we made it which is which is all that matters. Um I wrote uh actually even before we started working together in July that I had a goal of reaching um 200,000 followers on Instagram, 250,000 on Facebook uh and obviously a million on YouTube. And the 200,000 on Instagram we literally hit like January 1st or January 2nd. 250,000 followers on Facebook we hit I think like a few days ago and the YouTube we hit obviously like right before the new year. Uh so those numbers have been good. Um overall I think uh on average we probably around like on all platforms uh anywhere from 400 million to 600 million views a month. Uh Facebook right now is >> almost I think like 200. Instagram's another 150 200. YouTube right now is down but about 80 85. Um, and then Snapchat again another 60 70. It really depends on on the month to be honest. They all vary, but on average it's been looking pretty solid. Um, and again RPMs are different on on all those. It's kind of hard to to tell. Um, and then just going from you said it was August. So, uh, you can see we've gained about 200,000 uh subscribers, almost 70 grand in revenue, and about 618 million views. >> Nice. Um, so it's been it's been pretty good. Obviously, again, like we've said, like just been kind of down recently because of uh bunch of different reasons. Um, >> yeah, the the AI slope and the algorithm besides just uh, you know, us constantly working on improving the videos, the AI slope did hit uh the 3D niche kind of kind of a lot. my channel is also down. So, it's uh uh it's been here here and there recently. But uh I really like to see how let's say our first u let's say couple of I think it was like 45 days that it took us to go uh for to reach 20 I think we did like 22k or something a month uh which we also tried to hit at the very beginning and then we did it in like you know 45 days or so. Was that was that October? >> Yeah, it was like 15k first months and then I think uh um like >> yeah 26k that was uh that was that was a good months. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Very nice. And then also like honestly looking at your uh your stats and uh like we won't go too deep into other platforms obviously but uh uh with your brand with the stuff that we mentioned at the very beginning you being a personal brand you also unlocked yourself way bigger opportunities outside YouTube. So your Snapchat, your Facebook, uh obviously you're quite big on Instagram. Unfortunately Instagram doesn't pay uh just yet. Maybe they they will uh but uh uh you know you having those monetization sources allows you to kind of endure the you know the problems of the YouTube algorithm with more ease so to say. >> That's what I call it just like weathering the storm. I think uh other than Zach uh and maybe you most people are are not on Facebook which I think is extremely like underrated right now. >> Yeah. Um, and then again, like if if something happens where there's like a two, three month period like this where YouTube is testing or they're trying to figure something out and the costs they they don't go down, the costs stay the same. And so it's like if you can't weather that storm, then, you know, there's been a lot of channels that you and I have seen in in our niche where they just couldn't handle it and they left. And so I think it's just a huge positive uh for me as well just to be able to diversify horizontally as well and not really rely on one platform, one monetization, one sort of thing like that and and that way like you know Facebook can can make up for the YouTube losses and and then when all of them pump like it just makes it that much sweeter, you know. >> Yeah, that's uh that's exactly what I like about your brand. All right, cool. uh do you uh do you want to share a couple of like goals like how do you see your channel in the next uh in in the next couple of years because you know unlike other people who are just uh using YouTube as a way to you know make a uh a quick quick buck here and there we're actually building those brands like long-term and we're thinking about its future. So uh if you're open to like uh do you mind sharing like a couple of goals like how do you see your channel within the next couple of months or maybe years? >> Yeah. So for me obviously like with the rise of AI like everything is going to be commoditized like every AI even our videos eventually are going to be able to be replicated. I think yeah >> on in my opinion the the only thing that won't be able to be replicated is uh like IP and just brand building over the years. So obviously once everything calms down with this YouTube chaos, the goal is to get, you know, back up to twice per day um and just keep improving the content that way. Um potentially uh continuing to expand in new formats like like we've spoken about with >> y of course >> maybe uh I I think we've spoken about like images on Facebook and some other cool stuff like that. Um, but essentially just building it to a point where if or when AI is able to replicate our style of videos that people will see my face and my voice and choose to watch me anyways. And I think that can't happen right away. It just comes with the pattern of people seeing your face, your colors again and again and again. So, it's just however I can do that. Um, which is pretty much post as many viral videos as possible. >> Yeah. try to increase ways to build brand, build community, um, and all that stuff. That's essentially how, uh, that's essentially the plan. But at the end of the day, no one really knows what's going to happen. >> Yeah. But uh I can tell for sure that the the channels like yours and uh uh and my for example, they they going to survive those storms and we we just have to endure like the ups and downs of the algorithm. But overall, we're building brands and what's uh that's the differentiator and that's why you know a million subs is not the you know the the limit for us like we can go like two five 10 who knows how uh how much more we can uh we can get from this but um all right that was that was amazing. Thank you for for sharing the results. Thank you for for sharing the the stats as well. I think for for many people that was uh insightful for those who um who like wanted to build a a brand a personal maybe but then without the you know the downside of having you know be being on the camera. So uh thank you so much for coming uh thank you for for the interview and uh yeah let's uh wrap it up. If you if you have something to say as a last word then go ahead. >> Nothing much. Uh thank you for having me. Really appreciate it and uh yeah this is just a start. Yeah, it is. All right, then.

Everyone is talking about the YouTube algorithm. YouTube creators are in full panic mode right now. Something huge just happened on YouTube. The biggest YouTube algorithm update. YouTube changed. YouTube has changed. >> And it's because of one reason. The YouTube algorithm has actually changed. And I have data from over 500 faceless YouTube channels that my team and I found, tracked, and analyzed, and over 5 billion views that I got myself across four different portfolio channels that I run. and the seven key algorithm changes that we uncovered were so mind-blowing that we had to let go half of our team while preparing for what's coming in 2026. As usual, we'll start with the simpler updates and changes and go all the way up to the gamechanging ones at the end of this video. And the first update is the satisfaction shift. So, previously the algorithm worked like this. your video was 10 minutes long and uh if you were able to uh sustain the average view duration at 5, 7, 8 minutes, basically the closer you got to 10, the better for the YouTube algorith because the algorithm rewarded you for keeping the viewer on the platform for longer. But right now, because Gemini is now in charge of the YouTube algorithm, it now understands whether you click off the video because you got bored or because you got exactly what you needed it. I'll give you an example. Let's say you were searching something on YouTube, how to fix a specific part of your car, and you find a video that is 2 hours long, but you only need 2 minutes of it. So if you watch the video, if you watch the 2 minutes that you needed and you stop searching, Gemini understands that you fulfilled your request and there was no need for you to watch the other 28 minutes of this video and it will actually reward the video because it satisfied you. So the way the algorithm works right now is the retention is no longer required. It's not the only goal. If the user finds a quick answer and leaves satisfied, which is again determined by the Gemini AI, uh the algorithm rewards the video uh rather than punishing it for the short watch time. And what you actually should do with this information is stop fluffing your interest or dragging out videos to hit 8, 20, 22 minutes. Focus on needs met and viewer satisfaction. If you answer the viewer's question in 2 minutes, then make it the best 2 minutes. It doesn't make sense to drag out the video just to hit better watch time. The massive change number two is multimodel intent understanding. So, YouTube couple years ago was very simple. There were tags and keywords that you put in the description to tell the algorithm what your video is about. This one is not required anymore because Gemini instead of looking at your tags and uh looking at your video description, it scans through your video, it understands what you're talking about. So, it understands all of the verbal information, but it also scans the visual part of your video and it creates an understanding of the intent behind your video. So if uh with your video you wanted to entertain or solve a specific problem or educate a viewer about something, the AI will know that and it will use this as a reason to show or not show your video to specific audiences. In a way, the algorithm became way smarter right now. But at the same time, it kind of forces you to think about different uh things. So instead of spending hours trying to figure out the right description, title or keywords, actually make your videos great and make sure that they satisfy a specific avatar. It's now more important than ever to understand who is watching your videos and why they do it and give them exactly what they need. This way the AI will connect your video to entities meaning topics and related creators automatically and you will get traffic from their channels by simply posting videos about the same thing or they will satisfy the same viewers. Change number three is a bit smaller but it's still very interesting one. Gemini now scans your comment section. So pretty much the same way it now scans the video. It will also analyze what do people say about your video in a comments and higher engagement that is negative is now actually going to make Gemini punish your video for not being satisfying enough. So, if you used to make money by bullshitting people, posting complete lies and uh uh politics scandals only for views and most of your comment section is actually negative, Gemini will limit the amount of traffic that these videos get. On the other side, if you do get a lot of uh love in the comments and people are absolutely amazed by your videos and they show the viewer satisfaction in the comment section, then your videos are going to get pushed more because Gemini understands that this particular video satisfies the specific group of people, meaning you have a chance of reaching more of those with this type of content. And a few little tricks that you can do about it is uh you can pin a question uh that kind of incentivize the viewers to share their positive feedback or you can actually reply to some of the viewers in the first hour of the video being public so that more people see that you're active in the comment section and more of them start sharing their feedback and if it's positive then Gemini will keep pushing those videos forward. So treat the comment section pretty much the same way you treated tags and keywords before because it now matters even more than tags or keywords of uh your channel. Now important change number four is instead of using the video to video algorithm, YouTube now uses user to user algorithm. So to understand how it works now, we need to remember how it worked before. video to video meant that the moment you start searching specific videos on YouTube, you get shown a bunch of different videos about the same topic. So, let's say I wanted to learn card tricks and I started searching about cards and I watched one video then another and then after a while, YouTube will turn my feed into a bunch of videos about cards. But now instead of looking at the video topics and linking them together, YouTube actually looks at what similar users do with this type of content. So in order to explain you how it works, let's imagine that everyone who was searching card tricks in a couple of days after that started also researching tricks with uh with coins. Meaning YouTube will take all of the card videos and it will link together with the coin videos because now it kind of makes sense because YouTube understands that uh the someone who is interested in cards in a couple of days or weeks is going to be interested in coins. So instead of showing you a bunch of card videos that you're not interested anymore, it will show you the coin videos, which means that uh you can predict what other topics or channels your audience watches and you can bridge your content with them, making sure that YouTube sends you the traffic that you actually want on your channel. And this AI is actually getting out of hands because I had a situation with my girlfriend where uh she talked to me about the amount of milk that we should put like we we wanted to make some pancakes and she literally just asked me like what is the amount of milk we should put uh in uh in the pancakes and uh again this was like pretty normal like day-to-day conversation but then she went on YouTube and uh tried to search it up and because YouTube is also listening to you through the iPhone mic. Uh when she put like she never like searched it before. It was like the first time we were doing it, right? So when she put how in the search like only how YouTube automatically filled it with how much milk to put in the pancakes. Meaning YouTube now understands the environment around you and it will give you the videos that you need based on everything that happens in your life. based on what you say, based on what you search on Google, based on what you do on Google Maps, it will give you only the videos that you need the most by scanning what's inside the video, by understanding the environments around you and matching those perfectly. And what this means to creators is that all of the channels that used to trick the viewer into thinking that they need a video will now fail miserably because uh YouTube will understand on a way deeper level what the viewer satisfaction actually is. And then all of the highquality creators that met the users expectations and provided them with the exact content they actually needed, they going to be rewarded with even more traffic. So, it's probably the best time right now to start a high quality branded channel that talks about one specific topic for one specific target audience than ever before because uh again, YouTube will spend no time figuring out exactly who you uh need to show your videos to and it will do the job for you. And one quick tip on bridging your audience, you can actually go in your analytics. You can scroll the audience all the way down to see the channels your audience watches. And this one is now more important than ever before. You need to analyze all of the channels that your audience watches together with your content. And you need to come up with a way to bridge your content with theirs. Because the moment you start talking about similar topics or the moment you start satisfying the same audience, YouTube is going to give you the same amount of traction that they get. And if you do it to not only one competitor but five or 10 competitors, you're going to collect all the traffic from their pages and you're going to bring it to yours. Because if the channel appears here, it means that there is already an overlap in the audience. And if you do meet the certain criteria and satisfy the same viewers, you can increase the overlap slowly eating the audience from other channels and showing your videos to them as well. The important change number five, the AI slope and loweffort channels are now being flagged and uh shadowbanned. So recently YouTube has upgraded its repetitive content and AI generated content detection and uh channels that are using 100% AI voices, stock footage, uh charg scripts and uh other videos that don't look like human was taking a part of it. Uh now all of those channels being demonetized or suppressed uh in a fit. So finally, YouTube is taking some steps to fight back and uh do something about those AI slop videos that doesn't bring any value to the platform. And uh it's actually a very good step that I'm sure every platform will soon take uh on a very serious level. Uh asop is getting out of hands and finally it's getting nerfed a little bit. So, what you should do if you're running some kind of a channel like that, make sure that your AI slot videos actually bring some value to the platform and actually do something new. For example, uh this channel that we talked about multiple times about the viral AI skeleton and all obviously all of the adaptations like Skelea Pets that did like 30 million views with just nine videos. Those videos are also AI generated but because of the narration, the script, the idea and the high quality of AI animations, it brings the value to the platform. It satisfies some viewers and most of the comments are actually positive because they do bring something new uh to the platform. Those channels will strive while crazy AI videos that uh that means absolutely nothing will finally get uh either demonetized or suppressed uh in a feed. Number six, a very important update as well. uh I call it the content wall because right now YouTube doesn't treat your videos uh in a similar way. Instead of giving a chance for every single video to go viral and get some extra traction, uh it now analyzes your entire content library clusters, which means that uh it allows you less experiments across multiple formats and uh it prioritizes channels that stay very consistent with their formats. Meaning instead of creating five different videos about five different topics, uh you'll get more views by creating three different videos in two different formats uh and consistently repeating uh the formats that your audience like over and over again. Uh if you look at the Mr. Beast for example, it's probably the best example. You'll see a couple repet of repetitive formats like $1 jet or hotel room or whatever versus $1 million jet hotel room, etc. you will probably see a bunch of different challenges etc. So the game of YouTube right now is choosing three to five formats that you will constantly repeat that your audience will like that you will then connect in a minieries of videos and this will allow YouTube to link them together and you'll be sure that the moment someone enjoys one of them they will actually be shown all other videos from the same series which will give them even more views. So, if you want to do the experiments, allow every single category of yours to have at least three to five videos that you're experimenting with before you decide whether you want to dabble down on the format or drop it. But try to avoid the situation where you only have 10 videos on the channel and all 10 of them are absolutely different. Number seven, we actually get very spicy here because this one is uh going to change uh the way you should approach uh strategy and uh in general content creation session success over single video success. Right now, it's more important than ever to make sure that uh you do not just satisfy the viewer within one video, but you actually take him from the homepage or from the short speed, you bring them to your channel and you satisfy them with another piece of your content. Meaning the best sign that your content is good for YouTube is when someone watches one of your videos, ideally get satisfied and then watches another one that you either show them as an endcreen uh video or you add as a related video when we're talking about shorts. But you need to take a viewer from a viral feed and you want to bring them to your feed where they're going to get the satisfaction uh that they're searching for. If YouTube manages to see that you're satisfying viewers in that way and you're funneling the audience towards your channel, your videos are going to get way more exposure because this is what YouTube is now optimizing for. They need this satisfied sessions and the creators who manage to satisfy the same audience with multiple videos are going to win by a lot. So when thinking about your content strategy, design the binge path and every video should uh mention the next step video that they can watch in the last 30 seconds of it or at least have a related video as a short that viewers will also enjoy especially if it's the video from the same category. Number eight, now we reach the bonus part. So the a change is the device specific habit tracking meaning that YouTube now treats different platforms differently. If you as a viewer have a habit of opening your phone and scrolling through shorts, but then coming back home and watching long form 2-hour videos on TV, you will actually have significantly different homepages and recommendations on both of those devices. So, it will track exactly what you like the most on a specific device and it will give you the type of content that you enjoy at the right moment. And for a creator like yourself, it means that if you're posting two-hour long uh highquality 4K videos, you're probably not going to get traffic from mobile phones that much. And most of your traffic will come from TV. And if you optimize for that audience, then go to your analytics and actually see when those people are watching your videos and then drop the video like one or two hours before they show up online. Because on TV we can probably guess that most of the viewers enjoy content during weekends or uh during evening times and on their phones it's typically 15 minutes uh here and there uh which means that posting time doesn't matter that much. So check your device type analytics and uh if your audience is mostly on TV make videos longer and more cinematic and if they're more on mobile uh then use large onscreen text and uh faster pacing because that's what the audience enjoys uh in those formats. And finally, the most important one, uh, the shorts views update that was actually found by Mario, but uh, because I run a art of war with a channel with over 4 billion views, I managed to check it for myself and I can 100% confirm that uh, this change uh, did take place. So, what Mario recommends in one of his tweets is that uh basically YouTube is now prioritizing newer shorts and shorts that were on the platform for longer than uh 30 days are are getting deprioritized and YouTube stopped giving them views after 28 to 30 days period. Uh I went on to check this on my channel. So as you can see here art were and uh the change happened in September and you can see how many views those shorts were getting during June, July and uh in previous months as well and you can see also that after September it completely died out. So this is when the change happened and if before shorts were considered pretty much uh the same way as long form and uh they the lifetime of a short was uh very long. You know shorts could could get views for years. Uh and that was unique for YouTube because on Instagram and Tik Tok videos used to die out within a couple of days, sometimes weeks but never years. On YouTube, it was different. And this is what I loved YouTube for because you can post a short and it will generate you money and views for literally for years. Now they seem to test or you know completely move towards a different direction. So they're going the Tik Tok way. They now are going to kill YouTube shorts after 30 days. So they prioritize newer content. And as you can see here, like the change is very significant from um millions of views per day to literally like not even like hundreds of thousands. So the change is very significant and uh they're going to prioritize newer content. the way it's going to affect your content schedule. If you want to get the same numbers, you have to post more content which requires you to lower the expectations from the quality and changes most of the strategies to more like spammy ones like Tik Tok ones. When you post five videos a day, lower quality, but then all of them get average number of views that will literally make you uh the same amount of views per months but uh with a way lower quality. In my opinion, they have to reverse it. This is one of those changes uh that I don't like, but it seems to be the case and uh the more we go into 2026, the more I believe that uh they will just keep it like that. So, they want the short feed to have newer content while the long form feed is going to continue being evergreen like uh it used to be before. But all of those changes does not matter if you operate in a saturated simple niche because no matter how you optimize your video for the algorithm, it's going to flop because of uh the niche that you operate in. And this is why I want to invite you to the niche bending workshop that we're hosting on February 25th where I'm going to personally break down the niche bending strategy that allows me to create new niches instead of copying someone else. I will also give you 500 plus handpicked branded YouTube niches that you can take as inspiration right now. Create your own niche bands and dominate those niches, monopolize those niches before everyone else. And the way we're going to do it is by actually adding you to a private niche bending boot camp where for two weeks I'm going to coach you on how to choose the right niche, how to validate it using the checklists and then also how to use AI to create as many new niches as you want. Uh this is something that we did with dozen of my clients. Some of them are now making uh tens of millions of views per months. Some of them generate thousands of dollars. Recently, one of them uh got to 900 bucks in his first ever day of being monetized. And these are the kind of results you can expect when you choose the right niche. So, you'll find the link down below this video. Go check it out. Grab your workshop ticket. I'll see you there live on February 25th and in the Telegram chat specifically for members of this workshop. I'll see you there.

Every single week, my team and I research hundreds of faceless YouTube niches, add them to our niche hunter database, and constantly track their numbers. We do this with a single goal, finding the best niches and channel outliers on the market, so you can simply copy what works for them and start printing views in less than the months. So, this week, out of 67 niches that we've added to the database, we chose seven with the most viral potential that I'll show you in this video. Our first YouTube channel makes $4,000 a month posting simple skeleton pets made with the eyes. Most popular short got 23 million views and overall he posted only 13 videos. The format initially blew up after Dr. Data uh started posting anatomy videos that we broke down in one of our previous digests. After that, everyone started using the same format for finance space or pets like in this case. I call this simple strategy niche bending and it works like this. You spot a trend early on and uh find one key element of its success. In this case, its unique AI skeleton format. Then you bend this format towards a niche where it was never used before like anatomy bend towards pets or towards finance. This way, instead of copying what someone else is already doing, you open a new category for yourself and create a blue ocean. talking about impact and how our niche digests shift the market. This channel got 300,000 views, got monetized, and made $2,000 from its first ever video because they used the format and niche that I recommended. A few weeks ago, I publicly said that whoever uses this uh POV format next is going to blow up. Back then, there was already a channel that took an advantage of it and got 1.7 million views right after my advice. But this guy started from scratch. He hired a 2D animator with a very basic skills. Uh used AI for voice over scripts and thumbnails. And eight days later, his video now sits at 300,000 views. And it's his first ever upload posted on this channel. That's why I always say that the right niche at the right time can change the trajectory of your YouTube journey forever. This is for all faceless YouTubers or those who want to start. I scaled art of war to $270,000 in AdSense revenue, Zack Films to over 65 grand and other channels to multiple five figures a month because we only invest into niches that are guaranteed to work. This is why on February 25th, I'm hosting a live niche bending workshop where I'm going to give you three key things. Number one, a database of 500 readytouse handpicked branded niches that are blowing up right now. Number two is my niche bending strategy to create new niches instead of blindly copying. And number three, my personalized AI niche bending assistant that will create unique faceless niches for you. All of this come with a bonus of two weeks of the niche bending boot camp that we host in a private Telegram chat. The total value of all the bonuses is easily $2,000. But if you join today, you can secure all of them for just 97 bucks. Scan this QR code you can see on the screen to get one of the 100 limited spots or find the link in the description to join me live on February 25th. This Faceless AI channel generated $116,000 posting simple AI factory videos. Their most popular video got 19 million views and made them over $56,000. The content itself is very low effort. You can ask Chad GPT to create 100 similar prompts and uh then simply generate images and uh animate them. Very simple. Don't even want to break it down. But posting content like this goes against the YouTube policies. So you're often forced to use tricks like hiring real people to record channelers, privating some videos, and expecting to be demonetized at any moment. It's risky, but for some people it's worth it. And if you don't want to risk like that, then there is another option. high quality branded channels. These are long-term channels posting real valuable content while getting the same views or even better views and generating the same money. Our next YouTube channel generated $12,000 in its first months of ever posting content. They make simple 2D animated stories explaining how different gangs operate from the inside. Their most popular video generated 3.4 million views and covered the Mexican cartel. Because the channel is only 3 weeks old right now, it's the best time to bend this format towards another niche and create a blue ocean for yourself. For example, instead of talking about ranks in gangs, you could bend this niche towards showing different levels of security in places like White House, ranking dark web criminals, or showing the path of smugglers. These are just three potential niche bands. But what we already see works in a niche is uh showing levels of uh something in ranks. But because the format is still fresh, you can easily find 10 more niche bands using our frameworks. This wholesome brain rot video got 87 million views and made this creator almost $3,000. Every single week there is a new creative way of using AI generated content to make thousands of dollars. Last week it was Monkeykey's Journey. Now it's this. Overall, it's not a good idea to jump into niches like that, they often get demonetized or removed. But if you're lucky and your idea is strong enough, uh there's a small chance you can make money for a few months. My general advice is to avoid the risk and use proven highquality formats like 2D animation. It's not expensive and uh you'll be able to monetize your channel for years instead of months. But if you desperately need to make your first few thousand dollars, then definitely use AI uh to secure this capital and then invest it in branded channels. Finally, something interesting happened in 3D space. A YouTube shirt channel posted seven videos and got 12 million views by animating space experiments people have never thought of. The strategy they're using is the one I've been preaching for years. They took what works for channels like Art of War and bent the format towards a new content category like space. Because they likely have knowledge or genuine interest in the topic, they managed to come up with very good ideas that got two, three, or even 6 million views. That's why I always recommend taking a piece of paper, breaking down your own interests and skills, and finding a format you can bend towards a niche you're actually passionate about. Because YouTube is a game of creativity, not just money. And the best results we see within the Art of YouTube coaching program are actually coming from people that are genuinely passionate about what they do. Our next faceless YouTube channel is an absolute banger. If you're searching for the niche, this is probably one of the best channels to study right now. DK Falcon creates 3D animated videos that get millions of views and generate thousands of dollars because of a simple strategy nobody seemed to notice. While everyone else in the football niche struggles with views posting uh simple commentary videos, [music] they added 3D and 2D animation to explain complicated tactics. This made their videos more interesting to the general audience and increase the barrier to entry, making it a perfect niche. And the best thing is you can literally take the same approach and apply it to the NFL, basketball, or even golf. Choose a sport with a strong QS audience for a better RPM and enjoy an untapped format that hasn't been widely used in this niches yet. Now, these were only seven out of all the niches my team and I added to the database where we currently track over 500 branded faceless YouTube channels that are blowing up right now. If you want access to this database and have 30 to 40 new niches delivered to you every single week, then find the first link in the description, join the niche bending workshop and grab the database before we increase the price. The link is down below. I'll see you in the next

This YouTube shirt was posted 180 days ago and it made me $7.8,000. Here's another one that was posted on a different channel, got 83 million views and generated us $7.9,000. And this is another one that almost got 100 million views and generated $7.2,000. All three of these videos were created using the same strategy, prompts, and systems. So today I'm going to show you the seven key principles that allow me to make $23,000 with just three YouTube shirts. And if you don't know who I am, my name is Tim. I run Art of War, Zack Films, and a portfolio of faceless YouTube channels that does over 700K per year. And let's start with the most important principle, niche selection. You see, I'm a huge believer that your niche has to be complicated. Uh I'm going to give you an example. Recently, there was a channel that absolutely exploded. It's all over my Twitter timeline right now. Everyone talks about his success. So, Dr. Data went from zero to half a million followers with only 59 videos. And all of those videos are made with AI. They simply take nana banana pictures, then they reanimate them with probably clinki or gro and they post this stuff that gets millions of views. I think his most popular video is like 20 million views. And obviously you can see how consistent those numbers are. In total, they generated 239 million views. They were positioned as a competitor for 3D animated channels for Zag Films or channels like Art of War, my channel. I don't actually believe they created any competition for us. They developed the niche for themselves. It's clear that people actually loved it. But because this niche is very simple to replicate, look what happened then. If we just simply Google the name of the channel, we will find one, two, three, four, five competitors right away with the same name, same avatar, same idea for the channel, same formats, topics, scripts, everything is the same. And what it does is it commoditized the market and uh because YouTube is a very democratized platform, it doesn't really care who to give views. So, it's going to give views to you to your competitors, to competitors of your competitors. It's going to distribute views across multiple channels if the video quality is exactly the same. And the problem of AI is that if someone can generate it, anyone else can generate it too. Meaning the quality of all of the videos is going to be the exact same. And that's the problem because you will have no differentiator between you and competitors. And with time, what's going to happen is all of the competitors of Dr. Data are going to catch up and actually going to outperform him if they're able to put out more videos or uh do it at a slightly better quality. And it never happens to highquality branded niches. Take for example Renrod, the channel that does 2D animations and cartoons like this one. He blew up and generated half a billion views last month. You can see here last 7 days 40 74 million views and he did it for the last 3 months he was generating hundreds of millions of views and so far he got stero competitors. Why? Because nobody can actually figure out how he does it. Nobody can go and hire as many animators as he has. Nobody can replicate the style because he built it for himself. Those square hats and obviously always different colors. So he developed the style and because he operates in niche with a high barrier to entry, nobody can try and uh and do that. And I'm sure it's just a question of time. So some people will replicate Renrod. But he bought himself time to actually monetize the niche and have the whole niche for himself. Now he makes about $40 $50,000 a month and he will keep making this money until more competitors uh kick in. But based on my personal experience, I I'm running our war for over a year now. And since then, I probably got three or four competitors because of how complex it actually is to steal our videos and uh replicate our strategy. So, in general, the harder it is to replicate you, the more time you have in the niche to to have it for yourself, to monetize it before the competition actually kicks in. So, rule number one, your niche has to be complicated. And even if you don't have the resources to run a complicated niche right now to operate with a team, then use short-term trend-based niches to generate some capital to get some money to the door and then reinvest them and build long-term highquality niches with a high barrier to entry. Number two, YouTube is a business, not a creative side hustle. As a business first person, I talk to hundreds of uh YouTube founders uh every single week. I talked to some of them about potential partnerships. Uh some of them we coach within the art of YouTube program. But the single most important problem that I see and the mistake that most of them make is they try to operate their YouTube business as a creative side hustle. I'm going to give you a story. There was a guy who came to me with a channel in an amazing niche. You've probably seen this niche everywhere. His channel been leaked. But again, because of the high barrier to entry, nobody managed to replicate his success just yet. He was doing solid monies, $6 to $7,000 a month, it was nothing crazy, but he operated his business as a creative side hustle. He had some other channels on the site that uh didn't do any any well. Uh he was doing some side projects and side quests and he never really thought about scaling the channel and squeezing the most out of it. He was comfortable at $6 to $7,000. And the problem with that is that YouTube is a very volatile market. And if you are given a chance to monetize the niche, if you are given a chance to actually make money and your channel picks up and uh the viewers love it and you have a niche for yourself, which he does. So he basically invented the niche like now it's now he has it all for himself. When you have a chance like that, you have to grab the opportunity and squeeze the most out of it. Because like with every YouTube channel, the trend is going to pass and the channel is going to die out. There's no YouTube channels on Earth besides maybe some uh big creators like Mr. Beast who managed to survive multiple decades. And with Faceless YouTube, it's actually even shorter. So channels typically leave for six to 18 months and only 0.1% manage to leave after that. So we are not talking about channels like Fern or um other channels that's been around for a while but for every single channel there is a trendbased wave that you either catch or you miss. And if you treat your YouTube channel as a creative side hustle then you're risking to lose the wave. you risking to lose millions and millions of views by simply not treating your channel as a business and not taking it seriously. So what I told this guy is he needs to do just a few things. He needs to uh triple his team right now and he now can afford it because he operates at 95% margin. He can afford to hire more people and that's exactly what he need to do. He need to 4x the video output. So instead of posting one video a month, he need to post four videos a month minimum. Eight is way better. So he need to post eight times as much as he does now and he need to drop any other side hustle that he has. The moment you have something that works, you need to double down and forget about anything else. It's not the time to make experiments. It's not the time to start new channels. It's the time to squeeze the most out of the opportunity you were given. So once you figure out the style, the format that works and you have an MVP, meaning your channel got its first 10,000 views, 50,000 views, a million views, double down on that and squeeze the most you can at that moment in time. And then transition to a new venture. Once you see that your main channel starts to stagnate or uh the views start to go down, then you start a new channel. Then you transition to the multi- channelannel network. But at the beginning, all you need to do is to focus, treat it as a business, build systems, SOPs, and uh make sure that you have enough team to always increase the amount of videos you post. So, you start posting slowly. Maybe it's one a week, maybe it's one a month, maybe it's one a day. But then the moment views catch up, then you start posting more and more and more until you hit the plateau. And only at this plateau, you're allowed to think about new channels. Principle number three, niches that you see online are already saturated. So I know how most of you operate. So you see the niche blowing up on Twitter or you see a YouTube video about the specific niche and you go right into it trying to copy it. This is the most stupid approach you can take because whatever you see online is already saturated. No one is going to give you the actual niche that blows up right now. Why? because it's easier and it makes more money to go into that niche by yourself. So, all of these gurus that uh create videos about niches, all they try to do is to attract your attention to a niche that they either already squeeze the most out of themselves or they simply have no idea how to start it themselves and that's why they recommend it to you. So, most of the niches that you see online are absolute The only source that I would still recommend you to watch is our weekly niche digests. The reason why we do those digests is because we never recommend you to go into the specific niche that we're talking about, but we always come up with a niche band that will allow you to create a brand new niche for yourself. So instead of just giving you the niche and telling you to like go and steal it or go and copy it, what we do is we come up with uh three, four, five variations of every single niche that you will be able to use to become the first ever one to do it. So we give you the unique combinations so that you create niches instead of chasing the ones that were created by someone else. And that's how I structure all of my niche digests. And this is by the way what uh the niche bending workshop is all about. Live 25th of February. We uh we're going to discuss how to create new niches. U link is somewhere down below. Uh check it out if you want. But the lesson that I want you to remember here is whenever you see something works on YouTube, on Twitter, like you see any any viral niche, never try to replicate it. instead come up with a way to adapt the same format to the content category where this format was never used before. This way you create something new, you don't steal it from someone else and you don't become the second or the third or the fifth uh to to try it. You become the first one and you monopolize the niche before the competition kicks in. The golden rule of YouTube that I always talk about is 80% of the money in a niche are going to go to the number one. 15% of the money are going to go to the number two. 5% of the money are going to go to number three and then all other guys are going to enjoy the 1% of the niche. So the sooner you start, the more chances you actually have of making a significant income. Uh and uh that's why all the niches that you see online are already saturated. Lesson number two that we already touched slightly, you don't find a niche, you engineer it. It doesn't make sense to create a channel that already exists on YouTube. The moment you start competing with someone directly, both of you are going to get the average views. None of you are going to monopolize the niche for yourself, if your quality isn't significantly better, you shouldn't go in a niche where you already have competitors. Instead, what you should do is what I call the niche bending. You take the format like let's say there was a viral format uh explained uh with bananas. I just love this example because it's the easiest to understand. So, primate economics, they uh they did really well explaining complicated finance topics with bananas. And what stupid creators did is they simply try to steal it and explain the same concepts with the same bananas. What smart people did is uh actually the channel called a aesthetics who applied the same principle explaining with apes and the gorillas to a different niche. So they uh took the concept, they brought it to fitness where this concept explained with apes was never used before and they created this channel that blew up to almost 200,000 subscribers and uh with just 13 videos. So this way they kind of copied what already works but at the same time they invented something new. And this is exactly what I call the niche bending. This is how you engineer new niches. And this is why, for example, our niche digest kind of makes sense because instead of just giving you niches, we also give you the potential niche bands that you can use. And if you want to dig deeper into that topic, uh then as I said previously on 25th of February, we're hosting the workshop where uh you can come live and I'll personally break down your exact niche and situation. Plus, we're going to give you 50 readytouse niches and more than a thousand potential niche bands and unique combinations that you will never see anywhere online on the internet. Uh the link to the workshop will be down below. Check it out and uh I'll see you live. But we transition to the fifth principle that allowed us to uh scale multiple channels to literally billions of views. Principle number five, new video ideas are 100% gamble. adapt already viral. So when you create a niche, it's all about being the first one to do so. It's all about be unique. But when you are creating video ideas, all you need to focus on is how do I do something that was already proven before by any other competitor, direct or indirect, in my niche or in any other niche. So this is how I always do it. Let's say I want to find an idea for the art of war channel, right? So this is my channel. We create the documentaries uh we post them uh in short form format. If I want to find a video idea for my channel, what I'm going to do is I'm going to go to one of my competitors. Let's say it's Active Films. Let's take a very simple example. Then I would uh watch his videos and I'll try to find something that uh that will potentially work for uh for my channel. Let's see what keeps helicopter blades from flying off. So uh in this video it's an explanation of the mechanism of how the basically helicopter blades uh work. So this video like we often do videos about mechanisms. So it will probably do. So what I would do is I would take the transcript of this video using node GPT and uh I will then go to cloudi and using one of these two prompts that uh I'm going to link in the description down below. Uh it's either more like complex prompt like this one or more simple prompt that goes uh literally like here's the viral video script from my competitor find 15 ideas about XYZ in this case about mechanisms or different word edge find me uh like 15 ideas that have the same uh the same viral triggers and that's it. So AI cloth AI or Chad GPT you can split test between both of them. I I would typically go on uh two of them at the same time and give it uh the same prompt and just see what output uh is going to be better. They will create ideas that are similar to the video that already blew up for your competitor. So, for uh this original video, I would probably find ideas like uh why uh tanks don't blow up when they uh shoot their uh their weapons or uh how does the mechanisms of a plane instead of a helicopter work and etc. So, you want to change one little detail about the script, but you want to keep the same structure and you want to keep the same direction of the idea to make sure that your video is also going to work. I'm going to show you exactly how this generated me over 100 million views on my channel. So, if we go on uh my channel, we'll see that uh there is a video uh if we go paint. Yes. So, I originally I posted this video 8 months ago. Why did Soviet soldiers paint their tanks blue? This video did 28 million views. And again, I came up with this concept by looking at one of the Zagd videos and using the same prompts I I just gave you. Then instead of copying the exact same video, I wanted to squeeze the most out of the format. So the format in my head was, okay, cool. If I see that Soviet soldiers painting tanks and roads blue works, then what if we just change the color and find other story like other story in history where soldiers painted something. So I found the story from uh Iraq war when soldiers painted their uh tanks pink and it was desert pink uh that was like helping them blend their tanks with the uh with the sand. So I posted the exact same video. As you can see even the shots are very very much similar. We just changed the tank, changed the color, but then the exact video idea like the the viral triggers they stayed the same. 14 million views. Okay, cool. What if we try to paint different type of uh different type of war machines so we did the uh plane? So soldiers painting. It turned out that in history there is a a few stories of soldiers painting something. So 10 stories about soldiers painting their AK-47s green. 4 million views. Um a s a story about a guy in prison who painted soap to look like a pistol. 69 million views. Then a soldier painting his face 29 million views. So you see how I go about it. I change one little detail. I change a tank to a plane or plane to the face or a face to a soap. But I keep the same viral triggers. And this is how you should think while coming up with viral ideas because if you don't do that and you just generate ideas through Chad GPT, I know many similar videos would recommend you to just u you know go on uh channel of your competitor and then screenshot it and go on chaptt and ask him to come up with ideas. All of those ideas will have nothing to do with the real world. What I do instead is I find the idea, I dissect it trying to find the triggers that actually made the video go viral and I would create the similar video that has similar triggers but have a completely different idea. So I'll change the tank to a plane. The idea will be new, but then the triggers are going to be the exact same. And this is how you scale viral formats. This is how you take one video and you create two, three, four, five of them out of nowhere. And this probably generate me over like well over 300 million views across multiple uh channels. Number six, soul creators hit invisible ceilings. So as I said uh I uh talk to founders on a weekly basis u like I talk to many creative founders u some of the channels that all of you watch faceless channels and whenever I see a sole founder a sole creator of a faceless YouTube channel I always tell them the same story. So this is a story of how I met Mario the Zack Films owner. When we met we had completely different approaches. So we started Art of War and Ze Films pretty much at the same time. And while I was focusing on hiring and scaling the system, Mario was actually the one who in order to create Zack Films content, he managed to learn 3D animation and he wanted to do everything by himself because obviously he didn't have any hiring skills or knowledge and he didn't want to do that or was unsuccessful when he tried. And while I was able to scale art of war from zero to 50k a month in about 3 months probably uh 3 to 4 months Zack Felms was actually stuck for 6 months before they actually started scaling before we partner up and I started helping Mario build the team. But Mario was doing everything by himself. He had his own 9 to5 and at the same time half of his day he was pending learning animation trying to make the scripts trying to put the videos out and keeping up with consistency. It's very hard if you're not doing it with AI. If you're not posting AI slop, you won't be able to catch up and keep up the content schedule. Uh just recently talked to another founder, another channel, $9,000 a month. Um he wasn't animating by himself, but he was controlling all of the scripts, ideas, and uh he was doing the thumbnails, everything. Again, a burntout founder. They cannot uh increase the amount of videos they post. uh and their competitors are overtaking them. YouTube is all about volume, especially if your niche already worked. So instead of trying to be solo, instead of keeping 95% margin for yourself, hire a team that can actually manage what you're trying to build. If your dream is like 5K a month, then cool, you can do it by yourself. But if you're trying to scale this channel 15, 20, 30K a month, you need a team behind you. You need script writers, you need animators, you need a team manager, you need someone to post your content. Hire all of those people and spend time on tasks that actually matter. Spend time analyzing competitors. Spend time talking to highlevel people uh within the game. Spend time to analyze the market and try to understand the dynamics. But not on the scripts and ideas, not on the animations, not on giving revisions. These are all the tasks that you can delegate and the most successful founders. Just recently we spoke with the uh black files uh founder their team is multiple two digits. They operate an AI team that is bigger than most 3D teams. Why? Because it gives them leverage. It gives them an opportunity to post uh one video every other day long form. So this is exactly what I mean by uh leverage and this is something that solo creators will never be able to do. Number seven, the business side of YouTube is what no one else teaches you. Unfortunately, there is a bunch of different uh tutorials on YouTube on how to start bunch of different crappy AI channels, but no one is actually giving you the business skills required to run a proper branded long-term YouTube channel. Because the creator skills are how to go viral, how to find ideas, how to find a niche, which is, by the way, very important, but it's not the fundamentals of YouTube. uh how to edit videos, how to generate uh specific u AI videos or AI photos, but all of it does not matter because with all of that, your cap is $5 to $10,000 a month. If you want to scale past that, you need hard business skills such as hiring and firing because firing people is also hard. Um you need systems and SOPs. You need to know AI agents and the workflow because most of it can be automated and uh it does not require a human to run it. And you need team management and an ability to to scale. For all of this, you need hard business skills that uh many YouTube creators like basically none of the uh faceless YouTube gurus are going to give you. And this is what I've been focusing on uh in my journey. This is why by now we manage uh across all of our channels we manage a team of 44 people and uh it like it happens with ease. I only have uh three weekly calls with uh all of them to make sure that uh again everything is in check and besides that the team operates on uh on its own and it runs the and scales the the channels that are now doing 700k per year. So hard business skills even more important than the creator skills. The creator skills help you get to 5K a month. Everything above that is business skills and operations. So, you either need to learn it or partner with someone like myself who will uh do the boring the business work for you. But it's a very rare case. We only invest in one or two channels per month. So, that's out of sight for most people. But then spend some time to learn those skills uh before you actually try to scale past uh $30,000. And these are the seven most important lessons I learned going from zero to 50K with the art of war channel and then helping three other portfolio channels scale to multiple five figures a month. Uh one more reminder that on 25th of February we're hosting the niche bending workshop. This is for all of you meaning if you are just starting and you're afraid to waste monthsh figuring out the right niche come to the workshop. If you already have one or two channels, but you want to switch to branded long-term channels, then also come to the workshop because it's all about branded long-term niches that uh we're going to give you together with amazing niche bands. And even if you run a portfolio of channels and you're already quite successful with YouTube, then you will definitely enjoy the AI that we've built that will allow you to create faceless niches like that and always have access to fresh readytouse niches for right in your pocket. The link to the workshop and the niche hunter database is going to be in the description and also in the pinned comment. Come to the workshop. I'll see you live. There's uh multiple amazing bonuses that you can all uh read through on on the website.

How did you come up with that film? >> I took a [ __ ] >> He made me completely different person. >> You edited me into eating a [ __ ] chicken wing. >> I can make those jokes myself. >> Was probably one of the most difficult choices I had in my life. >> How much views? >> 20k views in total. If there is an opportunity to grow in your life, you should take it. >> Zack Films was removed and deleted. >> Most difficult choices I had in my life. The first time I was crying. The second time I didn't know what to say. >> I'm down to invest in the channel. >> The situation is getting worse and worse every day. >> How did YouTube changed you? >> My personal advice speaking about the niche bending is >> all right. Welcome back to the channel. Today I have an amazing guest with me, legendary Zack Felms and founder Mario. Mario, welcome to the pot. I we anticipated this conversation for a long time. Obviously, we've been working together for a long time, Scaling Films, and finally today, you will uh we will reveal some of the journey and uh just speak about this amazing legendary channel. Welcome to the Pod, bro. >> Thank you. Thank you so much for for having me here. It's a it's a pleasure for me. >> Sure. And I want to start with the most spicy question. How did you come up with Zack Films? How it happened? So um it's a it's a really long story behind the channel. Um, basically, you know, I started the the channel based on the on the Zack D Films channel. You know, everybody know that that that channel. And uh I I was really really obsessed with that kind of uh videos. And I thought that maybe uh doing a videos that were more um more in a humoristic style with different handings that they just make people laughing or just being funny was a very cool idea. So then I just started doing this 3D animation videos just by myself. So um the idea behind the channel as I said was just to to make uh people uh funny to make people laughing based on that. So at the beginning I thought that the idea could uh could work and you know that's the result that we have today. So I'm I'm really happy about that. So yeah >> that's awesome. I I know a lot of people who are who are thinking about faceless YouTube who are trying to come up with idea who are searching for the niche. For you it happened the other way around. So you basically from what I understand and maybe you tell me a different story but from what I understand you didn't even think about YouTube as a business model. You basically like you just thought that like this could be funny to make those videos and then you went ahead and made them yourself. So >> basically where did you get the idea that you know you want to do content you want to do it faceless like how did it all started? So um as I said I started by myself. So uh I have no knowledge in in doing videos. As you said it was just for for fun. >> Yeah. >> At the beginning I noticed that uh I I I I really liked what I was doing. So I just enjoying what I was doing and it was just for fun. Exactly. So, uh there was there were no there was no thinking about making money behind a faceless channel because I I follow YouTube since I was I was very young and I'm really passionate by videos. I never tried by by myself doing something really really focus on uh on the brand or something like that, you know. >> Yeah. So yeah, at the beginning as I said, I was alone. So I had to to to teach by myself everything. So I had to to to learn everything by myself. And it was a it was really it was very hard at the beginning you know because if you don't if you don't have knowledge in what are you doing it's quite difficult to understand maybe um how to make a video how to engage people how to make scrapes or something like that you know um but by time you know you can understand and uh just learn it by yourself watching other people videos taking inspiration from maybe big big uh big channel. So, >> you know, it for me it worked like that. So, it's it's just it takes time. It's it's something that you you need to to to understand by by time. Yeah. >> Right. What's interesting to me probably the most um insightful part is let's say when I was starting the art of war, I already had background in content. I knew how to like you know overall put up put together the script. What should be the hook? how can we like engage the viewer throughout the video and obviously I didn't make the videos myself. So I think that my journey was way easier than uh than yours in that regard because like as you said you were learning everything from scratch. Can you describe your like how can you describe your background because I like we obviously spoke before the cameras you said that you had some background in music but like uh how would you describe your creative background before starting this channel? Did you have some you know creative profession before? Did you do something creative or like you completely start started brand new and basically learned every single step of the journey? >> Yeah. Um for the creative part um I always try to to think about um out of the corners. Um >> but before before doing the channel I I never tried something like this. uh we were speaking about music before before the before YouTube but many years ago I was doing that but >> right >> it wasn't a very big uh big deal for me it wasn't really successful so uh speaking about the creative part um and the way I do the videos it's just what I what I really like and uh what I make what what makes me makes me laughing and what I love you know >> the channel is based on memes is based on uh funny stuff. So, it's not something that um you if you don't if you don't have it, I think personally uh it's not something that you you probably can do by from scratch, you know. >> So, like uh you said and uh that's what's really again inside me. Uh you were basically a consumer of this type of content, of this type of humor and at some point you were just like I can make those jokes myself. I can I can make them funnier. I can uh I can see how I combine let's say Zagd films and then this style of unexpected humor and all of this kind of stupid jokes and then how to make it in a way that like many many people are actually going to uh laugh from it and uh and enjoy it. So th this was a very incredible combination because like since I I think you started like pretty much at the same time with uh with me and Art War like it was similar months or maybe like uh >> in a couple of weeks after but whatever and back then there was only like Zagd Films and basically besides them there was no successful 3D channels and Zack Films was probably the first who actually did a very good twist on what Zak Films So um that was uh very insightful. >> Yeah. Um what I what I always say that in my specific case um for me it's 50% luck. Absolutely. Because you know I think in every kind of world kind of work you need to be to be lucky 100%. >> Yeah. >> So in my case I think uh the the the 50% was luck. 100%. Yeah. 50% was luck and for sure. >> Yeah. For sure. But and other 50% was the the idea itself. >> Yes. >> Was something that probably at that time was never seen before. And I think that the key behind my channel is that people always think to see a product that is similar to what they already saw. >> Yeah. like speaking about Zak D films >> but then at the be at the at the ending is something that is completely different and I think that the people actually understood the kind of humor and the idea behind the the channel. So speaking about the the other 50% is the the idea itself is making something that probably nobody ever did before or probably nobody is expecting uh from from a market that already know. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I think that uh on YouTube especially the idea for the channel like basically your niche is like one of the most important things as you said like 50% of your success. I kind of disagree that the rest 50 is luck. I think uh it was also we'll talk about the hard work but I think you were putting like just insane amount of like actual work into figuring it out and it also played a part. Obviously luck is like some of it like you had to do it like at the right time with the right angles. You had to had like the right um set of skills and understanding memes is a skill as well. So it's uh of course you know some people say it's stupid jokes but then like you have to understand how to make people laugh. It's also an art, you know, on its own. So, uh, okay. Yeah, the the idea is definitely important, but >> uh did you maybe again I don't know the answer, but did you try anything like this before or was it like, you know, a brand new idea that you just got and you immediately just went ahead and uh started the channel? Hey, real quick before you continue watching. On February 25th, I'm hosting my first ever live 2-hour workshop that will completely change the way the faceless YouTube space works. While everyone else is searching for faceless YouTube niches, during this workshop, I'm going to give you 500 readytouse, handpicked branded niches that are blowing up right now. Not only that, I will also show you the tools that my team and I are using to dominate those niches and get views like this, like this, or like that. I call the strategy the niche bending and it has already helped Ole get 10 million views real time. Seab scale past $50,000 with YouTube shorts and Rome hit 1 million followers. And as an extra bonus for joining early, you're going to get access to two weeks of the niche bending boot camp where every single day we will break down new YouTube niches, formats, and scripts. And you will have an ability to talk personally to me and validate your niches on a go. I've never done something like this before. The value of it is easily over $2,000. But if you join today, you can get a ticket for as low as 97 bucks. You'll find a link to save your spot in the description or scan this QR code on the screen and join me live on February 25th. So, um I think a couple of years ago, yeah, after the not couple, maybe three years ago, straight after the COVID, um me and my brother, we made just a Tik Tok channel on on very stupid stuff. >> Yeah. >> And we call it uh like um what what happened in in our house. >> Yeah. It was it was just a funny channel that we were just making a sketch videos about uh like uh what happening during um maybe a speech with our mom or something like that >> but it wasn't very successful as I started with film was just for fun so it it wasn't really successful but yeah speaking about something similar that uh he's to my new to my idea nowadays is the most accurate thing is that that channel that is dead of course we deleted that but >> yeah the the most uh close thing to Z films was that channel but behind that there there was there is nothing else to >> so you never tried any other like YouTube stuff any other like let's say AI channels nothing it was it's incredible for the first attempt like to me um I I probably told you this but I failed like five channels before starting art of war and I tried all kinds of weird stuff AI stories say I saw I tried everything just to to see what can get me the first like initial views and stuff but then uh you know hitting it with the first uh like with the first ever attempt that's that's just incredible. >> Yeah. I I remember that when I was doing the videos I probably got less than thousand views for two weeks in total and I remember for making a video it took me four or five days. So it was a long journey before the big uh >> big jump. Yeah. The big hit. Yeah. >> But it was a very good journey for me and I learned a lot of skills that I didn't know. It's >> it's something that I built on myself but it makes me it made me completely different person. understanding about the market in YouTube, understanding of course how to make people laughing that >> before we were speaking about luck and I say the 50% is luck because um in my specific case making people laughing is something that as you said you you need to know you need to know how to do it and uh of course you need to know where to to stop because uh the humor it's something that if you overdo it for sure is going be absolutely annoying or boring. So, repetitive stuff or something like that. So, >> in my case, I think uh I think I I I had to I had to say I had to be I was I was a 50% luck. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I still disagree. But >> yeah, I understand it because in your case >> Yeah. >> because you failed maybe four or five channels. So, but also you know you saying that you work for like 4 days to complete the video and then you know saying that it's all because of luck it's not true. It's uh it's the hard work that you put in like in the right place in the right time. Uh and basically luck in this case is just you know how Steve Jobs said it. He said that like in uh back in college I learned calligraphy for absolutely no reason. And then when he was designing the first Mac, he he he basically introduced he was the first one to add uh different fonts to to the computer. Like >> I I didn't know. >> Yeah. And basically he said that you cannot connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backward. Meaning the your intuition only makes sense when you look back in the past. you look at your journey and you're like, "Oh, wow. I did this, this, and that." And this led me to the position where I was able to do like to introduce fonts to the computer because I took calligraphy classes for no reason back in college. So, you scrolling the feed and uh looking at memes, it was like, you know, it was something that uh that finally took you to the place where you were like, "Cool, I I know how to make people laugh. I know how to, you know, put these jokes uh that that they will enjoy and I know how to build a community. Like this is also a big aspect of Ze Films that we'll probably touch on because I think Zack Films has one of the most incredible communities in all Faceless YouTube. It's just the level of support and you know love that you get in comments. It's just insane like you know even only fun models don't get that. So >> yeah. Yeah. I I feel that uh every single day because uh looking around other channels maybe in the similar 3D niches >> they're all that like nobody loves them, nobody engage engages with them. It's like all AI created comments [ __ ] >> Yeah. Exactly. >> Right. Uh so I wanted to paint for the viewer your journey because uh for now it looks like you started and boom, you're successful. The channel is almost at a million followers. like everything is perfect. But then uh as you said, you started by figuring out how to make those videos by yourself. So basically you learned 3D animation from scratch compared to other people who probably like like myself who hired freelancers to do it. Like you basically did it by yourself. So do you remember the first like 5 10 videos that you posted and how they performed uh on YouTube? And I know that you were like quite big on Tik Tok, Instagram. Can you walk me through like how much views or engagement you got on your first ever videos and how did it feel? >> So, um I'm not really sure about the first 10 videos, but I can uh 100% tell you about the three, four, five videos. Of course. >> Uh, as I said, for the first uh couple of months, I probably didn't even reach the 20k views in total. Around uh five, six videos because uh the first videos I did, they were absolutely trash. >> Yeah. >> You know, um I was learning. I never touched a 3D software before. So they were completely completely bad compared to what we are doing now. But uh I I remember that the views were completely completely zero almost uh not even 100 100 views or not even 200 views. Um as I show you a couple of days ago the logo I had before. Yeah. >> Yeah. That's the only screenshot that that I have of >> We can probably put it on the screen for people to have >> 100% send it to you. >> That would be amazing. >> Yeah, that's like the first video did nine views in the first two days and the second one probably did 50 views or more, >> but then that's it. Until um >> I didn't reach the I didn't made a video that completely blow up the channel. My views were completely trash. So bad. Yeah. And I continued doing that till three, four, maybe even six months till I reached the the the goal of making a video that completely skyrocket the the channel itself. Yeah. >> Yeah. Okay. Makes sense. And then uh do you remember your feelings? So we're talking now about the video that like skyrocketed the channel. So uh do you remember how it happened and basically like how you how you felt back then when when you saw this like graph and like real time on YouTube like how was it? It's it's probably one of the best feeling I had uh during my life because uh I I remember the exact day I I I posted that video probably at 3 3 in the afternoon and then I just left it like every video before that because I knew that they were not doing so good. So, you know, my feeling was the same. But then >> I was going out with my with my girlfriend for a dinner and when we came back I checked the video and it was over 2 million views. >> Yeah. In less than six 7 hours. >> Wow. >> Yeah. But then the feeling was something that I never felt before, you know. It's something that I cannot describe it straight away. It's something that I never felt before. And seeing all those views, all those people watching your video and commenting and seeing that they're loving what I what are you doing is is something that uh you you can describe completely. >> It's it's a very good feeling that you got to be you got to be careful 100% for sure >> because um I always say that if you if you do what you're doing for for the views for for making money, it doesn't make sense. uh it doesn't make sense anymore. >> Yeah. >> And as we were speaking uh 5 minutes ago, I didn't start for that reason. So after that, I continued doing what I was doing only for that reason that is making people laughing and have fun. Absolutely on myself first. >> Yeah, that's that's very important. I think I see so many creators who get stuck just looking at the screen and trying to, you know, to make the graph go up all of the time. We know that it never happens, you know, it's always ups and downs and even this video that blew up then eventually died out and then probably the next one didn't perform that well and etc. So, it's always the game of like ups and downs and uh locking yourself like looking at the screen thinking about numbers only not the healthy way to to run it. And then uh can you walk me through like your first like before you get the the first ever payout from YouTube? So you were working a normal job, right? Uh what did you do? >> So I I was working in a in a warehouse. Uh of course I'm not going to say the name, but I was doing a a really normal job. >> Yeah. >> Uh I was working uh till from 6:00 till 5. Uh I was doing also night shifts. So, >> right, >> it was just a normal job. I was enjoying what I was doing because I'm going to be honest, I just I I was liking it. So, it wasn't so bad for me. >> Yeah. >> But yeah, I >> And then the rest of the day you spent basically making videos like learning the 3D software to uh to make that for for how long you lived like that? Um probably till I started to uh August to August or September. September. >> So you started around April and basically like 6 months. >> No, I started the channel in February. >> February. Okay. >> Yes. I Yeah. A couple of days. No, three days ago was uh actually one year. Yeah. Yeah. Actually one year, I think. Uh yeah, it was the three or no today is the four of February. So I think it was three or two February. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Then I opened the channel, but the first video I think I got uh got posted on on the 8th of February or something. But yeah, >> it was uh it was from February till August or September or something around that. Yeah. >> So you work half of your day, you make videos for for the other half and then basically you saw the first results only in like July, June, July. Exactly. >> Makes sense. And then in August you decided that like it's enough, you can now quit your job. uh or how did that happen? >> Um was probably one of the most difficult choices I had in my life. Um because uh it's a risk, you know, when you have a job that is giving you enough money to leave, you're sure that you're going to get paid. It's it's a risk when when you have to decide to stay at home and just uh working on what are you doing. But uh speaking about the first payout I got uh from uh from the channel, it was uh uh probably in August. >> Mhm. >> And I got 2,000 $2,000 from uh the first payout and I got monetized um I think in the half of the that month, >> right? >> So in 15 days I monetized I I did 2K. >> Okay. So yeah, for me it was um it was something that I never I never I was not expecting it. So after that I I think I waited I waited a month and then when I was looking through the graphs about the monetization about the money I was making >> I realized that probably I had to to quit the job because if I was making three times the the salary I was doing I was making in this normal job. So >> yeah, >> it didn't took uh too much to to decide. I probably did the choice in uh in one week. I >> I wasn't sure, I'm going to be honest, to to do to make that choice, >> right? >> I called my my parents. I asked them any any advice. And if probably if it wasn't for for for them, I probably continue working on on that normal job. Yeah. So they it's them who recommended you to like go all in on YouTube. >> Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to be honest. >> It's very rare. >> Yeah, I know. Um my parents are very open in this kind of stuff. They are never they've never been uh like locked in like uh >> like most of the parents that you know it's it's something normal around the parents. But in my case, they told me if it works, why not? You you take the risk. Um my dad is also an entrepreneur. Uh he he had he do he was doing something that is completely different to what I'm doing of course but you know um he was the first to telling me take the risk and and do it and doing it you know so I never did something at that level before >> right >> so yeah honestly if it wasn't for my for my parents I would never never quit the job. That's amazing having the support at that early stage. It's probably like not many parents as I said do do that and it's very incredible that you you were blessed with with them because uh obviously when you like started spending more time on the channel like we'll talk about that stage of your journey now but uh I assume the results like just you know completely skyrocketed because again um you know the more time you spend on it the more the more it grows like as with any other uh business as well. So uh that's very interesting that uh to me that this journey took you so long but again until you see the first payout and the first results and and then it seems like you never considered quitting. Have you thought about it in a journey or you were just so locked in on the sole mission of making people laugh that you didn't even consider quitting? Um, I I thought about quitting um before getting the first payout because uh as I said before um I was doing that job and I was also making the videos. So it was uh it was killing me back in the time. I remember that I was completely dead from the job from my work. But I was I had this this goal of making videos. It was something that I was really enjoying it. But I remember that at what one point I I thought that maybe I had to quit because I was not sustain sustainable anymore, >> right? >> Me personally and mentally it was not sustainable for me. But you know then uh I got luck. >> Yeah, that makes sense. And then uh you were way bigger on Tik Tok and Instagram before YouTube exploded. So I think your your first videos there exploded almost right away. So what do you think about other platforms compared to YouTube? Uh like how did they treat you and uh how's your experience with uh like getting views on Tik Tok and Instagram before YouTube even exploded? So um I think I first uh I first opened uh Tik Tok before YouTube and I posted the video at the same time then I posted on YouTube and on Tik Tok uh we I remember I did 8 9 million views on the first ever video. >> Yeah. >> Oh my god. >> Yeah. And I always thought that Tik Tok was something uh that doesn't make sense to do it but it gives you a lot of visibility in terms of views and the sharing. 9 million views. It's crazy on the first ever video. >> It is. And then um Instagram, I open it later uh I think uh two or 3 weeks later >> because I know I knew that um on Instagram you can't uh basically monetize. So, you know, >> it had no sense to to to open Instagram. But then >> I just open it because I said, "Why not? I'm not monetizing. I'm just doing this for fun. Why not just open it?" But then with Instagram, uh, I posted the first video and then I stopped doing it. And I think after one month, I posted all the videos I posted on YouTube and Tik Tok all at once. >> Really? >> Yes. And all the videos got a lot of views all at once. Yeah, >> that's an interesting strategy. I haven't seen anyone do that. >> It's not a strategy. It's something that, you know, I it was completely random, you know. >> Yeah. But yeah, I I posted like five five or six videos and they blow up completely from out of the nowhere, you know. I was not expecting that. So, it was a was a surprise. >> Interesting. Uh to me, I I don't like Tik Tok. We spoke about it privately. Tik Tok is [ __ ] in terms of like how they pay creators, but I like how at the early stage of the channel, it can show you whether you're doing the right content or wrong because YouTube is very slow to blow up and it can take you like 5 10 15 20 videos to see the first results. But then if you post on Tik Tok, you can literally like I remember my first video, it did nothing compared to yours. like it did like 200k views, but it's still, you know, the views I I still saw some results of the content that I was posting. And my first ever video on YouTube, similar to yours, it got like three or three views on the first day and then like 17 views on the day the second day. So, it was nothing. Uh, but then Tik Tok kept me going because I was like, "Okay, cool. People are loving it." And it's just figuring out the algorithm, seeing what works on on YouTube, optimizing for that, and eventually it will it will also work. So it seems like in most of the cases with branded channels it works exactly like that as well. >> Yeah. Speaking about the algorithm, I actually didn't know how how it works. But at the first time I noticed that they were completely different compared to to YouTube. Speaking about Tik Tok, >> you know, Tik Tok works uh for most of the funny videos that people likes and once you get 100 likes, the video just continue blowing up. >> Yes. Because we know that in YouTube you have stages where the video gets shared more from by the algorithm. So if you don't do if you don't um make a video that is specifically for the YouTube algorithm, it doesn't work. For Tik Tok, it was completely random, you know. Um I wasn't expecting to make all of those views at the beginning. Mhm. >> So, yeah, >> it's good that uh at least you got the proof of concept and uh you saw some reaction from from people and I know how active you are in your own comments like you actually like read those comments and you take them into consideration. Yeah. So, you send me some screenshots. You know, sometimes people uh you know, some people love our videos and it makes you very excited. Some people hate our videos and then it makes you very sad. So, you're very um invested emotionally in, you know, how content performs. And I think it's a like one of the strongest uh sides of uh you and why Zack Films was so successful compared to other channels that uh probably care way less than uh than you do. So, can you walk me through your uh strategy? If you were to describe your strategy in like three simple steps, like how do you come up with this videos? because to me it looks completely random, but I'm sure you have uh like a very short outline of like how you do it. Um there is no strategy for me personally. Uh what I do is just uh scrolling in every social till I don't find something that I like and then I think if I if I can redo it in in my way in in a 3D animation video, >> right? There is no for me there is no personal strategy is something that I always we always do everybody does scrolling. Yeah. >> So I just uh I just find videos that I like and then I find a way if I find a way to make it in in our style I just do it. If uh if not I just continue going until I find something that I like. Yeah. >> But as you said before I always check comments. I always uh check what people maybe like more to see and I always try to to make more of those videos that people expect from >> from me, you know. >> So for me it's it's really important having a second opinion that is the people that are watching the channel. Yeah. But >> personally there is no no strategy. >> How do you determine that the the video is going to blow up that the script worth it or the idea worth like remaking it? Do do you have like a uh what's the way of thinking? Like is it basically like oh I find it funny then people will find it funny or like how does it work? >> For me it's it's always about if I like it I think it works. It's not something that uh it's related to specific strategies about making good hooks or making uh I don't know something that at the first 3 seconds is surprising the viewer. That's something that if I like it, I always think it is going to work because uh in in my case all the subscribers and the people that are following me are I think are there very similar to to to me. So they they really like what uh what they see and what I what I do. So um >> yeah. >> So you basically build a brand around being relatable. So like they they they watch your content and they feel connected. they feel related to it. That's very interesting. >> Yeah, I feel I feel very connected to to to the people that are watching the channel. So, it's it's really important for me having people that uh tells me, look, this video is really good. This makes me my day. I found it very funny. Maybe later I'm going to show you something that uh it's really it's really important for my journey. I received a mail from a from a mom. >> Really? Yeah, >> tell me. >> Yeah, it was two days ago. >> Okay. >> She sent me this email and she told me like um me and my husband we always watch your videos and we have two two daughters. She one is six and one is uh four. And they told me just thanks for what are you doing. We always crack by by laughing when we watch your videos. You know, it's it's something that it touched me personally. >> Yeah. >> You know, it's something really really important for me. >> So, it's >> that's very nice. >> Yeah. It's it's really nice. It makes me very very happy, happy, and glad about what I what I do. >> That that means impact. That's not just about making faceless videos and making them work. That's that's real impact. And as you uh I think one of the first calls we ever did, you said that uh uh you said something I don't remember the exact quote but you said something along the lines of uh the life is hard and uh you you just want to make this like 30 seconds of people's life better by by making them laugh. That's it. >> And that's you know it's so incredible. Not many uh not many creators have a goal like any kind of goal but then having a goal so spiritual in a way so you know mindful it's just crazy to you that's that's the sole reason why channel succeeded it's not 50% luck it's 50% like this uh this strategy and it's actually a strategy behind it even though you don't realize it it's still a strategy because it's something that others can learn from you and others can start implementing in their journey not like by copying you, which again many people tried. There are channels like literally trying to steal like your ideas and everything, but they never connect with the audience to the same level. And I bet that most of their comments is like why do you copy Zack Felms? Like why do you try to be Zack Fel when you're not? >> And uh that's because you've built such a strong connection with your audience and again receiving emails like that just shows that. >> Yeah. Yeah. It's not even a message, you know, if if I would email. It's a email. Yeah. Exactly. >> Probably she had her credentials at the bottom of it. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Exactly. So, it's like official letter of It's amazing. >> All right. I want to talk uh to you about something uh that >> probably many viewers don't understand yet. Uh, Zack Felms is a very unique combination of your skills, your interests, and uh, then obviously some luck that was involved as well. And looking at that, what comes to mind first is, okay, I'm going to copy Zach Films and I'm going to be successful. As we discussed, it's not going to work. Like, this is just a unique combination that uh, that can only be repeated once. Like if you repeat it twice, you're always stuck being like a copycat. So how do you now like as you as you are today like Mario 2026, how do you think about coming up with new niches and coming up with new ideas for the channels? What would you recommend someone who is like stuck at like ground zero? They're trying to find the idea for the channel. Like how do they find it? Um my my personal advice it's always to to think out of the lines. >> For me it means that you can it you can take inspiration from someone but not just replicate it because it's not going to work 100%. >> Um I always try to combine something that someone did and nobody else did before. >> Mhm. So we spoken about uh we open another channel that I'm not going to I'm not going to Yeah. >> But yeah, in that case I took something that we saw was working in the in the months before in the past >> and I just came up with something that is personally like the the humor and the first thing the first thing I I thought was yeah this is going to work 100%. that's not working now because it takes time. But I think it has a lot of potential. So my >> personal advice speaking about the niche bending is take something that uh it's already existing but just make it on something that you maybe know how to do it or you you like it. So just do not uh copy something that is already working because it's not going to work. >> Yeah. I like the way you adapt it because original concept of niche bending is take the format and adapt it for the market where it was never used before. So let's say I don't know you you take Zagi films format and you adapt it for fitness, finance, health, uh like I don't know uh like uh like I don't know real estate whatever. But then the way you actually adapted it is you took something that you have inside you, something that you like like memes and and this style of humor, the one that you built Zack Films off of, and you now search for markets where there's no such humor and you just bring that style of humor that like your personal format to those markets. That's uh that's very interesting to me because not many people look inside when searching for niches. They go on YouTube and they're like, "What is the most popular niche right now? What is the the most popular format?" And they always just like follow what what someone else invented, but then you just invent it by yourself. You just like come up with it based on your strength and basically avoiding your weaknesses. And uh this is a very strong approach. >> And I know like obviously we're not revealing the channel, but you went for long form this time. So, how do you see the difference between short form and long form? And uh basically why with this particular with the second channel that you're starting, why did you choose long form over shorts? Um the real reason is because uh when uh when doing shorts, you basically are um focusing everything in in a very short time. Yeah. >> You have 20 30 seconds. You can also do a minute but in terms of uh engaging is really really difficult to engage people for one minute you know. So >> um I just wanted to try something that I never did before but yeah we did long forms in Zach films but it was something that is related to shorts is the same uh is the same humor is the same uh kind of videos just in long form video in long long form terms. >> Yeah. So for this time I decided to try to engage people for what they really like. >> Mhm. >> But doing it in in a way that they're not expecting simply simplify like that. >> Um >> what do you say what would you say is easier? Shorts or long? >> Shorts 100%. Yeah. >> In terms of like creating the script and everything. >> Yeah. Yeah. Shorts 100%. Because uh if you build the video, if you build the short in a very good way that you can engage people also for 15 seconds, you the video is going to blow 100%. But in a long form uh it's definitely more difficult because uh or the video is going to just appear in your in your home screen or if you don't search it in that specific uh topic or specific niche is difficult. So I prefer doing shorts uh instead of long form. Yeah, >> makes sense. But then on Zack Films, I mean, we we're now posting a lot more long forms and they also perform pretty pretty nice compared to other channels that try combining two formats on on one channel. But I also a believer of if you are a beginner, start with shorts. figure out the algorithm. Figure out the uh the script structure, the hooks, the call to actions, the storytelling. You just have less variables. You don't have thumbnails. Thumbnails don't matter with shorts. You don't have titles. Titles also don't matter. You you don't have many things. Just dial in the script and video quality and you know the algorithm is going to give you the views. But then with long form thumbnails, titles, description, you know, uh you want to avoid copyright music. there's so many different details that you need to understand before you actually go into that. And uh I really like that approach of yours where you started with shorts, you blew up on multiple platforms, then you started long form on the same channel and then now you're expanding towards more channels and uh uh you're you're doing it in uh in a long form format which is way more financially interesting from the RPM perspective. >> Yeah, definitely. >> Yeah, makes sense. Uh, and then, uh, what do you think about those niches that are not 2D and 3D animation like AI slope, simple AI niches? Do you think this one is sustainable or do you think it's just like a short-term trend that is going to fall off? >> AI can work if it's used in the right way. I personally don't like AI. I hate AI, but I use it every day. So, um, it's Yeah, I know it. But watching a product on YouTube that is completely made by AI is destroying the the the old how can I say the old real way to make YouTube, >> right? >> I remember that YouTube in 2013 2014 uh they were just spreading the word about uh making yourself uh how can I say that just showing yourself as you are. >> Yeah. So >> being authentic basically. >> Yeah, exactly. I I I'm feeling that AI it can work if you make it in a way that uh it doesn't look AI. >> Mhm. >> But uh watching videos that are completely made by I. It's not uh it's not something that I personally like. >> Right. >> But I feel that it can work and it can also overpass overtake channels like mine or or yours. And we see this in in these days that it's it's happening. But >> yeah, >> there are many channels that are not using AI still. So they're doing very great numbers and I prefer to to to watch them instead of AI channel, especially slops, >> right? Yeah. I also hate slops. They they take our space in the feed. They don't provide any value and it's basically like >> Exactly. >> It's the sixsecond [ __ ] that for some reason people watch till the end. But uh I do like the use cases of AI where they can enhance the experience of watching YouTube. there's like literal like almost movies made with AI, you know, almost movie kind of quality and uh like documentaries, all these videos and I think that and there's also like AI influencers which is also in my opinion like a big trend and I uh I'm highly invested into u you know understanding what's going to be the next step for AI influencers. But I I'm a big believer of animated niches. I just love animation. I just love how it helps you like how how much creative freedom you have to engage the viewer in a way that uh that you want. Uh so what do you think is going to happen to 2D and 3D niches to more like complicated brand and niches when AI is going to progress? Um, I think that 3D and 2D animations, they're going to be always uh on top, especially on shorts because it's uh it's something reliable. I like them. I love them. And I always thought that people were always uh they will always be watching this kind of niches because it's it's a product that is sellable. Sellable. I can say that. Yeah. And it works for me. It's personally works. But uh I think that AI is going to take a is going to take a big step in the next years that we we are not going to control it anymore. Nowadays you can see I have a friend that makes um yeah influencers but not for YouTube just for for other websites >> blue and white and black and yellow ones. >> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. >> Okay. So the the realism of AI is taking a step that we cannot control anymore. And thinking about YouTube, it's something that like I was saying before, it's something that is going to completely destroy the the YouTube uh past uh not topic but goal. >> Yeah, >> it was the goal was to show yourself but nowadays it's not not anymore. Yeah, >> I feel that more there are more people that are making that only for money that >> Yeah. >> Not everyone is doing it for the for the same reason. >> Yeah. What do you see as uh let's say there are two people one is doing it for creative reasons like yourself and one is just doing it purely for money like how do you think their journey is different on YouTube? I think um I think that people that are making it for money, they probably have the knowledge for doing that. Uh like maybe I'm not going to say that, but maybe in your case that you know how to to build a channel from scratch and making it blow up in uh two weeks, you know how to do it. But you know in my personal case I think that making making video only for your creative part is the best thing uh is the best thing in YouTube you know. >> Yeah. >> So I I I personally prefer to do that only for that reason. It's not something you know money you can make money today you can make money tomorrow. It's you have a life in front of you. You're going to find a way to make money. But as an entrepreneur now I can understand people why are doing that. and trying to crack the algorithm, trying to make a lot of views. It's it's normal. It's part of the market. So, >> yeah. >> Yeah. >> To me, again, I I knew how to do that. I I came from the agency background. I had all of the let's say tools available. I still had to figure out many things. that uh uh the the main reason was always uh you know how can we have uh you know a channel that is that that is making us money like like that was the goal from the very beginning still I kept a very important part of it to myself so let's say like with all of the hiring that we did with all of the like team building etc I still took the like basically most of the ideas went through me and I approved them and like remake them in a way that I would love to see content on YouTube and I try to not you know uh to not post any slop kind of content because uh many channels that copied me after that they did like they uh they post they spread a lot of misinformation a lot of [ __ ] etc. So I try to cap the channel for for a good reason while also having a health like healthy profit. But if you're starting on YouTube, I think that your approach is actually better because if you're doing it for sole reason of money, after 10 videos that don't work, you're going to give up. >> You're going to give up. >> You're going to just stop posting. >> But then if you're doing it for the creative reasons, like you just love what you do, you just like you just love your uh comment section, even if it's two people, like you still, you know, feel connected with them, >> you're going to continue and eventually it's going to blow up because every single time you get a little bit better at animating, scripting, a little bit better with the idea and essentially it just clicks while videos skyrockets and I think now if if we scroll Z films all the way down all of almost all of the videos have like have reached like a million views minimum. >> Yeah, probably. >> Yeah. So it's like >> I'm not sure but probably. >> Yeah, most of them got got views. So it's not the nine views it was before. Way it's way more. So, uh, that's why I love YouTube. That's, you know, that's the reason why it's, uh, people say it's so evergreen because no matter what you post now, the moment Mr. Beast first video, now it gets it has what, like 100 plus million views. His first ever Minecraft [ __ ] video. Obviously, like there were like 13 people who watched it when it when it was released. But now 100 million views just because now Mr. Beast is, you know, we we all know who he is. Um, makes sense. uh when creating those niches uh through the niche bending or any other strategy that you use, do you even think about like market as a whole? Do you see like do you analyze competitors? Do you somehow determine whether the niche actually worth it or not? Or is it also based solely on your feelings? How do you approach it? Um, we do have competitors of course and in the past I was analyzing I was trying to analyze what uh what was working in those videos. I was trying what the other people was doing speaking about your channel about Zacts about Rome. >> We were the four three top three or four whatever channels they are in the in the 3D animations. >> That's right. And I always thought that having someone from uh who you can inspire it's really really important. But in my case um I was not looking competitors as something that I need to to crash directly you know as a part of the market. So you can take your your piece and that's it. In in a case like ZD films you cannot overtake Zims is something that is impossible. He makes more views from shorts than uh than Mr. Beast. >> Yeah. >> He makes I think three three billion views per month. >> Three and a half some months of the I think during the summer he did like three and a half billion in a month. It's crazy. >> Yeah. So, >> makes sense. Uh okay, cool. I I want to talk about the period where we started working together and we basically got in touch. So, how do you describe your your workflow? I don't remember exactly when it happened. So, you probably uh quit your job and then we met or maybe we we met right at the time you were like considering quitting. So, do you remember how your workflow like worked uh like how your workflow looked like before we got in touch and then basically how the uh the initial conversation happened? >> So, I didn't trust you at the beginning. I'm going to be honest for that. Okay. you know, because u getting I had like 100,000 subscribers. >> Yeah. >> And you know, when you get contacted by someone else that is investing in your channel, it's something that it doesn't happen every day, you know. >> Yeah. >> In my in my in my journey, it didn't happen before you. >> So, I was not trusting the person. I I I just I just got >> received an email like basically faceless email. I I think I had my avatar on the email but >> yeah probably yes but >> as you said I got the first payment that was okay >> then I got the second one but I remember that probably was in that period when uh when you contact me I already probably got that the second payment or something. I don't really remember but yeah I was in that period. I think it was in September. >> Mhm. Yes. Probably early October, I guess. >> Yeah, exactly. We started working on No, we started working together in October, >> right? >> Yeah. And so I think he just contacted me in se September. >> Yeah. Then it was middle September then. Yeah. >> Yeah. So August was the first uh month that I got paid and then uh September was the second one. >> So after that we start working together. >> Right. For the people watching, I basically the way it happened is I I saw the success of Zack Films the the channel and how it blew up. I first saw you on Instagram actually like on my feed. Then from there I was like why this guy isn't posting on YouTube? Then I found your YouTube channel and then basically started following you and at some point like I just remembered talking to my friends how about how amazing your channel is. And then like just a a random thought that came to my mind that is like damn like I should just reach out and see you know what what what this guy's up to because I remember you you weren't posting like too too much and I was like maybe we can you know work something out. maybe we can, you know, somehow work together and just u scale Zackfelms. So, I basically just emailed the uh Mario had this uh info@zacfilms.com in uh in his bio and I basically emailed him saying like, "Yo, I'm I'm down to invest in the channel. I'm down to help you scale, bring on board team and everything." And I think like it took you a day or something, but then you replied and I was like I was talking to my girlfriend and I was like, "Damn, look at this." Like he replied to me. Like I I didn't expect you to reply. Like that was one of the first emails like this I ever sent because like we never did deals like this uh uh before. We we only worked on a uh different basis. So not like partnerships, complete partnerships. So uh what did you feel like? you you didn't trust me, but uh how did you end up like replying and what was your due d [ __ ] me I never I never say this word right due diligence process on me um you contact me probably straight after I quit my job >> right so um the feeling was that in some way um I got saved by by someone, you know, because I was completely alone. So, I took the decision to to left to quit the job and focus on the channel. It was working, you know, >> but when you can do more, why why you should not do it, you know? So, I took the >> I took the opportunity and when I did my researches about uh you and what you did, I took the decision to to start working together. So, >> probably was one of the best decision uh decision I took in in the channel. Yeah, definitely. Yes, because we implemented the quality. We built a structure that works. >> Yeah, >> we build a team. So, it's something that uh I never did before. I was doing it by myself. So, >> it's probably the best decision. >> So, I want to basically understand uh and not not like understand because I basically understand it, but uh I want to paint for the viewer um two stages of your journey. The stage one I I would call it like a creator. So you were a creator and the sole owner of Ze Films and the sole uh producer of content. Uh so I know that you had some kind of a whiteboard where you outlined all of your ideas and then basically uh from what I understand you just went ahead and like executed them in Blender uh in 3D software uh like yourself and then you just posted them. Uh you didn't have much systems. Uh I I know you tried hiring people but it wasn't really successful as well. So, how would you describe this first initial stage of being a creator and what did you like or disliked about it? >> So, what I definitely dislike about it is uh that I had to to teach myself everything from making the videos to making the ideas to finding uh I don't know new ideas, new topics or whatever. It was uh I was enjoying it but I recognized that was a completely it was very difficult. I had this whiteboard where I was just putting uh the the thinking I was uh the the idea I was thinking at that exact time and I was just writing on that whiteboard and that that was basically the way I was uh I was working. Uh I was just scrolling if I found something I just write on the whiteboard and then when I had the time to to try to make it and thinking in Blender. I had no I had no system where where you can make the hook um make the storytelling and animate it. I was just opening Blender and based on the idea I had just trying to make the video. >> Yeah. >> So I had no like lines in how to make the video. I was just opening the software and trying to make it. >> Yeah. And how uh how was your experience with uh hiring freelancers? Like I know you had like two I think two animators before. >> Uh like how was it like how did you even find them? And uh was they good or or bad? I assume bad. >> Yeah, it was bad. It was bad because um I thought that maybe hiring people were was probably helping it helping me. But at the end I I felt that explaining my ideas and my vision to someone else >> Mhm. >> that it doesn't have my same vision, it's more difficult than doing it my by myself. >> Yeah. >> So I just I think I found those guys on on Fiverr. We I probably paid them a couple of videos and then I hired them. But I think this is not allowed. So I don't know if we can say that. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. So, it wasn't really successful. Um, but I have to recognize that the first long form we posted, it's not from me. It's from one of these animators. Yes. Okay. >> The video about how I speed works is not made for me. >> It's not by me. Yeah. >> I didn't know that actually. I thought it was made by you, but >> No, no, no. >> Interesting. It's till this day it's the most viewed lawn form on the channel. Nice. >> Because it took a lot of time to make it. I think it took a couple of weeks, >> right? >> So if I probably would do that, >> probably took me one month or more. So in that case, I decided to just delegate the video to to someone else. >> That makes sense. And what were the key problems that you saw back then at the creator stage that made you realize that, okay, cool. Uh something that this weird guy from the internet, Tim, suggesting me is actually worth it. like what were the day-to-day problems of being a creator in this business? What what what uh I mean uh for example like with this with this freelancer you could just like continue hiring them by yourself, continue growing the channel by yourself. Like what made you realize that you want to you want to scale it and you want to you know u hop on a call with me and basically figure out how we can do it together instead of doing it on your own >> because I I I always think that if there is an opportunity to grow in your life you should take it >> right. Uh it it's not about um the effort. It's not about the pain you you're going to you're going to put in in that new idea and that new opportunity, but it's something that uh you're doing it because you like it and then you have the opportunity to to grow. You should do it without uh without with your eyes closed, >> right? >> Yeah. So I took the decision uh straight away after like a couple of days as you said because I quit my job. I had only that to do it. So I said why we shouldn't we we we can do it better. Why not? So yeah I just accepted for that reason. >> I think it was it was barely a week. I think I reached out next day you answered then we hopped on the call. Uh I think it was Friday. I I remember I suggested Friday and then like it it took us probably two call Yeah. two calls to to figure out the the right way of structuring everything and uh we just uh we we got started. That's that was one of the fastest uh fastest deals like this size of my life. That was uh that was very interesting. >> You know uh at the end of the month you get paid. So, it's it's important to to to get paid for what you're doing if you want to survive, of course. But, >> um I remember we modified a couple of uh points about the contract, about the agreement we have because it was just something that I didn't like it. But then, uh it was for me it was we were not speaking about uh money. We were just speaking about growing the channel and make things uh better. >> Yes. >> So, I I was happy with that deal. I'm still happy with that uh that deal today. So, >> and basically for for the viewer just to paint them a picture of like what happened after that. Uh what I think we do best and again I I don't take the credit in any of the creative work because I'm not like anywhere near as creative as you are in in many of the areas. Uh I consider myself more like a spreadsheet guy and the the numbers guy. uh the boring guy so to say. Um but the part that we do best is basically um like hiring and making people creative people work in the right conditions so that they perform their best and uh obviously we also manage the numbers because besides just being a platform for creativity, YouTube is also a business and uh in any business you need to understand how much you spend, how much you uh spend per month, per video, per day, per per week like wherever Then you need to understand how to manage those numbers, how to uh get the right output from the team, how to keep them motivated, etc. There's many many boring details that many creators ignore. And it's not like opening an order on Fiverr and just paying them like 70 like 100 bucks whenever they finish the video. It's a little bit more complicated, especially if you want to work with them long term. So what we started doing was just enhancing like and initially my goal I think I said to said this to you on one of the first calls. Initially my goal is to help you enhance the creativity that you have like just providing you with more hands to do uh to do the work to to spread the uh the love and the the energy of Zack Felms to to more people around the world. So how do you see your business now? like what do you do and uh and how do you like it? >> Uh currently I still do script scripts and ideas um because the the part that I absolutely like the most but uh we spoken about the the final editing because u >> it can happen that we make some videos that are not uh maybe how I was expecting it or you can change it in in the final edit. So this is the parts that I do. I make ideas. I make scripts. I modify the scripts that we have from the script writers based on my my feeling or if I don't like it or whatever. >> And then when the video is final and it is ready to be edit, I do the editing because it's something that I always been doing it in my my childhood. I just really like editing the videos and making it in in a way that can be more funnier than the animation itself. So that this is the the what I'm doing currently >> with YouTube and especially with deals like that. I think that uh the business is very much like founder meaning you as a creative brain behind the whole operation. uh need to keep control over the most important parts and uh the the reason why uh for example uh like we still have you on those like scripts and and editing is because we had so many conversations which at the beginning I was a little bit afraid of because uh you know you you either like the piece of content or you don't and you're the kind of person that if you don't like the video you're not going to post it and at the beginning I was like damn like what if we create like you know 30 60 videos, but then Mario hates them all and we we cannot post them. Like, and I'm not like that. I can post like whatever whatever the hell I I'm told to post if if I know that it's going to work, right? But then you need to deeply care about the video in order for for you to even like click the post button. >> Exactly. >> So, uh that's why we basically built the structure around you allowing you to control the most important parts. And with Zack Films, it's what's the idea then? Can we make the editing as funny as possible with the with the sounds at the end with everything? And then like how many people we need to again to produce as much of Zack Film's content as we as we possibly can. And uh I really like the synergy that we had in in this way because then you know we we build an incredible team right now like the animators we have are absolutely amazing. uh like the the way they also have fun making those videos and obviously you not needing to to do the animation anymore, having all the time in the world to do the most important parts which is like the uh making the scripts as funny as possible and making the editing as funny as possible as well. >> I definitely miss making animations. >> Yeah, you do. >> Yeah. >> Interesting. >> Yeah. But I >> we should post some like one exclusive video solely from Mario only for paid subscribers once a month. >> Yeah. You know the what's the problem? The problem is that uh we have professional people that >> they they do this for living. They do this because they like it. They do this because they are professional in what they are doing. So >> um doing something where I'm not really good to doing it maybe it's not a good idea. I prefer to to to speak with the guys, you know. I I always have been like this with every animator we we have. I prefer to have a call to meet the people, maybe have give them some uh instructions about it if they didn't understand something. For me it's the most important part having people that they really enjoying what they are doing and they really understand what's the vision of the the idea the channel or you know >> it's really important for me that everyone that is working on the channel understand and feels good about what they are doing >> and then also who's watching the videos. It's really important to have a like I said before a double vision a like or whatever that is you know >> for me it's 99% of my day depends on that if the people that are working with me they're not feeling good it's it means we are missing something in the structure and the rest is not the 1% but the rest of the 99% is that if we post a video and the people don't like it it means there is a problem so for me it's really important and what other people are feeling on me. >> Yeah. >> So, yeah. >> And I think you built like very again very important and uh uh connection with animators that many people just don't don't care about. And uh I I I just can't stop stop saying that. But I think like it's a very big lesson for everyone just watching this. If you deeply care about the content you provide, you deeply care about the viewer, the the team member, that's all you basically need. Like YouTube is a game of trial and error and just making this feedback loop as fast as possible while caring about, you know, people that surround you, whether it's your team members or your viewers, you know, people from the comments, your family, whatever. You just make you make content for them. Content should serve them. It's not the tool to make money. Obviously, it is, but then it's the main goal is to actually serve people. That's what content is designed. >> Yeah, exactly. >> Makes sense. >> I want to talk about something like uh like this this block because we went through something that many people don't survive. We went through the Zack Felms termination. So, Zach Felms was removed and deleted. >> Okay. one of the most >> most difficult weeks in my life. >> Most difficult uh week of your life. But then we'll talk about that. But also one of the most deleted channels on uh on the internet. How many times we got deleted on how many platforms? We're like Andrew Tate of 3D animation. So uh how did it happen? How Zach Films got banned? >> I first got banned on Instagram. I got banned uh three times on Instagram. >> [ __ ] >> Yeah, definitely. Yes. The first time I had 350 400k uh followers on Instagram and I got deleted because of uh impersonation. >> Yeah. >> Uh Meta probably thought that I was trying to impersonate Zach Films in some way. So at that time I I already had the trademark paid on on Zackfams on my logo and on the on the name itself. >> Yes. >> And I tried to to send everything to Meta but they just completely ignored me. I did um the verification process in uh 5 minutes and they rejected in in two in two minutes. I remember I remember that day I was working I was continuing I was still working in the in the warehouse and it probably was uh it was very bad but then at the end I gave up because uh at the end Instagram was not uh was not my main goal. My main goal always been YouTube. Yeah, >> because the the social that I perform by personally, but uh after that I open again Instagram and I got deleted after 2 months. I gained probably one 100,000 followers. Then I opened it another time but for another reason that maybe I will explain and I had 2,000 followers and then I got deleted. But in that case, I also had the the badge. Yeah, >> I did a verification process through the meta paid meta. >> Yeah, when you pay like I don't know eight 18 bucks whatever it is >> because I I had the opportunity to do it because I already had the business registered in the US. So I did that they verified but then they deleted me. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I think uh I think Meta hates me for some reasons. I don't know. >> Yeah. I think our Facebook pages are also like one or two got banned. >> Yeah. Yeah, it didn't get banned, but it got monetized. Oh, no. Yeah, it got banned. >> Yeah, >> I didn't even remember it. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> But what about YouTube? YouTube was the most painful one. What happened on YouTube? >> YouTube uh it happened probably the same thing. It happened on Instagram the first time. I think uh something happened in the in the system and I don't know if someone's send uh a report to my channel and tell and told them Google look this guy is trying to impersonate Zakims but we got the confirmation that also Jack the film doesn't it doesn't actually care about us. >> Mhm. >> So I got deleted that morning. No. Yeah. It was a morning. >> It was a morning. >> Yeah. He was on a call. >> Yeah. I was uh from my perspective how it was is I was I was on a call with script writers and we were just discussing with you uh that we need to hire script writers. So I'm on a call explaining script writers how awesome Zach Felms and how they need to work hard for it and everything and I see you calling and I cancel the call and I text you like yo I'm on a call I can't now. You tell me it's urgent. I'm like wait guys I'll I'll be back. I turn off my camera. I pick up the call and you're like, "We got banned." And I'm like, "Fuck, I just hired these three people. I just spent like 30 minutes explaining them like, yo, we, you know, we we're going to work and Zack Films is awesome. Like, we're scaling it to a million followers and everything. And now I need to finish the call with them. Like, I cannot just like tell them in the middle of the call like, you know, you're you're fired, guys. I didn't know." >> Yeah. And and basically like you're like it's bent. And I'm like I'm already thinking about the options like what we should do and everything. I'm checking the channel and it says uh like error like I cannot log in into the like the studio and see everything. So walk me what happened like on your end like how did you see it and uh and what uh what were you doing? This is for all faceless YouTubers or those who want to start.

If it's if it's too much pain. >> No. Yeah, it's painful but it's something that nowadays can happen to everybody. So, it's better to know. We We knew that could happen. >> Yes. I think yeah we knew it because the content not everyone's maybe likes the kind of humor the kind of hard dark jokes but nowadays we are not doing that anymore. >> Mhm. >> We're trying to not doing anymore >> trying to be safe. Yeah. >> Yeah. But uh yeah I'm going to tell that in that way when YouTube doesn't allow you to do what uh you feel or what you like it's not really good. But just speaking about the creative part that you know YouTube is a completely different word because it's owned by Google. But whatever that day I just I just got up and I think uh I was I just took a coffee. I started working on the on the PC. I think it was uh 10 or 11 in the morning and we got this email and then I just contact you straight away and I was just I I didn't know if crying or just killed myself. Now this I can't tell it. I I didn't know if I >> if if crying or just uh I don't know trying to do something but >> I didn't realize at the beginning. >> So it was a very hard uh it was a very hard time. I remember it perfectly and it's not really really good. Yeah, >> we spent uh so you called me and uh as I said I was like running through the options in my head like what uh what should we do and obviously I had a few backup plans but I never actually like did it. Uh so I was also kind of shaking in the in the moment because I was like uh you know if we don't get the channel back then we have a team of I think back then it was like three animators. Now I I just on boarded three more script writers. We wanted to see who who is doing better. So we have a big team. We also have uh u you know I think we were waiting the the payout whatever it was like 15k or something that was also you know we we could consider it gone if we we don't get the channel back and the whole thing is screwed. We we started working. We spent like 2 months building everything and by the time everything was built >> we get banned >> and that was like devastating. And I we spent 2 days basically being being banned. And I remember we like every single day like you know every 2 hours 3 hours you would message me something like yo let's do this. Let's do that. Let's not let's not wait anymore. I cannot do it. And again I'm saying it with a smile on my face. It wasn't back then like it was never a smile. It was like it was very painful. And I and I could feel how much pain you are going through as a as a creator of this thing. For for me it was like losing losing your your son because uh I built the channel with a effort that I never put it in something in my life and then I when I took a big decision that is quitting your job and working on what you really like for me was uh like losing the most important thing in that time at that time was the the channel. It still it still is. But >> you know it was it was a time where I had to take a lot of choices and it was a very hard time >> to to just watch to to search the the channel and don't see it anymore in the in the feed. >> Yeah. And there were a bunch of people already basically from day one of us getting banned just posting our content and then >> Yeah. in each one like their videos were actually getting good views and then everyone in the comments were like, "Where's the actual Zack Films? What happened to Zack Films? Like freez Films and all of this shit." Like I I didn't realize how strong the community was up until the point we lost the channel because how many channels out there can be deleted in like in one day and then basically have all of their true fans transition to other channels basically searching for you. Yeah, >> that's that's incredible. But then uh >> yeah, that that part that the community did was uh was huge. >> Yeah, >> I remember I was uh looking uh through fake copycat channels named with the same uh Zack Films name >> and I remember that people were commenting under this channels like this is not the new this is not the the real one what happened or whatever you know I felt like the people actually understood what was happening. >> Yeah. But till we didn't get the channel back, you know, I had no possibility to to communicate with anybody because Instagram was deleted was deleted and Tik Tok is not a good way to communicate. >> Obviously, >> I didn't show my face >> before that video where we got the channel back. >> Yeah. >> So, I didn't know I didn't know what to do, you know. So, it was very difficult. So, the part that the community did in my in my personal case, it was very important. It was really good. It was good to know that the people were understanding the the situation. >> At least they were like, you know, for many channels, they get removed and nobody cares. Nobody even remembers that this channel existed. Like people were actually like searching for our videos, they couldn't find it. >> Uh same way you just told me about the email that you got and like some of them just open our channel on daily basis. No matter if we post or not and they they couldn't find it and they were not like scared, but they they they just tried to dig deeper and find Yeah. >> Yeah. And then obviously we had the the appeal process. We had our MCN trying to help us out. Uh we had the uh the Twitter post that we did with the hashtag freezac films. But I think uh one thing that I didn't believe is possible, something that you made possible was contacting Zagd Films. you literally like emailed Zagd Films saying like, "Guys, I hope that you're not a part of this because like we're we're not trying to impersonate you. We're not like pretending to be you or anything. We have our own trademark. We have our own everything and we're just making, you know, funny jokes." So, how did that happen? And like why did you have so much belief that like this is going to help and this is going to work? I knew I knew that Zach Dims knew our channel. >> Yeah, >> I was 100% sure. >> Yeah, because it wasn't impossible that he didn't know about our channel >> back then. We I think we were we were at like 700 million views, maybe like 600 million views. So, we were kind of, you know, known in the space. >> Yeah, exactly. So, I I think it was one of the last chances I I had. I decided to to contact him the the team directly and try to to have a an answer and then gave us a solution and you know if if it was them if it if they they were the the people that they got the they did the report you know they probably they don't don't tell you you know if you don't then if you take illegal actions or something like that but they were completely honest uh with me and u I felt understood in a way that uh I wasn't expecting. It was really really important for me to have an answer from them because then we got the proof that >> they are not involved and you know with that with that email and then we ask for the permission to send to to use that email as a proof that >> yes >> they are not involved in this situation and then we posted on X Twitter whatever. Yeah. >> So it it was um it was really important they also answered me very very quickly. So >> yeah, I I I I also wanted to give them a shout out because not many people would do that and uh >> especially in the same competition because we >> yeah it's it's competitor they could just ignore it and again they're uh their karma is clear like they just didn't answer like they especially if they didn't do any reports then basically they they could just let us die this way but then uh yeah it was a lady from from the HR who who >> was like a manager or something. >> Yeah. So basically who replied saying that like they have no problem with our content. They they watched it they joined. Yeah. they were happy with the situation because it's part of the market >> again and they allowed us then to use the email uh and like screenshot it posted on axe as a confirmation and I think that's the exact post where team YouTube replied that uh like the way it happened again I wake up uh and I typically wake up early so I woke up is usually like uh 5:00 a.m. And I remember that was like probably that the most terrible day to wake up because I was like I was completely crushed by the whole situation. I needed to do some dirty job, you know, some some duty work, some some I don't know, like some uh you know, hard conversations, everything. The team was like messaging me every single day like, yo, like what's up with our salaries, etc. So, basically, it's one of the days that when you don't want to be alive. you just wake up and you're like, damn, let me, you know, let me sleep for like 3 more hours. But then I pull up my phone to uh to reschedu the alarm and I see the >> uh and I see the email uh no not the email actually I open YouTube studio YouTube Studio and I see that uh uh the channel is back in my like in a section with with channels and I'm like what the hell is that? I open Twitter and I see the the comment from team YouTube that uh yo guys, sorry for misunderstanding. We just reinstated the channel and I'm like I I I don't believe I still like my hands are already shaking. I don't believe it. I go on YouTube, I search Zack Films and I see the channel. I'm like, you know, immediately I woke up like that. Like, you know, I I was on my on my feet. I was like working up until you woke up. I think it was a couple hours later. And I think I sent you like 15 messages about like firstly it was just like you know congratulations then I was like okay cool now we need to do this this and that and then it's it was just a bunch of them and I think you didn't even read them like you just called me right away when you wake up. Yeah, because when I wake up, I generally don't take the phone for at least 30 minutes, so I don't watch it. But um I I remember that that that morning I just took my phone, I just put it in in in my pocket. Then I just went to to to wash my face or whatever. Then I took a [ __ ] and then >> Okay. Then I you know when when when you're on the in the toilet, you just start scrolling and whatever, you know. Then I I checked the messages and I got a bunch of team messages and say what the [ __ ] he wants now. Yeah. >> Because for me the situation was like completely I was destroyed. I was >> I was afraid. I was I don't know. I was sad. I was destroyed. >> So then I I look all of these messages and then I say yeah just call him what is happening. But I was I was not expecting that channel got uh got back. You know, I I was most scared that you was telling me like, "Look, we we have no possibility to to get the channel back. I got this idea. Let's do this. Let's do this." >> So, then I called you and then you told me I >> I have the lenses and I didn't have the lenses at the time. I was not I was completely not I was not alive in that moment. >> So, you you told me look at the channel got reinstated, reinstalled, whatever. And we got the channel back. So, I got so so excited in that moment. I know that I'm not someone that um shows a lot of emotions, but in that >> in that time it was it was crazy. It was one of the best feelings I had in that uh in that month >> for sure. It was it wasn't it wasn't expected. >> It was uh something that >> I probably would not expected directly from YouTube then. I mean to me too because I I think the first post on Axe we did like I did and because I have some audience like obviously it got pushed also we got so many people like spamming Zack films like freez Zack in comments that that was very nice. The initial pause did like 40,000 views or something and then we had absolutely no comments from team YouTube and that's not what typically happens. At least they say something like reached out reach out to us in the DMs we'll figure out the situation but they said absolutely nothing. And I was like, what is going on? Like 40,000 views, like 200 comments, you know, you you you're not even going to reply to this. We post another one with a with a screenshot of Zagni Films confirming that it's not them uh trying to record us and everything. And then basically it's the next morning when they finally reply and I think they did uh uh again they they did the research, they they tried to understand the situation, they reinstated the channel and uh damn. Yeah, probably one of the most enjoyable moments of 2025 for me as well because that was just like they crushed us completely and then they basically, you know, brought us back and I think Yeah, go ahead. >> No, it's I just want to say that the situation is getting worse and worse every day because if you go on X, you know what is happening around. >> Yeah. >> So, it's it's something that they need to fix. But the problem is like in authentic content uh all of these terminations of like AI channels I can understand them being banned for impersonation is is a different kind of cookie to crack. >> Yeah. I never seen somebody actually getting banned for impersonation. You know >> I think it's only the channels that actually take someone else's content and uh trying to launch some [ __ ] meme coins with the face of like stuff like this. so >> deepseek kind of uh you know uh kind of people. But then our channel had nothing to do with that. So that was that was really crazy. But then again, we were so lucky to get it back like 2 days of being banned and then I think right after that. >> Yeah, we we we wrote the MCN. We we No. Yeah, we do we did the MCN process before. >> Yeah. >> Then they I think they contact YouTube directly and then they said, "Yeah, let's do the appeal now." They send us all the message and then they text and everything. Yeah. >> Yeah. But that was useless because we got rejected in 1 hour or something. >> Yeah. So it was seal AI review that basically confirmed the AI decision. AI confirming AI [ __ ] >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it was u for me having the connection to have someone else that can do this kind of stuff was really important. Like if I was alone, I was probably not not here today. >> Yeah, >> definitely. Yes. So, it's really important to have a connections around the around the world. >> Yeah. And also just having multiple ways to kind of get in contact with them because for for many people that get terminated, they just don't have any way of getting a human review. And that's the problem. Like that's the main problem of YouTube right now because like I understand banning bad channels from your platform but telling them that there is a way to appeal but then not really giving this uh this way for creators that's what actually sucks. But it's good when you have connection because you can get the human review and most of the time it can solve the issue. >> Yeah. But I I as I said, I think they they need to fix the situation because uh if you if you scroll now on YouTube and I I did a video actually I I record my screen. I was scrolling around shorts and then I found this ad about this girl like taking out her uh pants or whatever. Then everything was blurred. But you know it was a ad. you know if Google accept those kind of ads there is a problem then if we got banned for impersonation on something that we own you know so it's I don't know how to describe Google in this >> double-sided policies yeah I understand that >> um we got the channel back we I think we like that same day you post the video uh revealing your face >> you never expected to do that um why did you decide to actually do it on the channel and uh how did you feel afterwards because you were so famous nobody knew who you are then you spoke um you know in front of I don't know how much like 200,000 people like saw it >> we had more subscribers if we're talking about subscribers I think we had more than >> yeah of course subscribers yes 500k like we were around those those numbers >> so how did that feel and why did you decide to like uncover who is the founder of Zach Films. >> Um, I have to rely again to my to my parents because they they told me the people people basically like your content, you know, they like your personality, they like your channel, so you should reveal yourself and show the people that there is a person behind the channel and, you know, we have a team and whatever. >> So, in my in my part didn't didn't change anything uh much more. I I feel I feel the same as I didn't didn't reveal my face before. >> So it's not the channel didn't change itself. Uh I had the feeling that I had to show myself uh and and show the people that uh we are working there is a there is a guy behind it. I just want to explain also my version because you know during that time a lot of people uh took the opportunity to make a video about us and what is happening and they just described something that was not real. Yeah, they took the opportunity to make some views but people didn't know the real situation. So showing myself and giving proof that uh I'm the owner, I'm the channel uh founder and showing myself could be the the best idea, you know, because probably there were there was no no other way to do that. >> Yeah. >> So thanks also to to to my parents, I decided to do that um and show myself, but then after that didn't change anything. >> Makes sense. I think that uh it also just deepened the connection that uh you had the channel had with the audience. Um watching you talk and uh in general like going through the termination together with the followers because the moment we posted the first video, you remember what happened to the comment section like they absolutely exploded. >> Everyone was saying Zack Films is back. Everyone was celebrating. It was like [ __ ] Christmas. So that was amazing. And I think that uh that was also one of the most uncommon, you know, choices, but still a very good and again it's something that parents recommend. So again, shout out to them. It's it's very cool. But also, uh it just to me it looks like a very uncommon way of running a YouTube channel that actually makes a lot of sense. Not many people do that, but it makes total sense. >> Yeah. Yeah. I 100% agree with that. But I say, you know, um I I got a confirmation, you know, I got a second opinion to with my my parents and also with my girlfriend, you know. I was like, yeah, if I shoot my face, nothing is going to change at the end, you know. If I have to go out and make some photos with the people, there is no problem, you know. The goal was never have never been to make uh money. I've never been to be famous, you know. So, I did it in a way that for me was very personal. So, and I thought it was the best choice to to do it. But I remember that day exactly. But it was um it was very hard to make the video. I think I I took I took it in three days. The first time was uh I was crying. The second time I didn't know what to say. And then at the third time I said, "Yeah, I say what I want and that's it." >> Makes sense. >> Yeah. >> At the beginning of the podcast, you said that uh your journey changed who you are. What did you mean by that? And how did YouTube changed you? >> Um YouTube changed me in a way that I was not expecting it. you know, you see me and we had the opportunity to meet in this days and I'm a very I'm very chill person. I don't show my my emotion because I don't I don't like to show me too much. Uh I always have been very private. I don't I don't like, you know, I'm not a social person. I don't have a personal profile. I don't, >> you know, for me it it's something that I don't really like. But YouTube uh learned me teach YouTube teached me that uh if you do something that the people like and enjoying it, the first thing you should do is just continue doing it. So um YouTube teached me that uh I can make something good in my in my journey in my life that is uh making people maybe happy or making them laugh you know it's not something that you see because we don't have the people in front of us because we are uh we are just making videos and we are not speaking to a crowd we are not you know >> in front of a lot of people but >> it teach me 100% to to enjoy the time with the to enjoy the time about what I'm doing and enjoy what I do for the people. >> Uh yeah, before that I was uh I was not like that. I was just you know living my life without a reason to do it if it's not to to continue working and make those money you need to survive and that's it. YouTube teached me to be to be more polite to the people and do and do something that is more how can I say that like u more uh important than maybe is just working and you know do your life. >> Yeah, >> it's something really important for me. This is also why I'm really um glad about the result we have today and I still uh I'm still happy about the all the people that are continue following us only for this reason because they maybe just watch the video because it it looks funny and that's it. It's really really important. I don't want to compare it to Mr. Beast, but you know Mr. Beast is makes all of those videos because it's Mr. Beast. It looks in the same It looks Yeah. the same way for me is the same perspective. So it's really really important as I said before it's 99% of my my day is based on that. >> I can see a mission in it. So it's not for the money as we discussed. It's not for the fame. You're not uh like you're not taking the inspiration from again people loving you and taking pictures with you like as you said you would rather just stay private and uh you know be very >> introverial. M >> but then just serving people in a way that you know they spend 30 seconds of their day laughing because of us that's that's a very good mission to have especially for for creators who obviously like that's your first attempt of YouTube and having already such a like high standard is incredible. It doesn't happen often. Um, what if we try to put it in more like a practical way? If there's someone fresh, someone complete beginner, or maybe they tried some YouTube before, they did some AI slop videos, they want to like increase their game, they want to have serious channel, uh, maybe they want to make people laugh, maybe they want to educate people, they want to make content on YouTube. What should they do? How would you approach YouTube if you were starting from scratch today? >> Um, for me the first thing is doing what uh what you like first. Like if you if for example if you like drawing and maybe you have a passion for uh I don't know for plants you can make a channel that is speaking only about nature and just in drawing in 2D >> or whatever. For me, the most important thing is not uh taking a topic just because it's famous and replicate that in in the same way. The first thing I I would recommend is to to make what you feel you like and what you feel uh it's really important for for for you, >> right? >> Like connecting to the to the drawing if maybe you you like drawing because uh I don't know you're you're doing it from when you was a child or something. and it's something that you really like to do it. Yeah, why not doing a channel that is speaking about the drawing? Yeah, like in drawing style. But then, you know, maybe you you did a school that is speaking about finance. So, then you can do a mix in the in the channel. But at the first place, I think the most important thing is that uh if you like something, you need to to focus on that. >> Yeah, I see that as a very uncommon way nowadays. So in your journey we see a lot of it like throughout the entire journey it's basically whatever you feel is best turns out to be best for the channel. Whatever the ideas that you like do the most uh views whatever the direction that you want to take for the channel. It turns out to be like uh you're like a golden goose you know you you just you know produce this golden eggs like all of the time. And for many people they have that in them but they ignore it. And that's what just kills me. Like I would see a a professional like historian like someone who falls in love with history but then they would make a channel about fitness for whatever reason. You have all of the knowledge and skills in you like why not to look inside instead of trying to chase chase trends. And I think if someone were was to take like one key thing out of this interview, it would be for me the most important insight is do what you like because what you like is what you do best. >> Yeah, I agree 100%. Yeah. Yeah, I definitely agree with that because uh if you it's like working uh like me before it was working in the warehouse. It wasn't something that I I was I like it because I was it was a normal job, but then at the end it wasn't something that I I wanted to do in my life. You know, it's the same thing in the channels. If you if you open a channel that is speaking about science, but you're not a science and you're just doing it that because it's working in other channels. It's I know it's uncommon and maybe it can take much more time than following the trends, but >> I think it can work definitely better especially in work in building a community in building something that is really really different from other channels. >> That's right. Well, it was pleasure speaking to you. It's uh >> it's pleasure working with you but then uh speaking to you and actually seeing what's what's inside Zack Films. I think to me at least it was very insightful. I hope that it was also valuable for for the viewers. If there's anything you want to you want to share as the last wisdom of Z films, go for it. I would say just uh focus on uh focus on yourself and uh focus on uh your vision. Just uh don't look at the trends. Just focus on what you really like to do and that's it. >> That's awesome. Well guys, it was Mario, the founder and the creative brain behind Zack Films. Appreciate you watching. See you next time. Thank you so much Mario. >> Thank you.

VIDEO 11
You've probably seen the same scenario on YouTube Shorts thousands of times. A channel blows up, makes 10, 15, 20K a month, but then views suddenly drop, and nobody watches it anymore. Well, the bad news is it's most likely going to happen to your channel as well. And this fall-off has nothing to do with your content. The real reason why it actually happens is your niche. And if you don't know who I am, my name is Tim. I'm running a portfolio of faceless YouTube channels that does over 700K per year. A few of the channels that you've probably seen are Art of War and Zack Films. And in today's video, I'm going to give you a breakdown of two types of faceless YouTube niches and why short-term trendbased niches are not always the best choice and how you can switch to long- form branded niches instead. And let's start breaking it down with the niche that's been blowing up recently. So, I'm talking about this niche that I'm sure you've seen on your timeline, uh, Dr. data and the AI skeleton that's been absolutely going crazy in the last couple of weeks. Uh, and as you can see here, I I've got the spreadsheet prepared with four long-term niches. Some of them are really spicy from the revenue perspective and also five short-term niches that are good and they make enough money, but I'm going to explain why I wouldn't recommend you go into them and how you should approach building short-term versus long- form channels. But let's first look at the skeleton and doctor data. So this channel generated $15,000 last month. Uh if I were to show you the content they produce, I'm pretty sure that you will recognize you've probably watched some of his videos. Uh they create hypothetical situations about typically about human anatomy. So they would create a video how long can you for how long can you drive or what happens if you stop wearing caps every day or what happens to the body if you um drink uh creatine take creatine on daily basis and etc. So typically they would go on chaptt create a bunch of uh hypothetical situations uh that can happen to a human body and then using very simple AI narration uh create their videos. The videos themselves are actually very easy to do. All you need is to prompt Gemini and Nana Banana to create a bunch of images. And then to animate them, you can either use free Grock or you can go with paid Clinki uh 3.0 which will give you the best quality and the most realistic uh videos as well. The style itself evolved from uh 3D animation and channels like Zagday Films or Art of War that I'm running. And uh for the first part it was considered as a competitor for the 3D niche. But what I think happened after that is uh they actually created a brand new niche for themselves. And since then this uh skeleton been absolutely everywhere. But Tim, what do you mean by uh simple niche? Um let me show you what I mean by that uh on uh this very simple example. because this channel been posting videos for probably like 2 months. And then what happened after they exploded is obviously this niche got leaked on Twitter or got leaked on uh YouTube and every hustler who wanted to make it with faceless YouTube shorts started trying to replicate it. Why? Because these videos cost about five bucks to make. Meaning almost every single human being on the planet can afford to run a channel like that. And if we simply Google their name, there is one 2 3 4 5 6 7 and the list continues. There is seven competitors with the exact same names who are posting the same exact videos stealing the exact ideas, the styles and absolutely everything from the original creator. And now the reason why it's bad is if you imagine a graph where your channel explodes and let's say it gets 7 million views and you just created a new niche for yourself 7 million views a day then when the competition kicks in the views start to naturally spread across multiple accounts because for YouTube algorithm it doesn't matter whether they show your videos or someone else's videos for YouTube the only thing that matters is user satisfaction. So if someone can deliver the same amount of videos at the same quality, YouTube will naturally give traffic to them just as well as they give uh to you. So most of the markets are very democratized and the moment the competition kicks in your views will naturally drop to some average number that people are getting in your industry in your niche no matter if you were the first one the second one the fifth one and etc. So in these niches where the barrier to entry is very small like AI slop kind of videos where almost everyone can generate those videos within uh 15 20 minutes you will naturally have hundreds or even thousands of potential competitors trying to steal what you've built even if you were the first one to invent it. And this is exactly what we see with uh videos like this or that that are not actually getting any views but again they keep saturating the niche meaning the lifespan of this channel is going to be about 2 to 3 months before the niche gets so saturated that you're not capable of generating any more views. So, the specifics of working with a short-term niche and with a channel that uh does make uh $15,000 with 99% profit margin is that you have to double down and post as much content as possible to squeeze the most out of the niche before it gets saturated. And then you need to reinvest this money and spend it on something long-term branded with a higher barrier to entry. And to show you what I mean by that, I will reveal uh this channel that uh that makes the least amount of money, $5,000 a month, and I'll show you what it actually means to run a branded YouTube channel. Um, so this one in particular, it's not doing good right now, but uh it was at its peak uh sometime in the past, and all they do is they post this 2D animated cartoons about different uh human organs interacting and talking to each other. This way in a very fun format they uh reveal some important uh anatomy facts and uh they kind of educate the audience. As you can see the views were really really strong at some point 32 20 million uh and etc. But most importantly what I wanted to show there is the higher barrier to entry because in order for you to replicate this particular channel what you need is uh a 2D animator who will be skilled at making those videos. You need the same style of humor to be able to get the same audience and entertain them in the same way. And you also need a bit of consistency because the problem working with animators is that most people hire them from Upwork or Fiverr and those people are very very inconsistent. Meaning if you were to try and steal uh this niche and try to replicate this channel, you would first need to find a reliable freelancer. You need to develop the style that is uh different enough from the original um to not be a copycat and after that obviously you need to set up your operations in a very professional way so that uh you can put out videos consistently. This naturally increases the barrier to entry and all of the hustlers with uh $0 of budget to invest who are trying to replicate doctor data, they won't be able to actually replicate this channel, which will naturally lower the competition. Eventually, the competition will kick in in almost any niche, but you buy yourself some time to monetize the niche while everyone else is figuring out ways uh to build channels in this category. It's the same thing that I did with the art war. So when I started Artware, nobody actually knew how to create those uh short form 3D animated videos and then also how to do it at scale. And we were the first channel after Zaki Films who was able to post 60 videos a month of this uh 3D animated quality. And even if at the beginning the short-term niches and long-term niches might seem like they're making the same money, so why would you spend time figuring out the long-term approach? it always starts to appear after couple months of you actually paying attention to the uh short-term channel. So I remember there was a big channel uh Infin Diary who did videos about u like wholesome who just posted wholesome commentary videos and their channel at some point did 1 billion views in a single months. I think was the third months that uh this channel was posting content and it looked like an amazing niche and everyone started to get in. everyone started doing the same exact videos which again saturated the niche and which uh eventually caused uh the views on this channel uh to die which I'm going to show you right now. So if we switch to one year you will see that uh the channel basically did 500 million views in August then a billion views in September 1.4 million views in October and then look how quickly the niche died out. Now they're making 160 million views which is approximately uh $10,000 a month while in October they used to generate I think more than 100 uh K from from YouTube shorts alone. So this is the graph that you will typically get from running short-term niches. And uh to give you another example of how that could look like uh let's uh let's go with a second niche uh the seagence films. And these guys, they're doing uh AI videos again trying to replicate 3D because everyone understands that uh 3D is probably the best niche of all in terms of uh the amount of views. Zakde Films uh alone is pulling in uh 700 million views in 7 days. So like 100 million views every single day on this channel. So naturally, everyone tries to replicate him. But again, because the guy has a team of animators, more than 70 people right now, who are constantly making those videos for him, and his videos cost like a,000 bucks each, not everyone, and I'm pretty sure that no one can actually replicate his strategy. So, his barrier to entry is too high. What people can do is they can try and use uh AI tools to replicate some of his success. And if we look at this views u yes some of the videos did get uh good views. So let's say uh if we watch uh this video we will see that the narration is very similar to what Zak Films does or art where my channel does uh that obviously they try to replicate some animated scenes with AI but obviously it doesn't look very awkward and the the reason why 3D animated niche itself blows up so crazy is because every single video is very awkward and you can show something that people have never seen before in a a very precise format and AI doesn't have that and I don't think that it's going to change anytime soon. So even if the channel did some really good views uh recently, I still don't think that uh it is a good niche for you to start and I wouldn't recommend you do anything like that because again we can look at the graph. Uh this is what's going to happen. The question is this channel did 1.4 4 billion views, which was enough. Like they I'm pretty sure they they make significant income and they were super happy with this uh performance. But imagine if it's not 1.4 billion, but it's actually 14 million views and then it dies out to just um five 3 5,000 views per video. It's not going to make you any money. You will waste months of your time figuring out the niche that's uh that just simply uh not worth it. and compare that to the same income on a branded channel. Let's uh reveal uh Binder Films. And with him, the specifics of his channel is he's still doing 2D animation and he's still making $3,000 a month. But the reason why his $3,000 a month are more important or more valuable is because he will be able to generate $3,000 for the first six months. And then when a competitor's channel um from uh like AI 3D when this channel dies out and the competition kicks in and the everyone replicates the same style, their views are going to drop. But then Ber will have way longer lifespan of his niche because less people are prepared to figure out 2D animation and to figure out systems to actually create those cartoons are getting the same number of views but these views are more valuable. So when you think about niches, if you don't have any income or you don't have any cash to invest and uh spend on the team salaries, of course go do some AI channels. Go do some simple niches. But the moment you get the income from those uh working AI channels, 35 $10,000. Do not spend time, do not waste your time opening more AI channels. funnel all of this cash into building real teams and systems on the branded side of YouTube because channels like this first they they don't risk getting uh saturated. They don't risk getting terminated for any inauthentic content claims or any other termination reasons. They basically don't apply for 2D and 3D animation. Secondly, what's most important is those channels are long-term. that are very very long-term plays that a you can sell for bigger acts if you want to exit the channel and b that will allow you to generate a more consistent income for a longer period of time. So Bader was uh out there for the last couple of months and his views and revenue were very very consistent again because since he blew up nobody actually tried to replicate him. Why? Because it's hard because there is a barrier to entry. This is a fundamental difference between simple niches and the long-term highquality niches. And we haven't even got into the most interesting niches that I will reveal later in the video. But let's look at uh the niche that also generates $3,000 but has a huge huge potential. uh which is in my opinion like one of my favorites from uh the simplest ones because they literally used the niche bending technique and proved uh on a real life example that it works like crazy. Let's start with the numbers. So this channel posted nine videos. They generated 31 million views and gained 42,000 subscribers from simple AI videos. So the channel cost them probably like 30 bucks and maybe couple hours. And then all of their videos got quite significant number of views. But then one of them blew up to 23 million views. Another one is at three, one more at 3 million. And what they did is they took Dr. Data and the skeleton that we discussed earlier in this video and they banned this niche towards animals towards uh wholesome videos and towards hypothetical interesting videos but about animals. The strategy that they used is called the niche bending. This is when you take a prune format and uh you bring it from one market to another. Basically creating a unique niche for yourself. Nobody ever did this and this is probably why it blew up so hard and they were able to monopolize the niche for themselves before the competition kicked in. But then the problem is the moment they did it, the moment they generated 23 million views, there are people right now as I'm recording this video who are trying to prompt us, who are trying to create the same quality videos and they will start posting very very soon. And because this channel is only now posting one video a day, they're going to get wiped out within the next couple weeks because you don't even understand how brutal the competition is in those simple AI niches. and you you you don't see it until it actually kicks in and your channel and your niche gets saturated within couple of days. So with this one, amazing niche band, beautifully crafted, uh good idea, but then again, if they don't double down now and squeeze 15, 20, 30k out of this channel, it's going to die out. So the lifespan of this channel is probably going to be just a few months. Oh, and by the way, as long as we talked about niche bending, I just wanted to let you know that uh this month, February 25th, I'm actually hosting a live niche bending workshop where I'm going to give you 500 plus handpicked niches. And uh as you can see here, the data on this spreadsheet and uh in this video was taken from uh the niche hunter, a database of over 500 plus handpicked branded niches that I'm going to give to you during this live workshop. So, if you want to get access to 500 plus branded YouTube niches that you can start right now, plus have my own AI tool that will do the niche bending for you creating a unique niche. Um, so this way you have more than 1,000 unique combinations and the potential niches to start from. If you want to have all of that plus talk to me on a call and personally validate uh your niche, then uh you will find link uh the first link in the description or in a pin comment. Uh come to the live workshop. You're not going to regret it. Besides just giving you nine niches, I'm going to give you 500 more. And uh potentially it will create so many ideas uh in your head that you'll finally start uh YouTube automation and uh I'll be able to ensure that you join and uh you invest your time and uh resources uh in a proven niche where you actually get a chance uh to figure it out. So the link is somewhere down below. uh check it out. And uh let's continue with another branded channel that does uh $10,000 a month that I actually very like because they were able to distribute their content across multiple channels and all of them work. So what's interesting about this one is the moment you go branded and long-term, then you can also distribute your content across multiple channels. So, what this guy does, and I think it's one of the smartest uh 2D channels right now on the platform. So, it's a mix of personal brand and the actual 2D animated style. Some of his best videos are 73 27 million views, 26 million views. Amazing numbers. And if you look at the videos, it's actually 2D animated characters with his head and different uh faces. And uh again he's just telling stories that he saw on Zakde Film's channel or Law by Mike channel. Very simple stories. You can find them on uh ChanD but it's not about stories. It's about the format and because it's branded because it's very unique and uh again nobody else is doing it right now. He was able to build not one but actually three channels each doing from 10 to $15,000 a month. So, his business is now generating close to $50,000 a month because he goes branded long-term way. So, uh this one is his English channel. This one is uh his uh I think this one is Brazil and this one is Espanol. Obviously, the RPMs are not going to be uh really good there. But because he also posts uh compilations of his videos on lawn form, I'm sure that these channels generate consistent five figures a month. And the most important part for me is not how much he makes per month, but for how long can he sustain this income. And obviously with this niche, he can probably uh keep generating money from it for months or even years to come. Unlike our next channel that is uh doing $7,000 a month, but again, it's from a simple niche list. And this is exactly what we discussed. Infin Diary, the channel that generated 1.5 billion views just a couple months ago, but now they're back at $7,000. A very sad story, but a very real case scenario that will happen to your channel as well if you're running uh commentary AI slop, if you're running any simple niche that uh basically kids and YouTube hustlers are able to replicate. One thing that I really want you to remember is that because of how competitive the market is, the moment you become popular, the moment your first videos blow up, there's going to be people who will try and copy you. Even I running a 3D animated channel, a very high quality branded uh you know long-term niche. Even I created myself competitors by showing how we do it online. Uh there's channels like Outliners who somehow figured out the style uh that they were able to replicate. Uh there are channels like Nikon Entertain who came with a niche band and they uh they decided to go the with the humor. And there's many other channels who actually tried to replicate. Some of them failed. Some of them succeeded. But the point is no matter how hard your niche is, someone will come and try to steal it. But the higher barrier to entry you choose, the less likely they going to win and the less people are actually going to try it. And that's why my favorite channel from this list is actually Renat, the channel that blew up in 2D animated style that is similar to what Films does, but because he also branded it differently, he was able to create a niche solely for himself. And uh let me show you something from his stats because I think it's very important and insightful. This channel was actually doing nowhere near 100 million views a month and it was doing it for a very long time for couple months in a row. Uh they were actually struggling with views but because it was unique, it was branded right away. Uh then they were able to figure out the right strategy and look what happened after. So, as I said, they were doing anywhere between 20 and 60 million views for almost a year, actually. And then on November, they blew up to 44 million views. Then it was 300 million views in December, and then it was uh 500 million views in January. So when you're running a branded YouTube channel, you a protect yourself from competition, b you manage to get like you will generate money more consistently because your niche is not going to die out and then c you have a chance that at some point the algorithm will pick up your videos and it will blow them up to crazy numbers like what happened to Renro because they will constantly try new styles and once they came up with square hats and the cartoonish basically comic style animation s their videos absolutely exploded. If we look at the most popular ones, 35, 20, 17 million views and etc. They blew up in November. Still, no one has tried to replicate their success because how hard it actually is to produce those videos. So compare the skeleton that got stolen basically in a week and Renrod who was doing half a billion views a month for like three like four solid months and nobody actually tried to replicate them. That's what I mean by high barrier to entry. That's what I highly encourage you to do if you're going to start a faceless YouTube channel in 2026. So this is the difference between uh short-term and long-term niches. And if you want to know more about how each one of them works and how you should use short-term versus long- form niches, then I highly encourage you to come to the niche bending workshop that we're hosting on February 25th. You'll find a link down below. You'll get three incredible bonuses. One of them is two weeks of niche bending boot camp in a private Telegram chat with me. Find the link, join the workshop and I'll see you on the other

In this video, I'm going to show you the entire process of how I ideulate, script, and then make faceless YouTube shirts that make more than a thousand bucks per every video we post. This is something that I was able to achieve with my flagship channel more than 70 times 70. If you look at this colum, you will see that this YouTube short made me $7,000. Uh this one as well, 6.7 6K. And if I scroll all the way down, all of those shorts make me more than four figures each one of those. And keep in mind these are just 20 90 secondond videos uh that are made by my team. So I literally don't spend any time uh actually making those videos. Um so this is something that we achieved once on this channel more than 70 times on this channel and then on other channels as well as you can see here here and here. Uh all of those videos are making me more than four figures and all of them are simple YouTube shirts. So, in this video, I'm going to break down the single most important strategy to understand while searching for ideas for your YouTube charts. But first, why should you even listen to me and this video? Because the reason is actually very simple because unlike everyone else, I didn't just start YouTube channel at 15 and then got rich at 16. My journey was uh way harder than uh most of those people uh that you see on YouTube. Uh, I spent five years, five actual years building my content agency and scaling it to $98,000 a month. And we did short form content for brands like Sephora. I managed a team of 13 people since I was 20 years old. And I even successfully sold a part of my agency to an investor. And that's when I decided to buy my uh first ever dream car around 2 years ago. So my journey was not simple. And with all of that background, I decided to start uh YouTube. So YouTube is not my first business and uh this is actually something that I approach from the business perspective just because I have years of experience like that running my own agency and that's when I launched the art of war channel the YouTube shorts brand that is now doing 40 to 50k a month 3.7 billion views uh 260k made only from AdSense we also had uh an extra 20k from Tik Tok uh money from Facebook and brand deal uh and recently I invested in three more branded channels, adding them to the portfolio that is now doing over 5 billion views per year. But today's video is not about me. It's actually about you and how you find fresh viral ideas for your channels. So, let's start at the very beginning. How do you find those ideas? To consistently find those ideas, you need Vid IQ. So, number one thing I actually recommend you do is to create a list of competitors in different content categories and uh uh even formats. So for example, this is a list of competitors for one of my channel as you can see which uh this list has direct competitors. It has long form competitors that we can then adapt for short form. It has other languages competitors uh 2D competitors and etc. So you want to have a variety of different accounts that you take inspiration from. Long form, short form, uh 2D, 3D, talking hat creators, uh influencers, anyone you can take ideas from, add them to the spreadsheet because then we will need them. Then one thing you do after that is you go to Vid IQ. I have Vid IQ right here. Uh so you go to VidIQ, you go to competitors, and then here you just keep adding those uh competitors here until you have a like a full list of accounts that you will pay attention to. And then uh what you do is uh you can filter them out by let's say the amount of video uh views they have or uh the amount of views they generated this week or last week and etc. And uh you will be able to see their most popular videos by the outlier score. This is very important. And what I often do here is I go to my competitors, the ones that interest me the most right now. I rank the videos by the outlier score just to find uh the ones with uh the biggest one. And what I would do is I would just simply look into those ideas and some of them I would use directly and some of them I would adapt using the uh framework that I'm going to show you uh in a second. So the two key strategies here is you can use views per hour. So here you can simply rank the videos by the amount of views they're getting at this exact moment. So you can predict how many more views it can potentially get. This way you can copy the videos early on without them getting crazy views just yet. Uh and number one, you can use the the weekly views tracker to see what channel are currently outperforming the rest. So for example, I would go down here and I would see that this this week was quite good week on YouTube. As you can see, every single channel kind of outperform its results last week besides just uh Richi who's drastically underperforming. or for example like doggyizuko performed like 400% more than usual, I would probably just go to this page and see what happened and the why their videos are performing that well. So this is one of those strategies. And then once you have the original ideas, once you have all of those videos collected from your competitors and you know exactly what you want to copy, you don't want to copy them directly. You don't want to just steal those ideas. You want to scale them. Meaning you want to turn every idea into a list of multiple ideas. So every viral video has at least five variations or maybe even 10 variations of ideas and uh uh that will also work based on the same exact viral triggers. So what you do next is you go to charge or cla but I recommend you actually go on both and uh put the same prompts into both because for ideiation I've realized that some days for some reason charg performs better than cloth and some days cloth performs better than chgpt. I don't know why it happens but uh I just ended up using both because sometimes I like the ideas from chat and sometimes I I really love the ideas from clot. So, I would recommend you still do both of them. Let's say I want to check the videos from Zakday Films today, right? Uh this I'll go this week. So, this video has the most views. I'll copy the link to this video. I'll go to no GPT. I would paste the link there. And again, once you sign up, it's free. It's very easy to do. You'll get the transcript of this video. And then using that transcript, I will then ask Claudi and not and charge to create me multiple ideas just like this one. uh using this prompt. So you're a viral uh viral content strategist uh using this script and here you paste the transcript of the video that you just copied. Uh your task is to identify the exact viral triggers and then create X meaning 10 ideas, 15 ideas, you can put whatever number you want here. Uh they use the same viral triggers and structure. This will give you a list of viral ideas with the same exact viral triggers and viral hooks that AI will come up for you. So, for example, if the original video is what happens if you shoot a bullet at a crocodile, then a bunch of different ideas are going to be what happens if you shoot at an elephant at at a gorilla, at a at a beer, etc. So, AI will basically replace one or two things in the original video and make it completely new video, but the video that will follow the viral format. So, this is probably the most important part of coming up with viral content. And what I also recommend you do is besides just using this uh prompt, split test it with uh a simpler version of it because again AI sometimes more professional prompts like this one work. But sometimes I actually see quite good success with a very simple prompt. Here's the video from my competitor. Please find me 15 ideas about what happens if you shoot at someone that has the same viral potential but a different animal, for example. And you just split test this two and you see which one works best. And after that what you need to do is to create a list uh ideas that you chose and uh uh basically just uh put them in a spreadsheet. Keep everything organized. The spreadsheet for ideas should look something like this one. Uh something where you put the formats and the idea summary and references as well. Every single idea of yours should have a reference. Uh and then also you can rank them yourself. Approved, not approved. U again don't uh don't be gentle with ideas. Your approval score should be not more than 30%. So only one out of three ideas should actually be executed. That's the nature of coming up with content. Uh and yeah, as I said, don't be generous. Kill your ideas. Um you know, kill most of your ideas most of the time because that's the only way you can get higher quality of videos. Uh and then use the third step, the real world validation, which many people ignore, but it actually is one of the keys to success on YouTube. Because before you have data from YouTube, before you have analytics and comments and uh feedback from the real audience, you still need feedback on your ideas, you still don't understand what is good and what is bad just yet. You need a little bit of guidance, a little bit of direction there. So, uh how do you get the real world feedback? go out there and you pitch your idea or script to someone. It can be your friend. It can be your business partner. It can be your girlfriend or your parents. Listen to what they say and improve your content. Improve your idea. Improve your script based on their feedback, especially if they are your target audience. Because remember that behind every view that you see on your YouTube studio is a real person who just watched this piece of content. meaning they are probably having the same traits, the same characteristics like many people in your life. And if you're creating very entertaining generic content, then maybe your parents are going to watch it, maybe your friends are going to watch it, maybe they are your target audience. So ask them for their feedback. And uh again, many of you might say that it is stupid, but I took my own channel from zero to the first 100 million views doing exactly that. I had a girlfriend, my girlfriend who actually recommended me some of the ideas and I pitched her other ideas and some of them she called stupid and I decided not to go forward with them and some of them were actually very smart and they made her laugh and that's the ideas we ended up executing. I remember uh one of my first ever videos to hit 20 million views was the video that she actually recommended me. So again, uh remember to pitch your ideas in the real life. And if everyone you tell your ideas to tells you that they absolutely love it, the the idea is validated and uh ready to be executed. So you can go ahead and create a video about it. And a story about my channel uh related to this exact process is that I did the exact same thing, the exact three steps that I just showed you, and I posted seven videos on a on a brand new uh channel. It wasn't brand new. It was aged, but still like it was no videos. So, seven videos posted from scratch. My first six got stuck at 50,000 views, but then the seventh one blew up, got monetized, and made us $1.1,000. I can show you how it looked like from uh the inside of the YouTube studio. If I go to shorts, if I go to the first ones, you will see that the first ever video I posted on January 27th. This is the seventh video that I posted that blew up from zero to 80k views in a single day. Then 2 million views on that on day two. And then by day four, it was 16 million. We got monetized there and then slowly kind of stopped, but then it still made us our first $1,000, which proves the point that you can simply follow this three steps. Find viral ideas through competitors in Vid IQ. Then uh scale those ideas using simple prompts with AI and then validate those ideas in the real world by talking to your friends, girlfriends, parents or someone. And if you do that enough times, it will essentially blow up and get to uh some crazy views. But what if you are still unsure if the idea you come up with is going to work? Then I have a bonus for you at the end of this video. For a limited time only, this is actually the first time I'm doing something like this. I'm doing idea reviews for my loyal fans and followers. And if you watch the video up until this point, you're truly a follower of mine, a fan of mine. So, I want to give it to you as a bonus right now using the method from this video, find and adapt a viral YouTube short or long form idea for your specific niche. Then go to my Instagram and DM me idea for review. This should be the title of your of your message. And then add the description of your idea. tell me like, "Tim, I want to create a video about X, Y, and Z, and this is why I think it should work." Uh, and I'm going to see it. I'm going to look at it as a a regular YouTube user, and uh I will reply to you with a voice note giving you feedback on what I would improve. So, this way we can do an idea, review, and you can post a video that is guaranteed to work because I gave you the review of it and I validated it before you posted it. Um, not my team, not my assistant, me and only me. and I will reply with a voice note giving you enough direction so you can execute this idea moving forward. It's basically like renting my creative brain. A brain that comes up with hundreds of videos uh that made more than uh $1,000 each one of them. So, if you want to rent it and uh then just uh find the next viral video idea and uh send it to me on Instagram and I'll see you

While everyone else is obsessing over simple AI niches [music] trying to find the cheapest way of running a faceless YouTube channel, most of these channels get hit with inauthentic [music] content strikes and YouTube removes them without paying a huge chunks of their revenue. That's why my team and I have spent the last months trying to find the seven best faceless YouTube [music] niches that has zero risk, small competition, and the biggest views potential in 2026. And if you don't know who I am, my name is Tim. I'm running Art [music] of War and a portfolio of branded faceless channels that does around 700K per year. This is our weekly niche digest. Let's get to work. Our first YouTube channel makes $5,000 a month posting simple AI skeletons on YouTube shirts. His most popular video got 15 million views. And since then, this skeleton has been everywhere. Initially, these videos were trying to copy the 3D style explainers, but instead of competing with 3D, I actually think they created a brand new format that the audience actually wants. Essentially, it's a combination of AI slop and explainers that both worked very well in the past. And the way you make those videos is very simple. You first write a bunch of scripts using Claw AI, then generate a skeleton with Nana Banana, and then simply animate it with Grock or Clink AI. The format is still very untapped. Only a few channels are using it. So, if you can come up with a subniche your channel is going to be about. This niche is a great way to make your first $3 to $5,000 a month with Faceless YouTube. There is a channel on YouTube that took a meme, turned it into a thumbnail, and ended up getting 1.3 million views, making $5.2,000 because of a simple technique I call the concept bridging. This is when you take something that everyone knows and understands, like this penguin that exploded recently, and you use it to describe the new concept. But because it's based on a popular cultural piece, like a meme, people already have their feelings about it pre-built. Meaning, if I respect a penguin that goes to the mountains and get inspired by him, I will also respect the character you breach with him. This is the easiest way to insert trust, hate, love, or whatever emotion you want your viewers to feel. And more than that, adapting popular memes for your thumbnails is going to be one of the most powerful strategies in 2026. Our next YouTube channel made $60,000 a month from a simple technique anyone can use. So about a year ago, there was a booming format. Why it sucks to be something? And these guys being fans of fiction and DC movies adapted this format to fictional universes. This is what I call n bending. And overall there are 10 major categories you can bend this format into when it was popping. And while everyone else was talking about animals or history, they covered the most exciting and creative market by combining a viral format with a personal interests. The videos themselves are not that hard to make. A single 2D animator can do two to three videos [music] of those per month. But these guys seem to have a serious hiring problem, which is why they only posted 23 videos in [music] an entire year. That's why I always say that uh besides catching the right niche, you also [music] need a team and SOPs to actually make it work. Hey, real quick. All of these niches I'm talking about today were taken [music] from our internal tool I call niche hunter. This is where my team that runs a portfolio of my branded faceless channels collects the best niches of the months [music] and I personally handpicked them and verify. Right now it includes more than 500 channels, proven filters that actually work and an AI assistant that [music] does the niche bending for you. Until now, access to this database was private [music] and uh we've been using it to dominate niches ourselves. But soon I'm planning to release it publicly [music] at a price that everyone can enjoy. On the screen you see a QR code. Scan it and you will see the website [music] explaining what this tool is about and how can you get early access to that. A car guy made $48,000 posting very simple car videos animated with memes. His most popular video is about cars from Facebook marketplace and this video alone made him $7,000. The content itself is not complicated. It's basically a bunch of photos, screenshots, and memes animated [music] in Premiere Pro. Basically, any editor in the world can replicate this in 15 minutes. But the reason why these videos worked so well is what I call the skill barrier to entry. The person running [music] this channel understands the niche so deeply that his memes and jokes hit the audience so hard they cannot stop watching. That is something AI cannot replicate no matter the prompts. So if you are looking for an AI proof niche, then go for something funny and focus on the topics you deeply care about. What if everyone pointed a laser at the moon? This video got 5 million views on YouTube and made his creator 25,000 because of a simple strategy nobody seemed to notice. The What If channel exploded to 132 million views with only 55 videos. [music] And the reason for their rapid success is that they simply animate the what if books and adapt them for the YouTube algorithm. Meaning they take something that already has the proof of concept and clearly worked in a book format, slightly changed the pacing, animated the video, and that's it. That's how the channel generated 6 million views and around $25,000 monthly. [music] So most of the time with Faceless YouTube, you don't need to create content. You can simply package something that already exists and get paid for repurposing books, movies, or even entire philosophies. What happens when you put a dress on Kim Jun and place him on his knees between two Delta IV soldiers? Your video about it explodes to 1.4 million views making you $7,000 purely because of the clickbait. Because this channel was posting AI generated videos of hypothetical situations and the potential of the US Army, those videos had little to no chance to work until they came up with this thumbnail format. It's controversial. It's clickbaity and it's perfect for this style of content. And once again, it proves that the clickbaity packaging is more important than the video itself. Because getting people to click is 80% of the work, while getting them to watch is only 20. This YouTube channel generated $10,000 from military videos made with AI. Their most popular video got 1.1 million views, and its ideas, script, voice, and footage are clearly very simple AI generations. [music] Overall, military is a very popular niche. We've seen channels do well with very simple styles or more complex ones like my art of war channel. But these guys actually went for the 2D animated whiteboard style but replicated it with AI. And if you do this properly, you can create up to 30 videos a month quickly fluiding the algorithm. However, these guys also seem to have the uh hiring or system issue because their consistency wasn't great. So if you can take inspiration from this and combine it with a proper team structure, you can easily dominate this uh fresh and powerful niche. All right, so these were the seven best niches of the week. As I mentioned before, I'm preparing the niche hunter tool for launch in the coming weeks. [music] So if you want to lock in the best price and get access to the 500 unique niches with niche bending tools inside, join the wait list right now. You'll find the link down below, plus the QR code on the screen. I've been loving this tool way more than any niche research methods that currently exist on the market. And if you want more personalized help, I still have a few one-on-one mentorship slots available. The link is down below just as well. See you next week.

How much were you making uh with those uh commentary channels that you did? >> Maybe with the AdSense I think I would have made like maybe 3K or 4K. >> I see this inconsistency everywhere across the commentary niche. >> That was the main issue I was facing. >> Can you share your uh your channel right now? Can you show the stats and uh kind of walk me through what happened during the last 90 days? >> All right. So, I'm here with Seap. SAP is a is a client of mine, someone who went through the entire art of YouTube program. And uh today we're recording a podcast, an interview with him to to see what he has achieved and what are the results after going through the entire program and launching a branded uh YouTube shorts channel uh with the art of YouTube system. Seb, welcome to the pot. >> Thank you. Thanks for having me. >> Of course. Uh and uh I'm actually super excited to record this because for many people watching it, it's not going to be just uh another interview they watch. It's also going to be a master class on you know how quickly things can change when you take the uh the different approach to to what everyone else is doing because uh uh a part of what what I put in the foundation of the program is making sure that you have as little competition as possible in a in the niches where uh you kind of enter and uh create content and I think you did absolutely like amazing job uh doing this part like the fundamental part of actually chooing in the market and uh the niche and the uh content format. Um so we're going to talk about that without going too deep into details because obviously we don't want to you know create too many competitors uh for you. So we're going to keep it private but at the same time I'd love you to to share uh the insights and the knowledge that you kind of acquired in the process. Um so can you let people know a little bit more about yourself about SAP basically.0 zero, someone who came into the program. Who were you when we just started working together? Uh, and then we'll talk about who are you now. >> Sure. Yeah. Um, so before I joined, I had ran some channels in the past. Sometimes I did all right, like sometimes I did some okay revenue. Um, at the end of the day, I was still just Yeah, I mean, when your content is mainly focused on the editing side of things, which sometimes is a bit hard to outsource well, then you're just kind of in a glorified freelancer position basically. So, how it always used to be was I was just editing videos every single day and if I missed a week or a couple of days, you know, there wouldn't be any any videos. Um, so yeah, I was just doing a lot of editing every single day. um didn't yet didn't have a team. Um did everything by myself. Yeah, it just really felt like I had hit a ceiling um which I just couldn't get through because um yeah, basically all of the niches I did were um yeah, easy to enter and yeah, was kind of looking for the next step and and that's when I found you. >> Yeah, makes sense. And then uh can you walk me through an approximate numbers like how much were you making uh with those uh commentary channels that you did? >> Yeah. Um yeah, it was really it was always different. Um I think the best month I had was like >> [clears throat] >> um 8K profit in a single month, but this was also back when music deals were still at its at its peak. So I mean >> um >> maybe with AdSense I think I would have made like maybe 3K or 4K and then with AdSense apart from music deals I think I also had like maybe a 5k month or something like that. So yeah nothing crazy but it was also like I would have the I think I had the 8k month and then after that I think I had I made 1k or 2k and then after that I think I made 1k or even less. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. was just always going up and down but never crossed the 10k line. >> Yeah, makes sense. Uh I I see this inconsistency everywhere across the commentary niche and even the biggest channels like let's say bold motivation or channels like that once they hit this level so to say it always goes down after that because like there's so much competition and people who are just trying to enter those niches. But were there any other problems besides uh just the inconsistency? Like what made you basically want to switch and uh search for the next step for you? Like what were the problems that you faced while you were doing this uh commentary niche? Um yeah, I kind of the main thing I kind of already went over was um that you know the video um like I mean today still like a lot of the channels output is dependent on me of course but there's kind of like a slight delay. Let's say for example I don't work for one week even though I work every single day but let's say I didn't work for a week. >> Yeah. >> Um the videos would still kind of keep coming. Maybe they wouldn't be as good but you kind of have a room to little bit of room to play with. Um, right. And yeah, with commentary, it's just brutal. You know, if you miss um two days, if you're sick for two days, well, then it's two days, no videos. >> Um, and yeah, when you combine that with the fact that it's so easy to to get saturated, um, I got mainly really annoyed by the fact that it just wasn't a a good income to to live off. You know, with these branded channels, it can get really consistent, sometimes even more consistent than some uh long form channels even. Um so yeah that was that was the main issue I was facing and the main thing I really wanted to gain from these branded channels was to have a consistent monthly uh income. >> Right. Right. I see. And uh when we talk about this uh consistent monthly income uh can you share your uh your channel right now? Can you show the stats and uh kind of walk me through what happened during the last 90 days uh since we basically started posting or maybe even before than that like how did we uh even come up with this stuff? >> Uh where do you want me to start with like the analytics? >> Yeah, let's go let's go through the analytics. I think people are are going to be very curious to see uh let's go for 90 days because I think we started posting approximately like 90 days ago. >> Yeah. Yeah, I think so. So yeah, last 90 days is 50K right now. Just crossed 50K. >> Nice. >> Yeah, this really uh really cool. Um we'll reach that as well. Um >> yeah, kind of a little dip now just because of some holidays and New Years and stuff like that. So um yeah, that kind of explains this explains this graph here. Um, but yeah, if once we start posting daily again, I'm sure we'll have like a consistent 20 million real time at least like we like we did here. >> Um, >> yeah. Yeah. >> Half a million followers. So half a million followers, half a billion views and then 50 50k in revenue. And uh when did we start posting exactly? Was it like right here when the graph basically starts or >> uh yeah this yeah because this is where the channel got monetized and this is when I was still posting the old uh videos. >> Amazing. >> So yeah over here I think 8th yeah 16th of October was the first video. >> 16th of October was the first video and then basically your first day of monetization you made 600 bucks. >> Yeah. >> I And I think back then you only had like two videos posted or something like this. >> Yeah. It's also because I feel like the the niche was so new still that just back then every single video I posted went completely crazy. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> And yet kind of >> uh in a sense got lucky with the the first two videos also being like really uh good ones. We I instantly um you instantly gave me like a really experienced and good animator and I already had some experience with script writing so yeah it just it just popped up straight away. Yeah, it's one of the most like explosive like growth graphs I I saw and uh one of the you're one of the f like fastest people in the program to to reach four figure days with shorts uh which is like on its own like a super crazy achievement but get there in in less than I think less than a week since you got monetized that's uh that's just super crazy. >> So how did it feel? >> Sorry. Uh, how did it feel? >> Oh, yeah. I felt amazing, man. Um, I already had a feeling that this niche could just do extremely [clears throat] well because I kind of saw the opportunity, but um to see that it instantly got picked up by the algorithm because um you know, it's branded content and people uh yeah, that that stuff usually just pops way sooner. Um and combining that with the channel which was monetized right away. It's yeah it's just an amazing feeling to um yeah also make the investment you know in your in your coaching and stuff like that and then to um yeah basically instantly see the result that's that's what everyone wants right so yeah it's not amazing. >> Yeah. Yeah. Okay makes sense. Uh and on that note, I actually wanted to ask you so what essentially made you uh like made you decide to to join the program like at which at what specific mo moment you were like oh yeah I definitely need to do that. >> Yeah. Um yeah I was like in the middle of the of the period where I was a bit frustrated like yeah like I just explained you know these commentary channels were just so volatile and I never I also didn't really Yeah. I found it because of the volatility. I just did not really enjoy it. It was not something um I saw the opportunity with yours, but it just wasn't really fun back then for me. Um and yeah, I think I first saw you on Daniel's video and yeah, I really I really enjoyed that but wasn't really um yeah, I don't even think I knew about the program back then and also I wasn't really thinking about starting a branded channel. Um then I saw some of your posts on X and I remember just being really impressed with uh in how much detail you went about the channel with numbers systems everything like that and especially in the short space and I think even in the long form space that's just something which is really unheard of to really treat this stuff um as a business you know a lot of people still see it as a side hustle or as a quick kind of money grab um and yeah my personality is always been whenever I make a uh or whenever I have a good amount of money saved up, I always try to uh invest it back into myself and yeah, investing into you just really seemed like the like the right move at that at that time for me. >> Right. I see. And uh were there uh anything that you were worrying about? Because I hear from a lot of people that comparing to commentary for example, branded channels, they do require uh a bit more investment and a bit more commitment. And obviously, as you said, you need a team, which is uh on some like on on some side, it's a it's a benefit because like you said, you you might take a few days off and the channel is not going to stop. But at the same time for uh people who are new to this world, it might seem like you know you're investing something in the channel and you don't uh don't really know if it's going to pay off or not. So were any of your any of those thoughts kind of crossing your mind? Were you like worrying about something? >> No, not in my case. Not really, I would say. But that was mainly because yeah, I I really had the feeling that this niche was really good. I remember when I um also sent you the text about um yeah what niche I was trying to go for immediately. You're like, "Oh yeah, I hope they likes this because I feel like it's going to be really good." Um and I also had like some decent amount saved up so I could afford it. And yeah, I feel like if anyone um you know, if you're completely broke, I wouldn't recommend you to go into uh credit channels. But if you just even if it's a little bit of money you've got laying around, you know, um that like who knows how how much you want to invest, but let's say you want to do 10 videos, which might be like $1,000. um instead of spending it on a trip or instead of spending it on dinners or whatever, I would definitely recommend everyone to give this a try because, you know, you never know what could happen, right? And I feel like a lot of people, even though some people might feel like they don't have a spare $1,000, um they could get at any time, you know? So, I actually also think it's uh more affordable than than a lot of people think. >> Yeah, I I I agree with that. And also what was good in your case and why I also had a feeling that it's all going to work out well is because commentary actually gives you uh such a it's such a red ocean that if you could survive and if you could make even if like three five like $8,000 like you did it's actually like a tremendous amount of work and uh a very good understanding of the algorithm and how you know human psychology works and how the hooks works work and etc. So with that experience, studying a branded channel is way more safe than most people think because uh would you say that branded has less competition and basically less uh like the bar is lower from the skill perspective? >> Um yeah. Yeah, I would say so. Um there's definitely less competition. Um, at the same time though, it's like it's also kind of the different different league you're playing in where you need different skills. Um, >> for example, um, yeah, I even though I might be a better script writer than a lot of the guys in in uh, 3D animations, if there's someone who can post um, twice or three times a day and I can't even handle posting once every three days, then you'll still get filtered out. So, um, in terms of skills, when it comes to, um, making actual viral videos, so visual script writing, everything like that, there's definitely, uh, really big gap still in the in the animation industry. Um, but yet these guys um, like you, but still, I wouldn't say there's a lot of them, but um, in general, they have maybe a little bit more experience when it comes to running teams than than the average commentary creator does. >> Yeah, that makes sense. I I agree with that. Uh and then if we go into details uh just so we we can also make it uh more like uh beneficial for for people who are watching. Uh so you joined the program, you wanted to start a branded channel. Uh what were your first and key uh three five actions and the the action steps that you took throughout the program that basically led to you getting uh to like four figure days within a week after the channel got monetized? like what were the key steps? >> Um yeah, I I think back then I was also kind of lucky that I got my first animator from you. So I I could start right away. Um yeah, you just start with kind of getting to know the in my case animator because you know you can have 2D animators, three animators, whatever. Um and yeah, you just start with the first video and in my case I also had to combine a lot of elements. It was editing, it was animation. Um, >> yeah. >> And yeah, kind of a unique spin on the editing, which I also had to figure out how it looked. Um, so I think the most important thing for me and for anyone is to make sure you get that first video out as soon as possible because that's what I did. Um, figure out I started figuring out, okay, what elements do I need to create the video I want? um started researching like okay how do I actually do the editing because I was not sure about that um yeah and then just combined everything and posted the video I guess it's just figuring out um starting with a small team figuring out how you can execute what um you want to do and then just yeah try to get out the first video as soon as possible because then um yeah you'll have feedback from the algorithm and know if the video was good or not. Yeah. >> Yeah. For sure. For sure. And then uh throughout the program there are many things that uh that I give that probably you were you were doing for the first time like let's say our hiring systems are definitely not what people uh are used to and uh not what others are are using. Uh and uh for some they might see like you know a bit more complicated and obviously that's the the barrier of entry required like that's why they are so like untapped. So how was that experience? I know that you you did a lot of hiring yourself after that. So like we we helped you with initial uh the first hire uh that was the part of the offer as well but then uh you know after that you you did a good job hiring uh by yourself. So was it a bit weird at the beginning? Was it hard? Was it was it complicated or like did you just like figure it out like yourself like pretty quickly? >> Yeah, it definitely took some time to get used to. I feel like some of the um basic principles even though I I think you explained them they didn't really get um true to me um stuff like you know really having boundaries and telling your animators okay this is what's going to be done or um you really need to uh be able to tell your animators or whoever works for you know and let them know that sounds harsh that they are replaceable and that they can't just make every single mistake they want and be lazy and just collect the paycheck. That's something with kind of the leadership quality I felt like I struggled with. >> Um, >> and yeah, I mean the the systems and the SOPs, they're they're all there. You know, you you really couldn't have it easier when it comes to hiring a team. Um, and also something I can recommend which also I kind of the hiring process is really easy. you you literally give all of the you tell us where to hire talent is out there. Um just kind of the big realization for me was also that it was too focused on um finding the perfect candidate. Um whereas um yeah, what I've really learned from you over these last few weeks is that um in a lot of cases, it's better to just take someone who's driven and who's decent and to just train them up to the level you want them to be because um sometimes you get lucky and you'll find someone who's perfect what it is. That's something which is pretty hard to really find animated more at the level of let's say an art for your channel films or that's just another which is yeah pretty hard to find. >> Yeah, understand. Okay, awesome. Uh and uh let's uh talk real quick uh because I also don't want to like spread it out too much but uh let's talk real quick about your uh the current state of the channel. Uh so uh how much are you making uh right now per month approximately and how much of that is profit because I also want to address the the common misconception that the branded channels are so expensive that they're not profitable. So can you walk me through like your let's say revenue versus profit right now? >> Sure. I'm not sure if I 100% remember correctly. >> You can just give me like a approximate number of course. >> Yeah sure. So, um, December, let me check. I'll just also remove these days because yeah, it's it was it's kind of out of control and this doesn't really represent the state of channel right now. Um, yeah, it still has to load fully, but December was uh 23K and I'm pretty sure almost 17K of this was uh profit. I think it was 16.8 or something like that. Um, so yeah, that's actually really really healthy margin and you have definitely definitely nice nice income. >> Nice. And uh how old are you? >> I'm 20. >> 20. Okay. Uh so how's it to take home 17k a month from from YouTube? Like how how do you feel? >> Yeah, it feels feels really good. Um I think it's helping me to continue to do this every single month. But um yeah, especially December was just just crazy. I I didn't even um you know, since you're also having more cost than with the commentary channel, I uh got less a bit less happy seeing these numbers because I knew like okay there's going to be cost involved. But when you actually send me like a message with uh yeah, this is how much profit we did. I was like, "Oh, damn. I actually didn't expect it to be so high." So, uh, yeah, definitely feels amazing. >> Nice. Nice. And, uh, out of all of the things that we've talked about, what would you say is, uh, like the most important win for you? What's the one uh, concrete win that uh, you can point to? >> Um, yeah, definitely I would say this December month. Um, >> you know, I the the viewers and the subscribers actually don't really know that much to me. I just wanted a channel which really was a a money printer and could make me I think as a go we set um 50k or 20k a month in profit. Um and I mean yeah we've basically already reached it in December after like I think two months. Um >> yeah. >> Yeah. This was the first time I uh or yeah I mean we can go back to a lot of years before but it wasn't with YouTube. This the first time um I've made more than 10k a month with YouTube. So um crossing the record with like 7 I would say that was the the biggest. >> Okay. Makes sense. Yeah. That's amazing. And obviously like uh people choose this business model because it's so cash flowing that uh that uh we kind of like we have to enjoy this uh this profits and especially making that within 90 days with shorts only. Uh there are not not many channels like that who can uh who can do it. So uh congrats to you like you know uh you you you proved with with the hard work that uh uh everything is possible especially uh when you have this skills in a very bloody uh red ocean. So you know this is what happens when you uh when you open new opportunities for yourself. Uh and then uh because you went through the uh the whole program you know it inside out. Uh who would you say this program is for? like who is the uh the best person to to go through the program? Uh is it someone like yourself? Is it someone different? Like uh who do you think will benefit the most from it? >> Yeah. Yeah. I think it's uh different [clears throat] uh of people. First off, I would definitely say people like me, people who already have a lot of sort of experience or or a lot of who have just, [clears throat] you know, proven that they can go viral in in commentary. Um especially I think this is good for you if you already have some experience script writing. Um if you know for example let's say you're experienced in a commentary niche which just involves writing could still be good by the way if you find um but yeah just anyone who already has some previous experience with shorts. I think this program is just really are for taking you to the next level uh when you feel like you're kind of being stationary. But also um yeah I I would say just people who um are kind of more the the people who like you know long form YouTube automation in a sense don't want to be sitting behind a computer editing every single day maybe even have a high paying job and they want to start something on the side but something on the side which is actually serious and um where they can manage the team and they're maybe not as um tied to the general as that they would be with commentary even though I think people like me probably see most success or the fastest success. Um I think it could also be good for yeah people. >> Okay, got it. Um cool. So I think uh it was uh it was a very nice interview. I'm uh again super stoked to have people like yourself as as clients because it's always uh it's always amazing to work with the winners who who actually do things and uh prove with their like work ethic that they deserve the numbers that they're then uh getting. So thanks for coming to the to the pot and uh it was amazing having you here and I can't wait to to host another one once you hit 50k a month. >> Yeah. Yeah. Just some good words for me. Um yeah, really couldn't have done this without you. You are responding really fast and um yeah, the the structure of the program is just really insane. I can definitely recommend it um to everyone. So yeah, I couldn't couldn't have done it without you. >> Awesome. Thank you, man. Uh so pleasure to have you on a pot. Uh I think we'll uh we'll meet for sure shortly on on another one because again uh 23K for a channel like uh like the one that you've built it's uh uh it's amazing result but it's still nothing compared to what's coming. So uh excited to to see the progress uh and six figure months as well. And uh yeah man let's uh let's just keep working, keep grinding. Same. >> Let's get it. Right. Cheers.

VIDEO 15
In the next 15 minutes, I'm going to show you over a 100 days of work and the story of how we went from zero to over $1.7,000 a day with one of our portfolio channels, making over 56K in a process. So, let's start from day one. You see, back then in October, I already had a channel of mine, Art of War, doing at its peak $4,000 days with YouTube shorts. But I was super curious, did I just get lucky or would the strategy I use work again? So, with this channel, I double tested every single step, making sure I remove all of the fluff and I give you only the sauce, starting with the niche. And here's a simple truth about making money on YouTube. Every new player at the table means a smaller slice for everyone already sitting there. uh meaning if I go into niches, I make sure that I am the first and only to do it while others are uh stuck uh trying to scale commentary and uh ranking videos. And this is the main thing that defines whether your YouTube channel is going to be successful or not. How many people are already doing the exact same stuff and style that you're trying to do? That's what differentiates my channels from everyone else that you see on the market because we're actually running unique and branded niches that almost impossible to steal. But how do we do it? You see, we create unique niches using the uh niche bending method because a niche is simply a combination of content category or so-called market and a format. And well markets are very well known and there's a few uh gigantic markets like gaming, finance, real estate, history, science and they rarely change. They're rarely uh there are rarely new markets uh that emerge out of um I don't know just technological progress or whatever. Uh but then there's formats like for example explained with bananas or everything some every something explained uh 3D zag film style animation or uh let's say English universal lab uh 2D animation those are formats the new formats come up on YouTube every single day there are thousands of formats and you can literally find untapped format almost at every single moment in time uh if you know where to find. So in our case, what we did is we found an animated format that was never used in this particular content category before and our first ever video on a monetized channel blew up to 12.3 million views. I'm going to show it to you. So if we go to our shorts and uh if we scroll down, I think we need to go down just uh quite a little bit. So here we were posting like this. This channel was pre-monetized. So here we were um it was different kind of content here. You see this is the first ever video we posted after applying the niche bending method. This one got 12.3 million views. The second video we posted 14.6 million views. I think uh by by this time we were already very well monetized. This one generated $1,000 and uh uh the first ever video $1.2,000. But then the real thing happened after the third video because the third video is actually I think it's our best video on the channel yet. 79.7 million views and $7.6,000 made. Again, this is the third ever video we posted on a pre-monetized channel uh following the niche bending method. This is what happens when you apply uh an already viral format to a niche where it was never done before. you become the first ever to do it and you also become a very much a creator in demand. So, uh this this is how we made almost $10,000 from the first three videos and uh you know with the cost of videos being about 150 bucks. That's crazy. And to give you an idea how this niche bending method works, here's a few examples from the real world. So, uh the left colum is a format. For example, in this case, it was uh Nick Invests uh an animated AI channel that we discussed a few niche digests ago. And then the market was the u like investing and the overall like finances for African-Americans for uh black people in the US. And as the result of it uh what they got is Bob Invests. So Bob Invests is basically the same channel as Nick Invests, but he optimized all of his videos for the struggles that only African-Americans face in their uh investing journey. And this is how he banned the format towards the specific market and category that he understood instead of blindly copying it because at the same time there are people uh who found Nick Invest who thought that the smartest thing they can do is to simply copy it. So, as you can see, Bobin Invests, he's the only one doing okay. He's actually doing pretty similar numbers to Nick Invest now. But then there are channels that just completely rip offs of Nick Invest and these people still somehow think that this strategy is going to work. Mia Invests, like James Invests, the Sam uh Ledger, Junk Invests, Michael invests, like all of this is complete none of them are getting views because all they did was like simply blindly copying what worked for another creator. You should absolutely never do that because uh it like makes you the second, the third, the fifth in the niche. But like if you actually adapt it for a new target audience or a new uh content category or if you bring something new to the market or obviously like that's going to work same way it worked for uh Bob Invests. Now uh another format that I wanted to show is uh there was this channel explained with Kis uh actually very uh very good channel explained with Kitten. Um so very nice channel uh great uh great views great results uh and uh again their content format is explaining complicated stuff uh with those uh like whiteboard kit and animations. And then uh there was a video that blew up about our ancestors basically showing how they uh how they lived, how they you know um created fire, how they like etc. how they survived. Uh and then there's uh a channel like right after uh this one uh basically just talking in a very simple format like it reminds me of another category like explain is bananas because this guy basically explains how our ancestors lived in a 2D animated format similar to what explained with kitten uh did but he talks about our ancestors again he took the format he applied it to the market where the format was never used before he changed it a little bit so instead of using the exact named Kitten. Uh he decided to create some kind of a you know hero and AI uh character for uh for his channel a 2D character for his channel and uh it worked. So we can see the second ever video 1.5 million views because the audience already resonates with the format and with the content category where you're adopting this format. Uh then another example how you can basically niche bend the talking hat creator. Like this was a format that's been popular for the last like I don't know 3 years two years in 2D whiteboard animations every something explained. And then this guy did a video, a YouTube short uh for 3.5 million views about every band book. So this channel without any hesitation, they took the format from whiteboard 2D. They took the idea from a short that went viral and they created a long form video about it. Every band book explained 3.4 million views. he uh like even managed to get the similar views on long form as this guy did in short form because again he took the format from something that was already viral transferred it to a new category um and that's what I do and as a result none of the channels that we currently run in our portfolio are copying something uh from other people actually all of them are original but at the same time they have the foundation of the format that we know for sure has never been used before in this exact content categories like that's fundamentals of Faceless YouTube and um and because inventing niches is basically the only way to create something stable and long-term, we actually developed a ranking tool for our clients to validate whether they found a good niche band or a bad niche band. So, I'm going to show you. It looks like this. Uh if we go to the niche validation tab, uh basically you fill in a bunch of different formats that you found for um specific content category where um you want to be let's say like you want to be in fitness or finance or real estate or gaming, whatever your passion is, right? You first need to find the formats that you can bend towards this category. So you fill them there. Uh and at the same time you paste a bunch of links to your competitors to people in this exact content category doing amazing numbers. So if it's fitness, it can be Jeff Nippert or it can be Brian Johnson or can be I don't know the rock Greg Plit, whoever it is, right? uh you need to post their ideas there because then we will use it as um the as a database of uh potential ideas but then we will bend them towards the formats that you have on the left of the spreadsheet and then based on this six criteria we basically rank every niche and uh we uh give every niche a score uh that basically tells us whether the niche is uh is good or not. So this spreadsheet is completely automated. If the ranking is bad, then it will basically tell you that the niche is not worth it. And this way, it's very easy for uh for me and for my clients to validate whether the niche actually makes sense or not. Um but a niche is not enough because uh to scale the channel to 1.7K a day, you also need uh something that I call an unfair advantage. Because you see the second problem of YouTube that anyone with any kind of stable success on YouTube already encountered is the moment your channel blows up someone comes and tries to to steal it. I have probably the best example for it. Uh if we go to World War II Tales um this is like one of the uh one of the biggest channels at the time and my f friend Andrew actually leaked this uh channel on his uh on his Twitter. Uh but uh honestly like when he did it what happened is a bunch of people because it's a very simple AI niche right so they started simply copy pasting the exact same videos which absolutely doesn't make sense but that's what happens on YouTube when you have any kind of you know success. So like if you Google their most popular video yes you'll find them at the top but then look at how many direct like copycats you have right away. Some of these people thought that, okay, cool. I'll maybe do like I'll do like a little bit better thumbnail, but I'll steal the idea. I'll do like an animated thumbnail. I I I'll do more like food, etc. So, they like look at how many of those there are. So, the moment Andrew like basically posted it on Twitter, there were like hundreds of channels next week trying to replicate the success. And this happens on YouTube all of the time. No matter how big or small your channel is, the moment you explode, there will be hundreds of people who will come and try to replicate whatever it is that you do. And the only way you protect yourself from all of those copycats is by actually building in a niche with a high barrier to entry. Because the higher your barrier to entry, the the more complex your niche actually is, the less people can try and replicate it. Because think about it, there is a kid somewhere in Pakistan who wants to make $1,000. He sees that you blew up with AI videos that costs $0 to make. What is he going to do? He's going to copy your exact videos for no specific reason. He's going to do the exact same thing at volume at scale thinking that like this will make him a couple hundred bucks. And yeah, for him a couple hundred bucks might be a good u good number to make. But then it will saturate your niche. And then if we have like a 100 kids like that, that will completely wipe out your entire niche. But then if you have a 3D animated channel, 2D animated channel, like any kind of complicated niche, then all of those kids, they simply cannot compete. They don't have the knowledge required to run those niches. So this barrier to entry basically protects you from a bunch of competition. And uh u I with my team we created this visual uh that basically represents like most of the niches on YouTube right now. And there are those like simple niches police body cam, US court. Yes, there are some barrier to entry in police body cam. You need to uh find unique footage and sometimes you need to sign some papers to to get the unique footage from US government like etc. But it's still not enough like many people can do it. Uh there's commentary, AI slop, trending niches, fall asleep niches, all of them fall into this simple category where whenever you explode, you get hundreds of competitors that you have absolutely no competitive advantage over and you basically in two months, yes, you kind of made some money with the niche, but your channel is gone. Like your niche is gone uh because it's overcrowded and oversaturated. At the top there is uh branded AI. So branded AI is a bit better. uh channels like Fast and Fred, Nick Invest. Um there was another guy with uh with prompts. I forgot his name. I think I have him uh down the line in the niche reveal. But uh there is 2D long form and short form. That's even better because like the barrier to entry is higher. And as you can see, there's way less people in those niches compared to let's say um fall asleep niches or police body cam niches. And then at the very top you have, you know, very complicated, very branded channels. Fern, Yarnhub, all of those are basically so unique that it's impossible to steal what they do. It's impossible to copy them and like they will be u making money on YouTube forever. This is the Mr. Beast approach. I'm not saying you need to be there because it's definitely more complicated than uh running something like this. So that's why I say that 2D is probably the best choice. It still has the barrier to entry to avoid competition, but it's not as complicated as let's say fern operations or your hop operations that run with like 70 employees or something like this. So this means more competition and shorter channels lifespan for the channels in lower categories. And yeah, you can uh compare those directly. The spam niches, they're very easy to start. They have no capital uh no capital is required to start them. uh but they die out very quickly because of the niche saturation. Uh they have huge competition and you don't really know uh if the niche is going to pop off because uh there's hundreds of people at the same exact time trying to run this niche. Uh they have no longevity and right now with inauthentic content, many of them got hit. Um niches like that we've already discussed. And basically the strategy that you need there is to run 15 channels making you $1,000 a month uh to to have some sustainable income. Uh and then you constantly launch new ones. Some of them die out and that's the only way you um you actually make it long-term in this niche. You have to jump from one niche to another. Uh the second option, the branded niches and branded channels has no competition. Nobody is looking towards this direction. Nobody is actually doing it right now. uh they have huge markets but only few players. Uh they are always branded long-term uh bigger exiting acts if you want to sell the channel. Uh and uh the only cons are they're harder to start at the beginning and they require some capital but in the end of this video I'm going to show you actually a few niches that do not requires that much capital thanks to AI. So these are branded AI 2D long form and etc. Uh and the strategy that uh you use to make it in branded categories is you run one or two channels, maybe like three if you really want to. Uh posting three to seven times per week. So not a crazy posting schedule, not a crazy amount of content. And each channel makes you 7 to $15,000 with a barrier to entry. So it's protected income, guaranteed long-term income. And uh um this is exactly how we build channels from u my portfolio. Um, and my best channel with in my best channels, they they all have a solid barrier to entry that prevents them from basically getting saturated. Uh, because as an example, at its peak, Art of War generated 720 million views. It was, uh, June 2025. So, it was 9 months ago. And since then, like we generated like $46,000 pro like revenue from from YouTube, another like 56K from uh, from Tik Tok. But since then I got five new competitors like total compared to like World War II Tales that got 100 competitors uh in a week, five competitors in 9 months. It's basically nothing. And half of them already gave up because don't have the uh hiring systems that I do. So they're they're not able to sustain the channel quality at my current level. So this is what happens when you have the barrier to entry. And this is why I call those niches the most protected protected niches from uh saturation on YouTube. [snorts] Um but you're probably asking yourself, how do I start now? And as I promised, I'm going to give you three niches today. Uh and for every level of capital that you have, I'm going to give you a complicated AI niche that requires a little bit less than a,000 bucks a month to run, but still has very much, you know, potential. And uh I'm going to give you the 2D animated niche that requires uh a little bit more but still less than 2K a month to run uh but have the least competition. So let's get into the three top niches to get into right now. Um those niches will most likely deliver you the same results that my portfolio channels are getting or my clients are getting. Uh, for example, just recently I recorded those uh um interviews with clients who finished the first ever group uh the art of YouTube group that we run. Uh, for example, Zap made $50,000 in the first 90 days of uh running a branded channel. An interview with him is going live on my uh on my YouTube very soon. Uh, or for example, Rome, who we got to 1 million followers and uh about $50,000 a month. also a very uh nice achievement for a branded uh branded channel and their formula of success is actually very very much simple and I simplified it in this in this graph. So all they do is uh they have a unique niche with a high barrier to entry. They run it with a team that allows them to delegate most of the work. So they are uh operating not so so they're more like managing the channel instead of actually working on creating videos and they have SOPs that basically simplify the workflow the content CMS the checklists the quality controls and etc. And uh to give you all of those first I need to give you the niche. So here are three niches three unique niches that I'll get into if I were you. So the branded AI niche that requires less than 500 bucks a month to run is the one that we already discussed, Bob Invests. But instead of going into the same niche, what you should do is actually use a niche band to adapt the same wide word format, the same 2D AI animations is to adapt it to unique markets where it was never used before. So first you can go into health and fitness. This is uh probably the like one of the biggest categories, top three categories on YouTube. So, uh, this one could be like Brian Johnson in AI 2D format explaining longevity. Uh, it could be Luke Maxin, something that, uh, that's blew up recently and everyone wants to know how it works. So, looks Maxin for uh, for men also for women. Two different completely different niches that you can run completely within or for example, true crime. I actually had another one here, but I spoke with a client yesterday and uh, he he wanted to do that. So, I'm not going to reveal the fourth one uh just to not oversaturate it. Uh but uh these three niche bands are already, you know, very very good ones. And all you need to run it is one VA and then at some point you might need a channel manager, but 500 bucks is an average salary of a VA. Uh or you can even do those videos yourself if you're a complete beginner. Uh number two is complicated AI. So this one requires not only AI skills but also at the same time a motion designer who will edit your videos and make them uh very much appealing for the target audience. Um so we take Parker prompts as a format example and then we apply the niche bending metrics uh again and uh we can bend this format to the finances. So like Parker is basically like an AI influencer. So he talks about the prompts and all of it. But then we can create like an old guy who will talk about finance like very realistic um you know sitting in the couch with a cigar like talking about finances stuff like this. Uh or for example we can talk about women health. There's not many channels for uh for women nowadays. So we can talk about this and we can generate an AI uh women influencer again uh talking about their problems and struggles. Uh and we can have another one uh with a kid for example talking about parenting. So uh these are the niche bands that I would do to the parker prompts. For this channel you need uh one VA and motion designer. So the VA will be in charge of creating uh the AI videos and then uh motion designer will put them together with beautiful editing style. Um the the cost of the channel is going to be about 1 1.5k a month. So nothing too crazy. Uh and the third niche that I wanted to give you is the 2D animated niche that requires about 2K months to run. So this channel Renrod uh exploded just recently and the channel itself is basically 2D anim uh animations of some traumas and uh situations about the like you know boys in a in an early early age. So basically the way we can bend this is we can create rescue stories, animal stories, moral principles, we can talk about that and also true crime. So in the same exact 2D animated style uh let me show you uh actually very good style uh channel exploded just recently. So uh it's doing videos like this and uh again it's the only channel right now doing this style of animation. So like if you do it and you adopt it for new content category or a market again you'll be the first one to do it. Of course there is people who's going to watch it. So uh a very amazing niche band and for an MVP you need one 2D animator and uh if you're planning to scale the channel about three animators plus uh channel manager an average salary of an animator is 1 1.2k a month. So again um not some crazy uh crazy numbers there. Um, and if you want to learn how to get the rest of the puzzle because now you do have the niche, you need the team and and uh if you want to get that and learn that right now, I'm looking for five more people uh this month to join the art of YouTube program. This is where I'll personally find and verify your niche on a one-on-one call. So, we'll literally go through the same niche bending process one-on-one on a call. uh analyze a bunch of data and then rank all of those niches using our uh tools and then we'll come to conclusion that one niche is better than the other uh and we'll build your team uh together with my HR who's built a team of uh 32 people by now uh for me. So um my HR will be accessible to you. We will actually hire your first ever employee together so that you know you understand the whole process. Then we'll implement the same SOPs I'm using to run uh my channels uh in less than seven seven hours a week each. And uh you kind of resonated with uh the rest of this video and with with everything we discussed so far. Uh I also want to give you the free strategy session with the head of client strategy at uh the art of YouTube. So apply below. you will get uh a free bonus uh uh YouTube profit calculator that uh will allow you to predict your numbers and kind of calculate the P&L of your future branded channel. But at the same time, you'll get a free strategy session with uh the head of client strategy at Art of YouTube, which is also super super valuable. So, you'll find a link uh in a pin comment and uh the first link in the description. Go check it out. I'll see you there.

This week, my team and I found nine nonsaturated money printing faceless YouTube niches. From a slop making thousands of dollars to copying entire YouTube channels just by making their characters black to boobs that could quite literally blow up any YouTube channel. This is our weekly niche digest. Let's dive right in. Our first YouTube channel stole a format from one of my tweets. Got 1.7 million views and made $7,000 in just 8 days. So, it all started when I found an interesting channel that took a format from POV Tik Toks and used it for a thumbnail. His video blew up to 700K views and I posted it on Axe saying it's a killer format for any 2D channel. And in the next 8 days, this very smart guys took my advice, posted seven videos, all following the same exact format. And every single one of them went viral, making over $1,000 each. This case is the exact reason why I'm doing this niche breakdown. Uh, this is a free way for you to plug into the most viral niches and formats of the week because sometimes all you need is to take inspiration from some other industry niche or format, apply it to your specific channel, and uh, at the end you end up making $7,000 a week. Our next faceless YouTube channel makes $46,000 posting simple AI compilations of scary stories from Reddit. His most popular video got 2.6 6 million views and with 11 bucks RPM, he's made roughly $30,000 from this video alone. And if you break down his content strategy, it's actually very simple. He first finds those scary stories on Reddit, then uploads them to 11 laps to generate the voice over and then simply puts a series of screenshots with periodic AI footage breaks to avoid an authentic content. People typically listen to this videos to fall asleep. So, they don't care about the video itself, which drives the average view duration crazy, especially when using playlists. Now, to adapt this niche, you shouldn't just copy the scary stories. Instead, using niche band, look at the most popular Reddit threads and create channels specifically for them. For example, I found this thread with uh social dilemas. uh this one with funny mistakes and regrets and another one with relationships and uh romance stories. Each one of those uh is a fresh untapped niche that I found using my niche bending method, a unique matrix that allows you to create new niches instead of blindly copying what others do. And by the way, I just recorded a step-by-step guide on how to use the niche bending mechanism. And if you have some kind of a faceless YouTube niche idea in mind, then just watch this video on YouTube because I promise you, you'll come up with a fresh angle that will make your channel stand out in less than 10 minutes of watching it. This faceless YouTube channel got almost a billion views posting 2D cartoons about moral lessons. Each of their stories covers a tragic moment, but each one of them makes hundreds of dollars. Only in the last 30 days, they gained $417 million views and made close to $36,000 because of a simple trick nobody seems to notice. Instead of talking about actual tragic events, their most popular videos are about a dad deleting his son's Minecraft world or a son who's forced to destroy his Xbox. And what it does is it splits the audience into supporters who understand and likely went through the same trauma and haters who don't and they publicly disagree with the author in the comments. In content creation, it's called creating an enemy. Because of it, videos are almost impossible to scroll past because they make you emotionally invested in the story, whether you're a hater or a supporter. And overall, I think 2026 is going to be a year of 2D animated channels. And the same boom we saw in the 3D world with channels like mine is going to happen in 2D. And if you want to be a winner in this race, take Renrat as your starting point and then create your unique niche band for yourself. This freaking AI slop video of a monkey got 30 million views and made about $1.2,000. So, a couple months ago, there was a study that showed that over 30% of the YouTube shorts feed is now filled with AI slop like that. Since then, I think it only got worse. And as a creator with multiple branded highquality channels that are struggling because of this freaking AI, I'm a bit worried for the future of YouTube. But sometimes progress is not something you control. So, if YouTube keeps pushing this AI garbage agenda, there will be more and more channels like this one getting hundreds of millions of views for absolutely free. Our next YouTube channel invented a thumbnail format that blew up their video to 300,000 views. They used to post about F1 without any crazy success, but for this video about Max Versafin, they scratched his giant funny hat, making him look pretty stupid and triggering his fans this way. No one has tried stealing this format just yet. But think about it. You can run a dedicated sketch channel creating funny 2D animation videos about celebs. For example, how rich is Elon Musk, why Jordan became an icon, and how Trump makes his deals. All of those could be your first video ideas that you execute in the same exact sketchy thumbnail style. And if you have a nice sense of humor, this niche is definitely something you should start in 2026. Hey, real quick before we continue and I show you the next faceless YouTube niches, I have a simple ask. While you're watching this video, pay close attention to your own ideas and thoughts. If I'm talking about niche and you randomly come up with a variation of it or you just feel an aphoria moment because you've come up with a video idea, niche, format, thumbnail. That's exactly the feeling I want you to feel. So, let me know in the comments that it happened and also find the art of YouTube linked in the description because this is where I'll help you make your first steps towards launching a branded faceless channel that you just came up with. That's where we will scale it past 15K a month using our systems. But now, let's get back to the digest. Our next YouTube channel generated $60,000 from just six videos. And every single one they post recently gets more than a million views because of a unique brand combination that many faceless YouTubers ignore. You see, because over 30% of YouTube's feed is now filled with AI slop. This makes people want something more personal, something real. And this YouTube channel is simply an Asian guy who lives in the US and shares stuff about his personal journey in a faceless animated style. This is probably the best solution for everyone who doesn't want to be on camera yet wants to build a YouTube brand that will pay the bills and act as an asset that you can eventually sell. The niche itself, however, is almost impossible to steal because it's about a person's journey, but you can adapt the same formats and styles for your own or your friend's story with ease. A video about boops blew up to 1.4 million views and made $3,000. Honestly, not a surprise. A few niche digests ago, we broke down the success of this thumbnail format, so we know what works. But in general, this channel is an example of how pure creativity and humor can blow up a faceless channel. And honestly, I'm lucky to have a pretty similar channel in my portfolio. You see, a few months ago, I partnered with Mario, who's the founder of Zack Films, and a very creative mind. Some of our most popular and funny videos since then got hundreds of millions of views. And the only reason for it is unlimited humor and creativity that comes from the founder. So if you like jokes, no matter how stupid they are, try YouTube. You might just find the best career path for you. Bob Invests stole his ideas, thumbnails, and scripts from another faceless creator, but he still made $33,000 because of a simple YouTube feature people always ignore. So in my previous videos, I showed you Nick Invests, who absolutely blew up with his AI videos. And while everyone tried to copy him, stealing everything but his name, Bob decided to add a little twist. He changed the white AI influencer to a black one and started targeting African-Americans, completely changing the target audience without changing the formats. This is called a target audience bands. And it works like this. You find a prune format or channel and you change its target audience to something for which this format was never used before. and you instantly start to appear more for your target audience. Like Bob, who instantly won the hearts of African-Americans because he spoke about their specific problems and that's how he made 30 grand in the first ever months of posting content. All right, hopefully by watching this video, you managed to come up with some ideas of how you can adapt it for your YouTube channel or your future channels. If so, let me know that it was valuable in the comments. And if you want to get a full PDF with those niches, just DM me niches on Instagram and I'll send it to

In October 2025, my Faceless YouTube Shorts channel made me $56,000. Around the same time, another channel of mine went from zero to $150 million views a month consistently over the last 4 months. And then I repeated this process again with another channel of mine that went from 0 to $23,000 in less than 90 days. But the truth is, it's impossible to find this faceless niches because the niches with the most explosive growth are always created, not found. So, well, other videos similar to this one are going to give you the incognita method that takes hours and only gives you the surface level niches or next level extension method that is good but everyone else is using it so it's a bit oversaturated or just in general basic surface level information uh without any real examples. In this video, you're going to find the niche bending method, the one that we created just recently. Uh the eight content categories to adopt any format for to invent the niche and create a new one and nine unique bands and examples for you to take inspiration from right away. So, while everyone is giving you the fish and the often very root one, I'm going to give you the fishing rod so you can get the fish whenever you want. And I want to get started with what I call a niche bend because niche bending is simply a mechanism that I use to create unique niches for my portfolio and out of YouTube clients. Uh and when I posted this method on Twitter, it went absolutely crazy. 140,000 views, 1.3,000 likes, meaning people in a faceless YouTube space, they have never seen this before. uh no one could articulate the overall process of creating niches from scratch better than I did in this twid. So today I'm going to give you the extensive version of it and uh show you step by step how to create niches for yourself. And this is also what I did with for him someone whose story I'll share uh later. And after he posted his first ever video in niche that we created together, he got 500,000 views on the first ever short, which is absolutely amazing. And to give you an idea how it works, I prepared a couple examples. U so this channel, many of you have seen it, primate economics. Uh this was monkeys explaining economy. So uh the niche was 2D simple animations. Uh and uh the scripts were obviously made with the eye uh explaining complicated stuff with monkeys. And then a bend that uh this second channel came up with was the fitness industry. So they decided to adapt the same format and the same uh monkey trigger to the fitness niche. And instead of explaining how taxes work in with bananas, they started explaining how to get more uh bigger biceps uh with bananas and apes and how to basically get apps and get fit and stuff like this. So they kept the format, they kept the viral triggers but they changed the market from finance to fitness and that's how they created a niche for themselves. Uh and this way basically they could ideulate their videos in seconds creating original pieces of content every single time with just a few prompts. So for example the the format as I said was monkeys explaining with bananas but then they took information from other creators uh who are shooting videos with their face. for example, uh Jeff who who did this video about how to get apps in 60 days. So they took the information from one video and a format from another video and they combined the two getting an unique new piece of content that has a proof of format and proof of concept meaning a proof of idea and uh uh that there is a market for this kind of content and I prepared a chipd or cloudi prompt that you can use to adapt any video for any format you want. Basically, you just need to create scripts. Um, you just need to extract those scripts from each video you use uh through node GPT and then uh add those uh scripts here and there. And this prompt will give you the exact script of your future video. This way you can create not only ideas but al also scripts for your videos in seconds. This is something that we've been using for a long time. And if you want to get this prompt then uh the document will be linked uh in the description or in a pin comment. So uh check this out. Now how do you actually create niche band and unique niches for yourself? A niche is basically a combination of the content category or so-called market and a format. So basically every niche has a content category and a market. And there's a very limited amount of content categories on YouTube. For example, uh these are the most popular content categories uh that now exist on YouTube. The most popular one is obviously gaming. Then there's lifestyle and vlogs, education, DIY, health, beauty, true crime, finance, uh B2B, tech, uh and real estate. So these are the the gigantic ones with billions and billions of views. So this is the macro level. Most of these content categories are wellnown and each one of them has billions of views across different formats. But formats are micro level and the new ones emerge every single day. So there's unlimited amount of formats and the every single day on YouTube there are new ones but then the content categories almost never change. Sometimes there is a a new emerging content category but it takes them a very long time to uh to get known to to become like you know this gi gigantic piece of YouTube. Uh this is an example of formats explained with bananas the one that we used in uh in the past why it sucks to be born as someone. This is uh another 2D format that was uh going crazy last couple of months. For example, AI influencers. This is something that we've seen with Nick Invests and Fasted Fred. Again, channels like this are blowing up right now. And every something explained in X amount of minutes. Uh this format was out there for a long time and it seems to deliver again and again. So the niche bending is basically taking a format so mikra and applying it to a different market macro and that's simply what it is. To give you more examples and to give you context on how it works and how you can use it for your niche for example going to start with history uh to fitness something that happened to my channel in the past. So, I know that Art of War went crazy viral uh during the summer and everyone started trying to replicate its success and uh some of my most stupid competitors just came in and uh try to uh copy and paste my videos in the same exact niche. But this approach is uh useless because you will always be the second and not the first one in the in the niche to do so. But this account actually did something smart. So they took a niche which was war history explained with 3D animation and they banned it to fitness and human body explained with 3D animation. So they kept the viral format the 3D animation and those breakdowns of the body. But while I was showing how the body reacts to a bullet or a knife or whatever, uh they decided to show how it reacts to [snorts] you lifting weights or to you using different uh like morning routines and stuff like this. So again, proven format, new market with crazy amounts of views and this way they invented the niche for themselves and I think their most popular video by now has close to like 40 million views and on average they got like 5 million views on each video they did. U again this is a perfect example of a niche band. Then another one presidents to kings. Uh this one is more recent one. Uh I actually liked u the original channel but uh Agent Floppy went viral from his first ever video. He got like 5 million views on his first long form and he did it talking about US presidents you know favorite foods of US presidents how every US president died or what are the you know banned items from the white house and etc. So basically discussing the overall day-to-day life of uh US presidents and this guy decided to change US presidents to kings and monarchs. Basically using the same exact formats, the same exact titles and thumbnails, but changing one little details and coming up with a niche for himself. Uh his channel from the second video he posted went viral. I think it was like 250,000 views or so. Um and again a very simple band to execute on but uh a very um you know very proven and working one. And then the last one I'm going to give you in this section is finance to fitness. Uh another case where you take two very big content categories and markets and you adapt the format from one to another. We already talked about these channels, but essentially Nick Invests was the first account in the sphere where it was an AI influencer explaining complicated finance stuff and mortgages and different um like stocks and stuff like this. Uh and then basically fasted Fred was the one to adapt the same exact format. You can even see how similar his uh titles are essentially like different colors, different person. But then again, it's an AI influencer uh in 2D uh sticker style format explaining in this case fitness instead of finance. So the fitness and finance, I often see how those niches share similar formats. So again, if you are in any one of those, try to uh look for inspiration like within your indirect competitors because that's where you typically find ideas that you can bring to your industry and become the first one to do so. So basically, here's the formula. How do you niche bend the formats? How do you create a niche for yourself? You find a new format, adapt it to the C content category where you have an advantage, and you create a unique niche. What I mean by that is if you are a fitness trainer yourself, then a fitness niche makes a lot of sense for you. You should probably look for proven formats in finance, in health, um any other industry and try to bring those formats to the industry where you have the skill advantage. Or for example, if you are a finance year and you understand finances, then you know you you do the exact opposite. You look for the formats in the fitness space and you bring the new ones to uh the finance space where you can become the first one to ever use this format. This is what I call the niche band and this is why I say that you will create a niche for yourself because no one else tried this unique combination before. How do you do it in practice? And I couldn't pause this video without giving you the exact step by step. So, I essentially created this map for you where I already did uh the exact same process for two niches. So, you can get an example of how it's going to look like. Essentially, with this one, I started with the most probably the most used format in uh 2D animation I've ever saw, every something explained in x amount of minutes. This format was out there for for years now and uh again, it's been delivering. Uh but the reason why I wanted to start with this one is because I was sure that I will able to find at least a viral video in each and every like content category that we discussed. Um so starting with the most popular ones gaming I found this video greatest esport teams explained in 14 minutes as you can see 400k views and as you can see they just simply bend the same format for gaming. Then lifestyle and vlogs every level of wealth explained in 13 minutes 2.2 2 million views. Then education and science, every band book explained in 15 minutes, 3.4 million views. Again, all of it is on different channels. And some of those are channels specifically designed for this content category for education and science or for example for DIY. This video, this one is the only one that is not faceless, but uh uh 18 types of drywall explained. this could be you know a potential niche for you because again there are no 2D channels explainers in this particular category but again you can see that the market share of this on YouTube is very big uh then health and fitness every drug explained in 17 minutes 2.6 million views beauty and fashion even like I wasn't sure about this category but I managed to find wardrop essentials explained in 12 minutes almost a million views then true crime the most notorious serial killers explained 2.8 8 million views, 1.2 million views in finance, and uh 10,000 views probably the least uh in tech. But again, tech is very small and very target specific. So, you should only go in tech if you have an affiliate link or a product to sell. I wouldn't recommend you go in tech if you just chase the AdSense revenue. So this is how I would start breaking down formats when it comes to uh creating your own niches and uh thinking about uh about those. Now another format that I did this with is explained with bananas. Another one we already discussed but you can already see by looking at the map how many free spots are there. And when you are doing a niche bending method, when you're like researching niches this way, you should always look for formats where they're so untapped that there are more free spots on the on the map than uh the taken ones. Uh so for example this video about tariffs and essentially the monkey economics uh channel is in finance and as you can see finance is just a small portion of the market but there are niches like true crime for example or gaming or lifestyle or science in this case the like science is already taken. So, how to increase testosterone explained by ape. Uh, and this one, health and fitness, you know, different concepts like how fitness works, the ones that we've discussed. But then look at the all of the free spots. I even brainstorm some ideas that you can use. So, like how maniacs are created in society explained with bananas or how this particular murder worked explained by ape and etc. Then real estate, how mortgages work explained by ape or every major comeback in the two explained with bananas etc. So there is so many opportunities within this format because it it was only really used three times in three different industries but all other industry is free where you can bend the format and you can adopt the format for it becoming the first account in this space to ever do it. But this is how you do it in practice. Um, I'm going to link the mirror map for you in the description as well, so that every time you find a format, you can go and analyze whether this format was already used in each or one of those industries or not. And then if it wasn't, then you can dedicate the entire account and become again the first one uh to ever do it, which will result in you getting way more views than competitors because the format becomes your competitive advantage. to give you even more examples of how I and my clients used it in practice. Rome, I'm sure you've seen his channel uh who went through the entire art of YouTube program. He used the niche bending method to create a unique niche for himself. I remind you that a niche is a combination of content category and the market. And uh um with this unique band, he recently crossed a million subs and uh his brand is making close to $50,000 a month just because of the uh properly selected niche at the very beginning of the process. So you remember my channel where history explained with 3D and he was also in the 3D niche 3D space and he decided to focus on scams, casinos and sports and explain them with 3D animation. Um and his most popular videos are gaining 20 30 million views. Uh and again he just recently crossed uh a million subs and now waiting for his gold play button. Now another client of mine uh SE we decided to uh keep the content category. This is also a tool uh for you to to remember. Uh you can keep the content category but then change uh the format which is uh also going to be another niche band that uh you do to invent something unique. In his case, we took inspiration from Infin's Diary channel, which is wholesome commentary channel, and we replaced saturated commentary with something more branded and more unique. Uh, which I'm not going to reveal in this video, but you can look at the graph. You can see that uh Seth made uh his first 10K uh 20K months uh just recently at the end of December um last year. Uh and again, absolutely amazing niche band. He became the first ever to do it uh in this niche. And just recently another client of mine, the one I told you about at the beginning for him. During our on boarding call, I realized that uh he was a dentist basically. He came to me. He was like, "Tim, I want to start a history channel." And I was like, "Yeah, but history is a bit more saturated right now. Are you sure you want to do this?" And then during the conversation, we figured out that he's a dentist. And I was like, "Okay, cool. What if we go to Zagd Films uh as absolutely amazing um 3D example and what if we try to find videos about teeth on his channel and when we did that we realized that every single video that Zach Films did about teeth exploded to tens of millions of views and that's when we knew that teeth are going to work and we decided to start an entire channel about teeth and you know proving that concept for him posted uh only two videos and the first one ever uh to be posted got 500,000 views. Uh again, the the whole channel is about teeth right now. And now he has the competitive advantage because he is a dentist. He just naturally knows way more than his competitors uh about the topic that uh they're talking about. And this is what I call the niche vending. Right now, there are four crazy profitable niches and uh around 12 niche bents that I'm paying attention to and I'm giving to the art of YouTube clients. There are niches like this with a half a billion views and only 36 videos posted or for example the fourth one is the craziest 58 videos posted, 1.2 billion views. And niches like that are very easy to adapt. for example like 2D pixel style animation or low poly style 3D animation. Those are very easy to adapt and there are niche bands just like this one where like almost the full circle is free and you can take any industry you want any industry that interests you because of the RPMs or your professional skill set. And again they're almost all free for the taking because there are just a few channels in those content categories for now. I already personally invested in one of these four and I'm about to scale it using the rest of our system and others are still very untapped as I said but the art of YouTube clients are going to catch up with those very soon. So, if you want to take the natural next step, I highly recommend you check out the art of YouTube. U in the description, you'll find the link to uh to check it out. But essentially, this is where I personally show our clients and students how to hire, build systems, and uh scale YouTube as a business using niche band as just one out of zillion different tactics and uh uh tricks that we use uh to stand out to create something unique and to build niches and channels for ourselves. So, I'm not a fan of those saturated markets such as commentary or AI slop. are more into branded channels, the ones that you can monetize for longer and the ones that will stay around even when YouTube is uh absolutely crazy taking down channels here and there. So, we basically take creators who used to run commentary long form AI slop or other channels and we show them how to dominate the branded YouTube channel space and this is how people are making up to 2K a day uh getting silver play buttons 1.4K 4K day or for example Kil who got 50,000 long form views on his second ever video using the niche band that I actually showed you in this video. Together we'll launch a branded YouTube channel and uh then we'll do three main things. We'll hire the high ROI team of 2D or 3D animators. This is something that we are probably the best at at the market right now. We'll build systems uh so that you can uh run it yourself with a predictable team who you can rely on and uh we'll scale the channels through the ideation and scripting frameworks. Uh again the niche bending tool and method is like one out of like hundreds of different methods that uh I'm going to give you. Choose the niche to uh define niche to then um you know make sure that the niche actually worth it and etc. uh and while helping you along the way with our network of YouTubers, daily script reviews, channel breakdowns, and help of my HR. So, if that sounds something like you'd be interested in, uh just find this link in the description, the art of YouTube.com uh and apply to work directly with me or just watch a free 53minut masterclass that I have on the same exact website. You'll enjoy it anyways. Uh it doesn't make you um like you don't need to leave your email or anything to watch it. Just go ahead, find the link in the description, watch it, and let me know uh if you are ready to take one of those niche bands and scale it to 15K months together with our systems.

Every single week, my team and I research hundreds of YouTube channels to find the seven best faceless YouTube niches that popped off recently. From channels you can literally start printing [music] with right now to complicated branded channels that could change your life. So this week, we start the niche digest with a channel that made $43,000 last month. This is Nick and he cracked the YouTube algorithm and made $43,000 in a single month sharing daily financial tips made with AI. Nick runs a very profitable business. Every day he wakes up, types [music] in a bunch of prompts, records his voice over, and then posts it with a thumbnail made in Canva. All of it costs him less than a few bucks, but his channel generates around $1.5,000 from each video he posts. Now, what makes him unique? Number one, he chose a niche where the RPM are through the roof. But instead of creating actual animations, he decided to spam the audience with highquality AI. This way, he could easily steal ideas from talking hat creators like for example Dave Ramsey and remake them with AI spending less than 2 hours a day working on the channel. I already showed you a bunch of channels using this exact strategy in my previous digests, but it seems to deliver again and again. For example, this channel is a Jeff Nippert's ripoff made with 2D animation. And this one is a copy of Brian Johnson's ideas made in 3D. So, if you can find an interesting creator in an attractive market like fitness, finance, or health, you can run a channel like that, repackaging the information they share in a better, easier to understand way. And that's how instead of copying the niche, you can create one for yourself and monopolize it the same way Nick did. Now, before we continue and I show you the next six niches that are getting more and more profitable and interesting to start right now, if you don't know who I am, my name is Tim. I'm running a portfolio of branded YouTube channels that now does around $70,000 a month. And just this year, 2025, it got over 5 billion views across multiple channels that I bet you watch in your free time. So, the niches that I'm mainly focusing on are long-term high profitability branded opportunities. And unlike others, I'm not going to give you the AI slope or commentary that is oversaturated with the kids trying to make their first dollar. The niches from this [music] digest are the opportunities to make $20,000 a month minimum and to do it for years, not for weeks, just like our next channel. This YouTube Shorts channel went from zero to 100 million views a month and $11,000 in revenue in just 40 days because of a simple trick no one seems to notice. His videos are 2D animations of this funny hats. But what's really important is where he got the format because the format is almost a complete copy of what Low by Mike does in his videos. But while Mike spends hours a day shooting videos with himself and actors, this guy decided to be a business, not a creator. He took a few pictures of his face, hired an animator, and now he's using a proven framework, hooks, and formats from Mike, but doesn't spend a single hour recording this videos. And this is how his most popular videos are getting 10, 20, or even 30 million views, making him thousands of dollars. One of my clients has actually used this strategy in 3D. His name is Rome. His videos are similar to what Zag Films does, but he's animating himself into those videos, making them absolutely unique and outstanding. By the way, he's about to hit a million subscribers. This is the goal that we set together when we started working. Uh we hit our financial goals a long time ago because his brand went from 5 to 25k from YouTube in about 30 days since we started working together. Now he does around 50k a month. But the gold pl was almost as important for him as uh the financial goals. So find Rome on YouTube and go congratulate him with his big win. The two brothers started an animated history channel, posted two videos and absolutely blew up. They got monetized after the first video, generated 250,000 views, and most likely made around 1 1.5K. And yes, it's not a lot, but there's something in their faceless niche that can change their lives. You see, they have what I call the skill barrier to entry advantage, which basically means you can't jump into this niche without knowing history. Unlike others who use AI to generate their scripts, they actually know history themselves. They add historical jokes, structure the videos in a way that's genuinely interesting to watch, and clearly choose topics that audience cares about. And when you pair that with a high barrier to entry created by the animated style, you get a niche that's almost impossible to steal, but they still have a disadvantage. My guess is that these guys [music] are animating their own videos. And that's why it takes them months just to complete a single piece. And unfortunately, if they don't manage to build a good team, no matter how bulletproof their positioning is, their YouTube game is brutal. And uh someone will eventually steal their ideas and formats. So even when you have a perfect niche, your hiring skills are what's required to truly scale a YouTube business. The next faceless YouTube channel blew up to 5 million views and $7,000 in revenue within the last 13 days. And it opens an insane [music] AI opportunity that didn't exist before because this channel simply generates alternative stories with famous characters. And we've all seen AI brain rod cartoons getting billions of views on Tik Tok, but this is actually the first time I'm seeing a highquality cartoons that are interesting to watch with popular characters on top. And the beauty of this niche is that all you need to hop on this trend is V3 for video generation, a good sound designer, and some basic editing skills. Also, if you look at their thumbnails, you will see that their funeral stories are for some reason getting the most views on the channel. And obviously, I'm not recommending you to copy it or anything, but try to find another cartoons you can adapt to this format. Basically, creating new subniche for yourself. Hi, this YouTube channel was made on a rock folding in space. And while other rocks are struggling to get views, they generated 19 million of them from just six videos, making an astonishing $180,000, which is 30 grand per video. And what pisses me off is that uh there are beautiful niches like that generating life-changing money, but the reason people don't even look into those is because they always try to find a faceless YouTube niche instead of looking at what they already have inside them. This channel basically explains physics, biology, and other science. So, it has the same skill barrier to entry as the previous example. And it reminds me of a client of mine, a dentist who wanted to start a faceless YouTube channel. and we talked about some history niches and like that. But then I literally opened Zagil's profile and typed in teeth only to see that all of his videos about teeth exploded like crazy. So we decided to launch a 3D animated channel dedicated to teeth. And because my client was a dentist, he had the skill advantage that no one else in the niche had. And that's why you should never search for the niche, but rather use what you have inside your skills to create a niche where you have the unfair [music] advantage. Fasted Fred explains fasting and fat loss and makes $8,000 doing so. His YouTube channel exploded recently and in a couple of months, he built a branded fitness channel without showing his face. His videos are very simple animated AI generated characters, meaning they cost less than 30 bucks to make, but each one of them generates around $500. And while this niche isn't the biggest one we've seen in this digest, the same way Nick monopolized finance, Fred monopolized fitness, you can pick any free industry getting billions of views like health, gaming, or science and create an AI influencer that will make you $5 to $10,000 a month in it. All you need to start it is niche team and SOPs. I don't like this channel, but I can't walk past a money printing machine like that. This channel generated $57,000 last month from biblical stories animated with AI. I thought biblical trend was long way gone, but this channel managed to find a hybrid between AI generated footage and highquality editing with motion elements. All of this made their videos stand out and I guess that's why they're getting millions of views. But what's most important is that most of these views come from an older audience driving their RPMs close to 14 per,000 views. I'm not saying you should copy it because I remember thousands of biblical channels created in May that basically fluided the algorithm. But if you find a niche where you can make older people watch highquality AI content, you can usually get paid really well. And this is what the audience calls this is how the AI should be used. All right, so these were the seven best niches of the week. As usual, my team and I are constantly searching the algorithm trying to find the best outliers. This week, we found 11 of them. The seven you just saw, but the other four I've already recommended to our [music] Art of YouTube coaching clients. And because I don't want to flute their niches uh with competitors, I can't really leak them uh publicly. But what I would say is if you have a basic understanding of how YouTube works and you want to build a branded long-term highquality channel that will make you $10 to $15,000 a month, I just recorded a free 53minut course that you will find by clicking the first link [music] in the description. You can also book a free call with the head of client strategy at Art of YouTube to see if you are in the right spot to launch a branded channel right now. 2026 is the year of faceless YouTube.

Zag de Films generates three billion views and $250,000 from faceless YouTube shorts most of you have seen. And while everyone is trying to steal his videos with some shitty AI tools, I was able to turn his strategy into three active YouTube shorts channels. 5 billion views, 3 million subscribers, and over $350,000 made just from AdSense alone. Here you can see our flagship channel, The Art of War and its earnings, Zackfelm's channel, and another 3D channel that we run right now. And all of those channels are constantly going viral, getting hundreds of millions of views. So, in this video, I'm going to show you the entire process from ideiation and scripting to hiring 3D animators. And one thing I can promise you, while Zach is spending thousands of dollars to create his videos, I'm going to show you the secret method to do it for 60 70% cheaper than the rest of the market. And to give you some extra proof, let me actually open those channels and show you uh the stats. I'm going to start with uh this uh flagship channel. as you can see are the word that generated 3.7 billion views. Uh and all of it ended up in uh us making $260,000. Overall, the channel is at 1.5 million subscribers right now. At our pick, we generated $4,000 in a single uh day. This was just one. The next channel, as you can see here, generated $41,000. Uh it just started to uh to make money in October. And then the third channel uh has generated $56,000 and again uh got monetized around August and started making its uh uh good money around September. So now when we get that out of the way, let's actually get started with ideiation because I believe that Zach Films is a truly unique storyteller. He's creating 30-cond movies instead of regular YouTube shorts. Because when you think about that, a normal YouTube shorts creator would record a video like this. These are the three crazy ways people actually escaped prison. First is this guy and he did this and that and then ended up escaping the prison. Next is that guy and he did this blah blah blah. And then finally we have that guy. So this is a very typical YouTube short structure. Everyone else is doing the same thing. But the uniqueness of Zakde Films is that he actually storytells his videos differently. First of all, he only has one topic per video. But then second of all, he immediately throws you into action. So his video would go something like this. He took a bowl of Misa soup and poured it over the bars of his prison cell. Day after day, he repeated this process, pouring more and more soup onto the iron bars. So he immediately starts with the most catchy part of the scene of the video. and then he just develops the story from there and in the end he always gives you the payoff that makes you want to watch the video again. So in this particular video uh the the payoff was that was that the guy was actually um never caught after uh his escape and the most catchy and interesting part is him actually pouring the misa soup over the bars of his prison cell which is again a very catchy moment to start the video with. So, when coming up with ideas, uh there is a couple of rules that you need to uh have in mind. And this is where I've seen 90% of Zach's copycats actually fail because I've seen channels come and go in this space. And uh there are dozen of them who tried the expensive 3D animations, but they fail because of their ideation frameworks and the principles that I'm sharing with you right now. So, number one, you have to always have one key idea per script. In this example, we have three ideas because we have three guys who escaped prison in uh three different ways. But here we actually have one key idea per script, which is a guy escaped and he was never caught and he used Mrs. Soup as a way to escape. So it's a single story uh told in a very interesting way. So Zach hates lists. You won't find a single video from him that has a list of things. It's always one simple story per video. Number two, you have to share a story that has interesting twist that can work as a hook and then it also has a payoff. So a payoff and a twist are actually different things and many people get that wrong. They think that they need to uh keep the payoff at the very end of the video and then the beginning of the video is just the development of the story which is true. You do need to give a payoff at the very end of your video. But then if you don't have a twist at the beginning like something catchy then there is no reason for a viewer to watch the video till the payoff uh till the end. For example uh let's uh actually watch and analyze uh this video from him. So in this video he's just sharing a story of a guy who lost his eye and wanted to have a diamond prosthetic eye instead. And a typical storytelling creator would probably start with the guy losing an eye and then wanting to create an another one. And then the payoff is obviously the guy does succeed and he makes this u like the the professional like makes this eye for for the guy and he manages to you know wear it every day. But then the interesting twist and then the catch of this video is actually this first few seconds of the video right here. the tool suctions onto the fake eye before completely plucking it out of the socket. So, this is the catch. This is the most catchy and interesting part of this video. And this is why the video blew up to uh 10 million views because the first scene of this tool uh suctioning into an eye is like it's impossible to scroll like you cannot stop watching it. So sometimes Zach would add a part of the video that is not necessary because again the tool is not somehow connected to the rest of the story. The story is just a guy lost an eye and then he wanted to build a prosthetic eye and then he he used a diamond to to be unique. Right? That's the story. But then he added an unnecessary detail the tool because it's very catchy and very visual. Zach Deil's videos are very visual based. So they are not only about ideas and storytelling. that are also about visuals and the visuals has to be strong to keep the viewers's attention for longer. So this is the catchy moment. This is the stuff that makes the viewer watch and increases your swipe rate. Uh and then the payoff is obviously what makes them watch till the end and what is responsible for the AVD average view duration and make sure that the people actually watch the video uh till the end. And number three, the story that he shares always has what Petty Gway calls the CCN fit, which is core casual new audience feed. Zach has a massive following, 25 million followers. Obviously has some military videos, some biology videos, some science videos, some uh crazy theoretical videos, and obviously people followed him from all of those different videos. So every single video of his has to satisfy every single follower and viewer of his channel. And then these are the three most important groups that he shoots at. The core audience which is obviously people who are his biggest fans and they would watch anything that he posts. The casual people who watch him from time to time. He needs to re-engage those on the channel and ideally try to make them uh his core audience which is not always possible. And then the new audience. So the videos has to appeal to people who have never seen him before and maybe they're not even familiar with 3D animation. So for them his animations need to be very very simple to understand and obviously he's uh not connecting his videos together uh because uh this will basically kill uh the the reach that he gets from uh new audiences. So again, the CCN framework uh is uh something for you to think of when coming up with ideas for your uh 3D channel. Now, let's talk about scripting because I'm going to give you the framework that I use on all three of our channels to come up with uh three ideas and scripts in just 30 seconds. Um and then we only use AI uh to do so. I call this the upgrade strategy and basically it works in uh just six simple steps. So number one uh you need to use this tool to get the no GPT to get the transcript of uh the video. So you find uh an idea or a video of a competitor uh sharing something interesting and related to your core topic in a lower class format meaning 3D is at the top. Below that is 2D then below that is talking hat then below that is AI and then commentary. So, commentary, AI, talking hat, 2D, 3D. You can find any script uh that blew up for uh people in the lower categories and you can basically upgrade its quality with 3D. This was one of the most successful ways uh I was able to uh find ideas for my channels. So, for example, uh we would go to the talking hat creator Law by Mike and he created the video real ways uh people escaped prison, the one that we've uh already discussed. Then you copy and paste the uh transcript of this video. I have it here. You don't need to read it. So that's why it's uh uh it's in very uh small text. Number two, uh you need to find a topic. So here you need to paste something that you're actively searching for. In our case, we're going to find prison escapes uh from Zagi Films. So you literally go on his channel, you find this uh uh little uh searching tool. So you go on his channel. uh you click here and you go prison uh or prison escape or something like this. What you're trying to do here is to find a format reference a video that already blew up on his channel and steal its structure because um yeah so you can search for prison escape police uh whatever uh you're trying to find uh a video format and then get it transcribed as well. So here I have a transcription of uh another video uh a misa soup video uh that we've already discussed and you still use no GPT for uh for that. Now just copy and paste this prompt with uh the first video from Zakde Films. So this is the reference video and then put put a and then put a low by mic video here. again law by Mike in our case you put whatever you use as uh the idea reference uh that you found in the first colum uh and then basically this prompt will ask chip or you can use cloth AI for that as well uh it will ask it to restructure the idea from this script and then just put it in a format of that script meaning you're going to get a viral idea from a channel that in meaning this way you will have a viral idea from a channel from a lower category of content and AI will rewrite it in exact day films format completely done for you. So then you copy paste this prompt you go to charg and uh basically get uh three scripts out of uh a single prompt and you repeat this process with cloth AI. Uh this is what I often do to compare the results because from time to time I like the chip scripts more or sometimes cloth performs better. So I always do both to see who will script the best video. Uh so you choose the best one and obviously you polish them a little bit and try to remove the AI touch and try to make your script sound very very natural. But uh this is how you turn a single video from a competitor into uh three in this case uh three uh stories for uh the 3D animated channel. Or you can for example uh take a long form video and turn it into 15 readym made scripts using the same exact prompt. Uh or yeah you can turn talking hat shorts into Zagi film shorts. You can turn articles into Zagi film shorts this way. You can turn Chachi PT ideas into Zagi film style shorts. You can basically do anything as long as you have a very good reference. And because Zagd Films have posted over 3,000 videos, you can almost always find a video reference for the topic that you're uh creating content on. So yeah, you can turn books, movies, whatever you want, you can turn it into Zagi Films video if you have a good reference and uh you're using uh this prompt. By the way, if you need this Google document and all of the prompts that I'm showing you today, then just stay up until the end. I'll show you how you can get uh this document and all other prompts uh that you will see today. Now, when you know how to choose the best ideas and you also know how to script them in 30 seconds, let me actually show you how to hire 3D animators and save 50 60% on their salaries. Because hiring is what makes him so unique. This uh increases the bar, increases the barrier to entry in 3D niche and that's what makes this niche so appealing because unlike AI niches, nobody can just come and start a channel within 2 3 days. People need to actually hire 3D animators or learn the skill of animating themselves which will take them years um to you know be become a competitor of yours. So reason why those channels are uh scaling my my channels and the reason why I keep investing in channels in that niche is because it's almost impossible for uh people who don't understand hiring uh to you know run a channel like that. It's very expensive. It's hard to manage and uh you know over the long run most of them will uh give up. So that's why everyone else, you know, they work with freelancers which are unreliable, often overpriced and not trainable at all. Because when you think about the freelancer, why would they train for for your company if they can just go and find another project where it's not as hard to, you know, uh complete, they they will just obviously leave you and uh uh start working for someone else. Uh they most likely hire on Upwork and Fiverr, uh which is oversaturated. everyone tries to hire there. Uh they have a terrible work ethic because again they they don't care. They they will find another project within 15 minutes. Uh uh these platforms are structured around freelancers, not around companies trying to hire them. Uh and they always come up with excuses. If you ever worked with freelancers, you know what I'm talking about. And mistake number three is that they always hire from India, Pakistan, and Nigeria. Uh again nothing against those uh countries but uh I just seen so many people fail because uh they go into uh those countries obviously they are cheaper but then the cultural barrier does not allow them to create the quality of content that uh you're searching for. So most of the time you end up with a video that you don't like but you don't really know how to tell them that the video is bad. So me and Art of YouTube clients by extension uh we do it in a different way. uh instead of copying it with AI or working with overpriced freelancers, what we do is we build full-time high ROI teams. The teams that are reliable that are 50 70% cheaper. To give you context, Zach Films is paying a,000 bucks per video. And uh uh recently we did the the study on how much we paid on average over the last 6 months and it was $125 per video. So it's almost 10 times cheaper than what Zak Films is paying. And most of our videos are almost the same quality. So it's like 80% of the Zactifi film's quality, but then only 12% of his pay, which is a huge difference. And obviously these teams are trainable. So we host workshops for our teams. We have an internal course for 3D animators. And we do all of that to keep increasing their skills and keep building the culture within our team. Uh number two, we don't hire on Upwork and Fiverr, we hire on Telegram. Telegram. Think about it as Discord. It has a bunch of different communities that if you know exist, you can then just come in and hire uh people who are actively looking for the 3D job. And what's unique about Telegram is it's not saturated. I don't know a single person be besides me and uh my art of YouTube clients who hire from there uh because it's not as uh clear. It's not as known as for example Discord or Upwork or Fiverr. uh they have a very crazy work ethic and they dream of uh working on a YouTube channel with US companies because we mainly hire from C's countries meaning the Eastern Europe uh and they don't have the cultural barrier. They consume European movies and American movies. They uh consume the same Tik Toks and YouTube videos. Uh but most of the time these countries are closed for the worldwide market. they're not not as known and uh it's not the countries that you think about you know when you need to hire someone most of the time you go there which makes it very oversaturated and uh useless basically but then uh we've been doing this for the last 8 months and it had an incredible result uh on our performance so the process is actually very simple uh number one we draft a job post sell in our company it's very important 3D animators are probably the hardest role to hire for and you need to convince them to work for you. So, it's not like a typical freelance job post where you just uh tell them how how much you're going to pay and they're, you know, um accepting that with excitement. Most of the time you need to sell the future, the company, the channel, the vision and only then you can get a very high quality animators u you know being motivated by working with you. Number two, you must post it in six 10 Telegram channels and groups just to get the most exposure possible. And by the way, like all of those assets are a part of the art of YouTube program. So we basically just give our clients a copy and paste framework for the entire hiring funnel. And we basically then create a Google form uh to filter out bad candidates. A very simple one, step by step, uh your name, your portfolio, examples of your work, blah blah blah. Uh and then we assign the test tasks to the best ones, the ones who pass the Google form. And again, the test tasks is uh another like very simple to copy asset uh that we give inside of the art of YouTube program. So basically when you come in, click a few buttons, you copy and paste the hiring system. Uh by the end of two weeks, you already have one or two animators working on your team uh that you will pay 100 bucks per video for. Compare it to Upwork where you spend the same two weeks but you get a demotivated person that will charge you 400 bucks for lower quality videos. It's just not comparable. That's what I call an unfair advantage. If you really want to dive deep into how the hiring works, I highly recommend you watch the viral seed show I have on this same YouTube channel uh that I recorded with uh Seap. Seb went from zero to 150 million views and 250,000 followers uh within the first two weeks of launching his 3D channel. So uh he came to me with a like the simple question team how do I scale it to a billion views a month and basically uh the main thing that we did is we fixed his hiring mindset and the hiring funnel. So, highly recommend you. It's a very long video, but uh if you are into hiring 3D animators, this is probably the only piece of information that exists on YouTube that you can watch that can help you out with uh with your stuff. But Houston, we have a problem because uh there's dozen of lowquality channels already trying to replicate Zag film success. I don't know if you can see those but uh you can simply go incognito on YouTube and try to find Zag films and then watch his competitors. You'll see that there's already those of them. It's not yet thousands of them but uh there is a few competitors constantly trying to get uh the market share from him and from my channels as well. All of them are low quality. Their ideas suck. They don't understand how scripting work. U you know the the stuff that I showed you, they have never seen this before. uh they can deliver consistent good quality but still they exist and it is a problem because ZagD films niche is slowly becoming saturated and the more share of it you already have the better for you. So my channels with over 3 million followers by now they will be fine because they have their subniches. They are different from Zagni films. We actually work a lot on our branding and stuff. But simply copying Zagna films is not going to work anymore in 2026. So you basically have a choice right now. You have a very bad one. You can compete with them in a very saturated subniche. You can go into uh war animations like probably like three of those channels. You can go into history animations which is again another uh saturated subniche under Zagni films or you can choose one of the other two options that are actually very good ones. You can find an untapped subniche in 3D like for example uh Tony 3D did. So, this guy Tony actually uh is a chess fan and uh he decided to make all of his videos about chess and he did very well because uh his videos got 141 million views and he only posted 32 of them. So, you can go the Tony road and find an untapped subniche and then use 3D animation to conquer it. Or the third choice that you have is you can find a different niche, not in 3D, but that has the potential similar to what Zak Films had 8 months ago when I started my first channel. And this way, you're not going to become the Zakde Films clone. And you're lucky because you're watching this video. So, I'm going to give you four of those niches. Uh show you uh the potential that exists in those. Uh these are the ones that I'm, you know, paying attention to right now. Niche number one has 36 videos and almost half a billion views with almost 700,000 followers. Uh it's a 2D sticker style animated stories and there's only one big 2D channel uh in the niche. Uh and uh he's getting 13 million views on average with a very untapped format that I haven't seen uh many people use. The potential here is uh $3,000 a month is what you're going to pay to for uh 2D animators. This is way less than uh 3D animations cost. Uh the potential in views is 600 million views a month conservatively maybe even more than that. And uh the potential revenue is $70,000 which is crazy. Uh our best months with 3D animation we did uh I think on a single channel 56k. So, this is even more than that because the format is still very much untapped. Uh, niche number two, 41 video, 200 million views, uh, 280,000 subscribers, 2D pixel style animations, only one big channel in the niche that uh, that we found. And videos again that are very easy to produce. That's what brings your expenses down to $2,000 a month. And the potential of the niche is 200 plus million views and 24 $25,000 a month. If you like paxel style videos, uh there is a niche for you. Um and then if we move forward, uh niche number three, 49 videos, 250 million views. Again, very untapped, uh like low poly style animations. Only one channel in niche doing 5.2 million views on average. Low poly is something that is easier to animate than 3D. You can pump out, you know, one video a day with a very good animator. So expenses 4.5k a month approximately, maybe even less than that. And then the potential in my opinion is about 300 million views and $32,000 a month. And the last one I'm going to give you is probably the craziest one of all of them because this guy got 50 uh posted 58 videos, got 1.2 billion views, and generated over 1 million subscribers. Uh so this one is in Roblox. Roblox is uh a niche that I'm paying close attention to because it's blowing up like crazy. Uh and there are many lowquality competitors and just a few 3D actual channels. Um and because it's Roblox, you can probably find a very big fan of Roblox who will become your animator and who will, you know, create those videos for you with a passion in his heart for what he does. Uh the expenses about 5K a month. Again, it's 3D, so that's why it's expensive. But then it's Roblox, that's why it's a bit cheaper than Zagd style. Uh, and a potential in views, in my opinion, over a billion views a month and 19,000 $90,000 if you know how to hire and manage a team of three to four uh people that will create this content for you. U so I personally already invested in one of these uh four niches. We added the fourth channel to our portfolio uh to the portfolio of uh this three channels that I showed you at the beginning. Now we actually have four and one of them is uh in one of those four niches uh and the rest is still very much untapped and the art of YouTube clients will uh soon be you know taking over uh those. And if you don't know what the art of YouTube uh actually is, this is my personal coaching program where uh I show students of ours how to hire, build systems, and scale YouTube channels as business. We don't do any AI slop. We don't do any commentary. We don't do any short-term niches. We're here for branded long-term uh niches uh that uh not only blew up, but generate revenue for years, not weeks. And uh this is exactly how Rome for example, a channel that you've probably seen in your feed, uh generated 1.7K in a single day. Uh Seb got his silver play button in under two weeks. Uh and then uh generated 1.4,000 in a few days later. And then Amrew got his first video uh that sits at about 9 million views uh right now. But then again for him it was a big success because the first ever video exploded in a complicated branded niche that you will run for for a long time. Um so if that sounds somehow interesting together we will launch a branded channel for you in a high barrier to entry niche then me and my team are going to help you hire high ROI team for 2D 3D uh any complicated niche. Basically we have the best hiring systems uh that will help you with that. then build systems uh that uh we ourselves use to operate uh the channels and manage those teams. Uh and then number three is we're going to scale the channel through our ideation and scripting framework because the prompts that I gave you today are just the tip of the iceberg of what we actually have. Uh that basically guarantees that that that our channels are uh scaling even faster than um you know you scale them now. And we're going to do that while also helping you along the way with our networking of YouTubers. Daily script reviews. You will literally submit your scripts and I'm going to personally review them making sure that you squeeze the most virality possible out of each one of them. Uh then channel breakdowns and the help of my uh HR uh that will help you find and manage uh the team required to run a complicated channel. But there are some bad news as well uh as usual because uh I'm investing my time and energy into uh each client of ours and u I have to protect it because I also now have four branded channels to run and a huge team of over 30 people that we operate. So that's why we only accept uh three coaching clients before the end of the year and then the art of YouTube program will uh raise its price. So, if you wanted to join for a while, this uh might just be the sign that uh you need to do it uh now. So, find the art of youtube.com link in the description or in a pinned comment uh and apply to work directly with me and my team and uh we're going to get you the results just like uh this ones. I'll see you in the next

If it looks like everyone is making money with faceless YouTube, but you're not, that's not because of your skills, but because of your niche. The vehicle that you choose is what decides whether your channel gets millions or even billions of views or fails and gets stuck. In this video, I'm going to show you seven faceless YouTube channels that are making thousands of dollars and how you can copy them. Let's get started. So, the craziest niche leak of the week is the Majestic AI Studio, the channel that generated $3,000 on a single video posted just 2 days ago. So, this channel is doing AI video stories with ideas that they steal from Agent Flappy, another uh 2D animated faceless channel. Uh, and they were doing decent. I mean, five videos, a million views, around 6 to7,000 made. Uh, but then they post this video and everything changes. They try new format and the video explodes to $450,000 views in 36 hours. It generates them about $3,000 and it's incredibly easy to replicate. The original idea is a tour of London in 1700s. You can run a dedicated channel for tours and create videos on New York, Egypt, Napoleonic wars, World War II, and many other moments in history uh that uh you can recreate and visualize with AI. And what's really important is that the comments under this video actually say that this is how AI should be used. meaning the audience absolutely loved the format and again I haven't seen it anywhere. It's brand new and it's still very underrated but as usual AI niches are dying out very quickly. So this niche has uh about 2 months before it gets fluted with other uh AI competitors. So if you want to run a channel like that I think the potential here is 40 to$120,000 in the next uh 3 months but you have to be quick. A faceless YouTube channel generated 30,000 because of a German girl with a beer they put on their thumbnail. This channel has only posted 20 videos, got 6 million views, and most of its views came from two video outliers, both having the same German lady with a beer on their thumbnail. I don't know what's up with this ladies, but recently another video with a similar girl exploded on a completely separate channel generated 13x more views than usual. So, if you're running some kind of a 2D animated channel, my totally serious, highly scientific recommendation is Busty German Women with Beer. The next faceless YouTube channel generated $105,000 with only 12 videos, meaning 100K of it is Pure Profit. They're creating 2D animated videos in the best niche of all, finance, and their most popular video is a breakdown of how the Wolf of Wall Street scam worked. But they still have two weaknesses that if you fix, you can dominate the niche right now. Number one is volume. Because they likely hire on Upwork and Fiverr, they're definitely overpaying for freelancers and it takes them 3 weeks to complete a single video. With 2D animators that we hire for our clients, a video like that would take us 3 to 5 days to uh complete. Meaning, if you can come into that niche with 3 to 5x the volume, you can quickly monopolize it for yourself. And number two is ideiation. Because the moment a video about Wolf of Wall Street exploded to 2.5 million views, they should have learned from what worked and then tried to scale it. But instead, they kept posting some random ideas that basically flopped after that. I would be recommending this amazing channel and niche to my clients because with our ideation and hiring systems, one of them could easily print 30 to 40k per month just like that. So you can also steal it if you're there. The Rock in the Space posted eight videos, generated $44,000, averaging around $5,000 per upload. Their most popular videos got five and three million views, and their strategy is so simple, anyone can steal it. So, the reason why this channel is so popular is the high barrier to entry. The 2D animations they produce would cost thousands of dollars if you try to hire an animator on Upwork and Fiverr. But if you go on Telegram and find communities of 2D animators from these countries, you can actually cut those costs by 5x. I, by the way, did exactly that, hiring for all three of our branded 3D and 2D channels that we run right now. And my margin is still 63% in some of the most complicated niches on YouTube. And if you want to steal and adopt this format for yourself, also pay close attention to the three-way split thumbnails because I've seen those work across multiple channels. Overall, a very good niche to take inspiration from. Very untapped if you know how to hire. This YouTube Shorts channel posted 57 shorts, gained 1 million subscribers, and generated 1.2 billion views. All thanks to the powerful strategy nobody seems to notice. This channel is posting Roblox animations and their most popular video got 150 million views, meaning it generated 15,000 from a 30-cond clip. I call it the content upgrade method. When you find something that is already getting billions of views, like Roblox in-game footage videos, for example, and you upgrade it quality with animation, which allows more creative freedom. With Roblox, you can use Roblox Studio and Blender to animate those unique videos yourself or find an investor and hire a team of animators right away to scale faster. This is what I did with one of my first channels when I didn't have the cash to run it by myself. I sold 10% of it for 3 months worth of team salaries and then we went from $6,000 a month to $56,000 a month in about 45 days. Overall, a perfect niche for anyone who understands Roblox and can learn how to hire good animators. For example, from me. This one is really funny. A video of a,000 ants versus obstacles got 10 million views and made almost 80,000 to its creator within the first 10 days. Honestly, when launching faceless YouTube channels, people mainly look into AI, maybe animated channels from time to time, but then there is a whole class of channels printing millions of dollars because no one even dares to compete with them. Yes, some of them require a,000 ants, but that's the actual reason why it works. And this creator has already made $120,000 from 1,000 ants versus black widow, $80,000 from the pet lich, $50,000 from a black widow versus venous fly trap. And overall, they made over half a million from just 81 video. So be creative with those niches. Get yourself some ants. And let's continue. Niche leak AI channel made $47,000 in less than a month posting videos completely made with AI. Their best videos are depressing stories of how money, power and control works and their thumbnails are so good that I myself clicked on one of them from the homepage. Basically, all you need to run a channel like that is a thumbnail designer which will cost you 15 bucks and then midjourney subscription uh so you can generate all of those pictures. So overall, the channel will cost you 200 bucks to run. But because their niche is economy, I can almost guarantee that their RPM is higher than what Next Leaf is showing here. Meaning you can make up to $20,000 from every million views you get. Early niche alert. A video of 10 AIS that play mafia got 1.1 million views, generated $9,000 in just 12 days since it was posted. For context, it happened on a fresh channel. And uh here's why it works. Number one, we know that videos with animals competing with each other or trying to achieve something are going crazy viral right now. And two, AI is also a very popular topic right now. So, if you combine the two and make AI compete with each other for something, you'll likely get a result like that. And again, it only happened 12 days ago, so the niche is still very untapped. And I haven't seen a single channel dedicated for
