The speaker introduces his earnings from faceless AI YouTube Shorts and shows proof from his own channel dashboards. He sets up the video as a step-by-step guide to building a similar business.
Last month I made over $27,000 posting AI videos on YouTube Shorts.I don't show my face in these videos at all.It takes me literally about an hour a day of work to do this.And in this video, I'm going to walk you through everything that I do to create AI content, post it to YouTube Shorts, and turn it into a business that generates over $300,000 a year for me as a 20-year-old.This is one of the dashboards from one of my own faceless YouTube channels.I've been running this channel for about a year and a half, and in the last 365 days, it's generated a little over $180,000.We consistently do anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars a day.We've hit days as high as like $1,700 in a single day.And you can see just a couple days ago we made over $1,000 again in one day.
If I change this to lifetime, though, you'll see we've done over 3.7 billion views on this channel and made over 335,000 US dollars from it.So, enough talking, let's get straight into it, and I'm going to show you exactly how you can build a channel just like that.
He explains why YouTube Shorts are especially attractive right now, focusing on higher RPMs, lower competition, and easier content creation with AI. He also shows evidence that AI tools can speed up research and editing.
Before I go any further, I want to explain why this is such a big opportunity right now, specifically in quarter four of 2026.Over the last few months, there has been an insane shift on the YouTube platform, and what has happened is that YouTube is now paying a lot more for YouTube Shorts.An RPM is just how much YouTube pays you per 1,000 views, and I'm not just saying that RPMs have gone up.I'm going to show you proof.I'm going to prove this by showing you the stats on one of my own YouTube Shorts that I posted less than 2 weeks ago.You can see this video went up about 8 days ago, and it's got over 12 million views so far.But if I switch this over to the revenue tab, you'll see that this video has an RPM of 46 cents, which is why it earned over $3,000 with only 12 million views.
This is a YouTube Short that I posted on the same channel about a year ago.You can see this video went up over a year ago, and it got 79 million views, but it made only about $4,000, which is hardly more than the other video that only had 12 million views.But this one has almost 80 million views.The RPM on this one is literally 9 cents per thousand views.Last year I was still making like 10 to 20,000 dollars a month with YouTube Shorts, but I needed five times the views to be able to achieve it.And now I've got videos like this that get 12 million views and make me as much money as the videos that used to get 70, 80, even 100 million views.But higher RPMs are not the only reason that YouTube Shorts is such a big opportunity right now.
Almost no one is trying to start faceless YouTube channels and start faceless YouTube Shorts right now.And again, I've got proof of this.On Google Trends, the search terms YouTube automation and the search terms faceless YouTube are both at an all-time low.Faceless YouTube as a business model got crazy popular last year around December of 2025.see this was the peak of the search traffic for this business model.And literally everyone and their mom wanted to start YouTube Shorts.It was the most viral side hustle on the internet.Thousands of people every day trying to start channels and get into it, and it was creating a ton of competition and making the market very saturated.But because of that, a lot of people weren't able to see success and they all quit.And now you can see the search traffic for people looking up how to start faceless YouTube channels and how to get into YouTube automation is at an all-time low since literally 2022.
Not only is YouTube paying more than ever for YouTube Shorts, there's also the lowest competition there's been in years, and it is the easiest to go viral that it has ever been.But on top of all that, there's something even more important, which is that AI and ChatGPT have made it so much easier to create content.It used to take hours to make a single YouTube Short, and now using the process I'm going to show you in this video, I've figured out ways to automate the most time-consuming parts of creating videos that actually areproven to go viral and will work on YouTube Shorts.Because one of the most time-consuming parts of making actually viral videos has always been research.And literally just in the last couple weeks, there's a new method with ChatGPT to completely automate this, which allows you to generate infinite video ideas that are actually proven to go viral.
And then combining that with some other AI tools, you're able to automate the editing process so that now you can edit videos in literally like 5 minutes.
The speaker introduces ranking content as the best Shorts niche and explains how these videos work. He then walks through using ChatGPT and VidIQ to research inspiration channels and identify repeat-winning topics.
So now I'm going to show you the exact type of YouTube Shorts that I make and that you should be making, and exactly how to make them step-by-step.So here it is, the best niche on YouTube Shorts is ranking content.I know I've talked about ranking a lot on my channel, but this is still to this day the best niche that you can get into, especially as a newer person to YouTube shorts.This channel right here of just 400 videos has gotten to 2 million subscribers and they've gotten over 4.7 billion views.Every single one of these videos was posted in the last week.They're all getting millions of views.This one even got 10 million views and it was posted like 8 days ago.Literally all these guys do is compile a bunch of clips that are centered around one topic.So for example, ranking best bunny moments is this video's topic and then they just go get a bunch of different clips about bunnies and they rank them in order of like which one is the funniest.
And they'll do all sorts of different video topics.You can see this one right here, ranking best hot weather moments.Same thing, they're just compiling all those clips together to create this new unique video.And again, this is my all-time favorite niche on YouTube shorts.I've made hundreds of thousands of dollars off these videos.And now I'm going to show you the best way to actually make these videos and make sure that they go viral literally every single time.So step one is you have to do video research to figure out what the most viral video topics are right now that are going to get you the most views.To do this, you need to find inspiration channels.So literally just go on YouTube, search up ranking and just watch a bunch of the ranking videos that pop up.And before you know it, your entire shorts feed will literally just feed you a ton of ranking videos.
And you want to basically just find a ton of inspiration channels like this that you can kind of steal video ideas from.You don't want to just go through and see one that got, I don't know, like a couple million views and be like, yeah, that's got to be a good video idea because it might not be.There is a very specific process you have to go through here to make sure it's a good idea.And this is what used to take hours to do manually, but we can now do entirely with AI.To do this, you're going to open up Chat GPT and then go to this little button right here, which is plugins and just click plugins.And then you're going to search up VidIQ and just click on that and then you can go install plugin.Now from here it's going to ask you to set this up.
You just have to go through some steps and click authorize.And just like that, it's going to install the plugin.Now from here you can go back to the home page of Chat GPT, click plus and you will see that now you have VidIQ and you can add that before you start typing a prompt.VidIQ basically just gives Chat GPT access to scan YouTube.So next what you're going to do is you're going to type out this prompt after the VidIQ symbol right there.So you're going to say, "Analyze this YouTube channel, find the most viral recurring video topics that go viral over and over again for them."I'll leave this up on the screen, you can screenshot it, write it down, whatever you need to do, but this is the prompt that I use.Now, from here, just go back to their YouTube channel, copy the link of that inspiration channel, and then go back into ChatGPT and just paste in that channel URL right here.
And then you can just hit send.It's going to start doing a bunch of research and analyzing their channel for you.Just let this go, don't interrupt it, just let it run.It'll take a few minutes.And boom, there it is.It took about 2 minutes.It did a full analysis of their channel.And what it did was it essentially found the biggest repeat winners.So, whatever the topics are on their channel that keep performing well, not just the ones that went viral once, but it found all the best topics from their channel that went viral over and over again.You can see the second best topic that they've done is IRL Mario Kart moments because it got 70 million views, and another video they posted of it got 68 million views.So, both times this topic, it absolutely popped off.Same with this one, aura crowd moments, 105 million views, 69 million, and 52 million.
Now, from here, you essentially just need to pick some video topics that you like that performed super super well, and steal them for yourself.Honestly, I could probably just pick anything from this list.I'm just going to go with tattoo fails cuz this one seems kind of funny.
He demonstrates how to turn a chosen topic into a ranking video using Viblo, from setting the title and colors to finding viral clips on TikTok. He also covers naming, styling, and exporting the final video.
So, now that AI has done all the research and found me a winning video topic, I now need to actually go and make the video and edit it.And to do this, I'm going to use this tool right here, viblo.ai.This is a super powerful video editing tool that basically just has all the resources we already need to make ranking videos.So, it makes it very very easy to make these videos.And the other cool thing about Viblo is that it does have a free trial as well.So, you can sign up and start using this for 7 days before you actually have to worry about paying for anything, so that you can just start building your channel right away.Once you're signed into Viblo, you're going to see a dashboard that looks like this.You're just going to click video ranking right here, and just click start ranking.
And right at the top is where you add that video topic that ChatGPT gave us.So, I went with tattoo fails, so I'm going to write that in here.But I'm not just going to drop in the word tattoo fails.I'm going to write something like ranking funniest tattoo fails.But you can see that that looks super ugly on the video editing page because we haven't actually done any of the work we have to do to it yet.Always have your title be in two different lines of text, and you always want to break it up with at least three colors.So, for example, you would have white in there and then two accent colors.That's the perfect way to set up your title.So, for me, I'm just going to split it halfway and have ranking funniest on top and then tattoo fails underneath.
That's my two lines of text.Highlight funniest and then just choose a color for this I'll make it like red.And then I'm going to highlight tattoo and then I'll choose a color for this one, and I'm going to make it kind of like I'll do green or something, something like that.These guys do like red and teal and white.These guys do white and yellow and blue.So, you can kind of do just like a combination of different colors that look together, but I would usually pick a color scheme and then stick to that for all your videos.So, now we've got our viral video topic.We need to actually add the clips that we're going to rank in our video.The best way to do that is to just use TikTok.I'm literally going to go on TikTok and search up my video topic, which in this case is tattoo fails.
And then just search that and we'll see what comes up.As you can see, it found me literally hundreds of good clips that all have like millions of views that I could use.For my first clip, I'm just going to use this one I found.It popped up right away.This video got like 100,000 views, so I know it's a viral video that I'm leveraging to use in my own content.You need to make sure that you're using clips that already went viral on their own.That way you know they're clips that will perform well that other people want to watch.So, once I find a good clip like this, I'm just going to copy the link of that clip and then go back into Viblo and then scroll down to video rank one and just paste in that link andhit send.And just like that, it downloads the clip and adds it into my video for me with no watermarks or anything, and it looks super good.
Now, from here, I'm going to scroll down and give this video a specific title.You'll see in every ranking video, they name each of the clips.That way you know which clip was ranked in which order.I'm just going to call this B tattoo.And I'll usually bold these as well cuz it just looks better.And then the other thing that I do is I give that title a increased stroke right there.So, I turn the stroke up on the title, and then that looks way better.And then from there, if you want to make this video more unique and transformative to you to avoid any issues, you can always add a voiceover, you can do animations, sound effects, all sorts of stuff to make thisreally transformative and unique to you.And then from there, you just move on and add the next clip.
I always rank at least five clips, that's very important.If you rank less than five, the videos typically don't perform well.And then sometimes I'll rank up to like six clips, but really at the end of the day, four to six is the sweet spot.You don't want to rank any less than four and then any more than six.Otherwise, the videos just do not perform well.I've done a ton of research on this and this is what I've found has worked best for me over the last year of making ranking videos.So then from there, once you've added all your different clips to rank, you literally just click generate video ranking and it will export the video.
He emphasizes the importance of posting every day, or even multiple times a day, to maximize views and revenue. The video closes with a recap of the process and encouragement to start creating immediately.
And now that you know how to make viral videos like that in five minutes, you just need to post them extremely consistently and since they're so easy to make, there's no excuse not to post them consistently.You can see in the month of June on this channel, I was literally posting every single day and I got 164 million views in that single month and made over $28,000 from it.Every single one of these little shorts icons you see right here is a post.I literally didn't skip days.I was so consistent with posting and that is why I was going viral and making so much money from these videos.Post once a day minimum and preferably post like two or three times a day if you want to get really good results.And that is literally it.That is the exact process I used to run my own faceless YouTube channels and this has generated me hundreds of thousands of dollars in profit posting these faceless ranking videos.
Based on what I've seen from so many people including myself, if you're just consistent with this, it is entirely possible that a month or two from now you could have a channel getting millions of views a day andgenerating thousands in profit.So go focus, go make some videos and I will see you in the next
