The TRUTH About YouTube Automation and Faceless Channels

"I made a completely new channel, zero subscribers, zero viewers. I posted a video; it had 100 views. The second video had half a million views in two weeks... and made about $5,000."

That is the miraculous testimony of seven-figure-earning YouTuber David Omari.

Unlike the rest, what makes his case a lot more interesting is that he never appeared in any of these videos but still takes credit for the successes and the million-dollar earnings of these videos.

David Omari is not a criminal,

He is a faceless and automated content creator.

What is a Faceless YouTube Automated Channel?

A faceless YouTube automated channel is one where the handler doesn't have to show their faces on the videos - simple 😇

As an automated YouTuber, you primarily work as a video producer. You are responsible for recruiting and harmonizing other parts of the video production team, like the scriptwriters, video editors, and thumbnail artists.

Omari describes YouTube Automation as "delegating and outsourcing the whole video-making process."

After spending the last 5 hours watching Omari's interviews on the YouTube automation process, here are quick tips on how to grow your faceless channel as a beginner.

How to become as big as David Omari in the Faceless YouTube Game

  • Read the YouTube guidelines because you certainly don't want to get demonetized. Go through everything verbatim. It's the most trivial, but yet the most expensive point.

  • Source for relevant topics. It's 2023, and nobody would want to hear about the Coronavirus at this point. A quick hack is to explore niches with low subscribers but very high views. You can also use Google Trends and search engines to get the most influential topics.

  • Start with broad contents and gradually move into the wider Ocean. Through this, you will properly identify your viewers on the platform and understand what they want.

  • Imitate your competitors. After pitching your tent on a particular niche, minimize your ego According to Omari;

"When you have a competitor on a platform, you have a blueprint... all you have to do is make better content."

However, avoid any form of plagiarism. You won't want to be dealing with copyright issues this early.

  • Maintain the balance between automation and realism. Although the goal is to keep the YouTube channel faceless, an excessive lack of human interaction becomes detrimental.

  • Makeyour recruitment only based on merit. Your goal should be building a high-quality team. Ask for samples no matter the nature of the job, and eliminate all kinds of sentiments. Your emotions will not get the job done.

🤖 AI Spotlight

ChatGPT Voice: Free for All and Works with iPhone Action Button

ChatGPT Voice was previously available for paid users, but now it’s free for everyone. It’s a feature that lets you chat with the AI assistant with your voice.

You can tap the headphone icon on the app and ask questions or commands to hear its answers in a natural voice.

One way to use ChatGPT Voice is with the Action Button on the iPhone 15 Pro models. This is a new button that can do different things, such as opening the camera or flashlight.

You can set the Action Button to launch ChatGPT Voice through the Shortcuts app and start a voice chat with the assistant. You’ll be able to choose from five different voices currently available.

Amazon Launches Q, a ChatGPT-like for Workplace

Amazon announced a new AI chatbot called Q, which can answer questions in natural language and learn from human feedback.

Q is powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and can be integrated with various applications and platforms. It’s geared towards AWS users like business analysts, coders, and IT administrators.

Q is currently in preview mode and is available for select customers, after which will cost $20 - $25 per person per month.

Google Bard Gets Smarter for YouTube Videos

Google has updated its Bard AI chatbot with a deeper integration with YouTube, which allows you to ask questions about the content of YouTube videos.

This feature is part of the Bard Extensions, which were introduced earlier this year to connect Bard with various Google products and services.

With the YouTube Extension turned on, you can paste a YouTube video link and request a summary of the video or ask more specific questions about the details of the video, such as the location of a place, the ingredients of a recipe, and more.

It can also summarize key topics from video comments, and it’s available to all regions. To enable the extension, you should tap on the puzzle icon in the top right corner of the Bard homepage and toggle on the YouTube option.
