Summary of non-guru explains how to print with yt shorts automation

The video provides a detailed, practical guide on how to create and scale faceless YouTube Shorts channels using automation, emphasizing transparency by sharing real earnings from multiple accounts. The creator debunks common “guru” myths about faceless automation being effortless and fully passive, showing actual analytics and revenue figures from channels ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of subscribers, including near-monetized accounts with millions of views.

Key Technological Concepts and Product Features:

YouTube Shorts Automation: Focus on creating faceless, automated Shorts content that can be outsourced and scaled.
Monetization Breakdown:
- YouTube Shorts: Requires 10 million views in 90 days and 1,000 subscribers; pays around $0.30 per 1,000 views, increasing to $0.50 with music sponsorships.
- TikTok: Requires 10,000 followers and 100,000 views; initial payout around $1 per 1,000 qualified views but highly unstable.
- Snapchat: Requires 50,000 followers; monetization model changing in 2025.
- Facebook: Less successful experience but worth reposting content.
- Instagram: No direct monetization for faceless accounts but useful for affiliate marketing.
Cross-Platform Posting Automation: Uses a software tool (linked in the description) to repost YouTube Shorts content automatically to TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook to maximize reach and revenue.

Niche Selection Guide:

Must consistently get 100,000+ views per Short.
Content should be cheap and automatable (outsourcable without personal involvement).
Videos should be improvable (better retention or engagement than competitors).
Should have a barrier to entry (requires some skill, money, or AI tools).
Content must be original and transformative, not just copied.
Optional factors include long-form content viability, high RPM niches, enterprise value, and product monetization potential.

Content Creation Tools and Workflow:

Example niche: AI-generated videos (e.g., fake talent show reactions using MidJourney and other AI tools).
Editing software: CapCut recommended for video editing.
Start by creating videos yourself to understand the process.
Upload on aged YouTube accounts to avoid bot detection.
Grant editor permissions to outsourced editors via YouTube’s channel permissions feature to allow them to upload content without full account access.

Outsourcing Strategy:

Use a Discord community for video editors to find reliable freelancers.
Request paid editing work with clear instructions and samples.
Test editors with samples before scaling.
Outsourcing allows scaling multiple channels and building an “empire” of automated Shorts channels.

Monetization and Scaling:

Focus on YouTube Shorts for stable revenue.
Supplement income with music sponsorships.
Repost to other platforms to diversify income streams.
Scale by replicating the successful formula on new channels.
