ANECDOTE

Experiment Reupload Sparked Rapid Monetization

  • Alex repurposed successful videos from his first channel to a second faceless channel as an experiment.
  • The fifth upload hit the algorithm and monetized the channel within about 90 days, causing backlog videos to gain views.
INSIGHT

Faceless Equals Intentional Visual Storytelling

  • A faceless channel means expressing ideas visually without relying on your face as the main element.
  • That forces deliberate visual representation for each paragraph and rewards strong editing skills.
ADVICE

Learn Editing Or Start With Simpler Formats

  • Hone editing skills to keep faceless videos engaging and consider simple formats first like voiceover over footage.
  • If editing is a struggle, either learn camera skills or begin with simpler coverage (news, clips) to build reps.
