it is a myth that you need to be monetized in order to start making money as a faceless Channel on YouTube the truth is that in 20125 anyone can start making money on YouTube even with zero subscribers just by following these five methods and don't worry this is not clickbait I have used several of these methods myself with decent success and I personally know faceless YouTubers who are making a lot of money using these methods I just want to pass on the knowledge to help you support your small Channel while you're growing without having to
rely only on AdSense and without making the same mistakes that I did now I'm going to talk about how you can get started with each of these methods and to make things even easier I am going to date each of these methods on two factors one how easy it is to execute and two how much money you can realistically make from them on a simple scale of 1 to 5 the first rule of making money on YouTube is this you can earn even with a very small audience if you have something to sell and this
is why affiliate marketing continues to be a top reliable income choice for faceless channels in 2025 this is where you promote other people's products and services via links in your description and earn a commission every time somebody purchases through your unique link now before you roll your eyes and decide to skip this part of the video because you've heard about affiliate marketing a 100 times I can bet that you did not know about this faceless creators are now moving away from physical products and services and actually leaning towards becoming Affiliates for online softwares and tools
take digital scholar for example in one of his videos on building websites he promoted 10 web which is a website builder and conveniently placed his affiliate Link in the description AI apocalypse showed viewers how to create faceless videos using canva and included an affiliate Link in the description AI Genesis did the same with cap Cut Pro a lot of creators are now doing this with invid but why exactly is everyone suddenly so interested in promoting software well because firstly software tools are not bound by a geographical barrier depending on the use case they can be
used by someone in the US and someone in the Philippines at the same time whether it's video editing tools or website Builders or social media management tools they have become essential across various different Industries secondly software tools offer higher commissions because most of these companies are funded they have budgets to spend on marketing so even if you sell a few subscriptions or licenses you can still bring in significant Revenue plus almost every software has an affiliate program which makes the entire process super simple just go ahead search for the software that you want to promote
on Google add affiliate program to your search query for example you can search for invid affiliate program click on the link add the necessary information and you will receive your unique affiliate link that you can push out in your YouTube videos and earn commission now this does not mean that you should always promote software and never recommend anything else you can still go ahead and have your Amazon Affiliates and you know click store 24 affiliate programs the products and the services that you are promoting need to align with the video that you are creating but
one thing to keep in mind as a small faceless Channel especially if making money is your top priority is that your best bet would be to focus on high ticket items which are products and services that give you a higher commission per sale you can find these products and services on platforms like the store 24 and when you have high ticket items this means that even with fewer sales you can make decent Revenue we've already made an in-depth video on this topic so make sure you go check that out after and a pro tip for
you before you get do affiliate marketing is to actually break your videos whatever video You're creating for the affiliate Link Break that video into smaller short clips and share them on YouTube shorts on Instagram on Tik Tok and also share your affiliate links there and then you can earn money through multiple different platforms rather than just relying on one coming to the ratings I would give it five stars for ease of execution because finding affiliate products is super simple and you just need to add a link and you're just about done and I would also
give it five stars for its money making potential because once the orders start rolling in you can continue making money from the same link for years on end now what is more profitable than affiliate marketing if you have something to sell is to sell your own digital product the beauty of digital products is that they come with very little overhead costs so you don't have to spend a dime on shipping or packaging inventory stuff like that plus you make a lot more money than affiliate products because you're not just relying on commission you are getting
the entirety of the sale amount you also don't need a massive audience to make it profitable even with little to no subscribers you can create products that offer immediate value to people looking for Niche Solutions it's all about understanding what your viewers need and then offering a solution that they're willing to pay for for example creators are making solid Revenue selling eBooks workout guides recipe books self-help journals digital planners things like that 10x income is a great example of this he successfully sells his ebooks and is making a lot of money there and the good
thing about digital products is that they're a lot easier to create than you would otherwise think so with tools like canva for example or nid you can design professional looking products and then you can use platforms like Wix Quest space Shopify to host and sell your products directly you can also sign up to platforms like Etsy and Amazon KDP to sell your products but they will take a commission for every sale so that's something to keep in mind now how much can you realistically make by selling digital product most such products like ebooks you know
digital journals Etc are priced between $5 to $30 or $10 to $30 so let's say that you sell 20 items in a month that's anywhere from $200 to $600 a month this might not sound like a lot of money but initially when you're starting out it can easily cover the cost of running your faceless YouTube channel and once you create these products you can sell them over and over again and over time these sales compound without any additional effort now coming to the readings I'd give it three stars for ease of execution because creating a
high quality product does take time and effort it also gets three stars for its money- making potential because you do need volume sales to make a substantial income now if teaching is something that excites you and you are eager to share your knowledge with the world then selling online courses can be a fantastic option for you as opposed to affiliate marketing or digital product even small channels can use this method very easily very well because selling courses is not about the size of your audience it's about the value that you provide if you have a
clear solution to a very specific problem even a small audience will be willing to invest in your ca pay for your ca and that way you end up making money by creating a Course once and then selling it again and again so channels like how to aai and digital income project are already selling courses on starting faceless channels and they are making a lot of profit from it then there is charisma on command which offers a course on becoming more charismatic and confident even alux a luxury focused faceless channel has ventured into selling courses AI
Genesis is also planning to launch his own course where he'll teach others how to build successful faceless channels just like his the great thing is that you don't need a million subscribers to start and laun launch a course a lot of people start even before they have a YouTube channel if you look at digital income project and how to AI they are relatively new within a year they've launched their course and they're selling it and they are already generating revenue from it so as long as you have the knowledge and the experience to help your
audience achieve something that they want faster you are ready to create and sell a course if you want to do everything from scratch you can use platforms like kajabi teachable thinkific they're great for doing this they let you build a website upload video lectures create PDFs all of that Jazz but if that's too complex or if you're just starting out and it's too much time investment and too technical you can start by giving live video lectures on video platforms this way you don't need any course building software you can also sell your video lectures and
courses on marketplaces like skillshare or udemy Improvement pill for example offers a storytelling course on skillshare just keep in mind that marketplaces no matter what you're doing will take a significant commission and they don't share your students data and email addresses with you so that's something that you need to keep in mind now 99% of people will never profit from online courses because they offer surface level information that is just easily available on Google on YouTube and now with the admin of AI it's even more easily available so if you really want to succeed and
if you really want your course to sell you need to go deeper you need to pack it with real world information with actual experience and proven strategies authenticity is what is going to set you apart in this space as for the ratings I'm going to give online courses one star for the EAS of EX execution because they are very very time intensive but the earning potential is a solid five stars because they can bring in thousands of dollars in Revenue if they deliver genuine value now if you want to take this method the coaching method
to the next level you can consider offering one onone coaching sessions to your audience the biggest advantage of coaching over online courses is personalization because with courses you cannot address individual need coaching however allows you to connect directly with your subscribers through video meetings calls Etc you you can easily understand their specific challenges and provide tailored advice one disadvantage of coaching over courses is that coaching is not necessarily scalable so there is a cap on the amount of money you can make but even then it is a great way to start making money as a
faceless Channel on YouTube Take Incognito CEO for example he's a self-improvement channel and currently offers free one-on-one coaching sessions but I'm pretty sure that once he gains more experience and confidence he's likely to start charging for those sessions the earning potential is also so massive because you can start by charging anywhere between $100 to $500 per hour and as you grow your reputation grows you establish yourself as an expert you can significantly increase your rates one-on-one coaching rates can go up to $2,000 an hour and that's insane but it is understandable that coaching is not
everybody's cup of tea because you do require a host of different skills to be able to do this successfully so only dive into this if you have skills like problem solving strong communication and the ability to provide acction able Solutions but if you do have the skills starting your coaching business is fairly simple all you need is a one-page website and a contact form where people can get in touch with you and a payment portal from where you can receive payments from these people so something like stripe or razor pay that you can easily set
up and collect payments from and then you promote your coaching services in your YouTube videos initially to build credibility to build a client base you should do outbound lead generation as well which is where you reach out to small business owners YouTubers whoever Falls in this category that can receive online coaching from you reach out to them offer your coaching Services build your client base from there as well as opposed to just relying on YouTube videos and links to get you there a pro tip is that if you lack credibility or testimonials offer free sessions
initially in exchange for good testimonials just like Incognito CEO and that helps you build your credibility a lot more faster now coming to the rating this method gets four stars for E of execution It's relatively easy to set up and you can take coaching calls from anywhere often a single session is enough to provide clients with a clear actionable plan and to make you enough money it also gets forars for its earning potential because you can charge premium rates for your expertise but it's not scalable so there is a cap on the amount of money
that you can make from it now if you have already built a small Audience by this time if you've been doing all of these methods or one of these methods you will gain a substantial audience and once you do that creating a paid Community would be your next big step step in 2025 faceless channels that focus on building strong communities will Thrive because things are becoming increasingly digitized and people are willing to pay for real connection and real world feedback paid communities are a fantastic way to deepen those connections while generating steady income the idea
is simple your audience pays a small fee to join in an exclusive Community where they receive added value and perks such as access to private Discord or slack groups Early Access to videos and announcements member only content behind the scenes insights personalized advice feedbacks q&as things like that paid communities actually shift the focus from producing endless exclusive content like it usually happens in memberships to creating a shared space for Meaningful interaction this is particularly effective for faceless creators because the emphasis is on engagement not on visibility for example you could set up a single tier
Community priced at somewhere between 5 to $15 a month where members get access to a private group on a platform like Discord Circle Facebook Etc and here you share insights or moderate discussions and host events like q&as or virtual meetups now that you understand what a PA Community does how do you exactly set one up use platforms that are designed for communities so tools like Circle Discord slack these are perfect for creating spaces where your audience can not only interact with you but also with each other and many of these platforms integrate with patreon or
another platform called buy me a coffee so you can easily manage payments as well you can then either sell a recurring member ship patreon works great for ongoing communities where members subscribe monthly many faceless channels like v101 space J Wisdom the truth is top cars TV all of them use this approach very effectively and they offer exclusive Discord Community Access as a membership B and once your channel is monetized you can also use the YouTube memberships feature because that allows you to do everything on one platform allog together just keep in mind that memberships require
additional effort you will need to offer exclusive content that your audience cannot find elsewhere or for free but if a monthly subscription feels like too big of a commitment right now you can also offer lifetime access to your community for a onetime fee so you can use platforms like gumroad or buy me a coffee or Kofi and just set up a onetime payment and people can pay this amount and become part of your community now ai profit Mentor which is a newly launched faceless channel is already using this strategy he promotes access to his private
Community via buy me your coffee supporters pay for access to his exclusive group where they can connect with him ask him questions about Ai and subscribers happily pay for access to this exclusive group group where they can connect with him and ask him questions about AI tools and workflows now how much money can you make from bit communities most communities are priced between $3 to $15 a month or depending on the value that they're providing the onetime ones will be slightly higher so let's say in the beginning you start with 10 to 15 members joining
a middle tier subscription at $10 a month you end up making about $1 to $150 even as you start but keep in mind that this requires consistent effort to become successful and profitable but the good thing is that as your channel grows so does your paid community and that increases profits over time one pro tip here give regular shoutouts to people who do subscribe to become members at the start and end of your videos and this makes your existing members feel special and also encourages other people to join coming to the datings I would give
this uh three stars for ease of execution it's fairly easy to set up but does take consistent commitment and two stars for its money-making potential because you do need to practice this at scale to make a lot of money now whether it's products online courses coaching the real secret to success on YouTube especially as a faceless Channel lies in creating something that genuinely adds value to people's lives that is how you build a lasting community and an evergreen income Source these communities thrive on the trust and credibility that you build through your YouTube channel without
that everything falls apart that's why in addition to focusing on these revenue streams you also need to focus on growing your YouTube channel and connecting with your viewers on a deeper level but the problem is that YouTube is constantly evolving and to stay ahead you need to adapt to the changes in the algorithm but how do you know what works and what doesn't in 2025 don't worry I have done all of the heavy lifting for you and analyzed over 500 plus faceless channels to uncover actionable strategies that will help you break the algorithm and grow
faster than ever before everything is covered in this video so I highly recommend that you go check it out next and I am going to see you very very soon in the next one bye-bye
