make money with a youtube channel

How This YouTube Shorts Channel Grew to Millions of Views

This is probably the weirdest interview you will ever see, but it truly IS an interview. It just began in email form, and I used my weird style to turn into an AI-driven interview for this video.

Coming up with the LARRY-loves-Chris storyline was contingent upon Chris giving it the OK … I would never do that sort of thing without the subject’s consent.

But it turns out that I think Chris has a sense of humor that is similar to mine, and he seemed really happy with how this video came out!

This was a pretty fun video to make because I got to invent two new AI characters.

My video about tips for faceless YouTube channels is failing so hard!

Just yesterday I posted a video with five tips for creating a successful faceless YouTube channel. But how would I know anything about that? I’ve never made a faceless YouTube channel!

See, that’s the thing about YouTube. You don’t have to know anything. You just present whatever you’re presenting, and hopefully the viewer gets some value from it.

I based my tips on what I’ve learned as a blogger and print-on-demand seller. I’ve learned that being original always beats copying others, that loving your content is more important than how much you think you might make by going with some other niche, and that copying success is a good strategy but only to a certain extent. You have to differentiate yourself in some way.

Yes, you really CAN make money by posting rain videos to YouTube … but there’s a little catch

It might seem hard to believe that you can upload a video to YouTube that’s four, six, even 12 hours long … and all it features is the sound of rain. And maybe a looped video of a rainy forest scene or something.

But before publishing my latest video, I looked into this extensively, and guess what? It IS possible. In fact, there are probably hundreds, or more likely thousands, of YouTube channels that are making money right now from this kind of content.

But if you comb through Google search results long enough, you’ll find various claims that YouTube is demonetizing, or removing ad revenue, from channels that upload looped rain and other sound effects.

So what gives?
