YouTube shorts are making people tens of thousands of dollars a month and just until recently no one knew how and the crazy thing is they do this without ever showing their face so in this video I'm going to go over how literal teenagers are making thousands of dollars a day posting faceless shorts on YouTube I'll even reveal a viral Niche and show you step by step how to create your first video but first if you're one of those people who think shorts don't pay any money you are absolutely right up until a couple weeks ago
YouTube is starting to increase the RPM meaning the money you get paid for 1,000 views on your videos some people are seeing RPMs as high as 60 to 70 cents Leo that makes noing sense Tik Tok is paying $1 per thousand views I know but here's the thing it's literally 10 times easier to go viral on shorts so get that thought out of your head because there's people out there making over a 100 Grand a month with shorts and if you implement the things I'm about to share with you in this video you'll likely to
be one of them when starting a shorts Channel you first got to find a viral Niche which is something a lot of people people are struggling with so I did the hard work for you and did some heavy research on what's working on shorts right now and I actually found a faceless Niche that's bringing in millions of views with some creators making thousands of dollars per video keep in mind a single video can cost as low as $5 to make and that's if you Outsource the entire process think about it you make a video for
$5 you go viral and that little video has now made you $3,000 it's actually crazy that's more than what people earn working for a whole month so here's the niche pandas have a reputation for being relatively slow-moving animals they spend a significant amount of time these videos literally take no more than 20 minutes to create yourself but before I reveal more information about the niche I first want you to understand how the YouTube shorts algorithm Works before that though I just wanted to take a quick second to mention that I'm working on a very special
opportunity for you guys I'm soon going to take a few of my most loyal subscribers under my wings for a one-on-one coaching opportunity take you from being a legit beginner to earning 10 20 $50,000 per month with YouTube if you want to be one of those few subscribers make sure to sign up to my newsletter by claiming the free YouTube blueprint I'm giving away to everyone I'm going to start writing free weekly emails that are filled with value and thoughts I have about YouTube automation so make sure to join it anyways enough about that I'll
make sure to update every one of you via the newsletter so keep an eye out now back to the algorithm the first thing you got to understand about the shorts algorithm is that going viral has nothing nothing to do with luck YouTube Simply finds the best and most engaging shorts on the platform and shows them to the most people it's not done randomly YouTube always knows a good short when it sees it based on this one metric and if your short has it it's almost guaranteed to go viral the metric I'm talking about is retention
basically how long the viewer stays on your video so if you can just get a high retention your video will blow up however this can be a bit misleading because if retention was the only metric they went after everyone would just post 1 second long videos and get 1,000% retention which is just not the case instead YouTube actually tends to push longer shorts because it keeps the viewer longer on the platform so 100% retention on a 10-second short is not the same as 100% retention on a 60-second short where I'm getting at is the algorithm
prefers longer videos so retention is the most important metric but not the only one how the viewer engages with your video also plays a huge role in whether it goes viral or not you know all the times you've been told to like or comment on a video like this if you are still in the game support me by liking the video it's not because they want to know if you liked the video or not it's simply because it helps the algorithm push the video to more people just letting you know that video got 28 million
views and I'll actually show you how you can implement this yourself and Skyrocket engagement later on in this video but before we get into how to actually create a video there's a few things you got to know about what most gurus won't tell you is that to actually make money from shorts you need to have 1,000 subscribers and 10 million views in the last 90 days which can be a huge obstacle when you're just starting out it takes the average YouTube channel 6 months of consistent posting before they get monetized I've been through this myself
and those first few months when you're essentially working for free can be a real headache so I actually spent some time researching ways to get around this obstacle and came across this website that has premone tized YouTube accounts these are channels that have been grown organically to reach YouTube's requirements so you're essentially making money right away from your first video which can save you a bunch of time but not only that they also have a western audience meaning the RPM is really good I mention these all the time because it's something I use myself that
has proven to work better than expected it's not mandatory to become successful of course not but if you want to start earning money from your first few posts so that you can reinvest the money into more shorts then I definitely recommend it so if you want to make the start a bit easier feel free to check out the link in the description anyway now that you know everything about the algorithm the first thing we got to do is pick a niche and as I mentioned earlier I've actually already done some heavy research on this and
found a niche that has been proven to go viral for months and honestly you've probably already seen one of these videos before it's these generic animal videos with a bunch of clips of cute animals with a voice over here's a little preview if you've never seen it before have an incredibly friendly and sociable personality they are often described as gentle Giants they're actually bringing in millions and millions of views and thousands of in ad Revenue this one for example is currently sitting at 40 million views meaning it brought in anywhere from $4,000 to $8,000 in
ad revenue and if you just follow the steps in this video you'll be able to do the exact same thing so the first and most important step to create a viral short is to find a good topic everything else is completely useless if you ignore this step having an interesting topic is the base of all viral shorts and without it your video won't get any views I want you to imagine the core audience in your Niche what it is that they actually want to see the best way to find out what that is is to
look at the videos in your Niche that are already doing well since these topics have already been proven to go viral just by having this in mind when picking your topic your videos are 10 times more likely to go viral rather than if you came up with the topic yourself so what I like to do is find the biggest channels in the niche which is done by just searching for a couple keywords like animal shorts and then filter their videos by popularity then look through their most viral videos and see what topics are getting the
most views I'd use this method 99% of the time but today is the remaining 1% of times where I won't use it because this time I'm actually a step in front of my competition after spending way too many hours Doom scrolling shorts I've seen this little hippo called moodang literally all over my feet I mean just look at that thing and tell me you don't want to see more of it but aside from this being cute this little hippo is absolutely breaking the algorithm and has become the most famous animal in the world during the
last couple of days everyone is talking about this hippo Zoo visitors ticktockers podcasters and this guy who decided to dress up as a hippo on a news channel and now of course me so we definitely have our viral topic now we need to go from having just an idea to having a video that is ready to be posted I actually researched all of the competitors and strategies they use to create their videos and here's the spell it's not just some random strategy it's a calculated formula designed to make the algorithm push your video to as
many people as possible the same blueprint this channel used to grow their channel to almost 300,000 subscribers and a consistent 10K a month in ad Revenue so let's get to work I said it before but I'll say it again trying to keep your script as short as possible to get a better retention won't get the job done I used to think shorter scripts would get better results which is not true instead take the time to dive deep into the topic and make it at least 150 words long but before you start writing you need to
know how to structure your scripts all viral scripts out there consist of these three very important pillars first is the hook the first 1 to 3 seconds in the beginning of the video the purpose here is to get the viewer curious and give them a bunch of unanswered questions let me give you an example today's national Bring Your Own Cup Day at 7-Eleven let's see if they'll let me fill this up see how those first few moments left you with so many unanswered questions why the hell does he have that huge cup will they let
him fill it that's exactly what we want so for our video I'll do something like this this tiny hippo's Journey from near-death to viral Fame will leave you speechless this will have the exact same effect what happened to it how did it almost die and why will it leave me speechless we've gotten the viewer hooked into our video now we got to make them stay all the way till the end and what better way is there than adding a story adding some kind of story to your shorts makes the viewer watch to see what happens
at the end because all stories are formed in a way where the end rewards the viewer which is just some basic storytelling knowledge now I've only seen a few shorts about Moody mang so all I know is that it's a cute hippo and looking up the entire story of why she's so famous would take forever so I'll just ask Chad PT to give me the entire story of her now take the most entertaining and useful parts of it and turn it into a short story for example it says that moodang was found in a river
in Thailand with a slim chance of surviving we'll let that be the beginning of our story now continue doing this until you've included all the most useful Parts also a little bit of a pro tip from me to you you can make up stuff in the story if it'll make make your shorts perform [Music] [Applause] better right so practically the whole script is done but there's one little thing that's missing and that is the CTA at the end of the script we want to make sure we get that engagement we're looking for and in most
cases you need to tell the viewer what you want them to do just don't do it in some boring way like please press the like button if you enjoyed this video it's boring and annoying instead do in a funny way that's related to the video something like tag your Pooky in the comments who looks like moodang much better so that's that but how can we make the story even better there's actually a very important thing you can add to make the video more authentic and entertaining only hearing One Voice through the entire video is boring
so you can make the content more interesting by adding in other people or memes yep more characters interacting will make the video a lot more interesting and kind of add another level to the content the best way to do this is by finding clips of other people talking about your topic and adding them throughout the video remember the guy who dressed up as a hippo I'm going to use him in the video you'll see for yourself it's going to be a GameChanger but more on that later when I get into the editing just make sure
that you count this addition when writing the script so you add it in a segment where it actually makes sense if you add a random clip at any random time without actually making it work with the script it's going to ruin the video's flow anyways it's time to move on to the next step The Voice voice over doing the voiceover yourself for adding the second person would be a good choice but most of you probably want to go with the second option using AI the one I use is called 11 labs in my opinion they
have the most realistic voices and a bunch of useful features once you've created an account you want to click on voices and head over to the voice Library here you'll have thousands of voices to choose from but to make it easier you can even add gender age and accent once you found a voice you like click on ADD and you'll be able to use it for your own script now go to the left click on text to speech and paste your script into this box but before you hit generate we can make it even better
by adding commas capital letters and exclamation marks to add different tones and emotions then generate it a couple of times until you get a result you like this tiny hippo's Journey from near-death to viral Fame will leave you speechless sounds good now before we get into the actual editing we need the footage of moodang that will be shown throughout the video obviously we can't can't record the footage ourselves so we need to get it somewhere else I've noticed the best strategy is to find it on Tik Tok what you want to do is search for
the topic of your video in this case moodang and use these videos as your visuals you'll get unlimited videos being suggested of moodang so just find the best ones that don't have any editing or too much text on them you can also look at which Clips actually already have tons of views on Tik Tok as it's likely they'll perform well on YouTube as well that way you'll only use clips that have been proven to go viral just make sure sure you actually have permission to use the clips of course otherwise the Creator that posted on
Tik Tok can actually strike your video on YouTube and imagine you're on a roll getting like 10 million views which is very likely and then some random person strikes your content it's not a good time let me tell you that much anyways once you've collected the visuals we need to edit it all together don't over complicate this editing for shorts is not that important you don't have to have perfect editing like me cuz the truth is nobody cares so since we're not going to do anything crazy you really don't need any fancy editing software like
Adobe Premiere Pro or Adobe After Effects I'll use cap cut which costs $0 to use by the way capcut is also available as a web app so it's really easy to access when you're on the website and you're signed in the first thing you want to do is click on this button and create a new project now upload the voice over from 11 labs and drag it to the timeline select the razor tool and start cutting out the silent Moments by making two cuts like this and delete the clip in the middle this will give
it a higher pace and better retention since you're actually cutting out the parts where the AI might have made a mistake or whatever it just makes it better if you want an even higher Pace though try overlapping the clips with just a few frames this is called a jcut and is used by some of the biggest creators in the world So based on how you feel the pace has to be adjusted you just want to repeat this process on the entire voiceover when you've worked through the entire thing make sure to listen if it sounds
natural or not as I said a a i voices tend to sound a bit robotic with those weirdly long pauses so doing this can make a really huge difference just listen to the difference that I got this tiny hippo's Journey from near-death to viral Fame will leave you speechless mooding has gone absolutely viral all over the world now you want to click on the blue button once again and upload the footage drag the footage over the voice over until you've covered the entire thing with visuals remember how I told you earlier to include another character
add these clips in the middle of the video to keep the viewer engaged just make sure you don't have the same thing being shown on the screen for too long I've actually studied some of the most viral videos in this Niche and none of them keep the same clip on the screen for more than 3 seconds this consistent variation will give the video a higher Pace while making it a lot more engaging to look at once you've added enough Clips watch it through to make sure everything looks good the next step is probably one of
the most important ones I promise you won't find a viral short without this one look at this Channel's most viral videos and see if you can figure out what all of them have in common they all have captions it literally takes no more than a minute to do and increases retention a lot so do not skip this step but not only that it's a way to Brand your channel and stand out from the competition to add these you want to click on captions in the top left choose your language and hit generate cap cut will
autot transcribe the entire voice over and create a caption track from it but this plain boring style won't get us far so we need to spice it up a little with the template cap cut actually has hundreds of pre-made animations for you to choose from you can access them by going to the right and clicking on this button that says templates I always recommend going with a higher paste animation when creating shorts something that shows one to two words at a time like this one when you found one you like click on it and it'll
automatically be added to the entire caption track but to really make it unique to your channel you need to customize it even more click on basic and start playing around with fonts colors and sizes until you have something that's truly branded to your channel now the final touch to it is to add some music if you feel like it you can go with a trending sound but instead i' like to find something truly customized to my video since I have absolutely no Talent when it comes to music I'll let AI do the job for me
head over to chat GPT and ask it to give you music suggestions for the video You're creating hit generate and it'll give you a list of music genres to choose from now to actually find these songs you want to use some kind of copyright free music website like pixabay so head over there type in the music genre and pick a song you like once you found one hit download and add it to the timeline and cap cut just don't make it too loud that can literally ruin the entire thing so go to this bar to
the right and adjust the volume there's actually a way in which you can double your RPM with a secret music hack I've been experimenting with lately I've never heard anyone talk about it here on YouTube so let me know in the comments if you want me to create a video on it this is where most people will tell you to export the video but I think we can make it even better personally I think the colors look really plain and boring so we need to add some colors to it to make it look more appealing
to the viewer one way to fix this is to add an adjustment layer drag it on top of the other layers and extend it so it covers the entire video you can use this layer to change the look of all the layers underneath so let's say you adjust the colors of the adjustment layer it'll change the look of the clips underneath it it's really as simple as that if you want to change the colors just go to the right and you'll be able to adjust them there's really no right way to do this so just
play around and find what works for your video the goal is to make it more colorful and fun to look at you can add some extra temperature saturation and exposure just don't make it too much and that's really all the editing you got to do now we have to export it so we have the video as a file on our computer to do this you want to click on this button in the top right and Export the video set the resolution to 1080 and the frame rate to 60 to get the best possible quality this
tiny hippo's Journey from Near Death to viral Fame will leave you speechless mooding has gone absolutely viral all over the world now post the video onto your shorts Channel but more importantly stick to a consistent posting schedule it'll take some time for the algorithm to pick up your videos so if the first video doesn't blow up right away doesn't mean it's not good you need to give the algorithm time to find your audience and if you don't want to take my word for it take Mr BEAST's is make 100 videos and improve something every time
and then on your1 video we'll start talking like maybe you can get some views you heard him 100 videos but the difference is you already have the winning formula used by the most successful channels in the world so chances are it'll go much faster than 100 videos there's really so much more outside of the video creation that goes into running a successful YouTube automation Channel that I can't fit into these YouTube videos so for those of you who want to know more about how to find viral niches mon Iz ation strategies and a lot more
