I Tried Building a Faceless YouTube Channel for 286 Days...Here's What Happened

Like you, I've heard all the success stories related to building a Faceless Youtube channel.

So, I decided to build a "no face" Youtube channel! In this video, I'll share exactly what happened with my channel.

In fact, I'll reveal the channel itself!

Watch the video to experience the ups and downs of this 286 day journey trying to make money from Youtube.

How much money did the channel make?
How much did I spend to outsource the creation of the videos?

One of our videos on this faceless youtube channel now has over 1.4 million views and I'll share this exact video with you.

I also reveal several faceless youtube channels that are doing REALLY well, including a couple that are certainly making more than $1 million a year.

Along with the good, I'll share some of the pitfalls we experienced; including a copyright claim on our most popular video.

I'll also share some of the strategies that I feel like could have made our channel better, and what I would recommend if you decide to build a faceless youtube channel.

Want to follow along with my other "niche pursuits"?

I have been at it for 6 years now as a faceless channel. It isn’t easy. Those telling you it is easy are lying to you.

[JoshVenables]

Thanks for letting us know the outcome! I've always been curious about these types of channels.

[NeilUttamsingh]

Your case studies are awesome Spencer. Thank you!

[yanick]

Succeeding springs from our failures! This video is truly invaluable, far surpassing the multitude of misleading, shortcut-promising videos peddled by other channels.

I wish I had watched this video before starting my own faceless YouTube channel! These tips are so helpful and would have saved me so much time and trial-and-error. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience, it's never too late to learn and improve as a content creator (Recently, I discovered that using a little bit of Famester also helps massively for getting more views and growing my channel even more). Keep up the great work!

I love that you own up to your mistakes, now I am praying for your success!!!

Knock Knock...Great work Spencer, amazing and informative video as always! Most people only talk about their successful pursuits, and then there is Spencer!

[elizabethho]

Wow, love the transparency here Spencer! Looking forward to more updates on your second channel 😅

[PilarNewman]

I'm digging your videos Spencer. Super informative! Thank you!

thank you for not blurring the end, i see you save the good stuff for last

[shiperbass]

Spencer, your b-rolls acting is next level!!! Lol loving your contents for 2 years now. One day, I will get to email you of my success story 😊🙏🏻 Merry Christmas!

[EasySewingBeginners]

Loved the video! I first started with Long Tail Pro in 2012 and my online ventures went from there. I haven’t found a quick way of making tons of money online. It took me 6 or so years to start earning good money from my YouTube channel so don’t give up just yet!

[creatornerds]

LOL Great video! The key takeaway for me is that any kind of channel you need to be hyper aware of things like copyrights and trademarks. IT's just not worth dabbling there unless you really know what you're doing.

[Ghost-Ghost-Ghost]

Thanks for the honest recap. Movie niche has always seemed difficult to me with low RPMs and constant copyright concerns. Best of luck with the next!

[ElectricWheelers]

Great video, Spencer! I like your sence of humor 😅

[thesoundsession]

Love the new style videos Spencer. Really the only faceless YT worth doing is product reviews. I sold a faceless YT channel for 6 figures which I started in 2018 and sold in 2022. It has to have an affiliate angle imo

[sherules]

Its great to know the opportunity and possible threat of the faceless channel. Thanks

[PLUNDERTrueCrime]

Thanks for this honest and informing video about faceless channels, because I'm interested in creating more of them that stay monetized.

[endlessfun]

Thank you. I'm starting a youtube channel. This proves that with good content you can be successful.

[hayleygordon]

I gotta laugh, the instant you said the channel topic I knew you’d get shut down for copyright. I’m surprised you went forward with that topic
