Full write-up & sources
More detail: AI writes the scripts and does the voiceover, while a human editor and a thumbnail designer handle the visuals, at about $40 to $60 per video. He picked the niche because competition was low and the audience is 50 to 65 years old: 52.7% of views come from TV screens, and lifetime RPM sits just under $7.
Results: He reports about $600 in month one, $9,949 in month two, $15,575 in month three with a record day of $1,732, and over $40,000 in the first six months. The video has 5,708 views (YouTube, Oct 17, 2026). He also sells coaching for faceless channels.
Worth knowing: One breakout video can carry a new channel past monetization.
