1,265 YouTube Subs in 10 Days on a New “Faceless” Channel
Following a 15-year-olds’ advice.
I recently watched a YouTube video that will forever change how I create content on my channels.
It was an interview with a 15-year-old named Sam, who has 1.23 million subscribers and 270 million views on his YouTube channel.
The channel was not shared in the interview to prevent “copycats” (which, as you’ll see in a moment, is a bit ironic.)
But, after following his advice for 10 days, I was able to attract 1,265 subscribers to my brand-new “faceless” YouTube channel.
Before I tell you exactly what I did, I should mention that this is not my first YouTube rodeo.
I‘ve been building faceless channels for years — so I’m already familiar with the process of making videos.
However, this method could work for anyone who wants to grow their audience on any platform (YouTube, TikTok, X, Medium, KDP, etc.)
Here’s the strategy I followed.
1. What’s Already Getting Views?
Before you start creating videos (or any type of content), you need a concept.
Many people (myself included) tend to look inward for ideas. We think about what we want to watch, read, or create.
This is fine if your primary goal is to express yourself creatively or document something for posterity's sake.
