1The $0 Ops stack for faceless channels.
No money. No team. No excuses.

This is the exact solo-stack I’d build today to go from 0 → 10K subs with $0 spent and no editor on call.

I call it: Lean YouTube OS.

Let’s break it.🧵👇 1. Idea Machine

Most people wait for “good ideas.”
I don’t.

3x per week, I scrape:
→ Trending tab
→ Popular videos
→ Reddit top posts
→ Comment sections of viral vids
→ Related channels (using vidIQ/free tools)

Everything goes into Notion or Google Sheets with: → Format
→ Hook
→ CTA
→ Title sketch
→ Thumbnail seed

Goal: 20 “ready-to-execute” ideas per week
No inspiration. Just input → system → output.

How I find profitable YouTube niches (that actually scale) 🧵👇 1. Stop asking “what’s a good niche?”

Start asking:
“Where are small channels accidentally going viral?”

When a normie uploads a slideshow and it hits 2M views, that’s a broken system you can rebuild stronger.

Low-effort content + high retention = automation gold.

Search strings lead you straight to undervalued formats.

Everyone’s selling courses on how to start a faceless YouTube channel but 90% of them don’t tell you what actual tools people are using to run banger channels with a $0 budget in 2025.

Here’s the full stack. Learn it. Use it. Print money.
🧵👇 1. Content Research

You need instincts.
→ Open YouTube in incognito mode. No algorithm bias. Just raw, trending results.
→ Search keywords in your niche. Study the top 3 videos for each term. Look at titles, thumbnails, and baits.

→ Go to big channels → sort by “Most Popular.” Find patterns. Find topics that hit again and again.

→ r/AskReddit, sorted by “Rising.”
If you're running a storytime channel, that subreddit is literally your scriptwriter.

Final move:
→ Find 3-5 channels in your niche (ideally 50K–200K subs).

They’re small enough to experiment but big enough to be on the money.

Reverse-engineer everything they do. Posting schedule, format, title formulas, edit style, voice tone, everything.

Yes, our attention span is fried.

At this point, your script needs to hit like cocaine

Your audience has TikTok brain

Here is a checklist for your scripts 🧵👇 1. COLD OPEN

Skip intros. Drop the viewer in mid-crisis. Make them feel like they missed the beginning but they’re dying to catch up.

Tactics:

Start with a confrontation, secret, disappearance, or outcome

Use a line that demands explanation

Optional Add-on:

Tease future tension with: “And what happened next changed everything.”

How to build a faceless channel thermonuke

while everyone else cries about burnout🧵👇 Step 1: Stop being a one-man prisoner. Build a mini assembly line.

If you're doing everything yourself after 90 days,
you're already f*cked.

You need roles, delegation:

Script researcher
Writer (or yourself + AI hybrid)
Voiceover
Editor
Thumbnail designer
Uploader

It’s a mini team.
Not a "hire 10 employees" team
You only make decisions. Others do the work.

Most of you are posting absolute garbage and wondering why nobody watches.

There are standards set by people who are putting out crazy content, here's how to do it yourself.👇🧵 If you wouldn’t even watch your own video to the end
DELETE IT.

Nobody else will either.

If your intro sucks,
pacing is slow,
topic is bland.

5 exact AI stories niche script formulas that broke 1M views on automation channels 🧵👇 FORMULA 1: "Timeline Descent"

(a.k.a. Make it worse and worse until they can’t look away)

Structure:
Start at the "normal" point (life is good)
Introduce the first fall (small loss)
Stack the falls (things keep getting worse)
Reach a “no way it can get worse” moment
THEN drop the final, unexpected gut punch

Why it works:
It chains negative dopamine (fear, disbelief, curiosity).
Viewers need to see how bad it gets.

People are more addicted to downfall than success stories.

Content velocity depends on your audiences' viewing patterns.

Here's how viewing patterns secretly control your success (and how to weaponize it): 🧠👇 Content velocity isn't about "posting a lot."

It's about matching how fast your audience wants and expects to consume.

Mismatch = invisibility.

Your audience is either HUNGRY or FULL.

You better know which one.

Idk who needs to hear this but DON'T USE THE SAME ADSENSE ON DIFFERENT NEW CHANNELS IF ONE GOT COPYRIGHTED.

3+ automation channels get nuked simultaneously because of this rookie mistake.

Here's what YouTube doesn't tell you:
🧵👇 1/ YouTube treats copyright strikes as account-level issues, not just channel-level.

When one channel gets hit with a copyright strike, YouTube's system flags your entire AdSense account for review.

This puts ALL connected channels under microscope.

The average YouTube TV viewer watches 3-4x LONGER than mobile viewers, with 30% higher ad completion rates and CPMs of $15-25 (vs $2-7 on mobile).

They're also more likely to subscribe.

Yet 97% of you are still optimizing for mobile🧵👇 Technical Specifications for TV-Optimized Content

Resolution Requirements

4K (3840×2160): Absolute minimum for TV-optimized content in 2025

HDR10 or HDR10+: YouTube's algorithm heavily favors HDR content for TV

60fps: Essential for smooth playback on large screens
High bitrate: Aim for 35-45 Mbps for 4K footage

Aspect Ratio Considerations

16:9 (traditional): Still performs best for TV

Avoid vertical video entirely: TV algorithms specifically demote vertical content

Safe zones: Keep important visual elements within 90% of the frame edges for older TVs

Most “AI Story” scripts are garbage.

They sound like they were written by a confused alien who binged Reddit for 6 minutes and called it a day.

Let’s break down the REAL strategy behind AI-written story channels that actually hold attention.🧵👇 People don’t click your video for a “story.”

They click because they’re craving a scenario they can’t stop thinking about.

Your prompt should trigger:

Jealousy
Revenge fantasies
Forbidden secrets
“What would I do?” curiosity

You’re not writing fiction. You’re creating emotional traps.

LLMs are your tool. But YOU are the architect of the spiral.

The truth about scriptwriting for TRUE CRIME channels

We’re talking what really works if you want your true crime content to keep people watching for 20+ minutes straight. 🧵👇 1. Your viewer isn’t here for the crime, they’re here for the mind

Facts are everywhere.

But your viewer wants to understand how someone becomes a monster.

This means your script needs to explore:
Behavioral patterns
Psychological escalation
Victim-offender dynamics
Subtle warning signs

Your script is half investigation, half character study.

Don’t just ask what happened. Ask why it escalated the way it did.

Most YouTube scriptwriting advice is surface-level nonsense.

“Just write engaging scripts.”
“Use storytelling.”
“Hook in the first 30 seconds.”

Yeah, no kidding. 🧵👇 1
Most beginner writers write to be read, not to be heard.

But YouTube scripts are meant to be performed.

Use short sentences.
Speak in bursts, like a real conversation.
Add breathing room for the voiceover.
And for the love of retention, cut bullshit

Write for ears, not eyes.

The $0 to $1K gameplan

Here’s how I’d restart from scratch today🧵👇 Step 1: Don’t Pick a Niche.
Pick a Format with a Built-In Hook.

You don’t go viral by saying “I do tech.”

You go viral by saying:
“Every video starts with a shocking AI stat... and ends with a plot twist.”

📌 Format > Niche.

Nail the experience, not the topic.
