Make 25K/year on YouTube without showing your face

With this simple side hustle let me show you how to make 25K/year on YouTube without showing your face.

Now there are a lot of ways to make more money:

  • Work overtime at your job
  • Get a second job
  • Start a side hustle

Sadly, these aren’t the best or most effective ways to make more money.

Let me share 5 steps anyone (yes, even you) can follow To make an extra $25k/year by building a YouTube channel.

1. Select a profitable niche.

Profitable niches allow for more:

  • ad revenue
  • brand deals
  • affiliate offers

Plus, the more interested people are in your niche The faster you will grow which means the more money you will make.

Here is a list of the most profitable niches:

NicheCPM
Pranks$0-1
Gaming$1-3
Vlogs$1-4
Beauty$3-10
Credit$7-10
Finance$8-15
Technology$10-12
Real Estate$12-17
Investing$12-18
E-Commerce$13-20

If you are outsourcing the work any niche will work. If you are doing all the work yourself I would recommend finding something that you enjoy or are really passionate about.

2. Identify video ideas & create a schedule

To easily find content do the following:

  • Re-make popular videos in your niche with your own twists.
  • Search for popular topics in your niche. Then re-create videos with high views from small channels.
  • Use software plugins to find videos you can rank for.

Next, you will need to determine an upload schedule. This includes how often and on which days you should upload your videos to YouTube. I suggest 3 videos a week. Once you start uploading your videos, your optimal times will present themselves. The key is to make your videos habitual for your viewers so they can come back and watch future videos.

3. Determine the monetization approach

This is the approach or outline that has worked for me:

  • 0-1000 subs: Promote Affiliate offers, courses
  • 1000-10000 subs: Promote Affiliates, courses, and ad revenue
  • 10000+ subs: Promote affiliates, ad revenue, courses, coaching, etc.

Remember to have offers at all price points so potential customers have plenty of options.

Now here’s how you make your $25k/year:

  • $25,000 per year = ~$2,000 a month
  • 10,000 monthly views x 0.005% conversion rate x $40 product = $2,000
  • As your channel grows, this income will grow as well

4. Create Content or Hire Talent

With this, you can either create the content yourself or hire talent to do the work for you. I would recommend hiring talent if you can afford it. The reason for this is that it will take the average person a long time to learn how to create the content. This will make it much easier to take action instead of trying to learn and then quitting out of frustration.

If hiring talent then you will need the following:

  • Scriptwriter
  • Voiceover artist
  • Editor
  • Thumbnail designer

You can hire each of these roles on websites like Upwork or Fiverr.

Here’s an example of a job posting you can use:

“I am the founder of an online media company based in the United States. We are looking for a full-time whiteboard animation creator for our YouTube channel.

Here is the level of animation expected: “Provide link to example YouTube video here”

The freelancer for this project requires knowledge in Videoscribe or similar software and must be able to create twenty 5-minute videos a month.

The monthly budget for this role is $300-$500 depending on animation quality and timeliness of production.”

5. Package videos and upload them to YouTube

If you hire out the work then the only things you need to do are the following:

  • Review and upload each video made by your team
  • Add thumbnail and title
  • Publish and profit
  • Cash or deposit your earnings

It’s really that simple. All it takes is for you to take action and stay the course. Hope you enjoyed this if so come back for more simple guides that can make you extra money.
