I hate those “money-making courses” that force you to hustle harder, sleep less, edit videos for hours, and end up more exhausted than you would in your 9 to 5 job. A side hustle is supposed to give you freedom — not drain your soul.
So today, I’m going to show you something that shocked even me:
A YouTube Shorts video I uploaded almost two years ago, with no face shown, no fancy production, and no marketing, has already generated over $7,000 and still pays me $200 per month in pure passive income. And if you follow it, you can turn YouTube into a passive income machine — even if you only have 1–2 hours a week.
Step 1: Forget Motivation — Catch the Current “Golden Age” of YouTube Shorts
People keep saying: “Isn’t YouTube too saturated? It is the big lie. When I started, my RPM was $0.09.
Last month? $0.27.
A few weeks ago? $0.36.
That’s a 4× increase.
YouTube is desperately competing with TikTok and Reels , meaning they’re paying creators more than ever.
Right now is the best window to start. Not last year. Not next year.
Now. Most “gurus” tell you to grind manually, brainstorm daily, edit endlessly, and live inside YouTube Studio. That’s stupid.
My rule is simple: maximize output, minimize input. Automation over hard work. Systems over stress.
Step 2: Pick an Evergreen Niche That Prints Money Forever
This step alone determines whether you burn out in 30 days or become effortlessly profitable.
You must choose a niche that:
Never goes out of style
Can be reused and repeated
Works with AI scripting
Has long-tail traffic
My $7,000 video? Animal trivia. Cheap to make. Evergreen. Loved universally. Other evergreen goldmines include:
- Technology
- Health
- History & facts
- Food & cooking knowledge
- Animals
- Psychology
- Mini-story formats
- Interactive challenges
These niches last years , not days.
Avoid niches like:
Trending news
Drama / gossip
Seasonal memes
These die fast and don’t earn passive income.
Step 3: Use Data Tools to Find “Proven Winners” Before You Create Anything
Don’t guess. Don’t hope. Look at what’s already winning. Tools like Algrow Online let you filter channels by:
- Niches
- Avg views
- Subscriber count
- Views per video
- Video format
If you find a channel getting 1M+ views per video, that’s a huge green flag — the niche is profitable, sustainable, and proven.
For example, the “Put a Finger Down Challenge” niche:
- 2.49M subscribers
- 1.2M average view
- 202 videos
- Simple, replicable format
That’s all the evidence I need.
Step 4: Prevent Creative Burnout — Let AI Mass-Produce Scripts for You
1. Collect 20 viral shorts in the niche
Grab their transcripts using free tools.
2. Dump all transcripts into an AI chatbot
(Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok — your choice)
3. Use this prompt:
“Analyze the structure and patterns of these viral hits. Create 50 original, high-potential video scripts in the same style.”
Within seconds…
BOOM.
A full month of content.
This is why I say you must choose replicable niches.
Not all niches can be batched with AI.
Step 5: Use AI Voiceovers — Fast, Cheap, High-Impact
I use ElevenLabs for realistic voiceovers.
Why?
- No microphone
- No background noise
- No studio setup
- No retakes
Just paste the script → choose voice → tweak speed to 1.10 → download. Sounds professional. Looks professional. Costs pennies.
Step 6: Outsource Editing Completely
If you edit your own videos every day, you will burn out. Instead, do what I do:
Hire editors from the Philippines (OnlineJobs platform)
Benefits:
- $2–$3 per hour
- Great English
- Reliable long-term partners
Most of my shorts cost $2–$6 to edit.
Think about it:
If you invest $5 and the video earns $7,000…
Would you hesitate?
Exactly. Automate the system, not yourself.
Step 7: Post 1–2 Shorts Daily — Build a “Digital Asset Bank”
I’ll be honest with you: If you post randomly or irregularly, you won’t succeed.
New channels need consistency to gain authority.
You’re not posting videos.
You’re building assets.
Every short is a tiny machine that can generate income for years.
Keep posting.
Keep compounding.
Let the algorithm do its job.
If you follow this system, earning $3,000–$5,000 per month in passive income within a few months is absolutely realistic.
Final Message: Stop Grinding. Start Automating.
Stop treating YouTube like a job.
Start treating it like a system.
You don’t need:
Your face
Your voice
Editing skills
Expensive tools
Daily creativity
You just need:
Evergreen niche
Batch-produced scripts
AI voiceovers
Outsourced editing
Daily posting
A long-term mindset
This is not hype. This is the exact process that earned me $7,000 from a faceless short video — and continues paying me monthly. You can build the same machine.
