21-Year-Old Making $1M/Year With Faceless YouTube Channels
📝 An interview with Noah Morris last August…
He has ~20 faceless YT channels, and seems to have cracked the code on how to grow and monetize them 💰
A more recent video from Noah…
That channel is Playtime Mysteries, all about the popular video game Poppy Playtime.
Brand new channel, first video posted last March, total earnings of $11,277 by early January 🤑
Noah breaks down how he…
Found the niche to focus on
Validated that niche
Figured out what videos to create
Built a team to produce the videos
Optimized the channel
Pretty much a playbook for how to build your own successful faceless YT channel 📈

PAID TO CHAT
Get Paid $16/Hour To Talk To Strangers & Train AI
This guy on YouTube (Sarge) is a bit strange but shows proof of earning $572 by talking to strangers online 💬
It's via a website called Babel Audio, where…
You can get paid to have fifteen minute conversations with thousands of participants…
We record every conversation, and use this data to build AI training datasets. These datasets are used by technology companies to build the next generation of audio and speech AI models.
Sarge earned his $572 from 142 fifteen-minute calls = $16 per hour 🤑
Not bad given that you need zero skills for this, just a quiet room and a decent microphone.
Lots more people talking about this on Reddit, including this commenter 👇
I applied on December 28th and got accepted the next day via email. It is truly legit and love doing this type of work.
So far, my earnings over last 29 days is $1400 .. and you can work when you want and how much you want depending on the call limits company prescribes to you.
Consensus is the company definitely pays, but they're very picky about the audio quality 😕
Worth trying for some extra cash if you have time to kill, totally flexible.
MOBILE APP
Silly Little Kegel App Earns $1000/Month Passive Income
💬 Nat Eliason tweets…
Is passive income a myth?
Usually.
But not always...
My silly little kegel app from 9 years ago somehow still earns ~$1,000 a month.
I have released 1 update in nine years.
It's a bit NSFW, but here's the app on the Apple App Store.
From the revenue graph included with Nat's tweet, it looks like it once pulled in $10K+ in a single month, and has had several $5K+ months over the years 💰
Nat's continued success with that app has me thinking that there should be plenty of room for a competitor.
Could you build a better version of that app? 🤔
And keep it updated?
Or make pretty much the same thing but charge a little less for it.

I Think You'll Find It's A Bit More Complicated Than That

LEAD GENERATION
$293K in Six Months with Legal Leads on Facebook Ads
📝 A post on Reddit…
Same guy posted the same thing here with more info in the comments 💬
He's running Facebook ads for legal services, then selling the leads to an aggregator, who in turn sells the leads to lawyers.
Started with a $10K budget, ended up spending $132K to earn $293K = $161K profit in six months 🤑
Keys to success…
The big shift was going Spanish instead of English. English market’s crowded—everyone’s doing it. Spanish had less competition, cheaper ads, better conversion rates…
What worked? Manual bidding and AI UGC ads
How he found the aggregators 👇
I have a lot of connections in the space. I chalk that up to investing in networking and attending conferences and masterminds… Best bet is to go to conferences and make connections in person. Online is getting more and more murky to do deals.
Asked why he'd post this info online and invite competition…
Most people read posts like this and take no action. The amount of effort they would need to input is significant.... sure they could compete but they won't
PRODUCT LICENSING
He Earns $800K Per Year From 1 Licensed Idea
Stephen Key on YouTube 👇
Yes, you can license ideas even though you don't live in United States… companies all around the world – especially here in the United States – are looking for new ideas [that] they can bring to market.
If they license those ideas or rent those ideas from you, they're going to pay you a royalty on each and every one they sell.
In another video, Stephen shares how much he's earned licensing some of his ideas…
Disney Ballpens – $10K
Plush Puppets – $10K
Michael Jordan Wall Ball – $100K
Spinformation – $200K quarterly
Lots more info on Stephen's channel about product licensing 👍
Including interviews with successful product licensors, like this one…
🎙️ From a related podcast interview with Sef Chang…
Sef discovered licensing products after graduating college.
He submitted many product ideas to a novelty company. The company was interested in a licensing deal for a miniature keychain back scratcher.
The back scratcher sold 180,000 units and kicked off his career as a product developer.
