How To Get Monetised On YouTube: Fast, Faceless & Profitable

If you’re eager to get monetised on YouTube—and you’d rather not show your face—this simple strategy is for you. Here’s how you can accelerate your journey to monetisation using smart tools and a bit of creativity.

The YouTube Monetisation Checklist

To qualify for monetisation on YouTube, you need:

• 500 subscribers

• 3 uploads in the past 90 days

• And either:

  • 3,000 public watch hours in 365 days OR

  • 3 million public Shorts views in 90 days

While hitting 3 million Shorts views is ambitious, you can more reliably meet the watch hours requirement with engaging long-form videos.

How to Build Your Channel Fast (Without Showing Your Face)

1. Leverage Syllaby for Consistent Shorts
Create 1–2 Shorts daily with Syllaby to quickly gain subscribers. I reached 500 subscribers within my first month using this method!

2. Create Engaging Long-Form Content with NotebookLM & CapCut
Mix up your strategy by also producing long-form videos. Here’s a quick 30-minute workflow:

• Source Inspiration:
  Find 2–3 videos, articles, or blogs on your chosen topic via YouTube or Google.

• Generate Audio with NotebookLM:

  • Paste your source links into Google’s NotebookLM.

  • Customize the audio instructions and hit “Generate” for a ready-to-go podcast-style voiceover with human-like AI hosts.

  • Download the generated audio file.

• Edit in CapCut:

  • Start a new 16:9 video project and upload your audio file.

  • Use the auto-captions feature for clarity.

  • Add engaging background visuals—try copyright-free gameplay clips for extra appeal.

• Design Eye-Catching Thumbnails:

  • Use ChatGPT to generate thumbnail ideas and then design them in Canva.

  • Keep titles short and bold, ensuring they grab attention from a distance.

• Optimize and Upload:

  • Use NotebookLM to generate a compelling description, a set of engaging titles, and a string of relevant hashtags.

  • Upload your video to YouTube with these details, and schedule it for maximum reach.

By repeating this process—say, posting three long-form videos a day—you can reach the monetisation threshold within just a couple of months, even if you invest only 1-2 hours daily.

Why It Works

One of my long-form videos generated over 660 views in less than a week, adding nearly 14 hours to my public watch time. With steady, consistent posting, these efforts compound into real, measurable growth.

Until next week, keep hustling and making every minute count.
