Hello All!
This post is about sharing results. Am I really getting results?
The results so far are the most exciting! I will share all the details and the training in a soon-to-be-published video. There are so many positives and just as importantly a couple of negatives. Negatives that I had to learn the hard way. All that and more soon.
The good news is that I am not trying to sell you anything, my intent is to help you. Since this is a new venture, it is not guaranteed, even when you have experience. I still 'cross my fingers' with every video, and yes, I have already made several mistakes.
What I have done, however, in the last 7 days is to get a feel, I believe a pretty good sense for this niche.
This is a small milestone, but a very important one. WHY? It shows that people are actually watching these videos!
Please remember this is a new channel. On the other hand, getting 4K hours of watch time (in 12 months or sooner) is what is needed to get monetized. That relates to about 80 hours per week, which should happen within the next week.
I believe that I have found TWO KEYS that will accelerate growth! (Get even better results)
It is a little too early to be sure, but my research is usually correct. I have been lucky enough to figure out how to sniff out the best videos, and how I do that is included in the soon-to-be-published video. I have also discovered that video compilations do well.
Top videos in the last 48 hours.
In other words, finding the most watched videos and creating compilations should get more views. The idea is to upload videos that both YT and viewers want, hopefully, love.
For example. Bonanza videos get views, lots of views.
The above shows the top 3 videos at the moment. The showdown episode happens to be the most-watched episode of Bonanza on YT with millions of views.
Showdown was published yesterday. It looks like it is going to be in first place soon. I do not have viewers' stats on this video such as view duration, it is too soon, but watch time has been an average of 50%, so this video alone will probably add 40 or more hours of watch time per week.
The third most popular episode of Bonanza was published a few hours ago.
The second most popular episode will be published later today.
Also, the first compilation video has been posted. Actually, minutes ago.
Putting together compilations of commercials is easy and still fast. Compilation of full episodes is also easy
BUT
allow me to share one of my dumb mistakes.
Although it may be public domain, I discovered that Doctor Who is either BBC or Doctor Who. Every Doctor Who video is
on one channel or the other. I should have noticed, I did not.
HA! When I say that most of what I have learned is the hard way, I am serious, so if you decide to try the Faceless Video strategy using public domain videos, my intent is to help you avoid some of the pitfalls that I have fallen into.
The bottom line is that Doctor Who videos will be BLOCKED (not shown) by YT due to copyright.
What you just learned in a second took me a bit longer.
During your research, if all the videos are from the same channel or channels, take notice, it means that you may run into copyright issues.

Do You KNOW?
You may not realize that you are getting to look over my shoulder as I put this Faceless Video strategy in motion. The info is first-hand.
And you get the bad with the good. My sharing negatives is not meant to deter you, it is meant to arm you.
Conclusion
So far, so good. The results are not viral, the results not overwhelming, but they are most encouraging. Getting traction from the start is not usually what happens. Supposedly it takes about 100 videos for YT to give your channel even a little attention.
I believe that it is the video content that is the main reason for a good start. Just a reminder that the content has already been created. We simply download it and upload it. Watch the video above for more details.
Thank you for reading.
Much success.
