You have been lied to about YouTube automation…

• "Just focus on achieving a high CTR & AVD."

• "Selecting an evergreen niche and emulating the strategies of the top channels is key."

• "Getting into the algorithm requires consistent daily uploads for about 6 months."

Following advice like this often leads to 90% of Automation Channels shutting down within 6 months without reaching monetization, let alone earning their first $1,000.

You have been lied to about YouTube Automation...

Having managed faceless channels since 2019, I've learned six specific, unconventional lessons through experience.

Today, I want to discuss the first one:

Avoid Copying Overly Successful Channels

Conventional wisdom suggests mimicking the content of massively popular channels, assuming their success will translate to your own. However, this approach is flawed.

These established channels began their journey four years ago, while you're starting today. The landscape of the market evolves rapidly, rendering the strategies of yesteryears ineffective for newcomers.

Instead, consider the following approach:

Identify small channels launched within the past 12 months, preferably 1-6 months old.

These channels thrive in the current market dynamics, relying on content rather than established brand recognition to attract viewers.

Let's illustrate this with an example from the "crime niche."

An amateur might emulate a channel like "Beyond Evil," replicating their thumbnail style, titles, and even content selection under the assumption that what worked for them will work for everyone else.

However, upon closer inspection, only a fraction of their most successful videos are recent. Their success is more a testament to their brand strength than the current dynamics of the crime niche.

A professional, on the other hand, would analyze current trends within the niche, identifying emerging topics like police bodycam footage. Channels like "Police Notes," established just three months ago, have rapidly gained traction by tapping into this trend.

By focusing on the demand for current content, rather than relying on past successes, you position yourself for success. While established channels rely on brand recognition, you have the advantage of adaptability. Be fluid, my friend.

In summary, enter niches based on current dynamics and emerging trends, not past successes. This approach harnesses momentum in your favor, rather than against you.
