What It Is
You start a new faceless Shorts channel by picking a niche and a successful 'inspiration channel' to model, then post ranking-style compilation videos every day, adjusting based on which ones take off.
The Pitch
Kellan says he started this channel to prove it's the best business model to hit your first $5,000 to $10,000 a month, and shows it going from $0.27 a day to a $400 day in 30 days.
Who It’s Best For
Patient beginners willing to post every day for a month before judging results.
The Truth (as we see it)
A $400 day after 30 days is one good result, not a monthly income, and he says himself that it took a full month. The method relies on re-editing clips taken from other platforms. Using other people's footage without permission can bring copyright claims and YouTube's reused-content rules, which can demonetize or remove a channel, so add real commentary and your own work. The only link on his channel's About page is Viblo, the AI editing tool he uses and promotes in every video.
