About

Niche Pursuits is your resource for niche business ideas, online business tips, and niche website strategies created by someone that is actually in the trenches building these businesses. Hey there, I'm Spencer Haws, founder of NichePursuits.com. I've been creating online businesses since 2006 and actually got good enough at in 2011 to quit my job and do this "internet" thing full-time ever since. I've create hundreds of sites (not recommended) in various niches, been blogging for over a decade, created several software tools (including Long Tail Pro and Link Whisper), sold dozens of products through Amazon FBA, and have generally tried, failed, and succeeded at dozens of different niche business ventures. If you are looking for strategies, tips, and small business advice from someone that does more than just talk about it, I'll hope you'll subscribe to my YouTube channel and follow along!

Video Description

Like you, I've heard all the success stories related to building a Faceless Youtube channel. So, I decided to build a "no face" Youtube channel! In this video, I'll share exactly what happened with my channel. In fact, I'll reveal the channel itself! Watch the video to experience the ups and downs of this 286 day journey trying to make money from Youtube. How much money did the channel make? How much did I spend to outsource the creation of the videos? One of our videos on this faceless youtube channel now has over 1.4 million views and I'll share this exact video with you. I also reveal several faceless youtube channels that are doing REALLY well, including a couple that are certainly making more than $1 million a year. Along with the good, I'll share some of the pitfalls we experienced; including a copyright claim on our most popular video. I'll also share some of the strategies that I feel like could have made our channel better, and what I would recommend if you decide to build a faceless youtube channel.
