This One Type of YouTube Automation Channel Has the Highest RPM (And It’s Not What You Think)

Want to make $3K–$15K/month with faceless YouTube — without editing all day or going viral? Here’s why “Fall Asleep To” channels are the most underrated goldmine in YouTube Automation today.

“I Don’t Have Time or Money to Start YouTube Automation”, Let’s Fix That

If you’ve ever thought about starting a YouTube channel but instantly shut it down with:

“I don’t have the time.”
“I don’t have the money.”
“I’m working full-time, I can’t add one more thing to my plate.”

You’re not alone.

In fact, that’s exactly where most of our community starts.

But here’s the truth: YouTube automation isn’t about doing more. It’s about building smarter. With systems. With support. With simplicity.

You don’t need thousands of dollars.
You don’t need to quit your job.
And you definitely don’t need to wait until “life calms down.”

Because it won’t.

This blog will show you exactly how regular people, working 9-to-5, raising kids, and managing life, are quietly building profitable faceless YouTube channels on the side.

We’ll break down:

  • Why “not enough time” is a myth (and how to fix it)

  • How to start with less than $100/month

  • The system we use to turn 6 hours/week into $3K+/month

  • And why starting messy is way better than waiting for perfect

Let’s bust this belief wide open, and build something that gives you time, instead of stealing it.

The Real Reason You Feel Like You Don’t Have Time or Money

Let’s get brutally honest.

When someone says, “I don’t have time or money to start,” it’s rarely about the actual minutes or dollars. It’s about mental bandwidth. It’s about fear of wasting effort. It’s about not wanting to start something that might not work.

We’ve been conditioned to believe that building a business requires huge risk:
Quitting your job. Emptying your savings. Hustling 12 hours a day.
No wonder so many people feel frozen before they even begin.

But that belief is outdated, especially with YouTube automation.

Here’s what most beginners don’t realize:

  • You don’t need 20 hours a week. You can start with 4–6.

  • You don’t need $2,000. You can start with AI tools and templates for under $100/month.

  • You don’t need to “figure it all out.” You can follow a proven system used by hundreds of creators.

What you do need is a mindset shift.
From “I don’t have time” → to “How can I invest a little time each week to gain more later?”
From “I don’t have money” → to “What skills or tools will free me from relying on a paycheck?”

Because here’s the truth: staying stuck is more expensive than trying.
Another year in a job you hate… that’s the real cost.

In the next chapter, I’ll show you how people just like you, full-time employees with families and responsibilities, are building YouTube income on the side.

How Busy People Actually Make It Work

You’re not lazy. You’re overloaded.
Between work, family, and life, it feels like there’s no room left for a side hustle, especially one as mysterious as “YouTube automation.”

But here’s what’s wild: some of our most successful Faceless Tuber School members are people working 40–60 hour weeks, juggling kids, and still managing to build profitable channels.

How?
They follow a simple, repeatable system that maximizes output per hour, instead of throwing time at the wall hoping something sticks.

Here’s what that looks like:

  • 1 hour of niche and video research using AI tools

  • 1 hour of script generation + editing (or outsourcing for $5–$10)

  • 1 hour for voiceover (or using tools like ElevenLabs for $5/month)

  • 1 hour managing your editor (or editing it yourself with drag-and-drop tools)

  • 1 hour for titles, thumbnails, uploading, and tracking performance

That’s 5 hours/week. Done consistently, that’s enough to upload 1–2 high-quality videos weekly. And when you’re consistent, YouTube’s algorithm rewards you, and so does your AdSense account.

The real key? Batching and delegation.
Don’t try to do everything every day. Do 1–2 tasks per session. Let tools and templates do the heavy lifting.

Time isn't the problem. Clarity is.

In the next chapter, I’ll show you exactly what you need to get started on a tiny budget, and where most people overspend for no reason.

How to Start with Less Than $100 a Month

One of the biggest myths in YouTube automation is that you need thousands to get started. Fancy editors, $300 microphones, custom animations, hiring a team… it adds up quick, if you let it.

But if you’re just starting out, you don’t need any of that.

In fact, most of our students start lean, spending less than $100/month to run an entire faceless channel.

Here’s a realistic breakdown:

  • Scriptwriting – $0
    Use ChatGPT with custom prompts. Refine your voice and pacing as you go. With the right setup, you can get 80% of the way there and tweak the rest.

  • Voiceover – $5–$11/month
    Tools like ElevenLabs or Murf let you generate high-quality AI voiceovers that sound nearly human. Or record your own with a $30 mic and free software like Audacity.

  • Video Editing – $0–$15/video
    Use beginner-friendly tools like CapCut or InVideo. Or hire freelancers on Fiverr/Upwork to edit videos for $10–$20 each. Many offer discounts for bulk orders.

  • Thumbnail Design – $0–$10/video
    Canva (free) works great. Use templates or hire designers for $5–$10 a pop. You don’t need a masterpiece, you need curiosity.

  • Stock Footage & Music – $0–$20/month
    Free sites like Pexels, Pixabay, and YouTube Audio Library offer great resources. Upgrade later if needed.

That’s it.
Lean, scrappy, and profitable.

The goal isn’t perfection, it’s publishing.
Your first 10 videos won’t be your best… but they’ll be the ones that teach you the most.

Next, I’ll show you how our students use 6 focused hours per week to build a real income stream that compounds.

The 6-Hour Weekly System That Builds to $3K+/Month

Let’s get clear: You don’t need to “go all in” to win with YouTube automation.

In fact, some of our most successful creators only have 6 focused hours per week. And they’re turning that into $500, $1,000, even $3K+ per month in income.

Here’s how it breaks down:

Hour 1: Topic + Niche Research
Spend 1 hour using tools like VidIQ, YouTube search, and AI prompts to find topics with demand but low competition. This is where success begins.

Hour 2: Script Creation (or Review)
Use a high-converting prompt in ChatGPT to create a video script. Polish it up, or send it to a cheap writer to clean up.

Hour 3: Voiceover
Record it yourself in 15–20 minutes or use an AI voice with ElevenLabs. Upload, tweak pacing, and export.

Hour 4: Video Editing
Drag-and-drop tools like CapCut or outsourcing to an editor makes this efficient. Stick to one style so it’s easy to repeat.

Hour 5: Thumbnail + Title Optimization
Use YouTube’s autocomplete to research titles. Then design a clean, curiosity-driven thumbnail using Canva or hire for cheap.

Hour 6: Upload, Optimize, Track
Upload, schedule, write a short description with SEO keywords, and track performance in a simple sheet. Use data to improve next week.

That’s your system.

Repeat it weekly, and after 10–15 videos, you’ll start seeing traction, clicks, views, subs, and revenue.

Now, let’s bring it all together and talk about the smartest next step if you’re ready to get started without guessing.

You Don’t Need More Time or Money, You Need a Better System

If you’ve read this far, you already know the truth:

You don’t need to wait for “more time.” You don’t need to save up “more money.”
You need a repeatable system, and the belief that this is actually possible for you.

Because it is.

YouTube isn’t just for teenagers with vlogs or viral prank channels anymore.
It’s a modern media platform with room for smart, system-driven creators who understand content, consistency, and leverage.

And faceless YouTube automation is the smartest way to tap into that, especially if you’re working full-time.

Think about it:

  • You can build once and earn forever

  • You can publish weekly while working a 9-to-5

  • You can use AI to speed up production

  • You can build a system that grows without trading hours for dollars

But here’s what separates those who succeed from those who stay stuck:

They get help.
They follow a proven path.
They stop starting over every week and build momentum with support.

That’s exactly why I built Faceless Tuber School.

Inside, you’ll get:

  • My exact 5M Framework for launching profitable faceless channels

  • Coaching calls and community feedback so you never get stuck alone
