He got 3.9M views with a BLACK SCREEN
this "badly edited" video made $20K+
if you think you need highly edited videos to make it with youtube automation or even youtube in general
then this email is for you
because today I'mma show you why this is one of the biggest myths in the YTA space
and I'mma show you an example of a video that got 3.9 million views with below average editing
you ready?
so first why editing is NOT as important as you think
truth is: your topic matters way more than your editing
you could hire a $100/video editor to make the most polished content ever
but if your topic sucks and no one searches for it, you'll get 100 views max
on the flip side, if you pick a topic people actually want to watch, even basic editing will get you hundreds of thousands of views
now yeah, having well-edited videos might help you grow a bit faster
but it's NOT mandatory to make money
especially when you're just starting
it's way smarter to start with a niche that doesn't require complex editing
learn all the other important skills first:
finding viral topics
writing good scripts
making clickable thumbnails
crafting strong titles
then later when you have more money and experience, you can level up to more edited content if you want
but you don't need to start there
here's proof
the channel "Sleepless Historian" got 3.9M views on one video

at the 38 minute mark it's literally just a BLACK SCREEN with the capcut logo showing
and before that he/she just had some images stitched together
this video probably made $20K+ and the editor was clearly half asleep
some channels making $50K+ per month have this exact level of editing
so if they can do it… why can’t you?
don't let excuses like "i need better editing" stop you from starting a business that could change your life
and if you want the exact blueprint on how to start your own faceless youtube channel
that’s it for today, see you soon…
