In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with faceless YouTube entrepreneur Tony Lysandrides, who scaled a channel about Dubai to $14,000/month with 100,000 subscribers — despite knowing almost nothing about the city when he started. Tony breaks down exactly how to find a trending niche in under 30 minutes using free tools like vidIQ, how to use AI tools like Claude and ElevenLabs to dramatically cut production costs, and how to write scripts that retain viewers and get pushed by YouTube's algorithm. He also covers the YouTube Partner Program, RPM, video length strategy, fair use, and why faceless YouTube is still one of the best side hustles — or full-time businesses — you can build in 2026. Whether you're looking to earn extra income or replace your salary entirely, this episode gives you a clear, actionable roadmap to get started!
