How much do faceless YouTube channels make?

Almost entirely determined by niche RPM and view volume, and barely at all by subscriber count.

RPM is what you actually receive per thousand monetised views after YouTube's share. Finance, business and software commonly run $15-40. Health and education sit mid-range. Entertainment, gaming and general facts often fall below $4.

So a finance channel at 200,000 monthly views can earn more than an entertainment channel at a million. Subscribers matter for distribution, not for the rate.

Shorts pay materially less per view than long-form, because the Shorts revenue pool is shared differently. That is why many faceless channels use Shorts for reach and long-form or sponsorship for income.

What earnings screenshots leave out: the months of uploads before monetisation, the videos that flopped, and the fact that ad revenue is usually the smallest of the three income lines once sponsorship and affiliate arrive.
