Frequently Asked Questions
How long should AI shorts be?
For maximum reach, keep shorts between 30-60 seconds. The algorithm favors high completion rates, and shorter videos get watched fully more often. Reddit stories can go up to 90 seconds if the hook is strong.
Can I really make money without showing my face?
Yes. Faceless channels are among the most successful on YouTube and TikTok. Channels like "Inner Toxic Relief" and "Jetet Genius" earn $10K-$15K/month without ever showing the creator's face. The content matters more than the presenter.
What's the fastest path to monetization?
YouTube Shorts requires 1,000 subscribers + 10 million Shorts views in 90 days. TikTok requires 10,000 followers + 100,000 views. Most AI shorts creators hit these thresholds in 3-6 months by posting consistently (2-3 videos per day).
Is AI-generated content allowed on TikTok and YouTube?
Yes, AI content is allowed as long as it follows community guidelines and isn't misleading about real events or people. Entertainment, educational, and creative content using AI is perfectly fine on both platforms.
Which niche makes the most money?
Horror content has the highest CPMs ($8-$25 vs $2-$5 average). However, educational/finance niches attract better sponsorships. Reddit stories have the most viral potential. The best strategy is often starting with high-volume viral content (Reddit stories) then transitioning to higher-CPM niches.
