How I Made $1,000 with ONE AI Video (Only 600 Views, No Monetization)

In January, I created a brand new faceless YouTube channel called “Affiliate Pro Insider.” No audience, no ads, no monetization.

Just one single AI video uploaded on January 26, 2025.

And within 30 days, that one AI-generated video made me $1,000.

But here’s the twist. It only got 600 views. Nope, not 60,000 views. Not 6,000 views. Just 600 views.

To make it even crazier, I didn’t earn a single penny from YouTube AdSense because my channel wasn’t eligible for monetization yet.

So, how the heck did I make $1,000?

Hold up. Before we dive in, I know this sounds unbelievable. I’m not here to scam you like other creators; I’m here to show you the exact blueprint.

But listen carefully. If you want to understand how I pulled this off, do not skip ahead. I’m breaking it down step-by-step, and every part matters.

Let’s get into it.

The Secret: High-Ticket Affiliate Commissions

Now, picture this. You find a platform that pays you 70 to 80% commission for every product you help sell. And each sale can earn you $100 or more.

That means just 10 sales equals $1,000 in your pocket.

Sounds insane, right? It’s real. It’s called the ClickBank Marketplace.

This is the core of the entire strategy. You don’t need a million views; you need a product that converts and a strategy that sells.

Step 1: Finding a Winning Product on ClickBank

First, go to ClickBank.com and create a free account. Just fill in your basic details, and you’re in.

Once inside, head straight to the Affiliate Marketplace.

I started researching different niches and noticed something powerful: the health and fitness niche was crushing it. It makes sense—obesity is everywhere. People want to feel good, look good, and stay healthy. That’s why fitness and weight loss products are some of the top-converting offers on ClickBank.

But here’s the part most beginners mess up: they choose random products based on how much they pay per sale. Big mistake.

If you want to win, you need to look at something called the Gravity Score.

In plain English, ClickBank tracks how many affiliates have made sales with that product over the last 12 weeks. That’s its “gravity.”

• A gravity score of 150 means 150 different affiliates made money selling that product recently.

• It’s not just hype; it’s proof that the product is converting right now.

So, the higher the gravity score, the better. No need to guess or gamble—just follow the numbers.

That’s exactly what I did. I went straight to the health niche and found one of the hottest trending products of 2025: Mlen.

This product is built around fat loss, metabolism, and cellular energy—everything people obsess over for fast, visible weight loss results.

Step 2: Getting Your Affiliate Link

Here’s how simple the next step is:

1. Head over to the product page on ClickBank.

2. Click the “Get Affiliate Link” button.

3. Enter your affiliate nickname.

Boom. ClickBank generates a hop link for you. This is your personal referral link—your digital money trail.

Whenever someone clicks your link and buys, ClickBank knows it came from you and pays you the commission.

Let me break that down with real numbers:

• Mlen costs $294 for a six-bottle pack.

• With a 75% commission, you earn $220 per sale.

• Just FIVE sales equals $1,100.

That’s exactly how I earned over a grand from just 600 views.

Making Your Link Click-Worthy

That raw hop link from ClickBank looks ugly, long, and spammy. No one will click on it.

So, here’s what you do:

1. Go to Bitly.com (a free link shortener).

2. Paste your big, messy hop link there.

3. Click “Shorten.”

Voila! You now have a clean, professional, shortened link. This makes it more clickable, trustworthy, and allows you to track clicks.

Step 3: Creating the AI Video (No Camera, No Mic)

Your product is ready, and your affiliate link is clean. Now, how do you actually sell it?

The strategy I used is simpler than most people think: I created a faceless YouTube product review channel.

The entire idea: make videos reviewing high-converting products like Mlen and insert your affiliate link in the description. That’s it. No face, no voice, no filming.

My very first video in this format brought in over $1,000.

Here’s how you can do the same, step-by-step.

A. Branding Your Channel

First, you need a YouTube channel. Create a new Gmail account or use an existing one.

Then, head over to YouTube, click your profile icon, and choose “Create a channel.”

Even though it’s faceless, your channel needs a digital identity that feels trustworthy and niche-specific.

1. Name: I used ChatGPT. I typed: “Give me 20 name ideas for a YouTube channel that reviews weight loss supplements and fitness products.” From the list, I chose Affiliate Pro Insider.

2. Logo: I went back to ChatGPT: “Generate a modern YouTube logo design idea for a channel called Affiliate Pro Insider that reviews fitness and health products.” I downloaded the idea in HD and uploaded it to my channel’s branding tab.

Minimal effort, maximum credibility.

B. Generating the Script with AI

1. Head over to the product’s sales page (for Mlen) and absorb the key points: headlines, benefits, ingredients, testimonials.

2. Open ChatGPT and use a prompt like this:

   “Write an engaging YouTube product review script for Mlen, a fat loss supplement. Include benefits, unique features, and a persuasive call to action in a conversational tone.”

3. Within seconds, you’ll have a full, YouTube-ready script tailored to sell.

C. Creating the Voiceover with AI

For this, I use ElevenLabs, one of the best AI voice generators.

1. Create an account on ElevenLabs.

2. Choose a realistic AI voice from their library.

3. Paste your script into the editor.

4. Click “Generate.”

5. Download the high-quality audio file. No talking, no mic, just a clean, professional voiceover done in minutes.

D. Generating Video Visuals with AI

Instead of using generic stock B-roll, I use Leonardo AI to create stunning, custom visuals.

1. Log into Leonardo AI.

2. Based on your script, write image prompts like:

   • “Healthy woman looking in a mirror smiling after weight loss.”

   • “Microscopic view of fat cells being broken down.”

   • “Digital bottle of Mlen supplement with glowing effects.”

3. Generate 5-10 relevant images in HD and download them.

E. Editing the Video Together

I use CapCut (a free video editor), but you can use any editor you like.

1. Import your voiceover from ElevenLabs.

2. Drag and drop your AI-generated images from Leonardo AI onto the timeline.

3. Match the images with the corresponding parts of the voiceover.

4. Add background music: Use CapCut’s library of royalty-free tracks. Choose something soft and motivational.

5. Add subtitles: Use the text tool to auto-generate subtitles from your voiceover. This is crucial for viewers who watch on mute and boosts retention.

Play it back, export it, and your high-converting AI video is ready!

Step 4: Uploading & Optimizing for YouTube

Now, upload your video to your new YouTube channel.

While it’s uploading, optimize it for discovery:

• Title: Use ChatGPT again: “Give me 10 catchy YouTube titles for a review video of Mlen, a fat loss supplement.” Choose the most clickworthy one.

• Description: Ask ChatGPT: “Write a high-converting, SEO-optimized YouTube video description for a weight loss supplement called Mlen. Include keywords like fat loss, weight loss supplements, and metabolism booster.” Paste this into the description box and add your Bitly affiliate link near the top.

• Tags: Use a free tool like RapidTags. Enter your main keyword (e.g., “Mlen”) and generate a list of relevant tags. Copy and paste them into your video’s tags section.

Hit publish. Your first AI faceless review video is officially live!

The Crucial Step: How to Get Views (The Promotion Strategy)

You can’t rely on YouTube alone to push your first video. That’s where promotion made all the difference.

Here’s exactly what I did to drive those 600 highly targeted views:

1. Reddit: I searched for weight-loss subreddits like r/loseit, r/WeightWatchers, and r/fitness. I participated in conversations, replying to threads like “What’s working for your fat loss?” with helpful advice and a link to my video. Natural, not spammy.

2. Facebook Groups: I joined 5-10 niche health and fitness groups. After a day or two, I posted: “I found this new supplement trending in 2025, made a quick review video about it, curious if anyone else has tried it.”

3. Quora: I searched for questions like “What are the best fat burners in 2025?” and answered with value, adding a line like “Here’s a breakdown I made on a new supplement” with my video link.

4. Pinterest: I created a simple Pin on Canva titled “How I Lost 15 Pounds Using This Supplement” and linked it directly to my YouTube video.

This strategy drove buyer-intent traffic. The result? 600 views, 5 purchases, and over $1,000 earned.

Ready to Scale This?

That’s the full blueprint. Subscribers don’t matter. Monetization doesn’t matter. A smart strategy is what matters.

After seeing these results, I realized the massive potential of YouTube automation. I started another channel, Geekbot AI, and the income exploded from three streams:

1. Sponsorships: Brands like Wondershare paid over $5,000 for integrations because the videos delivered results.

2. Affiliate Marketing: Across multiple platforms like PayKickStart, this channel has generated over $40,000.

3. Digital Products: I created my own course and made over $20,000 passively from organic traffic.

In total, this faceless YouTube automation model has brought in over $100,000.

This isn’t about virality; it’s about building a system that pays you from every direction.

Will you be the person who keeps watching other people win, or will you finally decide it’s your turn?

This niche is exploding. People are making life-changing money not because they’re famous, but because they started.
