How I Actually Make $2-3k/Month With Faceless AI Videos on My iPhone (My Private Notes
My actual private notes – how I pull $2-3k/month with faceless AI videos on iPhone (still working Nov 2025)
started july 2025
first month $48
now averaging $2100-$3200
never showed face once
niches that still print money
1. rain on windows (different angles)
2. fireplace loops
3. snow falling outside coffee shop
4. night city drive + lofi
5. slow space fly-through
tools i actually use (all free)
luma photon → 20-25s base clip
kling when i want realistic people in background
capcut → loop + free rain/fire sounds from pixabay
elevenlabs free tier → soft whisper voice if needed (3000 chars)
upload schedule that works
4 channels
3-5 shorts per channel per day
takes me 45-60 mins total while drinking bad coffee
current earnings breakdown
youtube shorts → biggest earner ($4-9 rpm with usa/uk traffic)
tiktok creativity → $0.04-0.07 per 1000
facebook reels → still pays decent
ig reels bonus → random $200-800 drops
highest earner right now
10-min fireplace loop → 31 million views across platforms → paid rent for 5 months straight
daily routine (lazy version)
wake up → make 4 clips → upload → forget → money shows up
biggest surprises
one snow video from january still makes $70-120 every week
cat by rainy window (i don’t own a cat) → 28m views
mistakes i made early
used copyrighted music → instant zero revenue
tried to be “creative” → nobody watched
posted once a week → died
current costs
literally $0
phone i already had
all tools free
still feels fake sometimes
every payout i wait for the “oops sorry” email
hasn’t come yet
if you’re shy or lazy like me
make one 60-second rain loop tonight
upload to shorts + tiktok
go sleep
check tomorrow
worst case nothing happens
best case you stop worrying about rent
these are literally the notes i keep in my phone
nothing polished
just what works
see you in the comments when your first $100 hits
