How she earns: She runs several "faceless YouTube" channels made with AI without showing her face. She is reported to earn roughly $40K–$60K a month, with Fortune having verified ad-payment records and analytics dashboards. Her top earners are long-form, six-hour-class "history to sleep to" videos. (Figures as of end of 2025, based on self-supplied materials.)

How she does it: She drafts scripts and visuals with Claude, adds voice narration with ElevenLabs, and runs everything almost automatically on a production pipeline built by her co-operator. She manages multiple channels with about two hours of monitoring a day.

What you can learn: A concrete example showing that AI content at scale translates directly into ad revenue. There's room to expand sideways by changing the subject or language, and it's easy to apply in the Japanese-language market too. On the other hand, there's criticism that "mass production = low quality," so how you guarantee quality becomes the key to standing out.
