Made with Ziztu: The ENTIRE History of Rome in 4 Minutes (Rise & Fall Explained). $375 a day is the challenge's goal, not a promise.

Why I built this

I tried to make faceless reels and YouTube videos at scale with other AI tools, and I could not get the quality I wanted.

Ziztu grew out of those failures, and it has been the best experience I have had making them. Those failures are why every step here exists.

    After day 30

    Work toward the Partner Program

    Money from YouTube ads starts when the channel meets YouTube's thresholds and follows its rules. The guide shows both, with the sources.

    Tool: The Partner Program path

    Bright Side, a faceless YouTube channel, makes an estimated $80,000 to $250,000 a month from YouTube ads.An estimate from Peeksy Dashboard, as reported by GoFaceless, updated 11 Oct 2026. It is not a promise of what you will earn.

    YouTube pays ad revenue to channels in its Partner Program: 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 public watch hours in the last 12 months, or 1,000 subscribers and 10 million public Shorts views in the last 90 days, plus its other rules. The guide has the details and the source.

Questions

Do I have to show my face?

No. The films are narrated, with pictures, maps and diagrams. Nobody appears on camera.

How long does one video take?

In our test on 29 Oct 2026, a 5-minute Basic film was made in about 11 minutes, from one click to the finished video. That was one run, so yours can differ with the length and the quality you pick. You still read the script and check the facts before you upload.

Can these videos be monetized on YouTube?

Possibly, but nobody can promise it. YouTube pays ad revenue to channels in its Partner Program: 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 public watch hours in the last 12 months, or 1,000 subscribers and 10 million public Shorts views in the last 90 days, plus other rules. YouTube's policy on "inauthentic content" says mass-produced or repetitive videos are not eligible to earn, including AI videos made from generic templates that add no original insight. Original, researched videos that add something of your own are what the rules allow. YouTube also asks you to label realistic altered or synthetic content. The guide links all three Help pages. Open the guide.

What does it cost?

Your first 2-minute film is free, with no card. It needs a confirmed email. After it, more films need a plan: see the pricing page. Open the pricing page.

What does the free film need?

A free account with a confirmed email. Your first 2-minute film in the AI YouTube Video Maker is free, once per account.

Does Ziztu upload to YouTube for me?

No. It makes the video and the publish pack. You download them and upload the video yourself, so every film goes live only when you decide.
