"Ghost Protocol": How to run a 6-figure video agency without a camera, mic, or face.
Category: Monetization Guide
Excerpt:
You don't need charisma to build an audience. You need a system. This tutorial reveals the "Ghost Protocol"—a faceless automation workflow using ChatGPT (The Writer) and Pictory (The Editor). We strip away the complexity of Premiere Pro and filming, leaving only the pure profit mechanism: turning text into high-retention video assets. Includes copy-paste prompts and a "Blog-to-Video" monetization roadmap.

Why "Faceless" Wins (The Logic)
When you film yourself, you obsess over lighting, your hair, and your stumbling words. One video takes 2 days. You burn out in a month.
Faceless video is manufacturing. Script -> Audio -> Visuals. It's repeatable. You can make 5 videos in the time it takes to film 1.
The Tech Stack
Writes the scripts. Not just words, but visual cues.
Reads the script, finds stock footage, and syncs voiceover automatically.
Quality control. You ensure the AI didn't do something stupid.
Execution Protocol (The Step-by-Step)
Follow this exact sequence. Do not skip the "Script Prompting" step—it is 80% of the quality.
Most people fail because they ask generic questions. You need to force ChatGPT to write for retention. Copy this prompt exactly:
I want to create a Faceless YouTube Video about: [INSERT TOPIC] Write a 300-word script. Strict Rules: 1. No "Welcome back to the channel" intros. Start with a Hook immediately. 2. Use short, punchy sentences. (Visuals will change every 3 seconds). 3. Tone: [Serious/Motivational/Educational]. 4. Highlight the most important keyword in every sentence in [brackets] so I know what visual to match. 5. End with a specific call to action.
Go to the Audio tab.
- Voiceover: Select "Standard AI". Pick "Matthew" (Male) or "Danielle" (Female) for the most natural sound. Avoid the robotic ones.
- Background Music: Filter by "Mood" -> "Dramatic" or "Happy". Set volume to 10%. (Default is often too loud).
- Export: 1080p. The video is now an asset.
Mission: Monetize (The "Blog-to-Video" Service)
Do not just upload to YouTube and wait for AdSense. That takes too long. The fastest money is selling this as a service.
- Find a niche blog (e.g., "Solar Panel Installation Tips").
- Take their most popular article.
- Run it through Pictory's "Article to Video" feature (paste URL).
- It generates a video summary in 3 minutes.
- Email the blog owner with the watermarked video.
Subject: I turned your post about [Topic] into a video Hi [Name], I was reading your article on [Topic] and thought it was excellent. I know video is huge right now, but it's a pain to produce. I took the liberty of turning that article into a 60-second video for LinkedIn/TikTok. Here is the draft (attached). If you like it, I can do this for all your top articles. No cameras, no hassle. Best, [Your Name]
