Started to run Faceless YouTube channels in September 2024 while keeping my full-time job. 2-4 hours every single day for 20 months straight. Month 2 I made €5k, month 3 €7k, month 4 €5k. After that, 1-2k here and there but never consistent. Since November 2025 I haven’t earned a cent.

3 paid mentorships so far. First one got me started, second was advanced techniques, third sharpened ideation and packaging. Spending €1000+/month on tools, subs, content costs. I’m in debt at this point.

Here’s the part that messes with my head. I paired on a channel with a guy making €20k/month and my videos consistently outperformed his. Better numbers on the shared channel from my side… I was outperforming his inputs and it can actually be easily measured with the stats, and I had more discipline while we were working together too, I can name multiple situations where this was obvious.

Another mentor (not a grifter, actually respected in the field) wanted me to coach in his program and told me I’d be at €10k/month within a few months. Then he ghosted.

Never hit €10k. Meanwhile guys from my first coaching cohort, whom I was also measurably better than at the time are now making serious money €20k+ months).

I run faceless type content. The “inauthentic wave” on youtube is killing a lot of channels right now, but the weird thing is the people still pulling crazy numbers and haven’t moved to live hosts from Fiverr or on-camera setups.

They’re still running similar formats to mine. So it’s not a format-wide death.

I have one channel right now getting small traction. The others are dead.

Two options I’m weighing:

1.	4th coaching. This one’s cheap compared to the others and it’s what helped one of the guys I outperformed get to €20k. Kill the dead channels, cancel subs, push hard on the channel with traction.

2.	Pivot to affiliate marketing with Meta ads. Save €3k, start fresh in a new domain. Marketing is something that is also really interesting to me and I feel like it is more of a shot for the moon compared to YT and what results can be achieved there.

6 months of zero has put me deep in learned-helplessness territory and I’m worried the affiliate marketing idea is just me trying to escape rather than an actual strategic pivot. I have one leading indicator (the channel with small traction) and that’s it.
If you were in my shoes, push or pivot? And if push, what would actually be different about a 4th coaching versus just grinding longer on what I already know?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Hey, do I need to join the $1000 skool community to be able to call Alex on his show or ask him a question?

Hey, I’m sitting in the office (or more like on the toilet so I don’t have to do anything lol) and I legit feel like throwing up every time I look at that fucking Outlook. Seriously, who came up with the idea that a person has to spend 40 hours a week doing some bullshit just to survive?

I’m not some lazy idiot, but the thought that I’m gonna spend the next 40 years staring at a monitor or hauling boxes somewhere is totally depressing me. I wake up in the morning, outside it’s disgusting, dark, people smell like week-old cheese, and I’m supposed to pretend I give a shit about some report or deadline. Bro, what fucking deadline? The only deadline I care about is when I finally die so I don’t have to deal with this crap anymore.

The best part is those motivational dickheads on LinkedIn. “Find a job you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.”
• Yeah sure bro, I love sleeping, drinking beer, and watching YouTube...show me a company that’ll pay me 50k net for that and I’ll send my résumé immediately.

I seriously don’t understand how grown adults handle this. My old man worked in a factory for 30 years and acts like it’s fine. I’ve been back from vacation for one week and I already want to burn this whole place down and go live under a bridge...at least there I wouldn’t have to deal with ASAP emails from a boss whose ego is bigger than his salary.

Does anyone else feel like this too? Or am I really the only one who thinks this whole system is complete dogshit and we should all go back to living in the woods gathering berries and hunting mammoths? At least that’d be fun and people would get some real cardio instead of this fucking scoliosis from sitting in a chair all day.

Seriously, I’m done. Gonna get my sixth coffee and hope the ceiling falls on my head. Fuck this.

Just what the title says... I am looking for a mini job. I do not speak German that well (A2).

I would like to get a mini job preferably some manual work or security work, basically something that is not in Gastro lol. Is it possible to find a minijob like this in today's Berlin Economy?

I genuinely struggle with both. The whole process planning what to make, actually cooking it, and then facing a pile of dishes after feels impossible most days. So I've basically defaulted to eating PB&J because it's the path of least resistance.

The thing is, I actually care about eating healthy and getting enough protein. I just can't seem to make it happen consistently.

For those of you who've figured this out how do you do it? I'm looking for meals that are:
- Fast to make (like, actually fast)
- High in protein
- healthy (good for longevity)
- Cheap
- Minimal dishes / easy cleanup

things I don't like:
Eggs(ate too many of them and now I can't stand them)
Dairy

What are your go-to meals or strategies? Any ADHD specific hacks for making cooking less of a nightmare would be hugely appreciated.

Hey, I want to feed Claude all tweets from 10+ profiles, so I could then use it as a custom chatbot giving me all the data from those tweets. I don't need anything fancy. What is the simplest/fastest way to do this?
