About EarnFacts

Why this site exists

Most of what's written about making money online comes from someone with a course or a tool to sell, and the numbers tend to be the optimistic ones. EarnFacts is the opposite: honest, sourced data on what online-income models actually earn — including the part most guides skip, which is that most people earn very little and a small number earn a lot.

Who runs it

My name is Adam. I spent 22 years as a commercial construction estimator — the job is measuring quantities off a set of drawings and standing behind numbers that other people are about to spend real money on. If a figure is wrong, it's wrong in dollars, and it's yours to answer for. That's the one habit I brought here: rigor with figures, and sourcing every number rather than repeating it.

That background makes me careful with numbers. It does not make me an expert on faceless YouTube, TikTok Shop, or print-on-demand — those are different worlds from estimating, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise.

I have not run a faceless YouTube channel, a TikTok Shop, or a print-on-demand store. I don't sell a course and I'm not going to tell you I got rich doing any of this. What I do is read the primary sources, check the math, label the scope, and report what the numbers actually say — including when the answer is that most people earn almost nothing.

How I handle the numbers

• Every figure is sourced. If I can't link a number to where it came from, it doesn't go on the page.
• Scope is labeled. When data is for all of YouTube rather than faceless channels specifically, or is a vendor's estimate rather than a measured fact, I say so right next to the number.
• I show the whole distribution. The honest spread — most earn little, a few earn a lot — is the point, not a footnote.
• No income promises. Nothing here predicts what you'll earn. The figures describe what others have earned, with their limits attached.

The full rulebook — sourcing, scope labeling, distribution honesty, corrections, and what this site will never do — lives on the editorial standards page.

How the site makes money

A few of the tools I recommend are affiliate partners, so I may earn a commission if you sign up through a link — at no extra cost to you. A commission never changes what I recommend or the order it appears in. See the affiliate disclosure for the full list.

Where it's headed

EarnFacts started with one income model — faceless / automated YouTube — and now covers three: faceless YouTube, TikTok Shop affiliate, and print-on-demand. More models may follow, each researched and sourced the same way before it goes up.
