Videos push forward new startups from zero to multimillion-dollar companies because 85% of customers watch videos before buying products. Today when SEO takes many months if not years of getting first results, PPC breaks any pocket – videos bring sales in the beginning: fast and affordable.
The main reason is social media prefer fresh content that retains the watchers longer. Accounts with zero followers can beat old-fashioned accounts if they film more engagement video content.
Austin Armstrong joins us to share his methods and some secrets of becoming successful on social media with faceless videos and AI automation. He is not one more expert who can teach others – he is a real practitioner with 3 million followers on his accounts, who helps others to get +100 million views monthly.

Questions:
You wrote on your LinkedIn bio that your AI startup helps content creators create, schedule and publish videos in minutes. Today too many channels can’t stand out from the rest. That is why quality matters and it takes time from producing ideas to production, publishing and boosting videos. So, can you describe how you do this process fast without losing quality.
You film videos by showing your face. For example, when I watch your videos, it creates the trust feeling, but our main topic is to film faceless videos. I’m assuming that someone is not confident in camera, shy or something else. Can you describe how to create this trust feeling with faceless videos?
I know many companies are extending globally for other countries and videos can help them to win new customers, but it creates the main problem of creating high-quality content on different languages with AI avatars or setting lipstick. My team tried various online tools and can say, that none of them bring high-quality videos that look like humans. I’m pretty sure AI avatars will win the market in a few years, but is it ready today?
When TikTok became a thing, many B2B companies and experts said that the audience consists of kids. It’s just wasted time. But today almost all B2B brands post there content. What I can see that most of this content is for brand awareness. Can you tell on how to mix brand awareness and sales on TikTok.
Let’s talk about AI tools including yours. ChatGPT has Sora and invideo. Gemini has Veo 3. There are too many other options online that generate AI avatars, voices, sounds, videos, etc. I’m a decision maker who have no experience of editing video content, but have a team of video designers who use popular tools. Can you give me a strong reason to tell my team to use syllably instead of alternatives.
GaryVee said that TikTok changed social media to interest media and today the number of followers doesn’t matter. The most important element is retention rate and willingness to watch more. Can you explain on how to retain users as long as possible.
If I have a choice between a million views without sales and a few hundreds views with sales, then my choice is second. Can you say on how to sell on videos and avoid over sales that decrease retention.
Headlines and thumbnails are very important for CTR. For example, Mrbeast spends 5,000 dollars for one thumbnail to get +100 million videos on each video.
I checked your websites with our Unmiss website audit tool and can tell that most content valuable including texts and technical optimization, but simple twists with meta tags titles can bring a lot more traffic. Can you tell your methods of SEO or GEO for your websites:
