How We Discovered Sicily Ancient History
Our CEO, Cole Gonzales, was scrolling through his personal social media accounts when he stumbled upon a viral Instagram reel from this faceless creator with over 40,000 views.
The video stood out because it looked like it was created using OSSA.AI.
Intrigued, Cole clicked on the profile and discovered that Sicily Ancient History was an OSSA.AI user.
What he found was extraordinary: within just 6 weeks, the account had skyrocketed from zero followers to nearly 33,100 followers, positioning themselves within the top 5,500 creators in the United States. One standout video achieved an impressive 1.5 million views, a feat never before accomplished with nearly unaltered AI-generated short-form video on social media.
Even more impressive, each video on their Instagram averages 57,000 views.
With recent consent to share their success, we're excited to highlight SicilyAncientHistory's remarkable growth and the potential impact on their digital business. We aim to update this blog post with their insights on how they have done this once we meet with the owner of this account.

Unprecedented Success with AI-Driven Content
39 uploads, 33,000+ followers. I don't know about you, but I can't think of any other platform in the world that can help someone generate these types of results in such a short amount of time.
What excites us even more, beyond the numbers, is the obvious passion this individual has for the history of Sicily. We are proud to enable them to focus on their passion—without the technical challenges of traditional content creation.
The fact that we can confidently say this individual generated a video that achieved over 1.5 million views in just minutes on our platform is remarkable.
We are the only AI-video generation platform in the world that successfully bridges the gap between having zero content creation experience and the ability to grow a social media following. (More on this later.)

Breakdown of Sicily Ancient History's Success
A common theme among our top OSSA.AI users is their clarity on three key aspects:
- Target Audience: Who are you creating content for?
- Niche: What is your content about?
- Branding: How do you make your content recognizable and familiar?
Before creating your first video, you need to understand who you are speaking to. Otherwise, you are just shooting in the dark. We always recommend picking something you are passionate about and then following our step-by-step process provided in our Skool community.
Your niche is the overarching theme of your content. It's clear that the niche for this account is facts and information on Sicily's ancient history.
Branding is probably the simplest part, yet one of the most important. Notice how the profile picture is simple yet memorable. Their username clearly represents their niche and the type of content they are creating.
Lastly, the actual content leverages the same style, color of font, image style, and pacing. If you look at their videos, all follow the same style and "vibe."
OSSA.AI was built to make this possible. Our CEO, @Colewherld, understands the nuances of content creation with his background of 7 million followers and over 4 billion short-form views.

Sicily’s Monetization Strategy
Let's address the elephant in the room.
How is this OSSA.AI user making money doing this?
There are many ways to get paid on social media, but here are the three main methods our users are focusing on:
- Creator Fund Programs: Programs like the TikTok Creator Program pay creators anywhere from $1 - $3 per 1,000 qualified views. The YouTube Partner Program pays based on various factors, but the payment per thousand views is much lower than TikTok. (This method requires zero extra work other than applying once eligible.)
- Online Store or Business: SicilyAncientHistory is focused on this, as seen in their profile. They have linked their business website in their bio. (We are yet to speak directly with this user, but once we have metrics around sales made from the 2.5 million+ views, we will share them in the free Skool community and update this blog post.)
- Paid Skool Community/Courses: One of our top users, @combatcitdel on TikTok, has created a free Skool community linked in his bio, where he sells paid courses and niche-specific products.
- Newsletters: Users like Brad Gaines have created newsletters, collect emails, and use programs like Beehive Boosts to monetize their newsletter audience or sell products to their community.
How you monetize your audience is up to you and your business goals. We always recommend creating a business around your brand instead of just relying on creator programs. Once you qualify for the TikTok Creator Program, it will pay for your subscription many times over.
A great concept to learn more about is Rented Versus an Owned Audience, covered by one of the creators that support us, Clark Gary, in this livestream.
Taking steps to own your audience is always recommended, faceless content or not.
The Power of Repurposing Content
You may not notice at first glance, but all of the content posted to @sicilysancienthistor's on Instagram was initially posted to TikTok, which currently has around 9,000 followers (as of 09/25/2024).
What is repurposing content?
It is simply taking a video that has already been posted on one platform, such as TikTok, and posting it on another platform, such as Instagram or YouTube.
As you can see below, there are over 120 videos posted to the @sicilysancienthistory TikTok account.
But why is there only 39 videos so far on their Instagram page?
This faceless creator simply repurposed their top-performing videos from their TikTok account to their Instagram account.
If you are completely new to repurposing content, it is much simpler than you think. Our CEO created a free step-by-step repurposing guide.

The Next Generation of Content Creators
Before OSSA.AI, nearly everyone who had not created content before found it difficult to create, grow, and monetize a social media presence.
OSSA.AI has revolutionized this process, empowering anyone to achieve these goals. Even individuals with little to no experience in content creation are now successfully building substantial social media followings using our platform.
Since launching OSSA.AI in early 2024, our mission has been to make influence accessible to everyone. Our CEO, Cole Gonzales, has always been passionate about supporting and uplifting aspiring content creators.
We believe that every person has a unique story to share. It’s an inherent human desire to build communities and connect with others who share your passions.
The phenomenal achievements of this faceless creator demonstrate a truly innovative breakthrough—you can share your passion, cultivate a community of like-minded individuals, and monetize that passion in an exceptionally short timeframe—all without ever having to show your face.
