[0:00] Can I show you faceless AI YouTube
[0:02] niches that [music] are insanely viral,
[0:04] getting millions of views that I can
[0:07] prove are [music] actually being
[0:08] monetized? And can I show you the
[0:10] prompts and AI models that I use to make
[0:13] videos [music] exactly like these two?
[0:15] Well, that's the challenge I have set
[0:16] myself today. So, thank you to Higsfield
[0:18] AI for sponsoring today's [music] video.
[0:20] And for now, let's just jump straight
[0:22] into it. And we'll start with the first
[0:23] faceless niche, which is this history
[0:26] recreation videos. Yes, this one is
[0:28] super cool. This is a niche that has
[0:30] been popping off recently and it is
[0:32] popping off big time. People are getting
[0:34] hundreds of thousands to millions of
[0:36] views creating videos which use AI to
[0:38] recreate people and places in history to
[0:41] make it easier to imagine what it all
[0:43] actually looked like. For example, take
[0:45] this video here that has gotten over 2.3
[0:48] million views. It combines AI images
[0:50] with some AI videos together to recreate
[0:52] the history of London and it has an AI
[0:55] voice on top explaining each event as it
[0:57] takes place. It's honestly pretty cool,
[1:00] especially the AI video portions. And
[1:02] so, as a result, people love it and it's
[1:05] growing super fast. They've had lots of
[1:07] long- form videos gained hundreds of
[1:08] thousands to over a million views. And
[1:11] if you pop this channel into
[1:12] SocialBlade, the YouTube channel
[1:14] tracker, you'll see that across the
[1:15] shorts and long videos of this channel,
[1:17] they've gained over 76 million views
[1:20] with a very nice estimated yearly ad
[1:22] earnings range, too. However, of course,
[1:26] this only matters if AI history
[1:28] recreation videos are actually eligible
[1:31] to get monetized, right? Which is why
[1:34] you need to know about the thanks and
[1:35] join button trick because this lets you
[1:37] check if channels in a faceless niche
[1:39] are actually being monetized before you
[1:42] start a channel in it. Yep. So, you
[1:43] might have noticed that some of the
[1:45] channels on YouTube have a join button
[1:47] that lets you join a paid membership
[1:49] program with different tiers that get
[1:51] you exclusive content or features. And
[1:53] you also might have noticed and seen
[1:54] that some videos have a little thanks
[1:56] button that you can click and tip the
[1:58] creator cash. Well, to turn on either
[2:00] memberships or thanks or both, creators
[2:03] need to be in the YouTube monetization
[2:06] partner program as these are optional
[2:08] features only available to monetized
[2:10] channels. Although, as they are
[2:12] optional, lots of channels don't turn
[2:14] them on even if they can. So, just
[2:17] because you don't see either of these
[2:18] buttons on a channel doesn't mean that
[2:20] the channel is not monetized. A lot of
[2:23] creators, such as myself, choose to not
[2:25] turn on memberships because it is extra
[2:28] work to have to manage them. And a lot
[2:30] of creators don't bother turning on the
[2:32] thanks button because honestly, very few
[2:35] viewers actually do leave a tip anyway,
[2:38] which is fair enough, you know. But this
[2:40] trick is still useful because let's say
[2:42] that you are interested in a niche. You
[2:44] can check over multiple channels in the
[2:46] niche to see if any of them have turned
[2:48] these features on. And if they have, you
[2:50] know, their videos are being monetized.
[2:53] So then, if you're interested in
[2:54] starting a channel in this niche, let me
[2:56] show you how I made my own AI historical
[2:59] clip using frame to video, which is when
[3:01] you generate an AI image and then turn
[3:03] it into a video. It's a simple yet
[3:05] effective process, and to do it, I'll be
[3:07] using the video creation tool
[3:08] Hicksfield. So, I just logged in and
[3:10] clicked to generate an image with Nano
[3:12] Banana Pro. And also, full disclosure,
[3:14] as I said earlier, Higsfield agreed to
[3:16] sponsor today's video, and I wanted to
[3:18] use it because what makes Higsfield
[3:20] unique is it combines all of the top
[3:22] video and image generators into a single
[3:24] website. This makes it convenient if,
[3:27] like I will be, you use different images
[3:29] and different video models and you don't
[3:31] want to have to pay for subscriptions to
[3:32] multiple platforms to get access to
[3:35] watermark free images and videos. Plus,
[3:37] as you'll see, I will also use the
[3:39] latest Cling video model a lot. And when
[3:42] I priced it out, it was actually cheaper
[3:44] to use Cling through Higsfield rather
[3:46] than Clling's own website. But yes,
[3:49] check out the image Nano Banana made for
[3:51] me. Love it. So, I downloaded this
[3:53] picture. Then next, I came and opened up
[3:55] the Cling 3.0 video model. And I picked
[3:57] this because honestly, most creators are
[4:00] on a budget and AI videos can be
[4:02] expensive. And Cling 3.0 O is in my
[4:05] opinion probably the best balance right
[4:07] now between price and results for
[4:09] creators who can't afford to spend
[4:11] hundreds of dollars per month on
[4:12] subscription plans. Plus, it includes
[4:14] sound effects, too. It's pretty cool.
[4:17] Check it out.
[4:23] All right, onto the next niche.
[4:24] Impossible ASMR videos. And like with
[4:27] the history recreation videos, this is a
[4:30] niche that has been popping off in the
[4:31] last few months, getting millions of
[4:33] views. People generate videos of
[4:35] impossible things like crazy beds,
[4:38] staircases, pools, things like that. And
[4:40] if you listen to them, you'll see that
[4:42] they have generated sounds as well,
[4:44] which is why they are labeled as ASMR
[4:46] videos. Like, take this one. It's had
[4:48] over 38 million views in the past 3
[4:51] months. We'll give it a quick watch and
[4:53] listen, and you'll see what I mean.
[5:03] And it's kind of crazy, right? This
[5:04] channel has been posting videos now for
[5:06] just 3 months. Yet, if we check it out
[5:08] on SocialBlade, it's already had over 64
[5:10] million long- form views, which
[5:12] unsurprisingly means its estimated
[5:15] average yearly ad earnings range is also
[5:17] very nice, too. But, of course, the
[5:20] question is this. Can this niche even be
[5:22] monetized? And well, the answer is yes.
[5:25] Yes, it is. I found multiple channels in
[5:27] it that had the thanks button or
[5:29] memberships turned on in their videos,
[5:31] which means they are in the partner
[5:33] program. So, if you're interested in
[5:35] making videos in this niche yourself,
[5:37] let me show you how I made a clip in
[5:39] this niche, too. So, first off, I came
[5:41] to my favorite image generator for
[5:43] realistic pictures, Nano Banana Pro, to
[5:45] generate an image for me, which it did
[5:47] no problem. Then, I came to clean 3.0 O
[5:50] and I again used the frame to video
[5:52] option to turn the picture into a video
[5:54] and I made sure that sound effects were
[5:56] turned on since these are crucial for
[5:58] the ASMR component and then I made the
[6:01] video. So check out what it made.
[6:08] So onto the next faceless AI niche, cozy
[6:11] anime videos. Yep, this is another niche
[6:14] that has been popping off in the past
[6:15] few months because previously AI video
[6:18] generators struggled with anime, but
[6:20] recent advances mean that finally it can
[6:23] actually do it. And as a result, anime
[6:25] videos that give off a cozy, calming
[6:27] vibe have been going super viral on
[6:30] YouTube recently. So, for example, you
[6:32] take this cute video here, right? In the
[6:34] past 3 months, it's gained over 2.3
[6:36] million views. It tells a cozy little
[6:39] story of a family going on a camper van
[6:41] trip to the beach. And here's the thing,
[6:43] right? There is actually a pretty simple
[6:45] calculation you can do to try to
[6:47] estimate the ad revenue that a video
[6:49] like this could have earned. Basically,
[6:52] the way that it works is that on
[6:53] YouTube, creators like me get paid by
[6:55] splitting ad revenue with YouTube. And
[6:57] how much we earn depends on what
[6:59] advertisers are willing to pay. So, the
[7:01] amount of money that we get paid
[7:03] generally does change from video to
[7:05] video, but on average, YouTube usually
[7:07] pays us creators about $3 to $8 per
[7:10] 1,000 views, which in other words means
[7:13] the average RPM rate. So, if you do the
[7:16] math, you can take this RPM rate and
[7:18] then you could take the amount of views
[7:20] that the video has gotten and then you
[7:22] can figure out the average expected ad
[7:24] revenue that you would get from a video
[7:26] like this. But of course, this only
[7:29] matters if YouTube actually monetizes
[7:32] cozy anime videos like this, right? So,
[7:35] I checked and yep, I discovered multiple
[7:37] cozy anime channels had either turned
[7:39] the memberships button on or the thanks
[7:42] button on showing that they are in the
[7:44] partner program. So, this time to save
[7:46] credits, I actually came to Nano Banana
[7:48] 2 instead of Nano Banana Pro. Like,
[7:50] don't get me wrong, I love the Pro
[7:52] model, but for images that don't need to
[7:54] be hyper realistic, Google's cheaper
[7:57] image generator, Nano Banana 2, is
[7:59] usually just as good. So, I asked it to
[8:02] create my image in a cozy cinematic
[8:04] anime style. And check it out. This is
[8:06] what it made for me. Very cool. So, I
[8:09] downloaded it. Then, I came back and
[8:10] selected Cling 3.0 from the menu. And
[8:13] again, I did the frame to video option,
[8:15] noting this time in the prompt box that
[8:17] I wanted it to animate it in a classic
[8:19] cinematic anime style. So, check out the
[8:22] video that it made.
[8:28] Super cute, right? So, on to the next
[8:30] niche. But first, if you are enjoying
[8:33] this video, please do consider giving it
[8:35] a like. I make a lot of tutorials on
[8:37] this channel about how to use AI tools,
[8:39] and there are a lot of people that don't
[8:41] like AI that leave a lot of hateful
[8:44] comments, which honestly can be very
[8:46] demotivating, but it is on the flip side
[8:49] very motivating when people do click
[8:52] like and comment nice things. So, if you
[8:54] do choose to click like, thank you. It
[8:57] genuinely means a lot to me. All righty,
[8:59] onto the next niche, which is this AI
[9:02] music channels. Yes. So if you don't
[9:04] know what these are, they are basically
[9:06] channels that upload videos that are
[9:07] usually 1 plus hour long that contain a
[9:10] compilation of music tracks that are AI
[9:12] generated. These videos and channels are
[9:14] usually themed around a particular
[9:15] genre, topic or vibe. And as you can
[9:18] see, these videos can get millions of
[9:20] views. Like take this video here. It was
[9:22] posted just 7 months ago and it's
[9:24] already had over 3.6 million views.
[9:27] Which again, if you do the math and you
[9:29] take the average RPM, you can figure out
[9:31] that this is a very nice estimated
[9:34] amount of ad revenue. But of course,
[9:37] this only matters if the channel itself
[9:39] can be monetized, right? And so, check
[9:41] it out. This channel has a paid
[9:43] membership turned on, meaning it's part
[9:45] of the partner program. And making your
[9:47] own AI music to turn into a compilation
[9:49] is pretty easy. Almost all creators
[9:52] these days are using this AI tool, So,
[9:55] you literally just open up So, type in
[9:57] what you want your song to be about and
[9:59] what viable theme it should have, and
[10:01] that's it. It'll generate a new song for
[10:03] you. So, here is a snippet of one of the
[10:05] songs it made for me. Check it out.
[10:15] [music]
[10:19] Pretty
[10:22] [music]
[10:25] cool, right? But now the question is,
[10:27] what about the visuals? So, probably the
[10:29] most popular type of visuals is to do
[10:31] what this video here does and create
[10:33] some sort of looping animation that you
[10:35] can play on top of your music. And if
[10:37] you know the start to end trick,
[10:38] creating a looping animation is pretty
[10:40] simple to do. So, what I did was I
[10:42] opened Nano Banana. If you're creating a
[10:44] cartoon scene, you can use either
[10:46] version. Although if you're making a
[10:48] photo realalistic scene, again, I'd use
[10:50] Nano Banana Pro. But either way, I got
[10:53] it to generate a starting picture for
[10:54] me, and I got it to make multiple
[10:56] options to pick from. And out of these,
[10:58] this one was my favorite. So, I
[11:00] downloaded this picture. Then next, I
[11:02] came and opened up the Cling 3.0 video
[11:04] generator and I uploaded this image and
[11:07] placed it in the starting frame. And
[11:09] then I did something else. I also placed
[11:11] it as the final frame. And then I
[11:14] prompted Cling telling it what I wanted
[11:15] the animation to do. And I changed the
[11:18] length from 5 seconds to 15 seconds. And
[11:20] then I generated the animation. And so
[11:23] check it out. Because I made the
[11:25] starting frame the exact same image as
[11:27] the final frame for this clip, it means
[11:29] I have created a perfect loop. I can
[11:32] copy and paste this clip as many times
[11:35] as I want, and it will seamlessly loop
[11:37] over and over again across all of my
[11:40] music. But here's the thing, right? You
[11:43] don't just have to create one loop.
[11:45] Nope. You can come here and run the same
[11:47] prompt multiple times to generate
[11:49] multiple clips. Then what you can do is
[11:52] you can take the clips that you have
[11:53] created and combine them together. Since
[11:55] all the clips you've generated have the
[11:57] exact same image as the first frame and
[12:00] the last frame. This means that you can
[12:01] copy and paste your clips throughout
[12:03] your video in any order that you like to
[12:05] vary up what exactly is happening in the
[12:07] scene and it will play together
[12:09] seamlessly. So, for example, you could
[12:11] go ahead and generate 10 different
[12:13] scenes and then mix and match them
[12:15] throughout your video to keep the
[12:16] visuals interesting. It's really just up
[12:19] to you and your imagination. Okay, then
[12:21] let's now move on to the next niche, AI
[12:24] motivational stories. Yes, this niche
[12:26] has had a huge resurgence lately,
[12:28] becoming very trendy again. Basically,
[12:30] if you don't know what these are, they
[12:31] are videos where some sort of
[12:32] inspirational or self-help story is
[12:34] told, oftent times related to a parable.
[12:37] And what's interesting is that most of
[12:39] the time these videos don't even include
[12:41] animations. Instead, they just use
[12:43] pictures for their visuals. For example,
[12:46] this video here is just AI images with
[12:48] an AI voice over. And it's kind of
[12:50] crazy, but it's had over 3.9 million
[12:54] views. And again, if we use that RPM
[12:56] calculation from before, we can estimate
[12:58] that 3.6 million views would be a nice
[13:01] amount of ad revenue. But as we've
[13:04] established, this only works if
[13:06] motivational story channels are actually
[13:07] getting monetized. So, I went and
[13:09] checked and yes, I found multiple
[13:11] channels in this niche that either had
[13:13] memberships turned on or had the thanks
[13:15] button turned on, proving that they are
[13:17] in the partner program. So, yeah, if you
[13:19] want to try these out for yourself, you
[13:21] can use either Nano Banana Pro or Nano
[13:23] Banana 2 to make the images for these.
[13:25] If you want a photo realalistic style
[13:27] for your images, I'd recommend the pro
[13:29] version. But for cartoon images, then a
[13:31] Banana 2 usually works just as good. And
[13:33] here is a quick tip. If you have access
[13:35] to Higsfield like me, this is currently
[13:38] by far the fastest way to make
[13:39] image-based story videos because they
[13:41] have a feature called Popcorn, which
[13:43] lets you upload an image as the starting
[13:45] image and then explain how you want the
[13:48] rest of your scene in your story to play
[13:50] out and then it will generate up to
[13:52] seven images for you. And it will also
[13:54] keep the character visuals pretty
[13:55] consistent throughout the scenes as
[13:57] well. So yeah, it is way quicker using
[13:59] this rather than having to come up with
[14:01] a new prompt and generate each image
[14:04] individually as part of your story
[14:06] narrative. But yes, let's now move on to
[14:08] the next niche which is this religion
[14:11] and spirituality visualization. Yes. So
[14:14] this is actually quite similar to the
[14:15] history recreation niche if you think
[14:17] about it because with that creators
[14:19] recreate history using AI images and
[14:21] videos so that people can actually see
[14:23] with their own eyes what historical
[14:25] places and events would look like which
[14:27] is what this niche does. It takes places
[14:29] or events in religious texts and
[14:32] recreates them based off of their
[14:33] descriptions to make them easier to
[14:35] visualize. For example, you take this
[14:37] channel here. They produced multiple
[14:39] shorter videos visualizing the book of
[14:42] Revelation as an ongoing series. And
[14:44] then once the series was over, they then
[14:47] released them as one large video over an
[14:49] hour long that got over 2.3 million
[14:52] views as a way to repurpose them. And as
[14:54] you can see, this channel has the join
[14:56] button turned on. So yeah, it is in the
[14:58] partner program and it is being
[15:00] monetized. And so just like with the
[15:02] history recreation niche, I would
[15:04] absolutely only use Nano Banana Pro here
[15:07] too. The goal with this niche is to try
[15:09] and create photorealistic
[15:10] visualizations. And the pro version of
[15:12] Nano Banana is much better at doing
[15:15] that. Like check it out. I created this
[15:17] picture here visualizing a scene from
[15:20] one of the plagues of Egypt talked about
[15:22] in the book of Exodus. Then I came back
[15:24] to Cling 3.0 and I uploaded this image
[15:26] as the starting frame and I got it to
[15:28] turn it into a video for me. And check
[15:30] it out, it made it for me. And I'll be
[15:32] honest, this was a pretty difficult
[15:33] prompt and video for it to make. So, I'm
[15:35] actually quite impressed with what Cling
[15:37] created. All right, let's now move on to
[15:39] the next AI video niche, slow English
[15:42] stories. Yes, I think this is a super
[15:44] underrated niche. Basically, people are
[15:46] creating these channels that help people
[15:48] practice and learn English by watching a
[15:50] story of a simple day-to-day life event.
[15:52] In the story, the characters talk to
[15:54] each other slowly and clearly. This
[15:57] helps people learn English by seeing
[15:59] words be used in a real life context.
[16:01] So, for example, check out this video
[16:03] here. It was uploaded 1 month ago and
[16:05] it's already had over 340,000 views. It
[16:09] tells a story of a couple going to get
[16:11] burgers at a fast food restaurant and it
[16:14] tells it stories just with text and
[16:16] images. And check out this video here
[16:18] that's had over 4.4 million views in the
[16:21] past 5 months. It tells the story of a
[16:24] family going to the airport. This one
[16:26] instead just tells their story through
[16:28] animations. And if you watch the video
[16:30] yourself, you'll see that while the
[16:32] characters do talk, their voices aren't
[16:34] even lip-synced, and the viewers don't
[16:36] even seem to care. And as you may have
[16:38] already calculated, 4.4 million views
[16:41] can earn a lot of estimated ad revenue.
[16:45] But it can only earn that if the channel
[16:47] is actually in the YouTube partner
[16:49] program, which we can prove it is
[16:51] because look, the channel has the thanks
[16:53] button turned on. Nice. And creating
[16:56] these videos is pretty simple.
[16:58] Currently, Pixar Disney style animation
[17:00] is the most trendy and popular for this
[17:02] niche. Although, since Pixar and Disney
[17:04] are trademarked phrases, I'd instead
[17:06] just prompt Net Banana, either version
[17:08] two or Pro, whichever you want to use,
[17:11] to generate an image in a cinematic kids
[17:13] 3D style image, and it'll generate it in
[17:16] pretty much the exact same style. And
[17:18] then, if you want to animate it, Cling
[17:20] can do that really easily. Just upload
[17:22] your image as the starting frame and
[17:24] tell Clling what you want your
[17:25] characters to do and it will turn it
[17:27] into an animated scene for you. No
[17:29] problem. So then, if this video has
[17:31] helped you, please subscribe. And if
[17:33] you'd like to learn about even more AI
[17:35] tools that you can use to start an
[17:36] online business, be sure to watch my
[17:38] next video here on screen. And I will
[17:40] see you in the next video.
