## Summary

This video explores several faceless AI YouTube niches that are gaining massive traction and being monetized. The creator demonstrates how to use AI tools like Higsfield and its integrated models (e.g., Nano Banana, Cling) to produce viral content in these niches. The core theme is identifying profitable, monetizable niches and providing a practical workflow to create similar videos.

### Key Points

- **Challenge and Sponsor** [0:00] — The creator sets a challenge to show faceless AI niches that are viral and monetized, and how to make them. The video is sponsored by Higsfield AI.
- **Niche 1: History Recreation** [0:26] — Videos using AI to recreate historical people/places are getting millions of views (e.g., a video with 2.3M views). A channel in this niche gained over 76M total views with strong estimated ad earnings.
- **Monetization Check Trick** [1:35] — The 'thanks and join button trick': if a channel has a members/thanks button, it is in the YouTube Partner Program and monetized. This confirms a niche is viable before starting.
- **How to Make a Historical Clip** [2:56] — Uses Higsfield: generate an AI image with Nano Banana Pro, then turn it into a video using Cling 3.0 via frame-to-video. Cling is recommended as a good price/performance balance.
- **Niche 2: Impossible ASMR** [4:24] — Videos of impossible objects (crazy beds, pools) with generated sounds. One channel gained over 64M long-form views in 3 months. Monetization confirmed via thanks/membership buttons.
- **Making an Impossible ASMR Clip** [5:37] — Process: generate realistic image with Nano Banana Pro, then use Cling 3.0 with sound effects turned on for the ASMR component.
- **Niche 3: Cozy Anime** [6:08] — Anime videos with a calming vibe are going viral (e.g., 2.3M views). Reveals average RPM is $3–$8 per 1,000 views, allowing ad revenue estimation. Monetized channels found.
- **Making a Cozy Anime Clip** [7:46] — Uses Nano Banana 2 (cheaper, good for non-photorealistic) to generate a cozy cinematic anime image, then animates with Cling 3.0 in classic anime style.
- **Niche 4: AI Music Channels** [9:01] — Channels upload hour-long AI-generated music compilations (e.g., 3.6M views in 7 months). Confirmed monetized via membership button. Visuals often use looping animations.
- **Creating a Looping Animation** [10:25] — Start-to-end trick: generate an image with Nano Banana, use it as both starting and final frame in Cling to create a seamless loop. Multiple loops can be mixed and matched.
- **Niche 5: AI Motivational Stories** [12:21] — Resurging niche: stories with AI images and voiceover (e.g., 3.9M views). Monetization confirmed. Uses Popcorn feature in Higsfield for quick story image generation.
- **Niche 6: Religion & Spirituality Visualization** [14:08] — Recreated religious scenes from texts (e.g., Book of Revelation series, 2.3M views). Uses photorealistic Nano Banana Pro and Cling 3.0. Monetized channel with join button.
- **Niche 7: Slow English Stories** [15:39] — Simple stories with slow dialogue to help learners. One video had 4.4M views in 5 months. Monetization confirmed. Uses cinematic kids 3D style (avoiding trademarked terms).

### Conclusion

The video identifies seven high-potential faceless AI YouTube niches, provides proof of monetization via the thanks/join button trick, and demonstrates a practical workflow using Higsfield AI to create content in each niche. The key takeaway is that with the right tools and niche selection, faceless AI channels can be both viral and profitable.

## Transcript

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