## Summary

This video presents seven easy methods for creating faceless YouTube videos, catering to beginners. The methods range from screen recording tutorials and slide presentations to animation, b-roll, stock footage, text-to-video software, and outsourcing. The creator emphasizes educational content and provides practical tips for each approach.

### Key Points

- **Method 1: Screen Recording Tutorials** [00:26] — Record your screen while explaining a process. This is effective because educational content is easier to produce than entertaining content. Use free built-in screen recorders on any device.
- **Method 2: Slide Presentations** [01:38] — Use PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Canva to create presentations. Great for longer topics. Canva offers free templates and is also used for thumbnails.
- **Method 3: Animation Videos** [02:45] — Simple whiteboard animations using software like Doodly or VideoScribe. These tools automate most of the work and are ideal for teaching or storytelling. Example channel: Patty Galloway.
- **Method 4: B-Roll Footage** [04:11] — Use footage of yourself or objects (not your face) with voiceover. Great for tutorials (cooking, building) or product reviews. Requires recording your own b-roll.
- **Method 5: Stock Footage** [05:20] — Use pre-recorded footage from sites like Pexels, Pixabay (free) or Storyblocks (paid). Write a script, record voiceover, then match stock footage to the narration. Simple and effective.
- **Method 6: Text-to-Video Software** [06:31] — Use InVideo to automatically generate videos from scripts or blog posts. It combines text and stock footage. Free plan available, but paid plan recommended for professional look. Code 'Garrett25' for 25% off.
- **Method 7: Outsourcing** [08:39] — Hire freelancers on Fiverr, Upwork, etc., for tasks like editing and thumbnails. Recommended if you have more money than time. The creator's course covers outsourcing in detail.

### Conclusion

The seven methods provide scalable options for creating faceless YouTube content, from free DIY approaches to paid automation and outsourcing. Start with simple methods like screen recording or stock footage, and scale up as you gain experience or budget.

you the seven best methods for how to face but don't worry because these aren't going to be some difficult methods that nobody can do because I made sure that not only were these the
seven best methods but also the seven easiest methods that anyone can do starting today from zero and all I ask of you is to Simply smash the like button and watch the entire video so you don't miss out on anything with that
right so like I said I'm going to show you the seven best methods for how to face and we're going to hop right into method number one which is screen recording more specifically screen recording a tutorial this method is
because it's pretty much what I do in 90% of my videos the only difference for this would be you just record the screen on its own instead of having that little how I do in my videos as for how you would go about actually recording the
screen itself there's so many different free and paid ways to screen record but whether you have an Apple or Android phone or a Mac or Windows computer they all have a free way to record the screen and just one quick tip before we move on
to the next one the reason I love these tutorial videos isn't just because I do them it's because to be successful on YouTube your videos have to either be entertaining or educational and let's be honest learning something and then being
able to teach someone that same thing and educate them is much easier than learning how to to be entertaining especially in 2022 people just get bored so fast so that's why I find that tutorial videos and teaching someone
these methods you use to make them so just keep that in mind but now method number two is a slide presentation and presentations are another one of my favorites just because at this point every single person probably on Earth
just about has seen and probably even created a slide presentation before whether that's in school or at work and because everyone is so used to seeing them they're great at teaching a lot of different topics and especially great
for longer topics like for example I used a presentation for my free YouTube course video that was over an hour long but when it actually comes to creating or designing your slides you can go as crazy or as basic as you want personally
I like to keep mine pretty basic but that's just my personal opinion they both work great what's nice though is pretty much every presentation software out there whether you use PowerPoint keynote Google slides or whatever they
all have some sort of templates you can use for free however if you didn't know canva is another free software that you can actually create entire presentations free templates and if you don't know what canva is it's just like a design
software that's what I use to make all my YouTube thumbnails and tons of other things so super dope and it's 100% free but now method number three is a dope one and this is animation videos and when it comes to an animation video I'm
not talking about like a YouTube channel built around like an animated character channels doing that now and they're absolutely crushing it but the problem with that is it's just super difficult to do and it either requires a lot of
time and experience creating these animations or a lot of money to pay people to do it for you so what I'm talking about is doing simple animated whiteboard videos using a software like doodlee or vide scribe that pretty much
does 90% of the work for you and that's where you can basically use their built-in animations add text and even upload your own images and then it gets added to a video basically on a whiteboard and when it comes to actually
using these whiteboard animation videos you're really just going to use them to either teach someone something or tell a story and one of the channels that does the storytelling side of this the best is Patty Galloway and Patty's actually a
consultant to a bunch of huge YouTube channels I think he even consulted with Mr BEAST's Channel and he has his own Channel where he does these like whiteboard animated videos all about top YouTubers and how they've built their
empire and stuff like that so if you're interested in animation type videos check his channel out now method number four is b-roll footage if you've never heard of b-roll footage before basically what you're watching right now me
called a-roll footage and then for example if I was to put a video up on the screen with me doing some weird looking things that would be called b-roll but for this method what you would do is you would just use b-roll
footage for your entire video where you don't show your face and then you can either add music or voice over to the background and this method works great for a ton of different channels but if I was to give you like my two favorites
that use this method the first would probably be showing how to do something because you know I love my tutorial videos an example of that would be like how to cook something or how to build something or how to even design
something and then my next would definitely be a review Channel and you products in all types of different ways but for this method you would actually use Boll you recorded of physical products like laptops other electronics
or really any physical product and then you would just be doing a voice over again and explaining the products you're reviewing so now that you understand kind of what b-roll is Method number five is stock footage and stock footage
is just basically footage that someone else recorded and has uploaded to a website that you can actually use and you can use this also as b-roll footage like I'm doing right now but again for this method you would use the stock
b-roll footage for your entire video again with like a voice over or music in the background and some types of channels that instantly come to mind are going to be like rain music or also just like health and wellness videos where
times they're going to use stock footage in the background and then just a voice over on top of that and it's super easy to just make these videos because literally all you do first is record the voice over right so you'd write a script
record the voice over and then you would put that into some video editing software and then all you do is just upload stock footage onto the screen that matches up with what you're saying in the voice over as you're saying it so
for example if you were talking about money you would put up an image or video of money on the screen it's very very simple and there's tons of places to get free stock footage like pexels and pixabay and then you have paid options
like story blocks but now method number six is definitely another one of my favorite and this is using a text to video or done for you software so for example the main software I personally use and I've talked about on my channel
before is in video and they have a text to video portion of their software and it's so insane because you can choose templates here so for example let's just pick a template here right and now what you can do is you can put your entire
script here or you can actually take a URL and copy a blog post and it will take the script from there and I'll show you what happens so let's just put an example like how to make money doing videos videos are awesome I love making
videos okay obviously this is a terrible script but I just want to show you for example what it can do okay and then for the headline how to make money making videos on YouTube okay so now we're going to hit next and as you can see it
actually puts text on the screen and adds an image or a video video of stock footage so it kind of combines the last method into one and does it for you and if you don't like any of these images for example you go right here to videos
or images and then you just type in let's say video okay and you see they got one right here with this guy holding a camera so you could just put it right don't like it and then you just trim the video to fit scene and hit done and now
edit everything like if you don't like the colors of the text or all that but I will say one thing really quick if you are going to use N Video they do have a free plan which you can use if you can't afford anything else go for it but you
that makes your YouTube videos look unprofessional to say the least so if you can afford it I'd always suggest going with the business now it's going to be 50% off if you go with yearly which I definitely suggest because
monthly is $30 a month now totally up to you you can cancel any time but paid when you do purchase or if you purchase use the code Garrett 25 for 25% off your entire order okay so that's just what I want to say if you are going
to use it but again there's so many ways to use in video and I've showed it in multiple videos but if this isn't something that you're interested in another option for you which is also method number seven that's to Outsource
and what that means is go into websites like Fiverr upwork onlinejobs.ph freelancer.com there's thousands of them probably maybe not that much but hundreds at least and there's tons of these ways to find Freelancers online
that will work for pretty inexpensive considering how much time it takes to make a good YouTube video so you can find people who make thumbnails for five now editing's a little more expensive things like that that take more time
obviously but if you have more time than you have money then I would suggest doing it yourself but if you don't have a lot of time and you have a lot of money this is definitely something to do and in my course at nyt.com not only do
I teach you how to do everything step by step and I really suggest doing it yourself if you have the time but if you don't have the time I have a full module that goes so much more in depth into Outsourcing and talks about the best
ways to find people how much you should pay Etc however if you can't afford to right now don't worry because you can click the video on the screen to watch a free YouTube video where I show you more about nid and how to get started using
love you guys and I'll see you on the next video
