## Summary

This video outlines seven essential considerations for anyone planning to start a faceless YouTube channel. It emphasizes that such channels can be launched with minimal investment, but require strategic differentiation, niche selection, and a focus on delivering value to succeed.

### Key Points

- **Low Cost Entry** [00:16] — Faceless channels don't require expensive equipment or outsourcing; you can handle voiceovers and scripting yourself. Many successful channels run on a small budget with high profit margins.
- **Differentiate Your Channel** [01:35] — Avoid copying others; use the Blue Ocean Strategy to innovate and create a unique channel. Copying leads to slow growth and failure.
- **Niche Selection Matters** [02:54] — Different niches have different pros and cons. Unboxing/tech review channels earn more via affiliate marketing due to high product prices. Animation/stock footage channels are versatile and can cover many topics.
- **Leverage Tools and Platforms** [04:14] — Use tools like TubeBuddy/VidIQ for data and growth, project management software (ClickUp, Notion) for organization, and platforms like Upwork/Fiverr to find talent. Free versions are available.
- **Value is Key** [05:35] — Success comes from providing value through information or entertainment. Focus on giving value consistently to build a loyal audience.
- **Reinvest Profits** [06:25] — Reinvest profits into hiring (scriptwriters, editors), software (e.g., TubeBuddy Legendary plan), and business entities (LLC/S corp) to save taxes and scale faster.
- **Take Action Now** [07:49] — It's not too late to start; many niches remain undiscovered. Avoid analysis paralysis — take action and don't expect immediate results. The creator's first successful video came after 50 uploads.

need to know before starting your faceless YouTube channel if you want to faceless channels are one of the best ways to start and if you don't really actually link a video down below that we made it's a completely free step-by-step
course on how to start your faceless Channel but without further Ado let's need to know before starting so the first thing you need to know is that faceless YouTube channels don't have to cost much to make you a lot of money
channels out there that are successfully run by you know just one or two people an example of one of those is better than yesterday which is an absolutely a lot of fancy equipment that is one of the best parts about having a faceless
Channel you don't need a super expensive computer yeah many of the things that a lot of people tell you to Outsource you actually don't need to Outsource so doing a voiceover scripting all that stuff however what I'll say is that if
can't afford it and have the budget to those are all worthwhile all things to pay for but if you are starting out just know that you don't need to Outsource yourself it's pretty much just like turning up any YouTube channel but
just be you doing a voiceover and handling all the other things on the faceless YouTube channels out there making tons and tons of money hundreds of thousands of dollars per day and many of these actually have a very very small
budget meaning their profit margins are extremely high so just know that before you start you don't need to invest a lot of money but if you're not investing money you'll definitely need to invest a lot of time okay the second thing you
should not just do what everyone else is doing otherwise you won't grow and you won't build a successful channel the strategy that this is called is the Blue recommend you guys read that book that was a very impactful book that allowed
me to realize hey I can't just do what everyone else is doing I need to do it another commodity that's just competing with everyone else however if I can create my own blue ocean I can just Escape that red bloody ocean and build
something that no one else has really done so ask yourself is there one thing I can do differently to make my channel better than everyone else's everyone else is making a certain type of faceless Channel don't do that this does
not necessarily mean you can't create a faceless channel in the same niche as other people right if you do you just need to innovate think of something that that no one else really has done before and then just do that the most painful
way to create a YouTube channel that just does not do well in the long term is just by copying what everyone else is doing exactly this is a Surefire way to see slow growth without ensuring that you know you can actually blow up and
going to see so my biggest piece of advice you guys do something a little bit different innovate and that will surely pay off for the success of your is that there are tons of different niches with different pros and cons so
for example unboxing and tech review channels they can make a lot of money because the products that they talk about they cost thousands of dollars or more and when you do affiliate marketing it's often a percentage of the sale so
more expensive products you will make more money per sale some examples of channels that do this really well are top Tech now as well as the relaxing ends so all these channels they have affiliate links in the description I
and yeah like I said these types of channels can do extremely well with Niche for these faceless channels are going to be channels that use a lot of animations or stock footage these types of YouTube channels are extremely good
can be applied to many many different niches better than yesterday does this this really well Jake Tran does really well with his movie clips you just know that there are so many different types of videos you guys can make while making
faceless YouTube videos right so a lot of people think hey there's only like a few different types of faceless videos I can make that's wrong this concept of faceless YouTube channels can be applied to print pretty much any niche in the
world so you can do Evergreen videos you can do you know faceless how-to videos and tutorials you can do trendy stuff you can do top 10 lists really the list goes on and if you can build a catalog of videos that continually get views
well there are so many resources and platforms and websites online that can help you automate be more efficient and save you more time if there's one thing faceless Channel it would be to take advantage of all the different softwares
out there for example tubebuddy is a must-have for any YouTuber and it gives you a ton of important video data as well as tools that can help you grow your channel anyone that's serious about growing their YouTube channel needs to
have tubebuddy or vid IQ that's another popular alternative and while the of money they also have free versions that still are very very helpful so at least get those free versions there's also platforms like click up notion or
that can help you organize everything so with faceless channels you know there's is a lot of organization there's a lot of coordinating with different people and yeah having a project management software like that is extremely helpful
slack that can help you communicate faster with your team and in terms of platforms out there such as upwork or Fiverr these are phenomenal platforms that allow you to find talented people overseas and they can help you do a lot
of the tasks that are needed for your faceless Channel overall invest some time learn these platforms learn these softwares because I guarantee you it's ton of time and money the next thing you need to know is that if you're not
giving value to your audience your channel is not going to do well the key to a successful YouTube channel especially a faceless one is always done through information or entertainment and yeah pretty much
there's always a way to give value to the viewer no matter what Niche your channel is in so if you focus on giving as much value as you can without you think you'll be guaranteed to succeed now of course nothing happens overnight
but if you are constantly giving value people will sense that and they'll you're just putting out videos that they're just repurposed videos that you know aren't entertaining don't really
have that much information and are not Innovative then your growth is going to be so much slower so that's something that you guys should really focus on and that will pay off in the long-term growth of your channel the next thing
monetizing and making money through your channel you need to reinvest back into your business many people make the mistake of taking profits and not they start making their first hundred thousand dollars on YouTube they get
and they spend it on things that's you know are not necessary you need to think of YouTube as a business because it is one and then a little side note but once you reach forty to fifty thousand dollars per year in net profit if you
escort business because this is going to actually save you a ton on your taxes below showing you exactly how to create an LLC or an S corp I'll basically just all my business entities and how you can create one as well in under 10 minutes
entity and tax stuff just know that when you start making money put that money into hiring more people hiring scriptwriters hiring video editors any job that will save you time you'll also want to invest into different softwares
lot easier that's really going to help you take your YouTube channel to the example one of the first things I would do is reinvest the money back into getting tubebuddy's Legendary plan and this is just basically because it allows
started making money the first thing I did was I paid for tubebuddy because I testing is and it really is vital for the growth of your channel that's just one example of how I've reinvested back into my own business and just know that
the money you make with your channel can help you actually grow a lot faster and then finally the seventh thing you need to know is that it's not too late to start there are still a ton of niches to be discovered there there's still so
YouTube faces Channel space and the most important thing that you guys need to do is just take action don't get analysis paralysis thinking hey it's too late to start everyone has created a Facebook Channel already that is a Surefire way
true there's still so much opportunity within the space and there still is a piece of the pie for you guys to take and dominate with the number of reason channels is because they don't take immediate action or they just give up
after a few weeks or months so don't expect results right away it took me over 50 videos to get one that did really well and it's likely going to be the same for your channel as well don't focus on being perfect just focus on
getting your first videos out because I guarantee you as you do more you will Perfection from the very beginning anyways those are seven things you need YouTube channel I really hope you guys got some good value out of this video we
