## Summary

This video is a free tutorial on creating faceless content for digital marketing accounts on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. The creator, Jessica, demonstrates how to use Canva and Pexels to source and edit videos, emphasizing the importance of keeping videos short for algorithmic promotion.

### Key Points

- **Introduction to Faceless Content** [00:13] — Jessica explains that she will show how to create faceless content for digital marketing accounts, which can be used on YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram, and notes that this information is typically paid for in courses.
- **Using Canva for Free** [00:44] — She demonstrates using the free version of Canva, starting by selecting 'mobile video' template and creating a blank mobile video, showing that the process can be done without a paid subscription.
- **Finding Videos in Canva** [01:30] — She shows how to search for 'aesthetic video' in Canva's elements, noting that while free options exist, the pro version offers more choices, and she recommends getting a trial if possible.
- **Setting Video as Background** [02:40] — Jessica demonstrates right-clicking on a video and selecting 'set video as background' to fill the screen, which automatically sizes it for Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest.
- **Optimal Video Length** [03:08] — She advises keeping videos at seven seconds (sometimes six) to allow for replaying while viewers read captions, which signals the algorithm to promote the content.
- **Batch Creating Content** [03:59] — She recommends creating 10 videos for the week in one sitting and posting two every day or every two days, saving time and effort.
- **Adding Pages and Shortening Videos** [04:28] — She shows how to add multiple pages in Canva, each with a different video, and then shorten each video to seven seconds using the trim feature.

- **Downloading Videos** [09:53] — She advises downloading each page separately in 4K or 1080p to avoid slideshow effects, and notes that this is necessary for quality.
- **Adding Music on Platforms** [10:24] — She recommends adding music directly on Instagram or TikTok using trending tracks to boost reach, and for YouTube Shorts, using CapCut or similar software.

## Transcript

hi guys welcome back to my channel my name is jessica in today's video i'm going to show you guys how to make faceless content for your faceless digital marketing accounts you can just use this on youtube choice you can use this on tiktok or instagram or whatever it is
okay i'm not sure if you guys don't know what faceless content is or what faceless marketing digital marketing is i'm gonna show you guys like a screen recorder right here to show you guys exactly what i'm talking about okay i have not seen anybody on youtube make a video like this
because usually when they are showing you how to do it they want you to pay them for a course but today i'm here to give it to you guys for free okay so all i need you guys to do all i need you guys to do is get a penny get a notebook get your computer and let's get to work okay okay guys now
you guys are able to see my screen there are multiple ways to do this but today i'm going to show you how to do it for free okay so as you can see usually i have the canva pro but just today I have the free canva I'm gonna show you how to do it so the first thing
I have to do is that you gotta go to the search and then for the templates you're gonna click on mobile video mobile video okay then after that you're gonna click on create a blank mobile video so once you're done like we click on create a
blank mobile video this is what the page is going to look like alright so now this is that you could do this multiple ways the first option I'm going to show you guys is doing it through canva so when you go to canva you're going to go to elements let's say
you want to find your videos in canva you're going to go to elements you're going to click on aesthetic video so now there's multiple videos that's going to come up right so for example
i said a video do you see this one like because you know like when you go like on instagram or whatever sometimes people are pouring coffee or they're pouring something or they're fixing something or there's flowers or whatever so this is your first option of like getting it for free
but my thing is since we don't have the pro version we can't really get all the other options right here we don't have the pro version which is why i always encourage you guys to always get the pro version because you're gonna make it a whole lot easier for you guys and if you don't have the
money to afford it you can just get it for i don't know like 30 days batch like like make the videos and back and then just like you know put them out or whatever like I don't know whatever you want to do you know I'm saying you gotta make it work somehow
someway so for example let's say that I like this video this is just an example because we don't have the pro version so we can't really use any of these options right here so let's say that I like this video and I'm just gonna right click and
just set video as background do you guys see that right click and then you're gonna you know um set video as background so now the video just fills up the whole screen
this already is going to be the size for instagram and tiktok or pinterest whatever you don have to manipulate or do too much this already comes in the perfect size for you So you don have to think about it too much okay So now let just say that we like this video
You know, this person is pouring coffee. And just remember that any video, like, you always want it to be at seven seconds, not more than seven seconds, not less. Sometimes it could be six, depending. Some videos might be like six seconds.
You could use that. But I'm saying, like, don't put it, like, for, like, 15 seconds. Like, no, because the reason is when you put it at seven seconds, while the person is reading your description on your Instagram page or your TikTok page, the video is replaying and replaying and replaying in the background, which lets the algorithm know, like, okay, this person likes this video.
Let me push it out more to other people, okay? So let's say that instead of doing one per day, for example, and I don't usually do, like, I don't usually create, like, two videos per day. I usually create like for the whole week 10 of them and then I um and then I you know like I
every like and I download all of them and every every day or every two days I just um like post two of them that way I don't have to be like oh I have to go and get up and do this whatever it's already done for me you know what I'm saying so now let's say that you want to create more than
one video so all you have to do is add a page right here and then just like for example um let's say that we like this video right here because it's free so all we have to do is literally just click
on the video like i showed you guys before right click start video as background and that's it that's all you have to do and it's going to play okay now next thing we want to shorten the video
We want to shorten it to seven seconds, just like I told you guys before. Seven seconds. You just shorten it to seven seconds. And the same process repeats where you just have to add the caption, just like you see, the caption, point of view, or POV, I just said my faceless marketing journey, POV, da-da-da-da-da.
You know what I'm saying? You have the background, and then you just put it right here. You can change the font just like I showed you guys before. okay that's what that's that's the canva option obviously like if you don't want to use canva
you can always use other resources but like canva just has everything like look at this one that's pretty even though this one is like five seconds i would still use it mainly because this is the thing you don't want your video to be too long like i said before because that way it could
be you could you could replay and replay and replay and replay in the background and then Instagram will push it more to more people, whatever it is. You know what I'm saying? You have a lot of options for free. You got these flowers. You got this.
You got this for free. You got this one for free. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, you don't have to invest in the $14.99 per month if you don't want to,
but I would recommend it because it will make it easier for you You know what I saying So the second option is to go to Pexels Pexels this is what Pexels And when you go to Pexels all you have to do is go to Pexels
It's free. Everything on Pexels is free. You don't have to pay for anything. You don't have to have a monthly subscription, whatever it is. It's free. So usually when I go there, when it says search for free photos in here,
I just click faceless woman or aesthetic or faceless. either faceless woman, aesthetic or faceless or whatever you want. You know what I'm saying? If you want something else, if you want coffee, like pouring coffee or whatever aesthetic that you want,
you just click on it. For me, that's what I usually search for. Okay? So let's just say that faceless woman. When you go there, free faceless woman photos, right? You don't go to photos. You go to videos.
Videos right here. That's what you click on. And then right here, you'll find so many videos. People walking in water. I'm pretty sure if you guys see my last short, I'm pretty sure it was this one. or this woman right here, you have so many options.
You literally have over 131,000 options. So you can't sit here and say, oh, my gosh, I can't find anything I like. You have 131,000 options. Sit down and look for one. You know what I'm saying? So let's say I like this one.
If you like this one, if you want to collect it, you just click on collect. For example, let me just look at something I did not collect. So this one, you click on collect, and then I have a correction that's faceless marketing.
So you just put it in your collection. That's all. If you want to create a new collection, you can go and create a new collection and you name it. And that's all. And if you want to download it, you just click on free download. Once you click on free download, it's going to be uploaded to your download folder in your computer.
So let's just say that, for example, I want this one, right? I like it or I collect it. And then later on, I come back to it and I download it. Free download, it's going to come up to my computer. all I have to do after I free download it I don't want to go to my download section because I want
you guys to see like my stuff but free download then you hold it back to canva you click on our page upload upload files and then it's going to be like showing you everything right here like
that you have to upload then what I'm saying is because this is like stuff that I've uploaded already because like i told you guys i batch create for example this is a video that i want right it's 19 seconds are we going to use the 19 seconds no we're not we're only going to use seven
seconds out of it you're going to set video as background right now we're just going to watch the video like i don't really like to use the first one because there's not really any action like what am i going to do with this so as you can see like in the first like five seconds right here
I just going to cut it right here I see the hand and I going to just I just going to play at seven seconds and drag it Seven seconds
Now we're like, you see? Seven seconds. All right? So another thing, all you have to do now is just like add the caption,
you go to text, you add a heading or add a subheading, then you go to element and then you add the background like the shape or whatever now yeah okay yes i understand we have we already know how to make this i understand it really
really well now how to how do i put music in the background we're going to come to this in the next part so number one before you even think about adding music you got to download it the thing is when you download you click on share download and then you download it you can download
in 4k usually i do 4k but 1080 is fine you don't have to worry about it then you download every page separately you don't download them together because if you do that it's gonna be like a slideshow it's not gonna look good okay you gotta download every page separately i know it's a lot
of work i know you don't want to do it i don't want to do it either but guess what we have to do it okay um then after you download this now we're going to think about the music the music you don't add music separately you add music let's say that on instagram you add music while you're on
instagram mainly because when you add popular music from the instagram playlist or music that's popular or trending whatever truly music that's going to push your video more you don't put music
outside of the thing all you have to worry about is having a video as a caption in the background of the text, and that's all you have to worry about. And then when you're ready to upload it, either on TikTok, either on Instagram,
whatever it is, then we can worry about, you know, adding the music. The only thing is when you're uploading on YouTube Shorts,
you are going to need to add your own music player to putting it on YouTube Shorts. So you could use CapCut for that or any other, like, editing software that you want. but that's what I'm just saying.
You know what I'm saying? So I'm going to have like all three, like all websites, like the Canva down below, the Pexels down below, and another free website that you could use and another paid website that you could use.
Like those paid versions, people pay for this. I'm not going to go over the paid version because this is not what this video is for. This is for free for people who are looking to get started for free. So that's what I'm going to go over. But if you want to have like a paid version,
I'm going to have that website down below. No, I did not get paid for this. I wish I was getting paid for this, but I don't get paid for this, okay? So that's it for today's video. I'll see you guys in the next one. Thank you guys so much for watching this video. If you have any questions, if you were confused or whatever it is,
you can just put it in the comment section below and I'll get to it. Make sure that you subscribe to the channel. Make sure that you like the video. And I'll see you guys in the next one. Bye.
