## Summary

This video provides a comprehensive step-by-step guide to creating a faceless YouTube channel using AI tools in 2025. It covers niche selection, channel setup, three methods for generating videos with InVideo AI, and optimization strategies using VidIQ. The tutorial emphasizes consistency, avoiding copyright issues, and using hooks to improve retention.

### Key Points

- **Earnings Potential of Faceless Channels** [00:03] — VidIQ estimates faceless channels can earn between $3,000 and $82,000 per month, but results vary and monetization takes time.
- **Top Faceless Niches** [02:57] — High-performing niches include 3D animation, make money online, personal finance, and horror/scary stories. Choose a niche you enjoy to sustain long-term content creation.
- **Setting Up the YouTube Channel** [03:39] — Use a Google account to create a channel, get name ideas from ChatGPT, generate a logo with KD (or ChatGPT’s image generation), create a banner with KD, and write a channel description.
- **Method 1: Generative Media for Horror Niche** [07:41] — Use ChatGPT for title ideas, then paste into InVideo AI with 'generative media' style. Add subtitles via command. The video is produced with voiceover and music.
- **Method 2: Animated Self-Help Videos** [13:47] — Select 'create animated film' in InVideo AI, paste title from ChatGPT, choose generated clips. Can change voiceover language (e.g., Spanish) to reach broader audience.
- **Method 3: Transform Existing Videos for Make Money Online Niche** [16:20] — Use 'link to video' workflow in InVideo AI, paste a YouTube URL as inspiration. The tool transforms the content, avoiding copyright. Stock media version is free but paid subscription removes watermarks.
- **Publishing and Optimization with VidIQ** [20:02] — Use VidIQ to generate SEO title, description, and tags. Create thumbnails via VidIQ (no face needed). Schedule uploads 30 min later for YouTube processing.
- **Risks and Best Practices** [25:10] — Avoid copyright by using InVideo AI’s licensed music. Improve retention with hooks in first 10 seconds and cutting fluff. Be patient; monetization is not immediate.

### Conclusion

Starting a faceless YouTube channel with AI is accessible and can be profitable, but requires consistent effort, quality content, and adherence to best practices to succeed.

## Transcript

This YouTube channel, as per Vid IQ, is reportedly making anywhere from $27,000 to $82,000 a month. This particular YouTube channel, which is one of my favorites, is reportedly making between $12,000 and $37,000
$12,000 and $37,000 a month. And this one is, as per Vid IQ, a month. And this one is, as per Vid IQ, making anywhere from $3,000 to $9,000 making anywhere from $3,000 to $9,000 per month. Now, Rockstars earnings do
vary on YouTube. So, there's absolutely no guarantee that you'll make the kind of money that I'm showing you here. But why I share it is because I want you to know what is possible. And it will likely take time for you to get
monetized. But again, there's several people out there doing what I'm about to share with you and doing so successfully. Now that said, from all indications, it does appear that faceless YouTube channels are taking
off. I think this is why not everyone wants to be in front of a camera. Whether it's because they're shy, because they want privacy, or simply a lack of time to get dressed, to do your hair, and then to set up a camera to
hair, and then to set up a camera to film. Enter the Faceless YouTube channel. And with AI tools, it's actually become much easier to create high quality faceless videos with great visuals and humanlike sounding
voiceovers. So that's what pushed me to create this video today because I've shared snippets of how to create a faceless channel, but I have not done a faceless channel, but I have not done a real end toend tutorial. And that's what
this video is. By the end of this tutorial style video, you're going to know what the most profitable faceless YouTube niches are. You're also going to learn step by step how to start your own YouTube channel to include things like
creating the channel, branding the channel, and how to upload your faceless videos to this YouTube channel. You're also going to learn how to create also going to learn how to create thumbnails using AI. And I'll also share
thumbnails using AI. And I'll also share mistakes that you should avoid and best mistakes that you should avoid and best practices that you can use to grow. That's the place to be. Level up your life. Come and grow with me. Mindset. We
rise. We move. Big dreams now. We got nothing to prove. We learn. We win. We light that flame. Change your world. will never be the same. Now, I have
broken this tutorial down in simple steps so that it's easier to follow. Let's start with step one, and this is choosing a profitable faceless YouTube choosing a profitable faceless YouTube niche. And here on screen are eight of
the top performing faceless YouTube niches right now. Just from glancing, you'll see that 3D animation, the make money online or personal finance are
money online or personal finance are some of the niches that are performing the best. What I don't want you to do is to just choose a niche based on its earning potential. The best approach is to choose one that you'll actually enjoy
creating content for. That way, you're going to stick with it for the long haul because you're not just creating to earn. You're creating because you enjoy the process. Now, go ahead and tell me in the comments below what niche you're
considering and why. Now, after you have selected your niche, we're ready to move on to step two, which is to actually set up your YouTube channel. And you're account, unless you already have one.
And if you have a Gmail email, you already have a Google account. You're going to visit YouTube as I'm showing you here on screen and you're going to click the profile image and then create channel and you're going to enter the
name of your faceless channel. Now, you may not know what to call your faceless channel and that's okay. What you can do is on chat GPT as I'm showing you here, you can actually share your niche and ask ChatGpt for channel name ideas that
are available and I'm sure you'll be able to find something or you can regenerate until you find an option that you like. I did this for the financial education niche as I'm showing you here and these are some of the ideas that
were presented and I think some of them are pretty good. Now, next you want to add a profile photo, but because this is a faceless channel, this can be a logo. Now, we're going to ask ChatGpt to give us an AI image generation prompt for a
logo for the channel name that we have selected. And then you can hop over to KD, and I'm going to put the K link in the description of this video. And you the description of this video. And you can use KD free to generate at least one
logo. But this image prompt that we are going to get from chat GPT will describe the logo based on the name you just got and your niche. I'll copy and paste the description here in the KD command box. And here are some of the logos that were
generated based on the channel name that I selected. I selected. [Music] Now, if you have the paid version of chat GPT, you can go ahead and select
image as I'm showing you here on screen. And then you can paste the same AI image generation prompt. And you want to make sure that that prompt says 3D in there to get a layered logo. And as you can see here, ChatGpt is going to give you
image options and you can keep regenerating until you get one that you like. Now, for your channel banner from the KD homepage, select template and then social here. From the menu, select
YouTube banners. Choose a design or a color scheme that matches your niche or brand. As you can see here from KD, you get a starter kit for your channel. For the channel banner template, we will upload our logo that we created using KD
and add it here. And here you can just write something relevant to your channel like financial education that transforms lives. You can also use chat GPT to get you a slogan if you are not sure what to write here. Let's download our banner by
selecting just the banner artboard from the download options here. Now, for your channel description, which goes right here on YouTube, give chat GPT your channel name and what you're going to be talking about on this channel and ask it
to give you a profile description for YouTube. And we're going to copy what we get. You can modify it as you see fit and we're going to paste it here on YouTube. Let's also add the channel banner that we created using KD right
here on YouTube. We will add the logo we created as well here where it says picture. Next, we will enter our channel name here which is moneyver TV. We will then add our channel handle which is also money TV. But because that handle
is not available on YouTube, we will make it money 2.0. And now your YouTube branding is complete for the most part. Basically, you have enough to start with. So, we're going to move to step three, which is to create our faceless
videos. And I'll share three different methods to create faceless videos. In this video, we're going to create a faceless video for the horror scary stories niche that I showed you earlier, and we're going to use chat GPT with
this prompt. Give us video titles and details for the niche, horror or scary stories. And as you can see, we get several title options to choose from
that we can use to create our faceless video. We will be using inv video AI generative media in this example to create our video. And make sure you stay
tuned to learn more about how you can gain access to generative media later in this video. Now, I have placed the Invido AI link in the description of this video. It's going to be the one at the top. Now, I'm going to grab my
computer because we're going to do this together. Now, after creating your Invidia AI account by clicking the link in the description and landing on the homepage, you're going to go ahead and copy the title and the details for the
option that you prefer from chat GPT and you're going to paste it right here in the Invido AI command box. You're then going to select generate video. And here we're going to select generative media and choose the visual style that we
like. We are also going to choose the duration and the platform that we're creating the video for. Let's go ahead and continue. Now, next we're going to add captions to our video. And I'm going to simply do that by entering right here
to simply do that by entering right here in the command box add subtitles to this video. And Rockstars, as you can see here, we now have subtitles. It's as easy as that. Here is a snippet of the video that was generated.
I never thought I'd be telling this story, but here goes. It was supposed to be a relaxing getaway, you know, just a few days to unwind and clear my head, but it turned into a nightmare I can't
but it turned into a nightmare I can't escape. Even now, should have known it was too good to be true. The moment I stepped inside,
something felt off. But I couldn't put my finger on it. When I arrived, the host was odd, overly friendly, but with this unsettling smile that never quite reached his eyes. Welcome. Let me show you around our special home. We have so
many unique features for you to discover. the amenities. Now I wonder if he was showing off his traps. That night, I
couldn't sleep. Every creek, every shadow seemed to hide a threat. was alive, watching me, waiting for something. And that's when I realized I
wasn't alone. I was never alone in that house. [Applause] It wasn't until the next morning that things went wrong. I tried to leave for breakfast, but the door,
breakfast, but the door, it wouldn't open. At first, I thought it was just stuck. But after an hour of trying, I realized I was locked in. Panic set in. I called the host, but the number was disconnected.
number was disconnected. That's when I really started to worry. That's when I noticed the cameras hidden in the vents behind picture hidden in the vents behind picture frames.
My phone had no signal. The Wi-Fi was down. The noises started that night. Chanting coming from the walls and symbols inside carved into the floorboards beneath the rug. It hit me then. This wasn't just a
malfunctioning lock. I was trapped in someone's sick game. I found an old laptop in a drawer down there. When I turned it on, I saw myself live streamed. There was a chat full of people bidding, bidding on what would
happen to me next. I was part of some dark web horror show and the grand finale was approaching. I heard footsteps upstairs, heavy, deliberate. The host was back and he wasn't alone. I hid in a closet. They passed by talking
about the next phase of the ritual. When night fell, I made my move. I found a rusty pipe in the basement and waited by the door. The moment it opened, I swung. There was a sickening crunch and then silence. I ran, not daring to look back.
The front door was open now, mocking me with its simplicity. I sprinted into the could hear shouts behind me, getting closer. Somehow, miraculously, I made it to a road. A passing truck driver saw me and called the police. The investigation
is ongoing, but they haven't found much. The house was empty when they arrived, wiped clean. Sometimes I wonder if it really happened. But then I see the scars, and I know it was all too real. Now, every time I see an Airbnb listing,
I can't help but wonder what horrors might be hiding behind that perfect facade. So, be careful out there. You never know when your dream vacation might become your worst nightmare. I think this is pretty scary if you ask
think this is pretty scary if you ask me. And it still blows my mind how easy me. And it still blows my mind how easy it is to create faceless YouTube videos that will not only capture attention in your niche, but they are professionally
done with amazing voice over music already added and we're generating it just from words. Let's go ahead and download our video and select your preferences for the download. And your video is ready to be uploaded to
YouTube. But hold on, I'm going to show you other methods that you can use to create faceless videos. Let's move to method two. And this time, we're going method two. And this time, we're going to change our niche to animated selfhelp
for this particular example. Now, I'm going to prompt Chatg GPT to give me video title ideas for the niche self-help that will be used to create
self-help that will be used to create animated videos. And on the homepage of Invido AI here, we're going to select create animated film from the menu. And we're then going to copy the title that we got from chat GPT and we're going to
paste it right here on Invidia AI. Now, let's select only generated clips for this example. And you're then going to choose your preferences and continue.
And give it some time to generate your video. And rockstars, this is a snippet of the video that was created. Hey guys, what's up? I used to think confidence was something you were born with, but boy was I wrong. Today, we're
diving deep into the truth about confidence. what it really is, where it comes from, and how you can build it. Um, trust me, by the end of this video, confidence and the tools to start building it. So, let's get started.
[Music] All right, let's start by busting some common myths about confidence. First up, the big one. Confidence is not innate. You're not born with it, and it's not some magical trait that only a chosen
few possess. Next myth, confidence is only for extroverts. Nope. Introverts can be just as confident as extroverts. Confidence isn't about being the loudest comfortable with who you are and what you bring to the table. The science
behind confidence is fascinating. Studies have shown that confidence is closely linked to our brain's reward system. When we accomplish something, our brain releases dopamine, which makes us feel good and reinforces confident
behavior. But here's something cool. You don't need to wait for big wins to boost your confidence. Small, consistent actions can have a huge impact over time. Now, for this example, we're going to change the language of our video as
I'm doing here with a simple command that says change the voice over language to Spanish. [Music]
[Music] And I find creating content in multiple languages, it gives you access to another market so that you can grow. Now, let's move to the third method that I'm going to show you how to create
content today and we will create faceless videos for the make money online niche. Now, we're going to get inspiration from a YouTube video this time around in this niche. And I'm going to use a video from my channel as an
example, but you can find other channels and choose a video to use as your inspiration. And you don't have to worry about things like copyright because in video AI will completely transform the video and really just use it as
inspiration and not recreate that person's content. We're going to select workflows here as I'm doing. And right here under create faceless videos, I'm going to select link to video. Now I'm going to copy just the link of the video
that I'm using as inspiration and I'm going to paste it right here on Invidia going to paste it right here on Invidia AI. This time around, we're going to use only stop media to create our video. Let's go ahead as we did before and
choose our preferences and follow the steps to generate the video. And rockstars, here is a snippet of the video that we just created using stop media. [Music]
Many people feel trapped in a constant cycle of financial struggle, living paycheck to paycheck and wondering if they will ever get ahead. It can seem like the world is designed to keep you from building wealth with obstacles at
every turn. You work hard, you try to save, but unexpected bills and the rising cost of living always seem to push you back to where you started. This feeling of being stuck is incredibly common. But it is not a life sentence.
The truth is financial freedom is not reserved for a select few who got lucky. It is achievable for anyone willing to understand the rules of the game and change their approach. The journey begins with identifying the hidden traps
that are designed to keep you poor. These financial traps are not always obvious. They often disguise themselves as normal, acceptable parts of modern life, making them even more dangerous. Think about the constant pressure to buy
the latest smartphone, take on a large student loan for a degree, or finance a brand new car you can't truly afford. These decisions are presented as standard steps toward a successful life. Yet, they are often the very things that
anchor people in debt and prevent them from ever building real lasting wealth. If you watch my original video where I copied the link from, you're going to realize that it's very different from this video because it has been
this video because it has been transformed, but it still highlights the main points covered in that video. Now, you can opt to use Invido AI free to create stock media videos like the one I just showed you. But when you're ready
to download those videos, you're going to need a paid subscription, which starts at $28 per month to make sure that the water marks are removed when it's downloaded. Now, to access Invido's most powerful generative AI feature,
most powerful generative AI feature, that plan starts at $96 per month. and rock stars. I know this isn't affordable for everyone, but I'll tell you that from my own experience, it's much cheaper than outsourcing my content and
cheaper than outsourcing my content and paying someone on a freelance platform, as an example, to create this content for me. If you're already using Invido AI and you want to tap into Generative Media, you can do so by upgrading as I'm
showing you here on screen. Now rock stars, let's move to step four, and this is where we're going to publish and optimize our videos to make sure that it's getting views over time. Now, to publish our video, I recommend that we
use metadata. And that's things like the title, the description, keywords, or tags. And metadata actually helps YouTube to understand your content and to know who to recommend it to. We'll also need a good thumbnail. Don't just
upload a video and let one of your scenes become your thumbnail. And we're going to use Vid IQ to do all of this. And I have placed the Vid IQ link in the description below. And here's the best part. While you can use VidIQ for free
to do a lot of things, to do exactly what I'm about to show you, when you click the link in the description, you'll be able to try VidIQ for 30 days for just $1 instead of the $39 that you'll typically need to pay per month.
So, experiment with it. Try to do what I'm sharing here, and if you like it, you can stick to it. If not, don't feel the need to continue using it because you can leverage the free option or the free version. Now, we're going to go
ahead here on Vid IQ from the homepage and select create and then generate. And we're going to enter our video title or the video idea right here as I'm doing
now. Automatically, we're going to get a SEO title. We're going to get a description. We're going to get tags or keywords for our video. And you can keywords for our video. And you can easily click this icon here to copy and
paste them when you're uploading your video to YouTube. Now, to get your thumbnail, select create again right here on Vid IQ and select thumbnail. And if you're not sure what text to put on your thumbnail, just ask chat GPT with
attentiongrabbing thumbnail text based on this title. And we're going to paste our title here. Now, on Vid IQ, right here, you're going to enter the thumbnail text that you got from chat GPT. And where it says faces
and objects, because it's a faceless channel, you can leave that blank because you really don't need a face for your thumbnail. For reference, we're going to choose a thumbnail style that we actually like. And you can do so by
selecting what's trending or you can search for a specific channel as I'm showing you here to get a thumbnail inspiration style. Now, select create
and you get thumbnails that you can choose from that are ready to be uploaded on YouTube. And if you don't like the options that you're getting, feel free to regenerate until you get something that you're happy with. You
can also click this pencil icon here to edit your thumbnails and modify things like the text. You can remove things and tweak it to your preference. Go ahead, as I'm doing here, and download your thumbnail. Now, you have everything you
need to upload your first video to YouTube. And you're going to go back to your YouTube channel that you created and branded. And you're going to select create as I'm showing you here on screen. And then you're going to click
screen. And then you're going to click on upload video as I'm doing here. And then you're going to select the video that you downloaded from Invidia AI. and you're going to copy the title that you got from Vid IQ as well as the
description which you're going to paste here. You're going to choose your settings for your YouTube profile. Make sure your settings are on point because they can make the difference between your channel getting very little views
and getting a lot of views, especially when it comes to the setting related to kids content. Now, with your settings done, you can go ahead and upload your thumbnail, the one that we downloaded from Vid IQ earlier, and you can copy
the keywords or the tags that you got from Vid IQ, and paste them right here on YouTube. Now, here, I recommend that you don't just publish your video live. Schedule your video for a date and time that's at least 30 minutes from the time
when you upload it. That way it allows YouTube to process your videos. And eventually when your channel gets monetized if you follow this process and monetized if you follow this process and post consistently and do so well, this
post consistently and do so well, this will give the YouTube algorithm time to will give the YouTube algorithm time to not just add ads and this is advertisements to your video but also determine who to position it before so
that you maximize your views. Let's now talk about some of the risks related to creating a faceless channel and how to avoid them. The first one is copyright.
Always make sure that you're using royaltyfree music or music that's licensed for YouTube. And the great thing is that within video AI providing the tracks for your videos, it takes care of that. If you ever get a
copyright flag or anything related to that, go ahead and appeal and indicate that you have an Invido AI subscription. that you have an Invido AI subscription. Another risk is low retention. You get
people clicking but they don't keep watching. And what you can do is use hooks in your videos for the first 10 seconds. Make sure you talk about what people can learn or benefit from in those hooks. and make sure you cut out
all the fluff in your videos. It's funny how some people in the comments will say, "You talk too much, Odetta." And some will say, "You don't go slow enough for me to get it." It's going to be hard to find a happy medium. Just do your
best. And something else that you should be aware of is the fact that your channel will not monetize overnight. And yes, there are channels that monetize pretty quickly, but I don't want you to go in with that mindset. going prepared
to post consistently using some of these methods and others that you learn online for at least a year before you decide, oh, I'm going to throw in the towel because this is not a getrich quick scheme. Nor is it a fastpaced option to
monetize despite the fact that many people are doing it in record time. You can actually use a computer, you can use a smartphone or a tablet for most of
what I just shared with you to create your faceless channel and to post consistently. Thank you for watching and remember, if you're not yet a part of my private membership community, you can click the link below to join me there.
