AI Summary

This video reveals 10 faceless YouTube niches that can generate over $5,000 per month, based on the creator's 5 years of experience building multiple channels to millions of subscribers. It provides specific channel examples, revenue data, and strategic advice for each niche, emphasizing long-term, evergreen content that can outperform a typical job.

[00:00]
The Promise: $5,000+ Monthly Niches

The video promises to reveal 10 faceless YouTube niches that can pay better than a typical US job ($4,000-$5,000/month), based on the creator's 5 years of experience building channels to millions of subscribers and earning millions in AdSense.

[00:40]
Niche 1: American Football

This niche is often overlooked outside the US but is massive. The example channel 'Blitz' has 93 videos, 160,000 subscribers, and over 2.8 million views in the last 30 days, indicating high earning potential.

[14:15]
Consistency and Evolution

Successful channels like the one mentioned have been consistent for about 5 years, evolving their format (e.g., from 'countries that will pay you to live here' to '15 things fast about Connecticut') and seeing significant revenue, with some making upwards of $12,000 per month.

[14:43]
The Mistake of Overthinking

The creator advises against waiting for a unique format. Instead, you should start, experiment, and let the data guide you. Once you have a small audience, you can build a long-term, evergreen brand.

[15:10]
Niche: Women's Fashion (Over 50)

This niche is highly profitable, with examples like 'Rock Your Fashion' making $3,000-$4,000 per month. The creator notes that this niche is even easier in other languages (e.g., Spanish, Romanian) with less competition, citing channels making $1,000-$2,000 per month.

[16:32]
Niche: Mega Builds & Construction

This evergreen niche doesn't require daily trend-chasing. Channels like 'Mega Builds' have been posting for 5 years, with videos getting 52 million views and channels making over $14,000 per month. Smaller channels like 'NextGen Production' can also earn $3,000 per month with only 85 videos and 5,000 subscribers.

[18:08]
Real-World Success Story

A client named Solver built a channel in this niche, made $5,000-$7,000 per month, and then sold the asset for $155,000, using the money as a down payment on a house.

The video concludes that with the right niche, consistency, and a willingness to experiment, faceless YouTube channels can be a lucrative, long-term income source, potentially replacing a traditional job.

[00:00] If you want to make money on YouTube without showing your face, without other people knowing that you are making content, then in this video, I'm going to show you 10 faceless YouTube niches that actually can pay better than your job.

[00:12] And that's exactly what I've done 5 years ago, and since then, started more channels, got millions of subscribers, made millions of dollars in AdSense revenue, so let's get into it. Now, the typical job in the US makes about $4,000 to $5,000 a month,

[00:26] So all of these niches, all of the channels that I will be showing you today will be making at least $5,000 plus per month. But some of them will be making a lot more than that. Let's cover the niche that's often overlooked by people outside the US, but it's massive.

[00:40] American football. I know a lot of you are either working in sports or are passionate about sports, especially the men watching. And here's the thing. You can basically start any sports channel and if you do it right, you can make $5,000 a month or more.

[00:53] The channel that I want to show you here, it's called Blitz, right? They have 93 videos and they have 160,000 views, which is great. If you see their channel stats right here, they got over 2.8 million views in the last 30 days, which is just insane.

[01:06] And they have estimated monthly earnings of up to $8,000. Their videos are slightly longer, so about 20 minutes, which means they have a slightly higher cost of production. But, I mean, this is just out of this world. They're insanely, insanely well done.

[01:18] And they don't have a lot of competition. There's not a lot of channels like this one out there making money in American football. world-related topics which I think it's a good opportunity for you. I mean, they have videos with 4.8 million views, 3.2 million views, 3 million views on a single video. And in total, let's see,

[01:35] they've gotten over 62 million views. If we give them a conservative $5 RPM, they've made over $300,000 from this channel alone, just in absence of revenue, no brand deals, no affiliate marketing,

[01:47] just add $300,000. And look, I've never played American football, never went to an American I went to college in Romania, so I don't know much about the sport. But what I do know, their videos are so well produced that even I wanna watch them and

[01:59] I don't even follow the sport. So the big thing here is production value and team. If you can put together a good team and build a good audience, you're not just making cashflow. You're building a digital asset with real enterprise value and that's not true for every

[02:12] channel. If you just post random topics or have low production, you're not building a valuable asset, but with a channel like this, you definitely are. So if you are interested in American football or sports in general, you can start channeling it and potentially make more money than your current job and it could be basketball, golf,

[02:26] even fishing. Next stop, cars. I think almost everyone watching this video is interested in cars and I was too. Two years ago, I started a channel called Vintage Vehicles and it went on to make me over $100,000 in assets revenue plus another $100,000 in enterprise value and that's

[02:43] over $200,000 in the car niche that I built in less than 12 months. So, as you can see, on vintage vehicles, I was making videos about vintage pickup trucks. That was the first kind of format that worked.

[02:55] And then it just evolved. We took everything from pickup trucks to motorcycles to trucks. And it was all over the place. But the most popular video, funny enough, was 20 car innovations that did not stand the test of time.

[03:08] So, if you go here in Lifetime, you can see that it generated over $129,000 in absence revenue alone. and that one video that I showed you earlier, the 1.5 million views, this one video alone,

[03:20] 1.5 million views, got $19,244.61, also worth a $50 to $100 investment. By the way, if you want to work with me directly to build a similar channel yourself,

[03:32] I would love to help. Leave your link in the description, book a call, and let's talk about it. Because here's the thing, there is still room in this space. Not many people are doing vintage cars today, or they have really niched down. The mission has definitely expanded since I started the channel,

[03:44] And there are more opportunities than ever. And take a look right here at Cinema Cars. They have 94 videos, 20,000 subscribers, and for some reason, they kind of stopped posting, right? They're not making content anymore. But they have videos on this channel with 600,000 views, 500,000 views, and those are very fun videos, right?

[04:01] If you're passionate about cars and movies, this is the perfect combination. And even more so now that they stopped posting. I don't know why they did, because they were very successful. I mean, they got over 5 million views. They only started making these videos 5-ish months ago.

[04:14] 5 million views in 5 months, that's a million views a month, easily more than $5,000 that this channel was making. So this might be an opportunity. And these are just two formats, vintage cars and cinema cars. There's also budget cars, car tips,

[04:26] motorcycles, and more. So the opportunity is huge. Now, let's talk about the next niche, which is investing. This is probably one of my favorite topics and one of the best niches on today list If I were starting a channel today I would definitely go for something money whether it be investing finance or business The best example that I have for this niche

[04:44] is this channel right here called Nick's Invest. They have 180 videos, but they've only started posting six months ago, so they've really been at it. And since then, they've gotten over 12 million views, which I'll tell you in a second, it's a lot,

[04:57] but they're making up to $23,000 per month in absence revenue. And their viewers are just so good. They're taking big but rather simple financial topics and they're making these animated videos explaining them in a very fun and simple way.

[05:09] And here's the kicker, if you capture an audience in finance, you'll have brands lining up to sponsor your videos. And let me show you another example real quick. Alicia Invest. If you think it's the same playbook, it's even the same name of the channel, the same type of videos, I would say this is not even as good as making hits.

[05:26] But it doesn't really matter because this channel is still making upwards of $7,000 per month. You know how I always say that you don't need to reinvent the wheel, you don't need to find original video ideas. This person right here, this owner, just took what Niche Invest was doing and just created it from a female perspective, right?

[05:42] And it's working. I mean, they're getting a bunch of views. They've only started one month ago, and this channel is already booming. I think you can do this as well. And that's genius. I think there's still so much more room for innovation and new voices in this space.

[05:54] So if you work in finance or investing or if you're just interested, this niche can easily make you $5,000, $10,000, even $20,000 a month once you have gained some traction. Staying in the money realm, for niche number four, let's look at economy news.

[06:08] This is here to finance and investing, but with a broader, maybe documentary style approach. The first channel I want to look at in this niche is called Established Context. In consider by oldest, you can see they started posting one year ago really consistently.

[06:21] They had a video three years ago, two years ago, but nothing crazy. And about one year ago, they really started making this very good looking and very well put together, very well researched documentaries that are working very well for them, right? In their last three days, they're making half a million views.

[06:35] And the beauty with economics or business or finance is that you don't need to get a bunch of views because you are going to get paid more for every thousand views and your RPM is going to be higher. So even with just half a million views a month, this show is making upwards of $7,000.

[06:48] And these videos are definitely well researched, definitely a lot of time went into the production, But I think it's not impossible, especially with AI right now. If you're passionate about this, or maybe if you work in anything related to media or documentaries, this would be an easy win.

[07:02] Epic Economist is another example, and they're slightly different. They're almost like a TV show, like a news show, but on YouTube, right? They have been posted for quite some time. They've been at it for seven years now. And, I mean, for merit, they've gotten over 120 million views.

[07:16] I cannot do the math right now, but I think that's over a million dollars in absence revenue alone, if I'm not mistaken, which is very, very good. Even if you divide it by seven years, that's more than a six-figure salary each and every single year. And recently, they started adding a character in their thumbnails to make the videos look more appealing and to make them seem more.

[07:34] But for the longest time ever, guys, this is a faceless channel. So if we scroll down, for the first six years and seven months, they didn't have a face and they just started adding it. Now, I don't think you need that. I don't think you need to have a face. And there's definitely more room because there's more space for use.

[07:48] People always want to see use every single day, which allows them to post a high volume of content. But it also allows you to find your own sum niche. Allows you to pivot just a little bit to the left, a little bit to the right, and make a similar channel like this, and potentially make more than $5,000 a month.

[08:02] I mean, right now, they're getting upwards of $10,000 a month. And again, they've made over a million dollars from Alston's revenue alone, so definitely possible. Now, freaking here is a little bit, because I know not everybody is interested in finance. Let's talk about TV shows.

[08:15] I don't watch much TV myself, but these channels are just sick. I really like them in general, as concerts, even though I don't even know the TV shows that they're talking about. So if you do, I'm sure you're going to love them even more. I found a channel right here called The Rookie Central,

[08:27] which I later learned that it's actually a show, a whole show. So there is an entire channel, Facebook's YouTube channel by an owner that has nothing to do with the show, that is making videos and kind of commentating and making notes and jokes

[08:39] at what these people are doing in this series. And it's doing very well for them. They're getting over 2.2 million views in the last 30 days, which brings them up to $10,000 in absence revenue alone. And this is only about one show.

[08:51] If you love a particular show or are watching one right now that you think is going to be around for at least a couple of years, you can definitely do something similar. And even if you don't, I think these news still have potential. Because let's take a look at this. The Reality Buzz is another channel that started five years ago.

[09:06] So they've been making this type of content for five years now. And they cover multiple shows. They have what? They have Hell's Kitchen. They have Barf Rescue right here They have MasterChef It used to be a lot of cooking shows but I sure you could do this for multiple shows together and again they been doing this for the last five years and they are still making upwards of five thousand dollars per month right now The key here is

[09:25] knowing what these fans want because these are die-hard audiences and you have to resonate with them if you want to have an unfair advantage right. A perfect example that I have here is that someone in my community has a channel similar to this one, The Red Five, and it's basically all

[09:38] all about Star Wars as you can see. Now it might seem more, it might be niche, but I know that my client makes more than $10,000 per month, consistently, and obviously for your privacy I'm not going to regret the channel that it is, but it's very similar

[09:50] to Star Wars, and I can tell you that they definitely make a bunch of money, and if they can be a Star Wars channel, and actually multiple of them, I'm sure there can be more channels like this about other shows and other movie series. For niche number six, this is something

[10:03] they might not have thought about, royal and celebrity channels. Now I'm sure you've seen videos or channels like this one, Wealth Vault, right? They cover the most expensive stuff in the world. They make these very nice looking channels like, stupidly expensive thing in

[10:15] Los Angeles, 1.9 million views, billionaires, most expensive cars, cars even millionaires can afford, a bunch of wealth, right? A lot of luxury. And the crazy thing is, this show is only posting once a week, like as you can see, seven days ago, two weeks ago, three weeks ago. They've only

[10:31] posted 79 videos in total, and they're still making $3,000 a month, right? It's not quite up there for $5,000 per month goal, but I think if you just post a little bit more and are able to make this type of quality, which now with AI it's easier, you can definitely up that to $5,000.

[10:46] It's very possible to make money with faces videos of wealth, luxury, and expensive items. But here's the twist. I found a channel called Buzz Stories. As you can see from their banner and from their videos, they focus mostly on royalties, right? People in position of power or different royalties

[11:01] from all around the world, which is obviously a smaller niche, right? I think it's even a sub-niche of wealth and luxury. But here's the crazy part. Because they post more videos and they sub-niche, they actually make more money, not less, compared to Wealthful. This channel

[11:14] is making upwards of $7,000 a month, so more than double. That saying that the riches are in the niches definitely applies right here. And I'm sure there might be more space in royal celebrities and covering topics like this one. But if not, I'm sure there's other

[11:27] pockets, there's other sub-niches that you can do and start a wealthy or a luxury channel in and make that $5,000 per month. $5,000 a month is definitely possible and with the right angle, it can even go much higher. Up next, military history is a classic niche with a passionate

[11:42] audience. I haven't been in the military myself, but my father did and I know how much he loves to talk about it. And there's a lot of diversity here. Some channels focus only on wars like World War II, others only focus on fighter jets, and others on naval history. And I'm going to show

[11:55] you two channels right here. The first one is called Dark Seas. They've been around for quite some time for 40 years now and this is good because this proves that okay this is an evergreen niche that once you crack it you can make money for multiple years to come not just for a couple

[12:09] of months right and recently they post a bunch of videos about allied navies the titanic they put guns on a massive ship for nothing the smallest luckiest crazy ship of all world too so they cover

[12:22] a lot of different topics from naval ships to submarines to guns etc and they're doing pretty good as far as I remember. They're making upwards of $5,000 per month. And another interesting one that I really like, it's called Navy Media. So they're more niche. They're more focused on

[12:36] naval stuff. They've only posted 155 videos. They've also been around for quite some time, I would say two-ish years. And I would say overall, they just have a better production, right? Their tunnels are better. They're getting more views. I think they're posting a little bit

[12:49] more as well. And as you guessed it, that leads to them making more money. This one is making up to $10,000 per month, which is double than Dark Seas, but once again we have the proof that going niche actually can make you more money if the topic is big and broad enough,

[13:02] of course. In the past, you needed deep expertise to make this kind of, but now, with AI, you can research and write scripts much more easily and definitely more cost-efficiently. But this niche is not for everyone, it's better to have a real passion for military

[13:14] topics or who work or have work in the field. I think if you're just chasing the money, you'll get outworked and outsmarted by someone who genuinely loves the subject and has the extra edge. So for the right person, military history channels are perfect candidates for $5,000 to $7,000 per month.

[13:29] By the way, if you want to work with me directly to build a similar channel yourself, I would love to help. Leave your link in the description, book a call, and let's talk about it. In the era of geopolitics, it's a more serious evergreen niche, but similar to military history.

[13:41] You need to be somewhat interested in geography and global affairs, but if you do, and if you succeed in this niche, the rewards are huge. because recently I've seen more and more channels making 10 to 20 dollars a month in this space because the audience is global usually well and has higher spending power So the RPM is high and the content is always relevant

[14:02] So there's a lot of it. And for this issue, I'll just give you one example because I think it's so good, but just know that there's multiple ways that this can be done, and there's multiple formats here as well. Let's look at a show unfold across the globe. They make very good videos,

[14:15] and very often, and as you can see, if you filter by most popular, you'll see that they have different formats throughout their history. Like, countries that will pay you to live here, cheapest countries to live, why nobody lives in them big cities. And more recently, they're doing 15 things fast about Connecticut that sound fake.

[14:31] Or it begins, 15 fastest shops in countries in 2026. Between all these videos, they've been around for about 5 years now. So, they've definitely been consistent. Again, another good sign that this can make money for the long term.

[14:43] And recently, they're making upwards of $12,000 a month with relatively simple videos. But here's the mistake that most people make, or at least they think, right? They think you need to have a unique format before you start, when in reality, you should try a little bit of everything and see what works and then double down.

[14:58] So my recommendation is don't overthink it. Start, experiment, and let the results, let the data guide you. And once you have a small audience and a brand, you can make money for years to come because it's a very long-term, very evergreen niche.

[15:10] Now, I feel like we only talk about manly niches, right? But let's talk about one that's more for the ladies, but not exclusively. Women's fashion and especially women over 50. And funny enough, I actually have a male client who's made tens of thousands of dollars with

[15:23] a channel just like these. Featured Rock Your Fashion is probably the perfect example, right? They're making videos like 10 Italian Style Secrets That Change Everything, 50 Plus Women's Fashion, 7 Genius White Shirt Styling Hacks, New Tenek More Expensive, Over 50, 21,000

[15:38] views 11 days ago, and some of their most popular videos are pulling in hundreds of thousands of views as you can see, right? All in all, they are making about $3,000 per month, posting twice a week, and they are

[15:50] posting short videos as well, 11 minutes. I would say this is overall a decent, good channel. The channels I've seen usually make $3,000 to $4,000 per month consistently, but I would say $5,000 per month is a stretch until you really nail a new format or expand into other

[16:04] languages with other channels. And actually, I think this niche is going to be even easier if you do it in another language, because I found two channels, one in Spanish and one in Romanian, that are making one to two thousand dollars per month with no competition.

[16:17] And I think all they're doing is they're just taking the videos that have worked well in English and they're just making them in another language, making some side hustle money. Traffic in a video is going to be a little bit more complex than you can talk about it, but I just wanted to put it on your radar and know that it's possible to make money

[16:32] not only with English channels, but with generally any language really. And finally for number 10, let's talk about mega builds, construction, architecture and massive engineering projects. The advantage is that you don't need to keep up with the daily trends, you just need to

[16:45] make sure that you are the first one to cover the new projects when they happen. So if you work in construction, architecture, or just love mega builds, this niche is perfect. It's evergreen, it's high paying, and has real exit value if you ever want to sell your

[17:00] asset. And let me show you two different examples that this can be done at two different levels. So the first one is mega builds, which obviously is probably one of the biggest channels in the space they've been posting for five years now they have videos that got 52 million views 40

[17:15] million views almost 10 million views so like they've really been there and done that for the longest time i'm curious how many views they have in total yeah over 400 million views guys right you do the math on how much money that is give them a higher rpm i'll say seven is pretty pretty

[17:29] good and they're still posting to this day every single week now this tracker right here says they're making upwards of 14 000 dollars per month i would say it's more but they definitely putting the effort in, they have a good production, and obviously they know what they're doing. They've been doing this for five years.

[17:44] However, you don't need to be mega-billed to make money in this niche. Here's this other channel right here called NextGen Production. They started making videos about three months ago, and they were kind of in a different niche as you can see.

[17:56] They were more on the assembly line, on how things are made, etc. But now they kind of pivoted, and they are covering mega projects and construction, and this channel is also getting $3,000 per month

[18:08] with only 85 videos and 5,000 subscribers. I have a client in my community actually, Solver, who built a channel like this, made $5,000 to $7,000 per month and then sold the asset for $155,000.

[18:21] He used the money as a down payment of the new house which I think is just amazing. So with that being said, I'm confident we can help you do something similar as well. So if you are interested in working together, use the link in the description to book a call and we can chat about it.

[18:33] See you in the next one.
