[00:02] faceless niches again, which are absolutely blowing up. These are all niches I would go into myself if I would get started with faceless YouTube channels today. Now, for the people who don't know who I am, I'm Stefan, 23

[00:16] years old, currently make between 30 and 40,000 dollars a month running my own faceless YouTube channels and, you know, constantly starting new ones as we can see right here. Then, I've made 42,000 dollars with just two videos as we can

[00:29] see here. And I've scaled the channel from zero to 48,000 dollars in 30 days. And then, you know, I've helped hundreds of other people do the exact same thing. For example, Martin's with help to scale up to 31,000 dollars in one single

[00:42] dollars in one single month. Here one 24,000 dollars in a single month. Here, you know, 25,000 dollars in a week. Here at the first 1,000 dollars in the in the first month. Here another student absolutely crushing it and many, many

[00:55] getting the exact same results, check description. Book your call with me and let's have a look how we can scale it up together. Now, with that being said, I would say let's get let's get started

[01:08] with the first niche, which is called Secrets of Simple Things. Now, I I on purpose added this to the first niche just because it is very interesting. It's a very interesting niche that's been popping off recently. So,

[01:22] this channel here is currently getting 130,000 views in the last 7 days. This channel is already like 6 months old and they've posted like 330 videos. Now, what this channel does is something very specific. So, they are

[01:37] basically explaining specific things here. Just as an example here, what exactly is a silica gel? Just as an example. So, they're explaining like weird things that nobody really explains and they're explaining exactly that. And

[01:51] these videos are extremely simple and that makes or enables them to post a lot of videos, okay? So, as we can see, this video posted 380 videos until now and video posted 380 videos until now and has gotten 3.7 million views, which is

[02:05] know, I wouldn't even say the best, but it's working. And if something is working, we do not want to change it. So, it's in general a very interesting you can just do a video after video

[02:18] after video after video, you know, this is a perfect channel for you to go for. I always say these are volume channels. So, they're posting a lot and then, you know, one or two or three videos a week go viral. So, super awesome

[02:31] channel, very interesting, perfect for guys who, you know, don't have, like, who who have a lot of time and want to kind of um post videos themselves or people who have quite a bit of money and they just want to spam out videos. Super

[02:44] cool channel. Now, let's go on to the next one, which is called Throwback America. Um awesome channel, very interesting. So, as we can see here, 26 videos, 3,000 subscribers, and then has gotten 700,000

[02:57] views. The RPM, this is like kind of a history female history channel about, you know, here, 10 iconic 10 iconic toys from the 1960s that were forgotten, but mainly focused on women, right? I always say the woman niche on YouTube or the

[03:12] woman space is completely empty, very very unsaturated. So, this is for sure something to always, you know, look into if you cannot do if you maybe can do something for for women, right? So, this channel will probably have a pretty

[03:24] decent RPM. Let's have a look at the RPM. Uh if you want to know what I'm using to kind of load up the RPMs, this is called Next Level, right? Super awesome tool for, you know, always kind of seeing the

[03:37] RPM of channels, seeing how many views the channels are getting, all of these things, which is all very important information for you if you want to go into a niche, all right? So, here we can see now, this channel has a $4.5

[03:50] um $4.5 RPM and it's made $2,600 in the last 30 days. Awesome channel, very consistent overall, so absolutely love old, all right? So, new channel absolutely crushing it. Then we have the

[04:05] absolutely crushing it. Then we have the next one, Old World Proof. 21 21 videos, 24,000 subscribers. So, here's a crazy one. 1.4 million views in the last Let's have a look how old this In the last month, all right? In the last month.

[04:19] Now, the most popular video has gotten 300,000 views, then 280,000 views, 250. So, it seems like the channel is getting quite decent views, very consistent Now, what is also awesome They have a very interesting thumbnail style, which

[04:34] I actually really like a lot. And it's not a very difficult thumbnail style, so anyone can kind of replicate this thumbnail style. When it comes to the difficult to create. Something I'd recommend you guys to do though, if you

[04:47] want to go into this niche, use real images, all right? Don't use too much of um too much AI. I would use real images as well. Here we can, by the way, at the side already see that the RPM is about five four to five dollars

[05:01] for this channel, which is pretty good. So, here we can even see this video here has a $13 RPM, which is even better. So, let's actually have a look at the interesting to see what the average RPM on this

[05:16] channel is. So, let's load this up and see. But yeah, 21 videos at 1.4 million views until now, that is really not too bad. This channel owner can, no joke, not complain about the money he's making. So, on average it's $6 RPM. So,

[05:30] this channel is making round about, let's say, 6,000, 8,000, something like cool. And then we have True Vietnam Docs. This is a channel about the Vietnam War. Um very interesting at all as well always.

[05:45] These kind of channels always pop off and get a lot of views, all right? So, and get a lot of views, all right? So, 38 videos and 4,000 subscribers until now, 1 million views until now in the first 3 months. The most popular video

[05:58] has now 360,000 views, which is very strong. 150,000 views. Now, something you will see on this channel is that, you know, they are not creating the war videos that, you know, everyone knows. These videos are with actual footage,

[06:12] These videos are with actual footage, actual photos. You will find them on on YouTube and like in general all over the internet you'll find these kind of video clips and images. So, awesome channel, the thumbnail style

[06:24] absolutely love it. Pretty good, looks good, works good, and this channel is, you know, getting 55,000 views in every 7 days at the moment. So, that's not the most, but usually you will always get one or two videos that get insane views

[06:37] in a niche like this, all right? Then we jump onto the next one. The general the gen- the general's oath. So, this channel is getting, let's have a look. It's still loading. It's getting 110,000 views every

[06:53] um every 7 days. Now, the oldest video is 5 months old, so it's already a bit older. The most popular video now has 212,000 views, which is pretty good. I absolutely like the thumbnails. Again, I

[07:07] would always use real footage in, you know, a niche like this. And um yeah, awesome channel, doing very very well. Super beginner friendly, are very easy to create, and let's go on to the next one. All right, so the next niche is

[07:21] called truck culture. So, this is a niche in the trucking space, which does very well. So, here we can see 8,000 subscribers, 25 videos, and it's getting 550,000 views in the last 7 days, which is

[07:35] absolutely crazy. Okay, not many channels do that, especially not if the channels are very new. Okay, this channel is now not very new, but it only recently as we can see here, like

[07:48] literally not even a month ago where it started completely blowing up. If we look at the content, the content is also pretty easy to create. It's mainly just video clips under a voice over. So, nothing nothing extremely difficult.

[08:01] Their most popular video now has, let's have a look, the most popular video now has 2.2 million views then 650,000 views. So, and again super simple clips. It seems like these clips are actually generated with AI as far as I

[08:15] can see here. Now, these videos here are a bit more high quality than the ones before. They have a not a high RPM, so only a $2 RPM, not the highest, but I would say, you know, Next Level and all of these tools

[08:28] give you a lower RPM than the niche actually has. So, yeah, but the views in this niche are absolutely crazy. Super cool niche. Thumbnails are pretty simple cool niche. Thumbnails are pretty simple as well and also very beginner friendly.

[08:41] Then we have here Vintage Haven. This is a music channel and this channel is doing very well. So, first our most popular video has now 55,000 views. Very new channel. The oldest video is now just 4 weeks ago.

[08:56] So, you know, just 4 weeks ago absolutely crushing it. I, you know, I have a video on this channel showing you guys exactly how to create music channels and we actually have a student, you know, who made

[09:08] don't want to make some promises and stuff like that, you know, YouTube can sometimes be a bit more strict on that, but a student that is absolutely crushing it. In the first month, we have a interview coming with him very soon

[09:22] and, you know, he's running a music channel, got it monetized in 13 days, so absolutely crushing it. Now, if you want to get the same help as he did, you like for example this student who scaled to $8,000 a month or this one $18,000 a

[09:37] the video description, book a completely free call with me, and let's scale up some faceless YouTube channels. And yeah, maybe a music channel as well, if that's something you would be interested in. Then we have the next channel, which

[09:51] is called Village Red Red. So, this is a channel about pirates. So, here we can see it's only getting 27,000 views in the last 7 days, but what we can see is they recently had a pre-viral video again with 51,000 views. And in

[10:05] general, they're not posting that much, right? Now, the cool thing is on this channel you will have a high RPM because they are posting longer videos, and this channel is only 2 months old. So, it is still a very new channel, as we can see,

[10:19] and it's doing very well. It has a very consistent thumbnail style across all thumbnails and across the whole channel. When we look at the videos, you know, we can see it's like it is AI-generated images, as far as I can see. Now, I

[10:31] would recommend you again to use real footage such as real images, and mix that together with AI content or AI videos or, you know, photos, because we do not want our videos to look mass-produced, okay? Very very

[10:45] But, otherwise, super super interesting channel, absolutely crushing it until now. With just 20 videos, it got over a million views. Then we have this channel million views. Then we have this channel right here, Open Lens, 69 videos, 3,000

[10:59] subscribers. But, let me show you something. So, this is an older channel that only recently started posting again 1 month ago, and it's posting like videos on on huge buildings, on mega projects, and it's doing very very well.

[11:13] So, the first video got 30,000 views, then 3,000 views, then 240,000 views, then 50,000 views, then 18,000 views. The thing though here is that this channel is not very active, and you can post way more, and I mean, way more in a

[11:28] niche like this, and probably scale up to like a easy a million views a month in a niche exactly like this one where it comes breaking news kind of thumbnails works

[11:40] very well all of the time always works well and it's just a insane view driver and um super cool channel currently getting only 23,000 views in the last 7 days but that's because they are super inactive.

[11:56] Let's actually load up the RPM for this channel to see what this channel is actually making um or what the RPM is. So let's have a look. So this is still loading. Let's have a

[12:10] look. Oh it's loading. Like by the way if you guys want to know how I kind of load up these um RPMs I use something called Next something called Next Level. I'll link it in the video description for you

[12:22] guys. Super cool. It's like €13 a month uh but super worth it and I have like a 20% discount code for you too. But yeah $6 RPM not too bad. Then we have Gangster Files. So this is something some of you guys

[12:35] might be interested in. So the oldest video is now just 1 month old. Pretty uh video is now just 1 month old. Pretty uh cool thumbnails like very not too like and white text and then like kind of vintage um

[12:48] style images but the most popular video on this channel now has 288,000 views and the average video on this channel is about 30 minutes long. So this is a for sure a channel that's probably going to have a decent firstly decent RPM and

[13:03] then secondly a older group of people is going to watch this kind of content and the content should not be too difficult to create. So if you look at this this video it's all just you know images probably from Google that they added

[13:16] together over the voice of them. So not too difficult to to do. Now guys if you your faceless YouTube channel just like we did here with Antonin we scale we monetized in just 20 days. Or here, student that we scaled up to $4,000 a

[13:31] month. Then check out the first link in the video description, book a call with me, and I'll see you on the call, or I'll see you in the next video.
