The video presents seven proven faceless content niches for TikTok and YouTube Shorts, emphasizing the importance of using your own voice over AI, generating high-quality visuals, and labeling AI-generated content. It provides examples of successful channels and practical tips for creating engaging content in each niche.
The creator has generated millions of views in this space and is sharing the best niches for starting a new page, with a focus on what works and what doesn't.
Commentary channels are everywhere and can be made on any topic. They involve compiling clips and adding commentary. The creator advises against using AI voices, recommending your own voice for better monetization and authenticity.
These niches get millions of views, and you don't need to play the games. AI tools have lowered the barrier to entry, making it easy to create simple animations. Example: a Roblox animation channel with 16 million views on a video.
A page called 'Safety Off' creates AI-generated military stories, which perform well. It's important to label AI-generated content to avoid being removed from monetization programs.
There's high demand for nature documentaries, and AI can generate these fully. A video about a bird cleaning a crocodile's teeth got a million views, despite being obviously AI-generated. Use tools like SeaDance or Flow for creation.
With GTA 6 releasing in less than a month, there's a huge opportunity for news, predictions, and gameplay content. Start creating content now to build an audience before the game launches.
A new niche on Instagram involves hyperrealistic AI-generated 2000s rom-com style videos. These are engaging and can get millions of views, even though everyone knows they're AI.
News accounts can get high views by quickly covering breaking stories. It requires being very online and fast, but videos are easy to make with narration over news clips.

07:16[00:01] I've managed to generate millions of views in this space. Some pages did a some of this on my channel, you know, tested out what works and what doesn't. recap video and I'd drop all the sauce and give you my best niche
[00:17] [music] Basically, if you're looking at starting a new page and you're starting to take this seriously now, this is the best video to start on. All right, first these videos are everywhere. You've 100% seen them before,
[00:30] that's changed. Because you have to make these videos in a certain way or you won't get monetized. YouTube and TikTok are not the same as what they was a year have to do now. So, you can actually make a commentary channel on anything.
[00:44] Discovery Dose. If we just sort by popular, you can see 100 million, 100 million, 66 million, 60 million, 50 million, 50 million. It's safe to say aren't going anywhere. It's just what you actually decide to do your
[01:00] more established, but as you can see, there's a theme of like animals a lot. now, >> Why do bears catch salmon just to throw most of it away? Because after catching a fish, they'll sometimes take only a
[01:14] >> It's literally just a bunch of clips thrown together and a commentary over it and it's just like an interesting question. It's so simple. Like, this style of content is so simple, but it it is just tried and tested. People are
[01:28] like this stuff. I would say though, do not use an AI voice for this. YouTube at the minute. And if you can, use your own voice. Like, literally, you don't just use your phone, put it to your mouth and speak. If you're desperate to
[01:41] just going to make sure you pick a unique one and make sure it's good no good. Like, you can literally do this for anything. Like, this guy's in the anime niche and as you can see again, if we sort by popular, 4 million, 4
[01:53] million, 3 million, 3 million, 3 million. There's so many views. And And >> Pluto without Kurama might sound like a downgrade, but don't be fooled. He's >> the same format. We just got you guys speaking. This guy's using an AI voice
[02:07] it's quite a high-quality one, so he can get away with it. And it's just like ain't even just using videos, and he's just speaking over it, and they're getting views. Obviously, the drawback with commentary channels is you have to
[02:19] know, do a bit of research on the subject. It's so it's good if you, you his anime. You can literally do this with anything, and that's why it's one that I want to show you is like Roblox and Minecraft animations. You might be
[02:33] animations going to make me money online?" I'm telling you, do not sleep getting millions and millions of views on this, and you don't have to be an been watching my channel, I actually did a challenge video where I actually, you
[02:47] them online to see if they'd get any views. We did all right, to be fair. And what really blew me away is how easy you can create animation videos with AI now.
[02:59] Like, genuinely, the barrier to entry has never been so low. So, your Roblox as this. You can definitely just use AI for this sort of stuff. I I don't really cube, but it's a Roblox guy. But, the video itself has done 16 million views.
[03:14] What? What? This guy's whole channel are just weird Roblox animations, and there And like I said, you don't even have to play Roblox. You don't even have to play Minecraft. Like, these are just two incredibly popular games that people
[03:27] love to watch, and you can just animate them and make like silly little stories. And because they've got such a high viewership, people will just watch your niche. Before we go into the next niche, I'll give you a little bonus one here.
[03:39] You don't just have to, you know, animate Roblox and Minecraft. You could there's this page here called Safety Off. This one's all about military, but you click on this video here, you can see he's got like this military
[03:53] And then it's kind of like a story. It It It It's telling a story with like actually get views, you know? They actually do well. And obviously this is all AI. This isn't real at all. You know, he's doing fairly well. And what's
[04:08] really important, obviously, is that all these videos are over a minute long, so monetization. And the really key thing here is what you're going to have to do if you do use AI going forward, you just need to label it as AI generated. Like
[04:20] removed from the program because you're being upfront with the audience. You can just need to put that little label on and everything's sound. And you also Like this, you can see that it's super high-quality AI. Do not generate in
[04:35] 720p. When you're generating these videos and images, generate in 1080p. be like, "Get this garbage off my platform." And we don't want that. So again, another good example of an animation page you could make. Animal
[04:48] documentaries is up next. Why do people care about animal documentaries? Well, documentaries forever. Honestly, I love this stuff. Put on some David Attenborough, you know, give you a nice little hot chocolate, and I'm I'm I'm
[05:00] hour. So there's a high demand for this type of stuff. It means obviously that know, like the nature documentary animal stuff into short-form content. So here's about. What What I find crazy about this guy is, as you can see here, 3 hours
[05:15] ago, 1 day ago, 1 day ago, 2 days ago, 2 days ago. This guy is hungry. He is them. He is getting them. As you can see, that one did 400,000, that did
[05:27] see, that one did 400,000, that did 40,000, that's done 80,000, 300,000, a Now, let's say if we look at like the 1 million view video here, >> Meal hardened between the teeth. >> you can see that it's kind of like
[05:39] documentary style. You know, it's like more David Attenborough than a techniques that you'd use for a commentary video, where where you you voice or you actually speak yourself, put some captions on the screen. Now,
[05:53] what's really clever about this stuff, that all these videos are AI generated, so you can create your own nature documentaries now, fully generated, and people don't care. People don't care that it's not real or these aren't real
[06:06] images. This video did a million views. I can tell it's AI. You can tell it's in the comments are saying. Is this true? Birds acting as toothpick cleaner arrived. Toothpick God is great. Someone's put is it AI there. People
[06:20] video. It's got 20,000 likes and obviously it's got a million views so this is one of the best niches you can do right now. And it's so easy to with either with SeaDance or with Flow. For example here, you know the bird
[06:35] there. I could just go over to OpenArt here. I'm just going to use SeaDance 2.0. I've put in a little prompt. High quality video of a bird picking some bird is in the crocodile's mouth but the crocodile's calm. Just like the video
[06:48] what's in my generation history here, I'm doing a TikTok shop challenge right now. Promise it's not as weird as it looks. All will be revealed in like one the video's finished generating now. You've got your bird. It's eating the
[07:01] it's a super simple thing. You know, that's theirs and that's ours. It's not honestly, for the amount of views these videos get, it'd be super easy just to mass produce these. Boys, it is less than 1 month away as of recording this
[07:16] than 1 month away as of recording this video before we get GTA 6. I genuinely cannot wait. There's going to be so many videos because there's going to be There'll going to be millions and millions of views on the table. People
[07:29] day and night. And I reckon like literally new celebrities, we're talking about new streamers that we've never heard of, new clippers that we've never be making thousands and thousands of dollars off this game from just making
[07:44] "Well, I can't do anything right now. GTA is not even out." Course you can. You can start making GTA 6 news content, you know, GTA 6 prediction content. You GTA 6 content now. You You actually a bit late to the scene. Smashing this
[07:59] stuff out so when the game comes out, you know, you can essentially play the game and get paid from it. Next up is a brand new niche. I'm telling you you've not seen this before or like it's very very new and it's blowing up right now.
[08:14] Instagram first cuz it seems to be Instagram that's taking off. If I go over to real section here, you can see like 90 million views, 9.4 million views, like insane views and just an insane amount. If I click play on this
[08:27] video, let's watch it. >> Ow. What a welcome. Oh. Saturday. >> But as you can see it's like some hyperrealistic 2000s rom-com
[08:42] um style of content. Like it's it's weird. It's like it's it's very weird, but it's so engaging. I obviously everyone knows it's AI, but they just don't care because the stories and hooks are so good like Let me play this.
[08:55] >> Why do you women [music] always make such a big deal out of that? Want to try? >> Like you engage like you you generally going on on my screen right now. It's it's crazy, but like like people find
[09:08] that funny and people engage with it and they like it. So this person here is obviously smashing it on Instagram, so they made a TikTok page like a brand new and obviously they've only got 800 followers cuz it's a brand new page, but
[09:23] blowing up, one of their videos have already got 300,000 views. That video you on Instagram. And like this page is going to blow up soon because this style of content just works so well. News content. So it's no secret the world is
[09:39] don't know what's going on. I don't really pay attention to the news too much cuz there's just too much going on, but there are people that do and are just keen to watch this content like they consume it so much. So this is what
[09:51] this guy is doing. He's got a news account and he's basically posting the could fly. He made a video on this and like when the news had broken and just what's going on. Some of these videos like this one down here has done 900,000
[10:05] views. It is completely on the news and it is a bit like hit and miss depending on the news story that you break and how fast you actually, you know, make your video. You have to be very online and very locked into yourself, but obviously
[10:18] there and these videos are super easy to make because you can just get content on the news and just do a little narration over it and you sound then you could get for you. I'm just finishing up the video now. I think the advice that I want to
[10:31] leave you on is just do something that you're actually interested in. Don't I'm not not really into that. Pick something that you can actually see least the next three or four months cuz that's how long it might take to get one
[10:45] of your pages to take off. You're not going to be an amazing video editor when You're not just going to magic millions of views into your account, but the learning the skills and if you pick one of these niches that are tried and
[10:57] tested, then you've got more chance of actually blowing up. You do the reps and keep on being consistent, you should eventually break through and hopefully content grind. But yeah, definitely like if you enjoyed this video and I'll see
[11:09] if you enjoyed this video and I'll see you all in the next
