The Best Faceless AI YouTube Niches To Start NOW

[00:00] Can I show you faceless AI YouTube

[00:02] niches that [music] are insanely viral,

[00:04] getting millions of views that I can

[00:07] prove are [music] actually being

[00:08] monetized? And can I show you the

[00:10] prompts and AI models that I use to make

[00:13] videos [music] exactly like these two?

[00:15] Well, that's the challenge I have set

[00:16] myself today. So, thank you to Higsfield

[00:18] AI for sponsoring today's [music] video.

[00:20] And for now, let's just jump straight

[00:22] into it. And we'll start with the first

[00:23] faceless niche, which is this history

[00:26] recreation videos. Yes, this one is

[00:28] super cool. This is a niche that has

[00:30] been popping off recently and it is

[00:32] popping off big time. People are getting

[00:34] hundreds of thousands to millions of

[00:36] views creating videos which use AI to

[00:38] recreate people and places in history to

[00:41] make it easier to imagine what it all

[00:43] actually looked like. For example, take

[00:45] this video here that has gotten over 2.3

[00:48] million views. It combines AI images

[00:50] with some AI videos together to recreate

[00:52] the history of London and it has an AI

[00:55] voice on top explaining each event as it

[00:57] takes place. It's honestly pretty cool,

[01:00] especially the AI video portions. And

[01:02] so, as a result, people love it and it's

[01:05] growing super fast. They've had lots of

[01:07] long- form videos gained hundreds of

[01:08] thousands to over a million views. And

[01:11] if you pop this channel into

[01:12] SocialBlade, the YouTube channel

[01:14] tracker, you'll see that across the

[01:15] shorts and long videos of this channel,

[01:17] they've gained over 76 million views

[01:20] with a very nice estimated yearly ad

[01:22] earnings range, too. However, of course,

[01:26] this only matters if AI history

[01:28] recreation videos are actually eligible

[01:31] to get monetized, right? Which is why

[01:34] you need to know about the thanks and

[01:35] join button trick because this lets you

[01:37] check if channels in a faceless niche

[01:39] are actually being monetized before you

[01:42] start a channel in it. Yep. So, you

[01:43] might have noticed that some of the

[01:45] channels on YouTube have a join button

[01:47] that lets you join a paid membership

[01:49] program with different tiers that get

[01:51] you exclusive content or features. And

[01:53] you also might have noticed and seen

[01:54] that some videos have a little thanks

[01:56] button that you can click and tip the

[01:58] creator cash. Well, to turn on either

[02:00] memberships or thanks or both, creators

[02:03] need to be in the YouTube monetization

[02:06] partner program as these are optional

[02:08] features only available to monetized

[02:10] channels. Although, as they are

[02:12] optional, lots of channels don't turn

[02:14] them on even if they can. So, just

[02:17] because you don't see either of these

[02:18] buttons on a channel doesn't mean that

[02:20] the channel is not monetized. A lot of

[02:23] creators, such as myself, choose to not

[02:25] turn on memberships because it is extra

[02:28] work to have to manage them. And a lot

[02:30] of creators don't bother turning on the

[02:32] thanks button because honestly, very few

[02:35] viewers actually do leave a tip anyway,

[02:38] which is fair enough, you know. But this

[02:40] trick is still useful because let's say

[02:42] that you are interested in a niche. You

[02:44] can check over multiple channels in the

[02:46] niche to see if any of them have turned

[02:48] these features on. And if they have, you

[02:50] know, their videos are being monetized.

[02:53] So then, if you're interested in

[02:54] starting a channel in this niche, let me

[02:56] show you how I made my own AI historical

[02:59] clip using frame to video, which is when

[03:01] you generate an AI image and then turn

[03:03] it into a video. It's a simple yet

[03:05] effective process, and to do it, I'll be

[03:07] using the video creation tool

[03:08] Hicksfield. So, I just logged in and

[03:10] clicked to generate an image with Nano

[03:12] Banana Pro. And also, full disclosure,

[03:14] as I said earlier, Higsfield agreed to

[03:16] sponsor today's video, and I wanted to

[03:18] use it because what makes Higsfield

[03:20] unique is it combines all of the top

[03:22] video and image generators into a single

[03:24] website. This makes it convenient if,

[03:27] like I will be, you use different images

[03:29] and different video models and you don't

[03:31] want to have to pay for subscriptions to

[03:32] multiple platforms to get access to

[03:35] watermark free images and videos. Plus,

[03:37] as you'll see, I will also use the

[03:39] latest Cling video model a lot. And when

[03:42] I priced it out, it was actually cheaper

[03:44] to use Cling through Higsfield rather

[03:46] than Clling's own website. But yes,

[03:49] check out the image Nano Banana made for

[03:51] me. Love it. So, I downloaded this

[03:53] picture. Then next, I came and opened up

[03:55] the Cling 3.0 video model. And I picked

[03:57] this because honestly, most creators are

[04:00] on a budget and AI videos can be

[04:02] expensive. And Cling 3.0 O is in my

[04:05] opinion probably the best balance right

[04:07] now between price and results for

[04:09] creators who can't afford to spend

[04:11] hundreds of dollars per month on

[04:12] subscription plans. Plus, it includes

[04:14] sound effects, too. It's pretty cool.

[04:17] Check it out.

[04:23] All right, onto the next niche.

[04:24] Impossible ASMR videos. And like with

[04:27] the history recreation videos, this is a

[04:30] niche that has been popping off in the

[04:31] last few months, getting millions of

[04:33] views. People generate videos of

[04:35] impossible things like crazy beds,

[04:38] staircases, pools, things like that. And

[04:40] if you listen to them, you'll see that

[04:42] they have generated sounds as well,

[04:44] which is why they are labeled as ASMR

[04:46] videos. Like, take this one. It's had

[04:48] over 38 million views in the past 3

[04:51] months. We'll give it a quick watch and

[04:53] listen, and you'll see what I mean.

[05:03] And it's kind of crazy, right? This

[05:04] channel has been posting videos now for

[05:06] just 3 months. Yet, if we check it out

[05:08] on SocialBlade, it's already had over 64

[05:10] million long- form views, which

[05:12] unsurprisingly means its estimated

[05:15] average yearly ad earnings range is also

[05:17] very nice, too. But, of course, the

[05:20] question is this. Can this niche even be

[05:22] monetized? And well, the answer is yes.

[05:25] Yes, it is. I found multiple channels in

[05:27] it that had the thanks button or

[05:29] memberships turned on in their videos,

[05:31] which means they are in the partner

[05:33] program. So, if you're interested in

[05:35] making videos in this niche yourself,

[05:37] let me show you how I made a clip in

[05:39] this niche, too. So, first off, I came

[05:41] to my favorite image generator for

[05:43] realistic pictures, Nano Banana Pro, to

[05:45] generate an image for me, which it did

[05:47] no problem. Then, I came to clean 3.0 O

[05:50] and I again used the frame to video

[05:52] option to turn the picture into a video

[05:54] and I made sure that sound effects were

[05:56] turned on since these are crucial for

[05:58] the ASMR component and then I made the

[06:01] video. So check out what it made.

[06:08] So onto the next faceless AI niche, cozy

[06:11] anime videos. Yep, this is another niche

[06:14] that has been popping off in the past

[06:15] few months because previously AI video

[06:18] generators struggled with anime, but

[06:20] recent advances mean that finally it can

[06:23] actually do it. And as a result, anime

[06:25] videos that give off a cozy, calming

[06:27] vibe have been going super viral on

[06:30] YouTube recently. So, for example, you

[06:32] take this cute video here, right? In the

[06:34] past 3 months, it's gained over 2.3

[06:36] million views. It tells a cozy little

[06:39] story of a family going on a camper van

[06:41] trip to the beach. And here's the thing,

[06:43] right? There is actually a pretty simple

[06:45] calculation you can do to try to

[06:47] estimate the ad revenue that a video

[06:49] like this could have earned. Basically,

[06:52] the way that it works is that on

[06:53] YouTube, creators like me get paid by

[06:55] splitting ad revenue with YouTube. And

[06:57] how much we earn depends on what

[06:59] advertisers are willing to pay. So, the

[07:01] amount of money that we get paid

[07:03] generally does change from video to

[07:05] video, but on average, YouTube usually

[07:07] pays us creators about $3 to $8 per

[07:10] 1,000 views, which in other words means

[07:13] the average RPM rate. So, if you do the

[07:16] math, you can take this RPM rate and

[07:18] then you could take the amount of views

[07:20] that the video has gotten and then you

[07:22] can figure out the average expected ad

[07:24] revenue that you would get from a video

[07:26] like this. But of course, this only

[07:29] matters if YouTube actually monetizes

[07:32] cozy anime videos like this, right? So,

[07:35] I checked and yep, I discovered multiple

[07:37] cozy anime channels had either turned

[07:39] the memberships button on or the thanks

[07:42] button on showing that they are in the

[07:44] partner program. So, this time to save

[07:46] credits, I actually came to Nano Banana

[07:48] 2 instead of Nano Banana Pro. Like,

[07:50] don't get me wrong, I love the Pro

[07:52] model, but for images that don't need to

[07:54] be hyper realistic, Google's cheaper

[07:57] image generator, Nano Banana 2, is

[07:59] usually just as good. So, I asked it to

[08:02] create my image in a cozy cinematic

[08:04] anime style. And check it out. This is

[08:06] what it made for me. Very cool. So, I

[08:09] downloaded it. Then, I came back and

[08:10] selected Cling 3.0 from the menu. And

[08:13] again, I did the frame to video option,

[08:15] noting this time in the prompt box that

[08:17] I wanted it to animate it in a classic

[08:19] cinematic anime style. So, check out the

[08:22] video that it made.

[08:28] Super cute, right? So, on to the next

[08:30] niche. But first, if you are enjoying

[08:33] this video, please do consider giving it

[08:35] a like. I make a lot of tutorials on

[08:37] this channel about how to use AI tools,

[08:39] and there are a lot of people that don't

[08:41] like AI that leave a lot of hateful

[08:44] comments, which honestly can be very

[08:46] demotivating, but it is on the flip side

[08:49] very motivating when people do click

[08:52] like and comment nice things. So, if you

[08:54] do choose to click like, thank you. It

[08:57] genuinely means a lot to me. All righty,

[08:59] onto the next niche, which is this AI

[09:02] music channels. Yes. So if you don't

[09:04] know what these are, they are basically

[09:06] channels that upload videos that are

[09:07] usually 1 plus hour long that contain a

[09:10] compilation of music tracks that are AI

[09:12] generated. These videos and channels are

[09:14] usually themed around a particular

[09:15] genre, topic or vibe. And as you can

[09:18] see, these videos can get millions of

[09:20] views. Like take this video here. It was

[09:22] posted just 7 months ago and it's

[09:24] already had over 3.6 million views.

[09:27] Which again, if you do the math and you

[09:29] take the average RPM, you can figure out

[09:31] that this is a very nice estimated

[09:34] amount of ad revenue. But of course,

[09:37] this only matters if the channel itself

[09:39] can be monetized, right? And so, check

[09:41] it out. This channel has a paid

[09:43] membership turned on, meaning it's part

[09:45] of the partner program. And making your

[09:47] own AI music to turn into a compilation

[09:49] is pretty easy. Almost all creators

[09:52] these days are using this AI tool, So,

[09:55] you literally just open up So, type in

[09:57] what you want your song to be about and

[09:59] what viable theme it should have, and

[10:01] that's it. It'll generate a new song for

[10:03] you. So, here is a snippet of one of the

[10:05] songs it made for me. Check it out.

[10:15] [music]

[10:19] Pretty

[10:22] [music]

[10:25] cool, right? But now the question is,

[10:27] what about the visuals? So, probably the

[10:29] most popular type of visuals is to do

[10:31] what this video here does and create

[10:33] some sort of looping animation that you

[10:35] can play on top of your music. And if

[10:37] you know the start to end trick,

[10:38] creating a looping animation is pretty

[10:40] simple to do. So, what I did was I

[10:42] opened Nano Banana. If you're creating a

[10:44] cartoon scene, you can use either

[10:46] version. Although if you're making a

[10:48] photo realalistic scene, again, I'd use

[10:50] Nano Banana Pro. But either way, I got

[10:53] it to generate a starting picture for

[10:54] me, and I got it to make multiple

[10:56] options to pick from. And out of these,

[10:58] this one was my favorite. So, I

[11:00] downloaded this picture. Then next, I

[11:02] came and opened up the Cling 3.0 video

[11:04] generator and I uploaded this image and

[11:07] placed it in the starting frame. And

[11:09] then I did something else. I also placed

[11:11] it as the final frame. And then I

[11:14] prompted Cling telling it what I wanted

[11:15] the animation to do. And I changed the

[11:18] length from 5 seconds to 15 seconds. And

[11:20] then I generated the animation. And so

[11:23] check it out. Because I made the

[11:25] starting frame the exact same image as

[11:27] the final frame for this clip, it means

[11:29] I have created a perfect loop. I can

[11:32] copy and paste this clip as many times

[11:35] as I want, and it will seamlessly loop

[11:37] over and over again across all of my

[11:40] music. But here's the thing, right? You

[11:43] don't just have to create one loop.

[11:45] Nope. You can come here and run the same

[11:47] prompt multiple times to generate

[11:49] multiple clips. Then what you can do is

[11:52] you can take the clips that you have

[11:53] created and combine them together. Since

[11:55] all the clips you've generated have the

[11:57] exact same image as the first frame and

[12:00] the last frame. This means that you can

[12:01] copy and paste your clips throughout

[12:03] your video in any order that you like to

[12:05] vary up what exactly is happening in the

[12:07] scene and it will play together

[12:09] seamlessly. So, for example, you could

[12:11] go ahead and generate 10 different

[12:13] scenes and then mix and match them

[12:15] throughout your video to keep the

[12:16] visuals interesting. It's really just up

[12:19] to you and your imagination. Okay, then

[12:21] let's now move on to the next niche, AI

[12:24] motivational stories. Yes, this niche

[12:26] has had a huge resurgence lately,

[12:28] becoming very trendy again. Basically,

[12:30] if you don't know what these are, they

[12:31] are videos where some sort of

[12:32] inspirational or self-help story is

[12:34] told, oftent times related to a parable.

[12:37] And what's interesting is that most of

[12:39] the time these videos don't even include

[12:41] animations. Instead, they just use

[12:43] pictures for their visuals. For example,

[12:46] this video here is just AI images with

[12:48] an AI voice over. And it's kind of

[12:50] crazy, but it's had over 3.9 million

[12:54] views. And again, if we use that RPM

[12:56] calculation from before, we can estimate

[12:58] that 3.6 million views would be a nice

[13:01] amount of ad revenue. But as we've

[13:04] established, this only works if

[13:06] motivational story channels are actually

[13:07] getting monetized. So, I went and

[13:09] checked and yes, I found multiple

[13:11] channels in this niche that either had

[13:13] memberships turned on or had the thanks

[13:15] button turned on, proving that they are

[13:17] in the partner program. So, yeah, if you

[13:19] want to try these out for yourself, you

[13:21] can use either Nano Banana Pro or Nano

[13:23] Banana 2 to make the images for these.

[13:25] If you want a photo realalistic style

[13:27] for your images, I'd recommend the pro

[13:29] version. But for cartoon images, then a

[13:31] Banana 2 usually works just as good. And

[13:33] here is a quick tip. If you have access

[13:35] to Higsfield like me, this is currently

[13:38] by far the fastest way to make

[13:39] image-based story videos because they

[13:41] have a feature called Popcorn, which

[13:43] lets you upload an image as the starting

[13:45] image and then explain how you want the

[13:48] rest of your scene in your story to play

[13:50] out and then it will generate up to

[13:52] seven images for you. And it will also

[13:54] keep the character visuals pretty

[13:55] consistent throughout the scenes as

[13:57] well. So yeah, it is way quicker using

[13:59] this rather than having to come up with

[14:01] a new prompt and generate each image

[14:04] individually as part of your story

[14:06] narrative. But yes, let's now move on to

[14:08] the next niche which is this religion

[14:11] and spirituality visualization. Yes. So

[14:14] this is actually quite similar to the

[14:15] history recreation niche if you think

[14:17] about it because with that creators

[14:19] recreate history using AI images and

[14:21] videos so that people can actually see

[14:23] with their own eyes what historical

[14:25] places and events would look like which

[14:27] is what this niche does. It takes places

[14:29] or events in religious texts and

[14:32] recreates them based off of their

[14:33] descriptions to make them easier to

[14:35] visualize. For example, you take this

[14:37] channel here. They produced multiple

[14:39] shorter videos visualizing the book of

[14:42] Revelation as an ongoing series. And

[14:44] then once the series was over, they then

[14:47] released them as one large video over an

[14:49] hour long that got over 2.3 million

[14:52] views as a way to repurpose them. And as

[14:54] you can see, this channel has the join

[14:56] button turned on. So yeah, it is in the

[14:58] partner program and it is being

[15:00] monetized. And so just like with the

[15:02] history recreation niche, I would

[15:04] absolutely only use Nano Banana Pro here

[15:07] too. The goal with this niche is to try

[15:09] and create photorealistic

[15:10] visualizations. And the pro version of

[15:12] Nano Banana is much better at doing

[15:15] that. Like check it out. I created this

[15:17] picture here visualizing a scene from

[15:20] one of the plagues of Egypt talked about

[15:22] in the book of Exodus. Then I came back

[15:24] to Cling 3.0 and I uploaded this image

[15:26] as the starting frame and I got it to

[15:28] turn it into a video for me. And check

[15:30] it out, it made it for me. And I'll be

[15:32] honest, this was a pretty difficult

[15:33] prompt and video for it to make. So, I'm

[15:35] actually quite impressed with what Cling

[15:37] created. All right, let's now move on to

[15:39] the next AI video niche, slow English

[15:42] stories. Yes, I think this is a super

[15:44] underrated niche. Basically, people are

[15:46] creating these channels that help people

[15:48] practice and learn English by watching a

[15:50] story of a simple day-to-day life event.

[15:52] In the story, the characters talk to

[15:54] each other slowly and clearly. This

[15:57] helps people learn English by seeing

[15:59] words be used in a real life context.

[16:01] So, for example, check out this video

[16:03] here. It was uploaded 1 month ago and

[16:05] it's already had over 340,000 views. It

[16:09] tells a story of a couple going to get

[16:11] burgers at a fast food restaurant and it

[16:14] tells it stories just with text and

[16:16] images. And check out this video here

[16:18] that's had over 4.4 million views in the

[16:21] past 5 months. It tells the story of a

[16:24] family going to the airport. This one

[16:26] instead just tells their story through

[16:28] animations. And if you watch the video

[16:30] yourself, you'll see that while the

[16:32] characters do talk, their voices aren't

[16:34] even lip-synced, and the viewers don't

[16:36] even seem to care. And as you may have

[16:38] already calculated, 4.4 million views

[16:41] can earn a lot of estimated ad revenue.

[16:45] But it can only earn that if the channel

[16:47] is actually in the YouTube partner

[16:49] program, which we can prove it is

[16:51] because look, the channel has the thanks

[16:53] button turned on. Nice. And creating

[16:56] these videos is pretty simple.

[16:58] Currently, Pixar Disney style animation

[17:00] is the most trendy and popular for this

[17:02] niche. Although, since Pixar and Disney

[17:04] are trademarked phrases, I'd instead

[17:06] just prompt Net Banana, either version

[17:08] two or Pro, whichever you want to use,

[17:11] to generate an image in a cinematic kids

[17:13] 3D style image, and it'll generate it in

[17:16] pretty much the exact same style. And

[17:18] then, if you want to animate it, Cling
