[00:00] In this video, I'm going to walk you

[00:01] through exactly how to start a faceless

[00:03] YouTube channel this year that can

[00:05] potentially start making money. This

[00:07] will be a complete beginner tutorial.

[00:09] We'll walk through the entire process

[00:11] from setting up your channel, coming up

[00:13] with a name and a niche for your

[00:16] channel, and creating the videos using

[00:19] free tools. I want to show you how to

[00:20] get started with this with as little

[00:22] upfront cost as possible while still

[00:25] maintaining high quality. And of course,

[00:27] we'll also talk about how to create

[00:29] titles and thumbnails that actually get

[00:31] clicks. And on top of all of this, I'm

[00:33] even going to be creating my own

[00:34] faceless channel in this video. And I'm

[00:37] going to walk you through everything

[00:38] just so that you can see exactly how to

[00:40] get started with this for yourself. And

[00:42] toward the end of the video, we'll talk

[00:44] about all of the different strategies to

[00:47] start monetizing and potentially start

[00:49] making money on YouTube. My promise to

[00:52] you is that by the end of this video,

[00:54] you'll be able to have all of the

[00:56] knowledge, tools, and confidence that

[00:58] you need to finally go out there and

[01:00] start your own faceless channel this

[01:03] year. So, about a year ago, I started a

[01:05] Faceless channel as kind of an

[01:07] experiment just to prove that it was

[01:09] possible. And that channel actually did

[01:12] pretty well given how short of a time I

[01:15] made videos on it. I had some videos do

[01:17] much better than others and I even made

[01:20] some money with it. And so I'll be

[01:22] referencing that channel occasionally

[01:23] throughout this video because there's a

[01:25] lot that I learned from running that

[01:27] experiment. Now this video will be

[01:29] broken down into a few steps. The first

[01:32] step to starting your faceless YouTube

[01:34] channel though is you need to decide on

[01:36] your niche. I think this might be the

[01:38] one step where most people get stuck

[01:41] because you're trying to kind of figure

[01:42] out the perfect niche to make videos in

[01:45] and yeah, it can get really overwhelming

[01:48] really quickly, especially once you

[01:50] start to realize how many different

[01:52] angles you can take your channel. But

[01:54] here's the framework that I want you to

[01:56] use that'll help you with this. Okay,

[01:57] basically I want you to ask yourself

[01:59] these three questions about whatever

[02:01] niche you might be trying to decide on.

[02:04] Question number one, can I make 100

[02:07] videos in this niche without ever

[02:10] showing my face? Number two, are there

[02:12] people already watching this type of

[02:14] content like on YouTube? Um, and number

[02:16] three, is there a clear path to money

[02:19] later? When I started my experiment

[02:21] channel, I could answer all three of

[02:24] those questions easily. Right on that

[02:26] channel, I made faceless product review

[02:28] videos. This is definitely a very

[02:30] popular niche on YouTube and so people

[02:32] definitely were already watching this

[02:34] type of content and I knew that I could

[02:37] make money through affiliate marketing

[02:39] with every video that I posted, which

[02:41] like I said, I did end up making a

[02:43] little bit of money. And then of course

[02:45] eventually uh once that channel got

[02:47] monetized, I'd be able to make money

[02:49] through YouTube AdSense as well. But

[02:51] yeah, as long as you can successfully

[02:53] answer yes to all of these questions,

[02:56] you'll be good to go. Now, I do

[02:57] understand that part of the problem uh

[03:00] with choosing a niche is kind of knowing

[03:02] what options are even available. And so,

[03:05] I really quickly just want to rapidfire

[03:07] through several different popular niches

[03:09] that you might consider. All of these

[03:11] niches are already proven to work. They

[03:14] already have huge viewership and they

[03:17] definitely can make money. And I'll show

[03:19] you some examples of channels within

[03:21] each niche that are already making

[03:22] faceless content successfully. All

[03:24] right, so first up are niche

[03:26] storytelling faceless channels. This is

[03:29] definitely a very broad niche because

[03:32] storytelling can be in any number of

[03:34] genres, right? It could be like scary

[03:36] stories, kids stories, uh murder mystery

[03:39] stories, documentary kind of stories,

[03:41] like you're telling a true story about a

[03:44] major event in history or things like

[03:46] that. I mean, really, there are no

[03:47] limits to this genre here, but let me go

[03:50] ahead and show you some examples of this

[03:52] niche in action. All right, so first up

[03:54] are like scary story videos. Okay, from

[03:57] what I've seen, these videos will

[03:58] typically include about like three

[04:00] stories within one video. Each story

[04:03] being about, you know, 7 to 8 minutes

[04:05] long. And really all it is, and I've

[04:08] gone through several different channels

[04:09] within this niche, they all do the same

[04:11] thing. They're all just showing images

[04:13] that they probably generated with AI. Uh

[04:16] they're just showing images that kind of

[04:18] like match with whatever words are being

[04:20] spoken in the video. So, like if we just

[04:22] scroll through this video here, you'll

[04:24] see that all they're doing is just

[04:25] showing images. Sometimes the images

[04:28] have like grain effects on them,

[04:30] sometimes they don't. Like with that

[04:31] image right there, there's nothing

[04:32] happening. It's just the image. And so

[04:34] everything from the script itself to the

[04:36] actual visuals can be created within AI,

[04:39] which is crazy. Another example are kids

[04:41] storytelling videos. So this one's

[04:43] called The Big Silly Crocodile. Um, it's

[04:45] got 18 million views, which is wild. So

[04:49] you can see right here, it's a pretty

[04:50] simple animation like kind of like a a

[04:52] paper cutout animation. Something like

[04:54] this can easily be created within a tool

[04:56] like Higsfield or even within like

[04:58] Google VO or something like that. Um or

[05:01] you could just even go the route of

[05:03] having just still images. Let me show

[05:04] you another example here of a channel

[05:06] that you know this video right here has

[05:07] 1.5 million views and all it's doing is

[05:11] it's just reading from a book. So, it's

[05:13] got a book right here, and all it's

[05:15] doing is just kind of slowly panning

[05:19] across the pages, right? And the

[05:21] narrator is reading the book, literally

[05:23] just reading the book as is, right? And

[05:25] it's just showing the pages of the book.

[05:27] I mean, you can't really get much more

[05:29] simple than that. And the cool part

[05:31] about this, which we'll talk about this

[05:32] more later, is I I can guarantee you

[05:35] that the link to this book is in the

[05:37] description. Yeah. Right there. And so

[05:38] if you were to click on this link right

[05:40] here, it would bring you to her Amazon

[05:42] store where you could buy this book. So

[05:44] that's another route you could go with

[05:45] kids storytelling if you just wanted to

[05:47] keep it even more simple than having to

[05:49] do like actual animations and stuff. But

[05:51] even with these animations, you could

[05:52] create something like this uh using AI.

[05:54] Another example of storytelling are

[05:57] these documentary style videos. So this

[05:59] one has 1.3 million views from 8 months

[06:01] ago. How did people sleep in medieval

[06:03] castles without freezing to death? I

[06:05] want to show you something interesting.

[06:06] So, at the top here, it says altered or

[06:08] synthetic content. That literally means

[06:10] that they created this video with AI.

[06:13] When you upload the video, there's a box

[06:14] that you have to check that says that

[06:16] you use AI to create the video, and

[06:18] you're required to do that. Okay? And

[06:19] so, we know for a fact that this channel

[06:21] is using AI to create these images. For

[06:24] the video that I'm going to make on my

[06:25] channel, I'll probably end up doing

[06:26] something similar to this or even

[06:29] something like this. This is another

[06:31] example of something that was definitely

[06:33] created with AI. And you can create this

[06:35] kind of stuff, like I said, within

[06:36] Hakesfield or Google VO or even a tool

[06:39] like Midjourney can create moving images

[06:41] that look really, really good. So yeah,

[06:44] this is another example though right

[06:45] here. This one has 133K views from 2

[06:47] months ago. So that's the storytelling

[06:49] niche. As you can see, it's pretty

[06:51] straightforward. Most of these videos

[06:53] you'll be able to use AI to create the

[06:55] visuals, and we'll talk more about that

[06:57] a little bit later, but let's go ahead

[06:58] and move on to the next niche, which is

[07:00] compilation style videos. And so

[07:03] compilation style videos are things like

[07:05] top 10s, uh, explainers, things like

[07:08] that. The experiment channel that I

[07:09] started was a top five product listical

[07:13] video, which is a compilation style

[07:15] video. So if I just type in best things

[07:17] ever into YouTube right here, it should

[07:19] bring up my channel. Yeah, there it is.

[07:21] So there's my channel right there. This

[07:22] is an example of a compilation style

[07:25] video. So you can see right here that

[07:27] from a year ago, my highest viewed video

[07:29] was 11K. Let's go and click on that one.

[07:32] And literally the entire video is just

[07:35] showing images, right? I used AI to

[07:39] write the script. I used AI for the

[07:41] voiceover. The only work I had to do was

[07:43] just going out and finding the images

[07:45] that match the products that I that I

[07:47] was talking about. Here's another

[07:48] example. Top 10 dangerous objects found

[07:50] during um archaeological excavations.

[07:53] And so it's just showing all these

[07:54] different videos and things. They

[07:56] probably got these videos from like

[07:58] YouTube videos or some type of like

[08:00] Creative Commons website where they can

[08:02] use these types of images for free. So,

[08:04] if we just scroll through here, you'll

[08:05] see it's just literally a compilation of

[08:08] different videos. They probably use AI

[08:10] to write the script and then all they

[08:12] had to do was just go through and find

[08:14] different related images or things that

[08:16] pertained to whatever objects that

[08:19] they're talking about, which they

[08:20] probably just found those images on

[08:22] Google images or like I said, this looks

[08:24] like stock footage right here. And then

[08:26] of course like probably other YouTube

[08:27] videos. Now another popular niche are

[08:29] what I call screen recordings. And so

[08:32] that's basically where you make tutorial

[08:34] style videos where you never show your

[08:36] face but you make tutorial videos about

[08:38] software, AI tools, video games, things

[08:41] like that. So let me show you some

[08:42] examples here of what that might look

[08:44] like. This one is a video of somebody

[08:46] restoring some type of vehicle, maybe.

[08:50] Yeah, a vehicle. So you can see they

[08:51] never actually show their face. The

[08:53] whole video is just them restoring the

[08:55] vehicle. Another example is something

[08:57] like this. It's this whole entire

[08:58] channel is about locks. The lockpicking

[09:01] lawyer. Okay, this has 2.8 million views

[09:03] from uh 3 years ago. And it's just 3

[09:05] minutes of him talking about a lock,

[09:07] testing it out. He never shows his face.

[09:10] He's just got a camera on a tripod and

[09:12] he's testing out the lock. That's it.

[09:14] Another example is something like this

[09:16] where the entire video is you never see

[09:18] the person's face at all. Not even in

[09:20] the intro of the video. and it's just

[09:22] them talking about how to use Photoshop

[09:25] for beginners. And this this same exact

[09:27] format can be used for literally any

[09:30] type of software, any type of website

[09:32] tool, anything like that. And so, yeah,

[09:34] these are all examples of what I call

[09:36] the screen recording uh niche. But yeah,

[09:39] you kind of get the point. Um, there are

[09:40] so many different like angles and

[09:42] different options for starting a

[09:44] faceless channel. You just have to go

[09:45] with whatever you think might be most

[09:47] interesting to you. Okay? Ask yourself,

[09:50] can I make 100 videos in this niche

[09:53] without getting bored? Okay? If you can

[09:56] answer yes to that question and it also

[09:58] passes all of the questions from

[10:00] earlier, then start there with that

[10:03] niche. For the channel that I'm creating

[10:05] in this video, I'll be going with an

[10:06] ancient business mogul documentary

[10:09] channel. This should be quite fun to do

[10:10] actually, and I'm excited to make the

[10:12] first video with you. Now, I've put

[10:14] together a comprehensive list of

[10:16] hundreds of different uh niche ideas for

[10:18] faceless channels. You can download this

[10:20] list completely free using the link

[10:22] below to help give you kind of a jump

[10:24] start for your brainstorming process.

[10:26] Anyways, the next step that we'll talk

[10:28] about is coming up with a name for your

[10:30] channel and then creating the channel.

[10:32] This is probably the easiest part of the

[10:34] entire process because we're literally

[10:35] just going to use chatbt to help us

[10:37] create a name and then create your

[10:40] YouTube channel, which takes like 2

[10:41] minutes. So within chatbt just type

[10:43] something in like I'm creating a

[10:46] faceless YouTube channel around whatever

[10:48] you know topic whatever your niche is

[10:50] about. My niche is ancient business

[10:52] mogul documentaries. Uh can you give me

[10:55] a list of channel names that will work

[10:57] for this? And chat GBT will start

[10:59] generating a big list of names. So you

[11:02] can see it's given us a ton of names

[11:03] here and it's kind of like categorized

[11:05] the names by different like genres or

[11:07] whatever. So you got ancient power and

[11:09] wealth. These feel premium and Netflix

[11:12] style. So you got like, you know, Empire

[11:14] of Gold. That's pretty cool. Lords of

[11:17] Trade, The Wealth of Empires. These are

[11:19] all pretty cool names. I'm just going to

[11:21] scroll down here. We got business,

[11:22] trade, and strategy focused. Ancient

[11:24] Commerce. Ooh, I really like this one

[11:27] right here, the original billionaires.

[11:29] That one is for sure my favorite of all

[11:31] of these. So, I'm going to go ahead and

[11:32] copy that name because we'll use this

[11:34] later when we actually create the

[11:36] YouTube channel. So, with that name, I'm

[11:37] going to go ahead and open up a uh new

[11:39] tab in my browser. Go to youtube.com.

[11:41] And for this, I am going to create a

[11:43] brand new Google account specifically

[11:45] for this new channel. I personally like

[11:48] doing this because it keeps everything

[11:50] separate, right? The YouTube channel,

[11:53] the emails, future brand deals, any

[11:55] affiliate accounts, all of that stuff

[11:57] can live under one clean account instead

[12:00] of being mixed in with my personal Gmail

[12:03] and stuff like that, right? And I would

[12:05] recommend that you just do the same.

[12:06] Once my new Gmail account is created

[12:08] though, I'll head back to YouTube, click

[12:10] on create new channel, and then use the

[12:12] name that we just picked, which is the

[12:14] original billionaires. And once the

[12:16] account is created, we now need to

[12:18] create a profile picture and a banner.

[12:21] We can't just leave these blank. We have

[12:23] to give some branding to the channel.

[12:25] But the good news though is that we can

[12:27] also use chatbt to create these images.

[12:30] So, first I'm going to click into the

[12:32] channel customization section. And this

[12:34] is where we can change things like the

[12:36] profile picture, the banner image, our

[12:39] handle, all that stuff. Now, I don't

[12:41] want you to overthink this part too

[12:43] much, okay? A lot of people will spend

[12:45] like 3 weeks trying to come up with a

[12:48] perfect banner image um before they ever

[12:50] even upload a single video. And

[12:52] honestly, this stuff matters way, way

[12:55] less than you probably think. The

[12:57] content is what matters the most. And

[12:59] you can always improve your branding

[13:01] later. So for now, I just want something

[13:03] that's clean and good enough to make the

[13:06] channel look legitimate. And so the

[13:07] first thing I'm going to do is create a

[13:09] new profile picture. So I'm going to

[13:10] head back over to Chat TBT and just type

[13:13] something like create a simple cinematic

[13:16] logo for a YouTube channel called the

[13:19] original billionaires about ancient

[13:21] business mogul and historical wealth.

[13:24] And we'll see what it comes up with.

[13:26] Okay, it looks like it's finishing up

[13:27] here and it's loading. Let's see. So

[13:29] far, this is Ooh, that looks really,

[13:32] really good. I mean, this it did a

[13:34] phenomenal job creating this profile

[13:37] picture. This looks so so good. Now,

[13:39] I'll be honest with you, okay? It's not

[13:41] always going to work and be this good on

[13:43] the first try. Sometimes you have to

[13:45] prompt it again to kind of like change a

[13:47] few things up, but sometimes it just

[13:49] nails it on the very first try, which it

[13:51] definitely did for me. So, I'm going to

[13:53] go ahead and download this right here

[13:54] because we will definitely be using this

[13:56] for the YouTube channel. So, I'll

[13:58] download it, head back to our channel,

[14:00] and upload it to the profile picture.

[14:02] Next, I'm going to create the banner

[14:04] image for the top of the channel page.

[14:06] And again, this does not need to be some

[14:08] crazy masterpiece, okay? Most people are

[14:11] barely, you know, even going to look at

[14:12] your channel banner. Anyways, like I

[14:14] said, the videos themselves are way more

[14:17] important, but I still want it to look

[14:19] somewhat professional. So, I'll come

[14:21] back into Chat GBT and say, "This looks

[14:25] amazing. Uh, can you give me a channel

[14:28] banner that complements this avatar that

[14:31] you just gave me because I love it? And

[14:33] we'll give this a second to get created.

[14:36] And, you know, uh, AI isn't always going

[14:39] to be perfect. You can see that it

[14:41] pretty much just generated a different

[14:43] version of our profile picture, which I

[14:45] definitely don't like that. So, I'll say

[14:49] I like this a lot, but I don't want it

[14:52] to just be a clone of the avatar. I want

[14:54] to keep the same style but have it be

[14:57] something unique. And we'll see what it

[14:59] comes up with after that. Okay, so this

[15:01] looks a million times better. I I love

[15:04] how this looks. It definitely still fits

[15:05] the branding uh with the profile

[15:07] picture, but it's still a unique image.

[15:09] So, I love this. And I'll definitely be

[15:11] using this for the banner image. All

[15:13] right, so the channel is now set up. And

[15:16] with that done, the next step is to

[15:18] actually make the faceless videos. Now,

[15:21] these faceless videos are broken down

[15:23] into a simple five-step process, and

[15:26] we're going to go over each step in

[15:27] detail. You've got idea, scripting,

[15:30] voice over, what I call asset

[15:33] collection, and final assembly. Now,

[15:36] this sounds like a lot, but honestly,

[15:38] four out of five of these steps can

[15:40] actually be streamlined with AI. Now, it

[15:43] is still going to be important that you

[15:45] guide the overall creative direction of

[15:47] your videos just to make sure that the

[15:49] content is unique and valuable. The last

[15:52] thing you want to do is just create some

[15:54] AI slop. Uh these videos are still going

[15:57] to be high quality. Okay? But AI will

[15:59] definitely be able to help us, you know,

[16:01] create the videos more efficiently. And

[16:03] so, let's start with the first step,

[16:05] which is idea, which we can do with AI.

[16:08] So, all we're going to do here is open

[16:09] up chatbt again. And I'm just going to

[16:11] ask it, can you give me a list of 10 to

[16:14] 15 video ideas for my faceless YouTube

[16:17] channel about ancient business mogul

[16:20] documentaries? And you can do this for

[16:22] really any faceless niche that you want

[16:24] on YouTube. Like when I started my

[16:26] experiment channel that I showed you

[16:27] earlier, I simply asked ChattBT what

[16:30] were the most like trending products for

[16:33] that current year and then I made review

[16:35] videos around those products. But

[16:38] anyways, with these ideas, I'm just

[16:40] going to select one to make a video

[16:42] about and then we'll start working on

[16:44] the script. So, a lot of really, really

[16:46] good ideas here. I think the one that

[16:48] stands out most to me is King Solomon,

[16:50] the richest man in the ancient world. It

[16:53] said that King Solomon was the richest

[16:55] man to ever exist. He had like a net

[16:57] worth of $2 trillion. And so, I think

[16:59] that could be a really interesting

[17:01] story. And so, I'm going to go ahead and

[17:02] copy that because that's the idea that

[17:04] we're going to use to begin working on

[17:06] our script. Now, when it comes to the

[17:08] script for the video, absolutely

[17:10] ChattPpt can help develop this for you.

[17:12] But what you don't want to do is just

[17:14] simply say something like, "Okay, now

[17:16] create a script for this video." Because

[17:19] what's going to happen is it's going to

[17:20] give you a script that's like 2 minutes

[17:22] long. Okay? And obviously, we want the

[17:24] videos to be longer than that. And so

[17:25] what I have discovered is that the best

[17:27] way to get Chat toBT to write a script

[17:30] for you is to have it first start off

[17:32] with giving you a breakdown like an

[17:34] actual outline for the video and then

[17:37] you work on each part of the outline

[17:39] separate. And so I'm going to say let's

[17:41] create a video about and then paste in

[17:43] the video title there. I need help

[17:45] creating the script. I want it to be

[17:47] about 15 minutes long. Let's first start

[17:49] off by giving me the breakdown of the

[17:52] video. then will work on each section

[17:55] separately. Okay. So, I'll say that to

[17:57] it, hit enter, and it's going to begin

[17:59] now working on the outline for the video

[18:01] for me. So, with that outline now

[18:04] finished, I'm just going to say to it,

[18:05] let's start with the open hook. And when

[18:08] I say that, it's going to begin

[18:09] developing the open hook for us, which

[18:11] you know, you can see it does a really,

[18:13] really good job. And then once the open

[18:15] hook is done, we would then after that

[18:17] say, okay, let's move on to the next

[18:20] section, right? and then hit enter. And

[18:23] it's going to begin working on section

[18:24] number two for us. And then once it

[18:27] finishes section number two, you would

[18:28] say, "Let's work on the next section."

[18:30] And it's going to begin working on

[18:31] section number three. And so forth,

[18:34] right? You would just keep doing this.

[18:35] And you know, you could feel free to

[18:36] edit any of the script if you want to or

[18:38] have it make some updates for you,

[18:40] whatever you think is necessary. But

[18:42] usually the AI does a really good job of

[18:44] developing the script for you. All

[18:46] right. So that is basically scripting in

[18:48] a nutshell. Next is the voice over. My

[18:51] number one recommendation here is just

[18:53] to use your own voice. Okay, I know that

[18:56] it can feel a little bit intimidating at

[18:58] first, but for a faceless channel, your

[19:01] voice is what's going to make the

[19:03] content unique and authentic. Plus, if

[19:05] you're on a tight budget, then you don't

[19:07] even really need a professional studio.

[19:09] Like, you can buy a super affordable mic

[19:12] on Amazon. Or if you're really just

[19:14] starting out and you don't want to spend

[19:16] any money, you can honestly just use the

[19:18] voice memo phone on your app. All you

[19:21] have to do is just record in a quiet

[19:22] space like a closet full of clothes to

[19:25] dampen the echo. And you'd be surprised

[19:28] that it actually sounds surprisingly

[19:30] professional. But using your own voice

[19:32] is 100% free. It keeps your channel safe

[19:35] from the loweffort content flags and it

[19:38] helps to build a real connection with

[19:40] your audience. Now, if you really really

[19:43] don't want to have to use your own

[19:44] voice, you can use a tool like 11 Labs.

[19:48] They have some of the best natural

[19:49] sounding voices that I've heard. Now,

[19:51] this video is not sponsored by them. I

[19:53] don't have any affiliate links or

[19:54] anything like that. Um, it's just one of

[19:56] the better tools that I've used for AI

[19:59] voiceovers. And so, if I was actually

[20:01] starting a faceless channel and taking

[20:03] it seriously, I would without a doubt be

[20:06] using my own voice. But for the sake of

[20:08] this video and for my example Faceless

[20:11] Channel, I'm just going to use an AI

[20:13] voice over from 11 Labs as the voice of

[20:16] my video. And using it is very simple.

[20:19] All you have to do is just take your

[20:20] script, paste it into the tool, and

[20:22] it'll develop the voiceover recording

[20:24] for you based on that script. And you

[20:27] can like change different voices and

[20:28] things like that. It's a super simple

[20:30] tool. But once your voice over is

[20:31] recorded, the next step of the video

[20:34] making process is asset collection.

[20:36] Basically, with this step, all you're

[20:38] doing is collecting the images and

[20:40] videos that you'll be using in your

[20:42] video. Now, depending on the niche that

[20:45] you selected will sort of change how you

[20:47] approach this step. So, for example, for

[20:51] my niche, which is ancient business

[20:53] mogul documentaries, it's a storytelling

[20:55] niche. I'm going to be relying heavily

[20:57] on AI creation tools. And so I'll be

[21:00] using tools like chat GBT or Midjourney

[21:02] to create images that I can then add,

[21:05] you know, subtle movement to to sort of

[21:07] bring to life or maybe I'll be able to

[21:09] find some stuff on Google images or like

[21:12] other YouTube videos. But for the most

[21:14] part, I'll just be using AI tools. And

[21:16] the good news is that Chat GBT is free.

[21:20] Um, Midjourney is the only tool that is

[21:22] going to cost some money, but the basic

[21:24] plan only costs $10 per month. And you

[21:27] don't even have to use MidJourney. you

[21:28] can just use chat tbt for free. But if

[21:31] you're creating something like listical

[21:33] videos, for example, similar to what I

[21:36] did with my other faceless channel that

[21:38] I started as an experiment, then you'll

[21:40] be relying heavily on places like Google

[21:42] images or product review videos on

[21:45] YouTube to get all of your visual

[21:47] assets. If you are creating, you know,

[21:49] travel listical videos, same thing.

[21:52] you'll be relying a lot on stock footage

[21:54] and using clips from other YouTube

[21:56] videos or Google images, things like

[21:59] that. So, depending on your niche will

[22:02] change your process for creating your

[22:04] videos. For my channel though, I'll be

[22:07] using mostly AI. So, essentially with

[22:09] this step, all you're going to be doing,

[22:11] I've already pasted my script here from

[22:13] ChattBT into a Google doc. So

[22:16] essentially what you're going to be

[22:17] doing is you're just referencing the

[22:19] script and then finding the appropriate

[22:21] images or videos based on the script.

[22:24] And so for example, the first line of my

[22:26] script is what if I told you that

[22:28] thousands of years ago there was a man

[22:30] so wealthy that silver was considered

[22:33] worthless in his kingdom. That's the

[22:35] first line there. Okay. And then I'm

[22:36] going to head over into MidJourney, for

[22:38] example. And I'm literally just going to

[22:40] paste that line of text into the prompt

[22:44] box right here. And then hit enter. And

[22:46] it's going to generate an image that is

[22:48] fitting based on that line of text. And

[22:50] so you can see it did a really really

[22:52] good job creating this this image of

[22:55] King Solomon. Now, I don't know what

[22:57] King Solomon actually looked like. I

[22:59] have no idea. But I think that this is a

[23:01] good representation of what he could

[23:03] have potentially looked like. And

[23:04] something really cool about Midjourney

[23:06] as well is that you can actually add

[23:08] small movement to your image. And so if

[23:10] I click right here on animate image, you

[23:12] can see that it creates these new moving

[23:15] images for me. I mean, this looks

[23:17] insanely good, right? And we could we

[23:20] could create the whole video like this

[23:21] where we've just got these different

[23:23] like moving images that really really

[23:25] help to bring the story to life. You

[23:27] don't have to, of course. You could just

[23:29] keep on using still images and those

[23:31] would still work just as good. But I

[23:33] just think it's a cool option to be able

[23:35] to animate the images a little bit and

[23:37] just add that much more personality to

[23:39] your videos. But then what I like to do

[23:41] is once I've finished finding the asset

[23:44] for that specific line of text, I'll

[23:46] just highlight the lines of text within

[23:48] the script black just so that I know I'm

[23:51] done with that part of the script and I

[23:53] can move on. So then once that part of

[23:54] the script's done, I would move on to

[23:56] the next part. So then the next line of

[23:57] text in my script is um at the height of

[24:00] his power, gold floated to his kingdom

[24:02] from across Asia or Africa, Asia and the

[24:05] ancient worlds, etc., etc. I'm going to

[24:07] try to go to Google images for this one

[24:09] and just type in King Solomon and then

[24:11] go to images. And you can see there's

[24:14] tons of different images here that we

[24:15] can choose from. Um I could use some of

[24:18] these or I could just keep on using AI

[24:21] tools to create like original images.

[24:24] And I think I'll do that. So, I'm

[24:25] actually going to head into Chat DBT

[24:27] now. And same thing, I'm just going to

[24:30] paste in this line of text right here

[24:32] into Chat DBT and ask it to create a

[24:35] image for my documentary about King

[24:38] Solomon. And then hit enter and we'll

[24:40] see what it creates for us. So, I think

[24:42] that this looks phenomenal. I think it

[24:44] looks really, really good. And I'm I'm

[24:46] actually probably just going to use Chat

[24:48] GBT for the rest of the video to develop

[24:50] my assets. And so all I'm going to do is

[24:52] just go line by line and just find

[24:54] assets for that line of text. Okay?

[24:58] Depending on how long your script is,

[24:59] this could take you a couple of hours or

[25:02] it could take you even less than that

[25:04] depending on what your script is about.

[25:05] All right. So once you've got all your

[25:07] assets collected, it's time for the

[25:09] final assembly. So basically with the

[25:11] final assembly, all you're doing is

[25:14] you're first you have to choose an

[25:15] editing software to actually compile all

[25:18] this stuff together. So, for me, I'm

[25:20] going to use Final Cut Pro. If you have

[25:21] a Mac computer, you can use iMovie for

[25:24] free. If you are on a Windows PC, you

[25:27] can use a tool like Da Vinci Resolve,

[25:29] which is free. Or you could use some

[25:30] type of online video editing software.

[25:32] Like, I know Canva, for example, has

[25:34] some free video editing software that

[25:36] you can use. Or you could just go into

[25:38] Google and type in free editing

[25:40] software, and you can see what pops up.

[25:42] So, for example, Cap Cut is a good

[25:44] option. But you can see if you just

[25:45] scroll through here, there's tons of

[25:47] other options as well. Even Adobe has

[25:49] Adobe Express which again is free video

[25:52] editing software. So it doesn't really

[25:54] matter what you use because the process

[25:56] is going to be the exact same. So

[25:58] basically with the final assembly what

[25:59] you're going to do is first drop in your

[26:02] voice over. Okay? So if you recorded

[26:04] your own voice over you would drop that

[26:06] in. In my case I used 11 Labs to do an

[26:09] AI voice over. So I'm just going to drop

[26:11] that into my timeline here. And then I'm

[26:13] just going to start dropping in all of

[26:15] my assets one by one into the timeline

[26:18] uh to match with whatever is being said

[26:21] on on the voice over. Does that make

[26:23] sense? So, for example, for this first

[26:25] part right here about King Solomon, I

[26:28] know that we decided to go with this

[26:29] image here. So, I'm just going to drop

[26:31] that in right there. And you would just

[26:32] do that same thing for each part of the

[26:34] video. Now, realistically, this should

[26:37] be the fastest part of the process

[26:38] because you've already got all your

[26:40] assets. All you have to do is just

[26:41] figure out where they go within the

[26:43] video based on what's being said in the

[26:45] voice over. And then if you want to, you

[26:47] can add things like slow zoomins. You

[26:50] can add like different effects and

[26:51] things like that, which most of these

[26:53] editing tools will have that kind of

[26:55] stuff built in. You can just add that

[26:57] stuff on top of the images to kind of

[26:59] bring it to life and add more more

[27:01] character. And so, for example, for my

[27:02] video, I'm going to add in these dust

[27:04] particles over these clips. um and maybe

[27:07] some other effects just to kind of make

[27:09] it more interesting to look at. But

[27:11] yeah, you can spend some time here just

[27:12] kind of being creative and doing

[27:14] whatever you want to make it

[27:15] interesting. But you saw for yourself in

[27:17] the example videos I showed you earlier.

[27:20] Most of the time there's not a whole lot

[27:22] going on with these videos, right? Some

[27:25] light effects, some light movement. You

[27:27] don't have to spend hours and hours,

[27:30] definitely not days making a video. just

[27:32] do enough to add some level of human

[27:34] effort and to make it more interesting

[27:36] than just a still image not doing

[27:38] anything. Right? Even a small bit of

[27:41] movement will add a lot in terms of

[27:44] making it more interesting. So, I'm

[27:45] going to spend like the next 30 minutes

[27:47] going through here and just adding all

[27:49] of my clips on top of my voice over. And

[27:52] after all that, the video is almost

[27:54] done. We still have to add one more

[27:56] important element, which is music. Okay,

[27:59] we have to add music to our video.

[28:01] Especially for my type of video, like

[28:03] storytelling videos, the music is going

[28:06] to be almost more important than the

[28:08] visuals itself because the music is

[28:10] going to drive the mood of the video.

[28:13] And there are a few different approaches

[28:14] that you can take here to find your

[28:17] music, right? I would either go with a

[28:19] free music website such as YouTube's

[28:22] official music library or you could use

[28:25] a premium music website like Epidemic

[28:28] Sound. Now, I promise you this is not a

[28:30] promotion for Epidemic. They are not

[28:32] sponsoring this video, but I do use them

[28:34] for my videos for both music and sound

[28:37] effects. And in my opinion, they have

[28:39] one of the best music libraries out

[28:41] there. So, I will leave a link to

[28:42] Epidemic Sound down below. If you use

[28:44] that link, it'll give you a free 30-day

[28:47] trial. Again, I'm not trying to sell you

[28:49] on them. You don't have to use them, but

[28:51] if you want something more premium with

[28:53] a lot more song options, then definitely

[28:56] grab that free 30-day trial. using the

[28:58] link down below. Otherwise, just stick

[29:01] to free music resources like YouTube's

[29:04] official music library. But anyways, I'm

[29:06] just going to go ahead and spend the

[29:08] next like maybe 30 minutes scanning

[29:10] through songs on Epidemic Sound to find

[29:12] some stuff that will work for my video.

[29:14] I'm not really going to show that

[29:15] process because it's pretty

[29:16] self-explanatory. But after that, I'll

[29:19] export my video and then I'll share the

[29:21] final video with you guys. And, you

[29:23] know, let me know in the comments what

[29:24] you think about it. Tonight, imagine

[29:26] yourself standing at the edge of the

[29:28] ancient world. The air is warm, dry, and

[29:31] faintly perfumed with incense, drifting

[29:33] in from somewhere unseen. Dust settles

[29:36] slowly after each footstep, hanging in

[29:39] the light like smoke. In the distance,

[29:41] stone meets stone as a massive gate

[29:43] begins to open, its weight announced by

[29:46] a deep, grinding echo that carries

[29:48] across the valley. You are approaching

[29:50] Jerusalem at the height of its power.

[29:53] The city doesn't shout its importance.

[29:55] It doesn't need to. It glows quietly in

[29:58] the fading light, confident and

[30:00] unhurried. Torches flicker along the

[30:02] walls, reflecting off polished stone and

[30:05] metal. The rhythm of life inside feels

[30:08] steady, practiced, like a system that

[30:10] knows exactly what it is doing. This is

[30:13] the Kingdom of Solomon. Before we go any

[30:15] further, take a moment to settle in. Let

[30:18] your breathing slow. Let the outside

[30:21] world recede. These stories weren't

[30:23] meant to be rushed. They unfold the way

[30:26] the ancient world itself did. Patiently,

[30:28] deliberately. Now, picture the streets

[30:31] beneath your feet. They're worn smooth

[30:33] by centuries of movement. Okay, so the

[30:35] last step now is we need to upload the

[30:37] video to our channel and create a title

[30:40] and thumbnail. So, this part of the

[30:42] process I think scares a lot of people

[30:45] and for good reason. Everybody is always

[30:48] talking about how important the title

[30:50] and the thumbnail is. And don't get me

[30:52] wrong, it definitely is, right? Those

[30:54] things are important, but I don't think

[30:57] we need to overthink it. Basically, all

[30:59] you're going to do is look at channels

[31:01] within your niche that are doing well,

[31:04] that are getting good views and stuff,

[31:06] and just sort of model your thumbnails

[31:08] off theirs, right? I'm not saying you

[31:10] should copy them exactly, but just model

[31:13] them, draw inspiration from them. And

[31:15] you would do the same thing for the

[31:17] titles as well. So let me show you what

[31:19] this actually looks like in practice. So

[31:21] for example, I'm on YouTube here and I'm

[31:23] just going to type in like history

[31:25] documentary or something, right? And

[31:27] because this is kind of what my niche

[31:29] is. I'm talking about historical things

[31:31] and it's a documentary video. So if I

[31:33] just scroll through here, you can see

[31:35] that the first video it, you know, it's

[31:37] just an image with some text on it. If I

[31:39] keep scrolling through here, you'll see

[31:40] it's kind of the same thing. Like an

[31:42] image that's related to the documentary

[31:44] with like a piece of text on it. It's

[31:46] very, very simple. Most of these

[31:48] thumbnails are super simple. Right?

[31:50] Here's one from a year ago from the

[31:52] History Channel. 2.4 million views.

[31:54] Europe in the wake of the fall of Rome.

[31:56] It just shows an image of the coliseum

[31:59] kind of being burnt to the ground with

[32:01] some text that says survival in the dark

[32:03] ages. And all of these thumbnails within

[32:07] this niche are kind of doing the same

[32:09] exact thing. Okay? And so I would model

[32:11] my thumbnail the same exact way. So

[32:14] creating the thumbnail is actually very

[32:16] very simple. Okay? All you're going to

[32:18] do is go into a free tool like Canva. Uh

[32:20] and I'm going to click right here on

[32:21] create. Just type in YouTube thumbnail

[32:24] and it pops up right there. So we'll

[32:26] just click right there on YouTube

[32:27] thumbnail. And then you're just going to

[32:29] go to your your video and you're just

[32:31] going to grab an image from the video

[32:34] that is compelling looking, that looks

[32:36] interesting, right? So for my video, I

[32:39] think that this image right here of King

[32:40] Solomon looks very interesting. So I'll

[32:43] drag and drop the image into Canva right

[32:46] here. Make sure that it fits the entire

[32:47] screen. And then I'll just add some text

[32:50] on top of it that says something like

[32:52] richest man ever. And I'll just make

[32:55] sure that it's white so that it uh

[32:57] contrasts with the actual image itself

[32:59] so that people can read it. And just

[33:01] like that, we've basically got our

[33:03] thumbnail. Like you really don't have to

[33:04] overthink this process at all. Okay? And

[33:06] the same thing is true with the title.

[33:08] We're simply looking at how you know

[33:10] popular channels within our niche are

[33:12] structuring their titles and we're just

[33:15] doing the same thing for our channel.

[33:17] We're just going to title our stuff the

[33:18] same exact way. Okay. Now remember, I

[33:20] want to reiterate this. We're not just

[33:22] copying verbatim what other channels are

[33:24] doing. You don't want to do that, okay?

[33:26] You want to make sure that you are being

[33:27] original, but we can model our

[33:30] thumbnails and titles. We can draw

[33:32] inspiration from other channels because

[33:35] there's no reason to reinvent the wheel,

[33:37] right? If something's already working

[33:39] for a different channel, we can take

[33:41] what's working and apply it to what

[33:43] we're doing so that we can potentially

[33:45] get similar results. All right. So, once

[33:47] I've got my thumbnail uh ready, I'm

[33:49] going to go ahead and upload my video to

[33:52] my YouTube channel. And then I'll add my

[33:54] title and then add my thumbnail that we

[33:56] just created within Canva for free. And

[33:59] because we are using generative AI for

[34:02] our visuals, we have to make sure that

[34:04] we select this box right here that says

[34:07] altered content. Okay, this is required

[34:10] if you used AI within your video. It's a

[34:13] simple step that keeps your channel

[34:14] transparent and in good standing uh with

[34:17] YouTube's community guidelines. But once

[34:19] all that is done, we can go ahead and

[34:21] post it. And I'm going to leave a link

[34:23] to this channel down below in the

[34:24] description so that you can watch the

[34:26] full video for yourself that you just

[34:28] watched me create from start to finish.

[34:30] Now, before this video ends, I do want

[34:32] to briefly talk about the money side of

[34:35] faceless YouTube channels because

[34:37] obviously that's the main reason a lot

[34:39] of people are interested in doing this

[34:41] in the first place. Now, the first thing

[34:43] that I want to say is that this is not a

[34:46] get-richqu scheme, okay? Like, starting

[34:48] a YouTube channel and getting to a point

[34:50] where you're able to make income from it

[34:53] is going to require a considerable

[34:55] amount of work. Make no mistake about

[34:57] it. But if you are willing to put in the

[35:00] work, there are several ways that you

[35:02] can make money from this. Okay? And the

[35:04] first and most obvious way to make money

[35:06] through YouTube is through YouTube

[35:08] AdSense. Once your channel reaches

[35:10] YouTube's monetization requirements,

[35:12] YouTube will start placing ads on your

[35:15] videos and paying you based on things

[35:17] like views, watch time, your audience

[35:20] type, the niche that you're in, things

[35:22] like that. And depending on how many

[35:24] views you're getting, this can

[35:26] potentially become a pretty significant

[35:28] uh source of income for your YouTube

[35:31] channel. But AdSense is honestly just

[35:33] one small piece of the puzzle. So for

[35:35] example, my experiment faceliftless

[35:37] channel that I talked about earlier, I

[35:39] was making money with that channel using

[35:41] affiliate marketing. And affiliate

[35:43] marketing is actually very simple.

[35:45] Basically, all you're doing is just

[35:46] recommending a product or service within

[35:48] your video. And if somebody buys the

[35:51] product or service through your special

[35:53] link, you'll earn a commission. So, for

[35:55] example, if you are reviewing uh

[35:58] products or gadgets or books or tools or

[36:01] cameras or really anything that people

[36:03] can buy online, you can sign up for

[36:05] affiliate programs and start putting

[36:07] those links in your description. Now,

[36:10] one of the easiest places to start is

[36:12] the Amazon Associates program, which is

[36:14] Amazon's free affiliate program.

[36:17] basically create a free account, grab

[36:19] your custom product links, and then you

[36:21] would add those links to your video

[36:23] description. And then if somebody buys

[36:25] through one of your links, you'll earn a

[36:27] percentage of the final sale. And the

[36:29] cool thing about affiliate marketing is

[36:31] that you don't even have to have a

[36:32] monetized channel to start doing this.

[36:35] You can technically make affiliate

[36:36] income before you ever qualify for

[36:39] AdSense. Right? with my experiment

[36:41] channel. I didn't upload a single video

[36:44] on my channel before I went ahead and

[36:46] created my Amazon Associates account and

[36:48] started collecting affiliate links to

[36:51] place in future videos. And so with

[36:53] affiliate marketing, typically you can

[36:55] start doing that immediately. Now, even

[36:57] beyond affiliate marketing, you can also

[36:59] eventually sell your own products. And

[37:02] so that could be things like digital

[37:04] products like ebooks or templates or

[37:06] perhaps some type of paid community or

[37:09] coaching or consulting, maybe even your

[37:11] own software. Perhaps you could create a

[37:14] kids book using AI, which I've actually

[37:16] got a video for on my channel, which

[37:18] I'll link down below. And then you can

[37:20] get that kids book listed for sale on

[37:22] Amazon. And then you can create a

[37:25] YouTube channel. And then you can create

[37:26] a faceless YouTube video um similar to

[37:29] the one I showed you earlier where it's

[37:31] literally just you showing pages of the

[37:33] book and you're just reading the book,

[37:35] right? You're not even showing your

[37:36] face. It's just the pages of the book

[37:38] with some maybe some subtle movement and

[37:41] you are simply reading the book and that

[37:43] is the entire video. And then you can

[37:45] have a link to that book in the

[37:48] description of that video for people to

[37:50] buy. But there are so so many different

[37:52] ways that you can go about this. And

[37:55] this is why I think learning YouTube is

[37:57] such a valuable skill right now because

[37:59] even if your channel never becomes

[38:01] massive, right? You're still learning

[38:03] about content creation and storytelling

[38:06] and audience building. You're learning

[38:08] different marketing skills and all that

[38:10] stuff is incredibly valuable. Now,

[38:13] here's the truth about this, okay? Most

[38:15] people who start this are going to quit

[38:18] way too early. They'll upload a few

[38:20] videos. Those videos probably won't get

[38:22] many views. And because of that, they'll

[38:24] assume it doesn't work and they'll quit.

[38:26] But YouTube is usually way slower in the

[38:29] beginning than most people expect. Even

[38:31] with my experiment channel, some videos

[38:34] barely did anything and then other

[38:36] videos started getting traction like

[38:38] months later after I posted the video,

[38:40] right? That's just kind of how YouTube

[38:42] works sometimes. But that's why

[38:44] consistency is so incredibly important

[38:47] because one single video can completely

[38:50] change the trajectory of a channel. So

[38:53] hopefully this video gave you a

[38:55] realistic understanding of how this

[38:58] process actually works and hopefully it

[39:00] gave you some confidence to finally go

[39:02] and start your own faceless YouTube

[39:05] channel. I'll leave links to all of the

[39:07] tools and resources that I mentioned
