The Rise of a New YouTube Niche
One of the channels that actually started out got over 100 million views so far and about 999,000 subscribers.
Challenges and Success Stories
Now, unfortunately, this channel didn’t make anything from ad revenue, but some other channels that I started without showing my face, as you can see, got pretty decent results. Here’s another channel over here that got about 347 million views and about 100,000 subscribers. Here’s another one over here that during its lifetime did quite well in terms of ad revenue. Here’s another one over here that during its lifetime did about $162k, but only in the last 28 days did $59 because I made a mistake, which I want to show you how to avoid in this step-by-step tutorial.
Avoiding Common Mistakes
Here’s another channel where I avoided that mistake, and now we started growing to over $4K a month. During the last 365 days, this channel did $47K, and during its lifetime, it did about (let it just load) I believe over $330K. Here’s another one over here that during its lifetime did about $3K but died down right now because we made a mistake that I want you to avoid in this step-by-step tutorial.
Step 1: Understanding the Niche
Step number one is understanding how this YouTube niche even works and how these people are running these channels without showing their face. To do that, I will be showing you some real-life examples.
Case Studies of AI Channels
This channel over here called The AI Grid is posting everything related to AI and, most importantly, posting news related to AI. Now, I really wonder if you can catch what all of these videos have in common besides the same niche.
According to ViewStance, which is MrBeast’s tool, this channel is doing about $11K per month just from ad revenue. Here’s another example channel over here called AI Uncovered, and they’re also posting videos. They also have one thing in common as the previous channel that I will share, and it’s not the niche.
Step 2: Monetizing Your Channel
Step number two: In order to actually make money from the videos that you are posting on your YouTube channel, you need to be approved into YouTube’s Partner Program. Current monetization requirements are 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours of watch time in the last 12 months.
Step 3: Generating Content Ideas Using ChatGPT
Step number three is to go over to ChatGPT, and there is this new GPT available in the store completely free of charge that is all about news.
Step 4: Naming and Branding Your Channel
For step number four, I would just tell it to give me 10 different name ideas for a YouTube channel that talks about AI.
Step 5: Creating a Logo for Your Channel
Go to a logo creator inside ChatGPT and just tell it that you have a YouTube channel.
Optimizing Your YouTube Channel Settings
Next up, what we obviously want to do is sign up for YouTube and create a channel.
Using Tools for Video and Voiceovers
Now, in terms of editing these videos, here’s an example one generated by The AI Grid.
The Importance of Thumbnails
When it comes to creating thumbnails, I found a bunch of these faceless YouTube channels that blew up with their first videos.
Final Thoughts
Again, remember that in order to actually monetize these faceless videos, you need to be approved into the Partner Program.
