Did you know you can create a YouTube channel without showing your face?
If this is the one thing stopping you from starting a YouTube channel, fear not!
I will introduce several niches so that you can start a faceless YouTube channel! Let’s go!
1. Ambient Music Channel
One of the milestones you must clear to be monetized on YouTube is reaching 4,000 watch hours. That is tough for some channels that make 2-3 minute videos.
4000 hours = 240,000 minutes.
To reach 240,000 minutes, 10-minute videos need to be watched 24,000 times.
People don’t watch the whole 10 minutes, so it will be more.
While this is completely doable, it often takes longer than you anticipate.
Now, ambient music channel has the advantage of reaching 4,000 hours fast. Because you can create a longer video that is over one hour. People play it for background music, or when they try to fall asleep.
A side note to remember is to purchase your music before publishing. So that you own the rights to the music.
2. Meditation Music Channel
It is a micro niche in the ambient music channels.
With the mindfulness trend, this niche does very well.
3. Funny Animal Video Channel
There are a few sub-niches for these funny animal videos.
Some people collect funny videos from other people’s sources, put them together as remixes, and publish them as their own. There is a gray area about YouTube’s rule for a “fair use” of other people’s videos before you get a copyright strike.
It is always safe to create your original videos.
You can film your pet, your family and friends’ pet, or any wild animals that pass by your backyard. The ideas are endless.
How many hours do you spend watching cat videos? (I do spend quite a bit! )
So this is an evergreen, always popular niche!
4. AI Created Animation Philosophy Channel
With the new AI technology, it is even easier to make animations.
You don’t even have to draw or voice over it. You don’t have to write if you don’t want to. Ask AI, such as Chat GPT, to create a script for the philosophy niche.
Then, have Mid Journey create images, animate them on Genmo, and put them together on
