These days, a lot of people want to make videos on YouTube and become famous and rich as YouTubers. A lot of people are talented but awkward in front of the camera. They consider whether they can make a YouTube channel without showing their faces.
Are you the same way? Do you look for ideas for your YouTube channel without showing your face? There are many ways to do that and make money, so don’t worry. The good thing about making these kinds of videos is that you don’t need a lot of gear—you just need content—and you don’t have to worry about getting ready.
7. Gaming
This is a great way to come up with ideas for your YouTube channel without having to show your face. There are a lot of popular gaming channels right now. Some of them have over 100 million subscribers, and all they do is post gaming videos on YouTube.
If you are good at games, you can show off your skills on a channel. You can make your videos interesting and one-of-a-kind by adding funny comments or tasks.
You must have heard of the famous YouTube channels Ninja and PewDiePie they have millions of subscribers and earn a handsome amount every month through ads, sponsorships, live streaming, views, and endorsements.
To make these video clips, all you have to do is record yourself playing games, talk to the viewers, and help them improve their game. In fact, you can post videos in which you talk about some tricks and tips that gamers can use to get better at games. This is a great way to make a YouTube channel without having to show your face.
6. Meme Recap
People on the internet really enjoy memes, and it’s easy to make a YouTube video around them. Get your jokes together, put on some fun music, and go. You could also say something funny in your voice about the jokes you chose (voice modulators are fun for this).
Over 500,000 people follow Mentally Mitch’s faceless YouTube channel, which is a great example of a meme picture review channel. Yes, you have over 500,000 followers because you respond to jokes.
Oh, and he doesn’t just hide his face, he also edits his voice by raising the pitch to a comically high level. It gives him a lot of extra personality while maintaining a certain level of anonymity and privacy.
There are a lot of these kinds of YouTube channels, but there is still room for creators who are ready to work hard every day.
Also, video ideas for this channel aren’t difficult at all since new memes sprout up all day every day. You can create awesome videos and a profitable channel just by reacting to 12-15 memes per video!
5. Scary Stories
Those who enjoy horror films will particularly appreciate this one if you can do a spooky voice (if your natural sounds aren’t good enough, don’t forget to use voice modulators!).
These YouTube channels have creepy images, skin crawling voiceovers, and, of course, quality stories designed to keep you awake all night long.
My personal favorite is a series called Scary Stories Told in the Rain from the channel Being Scared.
Also check out Mr. Nightmare who has over 5 million subscribers and Corpse Husband who boasts nearly 7 ½ million subs!
One really cool thing about a lot of these channels is that they focus 99% of their attention on spoken word instead of original video footage. A lot of the time, they’re just audio videos with stock footage of a storm or a fire pit playing in the background. You can find these in free stock videos.
4. Top List Videos
One of the best and many different types of videos on YouTube is the “top list” category. You can make a top-list video about anything you want, whether it’s movies, video games, famous gossip, weird facts, or a mix of all of these things. Find your top list, get some videos and pictures to go with it, and then have fun reading and going over it again.
Check out WatchMojo.com with over 23 million subscribers as a great example of a list-video channel.
There are a lot of “top ten videos” out there, but you can use any style you want. Try making it more like “top 30” or less like “top 5” and see what people like best.
A lot of people trying to sell you a course on faceless channels will say that a “top 10” is the best idea for a faceless YouTube channel, but that’s not always true. There’s just one more way.
3. Science
There are so many big channels in this niche that use just the voice-over formula and never show any faces. Some have even become legendary, but I want to show you this one called Smart banana.
This person only makes very simple voice-over videos about science, technology, and space. These videos gain a lot of views and followers.
2. Horror
Now check out this channel called Nuke’s top 5.
The guy on YouTube makes scary videos but never shows his face. He also adds a voiceover to the videos, which helps him get a lot of viewers. Nearly 20 million views and 3 million members are thrill seekers.
1. Technology
Now, technology is still a great niche where you can succeed without showing your face, like the authors of the channel called Tech Zone.
They make videos about news in the tech world, new tools, and a lot of other tech-related topics. Tech Zone is doing really well. Many people have watched it, and more than 3 million have signed up to follow it.
