The only 7 faceless niches that will make money on YouTube
I’ve researched hundreds of faceless YouTube channels to find the seven niches that will actually make you money in 2024. But before I get into the actual niches, there’s something you need to see. I got 45,000 views on a video on one of my faceless YouTube channels, and I got 500,000 views on another video from a completely different faceless YouTube channel.
Now, you’d think that the 500,000 view video made ten times more than the 45,000 view video, right? Ten times more views should equal ten times more dollars earned. Wrong. The 500,000 view video made me $920, while the 45,000 view video made me $641. Okay, so yes, the 500,000 view video made more money, but not ten times more. So why is that? It’s because of the niche of each of the faceless YouTube channels.
Now, the 500,000 view video was on a gaming channel. It had a CPM of $3.99, which is the amount of money YouTube charges from advertisers for every 1,000 views on your video, and an RPM of $1.85, which is the amount of money YouTube pays you for 1,000 views on your video. For every 1,000 views, I made $1.85.
The 45,000 view video was on a personal development channel. It had a CPM of $51.50 — that’s over 15 times higher than the gaming channel — and it had an RPM of $14 even, which is over seven times higher than the gaming channel. So for every 1,000 views on this channel, I made $14 even. So you can see, it’s extremely important to choose the right niche because you could put the same amount of effort into two videos and get 1 million views on both, but if one is on a low CPM niche channel, it might only make you $100, while a high CPM niche channel might make you over $2,000 from the same million views. The amount of money that you make all comes down to the niche that you choose for your faceless YouTube channel.
So, I’ve put together this list of the top seven niches based on how they score across two main criteria. Number one, the niche needs to have a high earning potential, and number two, the videos on the niche have to be easy enough for you to create even if you’re an absolute beginner. I’m ranking the niches from worst to best based on these criteria.
#7 Self-improvement
Now, like I just said, I’ve had personal success with this niche. It has an earnings potential score of 6 out of 10 and an ease of video creation score of 5 out of 10, giving it a total score of 5.5 out of 10.
Using “Improvement Pill” (YouTube channel) as an example, we see it has 3.5 million subscribers and is estimated to be making $63,000 per month from AdSense alone. This channel was created 8 years ago, and the videos are evergreen. “J Wisdom” is an example of a more recent channel in the niche that’s taken off in the last year, with 65,000 subscribers earning $1,000 per month by only posting one video per month. The videos that Improvement Pill makes are difficult, with animations and advanced editing, but Jay Wisdom uses stock footage and movie clips in all of their videos, bringing the ease of video creation up. When I had a couple channels in the self-improvement niche, I used strictly stock footage.
#6 psychology facts
It has an earnings potential of 5 out of 10 and an ease of video creation score of 9 out of 10 for an average score of 7 out of 10 for this niche. Let’s look at “TopThink”. They’re estimated to be earning $65,000 per month and have 2.67 million subscribers. They create listicle videos like “Top 12 Facts for This” or “Top 10 Reasons for That” within the world of psychology. “Psychology Arcade” is an example of one of the many channels that have popped up in the last year and are having success in this niche. TopThink uses animations for their videos, but you could easily create videos using only a voice-over and stock footage, like on Psychology Arcade.
#5 Health and Wellness
It has an earnings potential score of 6 out of 10 and an ease of video creation score of 9 out of 10 for an average score of 7.5 out of 10. Two examples of channels in this niche are “Bestie Health” and “Body Hub”.Both are earning up to $7,700 per month creating videos that are purely stock footage with some simple text motion graphics and a voice-over. While they have both been around for 5 to 6 years, the health and well-being industry is expected to rapidly grow over the next 10 years, so there’s a lot of opportunity here.
#4 History stories
This niche has an earnings potential score of 8 out of 10 and an ease of video creation score of 8 out of 10 for an average score of 8 out of 10. Let’s look at “Alternative History Hub”. It has 2 million subscribers. For earnings potential, we see this channel making up to $113,000 per month from AdSense alone. This channel was started 11 years ago, but the niche is still working today. Let’s look at the channel “History Verse”, which released its first video in July 2023 and already has over 70,000 subscribers and over 40 million views. The videos on Alternative History Hub are made using stick-figure animations and historical videos and photos that are relevant to the videos. These videos would be tough to make, which brings the ease of video creation score down. But History Verse brings the score up a bit since those videos are 100% AI-generated.
#3 Book Summaries
It has an earnings potential score of 7 out of 10 and an ease of video creation score of 10 out of 10 for an average score of 8.5 out of 10. Let’s look at “Escaping Ordinary”, which has 1.1 million subscribers and brings in up to $43,000 per month. They’ve been around for 5 years, but “Book Every Day” was started less than 2 years ago. Plus, books are coming out every day to summarize, so there will always be a need for this kind of content. Escaping Ordinary uses advanced animations and editing, but Book Every Day uses stock footage to create their videos. You could be successful in this niche and make it so much easier on yourself by using ChatGPT to summarize the books for you and InVideo AI to generate the videos for you.
#2 Business stories and documentaries
It has an earnings potential score of 10 out of 10 and an ease of video creation score of 8 out of 10 for an average score of 9 out of 10. We’re going to use two channels for this niche: “Magnates Media” and “Company Man”. Both earn anywhere from $8,700 to $26,000 per month. There aren’t too many examples of recently created faceless YouTube channels on this topic, but these videos are evergreen, and if done right, they can perform well on YouTube forever. Both use stock videos, photos, and content from around the internet with a voice-over to create their videos. The most difficult part of this niche is finding the stories to create videos about and putting scripts together in a way that will keep viewers engaged, but AI tools like ChatGPT or Bard can help.
#1 AI news and updates
With perfect tens across the board in earnings potential and ease of video creation, we have the top opportunity with an average score of 10 out of 10. Let’s look at The “AI Grid”. They earn up to $19,200. Another example of a channel in this niche is “AI Revolution X”, earning up to $558,000. Both channels were created within the last year and have seen massive growth. They both create content using stock footage and other relevant images and videos of AI tools and brands. AI is going nowhere, and content around AI is going to be successful for years and years to come.
