In 2025, faceless content is no longer a trend—it’s a business model. Creators are now turning today’s breaking news into $1,300 per day without showing their face, speaking a word, or using a camera.

This blog will walk you through how anyone can tap into this explosive opportunity by leveraging trending headlines, AI-powered tools like InVideo AI, and SEO platforms like VidIQ.

The Rise of Faceless News Channels

Take this real-world example: AM Unfiltered, a faceless news YouTube channel launched just three months ago.

And it isn’t about luck—it’s strategy. Here’s how you can follow a similar path.

Step 1: Find Viral Headlines Using ChatGPT

The key to virality? Trending news. With real-time access now available to free ChatGPT users (as of April 2025), it's never been easier to get top headlines in seconds.

Use This Prompt in ChatGPT to pull:

Breaking news
Viral debates
Controversies
Celebrity scandals
Emotional stories

BONUS: The prompt also suggests YouTube video ideas for each headline.

Example Headline: *"Congressman Thanedar Files Impeachment Articles Against Trump, Citing 'Sweeping Abuse of Power'"

With just this headline and its link, you're ready for the next step.

Step 2: Turn Headlines Into Videos Using InVideo AI

Go to InVideo AI and click "Create AI Video". Choose the "Explainer Video" option and follow these steps:

Paste your headline and ChatGPT-generated script into the prompt field
Choose "Use Only Generative Clips" for fully AI-generated content
Change voiceover to "news reporter" style for extra authenticity
Let InVideo AI build your video from scratch

Voila! You now have a professional-grade faceless video that looks like it came from a major media house.

Step 3: Customize to Stand Out

Want to boost credibility and views? Add:

Real news clips
Politician/celebrity footage
Screenshots of breaking tweets or articles

How to Customize in InVideo AI:

Screen-record relevant clips (under 30 seconds)
Go to "Edit" > "Upload Media" > Insert your clip
Adjust voiceover and volume for seamless integration

Stay within Fair Use limits: your content must be transformative (commentary, education, reporting).

Step 4: Optimize for Clicks Using VidIQ

Post your video to YouTube with:

Eye-catching thumbnails (made with VidIQ)
SEO-optimized titles & descriptions
Tags that match trending search queries

With the right metadata, YouTube's algorithm will start favoring your uploads.

Step 5: Post Consistently to Scale Fast

Like any channel, consistency is king. Here’s what you need to know:

Post daily (or multiple times a day if possible)
Stay on top of trending stories (use ChatGPT prompt daily)
Track performance and double down on viral topics

Remember: Your first 10-20 videos may flop. But that one breakout video? It can earn thousands.

Conclusion: Make the News Work for You

The news cycle never sleeps. That means every day brings a new opportunity to create, publish, and profit.

You don’t need expensive gear, editing expertise, or even to be on camera.

You just need:

The right headline
AI tools like InVideo and ChatGPT
A monetization mindset

It’s 2025. Viral content is just a headline away.
