How to Start a Faceless YouTube Channel With AI in 2025 (Step-by-Step Tutorial)



You’ve probably seen the viral faceless YouTube channels pulling in jaw-dropping earnings. One of my favorite channels is reportedly making between $12,000 and $37,000/month, while another rakes in $3,000 to $9,000/month. The top-performing channel we looked at is estimated at $27,000 to $82,000/month, all per vidIQ analytics.

Now, there’s no guarantee you’ll hit those numbers right away. But I share these figures to show you what’s possible. Many are doing this successfully—and you can too.


Why Faceless Channels Are Booming

Not everyone wants to be on camera. Maybe you’re shy, value your privacy, or simply don’t have the time to film. With AI tools, it’s easier than ever to create high-quality faceless videos with stunning visuals and humanlike voiceovers.

This blog is your end-to-end guide for launching a profitable faceless YouTube channel in 2025.


Step 1: Choose a Profitable Faceless YouTube Niche


Here are 8 trending niches for faceless channels:

  • 3D Animation

  • Personal Finance / Make Money Online

  • Horror & Scary Stories

  • Self-Help & Motivation

  • Tech Reviews

  • History & Documentaries

  • AI Tools

  • Health & Wellness


Tip: Don’t just pick the most profitable niche. Choose one you’ll enjoy creating content around so you stay consistent long-term.

Step 2: Set Up and Brand Your Channel

  1. Create a Google account if you don’t already have one.

  2. Go to YouTube → Click your profile icon → Select Create Channel.

  3. Add your channel name. If you’re stuck, ask ChatGPT to generate name ideas based on your niche.

  1. Create your logo using KD (kittl.com). Ask ChatGPT for an AI image prompt.

  2. Design your banner on KD → Templates → YouTube Banners. Add your logo and a simple slogan (ChatGPT can help with that too).

  3. Add a channel description. Prompt ChatGPT: "Write a YouTube channel description for [Channel Name] about [Niche]."

  4. Upload your:

  5. Logo (profile image)

  6. Banner (channel art)

  7. Description

  8. Channel handle (e.g., @Money2.0)


Your channel is now branded and ready to roll!

Step 3: Create Your Faceless Videos

Method 1: AI-Generated Story Videos (Horror Niche Example)

Use ChatGPT to generate:

  • Video title ideas

  • Story outlines or full scripts

Paste this into InVideo AI under generative media.


Add subtitles with a simple command: "Add subtitles to this video." Download your video and you’re good to go.


Method 2: Animated Self-Help Videos

Use ChatGPT to brainstorm motivational video ideas. In InVideo, go to:

  • Create Animated Film → Paste your script/title → Select only generated clips

You can even change the voiceover language to reach new markets!


Method 3: Transform Existing YouTube Videos (Make Money

Online Niche)

Use any video link (your own or someone else’s as inspiration) → InVideo AI → Create Faceless Videos workflow → Paste the link → Select stock media style → Customize.


Step 4: Upload & Optimize with vidIQ

  1. Use vidIQ to generate:

    • SEO-optimized titles

    • Video descriptions

    • Tags/keywords

  2. Ask ChatGPT for thumbnail text based on your title.

  3. Use vidIQ Thumbnail Generator → Choose your style → Enter the thumbnail text.

  4. Upload your video to YouTube:

    • Title, description, tags (from vidIQ)

    • Thumbnail (from vidIQ)

    • Schedule the video at least 30 minutes later


Why? YouTube needs time to process the video and determine the best audience for it.


Common Risks & How to Avoid Them

1. Copyright: Always use royalty-free music. InVideo handles this if you use their assets.

2. Low Retention: Use hooks in the first 10 seconds and cut out the fluff.

3. Impatience: It may take months to monetize. Be consistent for at least a year.


Final Words

You don’t need fancy equipment. A smartphone, tablet, or computer is enough to get started. With the help of tools like ChatGPT, InVideo AI, KD, and vidIQ—you can build and grow a professional faceless YouTube channel from scratch.
