How to build a profitable Faceless YouTube Channel in 72 Hours


Listen Later

I’m joined by Jonathan Courtney, Co-Founder and CEO of AJ&Smart, to explore the growing trend of Faceless YouTube channels 

What are faceless YouTube channels? 
• No visible creator
• Voiceover narration
• Can be high-quality content or "absolute dog shit"
• Huge opportunity for creators who don't want to be on camera

Tools to get started
• ChatGPT/Claude for scripts
• Gummy Search for topic research
• DALL-E 2 for image generation
• Crayo for video creation
• Eleven Labs for AI voiceovers
• vidIQ/ViewStats for optimization

Choosing your niche is crucial
• Target specific lifestyles or communities
• Examples: anti-smartphone, keto diet, video game lore
• Focus on high-impact, underserved areas
• Build products/services for your audience later

 Examples of successful faceless channels
• Lemmino (history & mysteries)
• Internet Historian
• The Infographics Show (14.3M subs!)
• Daily Dose of Internet

Why start a faceless YouTube channel?
•Build an audience without personal exposure
• Learn about AI tools and audience building
• Potential to quit your job if successful
• Create valuable, shareable content
