4. Faceless YouTube Channels
“But I’m camera shy!” No problem.
Faceless YouTube channels are booming, and AI makes them easier than ever to create.
These channels deliver value through information rather than personality, using AI-generated voiceovers, stock footage, and automated editing.
My colleague Jake started a faceless channel on “Uncommon History Facts” last year. Using Synthesia for video generation and ElevenLabs for realistic voiceovers, he now publishes three videos weekly with just 5 hours of work. His monthly YouTube revenue? Just crossed $2,300.
To build your faceless YouTube empire:
- Choose a content niche with search potential: Educational content, list videos, or how-to guides
- Script with AI assistance: ChatGPT can draft engaging scripts based on your topic ideas
- Generate professional voiceovers: ElevenLabs and Murf AI offer incredibly human-like voices
- Automate editing: Tools like OpusClip can cut videos into shorts automatically
- Optimize for search: Use TubeBuddy or VidIQ to find trending topics in your niche
The key is consistency. Set a publishing schedule and stick to it, even if it’s just once a week.

Let’s explore three visual side hustles that are redefining the creative economy.
