00:00idea number one is using stock footage
00:02and channels like brainy dose do this
00:04and they get millions of views per month
00:06and in order for stock footage to work
00:08what i would personally do is try to
00:10find a niche where it would actually
00:11make sense to just have audio plane in
00:14the background and showing stock footage
00:16on top this isn't going to work for
00:18every single niche however this can
00:20definitely work for certain niches where
00:22you're mostly focused on what's being
00:24said throughout the video and for
00:26example it can work in the psychology
00:27niche as evidenced by brainy dose
00:30because what's really important in these
00:32videos isn't necessarily the stock
00:34footage that's being shown on the screen
00:36but it's really what's being said
00:37throughout the video and the points that
00:39they're giving and the educational value
00:41that's being delivered and now you might
00:42be asking matt where can i get stock
00:44footage for completely free well you can
00:46use pixabay video pexel's video a
00:49website called vedivo and another
00:51website called vid easy and for example
00:53if we open up this channel brainy dose
00:55right here which has over a million
00:57subscribers and gets five million views
00:59per month if we go to one of their
01:00latest videos for example this one right
01:02here why you shouldn't tell people
01:04brainy does your goals as you can see it
01:06starts off with a picture of somebody
01:07riding in a car so you can go to
01:09websites like vid easy right here and
01:12you can simply search car just like so
01:14and you'll find tons of free stock
01:16footage that you can use of cars with
01:17people driving cars and so on and then
01:19really what i would recommend doing with
01:21this niche is first of all writing the
01:22script then doing a voiceover and then
01:25going out to find different stock clips
01:27from any of the different stock websites
01:29that are out there now if you're using
01:31some of the free stock websites and you
01:33can't find a particular clip that you
01:34really want to use within your video
01:37then you can consider some paid options
01:39as well that have a way bigger library
01:41of stock videos for example you could
01:43look into story blocks envato elements
01:45and motion elements and then you might
01:47be asking matt how could i edit together
01:49these stock videos all into a single
01:51video well you don't need to buy any
01:53expensive editing programs you can
01:54actually use a free software such as
01:56shot cut hit film express or open shot
02:00and you never have to even show your
02:02face within this niche idea number two
02:04for making youtube videos without ever
02:06showing your face is screen recordings
02:09you can simply record your either
02:10computer screen or phone screen and show
02:13different tutorials how to use certain
02:15software to give value to people when
02:17they're searching for how to use a
02:19particular software or how to do
02:20something on their device and there's
02:23many channels that get millions of views
02:24per month and make way more than
02:26full-time incomes just by making screen
02:28recording videos and doing a voice over
02:31over the screen recording now you might
02:33be saying matt i need an example of this
02:35so this channel right here is called
02:37simon says it and this channel simply
02:39does screen recordings showing how to do
02:41certain things within different software
02:42for example this video right here shows
02:44how to fix a missing scroll bar in excel
02:47and this channel pulls in over a million
02:49views per month doing this and they've
02:51gotten over 300 000 subscribers which
02:54would earn them a silver play button
02:56also here's another channel called
02:57techgumbo and this channel right here
03:00has over a million subscribers which
03:01would earn them a gold play button and
03:04this channel pulls in a whopping 2.6
03:07million views per month so these
03:09channels could potentially be making
03:10quite a bit of money just from ad
03:12revenue alone not to mention if they
03:14became affiliates for a bunch of the
03:15different software that they talk about
03:17within their video for example this
03:19video right here talks about the top
03:21five best video editing software and
03:24what they could actually do is sign up
03:26for the affiliate programs of some of
03:27the software that they talk about and
03:29then they could put that in their
03:30description and if we watch their videos
03:32as we can see it's literally just a
03:34screen recording final cut pro's
03:35available software right here and these
03:38videos would potentially be quite easy
03:39to make now you might be asking matt how
03:42can i actually record my screen and make
03:44videos such as this so i can build up a
03:46channel doing this well i would
03:48recommend a completely free software you
03:50don't have to pay for screen recording
03:51software and it's called obs studio obs
03:55studio is my personal favorite screen
03:57recorder in fact for this video that
03:58you're watching right here i'm using obs
04:00and i can actually show you what it
04:02looks like this is obs right here it's
04:04super simple to use you can drag
04:06yourself around and make these super
04:07easy screen recording videos you just
04:09hit start recording stop recording it's
04:12everything you need to create these
04:13types of videos to potentially get a ton
04:15of use on youtube and do very well and
04:17think of how many different software are
04:19out there that you could make specific
04:20tutorials showing how to use every
04:22feature within those software you'll
04:24never run out of video ideas and then
04:26also a really cool thing about doing
04:28screen recording videos is that a lot of
04:30cell phones actually have screen
04:31recorders built into them so you could
04:33potentially hit a whole nother market by
04:35doing screen recording videos showing
04:37how to use different apps how to use
04:39their phone how to set up settings
04:40within your phone so screen recording
04:42videos could potentially be a great way
04:44to create youtube videos without ever
04:46showing your face idea number three is
04:49slideshows there are tons of different
04:51slideshow videos on youtube that get
04:53lots and lots of views and slideshows
04:55are relatively easy to make for example
04:58you can use completely free online
05:00programs such as google slides which is
05:02built into your google account which you
05:03probably have if you're watching this
05:05video on youtube and you probably want
05:07to see an example of a slideshow video
05:08that got a ton of views so this video
05:11right here is called intermittent
05:13fasting for weight loss right here and
05:15as you can see he's actually using obs
05:17to record his screen at the beginning of
05:18the video but if we get into the video
05:21he's simply using microsoft powerpoint
05:23to create a slideshow in which he goes
05:25over some of the benefits of
05:27intermittent fasting and exactly how to
05:29do it this is just a slideshow video in
05:32which he does a voiceover on top of the
05:34video kind of explaining these different
05:36concepts relating to intermittent
05:38fasting how it works the benefits of it
05:40and so on and you can create slideshow
05:42videos on so many different topics in
05:44fact this video right here could have
05:45definitely been a slideshow video i
05:47could simply create a slideshow showing
05:48some of these different channels put
05:50them on the slideshow and make it look
05:52nice now you might be asking matt how
05:54can i get icons to show within my
05:56slideshow like a lot of these ones have
05:58that get a lot of views on youtube in
06:00fact this channel is pulling in over
06:01half a million views per month and it's
06:03in the health niche which there is a ton
06:06of demand for tons of products you can
06:07sell and a decent cpm niche from my
06:10personal experience well a way to get
06:12completely free icons for your
06:14slideshows is a website called
06:18and as you can see if we just search
06:19within here let's say we're making a
06:20video about health so we want to search
06:22biology we'll simply search it there and
06:24as you can see there's tons of
06:26completely free icons that you can use
06:28within your slideshows and by proxy your
06:30videos however if you do use this
06:32website flat icon i would recommend
06:34signing up for one of their paid plans
06:35due to the fact that i think you get
06:36like commercial use with the icons and
06:38then you get access to a ton of more
06:40icons as well and what's really cool
06:42about flat icon is they actually have a
06:44google slide extension meaning that when
06:47you're creating your slides within
06:48google slides you just select add-on and
06:50you can actually import icons directly
06:52into google slides to make this as
06:54simple and as easy as possible idea
06:56number four for creating faceless
06:58youtube videos is by using text on your
07:02screen this could example work if you're
07:03telling stories within your videos or if
07:06you simply want to highlight what's
07:08being said within your videos and you
07:10could for example use a combination of
07:11both stock footage and text on the
07:14screen as well and there's lots of quote
07:16videos on youtube that do incredibly
07:18well just literally showing text on a
07:20screen as well as fun fact videos but
07:23let's take a look at a couple examples
07:24of using text on a screen because you're
07:26probably curious what are these channels
07:28actually doing in order to get tons of
07:30views literally putting text on a screen
07:33the first example i'm going to show you
07:34is a channel called explore lucid
07:36dreaming now this channel hasn't
07:38uploaded in a long time yet they still
07:40pull in almost a million views per month
07:42and if we go to their videos tab right
07:44here and we go to one of their top
07:45videos lucid dream example 13 things you
07:47should never do in your dreams as you
07:49can see it's simply stock footage but
07:51then they also put text on the screen as
07:53they're going throughout the video so
07:55it's kind of a combination between two
07:57methods right there but you might be
07:59asking what's an example of just using
08:01text on a screen well there's tons of
08:04different quote videos for example this
08:05one right here which got 8.6 million
08:08views simply talking about the ultimate
08:10stoic quote compilation so they just do
08:12narration on these different quotes and
08:14they read through them throughout the
08:16video now i would be a little bit
08:18careful if you're going to be creating
08:19quote videos due to the fact that you
08:21could have copyright problems or
08:23problems actually getting your channel
08:24monetized with youtube in order to make
08:26ad revenue so what i would do to be as
08:28safe as possible with creating quote
08:30videos is that make sure you're
08:32following the guidelines of fair use
08:34meaning that you give adequate
08:35commentary on each of the quotes that
08:37you talk about you don't just say the
08:38quote but you kind of explain it more in
08:40detail and you make it as comprehensive
08:43as possible when you talk about
08:45different quotes from different people
08:47idea number five is by using stock
08:49photos you can always use this in
08:51combination with stock photos and videos
08:53now there's a couple of new websites
08:55that i want to share with you in which
08:56you can get tons of free stock photos
08:58for completely free for your videos but
09:01first i want to show you a channel
09:02that's actually using primarily stock
09:04photos within their videos and they
09:06still do incredibly well for example
09:08this channel right here is a scary story
09:11channel and they simply narrate scary
09:13stories and they have a simple picture
09:14that relates to the story directly on
09:16the video with some text on top of that
09:18so story channels could be a perfect
09:20example of using primarily just a stock
09:23photo now let me give you a couple
09:25example websites where you can actually
09:26get these kind of stock photos for
09:28example you have pixabay.com you have
09:31pexels you have unsplash.com and then
09:33you also have a website called
09:35morguefile and you can use any of these
09:37websites to find tons of free stock
09:39photos for example if we go to pixabay
09:41right here and we search house you'll
09:43see tons of different images of houses
09:45that you can use for example this one
09:47kind of looks like a creepy house that
09:48you could use for like a scary story
09:50type of thing and you can even search
09:52like haunted house for example if you're
09:54doing a scary story channel search
09:56haunted house and check this out tons of
09:59different pictures that you can use
10:00within your videos you can even have it
10:02fade in and out with different pictures
10:04use any of the free editors that i
10:05mentioned earlier in this video and you
10:07can actually create videos just like
10:09this without ever showing your face idea
10:12number six for video ideas without ever
10:14showing your face is whiteboard videos
10:16and this doesn't mean that you actually
10:18have to own a whiteboard and videotape
10:20yourself drawing on it no there are
10:21completely online software that you can
10:23actually use to create these types of
10:26whiteboard videos without actually ever
10:28drawing on a whiteboard yourself they
10:30might be saying that what are the
10:31software and can you give me an example
10:33of a channel that's actually doing this
10:34successfully and yes i'm gonna actually
10:36pull up a channel right here which is
10:38called philosophies for life has almost
10:40a million subscribers on it and not only
10:42that but this channel pulls in over a
10:44million views per month and it mostly
10:46talks about ancient wisdom from
10:48different philosophers who have lived
10:49throughout time and it talks about how
10:51you can actually improve yourself by
10:53following some of their wisdom but if we
10:55watch any of these actual videos you
10:57will notice that it is simply a
10:59whiteboard video with some narration on
11:02top of it and the whiteboard consists of
11:04just showing different pictures on the
11:05whiteboard as well as text throughout
11:08the video and this by far is not the
11:10only channel that does this there are
11:11tons of different whiteboard channels
11:13out there that do this exact method and
11:16if you're looking for a whiteboard video
11:18software you can consider software such
11:20as videoscribe which i've personally
11:22used and it works great and there's also
11:24software out there like doodly which i
11:26haven't used but i've heard many great
11:28things about it as well for a whiteboard
11:30video software idea number seven is 2d
11:33animated videos and you're probably
11:35thinking matt in order to create videos
11:36like this you have to be some type of
11:38professional editor who knows how to use
11:40these super advanced complex editing
11:41programs no you don't you can use much
11:44more user-friendly software such as
11:46animaker and you can create videos that
11:48could potentially get a lot of views
11:50without ever showing your face for
11:52example i'm going to point you to a
11:54channel right here called my story
11:56animated which has over 11 million
11:58subscribers which would actually earn
12:00them a diamond play button for having
12:01over 10 million and this channel pulls
12:03in 300 million views per month so this
12:06channel is a giant operation and they've
12:09translated this channel into many
12:10languages as well that multiplies their
12:12revenue many times and not only that but
12:14these videos are simply animated videos
12:16that play telling people's different
12:18stories so you could find other people's
12:20stories ask them if you can make it into
12:22a video or write your own story in your
12:24own words which i would recommend and
12:26then use a 2d animated software such as
12:28animaker and there's tons of other 2d
12:30animation softwares out there that are
12:32very user friendly and easy to use in
12:34order to create animated videos like
12:36this now it's time for idea number eight
12:38for faceless youtube videos which you
12:41never even have to show your face and
12:43this one's kind of an outside the box
12:44idea and a little bit of a strange one
12:46but it actually works incredibly well
12:49and i'm going to share with you a
12:50software that'll let you create videos
12:52similar to this now idea number eight is
12:55mind map videos now you might be
12:57familiar with what a mind map is
12:59essentially it is a tree of information
13:01that talks about certain things and
13:03organizes information into an easy
13:05digestible format but what you can do is
13:08create mind maps on certain books or
13:10certain subjects that you'd like to
13:12teach people on do a screen recording
13:14showing your mind map and then also
13:16doing a voice over on top of the video
13:18and like i said i'm going to give you a
13:19mind map software but first i want to
13:22show you a channel that's actually doing
13:23this successfully which is this channel
13:25right here called joseph rodriguez has
13:28over 360 000 subscribers and his channel
13:30gets almost a million views per month
13:32and if we take a look at any of these
13:34videos he typically just talks about
13:36different concepts of different mystics
13:37who have lived throughout time and about
13:39different books and think of how many
13:40books are out there that you could
13:42create mind maps on essentially
13:44synthesize the information into as easy
13:46to understand of a manner as possible
13:48and give a ton of value in the process
13:51and what's pretty cool about the
13:53software that he's using which i'm going
13:54to show you in just a second is that you
13:56can start with the concept that you're
13:57trying to show in a very small format
14:00and then you can expand it in order to
14:02talk more in depth about each of these
14:04different formats you don't really even
14:06need to write a script for these types
14:08of videos due to the fact that these
14:09mind maps are essentially a script and
14:12also these mind maps allow you to add
14:13pictures to further demonstrate the
14:15points that you're talking about as well
14:17so that's definitely really cool and
14:18you're probably asking what's this
14:20software that i can use to create mind
14:22map videos similar to this well the
14:23software that joseph rodriguez is using
14:25within these videos is one called x mind
14:28and if you go to xmind.net
14:31download as you can see you can get it
14:32on mac windows or linux or even on your
14:36android or ios device and you can
14:38actually create mind maps similar to
14:40what he was doing and these can be
14:42incredibly helpful for synthesizing
14:44different information in different books
14:46or literary works or really anything
14:48that people are interested in learning
14:49more about you might be asking matt what
14:51are the best niches to do this on well
14:53what i would recommend doing is creating
14:55a channel based off of either health
14:57wealth happiness or relationships and
15:00then choose a sub niche within one of
15:02those niches for example if you chose
15:04the wealth niche you could choose
15:06finance and then a sub niche of that
15:08would be for example make money online
15:10or investing or cryptocurrency there's
15:12so many different options available and
15:14the reason i would choose one of these
15:15niches is due to the fact that you could
15:17sell a product within one of these
15:18niches and potentially make a lot more
15:20money than if you're just relying on ad
15:22revenue which can be very good as well
15:23and you can potentially make a lot doing
15:25it so now that you know a couple
15:26different ways of creating youtube
15:28videos without ever showing your face
15:30check out this video if you want to
15:31discover how to make money on youtube
15:33and how i personally make over a hundred
15:35thousand dollars a month off of youtube
15:37and this method right here doesn't
15:38require you to even show your face so
15:41check out this video right here and i
15:43hope you get a ton of value and i'll see
