Why “Faceless” Works
Voiceover + visuals = scale. No camera anxiety, easier outsourcing, faster publishing.
Channel Ideas
- Listicles in your niche (apps, tools, books)
- How-to screen tutorials (software, spreadsheets, AI prompts)
- Explainer animations (simple slides + B-roll)
- Stock market or finance news recaps (focus on clarity, not hype)
- Mystery/history summaries (public-domain images + voice)
Minimal Gear
- Mic: USB microphone options
- Headphones: Closed-back headphones
- Lighting (if you film hands/desktop): Desk ring lights
- External SSD (fast edits): Portable SSDs
Publishing Workflow
Write 6 bullet points → record 90–180s voiceover → add 6–12 supporting clips/images → export at 1080p → title with one main keyword (“How to [result] in Google Sheets”).
Monetization
- YouTube Partner Program (when eligible)
- Affiliate links to gear you actually use:
mics,
webcams,
lights - Digital downloads (templates, checklists)
Tip: Batch 4 scripts every Sunday, record on Monday, schedule uploads for the week.
