So you want to make money on YouTube, but you don't want to show your face. But you might be wondering, which niche should I choose? You might have seen my videos in the past saying that you can make money on YouTube without making any videos. But you might be wondering which niche or which category of video should I actually do this in? And there's so many different categories out there.
In this video today, I'm going to be going over 10 different profitable YouTube niches that you can do without ever showing your face. And I know that might sound crazy because a lot of people think that in order to make money on YouTube, you need to do things like get behind a camera, like I'm doing right here. But what if I were to tell you that that couldn't be further from the truth?
In fact, I've gotten over a million subscribers on YouTube without ever showing my face on this channel. I've gotten over 100,000 subscribers on this channel and over a hundred thousand subscribers on another channel. And these are all channels without showing my face. So, yes, it's possible.
And in this video today, I'm gonna be going over 10 different niches that you can do to make money on YouTube without ever showing your face. My name is Matt Par. I run nine YouTube channels and make sure to hit that subscribe button so you don't miss out when I come out with regular videos helping you with YouTube.
Niche idea number 10 is the quiz niche. Now, you might have seen videos like this out there on the Internet, or you might have seen quizzes like this on websites like Buzzfeed. Now here's an example channel doing just this called 1 Million Tests. And as you can see on this channel right here, they have over 600,000 subscribers.
They do videos like “What kind of angel are you?”, “Are you an angel or are you a devil?”, “What color is your aura?”, “What does your birth month say about you?”, “What kind of beauty do you have?” Just videos like this that ask you a bunch of fun, interesting questions about yourself. And then at the end, depending on your answers, it reveals what you are.
And there's a ton of channels doing this. One Million Tests is just one of them. And let's take a look at the SocialBlade statistics for this channel. They're getting 5 million views a month on their channel. Between $1,000 and $20,000 a month. I would estimate us around in the middle of their range, around $10,000 to $15,000 a month just from ad revenue if they have their channel monetized.
Take a look at this. They haven't uploaded for 8 months now. What does this tell you? It tells you that this is an incredible niche. Due to the fact that they haven't uploaded for 8 months, yet they're still getting 5 million views a month. This tells you that this is an incredible niche with incredible evergreen opportunity. Meaning that this isn't something where you'll upload a bunch of videos in and they'll fade out. This is something with actual long-term evergreen potential.
So that's a really good sign right there. And another reason why you should maybe consider the quiz niche if you want to make money on YouTube without ever showing your face.
Now here's another channel right here in the quiz niche called Mr. Test. Over half a million subscribers. As you can see, this channel gets 2 million views a month and they're getting 15,000 subscribers a month. And they just do videos like “Mental Age Test”, “Is Your Crush in Love with You?” And just videos like this, these fun, relatable, quirky quizzes that you can answer the questions to, and it'll say something about yourself.
Here's another channel called Buzzmoy, 800,000 subscribers. They are probably about to hit a million subscribers very soon. And if we take a look at their SocialBlade statistics, they're also getting 2 million views a month on their channel. As you can see, they upload videos pretty frequently; a couple videos a week, one to two videos per week on their channel.
Let’s talk about niche idea number 9, which is the luxury slash financial niche. Now here's an example channel in this niche called Mr. Luxury. Very appropriate name. Over 200,000 subscribers.
What’s really interesting is just how quickly this channel grew. This is a fairly new channel, and they've still been able to get over a quarter of a million subscribers very soon. If we take a look at the SocialBlade statistics for this channel, as you can see, they are getting over 4.9 million views a month, as much as $20,000 a month.
I would actually estimate that from these SocialBlade estimates, that is actually on the higher end of this estimate due to the fact that the financial/luxury niche has a lot of advertisers on YouTube that want to advertise on videos like this. Meaning you can expect to make more money per 1000 views.
Now, this isn't to say that you will, but this is in general talking from my experience running channels in niches similar to this. If this channel is monetized, I would guess that they're making on the higher end of those two estimates right there just from ad revenue alone.
Here's another channel in the luxury niche called alux.com, 2.9 million subscribers. They do these same types of videos like “The 10 Most Expensive Watches”, “The 10 Highest Paid Jobs” and just stuff like that. 15 Facts About Elon Musk. And these videos can get a lot of views.
Taking a look at the SocialBlade stats, this channel gets just shy of 10 million views a month. 9.3 million views a month. They could be making as much as $37,000 a month. And like I said, I would guess it's actually on the higher end of those estimates due to the fact that the financial/luxury niche I would personally classify as a high CPM niche.
Niche idea number 8 is the meditation niche. Now, this might come as a shock to a lot of people. It's a very weird niche when you actually think about it on YouTube. But think about it. Have you ever listened to like meditations on YouTube or looked up soothing sounds to help you fall asleep or anything like that? If you have, you're not alone. There are millions of people online who do this.
Here's an example channel that produces these types of videos. It's a guy named Michael Seey, 1.2 million subscribers. And as you can see, he just makes videos like “Guided Meditation for Detachment from Overthinking”, “Thunderstorm and Rain Sounds” for 2 hours and 16 million views on that video right there. Taking a look at the SocialBlade stats, he's getting 5.4 million views a month on his channel.
And he's not the only one producing videos like that. Here's another one called Meditation Relaxed Music, 2.1 million subscribers. They produce these very simple meditation videos. Now, you could always hire someone on Fiverr to make the meditations for you, or you can even make the meditations yourself.
If you have more money than time, then you hire people on Fiverr to make the meditations for you. But if you have more time than money, then you can actually just use a cell phone to record the meditations yourself.
When I started out on YouTube, I would literally just record the voiceover using my phone with my super high-pitched squeaky voice, yet I was still making $9,000 a month. More than my parents, more than my friends. And I'm just saying this not to brag but to show you that it's actually possible to do this.
And I make a lot more now from YouTube using the tactics that I'm showing you on this YouTube channel.
Niche idea number 7 is the technology niche. The technology niche is huge on YouTube, and there's a ton of huge channels in this niche. I'm gonna be showing you one of them called TechZone. As you can see, TechZone's got 2.5 million subscribers.
They just do videos like “Incredible Road Technologies” that are really insane, useful inventions that will take your home to another level. Just showing other people's videos, doing a voiceover on top of these videos, never having to show their face. And take a look at this. This channel is getting 20 million views a month.
As much as $80,000 a month just in ad revenue alone estimated by SocialBlade. I would estimate it's actually towards the higher end of that estimate as well due to the fact that I would classify the technology niche as a high CPM niche.
Meaning that there's a lot of advertisers who want to advertise on technology videos.
Niche idea number 6 is the animal niche. Here's an example channel in the animal niche called Animal Facts with over 126 thousand subscribers. They just do videos like “The Top 10 Small Dog Breeds That Don’t Shed” just a voiceover on top of the video, literally just using other people's clips.
You can get clips used within your videos from places like Pixabay.com and Pexels.com completely free and royalty-free videos and pictures that you can use within your videos, not have to worry about copyright or anything like that.
If we take a look at the SocialBlade statistics for this channel, they're getting 1.7 million views a month on their channel. And another really great opportunity for channels in the animal niche as well is that you could actually promote relevant products from places like Clickbank.com or Digistore24.com in the animal niche.
You could promote these products just by putting a link in your description. In my experience, you'll make a lot more money from affiliate marketing than from YouTube ad revenue. YouTube ad revenue is great, but you can actually make a lot more doing things like affiliate marketing or even selling your own products from your YouTube channel.
Now, affiliate marketing is great because you don't actually have to own a product, but that's just one of the options. Here's another YouTube channel right here called Animal Wise. They do these same types of videos, and some of these videos get a lot of views.
If we take a look at their most popular uploads, as you can see, they're mostly cat videos right here. “7 Mistakes Cat Owners Make”, “Why Does My Cat Sleep With Me?”, “7 Ways to Tell a Dog That You Love Them”. Just videos like this, informative videos, using other people's videos, doing a voiceover on top of these videos.
Niche idea number 5 is the scary story niche. I bet you didn't think of that. Scary stories on YouTube could actually potentially make a lot of money. Now here's a channel called Mr. Nightmare in the scary story niche. If we click to his videos and go to his most popular uploads, they're literally just pictures and videos with a voiceover talking about a scary story on the video.
It doesn't require you to show your face or anything like that. And they just do videos like “The Three Creepy True School Lockdown Stories” and just stuff like that.
Niche idea number 4 is the top ten countdown list niche. I'm sure you've seen videos in the list niche just producing videos like top 10 videos or top five videos and stuff like that.
Here's a great example channel in the list niche called Top 5 Best. 4.6 million subscribers on this channel right here. As you can see, they just upload videos like “The Top 10 Most Insane Water Slides in the World”, 43 million views. If we take a look, this channel is getting 29 million views per month on their channel, which is absolutely insane.
Here's another channel in the list niche called Nuke's Top Fives. His videos get a lot of views. 1 million views, 1 million views, 1 million views. His channel is getting over 16 million views per month.
Here's another channel in the list niche called Top 15s. They just do videos like “The Top 15 Scary Videos That We Were Warned Not to Watch”, “Top 15 Scary Videos That'll Scare You Silly”. And if we take a look at the SocialBlade statistics, they're getting over 7 million views a month on their channel just doing a voiceover, looking at other people's scary story videos.
Niche idea number 3 is the health niche. Here's an example channel in the health niche called Natural Cures with over 3 million subscribers. They just produce videos like “7 Things You Can Do to Lose Weight Naturally”. 11 million views on that video right there.
And these videos get a lot of views like this one. “This is Why You Should Sleep With Garlic Under Your Pillow”, 29 million views. The videos are literally just text on a screen with stock footage and pictures in the background.
Again, you can get completely free pictures and videos to use within your videos from Pixabay.com or Pexels.com and you don't have to worry about attribution or anything like that on most of the content on those websites.
Niche idea number 2 is the psychology niche. Yes, you can actually make money on YouTube in the psychology niche. And there are tons of huge channels doing it. Here's an example channel called Brainy Dose with over a million subscribers. They could have potentially gotten a gold play button from their YouTube channel.
And they just do videos like “Do You Often Wake Up Between 3 and 5 AM? Here's What It Means” or “How to Read Anyone Instantly: 18 Psychological Tips”. Some of these videos get a lot of views. 6.6 million views on that video right there. If we take a look at the SocialBlade statistics, this channel is getting 4.33 million views per month on their channel. Not bad at all for a channel in the psychology niche.
Niche idea number 1 to make money on YouTube without ever showing your face is the life hack niche. Yes, you can actually make money recording yourself doing life hacks, never even having to show your face. You can simply angle a camera up above you and just perform different life hacks, literally just showing your hands.
Get a bright colored background from either Walmart or Dollar Tree or just buy it online from Amazon and you can record yourself doing life hacks without ever showing your face, just showing your hands or getting someone else to produce the videos for you.
Here's an example channel doing just this called Five Minute Crafts. As you can see, they have 66 million subscribers on their channel. If we take a look at the SocialBlade statistics, they are getting a whopping 197 million views a month.
As much as $15 million a year. I would estimate about $7 million a year just from ad revenue alone on their channel. Not bad at all. They are obviously killing it. And they just do videos like “The 42 Holy Grail Life Hacks That Will Save You a Fortune”.

I want to do the animal niche, but I want to make sure I do it the right way. So let me ask you a question.
