I created a FREE YouTube checklist to help out as well – https://shellyhopkins.com/100k-youtube

#1: Animation

An animator is an artist who merges lots of images to create a mirage of a movement called animation when displayed in rapid sequence.

You can create animated videos using already made templates and characters for your YouTube channel using Animaker.

Animaker is a do-it-yourself online software that can be used in creating and editing animations. The software will teach you and show you how to make animations.

Plus, they have a YouTube Channel where they post videos on how to make animations using animation.

You can add music or voice over to your animation videos. You can also hire a freelancer from Fiverr to help you do it.

If you don’t want to pay for creating animation videos, there are other things you can do. For example, Angry Prash (an Indian YouTuber) started a YouTube channel with an image he created on MS paint and now he has 2million+ subscribers.

As an animator, you can make up to 500 dollars per month.

#2: Tech

You can start a YouTube channel where you talk about tech products or information about technology.

An example of a tech channel is Insane Curiosity. Insane Curiosity aims to explain tech news, advice, pieces of information, and experiences. Their videos mostly come with voiceovers and video clips.

Starting a tech YouTube channel without showing your face, you can get video clips from tech companies by asking them. Most of them will grant your wish because it gives them free advertisement while helping your YouTube channel grow to make a win-win scenario.

Some Tech YouTubers make around $2000 per month with AdSense only. You can also earn money with affiliate marketing (by promoting other products in your videos) to make extra money that way.

#3: Product Reviews & DIY Products

This is another amazing idea for running a YouTube channel without having to show your face.

You can create videos reviewing products while showing the product in your hands or just showing the product. This does not require showing our face, just your hands.

An example of this kind of YouTube channel is Hacktuber. Hack Tuber has 1.4 million subscribers and over 250 million views.

This channel is mostly about hacks, how to’s, and random videos. In his videos, you just see his hand and you don’t see his face because he is doing things just with his hands. You can make around 5000 dollars per month with this idea.

#4: Statistics

You can create videos showing statistics on various topics such as countries, football, music, and so on.

An example of this kind of YouTube channel is Global Stats. This channel is starting to get popular and has about 10 thousand subscribers with about 15 – 60 thousand views on a video.

Their videos are always exciting to watch, and you can earn up to $5000 per month with this kind of YouTube channel.

#5: Lifehack

With this kind of YouTube channel, you simply create videos for solving life problems.

An example of this YouTube channel is 5 Minutes Crafts. 5 minutes craft has over 70 million subscribers and most of its videos have over 1 million views without them having to show their face.

#6: Meditation

Some YouTubers have channels where they create meditation videos. An example of this channel is Soothing Relaxation. On this channel, you can find motivational and inspirational videos that help you relax and meditate.

Soothing Relaxation has about 6 million subscribers, and their videos are made up of video clips and music. You could easily go on Fiverr and pay someone to do it for you.

And if you wanted to create such videos by yourself, you could go to Pixabay, Pexels, or Envato elements.

There, you can get music and pictures for your videos at the same place. You can create videos for your mediation channel yourself for free if you want to or you could outsource it and just pay someone on Fiverr.

#7: Financial

These kinds of YouTube channels talk about how the financial market and economy works.

An example is Wealth Hacker. Wealth Hacker is a channel owned by Jeff Rose that teaches you new ways of growing wealth. You’re probably thinking or asking yourself if his face will probably appear in the video.

Yes, he does, but you could also create this kind of YouTube channel without showing your face with research.

When he puts out a video titled “How I built seven streams of income” for instance, you could do research on seven streams of income (or pay someone to look it up) and then create a video with just video slides or pictures and have a voice-over.

Also on his channel, you could find a video of how to invest $1000. Research investing and make a video using pictures or video clips.

#8: Luxury

This YouTube channel focuses on premium and luxurious products. An example is Mr. Luxury. Mr. Luxury has about 500 thousand subscribers.

Since the videos are just pictures, video clips, and music, you can outsource them to Fiverr or do it yourself. Get the clips together on Pexels or Pixabay which is free to use. And you can also use Envato elements which aren’t free but it’s affordable to get music and put everything together.

There’s a way you could do it all for nothing if you wanted to or easily hire a freelancer for it. With this YouTube channel, you can earn around $1000 per month which is pretty decent.
