6 Steps: How to Create AI Faceless YouTube Videos (The Full Process)

So there are channels right now making over $13,000 from a single video that cost them less than $5 to create. 100% AI-driven channels where the creator doesn’t know how to edit, doesn’t show their face, doesn’t do anything except use modern AI tools. And I’m going to show you the exact process to create videos like this yourself. It’s going to be quick, it’s going to be cheap, and if you’re creative about it, the return on investment is absolutely insane.

The hyper-realistic AI factory process niche is blowing up. Videos showing how everyday products are made are getting millions of views. And with a conservative $3 RPM, which everyone on YouTube knows is very low, a video with a few million views can generate over $10,000. And these videos cost less than $5 to create.

The topics are simple, sometimes even goofy, but people are obsessed with watching these manufacturing processes It’s literally just showing how something goes from raw material to finished product. But it’s working, and it’s working well. why this actually works (and won’t get demonetized)

No, this content will not be demonetized just because it’s AI. It’s quite unique and it provides viewers with an enjoyable experience. This is not AI slop where you just put a single AI image and a voiceover for 3 hours. This is actual transformative content that can be monetized. And if you’re still skeptical about AI content after all the gurus online tell you it can’t be monetized, this is the exact same strategy me and my students are following.

I manage and see hundreds of channels, and they’re making real money with AI content. One student made over $100,000 in just six to seven months posting only AI content.

YouTube is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Even though some channels are getting insane results super fast, this does not mean you will get these results simply because you start a channel.

You need to be realistic since this is a business model overall. But I’m going to show you the full AI creation process without asking for anything in return. Just some free value.

The absolute first step is picking your topic. When it comes to YouTube, you want to go with a proven topic if you’re a beginner since that maximizes your chances of success. For example, in the factory process niche, how popular products are made tends to get way more views than industrial or niche manufacturing processes.

People want to see how Coca-Cola is made, not cement. So if you’re a beginner, you’d preferably proceed with topics that have mass appeal. Now you need to be creative with this as well.

You could create videos about medieval factories or how people made mills in villages during the stone age. You have to be quite creative if you want to succeed on YouTube.

In order to make a factory process video with different scenes, you need the different scenes. And we can use ChatGPT for this. Here’s the prompt you’d use.

You’d just insert your specific product, send the prompt, and you won’t be having to do any thinking of your own. ChatGPT will simply generate all of the prompts for you. What you need to do is just become good at identifying what topics perform well and are appreciated by people on YouTube.

Now you’d copy the first prompt from ChatGPT and head over to Gemini. This is where Google Veo 3 lives. You can generate three videos per day for free on Gemini, which is a good place to start and test the process. With Gemini, you’d choose the video model, create videos 3.1, paste in the prompt, and you can also choose the pro version to get the best possible clip.

Now here’s the very impressive part with AI and why it’s absolutely mind-blowing right now. This tool will generate the video including sound effects. So you do not need to hire someone to do sound design or anything like this.

The video will just be done, or at least your first scene. The generated clips look super realistic with proper sound effects, truck sounds, people talking, everything. Now it’s not the most perfect video ever, so you might want to regenerate stuff a few times to get the best possible clip for the intro. If there’s some minor AI mistake later on in the video, that doesn’t really matter. But if the first video really screams AI, that can put off a few people.

So the first few videos you show would preferably need to be very good. For bulk generation beyond the free tier, there are other platforms that offer Google Veo 3 access at lower costs, but you’ll need to do your own research to find them.

When you have all of your videos generated, or at least a few to show the process, you’d head over to CapCut. It’s a free editing software, very similar to Adobe Premiere Pro but completely free. You can create any project here without having to pay a single dollar.

Just press create new in the top left corner, choose 16:9 in the YouTube format, and you’ll be taken to a timeline. You’d just upload all of your AI-generated videos. The beauty with these videos is although they take a long time to generate, you don’t have to worry about sound design, you don’t have to worry about any editing really, except for just generating the clips. And that’s why it’s also very effective and easy to outsource.

You’d just drag the clips to the timeline, trim them as you want. Generally I’d make them shorter so each clip is like 4 seconds maybe. Super simple, doesn’t require any form of editing skills or anything like this. Once you have your full video done, just export it.

Press download, choose all the best settings, 1080p or 4K if you generated your video in 4K, 60 frames per second, MP4 is always the best format. Press export and it’ll save your video just like that.

Now while the video is exporting, you’ll need a thumbnail. And this is actually very easy to create for this niche as well, it’s going to take just a few minutes. The successful format in this niche is a conveyor belt with the product being processed.

You’d take a screenshot from one of your generated videos where nothing is in the way. Just take a clean image from your video. Then head over to ChatGPT with this prompt.

Upload your screenshot and you’ll get a generated thumbnail. If you tell ChatGPT to copy a thumbnail exactly, it might not perform the task since it goes against policies. But creating a thumbnail in this style does not pose any copyright risk whatsoever on YouTube. You can ask ChatGPT to make it more zoomed out or adjust it however you want. Once you’re happy with it, download the image.

Now head over to Canva, which is a free graphic design software. Create a new project in the top left corner, use the YouTube thumbnail preset. Upload your image and make sure it fits the frame. The successful format in this niche uses a “4K Ultra HD” sticker on the thumbnails. Search for “4K ultra HD” in Canva and you’ll find stickers you can use. Add the sticker to your thumbnail.

If you want to optimize it even more, press on the image, then press edit, and here you can adjust the vibrance, saturation, and brightness. Usually making it pop more with vibrance and saturation is quite good. Then press share, download, PNG works fine, and boom, you have your thumbnail.

Why this business model is insane. The reason I’m showing you this entire process is to get into your head that online business does not have to mean you study something for half a year and become a professional at something. You can literally just utilize these AI tools that you have in front of you, at least with faceless YouTube.

And if you are creative and become good at the skill of ideation and finding out what people want to watch, you could make real money with this. I really don’t know so many other business models where you can spend $5 to $10 to $15 on a video that in the best case scenario can generate you upwards of $15,000. It’s highly unlikely if you’re a beginner, but just knowing that this possibility is out there if you put some effort into it, that’s just insane.

Turning it into a real business with virtual assistant. Now when it comes to turning your YouTube channel into an actual business from being just a one-man army where you’re sitting making these videos yourself, you’ll need to hire something called a virtual assistant. The reason why you don’t need an editor for this kind of channel that is super expensive, you don’t need a script writer, you don’t need any of that, is because the creation process is so simple. We literally broke this down in a single tutorial.

That means if you just compile all of these steps into a very precise and step-by-step instruction, you can hand that over to a virtual assistant that will create the videos for you. The way you find virtual assistants is on a site called Upwork. You just put up a job post looking for a full-time virtual assistant to help with creating and posting content on YouTube. The tasks are just create videos using your tools, upload and schedule the videos, make sure all uploads are correct and organized. There are so many people applying to simple free job posts that just want to charge you $3 per hour, $5 per hour.

Which I’m sure everyone understands is very low. If they can create a single video like this in just a single hour with the right instructions, you’ll basically be getting an automated video for $3 or $6 if it takes them two hours, plus the software costs. Which is quite insane. And that will allow you to upload multiple times per day, compete effectively, and ultimately progress faster.

Upwork doesn’t have to be the only place where you find freelancers either. Fiverr works fine for virtual assistants. You should not be looking for editors on Fiverr because they’re usually just crap.

The barrier to entry is low, but the skill is in finding what people actually want to watch and executing consistently. That’s what separates the videos making $10K from the ones getting 100 views.
