10 Awesome YouTube Channel Ideas for Making Money

I’ll give you ten video ideas to use on your YouTube channel in this article. So, even if you don’t want to put your face out there just yet, let me help you get some video content made.

Without revealing your face, here are ten video ideas.

1. Unboxing or Demonstrating Products

Simply point your camera at your hands or take an angle shot of the product from above.

You could unbox your brand new camera, iPhone, or whatever the topic of your channel is. While holding the camera in your hands, you can talk about the product.

You can also give these items a rating. So you could show how you use your iPhone, or whatever product you’re reviewing, and explain why you think it’s good or bad.

FunToys Collector Disney Toys Review is an example of a YouTube channel that excels at this. They have over 11 million subscribers and do toy reviews without showing their faces.

2. Point of View

This is a common use for GoPro cameras and similar products. Without having to show your face, this method is a fantastic and sometimes mind-blowing way to create viral videos.

You can get some incredible footage to share on your Youtube channel if you’re a travel vlogger, adventurer, or lifestyle vlogger because you’re doing a lot of cool things, and the rest of the world wants to see what you’re up to because they’re probably stuck at home.

3. Screen captures

Screen recordings can be used to demonstrate a process or demonstrate how to use specific software, as well as to demonstrate what it’s like to sign up for and work with you.

You can simply record your screen and talk into a microphone while showing people how to do something on the computer using software like Camtasia or ScreenFlow for Macs.

4. Videos of game play

Gameplay videos are similar to screen recordings, but because gaming is one of YouTube’s most popular niches, we thought it deserved its own section.

Many successful YouTubers got their start by streaming games and making gameplay videos. MrBeast and Pewdipie both started out as gamers on YouTube, and Pewdipie has the most subscribers.

5. In-depth interviews

While you’re not on camera, conduct an interview with someone else. If you talk about a subject on your YouTube channel, finding others who are knowledgeable about it and interviewing them can be beneficial. Asking them questions that will improve the value of your channel is a good idea because they may have more experience than you.

6. How-tos or tutorials

If you’re teaching people how to cook, bullet journal, or plan, or if you’re a DIY channel, you can simply show your hands in these videos. To keep people from seeing your face, all you have to do is show your hands.

5-Minute Crafts is a YouTube channel with a lot of how-to videos that has a lot of success.

7. Video Slideshow

If you really want to teach people something, a strategy, or anything else that you can walk them through step-by-step, this is a great option. Use stock photos or create slideshows with photos of your process to accomplish this.

If you’ve ever attended a webinar or live training, you’ll notice that many instructors use this method of teaching. You don’t even have to show your face; they will hear and learn from you, so your authority and credibility will be established.

8. Photo and Stock Video Videos

So, using stock photos and stock videos, you can either walk through a process or talk through a storey you want to share.

You can find free stock photos and videos that fit your brand on a variety of websites. So, even though you’re telling your storey, you’ve got this YouTube video to keep people interested.

You should avoid using static images because no one will stay for long. They’ll most likely become bored. Using stock photos and videos, even if it’s just your voice, keeps people interested and allows them to connect with you.

9. Whiteboard or Doodle Video

In this type of video, you can write things out as you explain them, so your camera is actually showing the whiteboard, whether it’s hung on the wall or flat on your desk, and it’s shot from above.

While talking about it, you could use your doodles and whiteboard drawing to walk through your steps, how-to, or whatever else you want to share. There are plenty of successful YouTube channels dedicated solely to whiteboard videos, so it’s not impossible.

10. Animations

Animations can be a fun way to get your message across in a video. CGP Grey is an example of a 4 million-subscriber animation YouTube channel. Although the animations are simple, they would necessitate a significant amount of animation expertise to create them on your own.

Using Fiverr to hire someone to make the animations could be an alternative to doing it yourself. If you have the funds, this could be a good way to get your videos onto YouTube.

Is it possible to make money on YouTube without having to show your face?

This is a common question from creators who don’t want to show their faces on YouTube.

YouTube has become stricter in recent years about which channels can be monetized with Adsense. You must have 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 public watch hours in the previous 12 months to be eligible, as well as be in good standing with YouTube.

So, even if you don’t show your face, you can monetize your YouTube channel with a little effort. However, instead of using a computer-generated voice, you must use a real voice in your videos.

Once you’re more comfortable with making videos and have a large number of followers, you can always switch to showing your face.
