YouTube is a fantastic way to make money online and a great way to earn from the platform is by making videos where you do not even need to show your face.
A lot of people get a bit edgy when it comes to being on camera, I get that it is totally normal.
But the great thing about YouTube is you can create videos that can get tons of views where you do not even need to show your face at all.
Here are a few examples of videos you can make without showing your face:
- Calming meditation music videos (Using royalty free music and images)
- Explainer videos
- Quizzes
- Unboxing
- Art tutorials
- Find the letter, puzzles with timers
- Plus tons more….
The great thing about these types of videos is once you have a system in place then you can rinse and repeat these until your channel grows nicely.
In order to qualify for monetisation on YouTube’s advertising partner program you need 4000 hours watch time and 1000 subscribers.
But, don’t let that stop you from running affiliate campaigns from day one on your channel. You can always include a link in your description to offers, landing pages or other videos.
There is nothing stopping you from doing that straight away.
Here is a video where I show clearly a few examples of channels making massive money and none of them have people who show their face.
As you can see plenty of options.
If you want to check out other channels that are not showing people’s faces and what their potential earnings are then head over to Social Blade and enter in the channel name and it will give you a ton of statistics on the channel and how much they earn in advertising revenue.
Here is an example of the channel Meditation Relax Music

As you can see here estimated monthly earnings of around £20,000 from ad revenue.
Remember, these earnings do not include what these channels can earn from affiliate products or maybe the channel is growing an email list that they can then promote to for the life time of the subscriber.
While on the subject of affiliate products, unboxing videos are great for this. Maybe you could set up a tech channel and do unboxing of various bits of tech. People love this and its great for the search engines to rank for.
These are perfect to add an Amazon affiliate link in for example.
Andi and I spoke about these channels too on a recent episode of the Freedom Hustles Podcast
It’s available on all the podcast platforms but if you want to check out the YouTube version you can do so here.
So, there you go.
I think you will agree that there are many ways to create profitable YouTube channels without showing your face if you don’t want to.
This is just one of many ways in which you can earn a living online and one that can grow exponetially if you really focus and put the effort in with it!
