Faceless videos still work really great for me on my second channel. I mean, I am just small content creator and I work really hard (I also use a little bit of fame ster, but that's a necessity nowadays). I just give all my videos small initial boost, and that caused them to spread literally everywhere, bringing more and more organic views day after day.
which platform do you boost these videos on?
Starting was absolutely the hardest part. It took me 4 years to finally start after so many excuses! It's been a few months and I'm so glad I finally got going. Your channel has helped simplify SO many aspects and is making the journey much more manageable. I wish I started sooner! Thank you for helping everyone with awesome content like this đ
Thanks for sharing!!
Same it took me forever to start my channel but very happy I did đ
Cool channel bro!
@@craith Thanks!
help supprot my
I met the monetization requirements today, in less than 5 months. There is no face or commentary, just skill and hard work. Everything is possible.
Great I'm heading to monetization too, my four months old channel, has got 3k watch time and 10 million shorts view, congratulations đ
Congrats, btw did you got accepted into YPP? since some channels without face and voice won't be monetize
@@axl2858 Yes i am. I believe the issue is that unoriginal content will not be accepted.
Your the only reason I have faith in my channelđ
I don't đđđ
I Do

You'd be surprised how much people who run a faceless CZcams channel use Famester to boost their content.
@Boru Famester
@@GlobeFreaks How do I use a search engine to find Famester?
Man, I feel like without showing your face is harder to gain subs, so respect to those who go big without there face or voice, itâs crazy. And I know you can all do it! Your channel canât get much worst than it is, only better!
You are right, my channel is faceless and it has not been easy to get subscribers, it requires more work. I pushed so hard to get to 300subs now
@@splendytactics well i went from happy to sad in two minutes đ i hope people can get past the faceless cuz Iâll never get monetized at this point đź
You don't need to show your face to gain subscribers and views. People go on CZcams for videos not to see someone's face.
@@Austinredstoner true, but showing your face is a way to Interact with the viewer in a way, all Iâm saying is that itâs prolly harder
@@Austinredstoner I hope that is true. I mean it is for me I watch videos for content not to see anybody.
Took over 10 years before starting this channel.. 1 laziness and procrastination, 2 I had no real desire to be on camera, and 3 I didn't want to turn a fun hobby into another "job". Cheers vidIQ for your help and guidance!
That's mostly me as well! I don't feel confident showing myself on camera and I feel lazy and procrastinate in making videos, especially constant uploads. But I'm trying to do this again, and I'm sure you can too, my friend!
Totally Tweek, best way is to just jump straight in the deep end!
Aha over ten years for me too, good luck !
The only good thing about waiting so long is I had time (and a lot of it) to dream up ideas and really lock down what direction I wanted to follow.. best of luck to you too, blod!
@@rc.remedy your channel is 10 years ago look in your channel about page it literally says it right in front of you.
For years, I just never started a channel because I never had an idea of what I wanted to do, but when Rings of Power came out. I made the plunge and met some great people who I do a live stream with every Saturday and I don't regret it one single bit. I also found out I am surprisingly very comfortable with giving commentary so that's how I found that inspiration. For those who still haven't taken the plunge: find something you're passionate about, and try everything. You can be a commentary change about anythingl without ever showing your face, but know you'll have to work extra hard to fill in those gaps in your video footage that would've been easy to cover with camera footage. I do it and it isn't hard, but it took constant trial and error to finally get it. Also, get good at writing good scripts, summarizing what you're commentating about so you don't drag a conversation too long that your audience will disengage. Again, that depends on your audience and what content you eventually acclimate them to. All in all, take the plunge.
Your channel is over 9 years old.
Im so happy to see this video. My channel is faceless. Its a coastal decor site and i dont feel i need to be in it. Sometimes a film after work or times where Iâm not like presentable and itâs just so much easier to keep me out of it instead of having to dress up , put make up on and just look camera ready all the time.
I started my (mostly) faceless channel as a way to just get used to CZcams and understand how it works without having my face all over the Internet, and now I actually want to see how far I can go without being on camera full time - I use a lot of props, photos, and extra footage to get things done, and I focus on my voice, editing and scripting to make sure that the listeners get the non-verbal clues they're missing that way. It's totally possible, and makes you think creatively! Glad to see this video from vidIQ, it's a great morale boost đ
Iâm one of those people it really gets easier over time itâs given me more confidence in myself that anxiety fear and being afraid of people judging the way I look has lessened a lot itâs one of those things it sounds scarier than it actually is if you make good content people donât really care what you look like or are going to make a massive deal out of it it was much worse in my head than it actually is
I totally agree! It does get easier over time and with more practice. I've also noticed that the anxiety and fear reduces with each video. And for some, maybe it won't completely go away, but I think it'll at least get a little more comfortable each time.
Yes Iâm 100% the same đ
yeah its true... at first i was too afraid but as it continuous the anxiety i fell lessens .Conquering your fear in front of the camera and gaining your self confidence is a great reward
Started my channel 9days ago and its growing gradually, wish I started earlier but its better late than never. your channel is helping in the journey...Kudos.
Started my channel a few weeks ago. Really enjoy learning to get to know the basics of editing and stuff and trying to grow a small community at the same time.
Hope all of you guys succeed on your YT journey!
*VTubers don't show their face and many are very successful with gaining subscribers, views, and getting recommended.*
FOR REAL BRUH
Yes I'm wanting to be one and a streamer but I'm starting off as a streamer
Just like dream one of the best youtubers eve
Best ever

Another idea that I use:
I use a sort of semi-animated avatar with sprites instead of my face and that works really well for me. It also functions as a recognizable face that can emote too.
Any spesific app you can recommend on how you create the semi-animated avatar?
@@PakLong_MY Unless you are in my niche or potentially want an animal for an avatar, I cannot.
My current sprites were actually created by a fan. He actually made them for me as a surprise, I had no idea and didn't even ask for them!
I cover My Little Pony and was originally using sprites from a fan made game called "Pony Town." It allows for insane levels of customization when creating your character, but you can't make a human avatar if that's what you want.
If you want some sort of animal as your avatar however, you could potentially still use this site. It's not just limited to ponies, you can create deer, griffons, dogs, dragons, and several other things.
The sprites are pixelated, but they still look _really_ good! It is also free to use.
@@Star_Strike hello! What is the name of the site?
The thing is, for channels that focus mainly on a niche like mine, I was afraid that people with a greater expertise than me would criticise what I do as I'm yet to know fully the depth of my topic (minecraft redstone). It is quite complex.
It took me a while to overcome that but I do still have the fear of a bigger name redstoner calling me out for something I didn't know existed and could make things a lot better. Not just my niche, plenty of other niches face this fear but I say, if your passionate for your topic, say what you think is right because people can only judge you on what you know, and not what you dont.
You have a epic channel and its quite obvious that you put immense effort into every video, but as a shorts Minecraft creator who started only a month ago
I CAN ASSURE YOU
if you utilize shorts properly, with the amount of effort you put into your vids you would've easily surpassed 10k subs by now
the only reason you arent getting tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands from shorts is because your shorts arent optimized for shorts viewers, the title and description follows more long form content formula than short form, and the video length is too long
if you utilize shorts properly you can get tens of thousands of views every single upload and from tens to hundreds of subs per short and if you like any help you can always just reply to my comment and i can reach out and help you
@@InfinityDargon3000 Thanks for the encouragement! You have a great point with shorts and I've seen a lot of people thrive off it (including you!) I actually have been thinking a lot about it now that you can 'clip' longer videos into shorter format ones which I thought I would start to do with my next few videos to see how it goes.
But it's all about the transition from shorts to long form content and that, if you get a viral video will they all convert to loyal subscribers? Will they come back? Will they like the rest of the content on my channel?
I hope youtube makes the transition even better in the future as shorts and long form content still seem separated but it's long form content that I'm the most experienced in!
But I'll take you advice and I'll try to make shorts that 'entertain' more than act as a tutorial (which I've tried to do) and hopefully they will yield better results!
It's good to see an outside viewers pov on these things so I get to know what I'm lacking, thanks again! Btw good luck with your channel too đ maybe I'll next check and you'll have your next milestone!
@@TheGoldenDragonmc Thank you so much, and don't worry about what the big creators think because I study about 25-50 big and small shorts creators and almost 100% of the time the content by the big and small creators are inspired by each other.
The big boys never judge the small creators unless you are reamking the same videos as them, same camera angles, same thumbnails, etc.
They will always always always support smaller creators
PLUS the only way to get better is if you keeping make more content
@@TheGoldenDragonmc clipping long form content will work when you are a more established creator but as a small creator i think you wanna take your raw footage you used for long form and simply re edit it to be about 30 seconds whilst using popular music and optimized titles
I dont consider myself photogenic but I still know the value of putting a face in front of content. It created familiarity and proves that one stands behind what He says. đ
For me it is the consistency of uploading, I really need more ideas when it comes to video creation
Some of these ideas like the (meditation) channel used to work years ago. However CZcams is really cracking down on channels like this due to repetitive content policy. You'll get the views but when it comes time to monetize you'll get denied.
I started my mine recently and put my first video out. Itâs a long process to do faceless but itâs worth the effort. I can see how my editing skills have improved already (I have 10 videos scheduled).
My first channel had my face but after i gave up and did this channel instead I really thought of the future of the channel before I started. I do animations so it really doesn't need my face... plus a bonus of not showing a face is I can easily outsource the work to other animators. When your the face of the channel its hard to step back from the channel because your fans wont really wanna watch anyone else beside you. As a faceless channel they just want the content so you can step back or get help anytime
Thank you so much. I am Still Struggling to get two subscribers!!
For me being on camera is one of many reasons I also care too much about people judging my looks my voice and I also fear of making mistakes đđđ
Same here. But then again I say those who get in front of the camera (no matter the looks) have balls of steel compared to 99.999% of others.
It took me 4 years to get over being in front of the camera. That's one of the reasons I never started! I was absolutely terrified and anxious about it. I finally got over most of it, but it took a lot of mental energy to get there đ I'm also afraid of making mistakes, but doing more takes and editing helps fix that issue!
Have a channel but I can't even speak English propaly but I am pushing đ€Łđ€Ł
Same here đ€Ł
@@ArniesTech how about an IRON Will đȘđȘđȘ. You can do anything. Believe, have faith, persevere, anything is POSSIBLE. Whatever you want is beyond fear. You can do anything đđ
Whoever is reading DONT give up on your channel. Think about all the hard work that you have already put in. Every youtuber was once in your spot they just kept going. Stay consistent and you will reach your goals. consistent uploads and improvement and some determination is all you need! I am going for 275 subs by the end of November!!!
I'm just now getting into the habit of not tripping up on my words, and getting comfortable with my image on camera. Sometimes (me included) I feel that people worry too much about how they look or sound on camera. my advice would be: Just go for it and have fun!
You have such great energy and can tell you're getting more comfortable on camera - keep it up!
@@BrickedtoPerfection thank you!
Letâs people judge and just ignore đ
Iâm still kind of choking on my words but I know over time itâll get better
@@kelsey_K it's okay. Practice in the mirror or use the short camera and delete it. Practice, practice and don't ever stop , if I can do it YOU can do it too. Have faith in yourself , you've got this đ
I started my channel this year and it's mostly without showing face. Tons of respect for the creator space it is tough and super awarding!
I started with my daughter as a way to teach her about responsible Internet Usage and Hardwork. My career life gave me the skills to handle the technical side. Rest is history, it's become a major part of my life.
I originally started faceless and voiceless bit I realized that the channels I watched with similar content were more interesting when the people behind the camera were known to me and I came to enjoy their personality. I got over the fear of negative comments and it's been very positive so far.
One thing I still can't get over is talking to the camera when people are around. It feels awkward but I'll have to get over it at some point because it's not always possible to record in public without someone present.
I took 2 years of procrastinating and learning until I started my channel. As a video essayist, there were many options on how to go about it, but ultimately I found with any channel in a certain community, you have to be truly passionate at it. You have passion and well-placed progress, you'll find yourself going places. I believe in you guys! vidIQ helped me a TON.
Keep spirit...
I know this is old but youâve been killing it! Great view counts!
Being on camera for sure scares me! I've started this channel for practice, but I'd love to branch out. Thanks for the ideas!
Pet channels are another great example. I tend to show my hands, occasionally the back or side of my face but primarily I focus on my mice and include commentary or music đ
Thank you so much! Iâm not too camera shy, I simply like to keep my identity generally hidden from my vids and I do tutorials that I feel donât need my face.
Watching is fun, Starting a channel is depressing đ (Personal Experience)
Well, IÂŽve had an idea to start my own YT channel for more than 5 years. Somewhere around 2017 came to my mind idea to start YT channel for the first time but I almost absolutely didnÂŽt know how to start because everything seemed too hard to do in just one person. So for some time I just had this wish to start a YT channel but without showing my face. And suddenly I found out that DIY and cooking videos have a huge success and wanted to start one of them. I thought that it should be easy to make this type of content, so I bought the necessary equipment like a camera, lights with softboxes, and different tools and started filming the first videos. Unluckily, IÂŽve never edited and released them because during the process of creation of these videos I found out that I needed much more equipment and tools than I expected. To make it clear, I had just basic equipment but in the process of filming I found out that it was not enough to make those cooking and DIY videos on a professional level and at least twice a week. So I quit because I felt so exhausted from constantly finding and buying appropriate accessories without them I couldnÂŽt complete those videos as I wanted. I realized that this is not a niche I can make videos just by myself and slowly started thinking about a niche where the necessity of almost constantly finding appropriate specific equipment and tools wouldnÂŽt restrain me from making videos on regular basis. At that time I was a freelancer in the field of online marketing and earned money I invested in different types of assets. IÂŽve already experienced several successes, so I realized that this would be a good topic on which I could make videos. So now IÂŽm preparing a batch of the first 13 videos in this niche and somewhere about the start of December IÂŽm going to post the first of them on this channel. Yeah, I have to appear in those videos personally but I realized that it will be the best way to make content on regular basis. The major thing I need for the creation of this type of content is my knowledge of investing and business, not specific food or equipment like those cooking and DIY videos required. :)
I donât like being so much on camera, and I had found a Korean woman who makes awesome daily vlogs without even showing her face, and that motivated me starting my own channel, itâs hard working but I m enjoying what Iâm making and that the most important to me â€
I wear a bucket to hide my face, quite unique! đ
art commentary and speed paints with just music or talk also don't have to have your face. they are nice to and they can include fandom art and ocs. it can be mixed with animation on the same channel if you want as well
I'm actually doing a gardening channel without showing my face. I've had some experience with CZcams before, but it's been a while starting from 0. I'll see how it goes, and if I get used to the idea, whoknows, my face might pop in!
Thats what I have been doing since I started my channel! Thanks!
Takes time to get comfortable on camera. Not because of being shy, but moreso because of getting used to talking into a camera without someone else being behind that camera filming it đ, like I've noticed I don't mind filming myself with my drone or having friends film me but as soon as it's just me and a camera and the game I'm playing I get awkward lol
Cheers for the info as always, should be helpful to a lot of people hesitating to start channels đđż
i have this same issue.
One way I get around it, is by shooting off random comments or speaking to the camera what is on my my mind and then splicing that in to the edit.
Talking to a camera still feels awkward even after a year for me.
@@retro-af yea its a bit weird its like pretending to be talking to someone in an empty room like a mentally ill person
I have been a Footballer (stopped playing since I started 9-5 job) and a huge Manchester United fan since 2010. Due to my introvert personality, I never had enough friends or friends with similar interests to share my thoughts and get into football talks. Thus, now I decided to create a channel for Manchester United fans and share my thoughts in form of videos, hoping to create new like-minded friends and have never ending discussions with them!
I've been wanting to continue my gaming channel. However, I wasn't proud of my first video and I thought I would eventually have to show my face. Thank you for the video it really helped!
Iâm a faceless channel. Nice to see you representing.
The last option, the most difficult imo, is making your own animated character to use instead of your face. There's also purposefully hiding your face in the shot with lighting or a costume, like Todd in the Shadows.
Or just use a mask ig
thank you, my channel is pretty big right now so thank you for that
What was stopping me was the fear of failure, but I'm over n been posting daily for over a month straight. Seeing results because of channels like this
I'm a new CZcams content creator. It can be hard and overwhelming at times but we will get to our destination. Keep going!
Got 550 subs in 2 months with no cam! I streamed for a year or 2 on twitch. The camera factor always put me off a bit, so I never did it full time. Now I'm doing a random gaming niche on YT with no cam and am getting great results. But being able to have game footage I can talk through as I'm playing helps a ton as well.
I Never thought of doing a lot of the things suggested here and will be trying some when I move away from full time gaming possibly in the future
Some amazing tips man! keep up the good work
Thank you,it's actually very hard to start a channel without showing your face,and also I'm a new subscriber to your channelđ
I'm one of those creators, I don't show my face and I'm not planing to do it soon, my animated characters do that for me. đ
From experience I know there's tons of options for channels that don't have your face. I know, I'm talking from a 700+ channel, but my IRL work is narrating. I have done gameplay, review, cooking, tutorial, business presentation, educational, animation and so on. Plus I also work doing editing (narrating jobs are hard to get haha) and the same applies. I would say that besides some cooking, music and tourism channels, I never see the person's face.
5-minute craft is a monster, but lots of their "crafts" are useless, however they do make it very entertaining to watch. That's a great formula.
I want to do street interviews and create wholesome content with strangers but the thought of approaching strangers terrifies me. Its not like I haven't tried, I did try to overcome this but approaching strangers on the streets and asking them to be a part of my video seems like the hardest thing ever. I know it'd be easier if I had someone with me but unfortunately the people around me are flaky and I can't get anyone to help me out with the videos.
Way ahead of you buddy.
Ahh You Always Help Your Subscribers Tysm For Telling Us so much đŒâ€ïž
Animation was on here! Yay!!
Also thanks VidIQ, your videos have helped me a lot!! đ
THANKS VidIQ! I installed your extension and it got me gaining a whole lot this past week!
I'm really shy to where I don't even like speaking on a microphone.
same, but only for the first few mins
You can use an AI voice
Wow beautiful ideas to start a CZcams channel. Many thanks đđ
If you do Tutorial videos i recommended condensing them as the biggest compliment I often get is to do with how quick to the point I am which has helped those videos continue to grow
although i donât mind being on camera, and plan on it eventually, my channel doesnât involve my face and iâve seen some great growth!
Thanks Need this for my chanel!
This was really interesting! We're a faceless channel that covers movie stuff, but it really is harder to do stuff when you don't have a face, as people sometimes assume you have something to hide. But we went with it because our mother said don't show your face lol
I use a camera to film my content (sometimes), but I don't usually use my face. Instead, I use a character I drew.
It took me a while to start a channel because I didn't even have a laptop so I couldn't edit. I was also very nervous about talking in a vid (still like that but working on it).
Thanks for the videoâ„started channel few months ago...
That was amazing! Thank you!
I really want try mmaking youtubevideos without showing my face like gaming videos or animations, thank you for this video guide, you're awesome guy. đ„đ„
I just started a cooking channel doing exactly this, so it was good seeing it on the list! đ
Appreciated đ
The first steps are the hardest :( I hope that everyone who sees this message will get their dream channel :D Don't give up!
Shut up
EXCELLENT LEARNING, I MADE MY CHANNEL JUST 1 WEEK AGO AND I WILL NOT GIVE UP, ALWAYS LEARNING AND STUDYING TO BE ABLE TO GIVE A BETTER LIFE TO THE FAMILY. THANKS
I started my channel after watching tons of silent vlog, I mean faceless silent vlog. I got inspired by it and wanted to share my interest. And I did it! Its not easy, slowly but surely.
I just started my channel about technology and i hope i will succeed in this. Thanks !
My own channel is a pretty good example of a gaming channel where I almost never show myself on camera. I find it incredibly distracting to play a game while I am being filmed directly so never normally do this and just do commentary instead
Greatest tutorial dearest friend đđ»ââïž
Just start!!!! Learn and grow!!! đ đȘ
Exactly what I've been trying to do, and enjoying the process so far!
i started a faceless channel its all about travel and its really doing great and still growing
While some of my videos are on serious topics, I'm able to bring some light hearted humor into them, all without showing my face, but using text, clips etc . However, some of my subs keep asking me to do live videos either by myself, which would be impossible for how I do my videos, or to join others in their live videos within my niche, but that would most likely be strange as I'd be the only one using a static photograph for me. Strangely, I can get up on stage sing, dance and act but I can't do that kind of thing when it comes to my CZcams channel!
Love it!
I really want to start a channel and this helped me a lot..
I donât show my face on my channel, but use my own footage and do the voice over :) Iâve currently got 5k subs and had a short that got over 1.6million views!
Good ideas đ you can do it guys just start somewhere â
Tanks you so much for sharing video information đâ„ïž
thanks i made one yesterday!
Finally the video I need been doing YT for 6 yrs and I want to be mostly faceless
Instant Subscription!
Thank You very much đ„
Best thing I did was to be an anonymous creator. No shyness or camera awkwardness, never being approached by strangers on the streets. Peace of mind đ
Just coming up with a niche. I find it hard to come up with content and support that content for years to come. I'm a retired SGT Major from the US Army. I have no problem being in front of a camera. When I played pool on a pro level I was on TV local in that area. Pool was more than a few decades ago. Ill think of something someday before I'm dead.
Very informative video. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful day. Happy Thursday!! đ€đ
Wow very helpful video. Thanks đđ
I just started my new channel and I keep watching your videos to grow my channel more thanks for that â€ïž
Thanks for so many great ideas to improve my channel đ
Is a hard challenge but if you don't do it someone else will. So, just have fun while create videos, and don't think on the numbers at the start ;)! Good luck to anyone reading this :33!
I have shown my face on my first video
@@Tommys_adventures56 and how is work all for you ?
this is really helpful thank you very much
Great idea's thanks for sharing. Hello.
This is a great subject because I don't prefer being on camera. I have been able to stream live technical analysis charts for people interested in watching price movements. The people enjoy watching and listening to the music that plays on the screen. Great video thanks again , always looking at my vidIQ tool at the top of my screen~
I made a lot of videos where I show my face, but most of those do not get a lot of views because they are too long, unless they are about Higglytown Heroes. Once I learned how to download and borrow clips, I knew how to make other videos showing funny clips from Amphibia where I never showed my face, either as a compilation of different things in Amphibia or ones where I narrate my own commentary over them. I am also good at making videos with a middle ground that show me part of the time, but also show interesting clips and images on the subject I am discussing so viewers do not get bored.
