How to Start a Faceless History Channel (And Make $5,000+/Month)

 

Let me tell you about a crazysuccessful YouTube channel. They posted their first video just one year ago. Only eight videos total. But they've gotten over 12 million views. That's more than $5,000 every month  all from talking about history without ever showing their face. 

The best part? You can do this too. I'll show you exactly how  step by step. No fancy equipment needed. Just some free tools and about 30 minutes per video. 

Here's what we'll cover: 

1. Finding viral history topics (the easy way) 

2. Creating professional scripts in 2 minutes 

3. Getting amazing voiceovers for free 

4. Making moving historical images (no drawing skills) 

5. Editing it all together simply 

 

I'll even show you a video I made using this exact method. Keep reading  this could change everything for you. 

 

Step 1: Finding Video Ideas That Get Views 

 

You don't need to be a history expert. Just use this trick: 

 

1. Open ChatGPT (the free version works fine) 

2. Type: "Give me history YouTube video ideas like 'The Entire History of _____'" 

3. Hit enter 

 

It will spit out gold like: 

      i.            The Entire History of Ancient Egypt 

   ii.            How Humans Conquered the World 

iii.            The Secret History of Pirates 

 

Pro Tip: If you don't like the first ideas, just type "Give me 10 more". The algorithm loves these "complete history" style videos. 

 

Step 2: Writing the Script (2 Minutes Flat)

 

Taking your topic (we will use "Human Civilization") and tell ChatGPT the following:

"Act as a YouTube script writer. Write a 10minute engaging script about the entire history of human civilization. Use storytelling, make it exciting, and write at a medium speaking rate.

Boom, you have got a script. But do this one thing to make it a better product.

Once ChatGPT gives you the script, type in:

"Extract just the narration parts"

That will remove all stage directions and leave you with the clean text you need for the voiceover.

 

Step 3: Getting a Professional Voiceover

 

Go to ElevenLabs (free version will do). Here is how to generate the perfect voice:

1. Click on "Voices" and then "Library"

2. Filter for:

    Male/Female (your preference)

    Middleaged

    English (American).

3. Listen to samples and choose the one that sounds most like a documentary narrator.

 

Secret trick: Before generating the voiceover:

i. Remove some of the space between words

ii. Put in commas, periods, and exclamation marks

iii. Capitalize words that are important.

 

This will make the AI voice sound 10x more natural. Compare:

Bad: "human civilization a story spanning years"

Good: "Human civilization   a story spanning THOUSANDS of years!"

 

I would recommend doing this in small segments (23 paragraphs at a time) to achieve best results. 

 

Step 4: Make Moving Historical Images 

 

We'll use Leonardo AI (free): 

1. Go to Image Creation 

2. Set to: 

    Leonardo Lightning XL 

    16:9 ratio (This is YouTube size) 

3. For each scene in your script, ask ChatGPT: 

   "Create 3 image prompts for this scene" 

 

Example of prompt: 

"Ancient humans around campfire at night, realistic style, cinematic lighting" 

Then you can paste this into Leonardo to create beautiful images. But here is the magic: 

As you hover over the image, click generate motion video. This will cause the fire to flicker, smoke to rise like a real documentary! 

 

Step 5: Editing It All Together 

 

Use CapCut (free) or any editor: 

 

1. Drag in your voiceover 

2. Add the moving images where they fit 

3. Add transitions (use "Fade"  looks pro) 

4. Put background music (get free documentary music on Uppbeat) 

5. Add autocaptions (click "Captions" then "Auto") 

 

Editing Tip: 

 Keep clips short (35 seconds each) 

 Make the captions bold white with black outline 

 Set music volume to 30% so it doesn't overpower the voice 

 

Making Money From Day 1 

 

Once you're approved for YouTube ads: 

 History videos earn $2$5 per 1,000 views 

 100,000 views = $200$500 

 1 million views = $2,000$5,000 

 

But wait  there's smarter ways: 

1. Sell digital history guides (use Canva) 

2. Get sponsors (history book companies, etc.) 

3. Offer voiceover services to others 

 

My Results (And Yours Can Be Better) 

 

My test video ("History of Human Civilization") took under 30 minutes to make. Here's the opening: 

 

"This is the journey of how we became modern humans. Our story begins 12,000 years ago in the last ice age..." 

 

With moving cave images, epic music, and that professional voiceover  it looks like a real documentary. And I didn't show my face once. 

 

Your Next Steps 

 

1.Pick your first topic (use the ChatGPT method) 

2.Make one test video (follow these exact steps) 

3.Upload to YouTube (even if not perfect) 

 

Remember: The channel we talked about started with just eight videos. Your first video could be the one that changes everything. 

 

Final Thoughts: Your Faceless History Channel Starts Today

 

Let us be honest; you just really scored. Those anonymous history channels that make thousands a month? You can be that. But the best part? No degree, no fancy equipment, not even a face is necessary.

Here's the thing:

• YouTube needs these videos, and considering people bingehistory docs like dodgy Netflix Originals, it'll always be in demand.

• AI tools do all the heavy lifting for you. Scripts, a narrator's voice, moving images (and none of it is complicated or requires you to even edit).

• Your first one hour YouTube video will take you 30 minutes to produce (not 30 hours, not even 30 days, 1 TAK).

I have shown you how to approach each step:

1. Steal the trending ideas from ChatGPT  so you don't have to relearn the 10,000 hours of trial and error.

2. Convert to scripts with 1copy and pasting.

3. Use free to get a voice that sounds like David Attenborough.

4. Make those images move that is magic (and no skills needed to edit).

5. Put it all together while sipping your first cup of coffee of the day.

The hardest part will be getting started! So here is your encouragement:

Today: Pick your first history topic (scratching the ChatGPT surface).

Tomorrow: Create your first video (follow the approach rules, no shortcuts).

Next Week: You will have three videos live, getting views, gaining subscribers, then repeat.

FAQs

1. Do I need to be a history nerd to start this channel? 

No way! Most successful channels are ones that do simple research (Wikipedia or ChatGPT) to write the scripts. As a presenter, your job is simply to present that information in a beginner-friendly way, not unlike a professor!

 

2. Can I use AI voices and not sound robotic? 

Yes—assuming you modify it a bit. You must pause, emphasize, and punctuate your script before generating the voiceover. If you do this the free version of ElevenLabs can actually sound refreshingly human.

 

3. Is it going to be against YouTube policy to create with AI? 

Noo. All YouTube cares about is original (not copied content) and that it follows their rules. AI tools are another tool in the toolbox, like a calculator for math.

 

4. What is the cost to get started? 

$0. All the tools I just listed (ChatGPT, ElevenLabs, Leonardo AI, CapCut) have good free version options. You can pay later if you'd like, but its $0 to get started.

 

5. How long until I make money? 

Once you get into the YouTube Partner Program (1,000 subs + 4,000 watch time) ads will start to pay. But here is the really important part: 

a. For the first 3 months we are focusing on 10 solid videos 

b. Month 4-6 we are expecting first payouts for (100 to 500 a month) 

c. Year 1: $1,000+/month if you stick with it. 

 

6. What if my videos don't get views? 

99% of the time, the reason is because: 

i.       Thumbnails are weak (use Canva, bold text + bad ass images in your thumbnail) 

ii.      Titles are boring (eg. "The SHOCKING Truth About Ancient Rome" vs. "Roman History") 

iii.     First 10 seconds don't hook (start with a question or crazy fact) 

 

7. Can I repurpose old history footage to save time? 

Dangerous. Copyrighted clips = demonetization. Stick with AIgenerated images/videos or royaltyfree archives (i.e. Internet Archive). 

  

8. How often should I post? 

1 video/week is ideal. Although never sacrifice quality for quantity; one amazing video each month beats four average videos. 

 

9. "If I'm shy, can I really succeed without showing my face?"

Absolutely. Some of the biggest channels on YouTube are faceless (e.g. *Kurzgesagt*, *The Infographics Show*). Your voice and visuals do the talking for you. 

 

10. What is the #1 mistake that beginners make?

Overthinking. They: 

i.       Study for weeks about 'researching' instead of just making 

ii.      Change the script 10 times 

iii.     Waiting for 'perfect' equipment 

 

The truth is this: Your first video is going to be horrible, and that's totally ok. You're going to get better as you go.
