Show HN: Find Faceless YouTube Channels with AI

2 pointsby andybadyhá 8 meses4 comments

Here's my embarrassing story:

I thought "gaming highlights" would work. Made 20 videos. Got 47

subscribers. Realized the CPM is like $2-4. Would need 500K views

just to make $1K/month. Not happening.

Then I tried "motivational quotes". Saturated. Couldn't get any

traction.

Then "meditation music". Also saturated. Plus copyright issues.

I was so frustrated. I knew faceless channels could work (I saw

some making money), but I had no idea HOW to find profitable ones.

Manually searching YouTube was a nightmare:

- Most channels show face sometimes (not truly faceless)

- Can't tell if they're actually monetized

- No way to know their revenue

- Takes forever to find good examples

I wasted 3 months guessing. Made 50+ videos across different niches.

Got nowhere.

Then I realized the problem:

I was trying to find profitable faceless channels manually. It's

impossible. There are millions of channels. How do you know which

ones are actually making money?

So I built a scraper to track faceless channels making $5K+/month.

Started analyzing what actually works.

What I found:

- Personal finance reviews (budget products) - Channels making

$15K-35K/mo

- Tech comparisons (budget tech angle) - Channels making $12K-28K/mo

- "How it works" explained content - Channels making $8K-20K/mo

- Ranking videos ("Top 10 X under $Y") - Channels making $6K-18K/mo

- Historical deep dives - Channels making $10K-22K/mo

The pattern: All successful faceless channels pick a micro-niche.

Not "tech reviews" but "budget gaming laptops under $800".

I turned my research into a tool called *ApexVix* so other people

don't waste months like I did. It tracks profitable faceless channels

across all niches and shows you:

- Real channels making $5K-30K/month

- What niches they're in

- Growth patterns

- Upload frequency that works

It's free to use: apexvix

No signup needed. I just wish I had this when I started. Would've

saved me 3 months of guessing.

If you're struggling to find profitable faceless niches, this might

help. Happy to answer questions!

How do you know how much these channels are making?

I'm pretty sure OP doesn't, and this is just bullshit.
