5 Viral TikTok Automation Niches That Can Earn You $20,000+ in 2025
There’s a lot of talk online claiming that TikTok automation is dead. The truth? It’s never been more alive. In fact, right now is one of the easiest times in history to blow up a brand-new TikTok page and start making serious money — even without showing your face. The challenge isn’t whether TikTok automation works; the real challenge is choosing the right niche.
In this article, I’m going to walk you through five proven TikTok niches that are going viral in 2025. These are not theory — these are backed by real-world examples, revenue screenshots, and strategies. In some cases, creators are earning $20,000 from just 10 uploads. And the best part? I’ll show you why these niches are easy to replicate using AI tools and free resources.
Stick around until the end, because I’ll also share a free PDF guide that teaches you exactly how to create content for these niches — plus my free training that’s better than most paid TikTok courses you’ll find online.
1. The Easy Content Format Niche
This niche might be at the bottom of the earnings list here, but it’s still pulling in $5,000 from 15 million views in just 10 uploads. The reason it’s so attractive is because it’s ridiculously easy to produce.
Here’s the process: use Google Vertex AI (also referred to as Google V3) to generate your content. If Google V3 isn’t available in your country, a simple solution is to use a free VPN like ProtonVPN, switch to a U.S. server, and refresh your account page to get free credits. From there, it’s just about plugging in prompts (which you’ll get in the PDF guide), creating your clips, and assembling them.
What makes this so powerful is that it’s not a single niche — it’s a content format. Once you have the formula, you can produce endless variations without having to reinvent your approach. This means more videos, less overthinking, and more opportunities to hit the TikTok algorithm jackpot.
2. Low-Quality Film Niche
Next up is the “low-quality film” niche, which may sound odd, but the numbers are impressive: $7,000 to $10,000 from 22 million views. These videos take more effort than the previous niche, but that’s actually an advantage — fewer people will bother learning the skills, which means less competition for you.
To get started, you’ll need Blender, a free 3D animation software. The workflow is simple:
- Download pre-made 3D characters.
- Import them into a free animation site to add movements.
- Bring them back into Blender, animate camera angles, and add a voiceover.
Many creators source their stories from short films on YouTube with millions of views. They condense the plot into a shorter, more digestible version and recreate it in 3D. You can also use quirky news sources like Florida Man stories or even AI tools like ChatGPT to generate unique scripts.
The key advantage here is the high barrier to entry — meaning if you’re willing to put in a bit of extra work, you’ll enjoy a bigger slice of the views (and revenue).
3. Maps & Geopolitics Niche
This niche has been around for years, and it’s still going strong in 2025. In the last 10 videos, one page earned $10,000 from 28 million views by simply creating map-based videos about interesting stories, geography facts, and geopolitical events.
Until recently, making these videos meant manually creating animations, which was time-consuming. Now, AI tools like Runway ML and Animaker can generate high-quality motion graphics in seconds.
Here’s the formula for success:
- Find an interesting topic (e.g., “The world’s longest cruise” or “Countries with the most islands”).
- Write a script that’s at least 60 seconds long so you qualify for TikTok monetization.
- Overlay your narration or text on top of animated maps.
The variety in this niche is endless. You can cover animals, cities, history, wars, or even bizarre travel facts. Once you find a theme your audience loves, double down on it.
4. The Ranking Niche
Ranking videos have exploded in popularity over the last year, and they’re only getting bigger. The premise is simple: choose a narrow topic, collect clips, and rank them from #5 to #1. This creates built-in suspense, which keeps viewers watching until the very end — boosting your retention rate and TikTok algorithm ranking.
For example, one creator made $12,000 from 36 million views just ranking sports moments. You could choose cars, movies, TV shows, video games, celebrity moments — anything you’re passionate about.
The key is to make it niche-specific. If you pick a topic that hasn’t been overdone, you’ll have zero competition. That means all the views — and the ad money — will be yours.
Pro tip: Use free tools like Canva to add clean titles, hooks, and countdown numbers to your videos.
5. AI-Generated Story Niche (Highest Earner)
This is the big one. The niche that’s pulling in $20,000 from just 10 videos. It’s also one of the easiest for beginners, thanks to AI tools.
Here’s how it works:
- Use ChatGPT to generate character-based stories and detailed scene descriptions.
- Feed those images into AI video generation tools like Kaiber AI or Luma AI.
- Edit the final video in CapCut, adding background music to set the mood.
These videos often target younger audiences, featuring cute or surreal scenes — think puppies, babies, and fantastical elements. But the potential is much bigger. Some creators are already using this method to pitch Netflix-style short films.
Best of all, you can test the concept for free before investing in AI apps. If your first video gains traction, you can scale quickly and profitably.
Bonus: Direct Brand Deals Niche
While TikTok’s Creator Rewards program can be lucrative, some niches skip it entirely by working directly with brands. Certain apps will pay you per view to create content featuring their product. For example, campaigns in Discord communities may pay $1 per 1,000 views.
Using AI platforms like Teza, you can produce promotional videos in minutes. Simply give the AI a topic, let it write the story, and generate the video. With minimal effort, you could create 30 videos per month and earn steady income without relying on ad payouts.
Pro Tip: Start With a Monetized Account
If you don’t want to wait to qualify for TikTok monetization (which requires 10,000 followers and specific view counts), you can buy a pre-monetized account from a reputable seller. This lets you start earning from your very first video — but make sure it’s compliant with TikTok’s terms.
Final Thoughts
TikTok automation isn’t going anywhere — it’s evolving. By focusing on high-performing niches, leveraging AI tools, and sticking to proven formats, you can create a sustainable, faceless TikTok brand in 2025. The window of opportunity is wide open, but as with all trends, early adopters get the biggest rewards.
