Imagine earning over $9,000 a month from YouTube without showing your face, speaking on camera, or even filming with a camera at all. Sounds too good to be true? Well, it’s not. Recently, I came across a YouTube channel that’s doing exactly that — creating simple AI-generated 1-minute videos — and the results are mind-blowing. The best part? This niche is still relatively unknown, meaning the competition is low and your chances of success are high.
In this step-by-step guide, I’ll show you exactly how to create high-performing AI videos using 100% free tools. By the end, you’ll have a complete system to start your own faceless YouTube channel and potentially earn thousands in passive income. All you need is one video to get started — and we’ll make that video together right here.
Why This AI Video Niche is a Goldmine
The channel I discovered has over 5 million views and is consistently getting 100,000+ views per upload. Just one recent video crossed 170,000 views, and others are easily hitting six figures. With YouTube AdSense, that kind of traffic translates into serious income — especially if you target high-paying niches like finance, tech, or AI.
Unlike other creators spending big money on tools like Runway, I’ve figured out how to create videos of even better quality using completely free AI tools. If you act fast, you could outperform existing channels and dominate this untapped niche.
Step 1: Access the Free Resources
Before we begin, you’ll need access to a special collection of prompts and assets I’ve compiled. These include:
- Pre-tested viral video prompts
- Reference channel analysis
- Scene structure templates
- Visual generation prompts
I’ve uploaded all of these into a single Google Doc (PDF version) inside my Telegram channel. Over 400 creators have already joined and started getting results — and it’s 100% free.
Step 2: Analyzing a Winning Channel
Open the first prompt from the doc and paste it into ChatGPT. Then insert the provided reference channel link. ChatGPT will analyze the channel, giving insights into:
- Title formats
- Scene structures
- Target audience demographics
- Content style
This step ensures we fully understand what works so we can replicate and improve on it.
Step 3: Generating a Viral Topic
Use the second prompt from the doc to generate a viral video topic. Copy several titles from the reference channel, paste them into ChatGPT, and request “extract only titles.” Then feed these into the prompt to get a brand-new, high-performing video idea tailored for your niche.
Step 4: Creating Visuals (Two Free Methods)
Method 1 – Leonardo AI + Artlist
- Go to Leonardo AI.
- Paste your scene prompts, choose the Flux Chanel model, and set aspect ratio to 16:9.
- Generate 9 unique scene images and download them.
- Use Artlist.io’s Image-to-Video tool to animate each scene.
Method 2 – Flow (Faster, More Realistic)
- Visit Flow and sign up with the same Gmail linked to your V3 account.
- Paste your prompt, select the V3 model, and generate realistic, text-to-video scenes in under a minute.
- Get 1,000 credits per month for free (with a simple trick to extend them).
Step 5: Editing Your AI Video
Once you have all your scenes, it’s time to edit them into a complete video. I recommend Clipchamp because it’s beginner-friendly and free.
- Import all your clips in the correct sequence.
- Add background music and sound effects from Pixabay.
- Match sound effects to on-screen actions for added realism.
- Export in high-quality resolution.
Monetization Potential & Niche Selection
One reason this method works so well is the high RPM (Revenue Per Mille) in certain niches. For example:
- Finance – $10+ RPM
- Tech & AI – $6 to $12 RPM
- Gaming – $4 to $8 RPM
By targeting these high-paying niches, you can maximize earnings while keeping production costs at zero.

Pro Tips for Going Viral
- Always use a hook in the first 3 seconds to grab attention.
- Keep videos between 45–90 seconds for maximum retention.
- Test multiple thumbnail styles to see what works best.
- Use strong calls-to-action like “Subscribe” and “Join the Telegram.”
Final Thoughts
We are living in an era where AI automation and YouTube monetization can turn side hustles into full-time incomes. With the right prompts, free AI tools, and a little creativity, you can replicate — or even outperform — channels already making thousands per month.
Don’t wait for “the perfect time” — the niche is wide open now. Take action today, and in a few months, you could be the one inspiring others with your success story.
