If you don't know what a faceless YouTube channel is, it's a YouTube channel where there's no creator, you don't see any person, and it's somebody doing a voiceover. And what's interesting about these, I didn't know these were basically businesses, and they're just pumping out this content.

What most people are doing and what people are missing on faceless channels is they're not picking these niches. They're not really picking niches. They're just like, how do I get as much views as possible so I can monetize via ads? Whereas The move is to be like, what is the most high impact niche to go after? And then how do I create faceless content for that niche? So if you want to do this, here's how I would do it using mostly AI tools. All right. Jonathan, Jice, Cream, Courtney, you're back.
Greg Isenberg 1:10
I'm back. I can't get rid of you.
Jonathan Courtney 1:12
You're like the gecko of the Startup Ideas podcast.
Greg Isenberg 1:15
I always come back. Yeah. You know, I've been watching the episodes of this podcast that do well. And you've also been messaging me. And generally people just want ideas. And as the name of the podcast is called, Podcast Ideas Podcast. What seems to do pretty well is things that one person can do that can make potentially a lot of money and doesn't require a whole team to set up. That seems to be the vibe, right?
Jonathan Courtney 1:49
I think so. I think a lot of people listening to this probably have jobs and they just kind of want to set up something on the side. And then maybe it turns into something super big and maybe it doesn't need to. I mean, it could just be like... making $100,000 a year or whatever it is on the side. And it's like, great, you know, and you can sell that you make $100,000 a year and you can sell that at five times ARR if you want.
Greg Isenberg 2:14
So I, I ran with that and I found One or two things that I think could be pretty interesting. One, again, like a lot of the things that I find are not because I'm researching for this podcast. It's because I'm researching it for myself. And one of the things that, you know, I have a YouTube channel. Our YouTube channel is one of the best ways for us to get qualified leads for our business. But I'm always looking to like, what else can you do at YouTube? And I stumbled across this notion board and I sent it to you. It's called Six Figure Channel List. And it's a notion board full of different channels on YouTube. And they're kind of ordered by six figure channels and seven figure channels. And the idea here, or what's special about these channels, is that they're called faceless YouTube channels. And I want to give credit to facelesschannelacademy.com. Actually, it was a guy. Who's the guy? He looks like Cody Schneider a little bit.
Jonathan Courtney 3:21
You want to give credit to Cody Schneider.
Greg Isenberg 3:23
I want to give credit to Cody Schneider, even though it isn't him. It's like the video, whatever the guy who runs the business faceless.
Jonathan Courtney 3:32
We'll link it. We'll link it.
Greg Isenberg 3:33
Whatever his name is. So I came across his video. Then he had this whole notion board. And by the way, I'll give you my first impression of faceless YouTube channels. If you don't know what a faceless YouTube channel is, it's a YouTube channel where there's no creator, you don't see any person, and it's somebody doing a voiceover. The most famous ones that you know are Daily Dose of Internet. Everyone, hello, this is your, what is it? Hello, welcome to your daily dose of internet. That guy, you know that guy?
Jonathan Courtney 4:05
That was actually pretty good.
Greg Isenberg 4:07
What does he say? Is it that?
Jonathan Courtney 4:08
It's basically that. I mean, you got it.
Greg Isenberg 4:11
welcome to your daily dose of internet. Uh, so that, then there's Kurzgesagt, the, I think German channel, uh, which does animations. And then there's a ton of fucking absolute dog shit, uh, out there, but they, in between, there's also like some like interesting ones like charisma on command. Um, You've seen tons of them. If you go to this Notion board, I don't know if you'll share it, you're going to notice a lot of these. And what's interesting about these, I never even paid attention. I didn't even know what these things were. And I am obsessed with YouTube. I didn't know these were basically businesses where people are using people from Fiverr to write scripts, AI to write scripts, narrators from Fiverr.
