25 YouTube Channel Ideas Without Using Your Voice or Talking

Did you know that you can run YouTube channels without ever talking in any videos and without your voice? First of all, here's 3 examples of what not to do. Number 1: Do not make compilations of other people's videos without following the guidelines of fair use. Now, this would include things like TikTok compilations, for example. Do not do that. Number 2: Do not run a text-to-speech channel where you have a robot doing the voiceover for you, as you might also have trouble monetizing your videos with this method. Now this would include things like Reddit videos. I'm sure you've seen channels that do that, that just have a robot doing the text-to-speech. That could also have copyright problems as well, so do not do that. And number 3, do not do a relaxing music channel in which you use other people's music. A lot of these types of channels have had trouble monetizing unless you do them the correct way, and we'll be getting into that in just a second. Now here's some YouTube channel ideas that do not require you to use your voice or to even talk. And most of these ideas can also be done without even showing your face either. And in this video, we'll be going over 25 different niches, and I'll even give you some channel ideas in many of these niches as well. So let's start with niche number 1, which is the music niche. Now this would consist of either making music yourself or paying other people to make music for you. Again, you don't wanna just go grab music from royalty-free places and put it on your video and call it your video because you might have trouble monetizing that way. So how about an example of a channel that's doing this? Well, here's a channel called Tim Janus, and this guy makes the music himself. As you can see, uploads videos, gets tons of views on his videos. In fact, his channel is getting 5.8 million views per month just creating this music. And then as you can see also, he sells his music right here as well. So that's another income stream for him. And these videos get tons of views, just beautiful relaxing music. And another option would be to pay someone on either Fiverr or Upwork to create this type of music for you. For you, but you can also do this making the music yourself if you're a musician or if you know someone who can make music like this, that's certainly an option as well. Now you might also notice that he's running several livestreams at the same time, and you might wonder, how is he doing this? You might have seen livestreams like this. Well, this can be accomplished by using a tool like the Restream Scheduler right here, which will allow you to livestream already recorded videos or music. Coming in at number 2, we have cooking tutorials. Cooking tutorials do not require you to speak in them. A lot of people just like to watch these videos and follow along, usually with text on the screen or something like that. And an example channel that does this is this channel called Tasty Recipes right here, which shows how to make all these different types of food. And this channel is getting 6.5 million views per month doing this. And if you watch any of their videos, you'll notice that there's no talking whatsoever within the videos, and they simply show how to make these different types of food. Number 3 is 360. Videos. So this is kind of an outside-the-box niche idea that can allow you to do YouTube without your voice and without potentially even showing your face. Now I have a few different example channels to show you to demonstrate this, and there's two main ways of going about doing this. Method number one would be to pay an animator from somewhere like Upwork or Fiverr to make the animations for you. And an example channel that does this is this channel called 3D VR 360 Videos with almost 2 million subscribers, and they get 16 million views per month. Now, their videos are a bit complicated to make. As you can see, their videos, for example, are roller coaster videos, water slide videos, and so on. And the crazy thing about these videos is that they're actually 360 degrees, meaning that the viewer, no matter what device they're watching on, can actually look around the video. And I'll actually demonstrate that to you in just a second. But first, the second way of going about doing this would be to actually buy a 360 camera and and take videos of stuff that people would want to see. And one good example of that would be visiting landmarks such as New York City or other prominent places in the world that people would like to see, and they can go there kind of in virtual reality. And let me actually show you an example of a video that does this. As you can see, this video is called New York City 360 VR Drive. And the crazy thing about this video is that, look, I can literally pan around and look around in this video. So this guy literally just bought a 360 camera, put it on the top of his car, and drove through New York City, and now people can enjoy this. This channel gets 3 million views per month, and this video got almost 2 million views on it. Now, if you wanted to consider doing this niche, a good potential 360 camera to get would be the GoPro Max. Channel idea number 4 is ASMR videos. Now, if you're not familiar, ASMR is a type of sound audiovisual experience that people like to watch, and they get satisfaction from watching it. And usually it's like someone whispering into a microphone or doing these super quiet things that people like to listen to. And the best way to really understand what I'm talking about would be to watch an ASMR video. But a good example channel that doesn't even use their voice and that doesn't even show their face would be this channel called Cracker ASMR. They got over 100,000 subscribers on their channel and they just do videos like No Talking ASMR Cleaning a Keyboard with Slime. And as you can see, they just make all these noises, clean the keyboard with slime, and this video got almost 2 million views on it. So ASMR could be a potential good— Idea number 5 would be workout tutorials. A lot of people, especially with the times that we're in right now, are indoors. So you could potentially make workout tutorials, or if you know a personal trainer, you know someone who does workouts on a regular basis, you could just hire them, film them, do workout tutorials. People can just watch and follow along, and there doesn't necessarily have to be any talking in those types of videos whatsoever. Channel idea number 6 is roller coaster POVs. Now to show you what I mean by that, here's an example channel called Theme Park Review, and they produce first-person view videos of different roller coasters from all around the world, and this channel gets 5 million views per month. Now, before you do anything like this, before you just start going to theme parks and taking cameras and videotaping on the roller coasters, make sure that you have approval from the ride operators and everything, that you can for sure film on those rides. But as you can see, there's many channels that do this. And a good way of going about doing this potentially as well would be to use a camera like a GoPro and then just strap it to your chest. They sell like chest straps, head straps online, so it's secured on you as well and it won't just go flying off. When you go on the roller coaster. Channel idea number 7 is yoga videos. Just like workout videos, people also want to know how to do yoga, and there doesn't have to be any talking in those types of videos either. And if something does need to be explained in a video like that, you can simply have text on the screen explaining the poses you're doing or whatever else. Idea number 8 is cruise ship walkthroughs. And as you can see, if you search this on YouTube right here, there's tons of videos with millions of views on them in which people simply just walk through different cruise ships show all the things that the ships have to offer, and they can potentially get a lot of views. And again, make sure that you have approval before you were to go out and film on cruise ships. I know a lot of cruise ships aren't operating currently, but once things do open up, this could potentially be a good idea. Channel idea number 9 is somewhat similar, but it's city walkthroughs. So this would consist of walking through different cities and videotaping walking through the city. And an example channel that does this is this channel called Globetrotter Alpha. And as you can see, they just do videos like walking through Manhattan, New York City, walking through Paris, Hong Kong, Vancouver, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and all these different prominent places from around the world, and these videos get millions upon millions of views. So if you live by a big city or you'd like to travel and visit many different big cities, you can potentially get a lot of views doing this. This channel brings in over a million views per month. Channel idea number 10 is how to draw. So if you have drawing skills or you know someone who does, then you could potentially run a drawing channel. And another option, if you don't know anyone who can draw, you can literally hire someone from Upwork or Fiverr who's an artist who can make these types of videos that don't even require you to talk into a microphone or don't even require you to use your voice whatsoever. And an example channel that does this is this channel called How to Draw in Paint. And as you can see, they just do videos like how to draw emojis step by step, and they simply show how to do so. There's no talking in the videos whatsoever, and some of these videos can get lots of views. And another option for this as well would be to do speed drawing tutorials like these videos right here, in which they draw certain things and then it's sped up way faster so that someone can see you draw something that might have taken you hours in just a couple of minutes. And people love these and they get billions of views. Idea number 11 is piano tutorials. So if you know how to play piano, you could potentially film yourself playing different songs and people can actually learn how to play just from watching you. And another option would be to use a software such as Synthesia right here, in which you can actually play music and then just screen record this software. Now, an example channel that does this is this channel called Pianonized right here. Over half a million subscribers and this channel gets 16 million views per month. And as you can see, they're just using a software just like Synthesia right here, and they play all these different songs. And a lot of these videos can get lots of views. For example, this video right here got 10 million views on it. Idea number 12 is car spotting. So car spotting is simply something where people go out there and they find cool cars and they take videos of them. And an example channel that does this is this channel called Exotic Car Spotters right here. And as you can see, they just go to these different car meets and stuff. They take videos of people's cool cars, and these videos get millions of views. There's a large amount of people out there that literally just like to watch cool cars drive around, and this channel brings in 4 million views per month doing this. And an option for getting content for a channel like this would be to go to somewhere like a car meet or somewhere that a lot of cool fancy cars are going to be, and then simply recording the cars. Now, I would suggest asking for permission before you just go out there and film random people's cars. Ask them for permission and make sure that they're okay with it. And another option would be to go to dealerships even and ask them, hey, could I film some of your cars? Could I do a walkthrough of your car? You don't even necessarily have to talk in your videos whatsoever. For example, this channel doesn't even talk in any of their videos, they just film other people's cars. And just like car spotting, there's also something known as airplane spotting. And that brings us into the 13th niche on this list of ideas that do not require you to use your voice, and that is airplane spotting. So as you can see, here's a channel called Razgriz Flight and Spotting, and they make videos just filming airplanes landing or filming on the planes themselves different flights from around the world. And as you can see, this channel right here brings in over a million views per month, and they just go out to airports, film different planes landing and taking off, and sometimes from the passenger point of view as well. And aviation enthusiasts love to watch this. Idea number 14 is farming. So if you're a farmer or you know someone who does farming, this could potentially be a good niche. And as you can see, an example channel in this niche is called Big Tractor Power. And they simply make videos of different tractors on farms. And as you can see, this channel actually pulls in 3 million views per month, and they just film tractors harvesting, collecting crops, planting crops, and so on. And a lot of these videos actually get a lot of views, surprisingly. Idea number 15 is street food, and this channel called Dancing Bacon is a great example of this. They simply go to different street food markets and they film people making the food. And as you can see, some of these videos have millions of views on them. And this channel brings in 13 million views per month. And they just make videos like Taiwanese street food market, night market, and they just film a bunch of people making the food. So if you have a street food market near you or you wanna go to one, you could potentially film them making some of the food. Obviously always ask if it's okay if you film them making the food. And if they're okay with it, you could do so and maybe even make a whole channel out of doing it. Idea number 16 is experiments. And this channel called Power Vision is a great example of this. They simply make videos of different experiments like cars versus rainbow toothpaste right here, Coca-Cola versus baking soda, and this channel, this is crazy, this channel brings in 85 million views per month just doing these wacky experiments in which there's no talking whatsoever. You don't even have to talk in making videos like this. Idea number 17 is life hacks, which is somewhat similar but just doing like different hacks around the house or different crafts that could make your life easier. And an example channel that does this is the channel 5-Minute Crafts. Which gets an insane amount of views, and it's actually one of the fastest growing channels on all of YouTube. Idea number 18 is drone footage. So if you own a drone, you could potentially just fly it above different cities, take videos of them, and then post them on YouTube. And this video right here got over 200,000 views, and it's simply just flying drones from around the world, such as Asia right here, South America, North America, Europe, and Africa. And you could just go to popular places, fly your drone, and potentially get a lot of views doing this. Idea number 19 is real estate house walkthroughs. So if you're a realtor yourself or you know a realtor or you wanna reach out to one and see if you can partner up and run a channel like this, an example channel that does this is called Open House 24. And as you can see, they simply make videos walking through these different houses. There's no talking in the videos whatsoever. And these videos actually get millions of views. And this channel right here gets almost 3 million views per month. So this channel is getting a lot of views, and the houses don't even necessarily need to be mansions to get a lot of views either. As you can see, a lot of these houses are very big, but if we sort it by their newest videos right here, a lot of their houses are just simple, normal, everyday houses, and it can still get a lot of views. And you could potentially make a lot of money if you were to partner with the realtor or real estate agent, and you get a commission for every single house sale that you get. That could potentially make a lot of money, or get leads for a real estate practice if you own one yourself or you know someone who does. Idea number 20 is fishing videos. Videos like this one right here in which they catch different types of fish using different types of traps and stuff like that can get a lot of views. This channel right here is getting 20 million views per month. This video alone got 33 million views on it. Number 21 is gardening, and this channel right here is a good example of a channel doing this called Tropical Gardening, and they just walk through different gardens, and a lot of these videos get a lot of views. Idea number 22 is scuba diving and treasure hunting. So here's a channel that does this. For example, as you can see, he just goes in the water, finds different things under the water, people who lost their sunglasses, for example, in the river, puts a camera on his head, videotapes it, puts it online. People love these types of videos. 200,000 views on this video. This channel gets 3 million views per month. And on this video right here, there's no talking on the video whatsoever, yet it still gets a lot of views. Number 23 is survival videos and primitive building videos. These videos have absolutely blown up. In the past few years. And as you can see, if you search primitive building on YouTube, you can find all these types of videos of people building these types of huts and places to live that are absolutely remarkable. Now, if you don't have skills to make anything crazy like that, you can also just search primitive survival right here. And there's a lot of videos of people making things in the woods and trying to survive. And most of these videos don't even have any talking in them. Number 24 is satisfying videos. Here's a channel called Oddly Satisfying, 2 million subscribers. And they simply do videos of different things that people consider satisfying. And these are kind of random videos. There's no talking in any of these videos. And as you can see, this channel gets 16 million views per month. And the crazy thing about this channel is the fact that they have this link which allows people to actually submit their own videos. As you can see, if they click this link, they can submit their own video, and then it might be featured in one of their videos. So Oddly Satisfying doesn't even necessarily need to create their own videos either. Because they have people sending them videos for free. Number 25 is technology tutorials. Here's a channel called Urim Berisha, and they simply produce videos about Windows themes and Windows tutorials, and this channel pulls in 200,000 views per month, and there's no talking in any of these tutorials. Here's another channel called One Best C# Blog, which shows programming tutorials and source code tutorials, and on their videos there's no talking whatsoever, yet this channel brings in 3 million views per month on it with no talking and no voice. And now to give you as much value as I possibly can, let me actually go over some bonus ideas to produce videos without your voice that I thought of while I was recording this video, one of which being woodworking videos. So woodworking videos, as you can see right here, they don't even require you to use your voice if you don't want to. You could just find someone who's got some skills making woodworking stuff. And as you can see, some of these videos can get millions of views, like this shelf that this person built right here. Almost 3 million views in 3 months. Bonus idea number 2 is paper airplanes and origami. This doesn't necessarily require you to use your voice, and there's tons of videos online of people showing how to make paper airplanes or origami as well. And there's a lot of people who are into this who might want to learn how to do this, who don't need to be talked through the steps, who just really want to see how to fold the paper and how to actually make these arts and crafts type of things. And bonus idea number 3 is crafts. So this is somewhat similar to life hacks, but a lot of people just wanna know how to do certain types of arts and crafts, or they just enjoy watching it. For example, if you search cardboard crafts on YouTube, there's tons of videos with millions of views. This video has 33 million views on it, and it just shows some different types of things that you can build with cardboard, and there doesn't even have to be any talking or voice within these videos whatsoever. Now, in an effort to provide you even more value, if you're going to be producing videos without your voice, you might want to put something in the background of your videos. And a great option for that would be to place royalty-free music. And you might be asking, where can I get that? Well, I recommend the YouTube Audio Library, which is something provided by YouTube completely free with tons of completely free music that you can use in the background of your voiceless videos. Now check out this video next to me right here if you want to discover how to generate videos without ever showing your face or getting in front of a camera. It's also going to show you how to potentially get a ton of views super fast and how to potentially make up to 10 times more than most YouTubers, so you'll know how to actually get views, monetize, and get these videos produced from start to finish in this completely free video. So check it out. Thanks for watching. My name is Matt Parr, and I'll see you next time.
