For many years now, Gaming videos have been well-liked everywhere, including on YouTube. So there are many types of gaming videos that can be created. Let's Play, Guides and Comments are some of the most popular. Depending on the game you want to create videos about, a particular type of video might be more appropriate than others.
You can use a capture card or the built-in capture feature on most famous consoles to capture video game footage. Alternatively, you can find royalty-free gaming images and use them as backgrounds for your commentary.

2. Stock Footage
Many content creators are constantly looking for footage to use in their videos. Since this is the case, you can shoot stock footage videos for these people and build a channel.
Whichever route you choose, know that stock videos can be created in many ways and are popular. So if you have a decent camera or need images as a background for your commentary, consider making stock footage videos.
3. Compilations
Compilation videos are among the most popular videos on YouTube. The main issue with compilations is competition. When content is more unique and takes longer to create competition decreases. Since the compilations are very similar and quick to create, many people are looking for this type of content.
However, finding a niche that lacks compilations or a unique angle can help your channel stand out. Don't just make the same videos like every other compilation channel; try to be unique.
4. Podcast
While many people believe podcast videos are necessary, many voice-only podcasts get large numbers of views. Creating podcast videos is easy. Pick a niche, pick topics relevant to the niche, and talk about it. Podcast videos can be shot alone or with multiple speakers at the same time.
The only downside to podcasts is that they're often lengthy videos. That means in the time to create a single podcast episode; you can potentially create multiple individual videos. Keep this in mind when choosing a specific channel.
5. Music
As you can probably guess, music videos can be made without showing your face in front of the camera. You can create and record your music or upload existing copyright-free music. Many broadcasters create several hours of royalty-free music tracks. Usually, these long tracks contain meditation music, ambient music, etc.
As just mentioned, you need to make sure that the music you use is not copyrighted. That is the primary reason people stay away from operating music channels. If your channel has copyright issues, you may lose your monetization rights and get banned.
6. Meditations
Like music videos, meditations are a popular type of video created for people who want to make money on YouTube without showing their faces. Videos should not comprise a black screen with a voice. Content should be fun to consume, no matter what it is.
Consider creating meditation videos that target a specific group of people. For example, do a guided meditation for work-related stress, not just a guided meditation. This will get your videos viewed more often, resulting in more revenue.
7. Animations
Animations have become a popular type of video again in recent years. A significant benefit of animations is that they don't have to be complex. Simple character movements to show the speaker's emotions are more than effective. You don't have to create a Disney movie for an animated video to be well received.
Animations are often combined with some commentary. Knowing this, structure your animations to support your commentary! This allows you to captivate viewers while letting your voice take centre stage.
8. Lists
The videos on the list are engaging and easy to digest. However, perhaps the most significant advantage of these videos is that they can be anonymous. As with any channel, it's beneficial to choose a niche before creating content. Instead of making general playlist videos, consider making sports playlists, movie-related playlists, etc.
List videos are like slideshow videos but are more organized and contain images that follow a theme. Since this is the case, these videos can take longer to create than most general slideshows.
9. Conversations In Foreign Languages
Have you ever heard someone say they learned a foreign language through watching TV? The same concept has been carried over to YouTube in conversational videos.
If you know a language that others want to learn, you can create conversational videos for viewers to follow. The best part is that you don't have to be a professional language teacher to create these videos.
Many people believe that a person's face should be shown when a camera is used to capture images for a video. That's not the case. First-person video tutorials in the cooking and cleaning niche are trendy and never expensive.
These videos can be made by holding a camera to your chest or setting up a tripod in front of you. You can then extend the tripod and use your hands in the area where the video images are being captured.
Right now, you know how to make money on YouTube without showing your face. Creating videos still takes time and effort, whether or not you show your face. Don't expect to post videos and start making money instantly from faceless videos: YouTube doesn't work that way. You'll put in hard work and create many videos, say 20 minimum, to start seeing money rolling into your bank account.
