The Faceless Creator’s Niche Map

(What 300,000 Videos Reveal About What Actually Goes Viral)**

If you’re building a faceless YouTube channel, niche selection is 90% of the game. Richard’s analysis of 300,000 videos basically exposes which niches will push your channel… and which will bury you alive.

Here’s the distilled roadmap.

🔥 Rule #1 — High Median Views = Easy Traffic

Some niches automatically give you “free momentum.”

These are forgiving, algorithm-friendly categories:

• Movies / TV breakdowns
• Music commentary
• Animals, politics, history “story explainer” content

These niches sit high on median views, meaning even mediocre videos get pulled into the algorithm.

Perfect for faceless channels using:

• AI voiceovers
• Stock footage
• Clips
• B-roll + captions

🔥 Rule #2 — High Outlier Score = Viral Lotto Tickets

If you want explosive breakout videos, pick niches that spike easily.

Trend-based = outlier-rich:

• New shows, new movies → constant hype
• Album drops, artist battles
• Political events, historical anniversaries
• Animal hypotheticals (“What if lions went extinct?”)

These niches are infinite content engines — new trends daily.

🔥 The Losers (Avoid These)

Some niches look big… but are algorithm graveyards.

❌ Gaming

Huge views… zero breakout potential. Saturated to hell. Faceless channels get swallowed.

❌ Broad Entertainment

Vlogs, general humor, lifestyle. Massive competition. Low upside. Algorithm doesn’t over-reward new channels here.

❌ Finance & “Teach Money”

Both median views AND outlier scores suck. Everyone’s repeating the same side hustle scripts.

🔥 The Best Faceless Niches (Based on the Data)

1️⃣ Movies / TV Commentary

• Clip breakdowns
• Character psychology
• Plot timelines
• Hidden details

High median views + high virality potential.

2️⃣ Music Stories

• Album drops
• Artist beefs
• Lyric meanings
• “Rise and fall” docs

Fast news cycle = nonstop trend waves.

3️⃣ Animals / History / “What If” Worlds

This is the faceless creator goldmine. You can use:

• stock footage
• AI narration
• simple animations

And it still blows up.

4️⃣ Politics / News Explainers

Daily events = endless supply. Massive search volume. Low production required.

🔥 The Faceless Formula (Steal This)

Step 1 — Choose a niche with high median views → So even bad videos get pulled.

Step 2 — Upload trend-tied topics → So some videos go viral.

Step 3 — Use a repeatable faceless format → Voice + clips + subtitles + pacing.

Step 4 — Publish 30 videos in 30 days → The algorithm needs density.

This recipe works in every winning niche on Richard’s chart.
