I think most people overcomplicate faceless content now.

If I had to build a repeatable system for Shorts, Reels or TikTok, this is probably how I’d do it:

1. Find topics with existing demand

Check out the trending topics on TikTok right now

Reddit for recurring questions and trends, Perplexity for quick research and context.

2. Turn ideas into scripts

I’d use ChatGPT.

Mostly for:

hooks

short scripts

multiple variations

I’d still edit manually so everything doesn’t sound identical.

3. Create visuals and videos

Simple workflow I’d use:

Midjourney for images

Kling for video generation

Separating visuals and motion usually gives more control.

4. Add voiceovers and make content international

I’d use Polyvoice.

For text-to-speech voiceovers and translating/localizing content into multiple languages without rebuilding everything manually.

If a video performs well, I’d test the same content in other markets instead of creating brand new videos every time.

5. Organize and scale

Probably Notion.

Just for tracking:

ideas

scripts

uploads

performance

I feel like faceless content is becoming less about editing and more about building a repeatable system.

Tried a bunch of AI tools recently for content creation and honestly most of them were either overcomplicated or just not that useful long term.

These are the few I actually keep using:

ChatGPT – probably the tool I use the most overall. Brainstorming content ideas, hooks, scripts, rewriting captions, random research… saves a ridiculous amount of time.

Kling AI – one of the few AI video tools that actually impressed me. Pretty good for visuals, short clips and faceless content stuff , animation.

Canva AI – super useful for thumbnails, quick edits, carousels and basically all the small content tasks you don’t want to spend hours on.

Polyvoice AI – probably one of the more useful tools I found recently for creators trying to reach international audiences. Being able to translate content into other languages while keeping the original voice/style makes faceless content and ads way easier to scale.

Honestly feels like a few solid 4 AI tools replace 90% of the smaller ones people keep hyping up.

What AI tools are you guys actually using for content creation lately?

I'm 23, based in Toronto, started this 4 months ago with no clients. Wanted to post the actual breakdown because every "I made $X online" post I see is either vague flexing or a soft pitch for a course.

The numbers

• Total: ~$
• Best niche so far: small e-com brands (fragrance, skincare, supplements)and Local Businesses. They need constant ad creative and can't afford a real production team.

What actually worked

-Cold DMs on Instagram to brands with under 20K followers. I'd make a 5-10 second ad for their actual product/business first, attach it to the DM, and say "made this for fun, no obligation happy to make more if you want." Reply rate was around 60%. Close rate on replies was about 1 in 3.

-Positioning. I stopped saying "AI ads" because half the owners I pitched got weird about it. Now I say "short-form video ads for paid social" and only mention the AI part if they ask how I keep costs down. Closes way easier.

-Tool stack, around $90/month total. Bonzi handles most of it generation, edits, captions. Topaz for upscaling. Product shots I still film on an iPhone with a $30 light.

-Building a portfolio before having clients. I made 6 spec ads for brands I liked but didn't work with. I also created an Instagram account to showcase my work.

- Build an example Ad for the business then reached out with a short preview ad.

What flopped

Upwork and Fiverr. Just don't waste your time here it's not worth it.

Pitching big brands. They want production value AI still can't fake, and their procurement process takes months. Stick to founder-led small brands who can say yes in one call.

Charging hourly. Switched to flat per-ad pricing in month 2 and revenue doubled almost immediately.

Anyway, that's the full picture. Happy to answer stuff in the comments and share ad templates, here's an example:

I'm Lucia, an AI engineer. I don't know how to sell, I hate editing, and I refuse to be an employee of the algorithm.

So I built a Digital Twin, an AI employee that studies my retention data and tells me which videos will hook my audience before I post. I run a faceless YouTube channel, generated 970 hours of retention in 15 days with $0 and no camera.

I'm here because I just watched two videos from operators running massive faceless empires:

1. One revives dead channels (WWII documentaries) and says: 80% of success is audience psychology and systems, not better editing.

2. The other launches 10+ channels a week with a full team and says: Our advantage is speed, data, and volume, we out scale solo creators even with lower quality.

So, the real bottleneck is not editing. It's knowing what part of your video will retain viewers, and having a system that removes you from the grind.

I'm building that system. But I want to make sure I'm solving the right problem. So my question to you: if you run a faceless channel (or are starting one), what's the most frustrating part of turning your long form videos into shorts? Is it deciding which clip to use? the editing? fear that it won't work? And if you've tried to automate or outsource this, what failed?

I'm genuinely curious and I will love listen your thoughts. my DMs are also open.

Hi everyone! I'm starting to get more personally active on Reddit and just wanted to intro myself here. I don't want this to come across as spammy or promotional, just to be a helpful resource!

I've been in the faceless video space for ~4 years now, and we manage dozens of accounts across all platforms.

If I can answer any questions for you about faceless videos in general just let me know!

I'm looking forward to being more active here and learning alongside you what is working in the industry right now!

I want to be real with you—making $10k a month in passive income is the dream, but let’s face it: it is NOT easy. I’ve been grinding in the digital space for a long time, and after countless trials, I’ve realized one thing: in the world of Faceless YouTube and Facebook, Quantity + Quality is the only way to win.

I’ve officially taken on a challenge to hit that $10k/month mark, and I'm documenting the process. To make this happen, I realized I needed to upload consistently—not just once a week, but multiple times a day. But how do you create high-quality, unique crime documentaries or forensic stories daily without burning out? Manual editing was killing my progress.

My Solution: Since I’m a software developer, I decided to stop complaining and start building. I’ve developed a custom AI-driven automation tool that I use for my own channels. This isn't some "magic button," but it’s a powerful engine that helps me generate 5 to 10 unique, high-quality videos every single day in my specific niche.

How my challenge is going:

• Efficiency: I’ve automated the most boring parts—syncing assets, generating timelines, and rendering.
• Growth: My Spanish crime page (50k+ followers) is already seeing 10k+ views per video because I can now keep up with the algorithm.
• The Goal: I’m now scaling this workflow to launch daily 1-hour documentaries on YouTube.

I’m in the middle of this challenge right now, and the results are looking incredibly promising. I truly believe that if you want to reach that $10k milestone in 2026, you have to work smarter and use automation to your advantage.

I’m not selling a course or a dream. I’m a creator just like you, building tools to solve real problems. If you want to know more about the specific niche I’m working in or how the tool I built works to simplify my workflow, feel free to shoot me a DM. I’m happy to share my journey and help fellow creators who are on the same path!

Let’s get to that $10k together. 🚀

You want to make faceless videos. Cool. So you sit down, you're motivated, you're ready.

Then it starts.

ChatGPT $20 a month. ElevenLabs $22 a month. Midjourney $30 a month. Video tool another $40. And just when you think you're set... you've run out of tokens.

Tokens. They literally invented fake internet coins so you don't feel the money leaving your wallet.

You're $150 deep and you haven't posted a single video.

I got so frustrated with this I started writing it all down. Every subscription. Every limit. Every time a tool held my content hostage until I upgraded. It was embarrassing how much I was spending just to CREATE.

So we said forget it. We built iMavi.

Everything in one place. The script. The voice. The visuals. The whole pipeline. No token system. No five different logins. No surprise charges when you're on a roll at 2am and suddenly you're out of credits.

Is it perfect yet? No. We're still building. But that's exactly why I'm here talking to you right now because the people who get in during the building phase always get the best deal. Always.

The waitlist is open. First come, first served. No tricks.

Drop your name and email and get in before we open the doors.
