52% of TikTok creators make over $15,000 yearly on the platform. With such a mammoth audience, it presents attractive financial possibilities, even as it faces ongoing threats of shutdown in some territories.
But being an influencer and showing your face isn’t for everyone. It takes a lot of courage and charisma, and frankly, it’s not necessary for every niche.
As a result, faceless TikTok accounts have skyrocketed in popularity. Content creators can share their passions, expertise, and creativity in anonymity.
This guide will show you how 30 faceless TikTok ideas can help you make money, gain a following, and open up windows to external revenue!
So, get ready to make notes and get inspired.
What are faceless TikTok accounts?
Faceless TikTok accounts share content without a presenter revealing their identity. Instead, they use voiceovers, animated characters, subtitles, or captions, on engaging backgrounds.
Creators can share their name and do a ‘face reveal’, if they want, but the underlying idea is that the content stands up on its merit, and not due to the creator’s great (or not-so-great) looks.
Many accounts use computer-generated text-to-voice narration, while others add some personality with genuine voiceovers. TikTok’s text-to-voice tool is your friend here.
Remember that you need to keep it as original as possible. Stealing content will get your account locked, or banned from monetization. Plus, the more original you are, the more you’ll stand out and get featured on someone’s ‘For You’ page. So when writing a short story, for example, don’t go stealing it.

How can you make money from a faceless TikTok account?
Before you get into the ideas, here’s some context on how you’ll convert your ideas into money.
TikTok creator fund
The TikTok creator fund rewards accounts based on their views and engagement.
Qualified accounts are paid on a sliding scale, depending on how well their videos perform. It reflects organic engagement (and not views or likes that come as a result of ad traffic).
It’s arguably the easiest way to start making money on TikTok. You simply apply for the fund and can expect around $0.02 to $0.24 per 1,000 views. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but if you go viral, you’ll see decent passive income.
To qualify, you must:
- Be older than 18
- Have at least 10,000 followers on TikTok
- Be a resident in the US, UK, Germany, Japan, South Korea, France, and Brazil
Applying is relatively easy. First, ensure you have a Pro Account. Then, go to ‘Settings’ - ‘Creator Tools’ - ‘TikTok Creator Fund’. Click that and you’ll be asked to agree to some terms.
If you get approved, you’re good to go. If not, you can apply again in 30 days.
Sponsored content and partnerships
With around 1 billion active monthly TikTok users, brands are eager to pay content creators to promote their products and services to relevant eyes. Heck, 61% of marketers say they use this route!
If your account is in a niche, those brand deals will come to you. All you have to do is highlight their products in videos and captions. And voila, you’ll get paid in exchange.
You can help your chances by building a portfolio site and media kit that highlights what you do best, what your audience looks like, and your best engagement metrics. Send that to brands that you see supporting other creators!
Affiliate marketing
Affiliate marketing is a simple concept; a brand gives you a unique URL for their product. Then you put it on your bio and/or video caption. And when a viewer clicks it and buys the product, you make a commission.
Some affiliate products can reward you by up to 90%.
Naturally, you need to accept affiliate products that fit your niche and are helpful or attractive to your audience. For example, they’ll lose interest if you start sharing links to vitamins when you’re running a faceless gaming TikTok account.
Affiliate marketing can also unlock lots of opportunities for new video ideas, so it’s a route you should at least consider.
You can sign up to affiliate marketing networks, or find brands that are offering affiliate links to share. For example, you can become an affiliate of Whop super easily - just check out Whop Affiliates.
Once you have 5,000 followers, you can sign up for TikTok’s affiliate marketing program, which works natively on the app.

4. Sell digital products
You can also promote your own digital products (so you keep all the money).
The idea is simple. You create digital products for your niche and promote them in your videos. For example, if you’re a cooking channel, then you could list your digital cooking book or chef course.
Or, if you’re running a Minecraft channel, you could list your server, DLCs, and donation link.
Whop is the perfect place to make use of these ideas, as your whop will act as an all-in-one hub for your fans. There are users on Whop who teach trading, for example and sell courses and resources on a subscription basis. They’re raking in the cash!
The 30 best faceless TikTok account ideas in 2025
1. Product Reviews
Pick a niche, such as music production, home lifestyle, or gaming. Now, you can start reviewing products in that niche for people who want to learn more before they spend their money.
In time, brands will come to you with offers to review their products. And, you can find affiliate products to market on affiliate marketing networks today.
You can do this faceless, by showing point-of-view footage of you trying out the product, or (if it’s digital) a screen recording of it in action.
Couple that with a nice voiceover and you’ve got a chance of being a trusted voice in your niche.
Here are a few popular examples of niches and their products:
- Beauty: Makeup and skincare products.
- Tech: Phone accessories, household appliances, unique life-hacking tools.
- Lifestyle: Cleaning gadgets, kitchen tools, amazon finds.
- Fashion: Shoe reviews, accessories, clothing (without showing your face).
- Fitness: Workout equipment and gear, protein snacks, and tech accessories.
2. Gaming clips
While gaming reactions are great, people are still happy to enjoy gameplay footage, especially when paired with a voice-over.
Record yourself playing, reviewing games, or providing tips. The possibilities here are endless, but they can result in brand deals, affiliate marketing, or your external revenue streams - such as creating your own paid servers or becoming a gaming coach.
Go check out accounts like theguardgg or xzit_thamer, for some inspiration. Even though they show their faces often, they also produce a vast amount of faceless original content.
Here are some popular examples:
- Fails and bloopers
- Before and after progress on creative games such as Minecraft
- How-to-guides
- Gaming reviews
- Settings tips and tricks
- Hidden secrets (for example, did you know there’s a secret ‘The Office’ set in ‘The Last of Us’?)
3. Meditation and mindfulness
Meditation and mindfulness reels are made for viewers who want something to remind them to chill out, escape, or realign their thoughts.
If that sounds like your realm, then you can create calming visuals to go with some meditation exercises, quotes, or tips.
Your engagement can result in TikTok creator fund rewards and with time, you can provide app reviews and potential brand sponsorship.
Here are some popular ideas:
- Lead viewers through meditation exercises, with a calming voiceover.
- Breathing exercises, with a calming breathing animation guide.
- Positive affirmations.
- Nature walks, or satisfying loops taken from your life.
- Yoga and stretching poses, using animations.
4. Life hacks
Highly practical hacks and tips for daily life can go very viral. They can be relatable to nearly anyone, regardless of demographic and niche.
You can create faceless content by filming tools and actions up close. Sites like Reddit’s ‘Life Pro Tips’ can be great resources for finding ideas, but you’ll find endless inspiration from other TikTokers.
You can feature affiliate products that could be considered life hacks, in exchange for some sweet, sweet commissions.
Here are some examples:
- Household hacks
- Travel hacks
- Tech tips
- Productivity tips
- Cooking tips
5. Personal Finance
Personal finance is another very popular and broad niche. Everyone benefits from it. You can niche down into a specific demographic, such as personal finance for mothers, students, or retirees.
The trick is to provide ongoing advice in reels with simple and engaging animation - things like pie charts. But a lot of creators just use a pen and paper - it works.
Get popular and you could land brand deals and affiliate marketing commissions from banks, loan companies, and apps.
Best of all, you could then start selling personal finance courses and coaching on Whop for some serious money!
Here’s some ideas:
- Budgeting tips
- Expense tracking
- Finance app reviews
- Saving hacks
- Debt management
- Credit tips
- Financial planning
- Investments
6. Trading
Think you’re a bit of a trading guru? You could help people get started, by sharing reels that show your journey to success. So many people have no idea where to start.
You don’t need to show your face, as you can show engaging chats, screen footage, or good ol’ stock charts.
Brands may come to you with deals, but you’ll also open the door to selling courses and coaching on Whop. Trading is one of the biggest niches on Whop, with people making hundreds of thousands of dollars for their expertise.
This is not financial advice.
Why not try these reels?
- Trading beginner guides
- Inspirational journeys
- Risk management
- Market updates
- Trading psychology
7. Educational content
Use screen recordings and text overlays to explain new concepts to those who are eager to learn!
Make sure you go for a niche - such as maths, IT, history, or something like ‘finding a job’. Whatever it is, you can make reel after reel of educational content, tips, and facts.
Educational faceless TikTok accounts are fantastic at converting into external revenue via courses and coaching on Whop.
TikTok’s most popular educational niches include:
- Science
- Business and Finance
- Professional development
- History
8. Art creation
Hello, my fellow creatives. I know that the thought of taking your art to TikTok can be painful. We just want to create.
But, there’s no need to dance around and make a fool of yourself. You can do a screen recording, put a camera behind your shoulder while you paint, or show before and after clips.
To make money, you can cash in via the TikTok creator fund, share Etsy links, use affiliate links, or share your skills via courses on Whop. If people love your work, they might be eager to pay to learn how to do it themselves - it's an easy way to make money with art.
You can share:
- Process videos
- Tutorials
- Art techniques
- Challenges
- Art hacks and tips
- Supply reviews
9. BookTok
‘BookTok’ is what people in the book world are calling their TikTok niche. If you love books, you can go wild sharing reels that review, read snippets, unbox, or recommend great reads.
You can also interact with the community, setting reading challenges or taking recommendations.
There’s no need to show your face. Money can come via affiliate links and, if you’re a writer, courses and coaching on Whop.
BookTok is full of:
- Reviews and genre lists
- Book hauls
- Thrifted finds
- Book memes

10. Motivational quotes
Looking to inspire? People love a reel that appears in their feed to motivate them.
You can take quotes from famous icons and historical figures, and read them over aesthetically pleasing footage, animations, or photos. Or, you can share your own words of wisdom.
The money can come from affiliate links, such as links to Amazon biographies, or even your own inspiration coaching courses.
You could share:
- Self-love and confidence quotes
- Growth and change vibes
- Questions to reflect upon
- Motivation
- Historic quotes
11. DIY crafting
For DIY creators, people will be willing to enjoy your process and learn from your skills. You can record your hands, use time lapses, or before and after style videos to showcase your work.
You could then sell your products on sites like Etsy, and once you’ve got a following, consider selling courses on how to reach your level on Whop.
The DIY scene is also great for affiliate marketing, with endless products, tools, and materials available to promote.
Here are some popular DIY crafting video ideas:
- Tutorials
- Quick hacks
- Product and tool reviews
- Time-lapses
12. Cooking and recipes
From staple regional dishes to weird and outrageous new ideas, cooking videos are amongst some of the most popular on TikTok. The FoodTok hashtag has been viewed more than 64 billion times!
It's a niche that works really well without a face, as the hands, ingredients, and tools provide the main interest.
You don’t have to be a Michelin-star chef either, as people are always looking for low-budget hacks and easy recipes.
Earnings can come from collaborations, affiliate marketing, and digital products (such as recipe ebooks, which you can sell on Whop).
If you’ve got lots of ideas and culinary skills, then consider these ideas:
- Step-by-step recipes
- POV cooking
- Trending Recipes
- Kitchen hacks
- Product reviews
- Cooking challenges
- Ingredient prep ASMR (yes, this really is a thing!)
13. Go-Pro footage
Wearing a go-pro in your day-to-day life can make for a surprisingly interesting channel. There’s one account I enjoy of an UberEats delivery driver, recording his best moments of the day.
The idea is that you film your activity from your point of view, so people can get a unique perspective of something they’d otherwise never access. From preparing sandwiches to rock climbing, or walking dogs, the go-pro possibilities are endless.
And, you don’t have to break the bank with an actual Go-Pro - other brands are available. Here are some ideas:
- POV outdooring
- Underwater scenes
- Travel
- Sports
- Workout routines
- Your day at work
14. Collections
What do you love to collect? Whether it’s plushies, model trains, retro games, or historic artifacts, people love to see others geek out.
That shared passion can make you stand out in the niche and result in brand deals and affiliate marketing opportunities. It’s also a really fun way to share your collections.
Popular accounts tend to post:
- Organization tips and techniques
- Unboxing
- Product reviews
- ASMR showcasing
- Cleaning and maintenance
15. Sound effects
If you like to create sounds, you could create an account that shares sounds for people to remix or buy.
For example, you record a walk in a forest, a soothing ambient, or ASMR tapping. Combine it with a vibey video, and you’ve got yourself a faceless TikTok account that shares unique sounds.
You can give some away for free to create interest, before selling your best as digital products on Whop. You could even make a subscription so that people get regular new packs to use.
- Daily sound clips
- ASMR
- Theme sound effects
- Storytelling sound effects
- Moodboards
16. Sports betting
People into sports want to know what the odds are on upcoming games and potential in-game events. They’re ready to spend their hard-earned cash on the potential of reward, so they need advice.
While you can’t tell people what to bet on, you can share your opinions and combine them with clips, stats, facts, and trivia - all without showing your face.
Some of Whop’s highest earners are sharing sports betting guidance, so you might also want to cash in on that route.
- Daily picks
- Beginner betting tutorials
- Win or lose stories
- Trends and analytics
- Game predictions
17. Travel
Capture first-person views of your traveling and journeys, and you might get popular due to your unique perspective.
Some travel creators have landed millions of subscribers, capturing incredible moments, from traveling on trains across continents to giving tours of small unknown towns.
Ideally, you’ll want to do a real voice-over, but many accounts still get away with automated voices. You might even land brand sponsorship, paid hotel trips, and affiliate marketing deals by trying:
- POV journeys
- Travel essential tips
- Budget travel advice
- Hidden gems
- Travel hacks
- Product reviews
18. Reddit quotes
Reddit is a treasure trove of crazy stories. Subreddits like ‘Am I The A**hole?’, for example, can make for really entertaining reels.
You can take the text and narrate it, with subtitles on top of an engaging background. Some accounts try to make the background video relevant, while others put Minecraft gameplay… Strangely, the latter works very well.
People love hearing these crazy discussions and sharing their moral opinions.
- Split stories, with cliffhangers for part 2, etc.
- Reaction videos
- Polls
- Themed stories
- Look at subreddits like r/AmITheA**hole, r/EntitledParents
19. Pet content
Do you have a cute pet? You can make them the face of your TikTok channel, by recording their habits and cute or crazy moments.
You could feature products via brand sponsorship and affiliate marketing to cash in. If your pet gets really popular, people might even be happy to get some merch like digital stickers and wallpapers.
- Pet POV videos
- ASMR pet sounds
- Cute reactions
- Pet product unboxing and reviews
20. Fitness
Share your workout routines with animations or stock footage. Your goal is to provide guides that people can use or motivate themselves with. You’re not the star here, the content is.
You could also feature products, gear, clothing, and nutrition. Here are some fitness video ideas:
- Workout routines
- Transformation stories
- Stretching and warm-up routines
- Gear and equipment reviews
- Motivational quotes
21. Language learning
K, you’re not going to compete with Duolingo. But, people learning languages like seeing little daily clips that provide advice or insights on colloquial terms.

Just remember to ensure any automated text-to-voice is actually pronouncing words correctly!
- Grammar tricks and tips
- Pronunciation clarification
- Memes about language learning
- Inspirational stories
- Daily vocabulary
22. ASMR
Some ASMR accounts make hundreds of thousands of dollars every year, just from making relaxing and stimulating sounds.
If you make an account that gains attention, you could use it to direct your followers to your YouTube where you’d feature longer form videos for extra revenue. Ka'ching.
Just record the sounds and put it over a nice relaxing background. You might want to invest in a nice mic, such as BlueYeti to really up your standards.
You could try:
- Tapping and scratching
- Whispering and soft-spoken words
- Unboxing
- Eating sounds
- Writing sounds
- Object and tool sounds
- Role-playing (such as a hairdresser)
- Nature sounds
23. Health advice
While people shouldn’t be using TikTok to diagnose themselves, they can learn it to learn more about certain conditions and ways to stay healthy.
I’d say this is a niche that should only be used for those who are qualified to do so - someone who is familiar with a condition or has studied.
You’ll need to pair your narration with some insightful animations, graphs, or diagrams.
- Healthy recipes
- Daily wellness tips
- Fake news busting
- Self-care ideas
- Sleep tips
24. Music reviews
Are you a music geek? Same. If you like to share your opinions on music, then why not share your reviews of the songs, albums, remixes, concerts, and videos?
You don’t need to show your face, as you can use artist photos and clips to entertain your views. Use overlays to highlight your favorite moments, lyrics, and sounds.
You might land some brand deals and affiliate possibilities if you grow your following. Here are some popular ways to create faceless music review videos:
- Song breakdowns
- Album reviews
- Genre Exploration
- Comparing artists and covers
- Track of the week
- Lyric deep dives
25. Quizzes
The quiz niche is an ‘easy’ one. You need to choose a niche, get some facts and figures, and create great-looking, and fun quizzes.
There’s no need to show your face or even really do a voiceover. You can even squeeze out engagement by putting the answer in a separate video.
Monetization on quizzes from TikTok’s Creator Fund will be minimal. But, engagement can be huge and there is the potential for brand sponsorship if you get big.
Here are some ideas:
- Guess the song
- Guess the movie
- General knowledge
- Historical quizzes
- Quizzes that reveal something about the viewer’s personality, such as personality type, spirit animal, or fantasy celebrity partner.
26. Storytelling
If you like to write stories, it can be a great place to share your creativity with short stories narrated upon relevant backgrounds or animations.
If you write books, you could then use your account to share snippets that entice people to buy a real or ebook copy. You could even later launch courses on Whop to share your skills with aspiring writers.
Here are some ideas:
- Short horror stories
- Ongoing romance stories
- Life lessons and motivational stories
- Interactive ‘choose your path’ stories
- Historical stories
- True crime and detective stories

Popular professional development accounts cover:

Here are some ideas:
- Tech hacks
- Unboxing and product review
- Tech and gadget collections
- Tutorials on fixing and modding hardware
- Predictions on upcoming releases
29. Life skills
A lot of people don’t know how to do basic stuff. Even more, they don’t know how to do advanced stuff. You can help people out and gain popularity that can be converted into courses, digital products, brand sponsorships, and affiliate marketing.
There’s a guy on YouTube who’s been doing this for years called ‘Internet Dad’. From things like how to tie a tie, to how to change a flat tire, you just need to provide some general guidance on how to get through life.
- How-to’s on simple tasks
- Explain concepts
- Advice on navigating social situations
- Personal finance tips
30. App reviews
Finally, app reviews could be very lucrative with the potential for affiliate marketing and brand sponsorship from apps of all sizes.
Your job will be to screen record your phone using the app, reviewing it, showing how it works, and why (or not) your audience should download it.
You could niche down to get more specific, such as apps for tech bros, apps for fitness, or apps for travel.
Video ideas could cover:
- Apps of the week
- App comparisons
- Tutorials
- UX reviews
