Most people overthink their first YouTube channel. They spend weeks picking a niche, buy expensive gear, and never upload.

Here's what's actually working right now — channels making $3K-$10K/month with faceless content:

1. AI Tool Reviews — Every week a new AI tool drops. Make 8-minute walkthroughs. The RPM on tech content is $15-25 CPM, and the audience is growing faster than creators can keep up.

2. Personal Finance Breakdowns — Take trending money topics (tax changes, side hustles, investment news) and explain them simply with stock footage + voiceover. Finance RPMs sit at $20-40 CPM.

3. "How To" Automation — Show people how to automate everyday tasks with free tools. Think "How I automated my entire morning routine" or "This free app saves me 10 hours/week." Massive search volume, low competition.

The key with all three: consistency beats quality early on. Your first 30 videos will be rough. By video 50, you'll have a system. By video 100, you'll have income.
