展示HN:使用AI寻找无面孔的YouTube频道
这是我尴尬的故事:
我以为“游戏精彩片段”会有效,所以制作了20个视频,结果只得到了47个订阅者。后来我意识到每千次展示的收入(CPM)大约在2到4美元之间。要想每月赚到1000美元,就需要50万次观看,这根本不可能。
接着我尝试了“励志名言”,但这个领域已经饱和,根本无法获得任何关注。然后我又试了“冥想音乐”,同样也饱和,并且还面临版权问题。我感到非常沮丧。我知道无面孔频道是可以赚钱的(我看到有些频道在赚钱),但我不知道如何找到有利可图的频道。
手动搜索YouTube简直是一场噩梦:
- 大多数频道偶尔会露脸(并不是真正的无面孔)
- 无法判断他们是否真的有盈利
- 无法了解他们的收入
- 找到好的例子需要花费很长时间
我浪费了三个月的时间在猜测上,制作了50多个不同领域的视频,但毫无进展。然后我意识到问题所在:我试图手动寻找有利可图的无面孔频道,这是不可能的。频道数量庞大,怎么知道哪些频道实际上在赚钱呢?
于是我建立了一个爬虫程序,跟踪每月收入超过5000美元的无面孔频道,开始分析哪些内容实际上有效。
我发现:
- 个人理财评测(预算产品) - 频道每月收入在15000到35000美元之间
- 科技比较(预算科技角度) - 频道每月收入在12000到28000美元之间
- “如何运作”内容解释 - 频道每月收入在8000到20000美元之间
- 排行视频(“十个低于Y的X”) - 频道每月收入在6000到18000美元之间
- 历史深度探讨 - 频道每月收入在10000到22000美元之间
规律是:所有成功的无面孔频道都选择了一个微小的细分市场。不是“科技评测”,而是“800美元以下的预算游戏笔记本电脑”。
我将我的研究转化为一个名为*ApexVix*的工具,以便其他人不再像我一样浪费几个月的时间。它跟踪各个领域中有利可图的无面孔频道,并向你展示:
- 实际每月收入在5000到30000美元之间的频道
- 他们所处的细分市场
- 增长模式
- 有效的上传频率
使用是免费的:apexvix
无需注册。我真希望我在开始时就有这个工具,这样就能节省我三个月的猜测时间。
如果你在寻找有利可图的无面孔细分市场方面遇到困难,这可能会有所帮助。欢迎提问!

Here's my embarrassing story:<p>I thought "gaming highlights" would work. Made 20 videos. Got 47<p>subscribers. Realized the CPM is like $2-4. Would need 500K views<p>just to make $1K/month. Not happening.<p>Then I tried "motivational quotes". Saturated. Couldn't get any<p>traction.<p>Then "meditation music". Also saturated. Plus copyright issues.<p>I was so frustrated. I knew faceless channels could work (I saw<p>some making money), but I had no idea HOW to find profitable ones.<p>Manually searching YouTube was a nightmare:<p>- Most channels show face sometimes (not truly faceless)<p>- Can't tell if they're actually monetized<p>- No way to know their revenue<p>- Takes forever to find good examples<p>I wasted 3 months guessing. Made 50+ videos across different niches.<p>Got nowhere.<p>Then I realized the problem:<p>I was trying to find profitable faceless channels manually. It's<p>impossible. There are millions of channels. How do you know which<p>ones are actually making money?<p>So I built a scraper to track faceless channels making $5K+/month.<p>Started analyzing what actually works.<p>What I found:<p>- Personal finance reviews (budget products) - Channels making<p>$15K-35K/mo<p>- Tech comparisons (budget tech angle) - Channels making $12K-28K/mo<p>- "How it works" explained content - Channels making $8K-20K/mo<p>- Ranking videos ("Top 10 X under $Y") - Channels making $6K-18K/mo<p>- Historical deep dives - Channels making $10K-22K/mo<p>The pattern: All successful faceless channels pick a micro-niche.<p>Not "tech reviews" but "budget gaming laptops under $800".<p>I turned my research into a tool called *ApexVix* so other people<p>don't waste months like I did. It tracks profitable faceless channels<p>across all niches and shows you:<p>- Real channels making $5K-30K/month<p>- What niches they're in<p>- Growth patterns<p>- Upload frequency that works<p>It's free to use: apexvix<p>No signup needed. I just wish I had this when I started. Would've<p>saved me 3 months of guessing.<p>If you're struggling to find profitable faceless niches, this might<p>help. Happy to answer questions!
