Making $200 a day with a faceless YouTube Shorts niche is very doable, but it requires consistency, smart monetization, and the right niche. Here's a breakdown of how you can realistically achieve that, step by step.

🎯 The Strategy: Faceless YouTube Shorts + Multiple Revenue Streams
Step 1: Pick a High-Monetization Niche
Faceless YouTube Shorts work best when paired with a niche that either:

Pays well via affiliate links or sponsors

Has high engagement for Shorts Fund, Ads revenue (via long-form expansion), or digital product potential

🔥 Top Faceless Niches:
Niche   Why It Works
AI Tools & Tech   High CPM, affiliate potential
Motivation/Success   Viral potential, affiliate books, courses
Finance/Investing   High CPM, sponsorship potential
Health & Fitness   Product sales, affiliate income
Luxury/Cars   Sponsorship + affiliate-friendly
Quotes/Storytelling   Easy to produce, viral potential

Step 2: Create Viral Shorts
Use free stock footage (Pexels, Pixabay, Storyblocks)

Add voiceover (your own or AI like ElevenLabs)

Use strong hooks in the first 3 seconds

Keep it under 60 seconds

Post 3–5 times per day

Tools:
CapCut or Adobe Premiere Rush (editing)

ChatGPT (scripts)

ElevenLabs or Murf.ai (voiceover)

Step 3: Monetize in Multiple Ways
Here's how you get to $200/day:

💰 1. Affiliate Marketing (Primary Method)
Promote a product in your niche using a link in your bio

Examples:

Promote AI tools in tech/AI niche

Promote Amazon products in fitness/luxury niches

Use platforms like Digistore24, ClickBank, or Amazon Associates

1 video can generate 5–20+ affiliate clicks/day. With a 3–5% conversion rate and $10–$50 commission, this adds up fast.

📲 2. YouTube Shorts Bonus (if eligible)
Not consistent or reliable, but can bring in $50–$500/month

📈 3. Long-Form Transition
Occasionally post 1–2 minute videos to start monetizing with ads (you need 1,000 subs + 4,000 watch hours or 10M Shorts views)

🤝 4. Brand Deals / Sponsored Shoutouts
Brands in your niche may pay for 10–30 sec mentions once you hit 10K+ subs

Step 4: Build a Content System
Post daily:

3–5 Shorts per day

Repurpose across TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels

Use scheduling tools like Metricool or Later

💡 Example Earnings Breakdown (Daily Target):
Income Source   Est. Daily
Affiliate Sales (5 sales @ $40)   $200
Shorts Fund (occasional)   $0–$10
Long-form Ads (if monetized)   $10–$50
Sponsorship (avg $300 deal, 1 per week)   ~$42

✅ Final Tips for Success
Focus on 1 niche, and post daily
