10 Faceless Niches No List Will Tell You About

Six months ago, this channel didn't exist. Its seventh video has one and a half million views, and it's about chess. Chess isn't on any of the ten biggest "best faceless niches" lists, 102 picks between them, or on twenty more I checked. So I went hunting: 118 searches across this year's videos, thirteen and a half thousand videos from seven and a half thousand channels, and 618 of those channels didn't exist on New Year's Day. Here are ten niches no list will tell you about, the new channels proving them right now, and the catch with each one. Which one would you start? Tell me in the comments, and subscribe for the next hunt. Chapters 0:00 A chess channel no list mentions 0:37 The hunt 1:18 1. Chess, explained 3:05 2. Everest disasters 4:04 3.
