Intro

Faceless YouTube videos, especially documentary-style ones, are a lucrative side hustle, with some channels making tens of thousands monthly. You don’t need expensive tools or editing skills—just Canva. Follow this guide to create stunning, professional-quality videos entirely for free.

1. Script Your Video with ChatGPT

A well-crafted script is the foundation of any successful video. Engaging scripts paired with basic visuals can go viral.

Steps to Write a Great Script:

  1. Use ChatGPT: Input a prompt like, "Write a YouTube documentary script about Ancient Egypt, including scene descriptions and Canva-friendly keywords."
  2. Edit for Emotion: Review and punctuate the script to evoke the right emotions. Tools like ChatGPT can help fine-tune tone and pacing.
  3. Save and Organize: Separate your script and scene descriptions for easy editing later.
