If you're trying to build a faceless YouTube channel that earns $10,000 per month using AI, your success depends on one thing more than anything else:
👉 Choosing the right niche.
AI tools can write scripts, create voiceovers, build thumbnails, and even edit entire videos — but if you choose the wrong niche, none of that matters.
Some niches have $2 RPM.
Others have $30–$60+ RPM.
Guess which ones hit $10K/month faster?
In this guide, you’ll discover the 10 highest-earning AI-friendly YouTube niches, plus the secret niche almost no one knows about… but is quietly printing five-figure months for faceless channels.
Why Niches Matter More Than Anything in AI-Generated YouTube
Choosing the wrong niche = guaranteed failure
You can upload 100 videos, optimise SEO, and use every AI tool in existence…
But if your niche has low advertiser demand, your income will be capped.
High RPM vs. Low RPM Niches
- Business, finance, and software = $25–$60 RPM
- Entertainment and memes = $1–$5 RPM
- Gaming = $2–$6 RPM
- Make money online = $20–$40 RPM
RPM alone decides whether you need:
- 500K views/month to hit $10K
or - 50,000 views/month to hit $10K
AI content thrives where information matters more than personality — which brings us to the top 10 money-making niches.
