#1. Screen Recording

Screen recording is at the top of the list. This is popular with people who want to teach software via a video tutorial.

The screen recording method uses software to record your instructions on the screen in real time.

There are browser plugins and free software that do this job effectively. However, professional software such as Camtasia produce high-quality videos and there are numerous advanced features in the software that will make your video stand out from the competition.

#2. Reviews or Product Demos

Produce reviews or demos are number two on our list of ways to produce videos without showing your face.

You just record your hands using the product as you review it.

For instance, you own a lawn care business. How could you possibly do that demo?

You could highlight the equipment you’ll be using and why you are using it, perhaps it is better compared to other equipment that does the same job.

Another video might show your hands as you toss mulch around while you discuss the most effective ways to pack mulch around trees or other important steps in the process.

This method is ideal if you have a hands-on business involving food, car care, cleaning etc.

#3. Gameplay Videos

Another technique where you don’t have to show your face is gameplay videos. TheRadbrad YouTube channel does an amazing job of this and they have 9 million subscribers to prove it.

PewDiePie became very popular on YouTube (over 65 million subscribers) playing video games without having to show his face. Sometimes PewDiePie did have a small square in a corner showing his facial expressions as he played. TheRadBrad doesn’t show his face, but he still generates a great income.

Slideshows can range from basic to advance and adding narration brings them to life.

OpenOffice or Movavi Slideshow Maker is useful software for producing slideshows.

You can even use video software to put together slides if you are feeling especially creative.

#5. Static Image

Faceless video making method number four uses static pictures or pictures that are stationary. Musicians and podcasters use this approach in an effort to attract more video watchers to their audio world.

In the beginning, this might seem dull, however, if your message is audio based, it is an excellent way to attract people who like listening to music, podcasts, TED talks etc., that they can listen to while doing other activities.

#6. Stock Graphics & Videos

There is an endless supply of stock images online or if you are skillful enough, you can make your own.

Check out the Alltime10s channel to see how this technique successfully uses stock images as the foundation of their videos. They use a combination of stock music, stock images and stock videos.

Stock images are available for virtually every topic you can think of. The majority you have to pay for but some are free. You can also make your own if you have the necessary skills.

Adding text to stock videos make them even more powerful. BuzzFeed is famous for using this technique.

Lifestyle bloggers and adventure travelers can get awesome videos that can be uploaded to YouTube showing you doing amazing things that the rest of the world would love to see from the comfort of their homes.

Doodle videos are often entertaining when the user is creative enough to distinguish themselves from other doodle videos.

A recording of your hands writing on a dry erase board or on a piece of paper is some of the most basic doodle videos. When you add video software, your doodle video comes to life.

You never have to show your face in most how-to videos. Simply record your hands and explain whatever your topic is. You can record yourself, minus your face, cooking, fixing things, putting things together, etc. Your options are virtually endless.

The only place this might present a problem is in make-up videos, but you can always do a how-to nails video.

The final result will be a useful and informative how-to video and you didn’t have to show your face a single time.

#10. Kinetic typography videos

I enjoy watch this style of video. They grab the user’s attention because they are so visually stimulating.

Software is available to create kinetic typography videos and it is simple to use, but they are lagging a bit behind the After Effects videos.

You will need a specific kind of skill set to create one of these videos. If you love this style so much and absolutely must have one, Fiverr or freelancer.com provides services that produce kinetic typography videos.

These are only some of the ways to make videos without showing your face. There are more, but this list is the best we’ve come across so far.
