Forget what niche you’re in.

There’s only one thing your script needs to do, hijack emotions.

Let me show you how to write with emotional gravity
👇
Stack micro-conflicts.
Don’t just tell one story.
Make 5 things go wrong in 2 minutes.
Never answer a question too fast.
If the question is “how did he survive?”
You better not answer that before the 7-minute mark.
Write moments where the viewer has to process.
Drop a twist.
Then slow the fuck down.
Every script is either a seduction or a manipulation.
Write accordingly.

Prompts don’t matter unless you know what makes a banger script.

Here’s what actually makes a $500 video 👇
– Hook in first 5 seconds
– Curiosity loop every 15–20
– Emotional build → psychological payoff
– Sounds like someone lived it, not wrote it

Most AI scripts = linear = boring = zero retention.
📌 Base Prompt (copy-paste this)

“You are a professional YouTube scriptwriter. You write faceless, documentary-style scripts designed for high retention.
Tone: Dramatic, emotional, first-person POV.
Structure:
– Hook (1 para)
– Setup (1 para)
– Tension (3–4 paras)
– Twist
– Payoff
– Resolution
Add curiosity every 4–5 sentences.
End every paragraph with a soft cliffhanger.”

Faceless youtube $0 Stack (2025)

Broke = Good, atleast you’ll focus.

Here’s the full no budget, no bullshit stack to run a faceless channel that actually performs

🧵👇
1. IDEATION

You need proof of work, not creativity.

Where to find what’s working right now:

– [trends.google.com]
– [vidiq.com/trending]
– YouTube search → Filter: “This Week” + “Most Viewed”

Reverse engineer → repackage → repost.
2. SCRIPTING

Use ChatGPT (free).

Prompt:
“Write a dramatic 6-minute YouTube script on [topic]. Hook in first 5 seconds. Make it emotional. Add twists. Make it addictive.”

Then run it through:
– = rewrite

Don’t write. Edit AI better than other people.claude.ai

🧵 ICEBERG NICHE

This is a SYSTEM thread

👇 Let’s scale
WHY ICEBERG NICHES PRINT

→ Built-in curiosity loop
→ Deep + layered = high AVD
→ Hybrid niche: history, horror, psychology, pop culture, conspiracy = infinite angles
→ Cross-niche discovery = high reach
→ Binge potential on steroids

Noobs see "iceberg" and think "let’s explain levels"
Pros know it’s retention architecture disguised as content
SILO STRATEGY

Don’t just make random icebergs.
Silo by theme archetypes.
(Each silo = mini content funnel)

Silo = 5-7 vids minimum. Each should:
→ Hook the same viewer
→ Feed the next
→ Expand narrative, not repeat

Examples of silos:
– Internet legends
– Historical dark truths
– Lost media
– Banned games
– Disturbing companies
– Subreddit-specific deep dives

Stack silos → dominate longtail keywords → trigger binge loops
That’s how you win search AND suggested.

The guy who posts 100 mid videos will beat your one perfect video 10 times out of 10.

You’re trying to go viral.
He’s trying to go volume.🧵
Here’s the faceless game plan you actually need:

Pick a niche that retains (scary stories, drama breakdowns, AI horror, pop culture scandals)

Drop 5 scripts using ChatGPT

Clone a voice that doesn’t suck

Use Pexels/B-roll templates

Post daily. 30 days. No breaks.
You will suck.
It will feel slow.
You will want to pivot 12 times.

Good. That’s the test.

DOCUMENTARIES NICHE: THE FULL BLUEPRINT
(for maniacs who scale first, think later)

Bookmark it. Build off it. Don’t ask me to repeat. 🧵👇
WHY DOCUMENTARIES WORK (EVEN WHEN THEY SHOULDN’T)

→ Format > Topic
You’re not selling “topics.” You’re selling immersion.
People click because they want to fall into a rabbit hole.

→ You can blend ANY niche into it
Tech? Finance? Crime? Conspiracy?
This is a Trojan Horse. Nobody’s clicking “Top 10 Stocks”—
…but “Inside the Collapse of the $400 Billion Scam”? That’s dinner.

→ Long-form = YouTube’s wet dream
More watch time, more midrolls, more trust.

→ High CPM, high retention, brand deals baked in
The doc angle turns “niche” into narrative. That’s premium ad space.
DON’T JUST DO “DOCUMENTARIES” → PICK A STYLE
(Your format is your fingerprint. Don’t get cute. Pick one.)

Exposé Doc
– Deep dive + dirt
– Think: scandals, betrayals, takedowns
– Hook: “The hidden rot inside _____”
– Watchdog tone. Serious, confrontational.

Timeline Doc
– Start → build → fall → aftermath
– Great for disasters, rise-and-fall stories
– Hook: “How _____ rose from nothing... then vanished overnight.”
– Uses structure to hook. You’re not storytelling, you’re chronicling.

Mystery Doc
– Unsolved, eerie, emotional
– Great for true crime, unsolved tech, crypto frauds
– Hook: “No one knows what happened to _____.”
– Slower pacing. Lean into silence, tension, doubt.

Culture Deep-Dive
– Zoom out on a trend, movement, community
– Hook: “The rise of _____ and why it’s terrifying/genius/wild”
– Best when paired with archival footage, internet rabbit holes

Character Study
– One person, fully unpacked
– Hook: “The misunderstood mind of _____”
– Use contrast: public image vs private unraveling

🧵 SPORTS NICHE
(not for casuals. this is a monetized blueprint)

Let’s break the whole thing down:
Who this niche works for
Which formats pop
How to script, edit, scale👇
WHY SPORTS SLAPS (if done right)
→ Built-in drama (goals, rivalries, failures, comebacks)
→ New stories every single day
→ Global reach = global CPMs
→ High replay value (people rewatch their heroes lose)
→ Brands throw 💰 at loyalty-based audiences

But don’t go general. Don’t do “sports.”
Do angles. Do tension. Do war.
SUB-NICHES THAT PRINT (PICK ONE AND GO ALL-IN)
🎯 Scandal Breakdown
– Cheating, PEDs, banned players
– “He had it all. Then lost it in 12 minutes.”

🎯 Underdog Legends
– Broke to pro. Injury to record-breaker.
– Best format for retention arcs

🎯 Explainers & Timelines
– “What really happened in the 2006 World Cup”
– Great binge-loop potential

🎯 Trash Talk & Rivalries
– Gets clipped + shared
– 80% emotion, 20% facts

🎯 What Ifs + Near Misses
– “If he made that shot, everything changes”
– Perfect for mystery-style packaging

🎯 Player Psychology / Mental Breakdowns
– High parasocial bait
– Crosses into self-help/inspo territory
