5 Steps To Make Money On TikTok Without Showing Your Face

But what if you’re camera-shy or just don’t want your face all over the internet? No worries! You can still make serious money on TikTok without ever showing your face.

1. Start a niche page with voiceovers

2. Make money with product reviews (affiliate marketing)

• Pick a product people love (skincare, tech gadgets, kitchen appliances)
• Make short, engaging videos reviewing the product
• Add your affiliate link in the caption or bio

This strategy is great because you don’t need to buy the products yourself. You can use stock images and screen recordings, or use TikTok’s Green Screen feature to showcase them.

3. Create AI-generated or animation content

If you don’t want to use your voice, AI and animations have got you covered. Nigerians love funny skits, relatable stories, and motivational content. AI-generated videos or animated characters can help you create this without ever appearing on screen.

How to start:

• Use AI tools like Synthesia.io or HeyGen to generate a faceless presenter
• Create animated explainer videos using apps like Doodly or Canva
• Use CapCut to add motion text and transitions to storytelling videos

4. Reshare viral content 

• Compile funny reactions and add a voiceover
• Share trending news and give your opinion
• Repost viral challenges with subtitles explaining them

For example, a page could repost Nigerian football clips with commentary, or share trending celebrity news in a storytelling format. Just make sure to credit the original creator to avoid copyright issues.

5. Start a cash cow Tiktok page (monetise via Tiktok creator fund & brand deals)

If you want consistent income, a cash cow page is the way to go. A “cash cow” TikTok page is one where you post trending and high-engagement content that keeps people watching. Once you have enough followers, you can join the TikTok Creator Fund and get brand deals.

What type of faceless content works best for this?

• Compilation videos (e.g., ‘Best Nigerian TikTokers of 2025’)
• News commentary and reactions
• Countdowns (e.g., ‘Top 5 Richest Celebrities in Nigeria’)

Should you try this?

If you want an easy, low-risk way to start making money online, TikTok is one of the best platforms. You don’t need expensive equipment, you don’t need to show your face, and you don’t even need a huge following to start earning.

Just pick a niche, stay consistent, and use the right tools to make engaging videos. Before you know it, you could be earning money from TikTok without ever stepping in front of the camera.
